Hopes for ‘The Dead’ still aliveBy KATIE MURPHYNews W riter____________________________

Since being elected last week to the offices of s tu d en t body p resid en t and v ice-p residen t, ju n io rs David H ungeling and Matt Orsagh have already be­gun th e ir q u es t to b rin g the Grateful Dead to campus.

They have c o n ta c te d som e band p rom oters in C alifornia and Indianapolis, and they plan to m eet w ith m em bers of the administration this week.

“W hether or not we get the G rateful Dead , we definitely w ant a big name band to come and play in the Joyce Athletic C onvocation C en ter (JACC),” said Hungeling.

U nfortunate ly , the G rateful Dead is booked th ro u g h D e­cem ber of th is y ea r, and the cam pus facilities seem inade­quate for a school year concert, accord ing to Dennis McNally, prom oter for the band.

“I d o n ’t q u ite see how th is would work. My understanding is th a t th e JACC s e a ts only 11,000. We haven’t done shows less than 16,000 or 17,000 in

years,” said McNally.

The Grateful Dead also does n o t book o n e -n ig h t sh o w s. U sually the b an d p lays th ree shows in one location.

They make exceptions during th e su m m er, h o w ev er, w hen they perform in football s tad i­ums.

“I t’s c e rta in ly no d islike of Notre Dame,” he continued. “I just cannot imagine the adm in­is tra tio n of the U niversity of Notre Dame allowing the G rate­ful Dead into that most holy of holy places, N otre Dame S ta­dium. I don’t think Touchdown Jesus would go for it.”

Above all, a concert at Notre D am e w o u ld d e p e n d on th e band’s opinion of the facilities. If a location’s logistics (such as the traffic patterns of the city) and the acoustics are not suffi­c ie n t, th ey w ill n o t p e rfo rm there. The availability of a facil­ity also determ ines its use.

“D eadheads frequently have the m ost am azing th eo ries of w here the band plays, w hereas in actuality those are the only 3 re a so n s th a t co n tro l i t ,” Mc­

Nally said.

In response to these prelimi­nary obstacles, Hungeling and O rsa g h say th ey p la n to go a h e a d w ith th e ir p ro m ise to bring the Grateful Dead.

“W hat w e’ll need is a string of luck to cajole the ad m in is tra ­tion into doing something in the JACC,” said Hungeling.

S ince the G ra te fu l D ead is booked the rest of 1994, Hun­geling and O rsagh will try to have them come in the spring or early fall of 1995.

“(McNally) basically told us how we would go about (bring­in g th e m h e r e ) ,” sa id Hungeling.

Hungeling and Orsagh’s elec­tion has a ttra c te d nationw ide m edia attention. In addition to b e in g in te rv ie w e d by th e Chicago radio station WCKG, a num ber of college new spapers and the Associated Press have featured stories on their cam ­paign.

“They w ere interested in the hum or of it and obviously since Notre Dame is so well-known," said Hungeling.

Graduate Student Union has new leader Saint Marys electionBy CORRINE DORANNews W riter____________________________

The Ed W ingenbach/Elizabeth Schaefer ticket claimed official victory in the Graduate Student U nion (GSU) e le c tio n la s t evening a fte r cap tu rin g 70 of the 96 votes cast by g raduate students.

S ince th e b a llo t only c o n ­tained one ticket, GSU election officials w ere pleased with the turnout for the vote, said Lezlie Knox of the elections, creden­tials and p rocedures com m it­tee.

“We are very pleased with the tu r n o u t . It e x c e e d e d o u r ex p ec ta tio n s,” said Knox. “A lot of people took advantage of the o p portun ity to give feed ­back.”

The ballot gave graduate stu ­

dents the opportunity to w rite in about issues they felt w ere im portant.

“They focused a lot on health c a re and th e lib ra ry . T h ere w ere a lot of reac tions to the platform ,” said Knox.

One of the m ore im m ediate issues that will be addressed by th e a d m in is tra tio n w ill d ea l w ith g overnance of g ra d u a te students, according to Wingen- bach.

“I’d like to see graduate stu ­dents accountable to the grad school. There should be some k ind of c e n tra l iz a t io n ,” sa id Wingenbach.

Health care is also an im por­tant issue to the officers-elect.

“I’d like to see the University m ake secondary coverage for spouses and dependents m ore a ffo rd a b le o r th e U n iversity

could subsidize it,” Wingenbach said.

C o n tin u in g th e GSU’s in ­volvem ent in furthering social issues will also claim an im por­ta n t ro le d u r in g th e new administration.

“Social issues—concerns with w om en’s issu es and gay and lesbian issues—are im portant,” said W ingenbach. “It’s som e­thing w e’ve been doing, and I don’t w ant to lose the momen­tum on th a t.”

D e p a r tm e n ts w ill soon be ch o o sin g r e p re s e n ta t iv e s to se rv e on the GSU. The GSU rep resen ts students in degree gran ting program s, not in the law sch o o l o r in MBA p r o ­gram s, according to Knox.

