Controversy over the system ofchoosing the students to reside inLuce continues even though thenew dorm has only been open fortwo weeks.

Luce, located on the corner ofBeall Avenue and Pine Street, cur-rently houses 96 students, consist-ing of the French, German, Rus-sian, and Spanish language pro-grams, the Dean's Program, and 45returning students.

The dorm is mainly divided intosuites of six, nine, or 12 people.In addition there are two sets ofdouble rooms with adjoining bath-

rooms plus two individual doublesas well.

Luce also contains a languagelab, a weight room, a small li-

brary, a computer room with threecomputers; and a multipurposeroom with a small stage.

One major aspect of the Lucecontroversy stems from disagree-ment over whether the dormshould have allowed programhouses to reside there.

The residential life staff decidedthat the language programs couldbenefit from the language lab facil-

ity already planned to be built in

First-ye-ar class possesses"leadership potential"

KIM DOUGLASSVoice News Editor

As the 1990-9- 1 school yearcommences, Wooster welcomes507 new faces to its academiccommunity. This first year Classof 1994, comparable in size to lastyear's first years wih 811 enroll-

ment of 525, brings with it, asDean of Admissions HaydenSchilling reports, "a good deal ofleadership potential. These classesin recent years have been recog-nized for their diversity, and this iscertainly a diverse class in the bestway."

Wooster's newest class is com-

posed of 179 Ohio residents, andthe remaining two-thir-ds of theclass represent 36 states and ten

the dorm. They also decided thatall Luce residents could benefitfrom the work of the Dean's Pro-

gram, a new organization helpingwith peer leadership and education.Any remaining space was alloted

to general room draw. .

According to Betty Rea, Directorof Housing, "Our goal in this firstyear was to make half of the spaceavailable to programs and half ofthe space available to upperclasspeople to give them an equal op-

portunity, but within that, we alsowanted to equally divide the space,as much as possible, betweenmales and females."

- Although Luce appears finishedfrom the outside, many finishingtouches on the inside still remain

- to be completed. The lounges arewithout furniture and the centralair conditioning has not been in-

stalled., These items should be installedin the dorm in October, before theofficial open house.

Luce residents on the whole arehappy with the dorm, but are stillconcerned and upset about somedetails. Only one small panel inthe window opens seven inches,which doesn't allow air to get inthe rooms.

In addition, since the windowsdo not have screens, bugs can fly

foreign countries. These studentscome from various high schooltypes. Sixty-tw- o percent comefrom public school backgrounds,29 percent from private schools,and 3 percent represent a parochialschool background.

Schilling is positive about boththe academic and extra curricularcontributions he expects this classwill make. "About one in everyfour of these students were in-

volved in music in high school,one in four was on a newspaper oryearbook staff, one in four was in

The decision by the College ofWooster to turn Holden and Arm-

In the spring semester of 1990,the women of Zeta Phi Gammawere considering possibilties ofsection living. After previouslyliving in the eighth section ofBissman on the second floor inconjunction with two fioorsfaboveof EKOs, the Zetas decided thatthey enjoyed section life.

Forty-fiv- e black first-ye- ar stu-

dents were, scheduled to beginclasses this week, a 75 increaseover last year's first-ye- ar class andthe highest number of black first-yea-rs

in over a decade, according tothe College of Wooster's Office ofBlack Student Affairs.

"There's a genuine commitmentby admissions to recruit specifical-ly to African-American- s," statesOffice Director Lenora Barnes-Wrigh- t,

indicating that the in-

crease is no accident.

That commitment has resulted intwo faJPtime members of the ad-

missions staff, Jim Turner and Ge-

rald Cooper, whose sole assign-ment is to encourage minoritystudents to consider Wooster.

The black community has beenasking for that kind of commit-ment for ten years," says Barnes-Wrig- ht.

swering machines in other rooms.Members of the Spanish pro-

gram, who live on the lower floorof one of the nine person suites,dislike having to go upstairs andpass a large window just in orderto go to the bathroom. Other resi-

dents complained how impossibleit was to give directions to theirroom.

' Despite these complaints, resi-

dents of the brand new dorm recog-

nize advantages to living in Luce.The majority of language pro-

gram members enjoy being able tolive with members of the otherprograms and see them on a regu-lar basis. A member of the Frenchprogram who lived in a languagehouse the year before, however,commented that the houses felt"more homey" whereas Luce atsometimes felt like a giant con-vention center.

