Furnture was broken and employees were threatened. "I looked at the damge and saw that some of the students had no respect for and the letter of the law. Unfortunately for the rest of us, when rule volatons are allowed to become commonplace, the resultng problems wll only contnue because new students are nfluenced mostly by what s done, not what s wrtten or sad.

Collegan: When there are alumn or parents on campus (Homecomng, Par ents' Weekend, ReunonCommence ment Weekend, etc.), are any other polces nstrumented? Do the same rules apply to vstors as to students? Edwards: Good queston. I know that efforts are currently beng made to man tan the College's alcohol rules durng specal occasons on campus.

Ths can only be good Many here at Kenyon are unhapp, wth our edtoral crtcal of Jerry ln and the Faculty Lectureshps schedule We knew ths would be the case but, do have problems wth what has beegon g on. We do not beleve we shoul,avocontroversy. There s one ssue rased n that edto ral whch may need clarfcaton. Th our reference to the poltcal ve s Page Two COMMENTARY October 8, An atttude problem We are ncreasngly concerned about what we perceve to be an atttude problem on the part of some Securty offcers. Whle we do not thnk that these ndvdual ncdents represent the otherwse hgh qualty of the department, the effect of these ncdents s detrmental to the general mpresson of Securty. Consder the followng examples: Students n Watson dormtory are beng dened the use of the parkng area behnd the dorm, despte the avalablty of over thrty parkng slots. On a partcular mornng ths week, only nne cars were parked n the lot, over half (and possbly all) of them student cars. The staff parks n the front of the dorm. Yet, for some ncomprehensble reason(s), those students must park elsewhere, where avalablty (to say nothng of convenence) s scarce. Securty has also decded, under the guse of safety, to restrct any cars from usng the South end on weekend nghts. Roadblocks are erected, and a Securty offcer s assgned to stand n front of t. Senor Scott Ford was not even allowed to delver some luggage to hs room n Hanna, though he estmated that the trp would have taken a total of three to fve mnutes. Ths s certanly one of the most foolsh, and costly (what does an offcer make an hour?) measures that securty has devsed snce the old telephone plan. Where does securty thnk we are, New York? Holdng everyone gulty for the acts of only certan ndvduals s unfar and shortsghte d. We thnk a better dea would be to post no parkng sgns, and, f the problem stll exsts, to hre a tow truck and haul a few cars away. If tckets do not deter students, a hefty towng bll would, and the problem would dsappear quckly. Both those measures reflect a change from prevous years. But the change further extends to the offcers themselves, as Securty and ts personnel are becomng more strct, and less responsve to the needs of the student body; a general attttude that s napproprate to the atmosphere of Kenyon. In one deplorable ncdent, a student, who had severely spraned an ankle and was therefore unable to walk, called Securty and asked for a rde from the North end to the South end. The student would not have called had not the Deans told that student n Orentaton that Securty was avalable for such thngs. Securty's ntal response was, "Do you know the number of the Mount Vernon cab?" When the offcer dd arrve, he proceeded to make fun of the student by hobblng down the hall and the stars behnd the student, refusng to offer help. Needless to say, the actons of that one offcer have runed the mpresson of Securty that our spraned ankle frend held, and negated numerous postve encounters between students and Securty. It s no wonder that Securty s not looked on favorably by students. Offcers do not have the rapport wth students that they once had. To help ntate such a rapport, and to establsh a better form of communcaton between the communty and securty, securty has proposed the formaton of a commttee composed of students and faculty. We fully endorse ths dea, and hope that t wll be mplemented quckly.