W in g en b ach an d S c h a e fe r will take office on March 2.

results are finally officialBy ELIZABETH REGANSaint M ary’s News Editor

The election re su lts for the classes of 1996 and 1997 are now official, 48 hours after the polls closed, resulting in a win and a run-off, respectively.

The sole ticket for the sopho­more class, consisting of Laura Loh fo r p r e s id e n t , Em ily R u ffn e r fo r v ic e -p re s id e n t , Becky K ellogg for se c re ta ry , and Kathleen Zimmer for tre a ­su rer won with 78.5 percent of the votes.

Twenty-one and one half per­cen t of the vo ters ab s ta in ed , and only 15.7 p e rcen t of the c u rre n t freshm an class voted on Tuesday.

“We’re excited and honored to re p re s e n t th e c lass of ‘97 next year,” Loh said. “We hope to make our sophomore year a m em o rab le , p ro d u c tiv e , and fun year.”

The Jen Paluszak for presi­dent, Erin Shern for vice-presi­dent, Kari F antasia for sec re ­tary and Paulette Raczkowski for t r e a s u re r ticke t rece ived 48 .3 p e r c e n t o f th e ju n io r c la sses’ vote. However, since they lacked a m ajority , there will be a run-off election next T u esd ay a g a in s t th e seco n d place Kathy Petrovic ticket.

The ticket consisting of Petro­vic for president, H eather Mc­Donald for vice-president, Mary B eth Hozl as S e c re ta ry an d Amy M isch for t r e a s u re r r e ­ceived 27.5 percent of the vote.

T en p e rc e n t o f th e so p h o ­m ore class abstained officially and 44.9 percent of the class voted.

off,” P aluszak sa id . “I rea lly know that we’re the ones that can do the job. We hope th a t the students tha t did not vote do and the rem aining 48 p e r­cent continue to support us.”

The official results w ere not an n o u n ced y e s te rd a y due to miscommunication in the Office of Student Activities, according to election commissioner Mau­reen Sullivan.

“After the polls closed yester­day, we realized that we didn’t have some of the campaign re ­ceipts from the cand idates of th e se tw o c la s s e s ,” S u llivan said. “With the preparation for Ju n io r M om ’s W eekend and Sophom ore P aren ts W eekend, the receip ts w ere placed in a pile and overlooked.”

Its time to replace the

Honor CodeA Modest Proposal:I know th a t Notre Dame

has an Honor Code. I also know th a t as soon as the professor left the room dur­ing one of my finals last s p r in g , n o te b o o k s flew o p e n lik e an old s c re e n door on a windy day. As far as I know, the incident w as n ev e r re p o rte d and Asst. Viewpoint Editor everyone passed the class.F urtherm ore, w hat reaon ----------------------------do I have for getting a bunch of people in toru- b le w ho p ro b ab ly w e re n ’t even ch ea tin g to begin with? Nice honor code.

Or w hat about the feeling one gets while tak ­ing the test, knowing tha t people are cheating around them, knowing that they are responsible for tu rn in g them in, and know ing th a t they m ust do very well on this particular test before them. How can anyone expect to do reasonably well on any exam if they are debating w hether or not to turn someone in or even just thinking about w hat’s going on around them and not the test itself? Nice honor code.

Incidents like these lead me to believe that the Honor Code, as it stands, is quite ineffectual. A c c o rd in g to Zoe M a r in ’s r e p o r t in th e C am p u ses sec tio n (The O b serv e r, Feb. 14, 1994), only fifteen cases are brought before the com m ittee in an average sem ester. And I’m telling you I saw at least fifteen people cheat on the sam e test! Nice honor code.

I th in k th a t th e re is a w ay to d isco u rag e c h e a te r s , th o u g h . Good, h a rd , d isc ip lin e . P erh ap s a system like they used to have in Turkey. If a person got caugh t stealing, the authorities would cut off his hand. If he kicked a m an in anger, they would cut off his leg. And if he rap ed a w om an, they w ould, well, you know...

I think we should scrap the Honor Code and im plem ent w hat I like to call the F ear Code. The only problem is th a t I am not sure w hat part of the body to remove from a cheater.

Should we rip out his/her eyes, because the eyes w ere used to garner the answ ers illegally? Or, should we saw off the top of the cheater’s head and remove the brain, because the brain directed the cheater to cheat? Or, should we lop off their hand because it was used to tran ­scribe the illicitly obtained answ er? I admit, it’s a very difficult situation which has me entirely perplexed.

The only reasonable action to take, I guess, is to go whole hog for all th ree . F irst we stab their eyes out, then we rip their stinkin’ head off, and then we slice their hand off.

