JSGA trims budget

BY JOE PASTORINEWS CONTRIBUTOR

Faced with a deficit of up to$28,000, the Student GovernmentAssociation Legislature ap-proved a budget reductionproposal that will cut the deficitalmost in half.

The proposal, which wasdesigned by Accounting MajorRepresentative Chris Simoes inconjunction with SGA Co-Treasurer Mark Anders, will cutmoney from accounts withestimated budgets.

Among the affected will beservice-oriented clubs, including%he Student Activities Program-ming Boarr* and WPSC radiostation, as well as two studentservices —. Gerald Brennan. thecampus attorney, and the SexualHealth Care Clinic.

According to Simoes, theseprograms were cut because they

do not receive specific amountsof money from the budget, butonly a percentage, so theseaccounts are estimated,

"The onesfrthat were not cut,1Simoes said, "were the ones thatwere budgeted for an exactamount."

Anders said that the cuts haveto be made in order for the SGA toshow fiscal responsibility eventhough he regrets having to cutthe money.

"No one wants to see anyonelose money, butifwedon'thave itto give, we just can't," he added.

However, the bulk of the cutswill come out of the SGA's inneroffios. "We (the SGA) are takingthe brunt of the cuts inside theoffice so that clubs would nothave to take as big a cut," saidAnders.

WPSC's cable h9okup to theTowers' Residence is on its wayto becoming a reality. Each roomof the dorms will be capable ofreceiving WFSC in stereo, inaddition to several other cable-TV extras in the near future. Thehookup procedure has, however,encountered delays in itsprogress.

According to John Kiernan,faculty advisor to WPSC, allnecessary equipment has beenpurchased and is waiting .to beinstalled "WeVe all ready fromour end here," he said

Ed Veasey, director of facilitiesand maintenance, explained thata purchase order had to beapproved. before the outsidecontractor could proceed with theinstallation. Veasey expressedthat this approval should beforthcoming within the next twoweeks.

The weather could also play arole in the progress of the work. Ifthe temperature should dropbelow freezing again, the diggingto install the underground cablecould be delayed further.

Tom Lancaster from WPSCexpressed great enthusiasm forthe cable project and its potentialfor enhancing television viewing

for WPC residents. He pointed putthat the cabling could lead to livebroadcasts from Shea Audi-torium directly to the dormssometime in the near future. Inaddition, many college-oriented,community, local and nationalbroadcasts could be received bydorm residents. "Its a prettysophist icated use of thetechnology that e x i s t s . "Lancaster was quick to add thatthe. system would have to bethoroughly tested after theinstallation to insure goodreception. =» *•

Lancaster stated that the cablehookup was "a simple job" andthat "this whole thing with(college) autonomy is what it'sabout" when questioned aboutthe delay in installing the cable.Every proposal has to beapproved by Trenton before thenext step can be taken in asituation such as this. If thecollege had autonomy, the needfor approval would be confinedwithin the college.

Tom Russo, opera t ionsmanager of WPSC, stated that thedelay was "just the usual redtape" of any action conductedwithia the college. Lancasteragreed that the paperworkrequired contributed to the delay,out that it was not an unusuallyhigh amount for an action of thisnature.

State aid increasingBY ANDREW OGILVTE

Trenton responded to theproposed financial aid cutsrecently, warning that "morethan half the students from NewJersey who now receive federalloans would lose their eligibilityor have their loans cut severely."

Edward TJioll ander. chan-cellor of higher education,predicted "The GuaranteedStudent Loan program would beso seriously undermined that 60percent of the students who nowreceive loans would lose theireligibility, even though those

; students currently demonstrate: need."i President Reagan recently• proposed reductions in Guaran-r teed Student Loans (GSL), which

would deny loans to students andtheir families with adjusted

: family incomesof $32,500,i eliminate grants, work-study

Letters to the Editor

It's not over yet!There has been a lot of coverage lately concerning

the possibility of the Department of HigherEducation abandoning jurisdiction over thetraining of new teachers. The Star-Ledger reportedthat the teacher education courses might beelimin&ed completely as "prospective teachers optfor the new 'alternate route' that requires no-formatcollege-based teacher training."

However, at this point, the information thenewspapers have reported, according to Dean JoanTetens of the school of education, is speculative andunattributed. Tetens remains -unconvinced, at thispoint, that the state will abandon training newteachers.

She is also not convinced that the "alternate plan"will have a severe impact on the school ofeducation. She argues that prospective teacherswould rather earn their credentials at collegeswhere they could earn a baccalaureate degree aswell.