Board responds to accusatons about Gamber Journal To the Edtor: The Gamber Journal feels t necessary to respond to the letter and column wrtten on the Journal n the most recent Collegan. When we took over responsblty for publshng the Journal, we felt some changes were needed to make the paper a more mportant part of lfe here at Kenyon. One way we set out to do ths was to make the Journal more readable. Artcles were shortened and more was wrtten on student lfe. Our frst ssue had artcles on Exeter, John Crowe Ransom and Jack Fnefrock that let our readers know more about Kenyon and the students here. But we also beleved that for the Journal to promote dscusson here on campus, t needed to be an open forum for student and faculty vews on poltcal and campus ssues. As edtors, we do not pretend to be neutral, nor do we thnk that our neutralty would be best for Kenyon. If no one wll ever rase ther voce n dssent, then where wll the mpetus for postve change come from? In regard to the letter wrtten by Jm Wess, hs general complant that our deology dffers from hs s based on hs nterpretaton of two small areas clearly dentfed as our opnon. Mr. Wess's mstake there les n hs confuson over the dfference between edtoral opnon and ssue presentaton. It s our belef that as a forum for ntellectual dscusson we should not allow our edtoral vewpont to spll over nto any sectons we do not clearly dentfy as such. Therefore, even though we are "decdedly unmpressed" wth Mare Cuomo, ths dd not prevent us from devotng more than half a page to a speech by hm n our secton on relgon and poltcs. In fact, f one closely examnes that secton, one wll notce a wde varety of vewponts wth the lberal vew beng amply represented n speeches by Cuomo, John F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy. Mr. Wess beleves that The Gamber Journal "should not have a vewpont." We dsagree. Instead, we beleve that edtoral opnon should be heard n an attempt to encourage debate and n ths we have been successful. We are pleased wth the reacton to our frst ssue. We rased some ssues that are mportant and already we have Nobody cares about anythng To the Edtor: I take pen n hand to wrte of somethng that I care about: the fact that nobody cares about anythng. I have lately been exposed to some of the most mltant apathy on the part of students, parents, and the country as a whole than t has ever before been my dspleasure to wtness. Student responds to attack on Journal To the Edtor: employee I feel, as a member of the Kenyon communty and as a twoye ar of Mr. Doug Heuck's orgnal Gamber Journal, that last week's attack on the Journal by Mr. Wess s not only unfounded, but actually amazng n lght of hs complants. Mr. Wess speaks of mpartalty. As I understand the stuaton, the parts of the paper whch Mr. Wess found offensve were part of the edtoral secton of the newspaper (whch ncludes the column "The News Rghtly Seen"). He clams that the Journal should be a forum for vews and ndeed, t was just that. If Mr. Wess would lke to change hs accusaton to the fact that the Journal dsagreed wth hs own poltcal vews, then the Journal may, I feel, plead gulty wth no sense of shame. In a broader ven, when s a newspaper ever totally mpartal? I beleve that Mr. Wess would be hardpresse d to fnd such a paper n the compettve news market. I suggest that f he wshes to enjoy a totally unbased publcaton, he mght pck up a copy of Hka at the bookstore. As to hs comments on the slantedness of the paper, I notced, to my delght, that the Journal publshed lvely vews from both sdes of the poltcal spectrum, unless perhaps Mssrs. Kennedy and Cuomo have slpped nto the "New Rght" wthout my notce n whch case I must concede the pont. I am sorry that Mr. Wess dd not enjoy hs paper I suggest he does not subscrbe. As for myself, keep up the good work Journal, and bless the rght of opnon. Sncerely, J. Scott Ford The fact frst struck me n a recent Socology class. The topc of dscusson was Democracy n Amerca as t compares to a lberal deal model. The queston was rased, "Is Amerca democratc (accordng to ths model)?" Admttedly, there were rfts between the deal and the real, but there were smlartes as well. But none of the students spoke up. As nstgaton, the professor changed the queston. "Amerca s not democratc. Any arguments?" None were offered. "Fne. We all admt that Amerca s not democratc." I decded to take up the cause at ths pont, and to argue n favor of Amerca... a country to whch I feel lttle loyalty, ndeed a country whch I crtcze regularly. What amazed me was that n a group of mddle class whte Amercan college students, there was no one wllng to defend the Amercan verson of Democracy. Do they not beleve n t? Then why do they lve under t, quetly? Are they too stupd to speak eloquently? Certanly not... some of these students are among the most ntellgent people I've met. So why ddn't they defend the country n whch they lve? I can only attrbute t to apathy. They don't feel strongly enough about t to analyze t. They don't know why they lve as they do, and they haven't the tme to queston t. They don't know what they beleve. And who can blame them? When ffteen mnutes of a vcepresdent al debate s spent dscussng whch canddate pad more taxes, whch has a chauffer, whch has a better accountant... who bloody cares? These people are runnng for the second hghest poltcal offce n the country, and we want to know how much money they wasted on candy for the kds last year. Sure, the V.P. does nothng, but sn't there somethng else worth dscussng? How about the presdental debates? I spoke to a group of graduate school professors that evenng and got, "Mondal e looked good," "Reagan looked tred," "Reagan was nervous." I asked, "What dd they say about defense?," and got, "Beats me, I wasn't lstenng." WHAT IS THIS! We have to decde, as a naton, whom we want to lead us for the next four years, and we're gong see APATHY page wponts of femnsts and gays. The por we were tryng to make was not that a! femnsts and gays are leftsts, just h. those nvted to speak at Kenyon th year are. Our goal s to provde an arng r all arguments, regardless of whether: agree wth them or not. It s mporta: that all sdes of an ssue be presented the dscusson s to be balanced. We are stll workng to reach fe deals we have set for ourselves, andu; thnk we have made a pretty good star We are lookng forward to a very goj year and we encourage all to wrter wth ther ponts of vew.