I th ink the Fear Code would be even m ore effective if, as an additional step, we scrap all the red tape and committees which the accused ch ea te r m ust face, not to m ention the added stress tha t classm ates go through in deciding the c h e a te r ’s fate. Yep, no m ore m eetings, hearings, trials, or psycological excuses for poor g rad es. Ju s t ship the filthy scum off to the Office of S tuden t A ffairs w here they will be introduced to justice, Turkish style.

Robertson assists in legal suitNORFOLK, Va

A conservative legal rig h ts g roup founded by evangelist Pat R obertson s ta r te d a nationw ide legal cam paign today against schools that bar students \ from forming Bible clubs.

The A m erican C enter for Law and I Justice, founded by Robertson as a con­servative rival of the A m erican Civil Liberties Union, filed a lawsuit in feder­al court against Smithfield High School and its parent Isle of Wight County School Board as part of a “nationwide legal assault.” The center is reviewing as many as 85 cases in 28 states involving school deci­sions denying Bible club activities, said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the group.

“Students here in Virginia and elsewhere are not going to be denied their rights simply because they choose to speak out on religion,” he said.

Two Smithfield High students, Jackie Marie Ferguson and Shauna Jones, said they were not allowed to form a Bible club at the school. Federal law requires schools to allow religion-based clubs if other noncurriculum organi­zations are permitted.

H. Woodrow Crook, an attorney for the Isle of Wight school system, said the Smithfield school does not allow clubs that a ren ’t based on its curriculum. T he issu e raised by the ACLJ involves w hether language and sci­ence clubs, for example, should be viewed as curriculum or noncurriculum groups.

Marla s publicist guilty o f shoe theft_______

NEW YORKPublicist Chuck Jones, who adm itted being sexually

fa sc in a te d by M arla T ru m p ’s sh o es, w as conv ic ted W ednesday on charges he stole footware and undergar­m ents from his ex-client. Jones, 52, of Greenwich, Conn., closed his eyes and lowered his head as the jury foreman pronounced him guilty of all charges, including burglary, criminal possession of stolen property and weapons pos­session. Mrs. Trum p was not in the courtroom when the verdict was announced. Donald Trum p’s spokeswoman, Norma Foerderer, said he was out of the office and that the Trum ps were not immediately aware of the verdict. Jones was arrested in July 1992 after police searched his m id-M anhattan office and found dozens of pairs of Mrs. T rum p’s missing shoes, boots and undergarm ents hidden in closets and draw ers. They also found an unlicensed handgun. The backs of the footwear had been slashed. During his three-week state court trial, Jones spoke of his “ sexual fascination” with women’s shoes and said he had a “ sexual relationship” with Mrs. Trum p’s shoes.

Citrus commission hears Limbaugh critics

LAKELAND, Fla.Rush Limbaugh will keep prom oting F lorida orange

juice on his radio show despite protests against the right- wing talk show host, the state citrus commission chair­man said Wednesday. Seven people at the Florida Citrus Commission’s monthly meeting urged the board to recon­sider Limbaugh’s $1 million contract to promote orange juice during breaks on his syndicated radio show, which reaches about 20 million people a day. “ I rem em ber World War II, and 1 do not like being called a Teminazi,’ ” said Jane B rum baugh, p resident of the Polk County c h a p te r o f th e N a tio n a l O rg a n iz a tio n for W om en. Limbaugh frequently uses that term to describe feminists. B rum baugh said orange ju ice shouldn’t be associated with a divisive person who bashes m inorities, women, gays, env ironm en t and an im als. The D ep artm en t of Citrus tried to distance itself from the m atter, explaining the 6-month contract is to buy air time on Lim baugh’s show, not to h ire him as a spokesm an. The con trac t started Monday.

Defense plays call made during Waco siege Four charged in student’s hazing death

SAN ANTONIODefense lawyers played a recording W ednesday of a

Branch Davidian’s frantic plea to “call it o ff’ as a deadly shootout e rup ted w ith federal agents. “ There are 75 m en around our building and they’re shooting at us at Mount Carmel,” said Wayne Martin, a top lieutenant to David Koresh. “Tell them there’s children and women in here and to call it off.” More than once during the 911 call, M artin re fe r re d to the g u n b a ttle as an a tta ck . “They’re attacking us again! ... They’re attacking,” he shouted. An hour of the call was played for ju ro rs in the federal trial of 11 Branch Davidians accused of m urder and conspiracy to m urder the four Bureau of Alcohol, T obacco and F ire a rm s killed in the Feb. 28, 1993, shootout. Six cult m em bers also died. If convicted, the cult members, who are pleading self-defense, could face up to life in prison. The gunbattle at the D avidians’ W aco-area home began a 51-day standoff between the religious group and federal authorities that ended with an April 19 fire that destroyed the compound.

By LARRY NEUMEISTERAssociated Press

NEW YORKA defense attorney for one of

four men on trial in the World T rade Center bombing tried in closing argum ents today to pin b lam e on a fug itive w ho e s ­caped to Iraq.

