Changes coming

T im e fo r n ew ideas, says R ifkin

B y N IC K P A S Y A N O S i ■ ' ■ ...

Jeremy Rifkin, author, philos­

opher and activist, spoke vehe­

mently on “ Rethinking Your World View ” to approximately 60 IU P U I students and faculty at the Krannert building Friday.

As Rifkin paced, he threw brain teasers to the audience and challenged everyone to rethink their logic patterns.

Rifkin, who is founder and president o f the Washington D.C.-based “Foundation on Eco­

nomic Trends” , believes that society puts too much emphasis on efficiency.

As an example, he compared

the differences in structures o f buildings built with care and buildings built with efficiency.

He said the one built with care would last longer.

fice is now in the ‘ enthusiastic*

hands o f new acting director L il­

lian Charleston, who took office February 1,1988.

Charleston’s role, although temporary, has taken on added importance with an apparent in­

crease in fervor on the part o f the faculty and administration towards minority retention and affirm ative action.

She envisions herself and this temporary assignment as the first link in a series o f positive change.

“It’s going to have to be a domino effect,' Charleston said.

“I f I’m only hers in the acting capacity for a short time, ob­

viously I can’t make a great deal o f impact.”

time is embedded.”

Rifkin refused to stay at the podium, speak conventionally or use a microphone, deciding in­

stead to interact and discuss his theorise with the enthusiastic audience.

Often moving them to laughter, Rifkin used comedic unpredictability for emphasis, at one point demanding that every­

one hold up their hi-liter pens.

"This (hi-liters) is the crisis o f the classroom and all civilisa­

tion as we know it,” he said.

Chew gum for healthy teeth, says I.U. study

B v T H E R E S A J O Y C E planning a follow-up B y T H E R E S A J O Y C E

F r e e la n c e E d ito r Chewing gum may be better far your teeth than previously thought, and may actually reduce the amount o f plaque on your tooth enamel.

A new study from the I.U.

School o f Dentistry will show that chewing gum helps to neutralize the plaque bacteria that collects on our teeth after we eat or snack.

“With the help o f modem tech­

nology we’re able to get inside the mouth and actually see bac­

teria and how it responds,* said Dr. Kichuel L. Park, associate professor o f the Department o f Preventive Dentistry.

According to Park, with the help o f a minute sensing device, researchers are able to detect small changes in the plague bac­

teria and collect data that shows how gum chewing breaks down the bacteria.

The type o f gum you chew, however, does make a dif­

ference.

“Sugarless gum eliminates bacteria, stimulates saliva, and saliva neutralizes the bad stuff created by bacteria,* said Park.

Park added that the systems in place at the School o f Preven­

tive Dentistry help to check the different effects o f both sugar and sugarlees gums on plaque.

“W e don’t have scientific proof on the effect gum chewing has on cola drinkers, but we are testing other variables and are

planning a follow-up report,*

said Park.

“Sugared gum actually makes things worse, It’s the only food available that’s been clinically proven to increase tooth decay,*

said Dr. George Stookey, profes­

sor o f Preventive Denistry and director o f Oral Health Research Institute at I.U. School o f Dentistry.

According to Dr. Stookey, adds that form in the mouth after eating turn into plaque i f they aren’t neutralized.

‘ W e’ve found that time is an important factor in the effective­

ness of gum cheering on neutralizing adds. In other words, the sooner you chew a piece o f gum after eating, the better,* said Stookey.

He added that a similiar study was conducted at the University o f Iowa, and the difference in the two studies is that I.U.

looked at a wider variety o f foods and considered the time factor.

“W hile it may not be the most significant study coming out o f the school, it certainly is the most interesting,* said Stookey.

In a presentation scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23 in Lecture Room l i b at the School o f Dentistry, the American Association o f Dental Research will present study findings in a report titled,

“Effect o f Tim e and Duration of Gum Chewing on Plaque Aridogenicity.*

Congressm an addresses law students

L e e Hamilton

It was standing room only in ths law school last Thursday when Congressman Lae Hamilton (D-Indiana) addressed a group o f law students and faculty on the issues involved in the Iran-Contra bearing*. Hamilton, who was on the congressional investigating committee, cited two reasons for the decision to hold such hearings.