4 October 8, 984 Is there a 'Crackdown 9 By Mark Clark and Peter McFadden for The Gamber Journal In preparng lo wrte ths artcle, we talked to many students to make vews expressed here not just our have,),e own, but rather a more general percepton of the student body. What we found out was that many students are unhappy wth the current stuaton and are hopng that thngs wll get better and not worse. There has been much debate on campus on whether there actually s a crackdown on partes or not. Everyone seems to agree that Securty s more aggressve ths year than t has been n the past. Some say, though, that ths does not consttute a crackdown but rather just mproved enforcement of exstng rules. We beleve that, whether one calls t a crackdown or not, the fact remans that there s a defnte percepton among students that there s less leeway ths year than there has been n past years. There are several explanatons for ths percep ton among the student body. One reason may be poor communcaton between the deans responsble for student lfe and the student body. To the students, there appears to be an nconsstency concernng the rules and ther enforcement as compared to prevous years. Ths year has brought what many regard as an abrupt change n school polcy. Students need to know w hat consttutes acceptable behavor n order to make responsble judgements concernng the rules. The deans deny that there has been any change n school polcy. If poor communcaton s part of the problem, then better communcaton wll go a long way towards resolvng the ssue. Why not have an open forum n Rosse Hall where the deans can explan ther polces and answer questons and complants from students? Student Councl mght seem to be an approprate sponsor of such a forum. We beleve also, however, that poor communcaton s only part of the problem. There are many students on campus who are n socal trouble who should never be n such trouble. Ths stuaton suggests that there s somethng wrong wth the rules as they are currently consttuted or the way they are enforced.!f students actng responsbly get n trouble for havng a spontaneous party on a Saturday nght, when the only thng Columnst Robert Novak to speak Next Wednesday, October 24th, at 8 pm, the Student Lectureshp commttee wll present journalst Robert Novak. Mr. Novak wll be speakng about the 984 Presdental Electons and how he vews the choces and ssues surroundng the hotly contested campagn. Mr. Novak s a natonally syndcated columnst for the Feld Newspaper Syndcate, and hs column appears most notably n the Washngton Post. He s the author and coauth or of several mportant books on Amercan poltcs. The nclude Nxon n the Whte House: The Frustraton of Power and The Reagan Revoluton. Ol MORL TRY.'

