Currently, an anti-Dean driveunder the direction of JonathanOrloff is attempting to assemble asilent demonstration for the dayof Dean's speech. Many studentsboth at Georgetown and at othercampuses where Dean is to speakargue that the lucrative financialpayment Dean is to receive for histour rewards a man who was oneof the key conspirators in theWatergate affair.

Denying this allegation, Bojdakexpressed the opinion that "Inour eyes Mr. Dean is not acriminal. He has paid his debt tosociety for the actions he com­mitted while in the Nixon admin­istration. Now it is only right tohear him speak and let himpresent his story. Those whohappen to disagree with himshould at least give him thatright."

speech at Georgetown Universitv.According to Bob Bojdak, a

key organizer of Dean's speech atGeorgetown, "John Dean is defi­nitely at the present momentplanning to carry out his lecturetour. After his speech at theUniversity of Virginia, where hethreatened to cancel the tour, hereconsidered and has decided touphold his committments."

Dean, however, might decideto stop his circuit if any of hisfuture speeches were marred byheavy protests resulting in vio­lence. Likewise, if some of hislectures are boycotted to a signifi­cant degree and result in anempty hall, Dean might, in theopinion of Bojdak, decide tocancel the remainder of hiscircuit.

Opposition to Dean's up­coming talk at Georgetown washampered last Sunday nightwhen the Student Senate rejectedresolutions proposing a massiveboycott of Dean's speech and adecrease in his $3000 stipend.

The $3000 payment to Deanfor the speech has stirred much ofthe controversy. Bojdak deniedthat it was an unusually large sum

University President Rev. R. J. Henle, SJ announced that he hasreached a compromise decision on the commuter housing incident thatwill give 42 commuting freshmen beds on campus.

Henle CompromiseAdmits Commuters

University Presidentcompromise statementcommuters next year.

Fr. Henle's statement cameafter a week long deliberation andthe result reduced by more thanhalf the number of beds requestedby the Student Life Policy Com­mittee.

The committee, which wasunder the direction of Dr. PatriciaRueckel, vice-president for stu­dent development, voted lastweek to allocate 90 dormitorybeds for freshman commuters. Fr.Henle's decision significantly re­duced the committee's recommen­dation.

Last Monday night, secondNew North called a hall meetingto urge support in opposition tothe commuter housing plan. SinceFather Henle said earlier this yearthat he would be accessible tostudents, the residents decided totake their plea "to the top."

According to two of theorganizers, Tom Fleming (C'78)and Dan Zoller (C'78), twelvehallmates then went over toDarnall-St. Mary's to drum up

SEC Chainnan BrickfieldScorns Recommendations

by Lisa SmithNewly -elected chairman of the

SEC, Frank Brickfield, respondedto the recommendations of theTask Force assigned to study theSEC by calling these proceduralrecommendations "cumbersome."He explained that the proposalswould hamper the effective func­tioning of the SEC and pointedout that the concert business wasdifferent from other areas underStudent Government direction.

Brickfield claimed that im­mediate action and free decision­making are often necessary. "Ulti­mately, a proposed concert couldbe brought before the Senate,"he speculated. Brickfield is hope­ful that when the Task Forcereport is presented to the Senatefor formal approval, the Senate

At the time that the originalsuit was filed, Arthur Leach,attorney for the defendent ex­plained that it was based on twopoints. First, it was alleged thatMs. Bellefatto's privacy was in­vaded because the magazine didnot have her consent to print thearticle. Second, she claimed thatthe article described her in aderogatory manner which ledpeople to laugh and make fun ofher.

Gregg WernerThe common pledge running

through all the campaigns is moreinvolvement on the part of stu­dents. You remember the "morestudents involved in a less in­volved system" rhetoric of lastyear's campaign. If any candidateshope to achieve this goal, thenthey will have to give studentssome reason to become involved.In other words, they must offerthe hope that the senate willbecome effective at least in onearea. •

Times being what they are oras they often may tum to be,student concern is focused onrising costs, so that one of themain issues of the campaign couldtum out to be tuition, room andboard.

two are the perfect ticket tocapture the always neglected EastCampus vote. In an election thistight and with so few studentsvoting, you can't count the EastCampus out.

The field is being trampled bytwo Senate entries, the erstwhileex-SEC Chairman and his HouseCouncil running mate and finallyan Alban Thwer national. Althoughthere is by no means .a frontrunner as there was last year, ifone was forced to give a slightedge to one candidate (as oneadmittedly is not) then one wouldhave to give it to Dave Ralston.

Ralston has by far the mostorganized and thoroughly plannedeffort, surpassing even the well­oiled SEC machine. Ralston'smajor problem (aside from ex­plaining why it is Ralston­McCarthy not McCarthy-Ralston)is to overcome his image of beingjust another one of the admin­istrators.