The opinion of non-Lu- ce resi-

dents about the dorm and wholives there is greatly varied, rang-ing from disgust to indifference.

Students have suggested that thedorm is a waste of money and apoor use of space, which does notnecessarily benefit the College.; One junior stated that it was anice gesture for Henry Luce III to

black community, who are alsocommitted to ensuring that blackstudents are recruited and will stayhere."

Retention of black students, says. Barnes-Wrig- ht, is a key ingredient

in recruiting. The number ofblack students who have graduatedfrom Wooster and done well in so-

ciety is one of the school's mosteffective recruiting tools, she adds.

"Wooster is becoming increas-ingly known as a liberal arts col-lege dedicated to nurturing blackstudents," says Barnes-Wrigh- t.

Barnes-Wrig- ht attributes thissuccess to several factors. First,the College has a good record ofrecruiting and retaining black fa-

culty. Second, black professorscan serve not only as instructors,but as mentors and role models forblack students. Finally, the Col-

lege has also hired a black counse-lor, Marilyn Kershaw, and a full-ti- me

Problems result in parking changesMARC SMITHVoice Assignments Editor -

Citing safety concerns, the Col-

icies of student parking. "It was asituation where we had to make achange," says Jim Foster, the as-

sociate director of security for theCollege. .

Last year students were assignedparking lots according to theirclass year and residence. For exam-

ple, a senior who lived in Kenard-e-n

was given priority to park inthe Kenarden lot over other classyears. But this year, seniors, jun-

Library stops circulatingKEVIN WAUGHVoice Staff Writer

Andrews Library has stopped thecirculation of periodicals in orderto increase the texts' availabilityto students and faculty. The mainissue is people have needed betteraccess for a long time," said Barba-

When the library circulated peri-

odicals, student access to the refer-

ian. "One I.S. student would takeout eight volumes and keep it for along time while an underclass per-

son would need it as well," Mon-

barren said.The library has had problems

with students not returning period-

commented senior Linda Miller,Zeta secretary. The only problemswill stem from the fact that we donot know them and they do notknow us."

"I have absolutely no problemwith women living in Armington,stated Junior Pete Horton, a mem-

ber of Beta Kappa Phi (Betas), "Iwas a bit suprised to hear that theywould be living here, but the onlychange is we may have to keep theplace a little cleaner."

Red signs at lots designate park-ing for returning students, whilegreen signs designate parking forfirst-ye- ar students. Returning stu-

dents are also allowed to park inthe green lots.

Jim Foster, associate director ofsecurity, comments that a changehad to occur. Parking "became lit-

erally unenforcable and also, con-

"It became unfair to the studentswho had less money," Connorsaid.' "Those who could afford topay for fines sometimes kept peri-

odicals for most of the year.Stopping circulation has becomean equalizer."Periodicals will also be betterprotected by remaining in the li-

brary, according to Bell. "We wantto protect the older periodicalsfrom the nineteenth century andearly 1900s," Bell said. "Up to1930, paper for books, newspa-

The only complaints of the newpolicy have come from seniorswho are angry, because they nolonger receive privileged parking.Foster knows "the system isn't go-

- King inherited the class from hisinstructor. Bill Roe. That wasway back in 1981, three years afterhe received his BA. from Woosterin history.

Since then he has been making atrip every Tuesday night from hishome in Ashland to Wooster towork out with his students.

King received his black belt in1979 from Roe in a school thatRoe evolved by combining vari-

The variant consists of 17moves and is called Chung's shortform. In addition to this. Roetaught him another set of Chinesestyles, from the Pakua school.These are based on animal forms.For example, tiger, dragon, andserpent forms are part of itsschool.

In addition to this, King is cur-rently working on his second blackbelt in Aikido, a 'Japanese stylewhere the force of the attacker isturned back upon the attacker.

Students, therefore, get the bestof the Japanese and the Chinesearts. .

The atmosphere is very casual,with almost no formalities. Themain object of the class is for anindividual to explore and learn theextent of their abilities, expandingthem to their fullest potential.