At this point, no one knows where the school ofeducation is going. All we do know is that there willbe changes. >

Victimized hy psychic4rutaiityEditfar, The Beacon,

I was appalled at the actions ofthe WPC Police, the WaynePolice,. and Al Haig's secretservice-thugs on the night of theHaig lecture. At the beginning ofthe night the venerable LiJackson ipld one of the leaders of

• the demonstration that they (thedemonstrators) would bepermitted in the Student Centeras long as they conductedthemselves in an orderly fashionand did not disrupt Haig's press

, conference. The demonstratorsagreed to Jackson's terms.Everything werit fine until 15 to20 minutes before Haig wasscheduled to return to the StudentCenter. It was at that point thatsome of the demonstrators (whoare Students of WPC and payStudent fees) were not permitted!to enter the Student Center to go]to their office to put away some]posters, sigtss-ahd a drum. Thiswas an a abomination. It was adirect infringment of Students'rights and was a contradiction towhat Lt. jj&ckson had promisednot two hours before It was onlyafter pleading with all of theGestapo mentioned above thatthree Students of WPC, who weremembers x>f the StudentMobilization Committee, werepermitted to go to their officeunder heavy police escort to putaway their protesting materials.It was discovered that none of themembers had the key and wouldnot be permitted into the StudentCenter again. When one of theS.M.C. members-went to use thebathroom, he was followed in andwatched by one of the policeofficers. The Student requestedthe officer to wait outside thebathroom and the officer refused.If this is not psychic brutalitythen what is?

To further complicate matters,the police changed the rules onthe helpless demonstrators againby not allowing them to stand infront of the Student Center andthe demonstrators were force-fully pushed to the side and theWPC Police, Wayne Police andHaig's secret servants sur-rounded the demonstrators. Atthis point there were 12demonstrators and iato 15armedsecurity and police people. For ashort time, the demonstratorswere not permitted to go anyfurther outside the StudentCenter than the cops would allowand when the demonstrators triedto leave, they were threatened bythe less than friendly securityagents with the butts of theirnight, sticks. 7*his stick actibnwas totally inappropriatebecause the only weapons thatthe demonstrators had were their"Anti-Haig Slogans and theirquick wits. After a demonstratorwas prodded by one of the cop'sjoysticks, cooler cop-headsprevailed and the demonstratorswere permitted to leave the areaand assemble elsewhere on thecampus. It is also prffferesting tonote that when one of thedemonstrators asked and thenbegged with security to enter theStudent Center because he had togo the bathroom, he was deniedand was told that if he "Relieved"himself outside on campus that

he would be arrpsted for indecentexDosure. The/two alternativeswe're: To hold it in or go offcampus to use a bathroom.Ridiculous, isn ' t i t? Thatdemonstrator is a Student of thiscollege. He had the right to gointo the Student Center and hewas denied,

I would not be too surprised iflaw suits were filed against theWPC security and the WaynePolice on the basis that theyheavily infringedon the rights ofthe Students as Students and alsothe basic human r i g h t sguaranteed by the Constitution ofthe United States. Finally, forabout an hour to an hour and ahalf, the Student Center was not aStudent Center, but a policecenter and the demonstrators.

who were all Students of WPC,were not permitted to enter evenon a non-demonstration basis.When asked why the demon-strators were not permitted intothe Student Center, security said,"Because we-say so." This isAmerica and not £1 Salvador. Ithought this kind of behavior OQthe part of the police onlyhappened in total i tar iansocieties. Worst of all, the policeare supposed to.protect us frommurderers and criminals and OQthe night of Haig's lecture, thepolice were protecting the wrongperson.

Disappointed with SGAEditor, The Beacon,

Recently, I had the opportunityto observe a meeting of the SGALegislature. Quite frankly, I wasdisgusted with what I saw — abody of' students treating animportant duty J » ^ a socialouting. - ^ S

In order to clarifyToy point, Iwould like to present a fewexamples of /the behavior of thestudents present.1. .While reading a letter of

resignation from a Legislator,SGA President Bob Hopkinsproceeded to chide and belittlethe contents of the lett er, whilehis fellow SGA memberslaughed athis antics. To beginwith, this showed greatimmaturity on the part of Mr.Hopkins. It also displayed alack of consideration for theauthor of the letter. Above all,it was simply very poordecorum for the president of astudent government.

2. When voting on a request forover $1,000, and another foralmost $3,000, many . boardmembers abstained or votedno without ever venturing toask questions. In addition,when the vote on the $1,000

" proposal had to be retakenbecause of amiscount, severalmembers changed their votes.I realize it is the right of everymember to vote as he or shepleases, but I feel that if thesemembers were that unsure oftheir opinion, they shouldhave spoken up.

3. During the meeting, memberspassed notes to one another,twirled pens, looked out thewindow, ate and giggled. When

members of the student bodyspoke to the^LegisSature, itaqgeared that many of 'the

• Legislators were simplyuninterested. These were the"*1

same people who vJWi no,abstained or even worse, votedyes on expenditures of up to$3,000. ..._: :_

The SGA has control of around3300,000 of student money eachyear. It is frightening to see thatso many of them care so littleabout how it is spent;

At this point, I would like tomention that not all of the SGAmembers behaved in the samemanner. Although I disagreedwith most of what he had to say, Ifelt Co-Treasurer Mark Anderswas well-prepared and con-cerned for the student body.There were also a few otherlegislators who seemed con-cerned and responsible.Unfortunately, I do not knowtheir names, (perhaps if I hadfulfilled my responsibility toknow my student government, Iwould).