PIRG Will DefendResidents Rights

by Peter HerbstAs part of its efforts to assist

tenants and combat the housingcrisis, the DC Public InterestResearch Group (PIRG) has an­nounced the opening of a RentControl Infonnation Center atGoergetown. GU PIRG will bemaintaining hours from 1 :00 to5:00 in the afternoon in its officelocated in the basement of NewNorth to inform tenants of theirrights and assist them in filingcomplaint forms under the con­troversial DC Rent Control Law.

According to Marilyn Tessel,GU chairperson, "many tenantsremain unaware of their rightsunder rent control." Under therent control law enacted lastsummer, rents are limited to a 12per cent ceiling based on February1973 level. Rents cannot beincreased if a building is in"substantial" violation of thehousing code. Tenants are alsoprotected against landlord retalla­tion and eviction without cause.

Many tenants have been dis­couraged from exercising theirrights under the statute due to arecent court order to raise rentsabove the 12 per cent legal ceiling.Marilyn Tressel, however, stressedthat the order does not effect themajority of DC tenants. Tenantshave the option to Petition theHousing-Rent Commission, theadministrative agency overseeingthe DC rent control, for rentreductions.

Rent Control has now entereda crucial period of survivial.According to DC PIRG staffmember Kathy Gannett, only 300of Washington's 188,000 tenantshave filed petitions for rent reliefto the Housing Rent Commission.

The Pub, an auxilliary enterprise of the University, is included in theUniversity's non-profit status. Any non-profit operation is responsiblefor covering all costs related to the operation and it is also responsiblefor its future. Any income generated is reinvested in the physical,quality and service aspects of the operation. A non-profit operationsuch as the Pub is especially vulnerable to the effects of inflation. Price

rises have taken place for beer,wine, soda, paper goods, cleaningagents and plastics.

Improvements last summersuch as the bar, sinks, divider andthe SEC ticket office exhaustedour funds by the beginning ofSeptember. The following op­prating expense statement coversthe period of .September, 1974,through December, 1974.

Other changes were deemeddesirable by the management,most of which were done byemployees at a savings. Thesecosts will hopefully be made upover a period of time: table,$300.00; key rack, $300.00; shed,$200.00; floor, $1,100; brickdivider, $100.00.

We would now like to addressourselves to the question ofwhether a price increase' wasindeed justified. To illustrate thiswe have broken down the costsincurred per 12 oz. cup of beer.Beer receipts are over 80 per centof our sales. Explanations willfollow.Total

Operating Income

The first three items are self­explanatory. The tax is the 6 percent sales tax on alcoholic bever­ages, which the Pub absorbs andpays to the District of Columbia.Fees and supplies include the costof the ABC license and main-tenance and business supplies.

The entertainment item covers regular costs of running our soundsystem .and the Sunday Evening Jazz Concerts. Sound equipment costsare projected over three years. Space allocation refers to a charge by theUniversity on auxilliary enterprises to cover space usage, utilities, andbanking and payroll facilities. This amounts to approximately $5,000annually. The center expenses include the Pub's share of maintenanceand security for the University Center. The loan item is payment overa five year period for the $25,000 restrooms. The loan carries a 10 percent annual interest. The 4.22 percent "profit" is a highly liquidcontingency fund necessary to cover incidental and unforseen expensessuch as theft and vandalism.

In closing, there are three factors we wish to note. First, the Pubdoes not use a profit maximization formula for price determination.Being a non-profit organization our prices are based on costs. Secondly,the purpose of the Pub was not, and is not, solely to provide cheapbeer. Rather, it is to expand on what was last year a very limitedUniversity Center. We want to provide the Georgetown communitywith a comfortable place in which to socialize on campus. Finally,monthly statements will be posted in the Pub. The campus media hasbeen and continues to be invited to examine our books at any time.

Instead of rashly boycotting the rest of thegames, the players backed their coach anddeclared that "GU is our school." Theyproved themselves to be above the deplor­ables who uncurled that banner.

However, the same cannot be said forFred Baylor who represented the BlackStudent Alliance at the news conference.Although he apologized on behalf of thetotal black community at GU, Baylortarnished his reply by saying that he wasapologizing for "some of the white studentson this campus."

The HOYA, as well as the entire studentbody, regrets that this incident everoccurred. A rational person would neverhave intended it to happen and certainlywould not have condoned it. But Baylor'sremarks indicate certain erroneous assump­tions on his part. Despite his and the BSA'sanger or resentment, this type of reactiononly instills more racial tension within theUniversity.

The HOYA wishes to apologize to CoachThompson and his team for the banner. Wecan only say that the people involved shouldbe pitied and not held as representative ofthe University.

prices.This is the heart of SEC's problems. The

solution to this problem must involve aredirection of that philosophy. This includesthe scheduling of fewer concerts with biggerstars that are more appealing to theGeorgetown audience. The facts bear thisremedy out: While continually losing moneyon lesser named performers, the SEC made$1600 on the Harry Chapin concert and$1000 on the Sha Na Na performance. Ingeneral, the focus of SEC programmingphilosophy should be the GeorgetownStudent. One excuse for large SEC losses hasbeen the dying concert market in the Nationat large. The way to avoid the effects of this,is certainly not by entering deeper into it.