According to him, one issue was the sale of arms to Iran, when the public was told that the United States would not have dealings with a

“terrorist” nation. He said the second issue dealt with the secret diversion o f funds from such sales to Nicaragua.

Hamilton outlined some major conclusions that the investigative committee reached during and after the proceedings. He said that there was “a remarkable lack o f accountability”

among those involved.

According to Hamilton, C IA director W illiam Casey was “heavily involved,” Col. O liver North

“exercised extraordinary control,” National Security Advisor Adm. John Poindexter “had full knowledge o f North’s activities* and Presi­

dent Reagan “should have known*. As for Vice- president George Bush, Hamilton said, “the record o f the Vice-president is just not d ea r.”

“M y guess is the hearings will act as a deter­

rent. It will be a long time before a N S advisor thinks that the buck stops’ with him,” he con­

cluded.

Trustees approve 5 % housing rate increases here

During the I.U. Board o f Trustees' last day of meetings Feb. 6, Fiscal Committee members met and decided to increase IU P U I on-campus housing rates five percent

Only costs at Ball Residence, W arthin A part­

ments and the Graduate Townhouses are af­

fected by the committee decision. Rent at Shoreland Tow er* and Park Lafayette, off- campus student housing managed by the IU P U I Real Estate Department, is not affected by this particular decision.

IU P U I Housing Director David Paul said, *1 was involved in making that recommendation based on the needs to help raise funds.”

Paul said the increase would provide needed funding for rehabilitation o f buildings and equipment (including furnishings, roof and gut­

ter repair, aluminum siding and appliances) as well as reserving some funds.

Students have paid increasing yearly rate* o f four percent over the past four years, said Paul.

will be looking at annual increase*,’ he said.

He described the increase as “ pretty standard*

and added, “ I can’t think o f a year there hasn't been a rate increase.” Paul said no general funding or taxes are used for on-campus hous­

ing. ;

Housing costs at the I.U.-Bloomington campus will increase 6.1 percent, and the option o f a two-year contract will again be available for I.U.-Bloomington students. Those now livin g in dormitories under two-year contracts won’t pay rate increases next year, exemption from in ­ creases is offered during the contract’s run.

tributed to inflationary trends.

Ethical questions arise as TV covers terrorism

B y A N D R E W C A R E Y N e w s C o -e d ito r

Incidents o f terrorism ere major media events for modem networks; the ethics o f reporting such situations was just one is­

sue during last Thursday’s panel discussion on terrorism and television sponsored by the Political Science Students Asso­

ciation.

Panelists included Mike Ahem , W IS H -TV news anchor;

Dave Overton, assistant news director at W ISH -TV; Craig Hitchcock, city editor at the In- dianapolU Ntw$\ and Jim Brown, associate dean at the IU P U I School o f Journalism.

Acts o f terrorism occur in In ­ dianapolis as well as Ireland and the Middle East; panelists painted to local coverage o f the Anthony Kiritsis/Richard Hall hostage situation in 1976 and Stan Beatty's invasion o f the downtown K ing Cole building last June.

"H e (K iritsis) demanded live T V coverage, and we gave it to him,* said Ahem , who com­

mented that every phone call that Channel 8 received that night was negative.

However, view er objection was not to witnessing Hall in a life- threatening situation, but to the language used by Kiritsis.

Hitchcock pointed out one key question a responsible journalist m ust.ask is whether to report potentfmty false information.

Reporters in the print media have time to weigh the question.

But this important, delibera­

tive process is more difficult, i f not impossible, on live televi­

sion.

Hostage-taker Anthony Kiritsis demanded fkill im ­ munity, and the prosecutor's o f­

fice granted this request since

negotiations were stalled.

“Everyone knew that this wasn’t true but no one reported this. 8aving Richard H all’s life was more important than reporting the news,” Hitchcock said.

He believes that jpum alists should judge whether to cover terrorist events on a case by case basis.

'Die Iran hostage crisis fol­

lowed quickly on the heels o f H all’s release and Kiritsis’ cap­

ture.

A hem said all his fears were realised in the media response that followed. Networks and newspapers stepped in "and got cameras rolling and captured every angry face, every demonstration, every clenched fist, and brought it home,* he said.