Lawyer Robert Precht held a p ic tu re of Ram zi Yousef, 27, and called him a “devious, evil ... genius” who fled the country Feb. 26, the same day six peo­ple w ere killed and 1,000 in ­ju red in the blast.

Precht called his client, Mo­ham m ad Salameh, 26, of Jersey City, N .J ., an em p lo y ee of Y o u se f’s w ho d id n o t know about the bombing plot.

“ He w as te r r ib ly m is led , te rrib ly m an ip u la ted ,” Precht said of Salameh.

In an a tte m p t to show his client was a humble, struggling immigrant, Precht opened w hat he called a “ m iserab le b rie f­c a se ” before the ju ry th a t he said contained all of Salam eh’s worldly belongings: an assort-

DePippo said the defendants used false identities, frequently charged telephone calls to third num bers and wiped away fin­g e rp r in ts in th e J e rs e y City a p a r tm e n t w h e re they m ade the bomb.

For the first time in the trial, DePippo singled out M ahm ud A b o u h a lim a , 34 , o f W ood- bridge, N.J., as a leader in the bombing. He said Abouhalim a was seen “barking out o rders” to Salameh and Yousef outside the Jersey City apartm ent.

The College Bowl is a con­test in which two team s com­posed of four students each, pit th e ir y ea rs o f academ ic ed u ca tio n and re c a ll sk ills ag a in st the o th e r team and the buzzer. Peter Lombardo, director of continuing educa­tion , is th e d ire c to r of th is year’s event.

“College Bowl s ta rted on th e ra d io a f te r W orld W ar T w o ,” s a id L o m b ard o . “Notre Dame was one of the first schools to get involved in the competition.”

“H ow ever, o u r involve­m ent h as not been continu­ous, as there was a break in the 1970s in which no Notre Dame team competed."

S tu d e n ts com pose th e ir ow n te a m s o f fo u r fo r th e co m p e titio n .

College Bowl is set up as a very com petitive m atch be­tween two team s that last for app ro x im ate ly fifteen m in ­utes. The em cee begins by a sk in g a to ss -u p q u e s tio n w orth ten points. Whomever h its the buzzer first gets to answ er the question.

The team is allowed to confer w ith each o th e r to a n sw e r the bonus question.

“1 know th e o th e r te a m well. Last y ear I com peted on a team w ith one of their team members," he said.

This year's tournam ent fol­lowed a round-robin format, due to the sm all num ber of te a m s s ig n e d up fo r th e c o m p e tit io n . Only n in e team s co m p e ted th is y ea r, u n lik e th e p a s t y e a r s in w h ich b e tw e e n 16 an d 23 team s competed for the title.

Sebesta attributed the low involvement to a general lack of aw areness of the activity. “College Bowl is not as well p u b lic ized as som e o th e r events on campus, so it is not well known,” he commented. “On o th e r cam p u ses , a lo t m ore studen ts get involved, w hich m ak es it a lo t m ore competitive.”

Some veterans waiting years for claims casesBy JIM ABRAMSAssociated Press

WASHINGTONAmerican soldiers can reach

rem ote hot spots within days or ev en h o u rs , b u t m any w a it y e a rs to ge t h e a r in g s on in ­ju ries they might have suffered.

T h e V e te ra n s A ffa irs D e­p a r tm e n t acknow ledges it is now losing the battle of coping w ith the tens of thousands of new claim s for com pensation and pensions coming in every year. Four years ago the back­log o f p e n d in g c la im s w as 377 ,000 . By the end of fiscal year 1995, the VA estim ates it could hit 870,000.

On av e rag e , it tak es m ore than 200 days to get an initial com pensation claim processed, an d a v e te ra n can ex p ec t to w ait m ore than two years to get a decision from the B oard of V eterans Appeals.

VA S ecre ta ry Jesse Brown said the backlog “ rem ains one o f the fo rem ost co n ce rn s’’ in the Veterans Benefits Adminis­tra tio n , predicting th a t claims com pleted will actually decline in th e im m e d ia te fu tu re b e ­c a u se of new leg a l r e q u i r e ­m en ts and the m ore com plex nature of today’s claims.

V e te ran s’ groups are up in arm s over the delays. “We be­lieve tha t a crisis situation, ap­p ro a c h in g a s ta te o f e m e r ­gency, currently exists in VA’s C o m p e n sa tio n a n d P en s io n S e rv ic e ,” Jo sep h V iolante of D isab led A m erican V e te ran s testified before Congress. Ap­peals board delays “ have b e ­come unconscionable and intol­erable.”

John Hanson of the A m eri­can Legion sa id o th e r issu es “m ust not be allowed to over­shadow the true crisis” in the claims process and “the impact th is is hav ing on the lives of tens of thousands of v e te rans and their families.”

“Overall, the system stinks,” said Sam Ledwith, 73, a former M arine who fought in the Pa­cific in World W ar II and in the Korean W ar. Ledwith, of Valley S tream , N.Y., recently learned that after four years of appeals and an even longer period of hospital visits tha t the VA was restoring a 40 percent disability paym ent for hearing loss it had cut in half in the 1980s.