Last Wednesday night at the Georgetownvs. Dickinson basketball game in Me­Donough gymnasium, an unfortunate inci­dent occurred which had more far-reachingimplications than the game itself. Yes,Georgetown won in a landslide victory, but"the Coach did not exude the expectedpost-victory ecstasy.

Instead, John Thompson, the Hilltop'sfirst black coach, was slapped down by someignorant person or persons who felt that aracial slur would improve the Hoyas'disappointing record.

"Thompson, the nigger flop must go" wasdisplayed on a banner that was hung from awindow in the gym before the game. It washung next to the American flag.

Very few spectators knew of the displayand very few supported it. But JohnThompson did know about it and so did therest of his players.

Yesterday morning, Coach Thompson'sathletes called a team meeting to publiclycondemn the slur. The team was visiblyupset and rightfully so. Coach. Thompsonwas somber.

The team should be praised for reactingso intelligently and rationally to the bigotry.

Catch '89

George Behan

The power of Dr. Patricia Rueck­el, Georgetown's vice- president forStudent Development and one of thelongest-lasting Georgetown adminis­trators in recent years, has beenchallenged and partially setback by agroup of students, primarily fresh­men, who decided that they should

have inputinto deci­sions affec­tion them.

Rueckelengineered a committee decisionallowing 90 student beds to be givento freshmen from the Washingtonarea, although the committee wasneither representative nor thouroughin its investigation, according to TomBryan, a committee member. Whatthe committee decision will do, ineffect, is push 90 upperclass studentsinto the off-campus housing market,which is already substantially over­crowded in the immediate area.

The question was whether a

freshman from Rockville should begiven housing before a sophomorefrom Cleveland, and Rueckel basedher decision on a theory in a bookcalled Commuting Versus ResidentStudents, written by a vice presidentfrom Empire State College. Mostprobably, Empire State College hasthe facilities to house commuters.We do not.

Under the recently reorganizedadministrative structure at GU,Rueckel no longer reports to anothervice president, who in tum wouldreport to the president. She nowreports directly to the president and,as many administration people claim,"usually gets her way."

The compromise proved that Fr.Henle does listen to student input, atleast to a certain extent. If he hadgone further, though, and investigat­ed on his own, he might have foundthat Rueckel and her committee didnot even know how many com­muters now reside on campus,

excluding Community Scholars andAthletes. The Residence Life Officenever compiled that statistic, but itappears that there are already morethan 42 commuter upperclassmenresiding on campus. •

One interpretation of Henle'sdecision therefore is to put the 42Irosh commuters on a "waiting list"priority, and insure that upperclassresidents have a better chance in theroom lottery. These 42 names wouldbe given first priority on the waitinglist and quickly assigned to rooms asthey become available. Henle's deci­sion did not specify that they shouldbe assigned to freshmen corridors.

The ambiguities in Fr. Henle'sstatement yesterday seem to indicatethat he actually sided with thestudents against the Rueckel- com­mittee decision. In the statement, hecited a "philosophical argument" infavor of the commuters and a"pragmatic argument" on the otherside, thus making his compromise an

apparent non-sequitur. It wouldappear that pragmatic considerationshave to take precedence in thisinstance.

With the opposition voiced by anumber of interested freshmen, thenumber would have probably stoodat 90 beds, and the chances of thesefreshmen of attaining campus hous­ing next year greatly reduced. Thesestudents, especially from New NorthHall, organized a calm, rational showof opposition to the Student LifePolicy Committee decision. Theywere attempting to put the decisioninto the hands of those who will beaffected by the decision, and that isa principle which is hard to criticize.While the compromise decision is byno means satisfactory nor feasiblefor the 1975-76 academic year, thebright spot to be noticed here is thata great number of first-year studentshave realized that they are theUniversity, not the 9-to-5 bureau­crats.

An ex-con recently released from prison islooking to make himself a few bucks so he can payhis legal fees and support his family. It happensevery day and no One so much as raises an eyebrow;in fact, he is usually complimented on his desire to"go straight" and wished luck because he has "paidhis debt to society." Except, however, when theex-con is John W. Dean III, former Counselor toformer President Richard Nixon.

Dean's desire to go on the lecture circit hasprecipitated a controversy for a number of reasons.Some people object to an individual getting richfrom poking around the entrails of one of the mostcorrupt administrations in American history. Othersfeel that it would be "morally wrong" to supportsuch a venture by attending one of the lectures,should it take place, and seek to persuade theirfellows to join their righteous boycott. Both groupsmake about as much sense as a Ron Zeigler pressconference.

First of all, John Dean, despite hi') faults, is inthe truest sense of the term an historical asset. Putbluntly, he blew ths whistle on former PresidentTruth. Dean's long, loud blast WlU. one of the factorswhich set in motion the process by which a cancerwas removed from the country. His role in the highdrama of the last two years can not be denied. Sincehe was such a major actor, we can learn fromhim-not necessarily from what he says (which willundoubtedly add nothing to what is already publicknowledge), but from observing him first-hand,watching him react to a live and undoubtedly

• • • •skeptical audience, gaining personal insight into justwhat it is that makes such a man tick.