T ele v is io n can be very pow erfu l-it’s live, instan­

taneous, satellite coverage--and at the same time it can be ex­

trem ely vulnerable for the same reasons,* A hem added.

He believes that broadcast media has recognised the spec­

trum between journalism and theater, with the camera's eye as the link between the two.

W hile still in "embryonic stages," broadcast journalists have become much more responsible in their coverage o f terrorism, A hem believes.

Ahem noted his station’s barring live coverage o f a stage situation when a third party's life is in danger. Many times, he pointed out, the rap­

port established between negotiators and the terrorist can be ruined by a careless, a l­

though accurate, remark by a reporter on the scene.

Many censure the media for reacting with “gross coverage” of an event, rather than ignoring p o licy !

Mike Ahern it. Ahem quo tad Britain Prims M inister Margaret Thatcher, who says terrorists "should be starved o f the oxygen o f pub­

licity.*

Hitchcock argues that many Southern newspapers saw Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s actions as terrorism.

Many newspapers did not pub­

lish news reports o f King's ac­

tivities, because they believed to do so "would be like pouring gas­

oline on a firs."

"Hindsight telle us that these events were newsworthy,‘ said Hitchcock.

Often, a television station can sidestep ethical questions about covering a global terrorist event by airing a national wire report o f the incident.

However, the hijacking o f T W A Flight 847 seemed to need localixation since two In­

dianapolis residents were on board.

Dave Overton said several cal­

lers to the station objected to in­

terviews o f Hoekins family members, citing this as invasion o f privacy.

Results o f Overton's public opinion poll showed that an overwhelming majority felt that the coverage was necessary and that lees coverage would have been “ disastrous.* Much o f the information given to the family by the press had not been released to them by the govern­

ment.

Brown pointed out that one problem with television news, exacerbated by the advent of the

• stellite, is viewer desire for im­

mediacy and live coverage Satellites also restrict local media's role in the editing pro­

cess, as local stations have little or no control in this process.

A h em noted that television often asks as a forum for ter­

rorist demands, but that this role is not wholly a negative one.

He commented that while the publicity may contribute to ter­

rorist activity, television also plays an important part in the release o f hostages.

As a partial remedy, Ahem proposed lim iting live coverage, while allowing reporters to edit tape to glean pertinent, newsworthy information and to supply analysis as part o f the finished segment.

A h em said a reconciliation be­

tween print and electronic media in order to better cover news events would be beneficial.

But, as each panelist noted, the competitiveness between the media is inherent, and may prove an insurmountable barrier to this union.

Lady M etro resents 'excessive' coverage

T o th e E d ito r :

W hile I very much appreciate the coverage the Sagamorr has given the Lady Metros Basket­

ball team, I would like to com­

ment on the Feb. 1,1988 issue.

In that particular issue, I was concerned about the phrase that

“ I had s tiff competition (from my fellow teammates) in the Pur­

due/ Calumet game."

I don’t believe that my team ­

mates and I are competing with one another, as we are a TE A M , and are interested in com­

plimenting one another’s play­

ing potential, rather than com­

peting against each ether.

Further, though I may have led in scoring a few times, this is not so important as m y objec­

tives for our “ team " to make a statement this year.

I would really appreciate it i f you would not center an article

so much around what I do or don’t do in a game, because I consider m yself a “team " player, not a glory seeker. I would much rather read about how we looked ns a team during our games, and have less emphasis on indi­

vidual performance.

Thanks alot for taking the lim e to consider my view.

Affirmative action needs clear message for success

Right now, most IU P U I students do not know where the Affirmative Action Office Is on campus, what Affirmative Action can offer them, and w hen to make contact with Affirmative Action staff.

Child abuse: the ' sh a tterin g ' of young minds

I thought I would begin this column a number o f ways. 1 would refer to the recent cases o f child abuse. I would recall my teaching days and the abuse cases that occasionally came to light.

I even thought o f asking a rhetorical question: what is happening to the world? But that question is asked, today, in reference to so many issues.

American child abuse, neglect, aban­

donment, however you describe it, is serious and sad. The abusive behavior to which today’s children are being sub­

jected has got to stop.

What is happening to our babies?