Self-government is a privilegethat was won by the sweat andblood of the students who camebefore us. It is' upsetting to see"such a precioiip and hard-won,right held in such blatantdisregard. I believe that we areall responsible for this. Iencourage all students to try andattend at least one meeting of theSGA in the hope that, undercloser scrutiny, the members ofthe SGA will take theirresponsiblity more seriously in ]the future. ;

Editor, The Beacon,I am writing as a concerned

resident of the WPC campus inregard • to the letter, "Moreparking problems," from Feb. 18.1 feel that this anonymous personmust be educated on the facts ofwhy residents must park their

, cars as close to where they resideas possible.

To start, many residents havegjone through the heartache (nottomeation the financial stress) ofhaving their cars vandalized orstolen. I had $800 worth of stereoequipment stolen out of my carplus damage to the interior.Secondly, the security in all ofthe parking lots except Lot 7 isabsolutely atrocious. I feel thatmaking residents park furtherAway - will' only increase thesethefts which mostly happen atnight. This is due to the lack ofsecurity accept, of course, in themorning when they're busygiving parking tickets.

I can understand and sympa-thize with all commuters, but Ifeel the solutions lie elsewhere.

Many solutions have beenattempted, such as videosurveillance, and were totalfailures. My 'solution to theparking dilemma would beadvantageous to both residentsand commuters Mike. I suggestthat Lot 7 be turned into residentparking by moving the faculty toLot 2, This would free manyspaces in Lot 5 for commuters.

I hope to see some assertiveaction taken soon.

Editor, The Beacon,, The Beacon ha.s recentlyprinted two letters suggestingWPC residents forego the use of

. Parking Lots 2 and 5 and restrict1 themselvestoLotSforthebenefit

of commuters, at least during thefirst half of the day when theparking situation is worst

I sympathize with commutersas rye been one here- WPC'sinadequate pairing has become arunning gag, though one of darkhumor. I don't, however, seesubordinating campus residentsto Lot 6; during any period of

, time, as a fair solution to the' problem.

Assuming campus residentshave a lesser seed of their cars iss simplistic, false assumption.Many residents, work andparticipate in other activitiesthat require transportation.

Also, the inadequacy ofimmediate parking spaoe neartjhe apartments for unloading

groceries, furnishings andpassengers {five spaces for twobuildings) necessitates the use ofLot 2.

I'd like to add that Lot 2 isdesignated ( idealist ic ally)Dormitory Parking — with asign. Commuters should becomfortable with the knowledge

that I have no intention ofstarting a movement to banishcommuters to Lot 6.

Gary GraftResident

Senior, EconomicsEditor, The Beacon,

Here is another letter in regardto the parking situation. I don'tthink,it would be ah improve-ment to have the dorm studentsmove their carsto Lot 6. There arepeople who use their cars fortransportation to and from after-school jobs and/or otherpersonal business. As a femalestudent, I would not feel safewalking through, that area alone.If the dorm students must parkthere, security should beincreased. Also, the number ofconvenient parking spaces forfaculty and staff greatlyoutnumber the spaces forstudents. Recently, a number ofspaces in the already limited Lot5 were sectioned off as reserved. Idon't think this is fair either. Noone wants to park in Lot 6. It'sridiculous to park so far from aplace you can't even see. For thepeople who do park there, shuttlebiases should be made available.then no one would be late forclass, have to walk in badweather or unnecessarily riskbeing a victim of a crime. Sure itwill cost money, but it will bemoney well spent. Leave' thedorm students where they are.

Gallery offers view of past landscapesBY TRACY KORTELING

ARTS CONTKI3UT0R

An exhibit of 19th eeniuryAmerican landscape paintings,sponsored by the New JerseyCouncil for the Arts, will run inthe Ben Shafan Gallery untilMarch 23. Nancy Eiremhofer.director of Ben Shahn Gallery.stated, "If anything, the exhibitshould shock students merely byshowing them how different thisimmediate area looked just 150years ago." ^.

The oil paintings, c.1850, g&rictthe then wild and untouchedPomp ton Falls near the HamburgTurnpike in Wayne (now behindMaroon Pontiac). the Little Fallsof Little Falls, the' forests ofMontclair, the Passaic River atthe intersection of River Roadand Outwater Lance in Hacken-

sack (now graced by a Dunkin'Donuts). Garret Mountain andthe Great Falls of Paterson priorto the industrialization of thatarea. Chimney Rock of SomersetCounty before tee invention ofthe aerosol ~an and many otherspots familiar to WPC students.