Issues of Pnntontnn" wrong wth the party s that no permt was obtaned, then we beleve that the rules or the way they are enforced need to be revewed. If the only reason we have a rule regulatng student partes s to prevent dsturbances to other students, then when a party s dsturbng no one, why should t be broken up by Securty and ts sponsors brought n to see the deans? When partyng students are dsturbng other students, and they persst to be a bother after they are warned, then we understand the need for a rule that wll allow Securty to break up the party. But such a rule should not be enforced when a party s orderly and dsturbng no one. To upperclass students, ths seems to be the prevous sprt n whch the rules were enforced. Ths wll allow students actng lke adults the freedom that they deserve to act n such a manner. One recent event that seems to have caused wdespread consternaton among the students was the IFC pcnc where the band NRBQ played. In our opnon, ths was an nstance where the polcy needs to be reworked. The reason the deans have gven for why beer was dsallowed at that pcnc was that t occurred hours before rush was to begn, and accordng to rush rules, fraterntes may not serve beer to freshmen untl rush begns. In an attempt at farness, t was decded that snce fraterntes could not serve beer, nether could ndependents. The unformed securty guards that several students descrbed as "omnpresent" at the pcnc dampened what should have been a more relaxed and festve atmosphere. If the problem was that rush began after the pcnc, the answer to us seems smple: begn rush wth the begnnng of the pcnc. Ths would avod the problems assocated wth ths year's IFC pcnc. We beleve that more communcaton and dscusson of the ssues wll help the socal lfe on ths campus. Kenyon's strength has been that t has treated ts students lke adults. We would lke to see ths tradton contnue. aemw OTIMG HIMSELF ID NTEfT THE 0UTRWM& Of RENEWED CRNBtoS... EDUCATIONAL at Kenyon Bv Dean Thomas F.dwards socall ed Few persons realze the magntude of problems that can develop at Kenyon from the use of alcohol. Most students don't. They consder drnkng to be a normal and respectable actvty that offers fun, good feelngs and convvalty. I, on the other hand, vew student drnkng less enthusastcally, manly because t really scares me. These conflctng vews, of course, help establsh the ageol d tensons students wantng more freedoms and deans requestng more restrctons. But I wrte ths n sncere hope that such tensons wll not prevent us from workng together to help lmt excessve drnkng. We all know that t s the abuse of alcohol that causes the problems. Those of us who must deal wth those problems have good reason to be concerned. In fact, I become lterally scared every tme my phone rngs at nght when the College s n sesson. Understand that I have been nvolved wth the aftermath of at least 9 Kenyon student deaths on or nearby the campus. All were caused by alcohol. We have had dozens of serous accdents here, many resultng n permanent njures, and many hundreds that were less serous. Drnkng has also caused ncdents on campus that have ended collegate careers, damaged reputatons and brought the loss of selfrespe ct, fnances and property. It was wth such memores n mnd that I read the ptable lead edtoral n the October 2 ssue of The Camber Journal. The column whned about an alleged "crackdown" that "mposes ncreasng restrctons on how we (students) may party." I thought, of course, about those nevtable tenson's that arse between the "authortes" and the "oppressed." But, then, I also thought about those 65 "restrcted" kegs of beer (a keg holds 5': gallons or 200 twelveounc e cups) that were beng consumed by fraternty partes durng that weekend. How helpful t would have been, I concluded.f that edtoral wrter had nstead urged the party hosts to place a curb on excessve drnkng, or at least, addressed the sensbleness of restrant. It s my fervent hope that more students wll come to see the mportance of workng wth, not aganst, College staff members n recognzng the serousness of our problems wth alcohol. Together we mght be more able to dentfy and reduce some of the exstng hghrs k drnkng practces. I can thnk of no better way to help preserve the ndvdual freedoms we all chersh.