Hardly a day goes by that some case o f child abuse isn’t reported. In recent weeks, and in separate incidents, two little girls faced partial amputations as a result o f parental abuse. One was the result o f abandonment in freezing temperatures; another was immersed in a scalding tub o f water.

Another youngster hung him self while ho was left unsupervised in his parents’

apartment. Still another front page photo showed a father dangling his infant baby out o f a N ew York high rise apartment building.

Our children are our moat prized pos­

sessions, with their innocence, vibrant and bubbly personalities.

In fact, they are our ftiture. They will one day be running this country, and we as elderly adults may be dependent upon them for our survival. Our futures will lie in their hands.

Somehow it seems we are letting them down. In a country that promises so much to its people, aren’t we failing to realize that these are “our " little people.

The failure to create stricter laws, give stricter sentences, and what’s worst al­

lowing children to be returned to those

who do the victim ising is not protecting our youth.

Education about child abuse is a help­

ful deterrent, as is insisting that every­

one take responsibility in reporting pos­

sible abuse cases. But we can never make up for that lost innocence, nor reverse the scarring effects o f abuse on a child’s life.

Many do survive abuse. Counseling is available for children to cope with hideous experiences, but how long must our children be victim ized by thoee who should be loving and providing for them - their parents, who are essentially the

controlling force in their lives?

Along with the actual abuser, society shares the blame. Many abusers suffer

from pressure, stress and uncontrolled emotion

These symptoms can stem from any­

thing, but often arise from an inability to provide, unemployment, and basic in ­ ability to cope.

Every abuser cannot be identified All symptoms cannot be recognised before problem erupts But the hustle sn<i bustle o f everyday living can and should be controlled This world that has come to resemble a speeding bullet can bo slowed down.

One could argue, that people have to learn to* go with the flo w 1 That we have to climb aboard or be lost.

Many people aren’t fast enough to hop the train. W e’re losing them, they're suc­

cumbing to the pressure Many will be come abusers. In the same process, many o f our children will be destroyed

Recent surveys o f children revealed that many o f them were afraid we’d all die from a nuclear sxploaion. Some kind o f bomb.

Children all over the country are living with that bomb; it is set to go off at any minute and make them victims.

Many will survive and go on to live full and productive lives. Others will die at the hands o f their abuser.

Is this what we as caregivers want for this generation?

By Jon Jenkinson J Are you considering a Liberal Arts edu­

cation or beginning one? One o f the many assets offered to you through the School o f Liberal Arte is a ‘reality orientation’ to its course offerings. This orientation is field experience.

Fieldwork classes are offered through some outside agency and provide the stu­

dent with a different array o f experiences that flesh out concepts first encountered in the classroom.

When students return to the classroom after experiences like this, they can sup­

plement the professor by telling their classmates about it.

Fieldwork provides the investigator with the open setting to examine theories, methods, and ideas . . . it is a

learning experience in the depths o f an organization’s structure, an adventure into the unknown as concerns humanity.

As for m yself- a cultural anthropology student- my experiences became such an expedition into learning.

You m ight ask, *And what have you learned?"

You learn that some organizations and individuals ars more w illing to give in­

formation than others. You learn that the operations and rules o f an institution are a guise to some extent. You learn that many cultural domains, human re­

lationships abide in a single setting.

Here many frontiers exist.

You learn where to get information when the plotted source is closed. In a way, you are like a private investigator or investigative reporter. It’s a challenge.

You may ask, “W hat do you think a real field experience is like?"

I can compare it to a game o f chess.

Some aggressiveness is needed to put up

an offensive position. You learn through breakthroughs with informants and changing experiences*.

Occasionally, hard questions are neces­

sary, so you break new ground. A resear­

cher never accomplishes everything in a set manner, since the ‘other side’ always has a defense for certain types o f sensi­

tive information. Also, you will learn about your own position as an investi­

gator.

IUPUI needs ‘to bring family home’

B y A N D R E W C A R E Y N a w v C o -E d ito r

Student Body Praaidant Richard Schilling outlined lU P U r . past accom pli»hm enu and future goal* in a ad drees to the. I.U. Board o f Truateea dur­

ing iU last day o f m eetings Feb.

Schilling praised administra­

tive efforts to decrease registra­

tion time and said many stu­

dents don't realise that today's registration is more efficient than the eysUm o f yesteryear.