I t ’s too b ig , too b u r e a u ­cratic,” he said. “ It just doesn’t je ll.”

G ary H ickm an, d irec to r of the Compensation and Pension S erv ice , sa id m ilita ry re d u c ­tions have m eant a 50 percent

jum p in new claim s, to about 150,000 last year, and that vet­erans now tend to file multiple, and often com plicated, claims. There have been about 30,000 claim s fro m the P ersian Gulf W ar, including thousands who say they are suffering from the m yste rio u s P e rs ian Gulf syn ­drome.

Board of V eterans Appeals C hairm an Charles Cragin said the creation in 1988 of a new U.S. court of veterans appeals, while helping define a body of common law for veterans, has added an adversarial, legalistic elem ent to w hat for half a cen­tu ry had been a p a te rn a lis tic system.

He said new re q u ire m e n ts for m ore co m p reh en siv e ex ­p la n a tio n s of d ec is io n s have also added to the paperw ork — an average file may be four feet high — and slow ed down the process. The board of appeals made 45,000 decisions in 1991, but may conclude only 13,000 this year, and if this trend con­tinues it could take m ore than six years to hear an appeal.

“We are doing a m arvelous job on a veteran-by-veteran ba­sis,” Cragin said. “ It’s a great p ro d u c t, b u t th e w a itin g lis t gets longer and longer.”

The VA plans to s ta rt incor­p o ra tin g 43 id e a s m ade la s t y e a r by a p a n e l th a t re c o m ­m e n d e d a “ m u lt i tu d e of changes” in the claims system. Included w ere the tra in in g of m ore decision-m aking staffers, computerization of records and rating systems and better coop­eration with the Pentagon.

Legislation is now pending th a t would allow single m em ­b e rs of the ap p ea ls b o ard to make decisions, ra th e r than the th re e now re q u ire d . The VA estim ates th a t could increase decisions by 25 percent.

•One of the 130-plus propos­a ls fo r 7 ,0 0 0 : a c re F o rt Ord n ear M onterey, Calif., is for a sp a c e p o rt for a lien s to land . The spit-and-polish Army post— w here Gen. “V inegar Joe ' Stilwell had his ashes scattered— is m ore likely to become a college campus.

The Presidio in San Francisco— once the northernm ost out­post of the Spanish em pire and a possession of the Army since 1846 —- is destined to become a national park. But the first new civilian tenant is the Gorbachev Foundation -U S A — a g ro u p headed by Mikhail Gorbachev, the form er leader of America’s ey eb a ll-to -ey eb a ll foe in the Cold War.

Scores of com m unities a re converting the training grounds of w ar into engines of economic

revivals, es tab lish in g civilian a irp o r ts , p r iso n s , in d u s tr ia l parks, colleges and hom eless shelters.

Beginning in 1988, with the Cold W ar over, the Pentagon ta rg e te d u n n eed ed bases for closing to save billions in de­fense spending. So far, 15 m a­jor bases have closed since the first one, Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire, shut down in March 1991 and became the Pease International T radeport. Ten m ore are due to close this year.

Fort Douglas — built in 1862 to protect gold shipments from Confederate ra id ers — closed in 1991. Located outside Salt Lake City, it is now part of the University of Utah, which p re­serves the fort's historic build­ings.

Since then, four light indus­tries have opened on the 1,172- acre base that the Navy used to tra in pilots for 50 years. The Texas prison system is opening a r e g io n a l h e a d q u a r te r s , a

tra in in g academ y and a p ro ­cessing cen ter for 4,000 p ris ­oners.

WASHINGTONHousing s ta rts got stuck in

inclement w eather and the rub ­ble of the California earthquake in January, according to a gov­ernm ent report today showing tha t construction plunged 17.6 percent.

The Commerce D epartm ent said construction of new single­family hom es and apartm en ts to ta led 1.29 m illion at a s e a ­sonally ad justed ann u al ra te , down from a revised 1.57 mil­lio n in D ec e m b e r — even s tro n g e r th an the in itia l 1.54 million estimate.

Residential construction was off in every region except for the W est, w here , desp ite the earthquake, starts edged up 0.3 percent.

C o m m erce S e c re ta ry Ron Brown said the “ tran s ien t ef­fe c t” of la s t m o n th ’s sev e re w inter w eather “ indicate some p o ss ib il i ty of a s lo w e r f i r s t q u a r te r th a n we m igh t have anticipated.

“Nonetheless, the economy’s underlying momentum rem ains intact and our confidence in its perform ance rem ains strong ,” he added.

The January plunge matched a 17.6 percent decline in Ja n ­uary 1991 and was the steepest since starts fell 26.4 percent in March 1984. Still, starts in Jan ­uary w ere 10.6 percent higher th a n a y ea r e a r lie r . The De­cem ber ra te w as the h ig h est since 1.62 million foundations were laid in January 1989.