As an historical asset, Dean is simply following along tradition of trying to get rich by capitalizing onhis experiences. His experiences were unique andnow he is trying to peddle them, much like marcoPolo, writers of autobiographies and astronautswho do commercials. If the public is sufficientlyinterested, they will pay, The greater the interest,the greater the price that can be commanded.Supply and demand do not respect real or imagined"merality."

The "morality" of condoning Dean's quest toturn a profit on his association with the NixonAdministration by attending one of his lectures is amatter of personal judgement. It is also up to theindividual to decide whether Dean's fee of $3,000 isexhorbitant or not.

The reason why Dean's attempt to talk his wayinto the upper income tax brackets has sparked suchheated discussion is not, :t seems, so much a concernfor the crimes Dean has committed, but for the oneunpardonable offense he is now committing. Dean iscurrently doing something which has been thedownfall of countless Americans in public life: heis making the people of this country face up tosomething they would rather bury and forget. JohnDean's presence behind a podium is both anaffirmation of the American system and a reminderthat, at this time, our system is undergoingwrenching strains. And if there is one theme whichruns throughout American history, it is that we donot want to be reminded of what is wrong with us.

beautiful and colorful sixthchords.

The Master chose to end hisprogram with a lively, triple-meter"granada" by Isaac Albeniz, anearly champion of NationalSpanish music. In "Iberia" heapplied the impressionistic tech­nique as developed by Debussy.This "Granada", in minor, is atricky yet melodic work, clearlynot for dilettantes. The marveloushands of Andres Segovia brought

tive minor melody with a recur­ring countermelody; the following"Allegretto" was similar in char­acter, and Segovia interpretedboth in an almost hypnoticallysimple and beautiful manner.

Segovia's profound influenceon the place of the guitar in themusical world is further indicatedby his selections for this recital:over half of the works performedwere dedicated to him, theircomposers prominent in the musicworld. Thus, to begin the secondhalf of his performance he chose"Diferencias on a Theme" by J.M.Molleda, a contemporary yetrelatively little-known composer.This piece consists of severalvariations on an interesting themein minor. Next was anotherdedicated work, a "Serenade" ofGustave Samazeuilh (1877-1967).Chiefly through d'Indy and somelessons with Paul Dukas, Sarna­zeuilh absorbed the distinct styleof French Impressionism, but fewperformances have resulted in hisbeing known better as a writer onmusical subjects. This Serenade'smelody, starting in minor, con­tains significantly more chordmodulation (and more "distant"modulation) than most of theother selections; interesting fea­tures of this particular serenadeare the glissando chords playedwith the thumb up to the lowest­pitched string (instead of theusual strokes down to the higheststring), and the employment of

In our opinion the language istoned down and you probablywon't be offended. What wasconsidered obscene in the early1960's is heard often in publictoday. So don't go to Lennyexpecting to see a two-hourmonologue of filth and four-letterwords. You can expect to see thestory of Lenny Bruce through theeyes of the people who knew andloved him the most.

fast finger-picking, with a slowconcluding section in minor. Theremainder of the Suite consistedof alternating sections of quickercharacter in major followed byslower sections in minor; it endedwith a lively, tricky flourish.

All of the guitar compositionsof Fernando Sor (1778-1839) aremodeled after the Classical forms,rather than on popular motifs.Before continuing with Sor's"Andante," Segovia expressed hisirritation with the somewhat ill­mannered audience by conspicu­ously waiting for reasonable quiet.The "Andante" opens delicately(in major), followed by a sectionin minor. The next piece nearly allwill recognize as "The Bear WentOver The Mountain"; this varia­tions on the theme of "Mar­lborough s'en va-t-en guerre"features melody passages inoctaves; and "harmonics", dif­ficult to execute tastefully.Segovia showed his mastery ofboth technical problems fabulous­ly.

His fourth selection was agroup of two pieces dedicated tohim by Manuel Ponce(1887-1948), a Mexican nation­alist composer and pianist. Pos­sessing a great gift for melody,Ponce's contact with Frenchmusic (chiefly through Dukas)wrought a radical change in hisstyle of composition; his laterworks are more polyphonic instructure and more "economical"in form. His "Cancion" is a plain-

but a one man side show. Peoplewould flock to see his showhoping to see him arrested.

One impression of the realLenny Bruce is different. Aftertalking with people familiar withhim and reading articles abouthim, we feel that the movie wasinaccurate. Lenny Bruce isremembered as a dirty comic-notas a social reformer. He wasobscene because he loved thereaction of an audience. He saidanything he felt like saying,nobody or nothing was sacred tohim.

Even though factually themovie is less than perfect in detail,Bob Fossee (Sweet Charity andCabaret) does an excellent job.Lenny was filmed in a black andwhite documentary style. Themovie is a series of interviews­with his wife, Honey (ValeriePerrine), his mother, Sally Marr(Jan Miner) and his fictiousmanager (Stanley Beck)-andftashbacks dealing with scenes ofLenny's life and bits from hisnightclub act. 'This skillful tech­nique commands the viewer'sattention very well. Fosseebandled transition from interviewto ftashback in such a way thatthe movie ftowed from scene toscene without confusion.