He also emphasised the un­

fulfilled need for a centralised campus, taking time out to note that many nationally known speakers are attracted to the 38th Street campus because o f the School o f Science.

Due to IU P U T s fragmentation, students and faculty from other schools ‘ are missing out on the

opportunity” to hear these speakers.

Si mi liar advantages are pos­

sible by b r in g in g the last m em ­ ber o f our fkmily home to the main campus,” aaid Schilling.

H ie new Arts Center erected when the Herron School o f A rt joins the main campus w ill pro­

vide sim ilar benefits.

Schilling also stated that it's sssential to build a new library before accreditation is needed again.

S ch illii^ said the library ac­

creditation team was lenient in its evaluation o f the current University Library because they were confident and believed that the library could be improved within IU P U T s 10-year con­

struction plana.

Students strong!v support the conversion o f the old library into a student center whicn would be

”a central focus point o f the campus,” aaid Schilling.

H te center would not house any student services such as registrar or burasu-'e offices but would be a place for student relaxation and activities.

Schilling suggested that the center have an area for students to nap since many students

work, have fam ily

responsibilities and fkce lengthy commutes.

Parking services to use wheel locks

ung Services knows who you are ana it's got something new up its sleeve.

Starting this month, people who accumulate enough tickets to got on the service's towing list or who park illegally may find their car immobilised by a wheel-lock.

Parking Services bought two o f the wheel-locks, which fit around a car's tire locking it in place, for use in those instances where towing the car is not pos­

sible.

“W e ll probably be using it in the garages more than any­

where else,” said John Gilbert, assistant director o f the depart­

ment.

Vans and other oversised vehicles are difficult to tow from a garage because o f the gorago’s

low ceilings. N ow the depart­

ment cun serve notice to the driver that parking in spaces reserved for the handicapped or smaller vehicles w ill not go un­

punished.

A day-glo orange notice w ill be placed on the driver's side window to warn the offender not to try to move the vehicle.

In order to have the wheel-lock removed all tickets w ill have to be paid as well aa a 110 ‘ clamp

fee.” \ > ,

The wheel-lock will ilia bo used in the open lots on newer cars or cars parksd in such a way that they cannot be towed.

“W ith the newer cars coming on line, it’s difficult to unlock them,” Gilbert said. He ex­

plained that unlocking the car is necessary to tie down the car's

wheels so the car does not fish­

tail behind the tow truck.

The department is not plan­

ning to abandon towing as an option.

“ The guy who is a habitual of­

fender and is on our tow list with a number o f tickets weYe going to continue to tow when­

ever possible,” Gilbert said.

Tow ing will also remain an op­

tion because o f the expense o f the wheel-locks, manufactured bv Tim si apse in 8t. Petersburg, Fla., which cost about 8200 apiece.

Henry Lee Summer, the cure f o r winter blues

B y R IC H A R D P R O P E S A rU / E n te rta in m e n t E d it o r Which Hoomer has released 1988*. hottest album? No, it's not John Mellencamp

Undoubtedly, the hottest a l­

bum to come out o f the Hooeier

■tate in quite a while is Henry Lee Summer's brand new CBS release H e n r y L e e S u m m er.

The album combines material from Summer’s two regional releases S ta y W ith M e and T im e fo r B ig P u n , along with some new numbers so you can totally rock your socks off.

The first single o ff the album has already entered Billboard’s Top 100 singles chart, and is showing signs o f going all the way. “Wish I had a Girl", which first appeared on the B ig P u n LP, is a bouncy, partytime tune with Summer backed by, get this, a gospel choir. Though this new version lacks the raw ener­

gy o f its predecessor, it clearly projects the all-American rock and roll image that Summer ap­

pears to be shooting at.

The video for the single, which made its world premiere at a private reception in Embassy Suites just last week, was shot on location in Los Angeles and carries on the party message with comic scene* featuring Summer lost among a sea o f sexy women.

A tune from his first L P S ta y W ith M e, “W ing Tip Shoes” has been solidified with more bass and synthesizer to give it a more

aggressive sound than the original.