There is no fixed schedule or cur-

lieves that it is not just the stu-

ways learn something from the- students. The result is that mostof the time no one knows whatthey are going to be doing on any --

particular night.' There are no uniform require-

Bob Rodda, the new director ofLowry Center, already has a lot ofexperience on a college campus.Rodda came to Wooster from OhioState University, where, he wasAssistant Dean of Students--

At Ohio State, Rodda workedwith department planning, spacerenovation, and leadership develop-ment. He revised the materialsand coordinated the efforts of agroup of instructors who taught aseries of seminars on "LeadershipWithin Student Organizations."The seminars were quarterly three- -credit courses. Rodda was an in-

structor for one section of theseminars.

Also, when asbestos was foundto be contaminating the air on theOhio State campus, Rodda directedthe relocation of campus staff, fur-

niture, and equipment Roddacommented that though it was achaotic situation, "it all workedout in the end."

At the College of Wooster,da directs non-academ- ic schedul-ing. He organized the cultural cal-

endar of activities and has ultimateresponsibility for speakers thatcome to campus.

One responsibility includes eval-- "

uating the success of speakers andactivities for future reference inplanning campus events.

Rodda shares his responsibilitieswith an assistant, Mary Jo Otto.Otto is especially active in work-

ing with the Student ActivitiesBoard. She meets with SAJB. on

i day-to-d- ay basis and meets week--ly.wilh the individual board chairs.

Rodda thinks hell be a "new setof eyes to look at the operationand see what might be done better,if at all." He has a general sensethat things are running smoothly,but he wants to wait observe, andmake changes, depending on whathe sees could be done differently orbetter.

One of Rodda's suggestions forimproving the College is the earli-

er arrival of staff on campus to

dent organizations. ,

"Do The Right Thing"the credits roll with a quotationfrom Martin Luther King refutingall forms of violence, and a Mal-

lence in self defense. This hatredhas a painful price for the inno-cent; the loss of life as a result ofracial hatred still frequently occursin this country today, yet it is notdealt with by the authorities. Leeforces his audience to recognizethis.

Human beings are capable of anunconfined hatred that is rootedwithin the discriminations of soci-

ety. Hatred seems to dominatecompassion and love. People maybe incapable of fully understandingother people who differ from themculturally and physically. Theseare all conclusions that can be.drawn from Do The Right Thing.The disturbing nature of this film

"Push the button and well dothe rest."

Eastman Kodak revolutionizedthe industry with the above phrase.

These days, however, a professorat Wooster is determined to persu-ade students otherwise.

Susan Hansen was born in Bald- -.

win. New York. She lived therefor several years, and then movedto Connecticut where she has livedever since. She completed herB.F.A. in 1983 at the Universityof Connecticut in studio art, more '

specifically in photography and:printmaking. She went on to gether masters at the Rhode IslandSchool of Design in 1988.

Hansen is going to be teachingIntroduction to Photography, In-

troduction to Painting, and Intro-

duction to Drawing this year atWooster. She loves all forms ofart, but has been concentratingmainly on photography. A non- - --

traditionalist, she approaches pho-tography irf more than a two- - --

dimensional sense, utilizing sculp-ture and other three-dimensio- nal tprops to capture a feeling of space.Mainly focusing on studio pho-

tography, she prefers to use exist-ing light rather than to rely onstudio lights, and works with the4X5 format, relishing its versatil-ity.

Hansen's aim is to get peoplemore involved with thinkingabout making pictures rather thansimply taking them. She alsoadds that the prerequisite to pho-tography, a 100-lev- el studio artcourse, is a great way to introducestudents to the art of seeing.

An environmentalist, she feelsthat all artists have a message toconvey through their work and

As far as work at Wooster isconcerned, she would like to seethe art department, not just thephotography section, grow in boththe number of students and facultymembers. In the future, shewould also like to see computersbrought into the department as aform of media, which several uni-

versities have already done. .

One of the best things aboutWooster is the CLCA exchange

program, where an art major cango to a big city and get hands-o- n

experience in his or her field:Hansen feels that this is vital toartists because it helps them togrow and.mature and allows themto prepare for independent study.

She is full of praise for the inde-pendent study program and thinksthat it is very important for artiststo write about their work, to ex-

plain what it is that they are try-

ing to express. She would alsolike to see more exhibitions, notjust by faculty members, but bystudenu.