All my brothers ded at brth (ths s the I700's. remember) I grew up, went to Happy Hll College, and was ordaned llegally shortly afterwards. I then chose to make my resdence n London, where I studed speed readng and musc apprecaton, knowng these subjects would be valuable on long voyages. I also began wndsurfng serously, because I had always wanted to travel and wndsurfng was the cheapest way. It was at ths tme that I marred Mrs. Mary Pope, the wfe of my best frend Wllam, wth whom I receved Cubs season tckets and a case of mported laxatves as dowry. I set out to sea on my weddng day. leavng my wfe n the lmo outsde the church. I proceeded southeast on my wndsurfer, and soon found (through careful navgaton) that I was hopelessly lost. I then decded to read all the authors, both ancent and modern, whle tryng to work on my tan. Whle readng Descartes, however, I became so confused and preoccuped that I rolled off of my wndsurfer, fndng myself floatng lstlessly on the ocean. Backstrokn g east, I soon caught sght of a small fshng craft and flagged t down. As t came closer I could dstngush several men on deck, and was soon greeted by (who else but, Lo and Behold!) Descartes' brother, Don the fsherman, he refused to take me on board because of legal reasons, but agreed to have a heated dscusson of scence and phlosophy wth me before I swam off. We talked for about an hour, fnally agreeng that a scentfc revoluton s okay f you're dressed for t. I was gettng tred of treadng water, so I swam off wth a bottle of gn that Don had gven me, prayng that I would fnd my wndsurfer. I fnally gave up. I decded to smply drnk all of the gn and leave my fate to the sea, whch I dd n a very cvlzed manner. I woke up wth a poundng headache, layng on a grassy surface, my hands ted behnd my back wth steel chans. My head was held down by a large metal bracket, and the rest of my body was secured to the ground by endless strands of dental floss. I felt a hot chll all over my body, and soon realzed that I was covered wth some sort of jelly. After what seemed to be about 5 mnutes, I heard a small voce n my rght ear. Soon the head bracket was loosened, and I was able to turn my head. I beheld of group of about 30 small, humanlke creatures, each about 3 nches hgh, standng on a heap of dsheveled beer cans near my head. They dressed n baggy green suts and caps, and all wore drty spectacles on ther tny heads. Ther most astoundng features, however, were ther hands, whch were large and completely out of proporton wth ther bodes (each had beng about an nch n length). On ther hands they wore transparent rubber covers on every forefnger, and also had ample supples of them n small pouches on ther belts. They stood and examned me closely for several mnutes, untl fnally one of them spoke to me n Englsh (ths saved a lot of tme; I ddn't have to waste tme learnng ther stupd language); "Do you have Blue Cross or Blue Sheld?" I was somewhat confused by ths, but t was to get worse. "Where s your wndsurfer?" he asked, "We want to sell t for parts." I was, to say the least, completely baffled by these strange creatures and ther rdculous questons, but my apprehenson grew as I felt somethng tuggng at my hp, tryng to turn me over onto my stomach. I yelled at the top of my lungs and shook volently n an attempt to escape, but the tny green men succeeded n turnng me over. I then felt a forceful tuggng at my bathng sut, and as they pulled t down below my knees (n spte of my loud protests) I suddenly realzed that I had awakened on an sland nhabted by no cvlzed creatures other than perverted proctologsts. I then fell nto a swoon (passed out). I awoke n a hosptal room, qute confused and completely out of touch wth everythng. My vson was blurry, and the sounds of the hosptal fuzzy and dstorted; I had a gut feelng that I had been thoroughly examned. Ths angered me consderably, and beng that I was not ted down I ran out nto the hallway. Encounterng no opposton, I proceeded out nto the street and towards the nearest phone booth. The street was full of tny proctologsts, scramblng n every drecton to avod my deadly footfalls. I fnally sezed one of them and demanded that he tell me where I was. He quckly told me that I was n the land of the Anusans, on the sland of Laxtf. I cast hm unto the earth, and began to ponder my stuaton. Here I was; my travels had brought me to an sland nhabted by crazed proctologsts, who had examned me wthout my consent. What would Descartes do n ths stuaton?? Then t ht me: I suppose I could have stayed around and analyzed ther government, descrbed ther customs and vrtues, and become an honor ary ctzen of Laxatf. But what the hell??

Wrtten by Beckett n the late 950's, the one person play s about an Englshman who wants to be a wrter. The character has constructed a phlosophy towards lfe whch he has followed for the past thrty years. Every year, on hs brthday, he makes a tape of hs deas, thoughts and phlosophes, and fnally, on hs sxtynnt h brthday, he fnds he has nothng to say. Ths s the pont that the play deals wth, yet through the playng of hs old tapes we are able to see nto ths man's past, and better understand hs dlemma. Thus the tapes offer a unque way to brdge tme and con V t, 'I. Pepe preps Madoff for openng struct a character out of past and present. The queston that arses s what s a man supposed to do when he realzes hs lfe phlosophy has led hm to a dead end? Under the drecton of Pepe, Madoff wll play the frustrated wrter.

Ths s not the most volent flm wth only two deaths, but the tenson s mmense as only Htchcock can create t.

As wth other cult classcs, the flm takes farly absurd subject materal, n ths case show busness, and parodes t to the pont where t almost reaches belevablty. The Producers s logcally enough, about a producer (Mostel) of unsuccessful Broadway plays. He enlsts the help of a thumbsuckn g accountan (Wlder) to help hm seduce lttle old lades who wll fnance hs newest play, Sprngtme for Htler.