N'ot cohesive school "existedamong American iandscapists inthe earlier part of the 19thcentury. Most of the painterswere commissioned by membersof the newly rising leisure classof Americans who had benefitedfrom newly Won independenceand economic growth. Greatlytraversed, as well as a popularvacation, spot between the twoleading artistic centers ofAmerica. New Jersey affordedartists with a subject'to depict asnot only aesthically beautiful.

but also as a representation ofswelling national pride in theRomantic tradition of Europe.

The first major painter ofAmerican landscapes wasThomas Cole, founder of theHudson River School In 1819, atp.ge 18, he practically convincedhis parents to .move fromEngland to Philadelphia for thesole reason of his desire to paintAmerican landscapes! Hisoriginal paintings are at BenShahn. They characteristicallyportray a singular outstandinglandmark framed in theforeground by a jagged branch orsome minutely detailed rocks. AnIndian, or "savage," is alsousually present in the foregroundstanding complacent among theextensive beauty around him.

.The- death of Cole 'in 1840produced a change in the HudsonRiver SchooL Asher B. Durandbecame the new master ofAmerican landscape, portrayinga'more reserved appreciation ofnature and linking it "withfaithfulness to God His lack ofstress on minute realism turnedthe commonplace into thesublime, typical of the newlydeveloping philosophical schoolof American Transcendentalism.

Jasper Cropsey was the firstpainter to enter colotiial man andhis occupations into Americanlandscapes. After intensivestudy of mechanical drawing,Cropsey took up painting in theea r ly 184 0s, pL-acing animportance on the dailyactivities of man as theyincorporated more and moremachinery ted techno logical

advancements. This was quite achange from the celebration ofAm arica'4jn»*gg^ * beauty asportra5*d^bV'dole just 10 yearsearlier. ' *

By the close of the Civil War in1865, America had capitulatedinto a major industrial nation.Absorbing the shock andconfusion of rapidly advancingtechnology and science, theAmerican Iandscapists did notreact as their contemporaries,the French impressionists, with &radical scattering of line andforms. Instead, the Americansbecame concerned with manipu-lating light and perspective,deeming themselves "Lumia-ists." Neverthless. the painting"fiad become an expression of the

Breakfast Club: a teen-age Big Chill?BY SICK TOMA •

STAFF WRITER

Only a few weeks ago. duringone of those •"inside Hollywood"programs on cable. It wasreported that John Hughes" new'5m was being.dubbed as the teen-age Big Chill. True. The

'Breakfast Club 'deals with agroup of people who. due tounfortunate circumstances, must^gather for a period of time. Thesimilarity ends there.

While The Big Chill spelled arediscovery of old friends, valuesand memories. Brealcfast Clublooks at a much younger groupon a journey the first timearound, before going throughdivorce or Vietnam. The fivestudents, a prom queen, a jock, aburnout, a brain and a recklessloner, have all been sentenced toan 8-hour Saturday detention inthe school's library. The group isordered by a self-centered,egotistical proctor to write anessay of 1.000 words explainingwho (or better yet what) they are.The teacher leaves the room —the essays are ignored.

Most directors would nowsettle for vague flashbackscontaining the life histories ofthe characters with sillyexplanations of how they endedup in detention, but Hughes usesthis opportunity to get inside the

REJB., the db*s, and a host ofDiner bands are looking back atthe '60s and '70s and are comingup with more than Cadillacs inswimming pools and 20-minuteguitar solos. -Unlike many of thecool critics who findit chic to tearat any music produced between65 and "75, these bands take themusic they grew up with andapply it to their own styles.As for Fogerty, who is proof

that what goes 'round comesround, it's about time, too. After>ars of legal hassles with

Creedence's old label. FantasyRecords, he has come out with an

album that, if it weren't for theclean recording and occasionalelectronic drums, would soundpeculiarly similar to much ofCreedenee's material.

If only one positive thing couldbe s a i d / about CreedeuceClearwater Revival (which is farfrom the case), it would be that,unlike many bands of their day,their music was never dependentupon the time in which it wascreated. They were like bluejeans or flannel shirts —unpretentious — something youwould wear at home. SinceFogerty was the principal, sting-writer, singer and lead guitaristof the group,1 it is only naturalthat his solo albums should alsopossess this quality."Ceqterfield," the title cut,though somewhat autobio-graphical (Put me 'in, coach/I'mready to play today), is aboutexactly what one may gatherfrom the title — baseball.

After 10 years, Fogerty returns wHh Centerfield

Hanging out for a decade andplaying with different musicalideas has apparently enabledFogerty to perfect the one-man-band approach to recording. Withmany musicians' attempts atcompletely solo albums' (SteveWfowood comes to mind), thefinal product often soundsexactly as it was produced: tracklaid upon tracklaidupontrack, Afeeling of spontaneity is oftenlost; there are no mistakes,dammit!