Other hard-rocking singles in ­ clude “Hands on the Radio” ,

“Darlin’ D anielle Don’t* and the reminiscent “Still Bein’ Seven­

te e n *

As i f to show he’s not just a hy­

peractive rock and roller, Sum­

mer displays a refreshing honesty on “Just Another Day*, which gets m y vote far the a l­

bum’s top track. Also, “ H I Hurt for You* and * I A in ’t Cornin' Home” both are simple expres­

sions o f honest emotion.

Perhaps the best thing about this album is its simple desire to get the listener up and dancing.

This album doesn’t attempt to solve, or even c o n s id e r ^ or Id problems.

Instead, Summer chooses to sim ply let his fans get down and

have a good time.

- Another album featuring local progressive bands has recently been released. B la c k B r ittle F r is b e e features the music o f eight bands from in and around Indianapolis.

The album, recorded at Indy’s own H it City Records, is an am ­ bitious effort combining various styles o f music that has some­

thing to please everyone.

Some o f the tunes fall under the more psychedelic punk rock sound that prevailed in the 60’s.

Unfortunately, the majority o f the time these tunes lack the originality and emotion that made the sixties’ tunes such hits. This is particularly monotonous in tunes from the bands Jot Bramble Grit, and Muncie’s Modern Vending.

The offering from Datura

Philly Beef’ll Swiss.

Located at the Lincoln Hotel Food Court by IUPUI

Seeds goes o ff and on with their tunes, as does Sloppy Seconds, who are particularly strong on “ I Don’t W ant to TVke You Home T o n ig h t"

This is where the album takes a change for the better. The last two groups, Right to L eft and MikSV House, have composed songs that display an attractive­

ly balanced lyrical simplicity with a nicely varied music sound. Mike's House, in particu­

lar, combines hard-edged rock with folk roots to achieve a chill­

ing sim ilarity to a Bob Dylan duet with Laurie Anderson. All three o f their tunes are worth listening to over and over again.

This album is not going to put Indianapolis on the progressive rock map, but it is a nice effort from some up and coming bands who seldom get the chance to do much in the way o f commercial music. Despite a relatively repetitive side one, the second side definitely redeems the record in the end.

I f you’re in the mood to h it the record stores, there are several other albums you should consid­

er. Some o f the ones you should catch include:

H e a v e n , Darryl Duncan's latest Motown release, offers a romantic soul sound perfect for cuddling up to a warm fire.

T h e C u cu m b ers, their self- titled album is loaded with enthusiastic sounds from lead vocalist Deena Shoshkes.

R o c k o f L ifo , the latest from Rick 8pringfield is a surprising success that is definitely worth several dozen listens.

T h e P a la d in s , a self-titled album from Los* Loboa opening act an their last tour is filled with rock to folk to rockabilly.

It ’s also a lot o f fun.

Albums you might want to avoid include:

J u s t L ik e T h a t, a Motown release from Brown mark, who is a former bandmember o f Prince.

(Isn't everyone?);

T h e B est K is s e r in th e W o r ld from Max Eider, a pain­

fully boring release from a talented musician.

I t ’s O n ly a L o n g W ay A c ro s s , an R C A release from Pierce Turner suffers from ter­

minal lack o f talent.

Fortunately, these albums are not available in too many record stores.

Phoenix Theatre offers audience good ‘A dvice’

B y R IC H A R D P R O P E S A rts/ E n terta in m en t E d ito r With strong performancesperl from i u lead players, the Phoe­

nix Theatre production o f Bruce Bonafede’s “ A d v ic e to th e P la y e r s ," overcomes a relative­

ly lifeless script to assemble both an entertaining and in volv­

ing production.

As a bonus to the hour-long production, guest director Sandra Gay compiled a collec­

tion at poetry from such noted black artists as Nikki Giovanni, M aya Angellou, and In­

dianapolis actress Saundra Jo Holiday, who also is in the regu­

lar cast. W hile involving, this portion is simply too long, and it soon becomes apparent that this is a device being used to add time to the production.

The play deals with two South African actors who come to the U nited States to perform o f

"W a it in g F o r G o d o t” for Godot", and the resistance they meet from a group organised to boycott South Africa and its policy o f apartheid.