It documents the early lfe of a true rebel fghtng aganst the accepted establshment n England. The flm centers around the lfe of the man character, played by Courtena;. who s confned n a juvenle prson for theft. Here he takes up longdstance runnng. Much of the move s a seres of crosscut s and flashbacks as Courtenay runs through felds thnkng of hs past. These thoughts tell much about the runner as a person, and prepare the audence for a dramatc endng. Courtenay's actng s the hghlght of the flm, leavng the flm goer wth compasson and understandng towards ths poor, young Englshman.

Ths meet was made up of Dvson. II. and III schools and so there were onetw o. ro races run, the frst beng the Dvson I race and the second consstng of the schools from Dvson II and III. Kenyon, partcpatng n the latter, fnshed thrd out of seventeen teams competng. Malone and Oberln went n the race. Ths meet turned out to be the best to date for the Lades as ther thrd place ) fnsh was the hghest fnsh ever for a women's cross county team at Kenyon. Ths race was the most compettve for team as a whole wth the top seven r fnshers runnng close together and the hole team gave ther best effort of the season. Renee Pannebaker came n frst for the Lades and the two great " freshmen runners Krsten Hess and Prscll Perott fnshed second and thrd respectvely. Hess, who ran a 9:22 for I the 5,000 meters, ran the best ever for ' a freshman at Kenyon. a Spkers get aggressve, wn By Ann Daves The women's volleyball team played only two games ths week, facng Lake we College and Baldwn Wallace at Late Ere. They snapped ther 0ga 0" V "wguerte Bruce Perott, who s always mprovng, once agan cut her tme down and s provng to be one of the teams most mportant members. Bea Huste came n fourth for Kenyon and Jennfer Raymond fnshed just behnd her. Lbby Brggs, who was runnng n the J.V. race, fnshed well enough to earn sxth place n the varsty race and Lynn Remer rounded out Kenyon's top seven. The course at Bowlng Green was "very unusual," as Coach Gomez descrbed t. He sad, "The course was loopng and somewhat confusng so a lot of runners were bumpng nto each other and because of the course the tmes wll be somewhat deceptve." Coach Gomez had nothng but prase for the team: "It was ther best effort of the year and I thnk they are some of the strongest runners n Dvson III." He also feels that, "We stll have a ways to go, but we're on our way." The team begns taperng ths week so the tmes wll get better. The last meet for the conference s net Saturday at Denson. The awards that were gven to Kenyon runners were three plaques for ther thrd place fnsh, wth all the team members recevng awards , losng streak by hammerng Lake Ere, 5 8, 5 6.

"We were also a lttle more aggressve n attackng and httng," she remarked. Later n the evenng Kenyon fell to Baldwn Wallace, 5. The match was closer than the scores ndcate. Marguerte Bruce and Sarah Stvers were blockng so effectvely that the opposton was forced to change ther attack. Instead of httng straghton, the Yellow Jackets began to ht offspe ed around the Lades' blocks. Unfortunately, ths proved effectve aganst Kenyon. Ten Foumer, Margaret Slver and Stvers were the spkers' top scorers for the nght. The Lades took the weekend off as they prepared for ther leagueopen tonght. er "I thnk the kds are psyched," Wetbrecht commented.