Poets to highlight this spring's speaker seriesBY DENNIS OliLANDDvJI

ARTS CONTRIBUTOR'

Readings by two award-winning, original poets of theirsorks afid a program on famedNew Jersey poet, William CarlosWilliams, will highlight thissemester's speaker series,beginning March 7, an Englishdepartment spokespersonmnounced last week.Assistant Professor of English,

Dr. Stephen Hahn said hisdepartment, co-sponsoring theseries with the English Club andUse School of Hum&nitites,wanted to do something differentthis semester.•We've decided to feature

wtively working, original poetsihi& spring to shake up studentlatitudes and biases about poetry.& selecting these particularpoets, who have written about

contemporarythemes, wehopeto^demonstrate that poetry doesn'thave tc beold, dusty aria abstract,but that it can be lively, strongand real," said Dr. Hahn. .-

The first reading of .contempo-rary poetry will be g i*n at 4p jn.io Student Center 332-333.Featured will be NicholasKolumban, 1885 recipient of agrant from the New Jersey ArtsCouncil. Kolumban came toAmerica at age 14 as a refugeefrom the Hungarian Uprising of1956. Much of Kolumban's workdescribes the culture shock feltby immigrants and their gradualassimilation into. American

society.Sam Hamill, speaking at 3:30

on May 7in SC 333-333, will visitWPC in the midst of a nationalpoetry reading tour. The authorof six books of poetry.his latest is

titled Animae. A native of thestate of Washington, his subjectmatter frequently deals with theland and people of the PacificNorthwest, specifically focusingon stories springing from tberegion's racial and culturaldiversity. *

The w>rk of one of NewJersey's leading men of letters ofthe Twentieth Century, WilliamCarlos Williams, will bediscussed April 4 at 3:30 p.m.(location to be announced).Professor Peter Schmidt ofSwathmore College, editor of theWilliam Carlos WilliamsReviewr will give a lecture andslide presentation entitled"Williams And The Visual Arts."

Williams' poetry is describedby Owiary commentators as"independent of trends" and"characteristically American."Williams frequently wrote about

his native.state in such works asthe short story, "Life Along ThePassaic River," and the epicpoem, "Paterson."

The series will premiere March7 at 3:30 pjn. in White Hall. E-Lounge, with "Trans-AtlantieCrossings: John Keats ~ andWilliam Faulkner." The speakerswill be Dr. Hahn and Dr. DonaldDuclos, also of WPC's Englishdepartment.

Dr. Hahn is completing his firstyear at WPC having taughtpreviously at Rutgers Uni-versity. The March 7 topic is oneof his favorite areas of academicinterest: how British Romanticpoets, such as Keats, influenced

later American writers; likeFaulkner. The author of severalpublished literary essays, he iswriting a book of criticism onKeats' work.

Dr. Duclos is a recognizedauthority on Faulkner's workand family history.

The English departmentstresses that the spring lectureseries is freetoallstudentsandisgeared toward the generalstudent population. Its aim is toencourage an appreciation ofliterature among students of allacademic backgrounds. Thesponsors urge all students toattend. FhU.s in English are notrequired!

Graduate assistantships can pay offBT DENNIS ORLANDINI

FEATVHE COVmiBUTOR

You could .help finance your.crad school education by•{•applying for a graduate^assistantship. A graduateYassistantsnip can pay for your-^education, provide invaluableVprofessiosal experience, and getJtyou trough grad school fast!}' In a typical arrangement, the-J* assistant works for academic"(department about 20 hours per£week. The extent of his duties"rdepend -upon the department.^"Assist ant ships vary from^laboratory research 10 library•^research, clerical work and^running a copying machine to'/(running a radio station, coaching•^athletes to tutoringor counseling.-^students, directing surveys to.X directing TV programs, andV taking dorm students' com-j£plaints as a residence hall^assistant to teaching a class as a^ h i assistant.

In exchange for these labors,the grad assistant receives astipend. The size varies greatlyfrom school to school and at mostschools, 100 percent of tuitioncosts are waived

To put this in perspective, ifyou receive a $3,000 yearlystipend, add your savings fromthe waived tuition, say 30 creditsat $100 psr credit for anadditional 83,000, an assistant-ship becomes a $6,000 educa-tional bargain.

Graduate assistants on campusthink that the experience ofworking for a graduated^artment, making contactsin their ~ fields and gettingexperience within their disci-plines is invaluable to theirprofessional development.

However, their unanimousanswer to the question "Can youlive on your stipend?" was aresounding "No!" Though theterms of assistantship contractsforbid outside work, this

stipulation is largely ignored.Most assistants need outsideincome to make ends meet, so thevery real prospect of having tolive a frugal life of just scrapingby f inancial ly should beemphasized to all would-begraduate assistants.

Here are some other pitfalls tobe aware of before applying for agraduate assistantship.* Winter is the time of year to

apply for most assistantships.To be - accepted for a gradassistant position you have todo everything a regular gradschool applicant must do(send GRE scores, transcripts,letters of recommendation,etc.) but you must do it early.It's already too late for someschools, but April 1 is thecutoff date for most schools.