Stan Smith and Leon L. Jett, in the roles o f the two South A f­

rican actors, complement each other beautifully, as they go

M mw— m * _ _

Jett too is wonderAil, prim ari­

ly in his scenes with attorney Randall Moore (played by Doyle Hoggatt, who recently appeared in the IUPU1 production o f T h e B r id g e "), where he ob­

viously struggles with the deci-

■on at whether or not to per­

form.

From the lead players, how­

ever, the production began head­

ing downhill.

Doyle Hoggatt, in the role at attorney Randal) Moore, ap­

peared rather wishy-waahy throughout the first h alf dt the play, lacking any sense o f con­

front the absurdist Godot scenes to the confrontations with their adversaries.

Smith’s intensity is apparent;

his facial expression clearly defines every emotion. He is clearly a dedicated actor who

has reached a tolerance level to meeting resistance everywhere he goes. Yet, Smith also allows us to see the human, caring side o f his character which stimu­

lates our sympathy for his situa­

tion.

with his employer Em ily Ngome (played convincingly by Saundra Jo Holiday).

The real problem for the pro­

duction is Bill Lewis’ role as director John fy le r . He appears stagnant throughout the produc­

tion, at times merely a pawn through which the different sides manipulate each other.

The problem came in deciding whether or not this was inten­

tional. It was impossible to be­

lieve that ha really wanted the

8outh Africans at all.

b irecto r Sandra Gay’s guid­

ance clearly aided the h* from her use o f Is and balance on stage, to her placing the director in the audience, and her decision to have technicians on stage dur­

ing the production she provided an interesting background for

the audience. ^ a a ~

Steve Hannah's scenic design and Bryan Fonseca's lighting de­

sign were also effective through­

out the production.

Despite a distracting ap­

pearance for the director, Denise Bates’ costumes generally blended well with the mood and environment o f the play.

Overall, the Indianapolis premiero o f this play has Stan Smith and Leon L. Jett to thank for its success. It is their convic­

tion and honesty that make this a play you need to see

Have you ever waited eagerly for a m ovie to reach theatres be­

cause o f advance publicity only to be let down? I certainly have with this box office loser.

"S h e ’s H a v in g a B aby", hopefully one o f the last baby films, is a major disappointment compared to preview clips. And Kevin Bacon, a normally well- liked and respected actor, turns in the barest excuse for acting.

Sinking the film completely are the unimpressive skills o f Elizabeth McGovern as the blua- shing bride and hopeful mother.

Perhaps she forgot what movie she was starring in since she just continues the character she portrayed in "B e d ro o m W in d o w " with Steve Gutten- berg: a dizzy brunette fluff. She fluctuates from a totally

uninteresting bride to an apathetic, whining newlywed.

Someone, either the director or the w riter, couldn't seem to de­

cide whether they wanted a comedy about young love and marriage or a documentary on the woes o f husbanding.

Let’s just say the movie settles around Bacon, like a middle-age paunch, and poor McGovern stumbles in occasionally (o r it might seem that way due to her acting.)

Bacon dislikes his in-laws. He fantasizes about an attractive model and is unable to eettle down to his marriage or ad job

(which according to the movie he bumbled into !

There art some laughs in this movie (notably the hilarious scene when Bacon imagines his neighbors in a musical song and dance as they cut their grass.)

Bacon relates the story o f his marriage to the audience in a monotone ( I think they were trying to achieve the same effect Nicolas Cage used in "R a is in g A r iz o n a " but with considerab­

ly less success and no humor value.)

It’s just that it’s so long be­

tween them that the theatre armrest might invite you tt.

snooze a bit while waiting.

Have I mentioned a baby?

Perhaps because no baby is mentioned in “S h e's H a v in g a B a b y " until three quarters o f the way through the film. They should’ve called this one "H e 's H a v in g a F a n ta s y ."

Here's the baby p lo t- a bored McGovern, who apparently has just endured five years o f mar- nags without a job, wants to be fulfilled bv having a child.

She decides in a m ildly fiinny but drawn out scene, to stop tak ing the pill, all the while she contemplates the sink with a birth control pill in hand and hubby prepares for bedroom frolics.

The movie ends with actual maternity shots o f someone and a tear-jerker ending I won’t spoil.

It almost makes the movie worth something; but not the price o f admission.