Feld hockey squares record By Darryl Shankle By wnnng two of three home games last week, the Kenyon Lades feld hockey. 66 team evened ther record at The Lades crushed Muskngum College 3 0, 7 0, lost to Kent State Unversty 2 and beat 0. Oberln College In the frst half aganst Muskngum, Kenyon outshot the Muskes 36 6 but managed just two goals. The second half was domnated by Kenyon's defense, whch allowed only two shots on goal compared to the Lades' 9. Freshmen Catln Long went on a rampage by scorng three goals n the frst 5 mnutes of the second half. Sophomore Harret Stern added two more scores to go along wth her frst half goal. Sophomore Chrs Fahey, scored the other frst half goal, the frst of her career. "We clearly domnated play but we were sluggsh n the frst half and were not httng the ball wth authorty. The second half we came to lfe and scored fve tmes n the frst 25 mnutes," commented Coach Sandy Moore. Last Saturday, Kent State brought to Kenyon a very good Dvson I team. Even though the Lades were outshot 23 9, they played excellently untl Kent scored two goals n the last fve mnutes of the frst half. The Golden Flashes later added an nsurance goal n the openng fve mnutes of the second half. Moore remarked, "Kent State s an outstandng Dvson I school, and I felt L Matt Lampe carres the ball for the Lords... Kckers lose on bad call By Carre Martn The men's soccer team experenced a devastatng 0 loss last Tuesday when they played aganst Wlmngton College. The Lords were psyched up for the game, especally snce ther opponents were ranked 4th n the country. But unfortunately, t just wasn't Kenyon's day. Wlmngton's lone goal was off of a free kck awarded to them by the referee for a Kenyon penalty. Coach Venne ll dsputed the penalty call but to no aval. It was not untl later, after the game, that the offcal apologzed for hs msnterpreted call leadng to the penalty. Asde from that ncdent, Venne ll felt the Lords "played a super game aganst the Wlmngton team, who showed better control of the ball." On Saturday the Lords headed to Pennsylvana to play Allegheny College, who had a seven game wnnng streak. It was a long trp out, but one whch proved well worth t. Kenyon won the game 2 0. The begnnng of the game was domnated by Allegheny, who had an aggressve style of play as well as beng a very fast and strong team. But t ddn't take long before the Lords were able to adjust and begn playng better soccer. By the mddle of the frst half sophomore Jeff Destefano scored a goal makng t 0 Senor Karl Schmdt made the second we played well aganst them. The score doesn't reflect that qualty of play as we had several chances to score but couldn't captalze. They took advantage of a defensve lapse n the last fve mnutes of the frst half and scored two quck goals whch made the dfference." After the Kent game on Saturday, the Lades played NCAC foe Oberln and defeated them for the second tme ths season. The wn upped the Lades' conference record to 4 3. After a scoreless frst half, junor Penn e Whte got the Lades on the scoreboard wth a goal, and two mnutes later Carol Poston asssted Harret Stem for a score. For the game, Kenyon outsh ot Oberln "I thnk that we were a bt tred from the KSU game and were frustrated by the superb goaltendng of the Oberln goale.

Ther Football squad By Lawrence Paolucc The Kenyon Lords suffered a dsappontng 37 7 defeat last Saturday at the hands of ther arch rval Denson Unversty. Ths was the frst meetng between these old tradtonal rvals n ffteen years, rvals who are two of the fnest goal n the mddle of the second half. Destefano, on the rght sde of the feld kcked the ball across the feld at whch pont Schmdt dove and headed t nto the goal. As Vennell later commented, "It was a beautful, really super goal." Freshman John Lysaker had a good game, savng a total of ten shots on goal. Vennell felt, "The team played well. And senor captan Pat Grant contnues to play superb soccer." The men tangle wth Oho Northern on Homecomng Weekend. Harrers lack By Mary Ellen Kosanke Inconsstency s the major problem faced by the men's cross country team as the season draws to a close wth onlv two meets remanng. The men have the skll, potental and tranng to do well at the Conference meet n two weeks. However, they must overcome the obstacle of nconsstency. At the AllOh o meet last Frday half the team ran well and half the team ddn't, accordng to Coach Gomez. Due to the sze of the meet, offcal team scores and ndvdual places were not yet avalable. Unoffcally, however, of the approxmately 40 schools present Kenyon placed 29th. The top runners for the Lords were senor Dave Breg wth a tme of 28:09, freshman Scott McKssock wth a 28:38, junor Laurence Cooper n 28:55, and senor Steve SPORTS Page Fve wth two wns goale made 9 saves, many of whch were spectacular," reflected Moore on her team's play. Moore named the Offensve Players of the Week as Catln Long and Gretchen McGowan. Long was especally effectve versus Muskngum as she pulled a hat trck. McGowan led the team n shots on goal for the week wth 8. The Defensve Players of the Week were Wendy Reeder and Amy Bowser. By blockng many of the oppostons' passes, these two players constantly harassed and frustrated Muskngum, Kent, and Oberln. Kenyon traveled to arch rval Denson on Tuesday. On Saturday, the Lades return home for ther last two regular season games aganst Ashland College at 0:00 a.m. and Maretta College at 2:30 p.m. If you haven't seen the Lades n acton yet, tme s runnng out! falls to DU teams n the NCAC ths year. The Lords, 4 2, now could mount only one successful drve offensvely, and had troubles all afternoon tryng to stop the potent snglewn g offense of Denson, the second best offense n Dvson III. The problem wth the Lords' offense was agan turnovers. The Lords' potent passng attack, headed by quarterback Dan Pantc, fell on hard tmes, sufferng fve nterceptons, whch were all converted nto Denson scores. Denson started fast aganst the Lords. On ther frst possesson, the Bg Red ground attack came rght at the Lords' defense, movng the ball from ther own 5 to the Kenyon 0. An Adam Davdson sack, on a key thrd down and eght play, forced Denson to settle for a feld goal and a 3 0 lead. Kenyon's frst drve foreshadowed the offensve dffculty the Lords would experence all afternoon. On ths ntal drve the Lords moved effectvely from ther own 28 to the Denson 28 before an ntercepton halted the drve. After ths the Lords dd show some sgns of lfe when they scored wth 0:5 left n the half on the strenght of Todd Stoner's 2 yard touchdown recepton. Ths gave the Lords a 7 3 lead. The lead was short lved, though, for wth 35 seconds left n the half, Denson countered wth a touchdown of ther own to take the lead 0 7. From ths pont forward the game was domnated by Denson. In the second half, the powerful Denson offense converted four costly Kenyon nterceptons nto 27 unanswered ponts aganst a weary Lords defense.