Althoughsome schools acceptnew grad assistants for anysemester/quarter, othersaccept grad assistants onlyonce per year — at the start ofthe academic y e a r inSeptember.Some grad assistantships canbe obtained for only one yearand can't be renewed.Peterson's Guide to GraduateSchools is a good place tobegin researching assistant-ships. Schools are listed underacademic programs, and theguide lists the number ofassistantships each schoolhas available. Write to theschools you're interested infor details about duties,stipends and tuition waivers.Not all schools waive theentire tuition; they may onlywaive a percentage.

the binge-purge syndrome.Linda was part of a 12-member-

group fox people with eiatingdisorders.

Bulimics are not all alike.Linda didn't purge (force herselfto vomit what she ate.) She used. enemas^diet pills and fasting to

keep her weight down. She tried aliquid vomit inducer also. Lindawas a few pounds overweight.

Pat (a pseudonym) was verygood at purging. "I began to havedifficulty swallowing anything.It would automatically comeup. Ifeared going to relatives for

dinner. I was -always makingexcuses-to go to the bathroom.

Pat, 5'9?, 103 lbs., tried to helpherself by cooking tier husbandand herself nutritious meals. Butsrhe en ded up cooking three timesas much as she needed, theneating and purging 'most of itbefore dinnertime.

"My husband thought I lookedemaciated and later told me befought back tears when we madelove."'

One of Pat's major" break-throughs" occurred when shebroke her scale. She hadbeen weighing hers elf more thanfive times in one day.

Lynn and Sally were room- .mates.

"I knew I had about an hour toprocrastinate But as the timewent by, it because harder andharder to vomit" Lynn said.

SaQy could not purge. She usedlaxatives and fasted but stUlr e m a i n e d a few p o u n d s-overweight

Lynn and Sally planned bingestogether.

"If we had just hinged and afriend ca^neover, I'd monopolizethe conversation so Lynn couldgo vomit" Sally said, "Otherwiseshe'd squirm in her chair,constantly check her-watch, and

get real SDOtty."Through group counseling

these women found reasons fortheir unhealthy behavior andresolutions for problems withintheir lives.

It took one sweet too many forLinda to seek help. "I woke uppnemorning and immediately ate adonut. Then I tried to take a hotshower,, but almost fainted. I hadeaten three packages of cookiesthe night before." -. I was frightened and finally

went to a doctor who suggested apsychologist"

She added, "At that time in mylife, my greatest fantasy was tohave a room to myself,'constantly filled with food, whereI could live and eat until death."

It took.Linda one and one-halfyears of -group and privatecounseling to-free herself fromobsessive eating patterns and anegative attitude.

As_ awareness of this problemincreases, more and more peoplewith eating disorders are seekinghelp.

Some things did not change.For the second time in two weeks,.T.J.Lewis hit abaseline jumper tobeat Trenton State, 48-45. tin twoovertimes and gave the Pioneerstheir third straight NJSAC title,.becoming the first team in.conference history to win* threebasketball fctles in succession.

L»wis hit the baseline jumperwi$j 19 seconds to give WPC theleS»at 46-45, erasing the Trentonlead given to them on a foul shotirosn Prince Bannister. Bannistermade the front-end of a one-and-cne, but missed the second. ThePioneers then ran the same playthat best the Lions a week ago,

"They came out and showed usthe.same thing that they playedlast time, so we ran the sameplay," said WPC head coach JohnAdams. "JJ. had been open fromthat spot all night long, so we ranthat play."

Lewis knew that play would bethe game-winner, making thecomment while coming out of thetime-out huddle that he wouldfind his favorite spot and nail thegame-, winner.

"It was the same play as before,and I was confident it wouldwork." Lewis said. "Gino(Morales) and I have a thinggoing with game*winning plays;we work on them in practicetogether."

Morales" pass to Lewis in thecorner was the sophomoreguard's only assist of theevening, but the sophomore hasbeen exceptional down thestretch run for xhe Pioneers.

"Beth Gino and Andy (King)have been doing a great job for us.providing leadership and controlon the court, the past few games."said Adams. "Gino provides uswith more control at the point,while Andy gives us outstandingperimeter shooting."

The Pioneers iced the gamewith four seconds left in thesecond overtime when Lewis hittwo foul shots to give thePioneers a three-point lead.Lewis was fouled grabbing therebound following a RayMcAdams" blocked shot. TerryPolsitz of Trenton was open fora15-foot corner' jump shot, butMcAdams' block thwarted theeffort to take the lead.

-Did you see how high Ray(McAdams) was when he blockedthat shot?." asked Adams. "'When

Andy King drives towards the hoop lor two more points.f h d WPU t T t ' lPo Inaiz, let go of the ball I figured

there would be no way Ray couldget there. But we just kept goingup and up and then his arm wentup. He must have been five feet inthe air when he blocked thatshot."

Lewis then sank the two foulshots, redeeming himself aftermissing two in regulation thatcould have put the game on ice forthe Pioneers.