Andres Segovia:At the Kennedy Center

Toward the end of the 19thcentury, a new surge of interest inthe guitar began. At first it waslargely a Spanish phenomenoncentering around the figures ofFernando Sor and later FranciscoTarrega; this flame of enthusiasmwas guarded and nurtured by afew younger men, notably AndresSegovia, who has been largelyresponsible for today's worldwideinterest in the guitar. Born inLinares in 1892, he first studiedseveral instruments, acquiring on­ly a smattering of formal know­ledge of the guitar. He soon con­centrated on his study of theguitar, teaching himself, and inthe process developing the meth­od of playing the classical guitarwhich is now taught in most ofthe modern classical guitarschools. In 1915, at the age oftwenty-two, he musically eon­quered Paris. His first internationaltour was launched in 1943 underdirection of impresario Sol Hurok,his permanent international mana­ger.

The first half of Segovia'sFebruary performance at theKennedy Center featured four pro­minent composers, in a roughlychronological sequence. He beganwith Robert de Visee's(c.1650-c.1725) "Short Suite inD," which opens with a gentle,plaintive melody in D minor, witha complementing section in major.The second movement featured

Lenny: At the Avalon 1 Theatre

Did you every walk out of amovie, feel sorry for the hero yetwonder whether or not the storywas true? Lenny, now showing atthe Avalon 1 Theatre on Con­necticut Ave., gives one just thatimpression. Julian Barry, whowrote both the stage show andscreenplay, portrays Lenny(Dustin Hoffman) as a sincere,stubborn individual striving forsocial change. In the movieLenny's nightclub act seemed tofocus upon important social issueswhich were later popularized andexamined in the more liberal1960's. For example: racial dis­crimination, homosexuality andsexual repression. One would getthe impression that Lenny Brucewas a man ahead of his time andconsequently misunderstood bythe people of his era (late 1950'sto early '_960's).

Lenny was not afraid to speakhis mind or to say exactly what hefelt. Therefore he used obscenityand perversion to convey hismessages. He was arrested manytimes for violating archaic ob­scenity statutes, but this dido'tstop him. His arrests increased hispopularity and the courtroomscenes made great material for hisact. He was no longer a comedian

To the Editor:Few would disagree that stu­

dents have a basic right to privacy;this includes the confidentiality ofa student's academic record. Theserecords should not be madeavailable to just anyone, least ofall to other students. One stu­dent's Q.P.I. is 1) no otherstudent's business and 2) shouldtherefore be inaccessible to un­authorized persons. But, it wouldseem that the Business School haseither disregarded this confiden-

I know of a case where twostudents recently obtained thetranscript of a third studentsimply by picking his transcriptout of a pile of transcripts lyingon a desk in the Business SchoolOffice. What makes this evenworse is that I have been assuredthat this situation has existed forseveral months!!

I am appalled that a universityof Georgetown's caliber wouldhave so little respect for theacademic privacy of its students.Perhaps this is a luxury that ourtuition no longer includes.

Wagner

WrongedTo the Editor:

I am writing this in reply toyour recent article on Wagner by aMr. Ivan Katz. In this article, Mr.Katz sees fit to dismiss theSeraphim recordings of the Ringunder Fiirtwangler as largelyworthless, despite comments byvarious professional listeners,most notably the American Re­cord Guide, to the effect that, inmany respects, these recordingsare the best available, superior

even to the far mort' expensiveofferings available on London,Philips, and Deutsche Gram­mophon.

More offensive yet was Katz'streatment of the Wpstminsterrecordings. Concerned withquality (supposedly) for the bodyof his article, he neglects tomention the lack of serioustreatment of the work in Wpst·minster's production. Typical istheir cover of Die Walkure, wherethe traditionally customed Briin­nhilde is replaced by a seductiveblonde wearing two VW hubcapsin lieu of breatplates. This is popculture at its most vulgar. I wouldstrongly suggest that Mr. Katzconsider available recordings morecarefully in the future beforeresorting to invective of the typehe provided us with, withoutdocumentation, in this article.

Housing

HassleTo the Editor:

The Student Life Policy Com­mittee has grievously erred in itsrecent decision to misallocatedormitory space to freshmencommuters. First, whether or notthe Student Life PolicyCommittee is aware of it, George-

town University is currentlyundergoing a housing shortage.Each year unfortunate upper­classrnen must search the localarea for housing. TIl£' recentdecision by the Policy Committeewould only worsen the problem.The University has a responsibilityto rectify the housing shortage,not a right to aggravate theproblem by discriminatory deci­sions. The excuse that a studentknew about the housing shortagebefore he came hero is a poor one.The University has continuouslymaintained a commitment tosolving the housing problem.Secondly, commuters choose toattend Georgetown as commuters.No promises were (or should be)made to them concerning on­campus housing. When this Uni­versity becomes able to handle itstotal housing commitment, com­muters certainly should be able toobtain on-campus housing. Thathappy situation is not the realityon this campus.