Although ra tes have inched up from th e ir O cto b er low s, th e y r e m a in a f fo rd a b le fo r m any A m ericans. They a v e r­aged 7.21 p e rc e n t la s t w eek, down from m ore than 8 percent as 1993 began.

But analysts had said in ad ­vance of today’s report the r e ­c e n t p e r fo rm a n c e w o u ld be cu rb ed in J a n u a ry by sev ere w e a th e r and the Los A ngeles e a r th q u a k e . T heir co n sensus was for starts totaling just 1.40 million units.

‘‘We th in k th a t w h e n th e w eather finally reverts back to normal, the improvement in the h o u s in g in d u s try w ill c o n ­tinue,” said Marilyn Schaja, an e c o n o m is t w ith D o n a ld so n , Lufkin & J e n re t te S e c u ritie s Corp. in New York.

In fact, the National Associa­tion of Home Builders is fore­casting housing starts will total

1.43 million this year. If so, it would be the highest since 1.49 million units in 1988. Starts to­taled 1.29 million last year.

The fo recast found support in the Home Builders latest su r­vey of its m embership. The poll found 54 percent of the sample o f 375 b u i ld e r s e x p e c tin g “ good” sales of new hom es in the next six m onths, providing a n in c e n tiv e fo r in c re a s e d starts to m eet demand.

But the Com m erce D ep art­m ent’s repo rt showed applica­tions for b u ild in g p e rm its — often a barom eter of future ac­tivity — fell 7.9 p e rc e n t, the first decline in seven months.

Single-family starts dropped 15 p e rcen t, to a 1.15 m illion ra te from 1.35 m illion in De­cem ber. This com ponent com ­prises nearly 90 percent of resi­dential construction.

A partm ent construction fell 33.8 percent, to a 147,000 rate from 222,000 a m onth earlier. Despite the drop, many analysts believe the multi-family sector, w h ich h ad b e e n p la g u e d by overbuilding in the late 1980s and subsequent vacancies, has bottomed out.

R e g io n a lly , s t a r t s in th e Northeast fell 32.8 percent to a9 0 .0 0 0 a n n u a l r a t e , lo w e s t since an 85,000 rate in Febru­ary 1991. They had been down 2.2 percent in December.

C onstruction declined 22.9 p e rc e n t in th e M idw est, to a262.000 rate after a 3.7 percent advance a m onth earlier.

Starts also fell in the South, down 21.6 percent to 565,000, wiping out a 15.9 percent gain the previous month.

Greece closes consulate and trade route to MacedoniaBy NIKOS KONSTANDARASAssociated Press__________________________

ATHENS, Greece A ngered by W estern recog­

nition of the form er Yugoslav republic of M acedonia, Greece c lo se d its c o n s u la te in th e Macedonian capital and cut off the country’s main trade route Wednesday.

Greece claims Macedonia has d e s ig n s on its n o r th e r n province, also called M acedo­nia, and says these claims are reflected in the country’s name, flag and symbols, which Athens says are historically Greek.

R eferring to M acedonia by the nam e of its capital Skopje, Socialist Prem ier A ndreas Pa- pandreou said Greece has run out patience.

“ From the d isintegration of form er Yugoslavia, and the cre­a tio n of th e Skopje p ro b lem , u n t i l to d a y , S kop je h a s n o t ta k e n a s in g le s tep show in g m oderation or good sense,” he told a Cabinet meeting.

“The Greek governm ent has decided to suspend the activi­ties of its consulate in Skopje, and the suspension of goods to and from Skopje th ro u g h the p o r t o f S a lo n ic a , e x c e p tin g those tha t are absolutely neces­sary for hum anitarian reasons, such as food and m edic ines,” he said.

Greece has no diplomatic re ­lations with Macedonia; its con­sulate there was left over from the breakup of Yugoslavia.

South Korea seems calm in face of nuclear tension

SEOUL, South KoreaLee Woo-jung, a gangly 15-

year-old, looks like a carefree kid anyw here, clowning with f r ie n d s , te e te r in g a lo n g on ro ller skates. When his voice cracks, he tries to cover it up with a boisterous laugh.

But the roller rink is actual­ly an emergency military land­ing strip. The half-mile stretch of concrete , know n as Yoido P la z a , s i ts in th e h e a r t of Seoul, su rrounded by g litte r­ing financial tow ers and gov­ernm ent buildings.

But the deal does not cover two suspect sites, and inspec­to rs said it left u n an sw ered the key question of w h e th e r the hard-line communist state is s e e k in g to b u ild a to m ic weapons.

The United States and oth­e rs have th re a te n e d to seek U.N. s a n c t io n s if th e Pyongyang governm ent refus­es to prove its n u c le a r p ro ­gram is peaceful. North Korea says it would consider san c ­tions an act of war.