"No. I wasn't worried aboutmaking the foul shots." Lewissaid. "When I missed the two inthe second halt it was because Iwas a little over-confident. I waspumped, and the crowd got megoing and I threw both up a littlelong.

'This time I just relaxed andconcentrated on what I had to do."he continued. "I just wanted tomake the first one so we have atleast a tie. Then after that onewent in, I wanted to hit the secondto make sure we didn't have toworry a bo ut wh at they didcorning down the court"

The Pioneers may not have hadthe opportunity for Lewis toperform his heroics if it was notforKing'splay. The senior guardhad 10 points, including a buzzerbeating lay-up, in theTirst hallfor the Pioneers. King stole aBannister pass with fivs secondsleft yid drove for a layup at the

buzzer as WPU cut 'fronton's leadto 32-39 at the half. Instead ofbeing down by five, or possiblyseven, they trailed by three andhad the momentum goingintothesecond half.

The way the Pioneers startedthe second half, though, youcouldn't have told.

The Pioneers scored the firsteight points of the second half.four by Don Forster. to take a 37-32 lead Trenton broke the streakwith 13:54 remaining in the halfon a Bannister basket

The strategy took over. ThePioneers pulled the ball out with10:42 remaining in the game andproceeded to run off nearly sevenminu tes . King broke thescoreless spell with a layup with3:51 remaining.

"It wasn't a stall," Adams saio."We went three guards and toldour guys to run our "Special"offense when they came out andplayed us man-to-man. But theywanted no part of that at all.Maybe if we had been up by five,or if they weren't in foul trouble *they would have come out. I don'tknow. We had a hunch they didn'twant to pi ay us man. and we wereright"

Trenton cut the lead to 43-40 olia Jim Collins basket Morales,who finished with eight points,increased the lead to 44-40 while

the score 44-42 following aMorales turnover, and thePioneers* troubles began fromthe foul line.

Lewis missed two foul shotwith 1:35 left and McAdamsmissed the front end of a one-and-one with 41 seconds left.

"We had guys who aregood foulshooters on .the line at the end."

1 Adams said "They just didn'thitthe shots. I guess we'll be at theline in practice on Monday."

Trenton State star AnthonyBowman, who finished with 13points, hit a 10-foot jump shot tosend the game into overtime. Hisbasket came with 17 secondsremaining in the game.

The WPC Ice Hockey teamcame up with one of their biggestefforts of the season last Sundayin tying Metropolitan Confer-ence, Garden Division rivalsOcean County College 1-1 at theMootclair Ice Arena, and keptUieir playoff hopes alive.

Despite the fact that thepioneers have yet to win a gameontlie ice, they have received fiveforfeit wins and have tied fourgames, including their last two,for a record of 5-8-4. With onegame left against the SUNY—Stony Brook a tough' EmpireDivision opponent, the team washoping to gain a playoff spot witha victory.

In last Sunday's game, thePioneers received an early goalby Rich Beces, his first of theseason and outplayed theBricktown school,fox the firsthalf, before the Vikings, whodefeated the Pioneers 12-1 in thefirst game of the season, turnedon the pressure. The Vikings tiedthe game with four minutesremaining and- threatening to •pull ahead, but Pioneer goalieErnie Fcrd made some impres-sive saves to'help the WPC gainthat important point in the^standings.

Fans celebrate after 98-45 victory

Co-coach Joe Magliaro, who•had'8 goals in the first half of the'84 season before" taking thecoaching position, was im-pressed with the improved play.Earlier in the season, he hadpredicted that this season wouldnot be a typical WPC season andhe was justvhoping that the teamwould eventual ly becomestronger. The tie with OceanCounty College, in comparisonrtotheir first meeting of the seasonillustrates just how far, thePioneers .have come. ^ v

here at WPC"This had been the best group of

fans in my ten years at WPC."said men's head basketball coachJohn Adams. 'They have beenabsolutely fantastic."

What's going on here? Peoplepraising the fans of WPC? Peoplesaying what a great thing ishappening on this campus?People praising the amount ofemotion and interest the campusis showing? Can this be WPC?

Well, it is. and thanks to arecent winning streak £nd theforming of a new fan group, thecrowds at the recent WPC men'sbasketball fames have beenphenomenal — not in size, mindyou, but in spirit They have beenrowdy, entertaining and fun. Butmost of all they have beenspirited.«

"It is a fact of college life,"Adams stated. "Something whichmore of our people should takeadvantage ot There are somecol leges where tickets tobasketball games are impossibleto come by. where you may never

" get to see your college play£ infour years, which is a shame.

t"It is a great physical and_ psychological release for_ students,";he continued. "What isbest about it is it is also fun.'*

A lack of crowd emotion can bea killer, especially during thetough grinds of a regular season.Adams wishes that more fanswould come out during theregular season.

"The regular season is a longhaul, and thereare certain nightswhen it is almostimpossibleto beup for #a game," Adams said."That is when the fans are reallyimportant. If they start making awhole lot of noise, it pumps youup and--gets you going It canreally make a difference."