This matter is now before Fr.Henle. It can only be hoped thatthe choice he makes will show acontinued effort to keep theburden of the housing shortageoff of those least able to bear itand an ongoi.ng commitment toalleviate that shortage so that allmay be able to enjoy the benefitsof on-campus housing.

who drives a truck for "Grandma's Crunchies."Reynolds is so adept at his trade that Williard won'taccept a nine hole match going out five holes up.

Kenny's main competition for the NationalOpen, his first time in serious contention for amajor title, is Donny Smithern. Smithern, born witha silver spoon, fits the stereotype of the wealthyredneck. Beverly, Puckett's second wife, once toldhim point blank. "It's rather difficult to have asensible discussion with anyone who learned hispolitical science from Bob Hope."

Donny, considered an idol on the Tour, is lessthan discreet concerning his infidelity. To him,"love is a 280-yard drive and a seven-iron four feetfrom the pin." Jenkins uses Smitbern to commenton the misplaced loyalty of the fan. The star states"the trouble with liberals is they don't want anyoneelse to talk." Donny makes this revelation after aTexas oilman expounds for half an hour on "theproblem of keeping the nigger down so every whiteman's daughter doesn't get V.D."

Jenkins uses many of the same elements in DeadSolid Perfect that were found in Semi-Tough. Thefirst person style, the language and attitudes arecommon to both books. Jenkins has managed tointerconnect, yet give individual identity to thebooks.

Dead Solid Perfect, independent of Semi-Tough.is a oook worthy of recognition. Author Jenkins hasdone it again, and he soon may claim the title of theforemost sports novelist currently writing.

Jenkins Second Is Solidby Steve Friedman

It has been just over two years since the literaryworld was turned on its ear by the antics of a pair ofTexas Good-Ole-Boys, who just happened to bedamned good football players for the New YorkGiants. The stunts of Billy Clyde Puckett and ShakeTiller earned author Dan Jenkins' Semi-Toughbest-seller status.

Jenkins, a Sports Illustrated Senior Writer, isback with a raunchy, hilarious novel, Dead SolidPerfect. Perfect centers on the trials and tribulationsof Kenny Puckett, a 34-year-old, moderatelysuccessful professional golfer. Puckett, uncle ofBilly Clyde, is in contention for the United StatesOpen, one leg of pro golfs famed "Grand Slam."

A two-time loser in marriage, Puckett is currentlywed to Janie Ruth Rimmer, "whose delicious bodyis matched by her generosity in sharing it withadmirers, of whom there are many." Is it anywonder he composed the country tune "If MyHeart's Community Property, Then Get YourMental Cruelty Off My Ass." He tells his secondwife, an intellectual who proved too much for theTexan, "You thrive on combat so much you shouldhave been an ... Israeli."

The novel takes place over the four day Open,with scenes from the golfer's previous escapadesgenerously thrown in. Kenny grew up on the GoatHills golf course in Fort Worth, where he traveledthe links with the likes of Spec Reynolds, theperennial hustler, and Williard, the proverbial loser

Rifiing is a very individualisticsport, although on the collegelevel it is practiced exclusively ona team basis. Each shooter musttrain himself to pay strict atten­tion to every detail of his positionso that he can remember fromsession to session exactly how toduplicate or improve his position.

Under the coaching of MasterSergeant Larry Pease and guidanceof Captain Chuck Steiner of theGeorgetown ROTC department,the expertise of the team hasgrown immeasurably. Members ofthe team have begun to developthe sense of competition againstoneself that is so necessary inshooting.

College competition involvesthree positions: prone, kneelingand standing. The whole focus ofpractice is to improve one's holdso • that it is as steady andconsistent as possible; team mem­bers will go to great lengths toachieve this steadiness. Methodsrange from drinking four cokes ina row (for energy) to eatingnothing at all for the length of thematch-sometimes a whole day.That takes devotion.

of yoga will eliminate all physicalhangups, and so the possibilities ofawkward, uncontrolled movementsthat could lead to injury are vastlyreduced." Also, by developing theconsciousness that you are not yourbody, Mrs. Goldberg said, "you getrid of a lot of unnecessary tensionand feel complete confidence in your

physical condition.While yoga, kung-fu and trans­

cendental meditation are spiritualexercises outside of sports, a philoso­phy known as zen attempts tocombine the two disciplines,Through effortless deep-breathing,the follower of zen loses his physicalconsciousness and falls into "su­preme spiritual alertness."

In his book Zen and the Art ofArchery, Joseph Herrigel attributeshis excellent markmanship to the useof zen. By combining bow andarrow, target and shooter into oneorganic whole, zen diminishes therole of the shooter and causes thearrow to "release itself."

An intramural athlete who pre­ferred to remain anonymous hasexperimented with zen, and has

.! noted an incredible jump in hisfree-throw percentage as a result.Just as in archery, the shooterbecomes one with the target (ill' thiscase, with the hoop). By tying one'sconsciousness to the basket, neitherthe shooter's confidence nor hisnatural rhythm will be altered.