Two top Zhirinovsky allies quitBy ALEXANDER MERKUSHEVAssociated Press

MOSCOW Tw o top m e m b e rs of

Vladimir Zhirinovsky's u ltrana­tionalist party qu it its p a rlia ­m e n ta ry fac tion W ednesday , citing “ ideological” differences w ith th e ir p o w e r-h u n g ry leader.

One of the defectors, Viktor Kobelev, accused Zhirinovsky of extrem ism , alienating Rus­sia’s allies and usurping power in th e L ib e ra l D e m o c ra tic Party, which got the most votes in the December parliam entary elections.

T he d e fe c tio n s a p p e a r to m ark the em ergence of a rift between Zhirinovsky and mod­erate m em bers of the party op­posed to h is re lia n c e on ex ­trem e nationalism and heavy- h an d ed ap p ro ach to R ussia’s problems.

Late la s t y ea r, A ndrei Za- v id ia , Z h irin o v sk y ’s ru n n in g m ate in the 1991 presidentia l e lections who helped finance h is c a m p a ig n s , a lso b ro k e away, saying he did not agree w ith Z h ir in o v sk y ’s “ fa s c is t views” or attem pts to “ impose dictatorship” within the party.

Kobelev and his associa te , LDP la w m a k e r A le x a n d e r

Pronin, appeared to be desert­in g Z h irin o v sk y on s im ila r grounds.

“We are quitting for purely ideological reaso n s,” said Ko­belev, the o rgan izer of Z h iri­novsky’s election campaign and until now the No. 2 man in the Liberal Democratic Party.

“ I o p p o se th e p o licy o u r le a d e r h as p u rsu ed over the past few m onths. We ought to s tic k by th e p la tfo rm th a t gained us nearly 12.5 million votes,” Kobelev said in an in ­terview.

In the Dec. 12 elections, Rus­s ia ’s voters cast m ore ballo ts for Zhirinovsky’s misleadingly- n a m e d L ib e ra l D e m o c ra tic Party than for any other party or coalition. The vote, however, is la rg e ly se e n as a p ro te s t against painful economic poli­cies by President Boris Yeltsin’s government.

U.N. says warring sides to m eet NATO gun deadlineBy ROBERT H. REIDAssociated Press__________________________

SARAJEVO U.N. com m anders announced pledges by Bosnia’s w arring parties W ednesday to move their heavy guns from Sarajevo or put them under U.N. control by NATO’s deadline of midnight Sunday.

NATO th rea tened last week to o rd e r a ir a t ta c k s on any how itzers, m ortars or an ti-a ir­craft guns not w ithdrawn from th e c ity . M em b ers o f th e alliance have indicated it would accep t the w eapons being put u n d e r s tric t U.N. control th a t p re v e n te d c o m b a ta n ts from retaking possession.

Gen. Jean Cot, chief of U.N. p e a c e k e e p e rs in fo rm e r Yu­g o s la v ia , sa id he re c e iv e d p ledges to m eet the dead line fro m le a d e r s o f b o th th e B osn ian S erbs who have b e ­sieged the city for 22 m onths an d B osnia’s M uslim -led gov­ernm ent.

“ There are guaran tees that a s o f th e 2 0 th o f F e b ru a ry , w eap o n s from th e S erb side and the B osnian side w ill be under our control,” Cot told re ­porters at Sarajevo’s airport.

But there were few outward signs of com pliance. U.N. offi­c ia ls c o n f irm e d no new w eapons had been placed u n ­der their control since Sunday, when 36 were reported to have been surrendered.

U.N. officials said the Serbs m oved som e guns aw ay from Sarajevo but would not give any figures. Serb troops w ere esti­m ated to have about 500 heavy w eapons ringing the city. The g o v e rn m e n t a rm y h a s fa r fewer.

A lth o u g h b o th s id e s have generally lived up to a week-old truce around Sarajevo, military com m anders in Bosnia are no­torious for reneging on prom is­es.

“This is a trem endous gam ­ble,” Cot said of the U.N.-NATO effort to bring peace to the city.

“ If it works, we will all be win­ners. If it fails, we will all be losers. It is a gamble for peace. The time has come for the city to be opened. It m ust be freed from fear or death .”

F igh tin g h as co n tin u e d in o ther p a rts of the form er Yu­goslav republic, and U.N. offi­cials hope a successful cease­fire in Sarajevo will help bring peace elsewhere.

NATO’s u lt im a tu m w as prom pted by a m ortar shell that killed 68 people in a Sarajevo m arket Feb. 5. Serbs have been widely blamed, but U.N. investi­ga to rs said W ednesday it was im possib le to d e te rm in e who fired the shell.

A w o rk e r w as k illed on a dow ntow n s tre e t by a sn ip e r W ednesday, becoming the first civilian slain in the city since th e tru c e b e g a n T h u rsd a y . B osnian Serbs claim ed p rev i­ously that two of their soldiers w ere killed during the c ea se ­fire.