If they can make a difference bynot being there, how much of adifference can they make whilethey are there? A big differenceand in many different ways.

Wednesday night in the Rec.Center was a prime example.Fans with faces painted orangeand black, screamingatthetopoftheir lungs, helped create aboisterous Pioneer crowd. Whenthe Pioneers made a run at theJersey City 10-point lead in thesecond half, the support theyreceived helped push them overthe top. "

On Friday, close to 200 people,including three busloads ofstudents and staff, travelled toTrenton State to watch thePioneers take on the Lions in theconference championship game.The amount was triple thenumber that watched a weekearlier as the Pioneers endedTrenton's bid to become the firstteam to go through theconference unbeaten. Adams'reaction to the fans after thegame, which saw the Pioneerswin their third straight'game,was great.

"They were super," he stated."Coming down on the bus theplayers knew they had threebusloads of people coming downand more coming by car. It helpedpump them up. During the game Ithink our crowd got us going,--which in turn quieted Trenton'scrowd and got ours going thatmuclrtouder."

"What makes it so importantthis time of the year, when teamsare so close in talent, is that thevariables will win games,"Adams continued. "Breaks,injuries, a bad call by a referee,foul shooting and the crowd andemotion can all play" a factor ingames, and when you have agroup of crazy people screamingfor you it helps. It alsointimidates the opposition whenyou rgake a lot of noise in theirgym, which, we did tonight."

"I really have to praise our fanstonight." the coach stated. "200outyelled 1,000."

The players are also aware ofwhat is going on in the stands. J. J.Lewis, the Pioneers' man in theclutch, gave a quick reaction tothe WPC fans.

"Tell them I love them," Lewissaid.

"What makes it so important,"Adams concluded," is that we area part of them, they are a part ofus. We are them, they are us."

Sounds rather nice, doesn't it?

But he prefer being at home?"Yes," said Adams.

BT DENNIS ORLANDINISPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Clowning around at poolisdewith teammates as practicebegan one afternoon last week,Joe Gentile didn't appear to betaking it seriously enough to be aworld-class swimmer. Bute aspractice heated up, he began toput his game face on. Incompetition, he's another person— pureopncentration. AttheNew"Jersey State Athletic Conferencemen's swimming championshipslast week, it was easy to see whyGentile has captured many ofWPC's swimming records andfour NCAA Division m titles.

The 1985 divisional champion-ships will hold a specialchallenge for the 24-year-oldPlainfield resident Gentile is atjfo-time Division III champion

-In the 50-yard freestyle event. Heis a former division record-holder in the 100-yard freestyleand also has a 200-yard freestyletitle to his credit However,during the 1984 championships.Gentile had gone to Florida totrain with former U.S. Olympiccoach Jack Ne l son . Theupcoming Division III champi-onships to be held March 21-23 inAtlanta will give Gentile thechance to regain his titles.

Like m a n y modern-day-,athletes, television was thecatalyst that sparked Gentile'sathletic career. At age 12, Gentilewas inspired by Mark Spitz'ssensational performance in the1972 Summer Olympics .Immediately, Gentile knewcompetitive swimming was

something he had to try. B/fuasophomore year at St. Joseph'sHigh School in Metuchen,Gentile had dropped all othersports to concentrate onswimming. Upon graduation in1978, Gentile's story divergedfrom that of most collegeathletes. ' .

Unsure of his career direction,Gentile went to work, first as ashipping clerk. While keeping incompetitive form by swimmingfor amateur teams. Gentile heldavariety of jobs over a three yearperiod. Looking back on thatexperience, he termed those jobs"unfulfiliing, but they served apurpose — they made me aim forsomething better."

Looking for a college oisubstantial size, "But," saidGentile, "Not so big that you'dfeel like a number," ,he choseWPC, beginning studies in thefall of 1981. Soon after arrivingon campus. Gentile developed aninterest in stage production andTV camera work. Studyingtheater and communication, hehopes to work in TV sportsproduction after his graduationin 1986. He has set his sights on ajob with a TV station thissummer tb make some contactsin the industry and to finance hisfinal year at WPC.

The Pioneer men's swimmingteam severely felt Gentile'sabsence when he went to train inFlorida last season. Their recordplunged to well below .500 thatyear, but rebounded to asparkling 12-2 this season uponGentile's return. Coach Ed Gurkasaid he locked forward to havinghis star on the team for one moreseason and added, "The '84Olympics have proved thatswimmers are able to peak at amuch later age than waspreviously thought possible,"indicating that Gentile's bestraces may still be ahead of him.

In addition to his role as WPC'soutstanding swimmer. Gentileacts much like an older brotherand unofficial coach to hisyounger teammates. An astute:student of swimming technique^it doesn't take Gentile long tospot a flaw in a teammate's form.Most swimmers are. quick toadopt his suggestions.