Coach Gomez commented that consstency was the major problem facng the Lords. "The team has no consstency yet ths year. We need to get that for the next two weeks. If all the Varsty runners run well we can do well n the Conference. If they run lke they have been we won't. We can place fourth or last dependng on ther consstency. It's gong to be a mental battle."

Consderng the complexty of the problem, however, I beleve the College does a farly good job of keepng the standards nonstudeof nt socal events equvalent to those that are expected from students, partcularly on matters related to socal comportment and legal lablty. Collegan: What s the Admnstraton's lablty f a student s njured whle ntoxcated at a College event? Edwards: I can't gve a specfc answer to your queston because t s far too general. Even f you would cte a partcular case I probably stll would be unable to gve a defnte answer because lablty s a hghly complex and problematc topc. Ths s why there are lawyers and courts. sbltes for admnsterng socal, safety and welfare programs for student are n an especally hghrs k category for beng sued. Also, t's lttle comfort to know that the courts have found that the charge of neglgence s as applcable for falure of a college offcal to have taken acton as t s for hm or her to have acted mproperly. Back to your queston about an ntoxcated student beng njured on campus. The College's lablty, as well as that of ts offcers, wll ultmately be determned by a court accordng to prevalng College regulatons, practces, condtons, provsons, and supervson, especally those that ether support or jeopardze the welfare of the student. When student drnkng ncreases on campus so do my concerns about rsks. Ths s one mportant reason why Kenyon students should understand that they cannot have the same degree of ndependence to use alcohol on campus as they mght when not n College resdence. To put t smply, I, as dean, am potentally and legally nvolved n whatever a student does on campus. Qute frankly, However, I understand the gst of I do not wsh my nvolvement to be your queston, and I assure you that I, jeopardzed by the lowest common denomnator of students' atttudes and. r for one, keep the topc of legal lablty always well n mnd. In fact, there are responsblty. Kenyon's rules and regulatons are desgned to permt a hgh precous few college admnstrators who don't have deep concerns about nsttutonal and personal lablty.

A lot of students are placng themselves, and ther organzatons, n some very hghrs k postons.

Such tables have already been determned n Gund and Upper Dempsey. The Dnng Servce has not, however, as of yet assgned any of the tables n the Great Hall n Perce. Mssentzs says that assgnng such tables n the Great Hall would cause problems because of student preference of certan tables over others. The changes that have occured n the Shoppes thus far ths year has been, perhaps, the most notceable. Now every patron, before enterng, must present dentfcaton that determnes whether or not that ndvdual may drnk alcoholc beverages.