According to the anonymouseager, "It's like the feeling you getwhen you hit a couple of jumpers ina row. Everything seems so smoothand easy and when you get the ballyou know it's going in."

Are you listening, Wilt Chamber­lain?

to another Eastern cult, namely kungfu. Although Gabe claims that he canduplicate every feat of TV's DavidCarradine, he did not undertake thestudy of kung-fu for that reason. "Itkeeps my body flexible and supple,he said, and I am more alert and havegreater powers of concentration thanever before." Through soft-fluid

movements and deep mental concen­tration, kung-fu mobilizes an energycurrent called chi, which in turnguides the physical movements.

A third ritual with increasingpopularity among athletes is yoga.Defined as the union of the individ­ual self with the universal spirit, yogaseeks to attain a lowered form ofconsciousness in which each individ­ual will be liberated from pain andsuffering. Greta Goldberg, whoteaches two coed yoga classes atGeorgetown, says that "the practice

proven that prolonged meditationwill cause a stabilization of thenervous system, a sense of relaxationand a feeling of increased concentra­tion. After experimenting with medi­tation, many athletes claim to beabel to block out external percep­tions (such as the crowd or adefender, for instance) and concen­trate more clearly on their specificgoal.

-"TM"-Transcendental meditation, or TM • ,

as it is sometimes referred to, is themost familiar form of consciousness­raising in the US. Popularized byMaharishi Mehesh Yogi, its followersinclude two of the biggest enigmas inpro sports today, Joe Namath andBill Walton.

Namath often cannot complywith the demands of TM, whichrequire abstraction from the purelyphysical. As he told Dave Brady ofthe Washington Post last October, "Igot away from it for a couple ofmonths in the off-season, staying outlate and getting up late, but I amback into it. "It has a lot of scientificfact behind it."

By sitting in an upright, comfort­able 'position, closing one's eyes andrepeating a specific mantra (a special­ly selected word), the participantwill emerge from his current state ofdivided consciousness and enter into"pure awareness."

If performed correctly, TM willprovide deep rest, which will in turnbe a basis for dynamic action.Although this has not been the casewith Walton, who has spent moretime meditating in the hills ofCalifornia than he has playingbasketball TM has attracted enoughfollowers to be taken seriously.

"Another Carradine?"

Roman Gabriel of the Philadel­phia Eagles attributes his comeback

First of a SeriesEditor's Note: Because of the rapidlyclimbing level of competition intoday's sports world (both collegeand pro), the individual athlete oftenfeels an increasingly greater need tofind some form of outside stimula­tion. Starting today and continuingover the next two weeks, "Psyche­delic Sports" will examine thedifferent methods used to get that"something extra." Discussions ofhypnosis and drug-use in sports willfollow this week '8 article, whichdeals with the increasing fascinationof athletes with the Eastern cults ofmeditation. .

Times have changed, and althoughtoday's jocks are still willing to tryanything that will give them an edgeover their competition, their meth­ods are becoming quite different.For increasing numbers of athletes,the answer to their mental anxietiesappears to lie not in the fundamenta­list approach of Richardson ofSteeler quarterback Terry Bradshaw("God made me what I am today"),but rather in some form of medita­tion.

Junior Mike Kelly astutelydepicts the physical and technicalreasons for a losing record. "The­team lacks a dominant big manand a point guard. We have goodshooters, but lack the experienceto win." Some of the playersnever played high school basket­ball, almost all of those who did,did not start. Because of a lack ofexperience, Kelly feels that theteam plays "preventive basket­ball." "We think the other guysare better, so we play to pull offan upset." Team mainstays in­clude Aaron Long, Paul Chester,Brian White and Mike Brown.

Lack of pool time can onlyhurt swimmers who, no matterwhat the event, rely on theirendurance and physical condi­tioning; when a swimmer tires,technique suffers. The team isforced to use the pool at Ameri­can University, and, as seniorChris Bogdanski admits, "it is abit of an inconvenience."

At Philadelphia, the Hoyas willfield teams for a mile relay, atwo-mile relay, and a distancemedley relay. For the PrincetonRelays, the list of Georgetownentries will be expanded toinclude the shot put, a two-milerun, a sprint relay, and a milerelay.

Coach Lang expects to do agreat deal of rearranging of hisrunners during the course of theweekend's work. With times im­proving weekly, Lang is anxiousto find the best combinations fora ~nning effort. Each of therunners will be certain to see agood deal of action, however, inpreparation for the championshipswhere he will be expected to runtwo or three races a day.