"I was just sitting there with myfishing poles hanging over therowboat when I heard a splash be-

hind me like a large bass jumpingor a kid thnrgjng a rock," saidRoelof.

. When be turned around he didn'tsee a fish but a plane.

"Contrary to popular beliefplanes don't float, they sink," saidRoelof.

The plane, a twin engine sixseater Cessna, did start to sinkquickly and Roelof saw a man, Da-

vid Swan, and a woman, LeighJeanette, treading water. Withouthesitation, he rowed over to them.

"The woman was shivering un-controla- bly

and bleeding profuselyfrom the head." Roelof thenhauled the man and the womaninto the boat and rowed them toshore.

Authorities later -- said that theman may have made it to shorebut that Roelof probably saved ,

Roelof. a volunteer fire fighterand lifeguard, was wen-prepare- d forthe emergency.

"I just sprung into rescue mode.I didn't evern think twice. I just didit. I took off my T-sh- irt and gaveit to the woman to stop the bleed-

ing," said Roelof. "Of all days tobe wearing a red shirt."

ticle to be similar to that of VicZiegal, a column writer for theNew York Daily News. It is mygoal for this column to try discussa wide range of topics very briefly.

I will not be nice; I may even at-

tack something or somebody youlike in the world of sports. That ismy right granted to me by theFirst Amendment. Yet, it is yourright to respond to what I have tosay, either to me in person orthrough this paper. If enough briefletters are sent in, I will print theletters in this column in the lastissue of every month. If that happens, you will run the risk of hav-

ing a snide remark by me to follow. . .

So what has most recently happened in the wide world ofsports...

How about those Athletics. Theynave one of the most feared lineupsin baseball and they go out and getHal Baines and Willie McGee.Talk about survival of the fittestand they are already 6 games up onpoor Chicago. They are a cinch totake everything. . y

And speaking of Oakland, Al Da

vis and his Raiders, who haven'tfilled the Coliseum in L.A. sincethe Bowl in 1984 are still lookingto return to Oakland this season.Gee, and with the package comesthe opportunity to play somethingike 6 of their first 8 games on the

road. Wow, what a deal! Go for itAl!

I really am starting to hate "BoKnows" commercials.

Gorsuch

CBS is entering it's first profootball season in many years without Brent Cheeseburger in their studios. NBC still has a very strongfigure with Costas. Will CBS loseviewers during their all so important NFL Today? Nahhh...

For those of you baseball fanswho haven't heard of Kevin Maas,dare you to look up his stats in thepaper one of these days.

I'll tell you, I really think I couldhandle making 3 million dollars ayear to hit about .250 with about 7homers and 50 RBI's..oh wait, DonMattingly and Robin Yount already1

got those jobs wrapped up.Speaking of great jobs....Mark

Davis. Kansas City Royals. Needsay more? And to think whatcould have done with 4 million dollars.

Look for the Jets and the Falconsto beat some teams this year. Andyou had better look for the Brownsof God-forsak- en Cleveland to losein the playoffs again this year.

Speaking of Cleveland, they really should turn that Municipal Pitin for a new stadium. It may putsome fannies back in the seats because the Indians never will. Ohthat's right, Cleveland Stadium isalso housing all the plaques for theRock, and Roll Hall of Fame. Mysincerest apologies.

O.K. enough Cleveland bashingJust to show you what kind of guyI am going to bash my favoriteteam, the Jets. You see they hadthis huge press-creat-ed quarterbackcontroversy between best friendsKen O'Brien and Tony Eason. O.K.how easy is it for new coach BruceCoslet choose between a guy whocan throw but not run and a guywho can run but not throw? What ajcontest! I still like them to go .500this year.

If II Messagro takes one moreNBA player you can bet that somepsycho fan is going to head to Italyto take this filthy rich organizationout with a few bullets. Hey , it justmay be me!

Until next week... .