A strong effort over the week­end could leave the Hoyas in anexcellent position regarding theIC4A's and the NCAA's. Unlikecross country, where qualifyingfor these events is based on stand­ings, the indoor circuit bases itsqualifications on times. Fast timesby the relay or individual runnerscould guarantee a place in thechampionships more than amonth in advance. Should thishappen, much pressure could beremoved from the tracksters, al­lowing them to continue to worktoward a late season peak over therest of the schedule.Coach John Thompson

Georgetown showing in the week­end's action, Coach Joe Lang willbe primarily concerned with theprogress his team is makingtoward a late season peak, a peakhe hopes will come about just intime for the IC4A and NCAAchampionships. Lang sees thecurrent weeks as a "crucial part of

short." Nobody can fault thatannouncement, or that the onlyregret of the squad is "that ournames weren't listed under Mr.Thompson's on that sign."

for the first time this season. GU'sdominance can best be attested toby a brief glance at the statisticswhich show the Hilltoppers outre­bounding their opponents 42-15and shooting a blistering 64.1 percent from the field.

Tomorrow night, Georgetowntakes on the challenge of Farleigh­Dickinson 8:00 pm in Mc­Donough. AI LoBaibo's squadbrings a 7·9 log into the contest,and should be an easy target asthe Hoyas now try for three in arow.

Another key factor in the gameis the return to form of teamcaptain Johathan Smith. Smith,recently hampered by a painfulhand injury, hit for 16 points anddisplayed flashes of the oldshooting touch which had causedmany to rate him as one of theoutstanding guards in the East.

Despite his hopes for a strong

squad's spokesman in defense oftheir coach. He stated "We'vecalled this conference to deal withthe words 'nigger flop'. That signwas a personal affront to everyman on this team-white andblack. We came to Georgetown toplay basketball because Mr.Thompson is the coach. I guesshe's a nigger flop because ratherthan sacrifice his principles he'sdealt with us as people, 'not'things' to be used for his ownambitious desires." -

Yeoman went on to givecountless examples of howThompson has sufCered criticismfrom ignorant "Cans," rather thansubject his players to unduehumiliation. The players feel thatthe outcries aimed at their coachhave gone unanswered longenough. With backing Crom histeammates, Yeoman natly stated"Let us caution a certain elementthat our patience is lP'owing

When I appointed JohnThompson coach nearly threeyears ago, I had full confidenceand respect for him both as acoach and a person, and nothinghas happened to change myopinion of him."

Henle further stated that thisact was the "work of a couple ofkooks. This was an absolutelydespicable act and I won't toleratethese things."

Immediately after the bannerwas discovered a search wasconducted behind the gym, withno results. Apparently, the cul­prits snuck into the gym throughthe back of stage and left beforethey could be discovered. As faras the administration is con­cerned, the matter isn't worth thepublicity that has been generated,so "the fool will not be pursued,"according to Henle.

Felix Yeoman, surrounded byhis teammates, acted as the

sity Park, the Hoyas were unablein the early going to rattle thespunky Dickinson squad, and,thanks largely to some fineoutside shooting by Dave Josephand Jim Johnson, the Red Devilswere able to make a game of it forthe first fifteen minutes.

Nonetheless, it was only amatter of time before the superiorheight and talent of the Hoyaswould take its toll, and slowly butsteadily GU began to pull awayfrom the Red Devils and, whenwith 5:42 on the clock two MikeMcDermott's free throws uppedthe lead to 32-22, the Hoyasexploded and the margin began tomultiply.

For the remainder of the half,Georgetown outscored the visitors18-6 to take a 50-28 lead into thedressing room.

The second half proved to bealmost a carbon copy of the firstas the Hoyas relentlessly con­tinued the assault. With over tenminutes left in the game, CoachThompson began to pull hisregulars to curtain call ovationsfrom the small but vocal crowd.

Thanks to overwhelming re­bounding from Billy Lynn, Hop­kins and Wilson, as well as fineshooting by Emmitt Fitzgeraldand Lynn, whose 15 second halfpoints helped him achieve gamescoring honors with 25, the Hoyaspoured it on and held 30-pluspoint leads the rest of the way.

Finally, with 1 :05 left on theclock, a twisting lay-up by DerrickJackson culminated the onslaughtas the Hoyas hit the century mark

some early litters to leave the Dickinson Red Devils smoldering in the ruins, 102-60, Wednesday night atMcDonough Arena.

Taking a quick 2-0 lead on EdHopkins short jumper, the Hoyastraded baskets with the RedDevils for the next three minutesuntil a string of four unansweredGeorgetown baskets upped theHoya lead to 12-4 with 14:09 leftin the half. From there, theoutclassed club from Carlisle, Pa.was never able to creep closerthan withIn four.

During that skein, Hopkinsscored on two easy lay-ups offbeautiful feeds from Merlin Wil­son. Hopkins was to go 8-8 fromthe field during the game, and his18 points and 12 rebounds playeda key role in bringing about theensuing rout.

"Thompson, the Nigger FlopMust Go" was the text of abanner raised during the NationalAnthem at Wednesday night'sgame against Dickinson.

In response to this racial slur,University President Henle yester­day issued a statement denounc­ing this "as the work of a coupleof bigots, and certainly does notrenect the attitude of the faculty,staff and students at GeorgetownUniversity. I regret that it hap­pened, and, as president, willcontinue to do everything withinmy power to prevent any displayof bigotry at this University.