Lady Scot Booters split in N.C. Wesleyan TournamentKARYN POWERSVoice Sports Writer

There is one simple fact aboutthe women's soccer team this yeanit is by far the strongest one yet.With 16 returning upperclass stu-

dents and seven outstanding first-yea-rs

the Lady Scots will haveno trouble in producing a formida-ble lineup. ;

But another lesser known factremains: the team faces the mostrigorous schedule in its history andone of the toughest in the countryfor a Divison III school. ,

Gone are the days of easy winsand total blow outs against teamslike Ouerbein and Marietta. :

Welcome to the land of nationalrankings and Ail-Americ- an line-

ups.Of particular note are nationally

Kahoona- - a word which in-

spires dread among Woostercross-count- ry runners. The Scots

.know this golf course hill andother obstacles only too well aftercompleting the "two-a-day- s" ofpreseason camp.

Coach Dennis Rice sees a longroad ahead for his harriers. TheWooster Invitational September22nd will be their first big meet.

'At the All-Ohi- o Championships,both teams will face top competi-tion from throughout Ohio.

The team's main objective,though, is to peak at Conferenceand the NCAC Regional Champi-onships.

campus since August 19th, theLady Scots were well prepared fortheir first scrimmage against Hei-

delberg University on Saturday,August 25th.

The final score was 3-- 0, Woost-e-r,

with goals netted by first-ye- ar

player Kerri Makar, senior CathieDocherty, and first-ye- ar DeliaHoye.

The team then had to face the re-

ality of beginning the regular sea-

son. Leaving in the dead of nighton Thursday, August 29th, thewomen traveled for 11 hours arriv-ing at the North Carolina Wesley-an campus, where they would becompeting alongside not one, nottwo. but three nationally rankedteams. With sleep still in theireyes and cricks in their necks fromattempted comfort on the bus, the

ready for Wooster"We've got a long way to go as

a team unit, but we are headed inthe right direction,'' stated Rice.

For the men, "a solid group re-

turns from last year" include sen-

ior team captains Rob Noble andBrad Longbrake, junior Mike Ra-chi- ta,

sophomores Jason Kelleyand Joel McBumey. The womenreturn their entire squad with sen-

ior team captains Shade Whiteseland Eva Dodds and juniors Karen '

Aeberli, Susan Louis, AnnaScherzer, and Beth Blakemoreheading the pack.

This large team of -- about 45men and women includes "a lot ofyoung under developed distancerunners, who will improve as theseasons and years go by," said

The temperature soon peaked at93 degrees and the team knew theynot only had to be mentallytough, but able to combat thesouthern heat for 90 minutes ofplay.

On Saturday, the team facedNorth Carolina Methodist, ranked !

no. 2 nationally. Methodist domi-

nated the game with its well-time- d

passes, strong shots, and threeAll-Americ- an, Irish National teamplayers.

Wooster goalie Marcie Hahnplayed well, coming out to denyseveral one-on-o- ne opportunities,but Methodist was able to findWooster's weaknesses and pene-

trate the goal area. The final scorewas 5-- 0, Methodist.

Undaunted, the Lady Scots re-

turned the following day to takeon 13 th ranked North Carolina .

Wesleyan, with a vengeance. Al- -

Some of top first year men areDan Dickey, Adam Kiss, AdamMeyers, Nathan Noy, HowartRentschler and Dave Stouffer. Su-

san Roberts, Joe Wallace, Lori

Straub and Amy Bacik should en-

hance the women's squad.Another important addition to

the program comes from deep inWooster's past. Assistant CoachJim Bean has returned after onceheading the men's track and cross-

country teams. He brings withhim inspiration and flavor.

Thk Friday the Scots will runin a dual meet at Oberlin.

This meet will be an indica-tion as to how summer trainingwent," Rice said.

though the bulk of the first halfwas played against Wesleyan's de-

fense, no goals were scored. Ironi-

cally, Wesleyan's sole scoring op-

portunity was in the last minutesof that first half, when a breakaway turned into a flubbed shotand hit the crossbar.

In the second half. the Woostergoals began to rack up. About 20minutes into the match, senior co-capt- ain

Mary Roraestant came upwith the ball to score after a touchfrom fellow captain, junior DotVerbrugge. A few minutes later,after a last ditch effort by a frus-

trated fullback resulted in a blatant,handball, senior Cathie Dochertywas at the penalty line and thegoal was good. The team's mo-

mentum was unstoppable and re-

sulted in yet another goal off of avolley by Verbrugge. Fifteen min-