A bout 10 ,000 peop le have

been killed in the city since mi­n o r ity S e rb s r e b e lle d w h en Muslims and Croats led Bosnia into secession from Serb-domi­nated Yugoslavia in April 1992. About 200,000 people are dead or missing across Bosnia.

The Bosnian Serbs’ military chief, Ratko Mladic, suggested Tuesday that his artillery would not be withdrawn from around Sarajevo if th a t would je o p a r­dize “our people who have al­ways lived on these territories.”

But Cot said he had w arned both M ladic and the B osnian government commander, Rasim D elic , o f th e g ra v ity of th e NATO deadline.

“ I can tell you both generals said they understood this,” Cot said.

U.S. o ffic ia ls sa id in W ash ing ton on T uesday th a t heavy w eapons would have to be moved at least 13 miles from the center of the city, be turned over to U.N. troops or be made inoperable.

Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose, the U.N. co m m an d er fo r B osnia, said NATO’s intent will be met. He said his defin ition of U.N. co n tro l is th a t if e i th e r side w ant weapons re tu rned , “ they will have to fight to get them back.”

T he U.N. c o m m a n d e r fo r S a ra je v o , Lt. G en. A n d re Soubirou, said th ree sites had been designated for the collec­tion and m onitoring of heavy w eap o n s — tw o on th e S erb side and one on th e B osnian government side.

A bout 170 so ld ie rs from a Nordic battalion in the northern B osnian city of T uzla arriv ed W ednesday to help the 1,400 U.N. p e a c e k e e p e rs b a se d in Sarajevo.

A U.N. spokesm an, Lt. Col. Bill Aikman, said com m anders w a n te d to b r in g in 2 ,5 0 0 to 3,000 more soldiers. They hope the additional troops can come from c o u n tr ie s th a t a lre a d y have contingents in Bosnia, he said.

Tokyo has mild response to trade pressure, options

Mandela announces concessionsBy PETER LANDERSAssociated Press__________________________

TOKYOAs W ashington turns up the

heat with charges about closed Japanese m arkets, Tokyo offi­cials are playing it cool, appar­e n tly w o rr ie d h a r s h w o rd s would raise the likelihood of a dam aging trade war.

After U.S. Trade Representa­tive Mickey Kantor used unusu­ally harsh language in accusing Japan of breaking prom ises to open its cellular phone m arket, the word for the day in Tokyo W ednesday was “reisei” — lit­erally “cool and quiet."

“From the standpoint of p re ­serving and developing friendly U.S.-Japan relations, our coun­try believes both Japan and the United States should react cool­ly and q u ie tly ,” said a s ta te ­m en t by te leco m m u n ica tio n s m inister Takenori Kanzaki.

K anzaki d isp u ted K an to r’s accusation Tuesday that Japan had not lived up to a 1989 pact to give Motorola Inc. access to its cellular phone market.

B ut c h ie f g o v e rn m e n t sp o k esm an M asayoshi Take- m ura said Tokyo w asn’t going to do anything until the United States decides on specific sanc­tio n s on J a p a n e s e p ro d u c ts over the phone dispute.

About the farthest Japanese officials say they’re ready to go is to appeal any U.S. retaliatory step s to the w orld free trad e body, the G eneral A greem ent on Tariffs and Trade.

The Motorola case was sepa­ra te from the broader talks that c o lla p s e d la s t F rid a y o v er Japan 's refusal to accept a U.S. dem and for num erical goals to m easure success.

J a p a n c o n tin u e s to re je c t th a t d e m a n d . B ut P rim e M in ister M orih iro H osokaw a said W ednesday that Japan had the responsib ility to take the initiative in trim m ing its nearly $60 billion trad e surp lus with the United States.

“We would like to find the w ay tow ard a com prom ise as quickly as possible,” Hosokawa said.

That surp lus is still getting b ig g e r, a c c o rd in g to fig u re s announced Wednesday. Japan ’s o v e ra ll t r a d e s u rp lu s in Jan u ary rose 17 p ercen t over the sam e m onth a year earlier to $6.11 billion.

The prim e m inister was re ­portedly ready to assemble his top negotiators on Thursday to d isc u ss s te p s to p la c a te the Clinton administration.

But H osokaw a hard ly gave the impression of having sleep­less n igh ts over the issue . In fact, over the past few days he has been giving a good deal of attention to the unrelated ques­tion of w hether to reshuffle his Cabinet — a move that may be even touchier than trade talks given the fractious nature of his ruling coalition.

JOHANNESBURGA frican N ational C ongress

le a d e r N elson M a n d e la a n ­nounced m ajor concessions to ­day to an opposition alliance in hopes of avoiding a boycott of national elections and reducing the th rea t of civil war.

‘We m ust trea t the th reat of civil w ar seriously. That is why we have gone out of our way to m ak e th e s e c o n c e s s io n s ,” M andela to ld a new s c o n fe r­ence after an emergency m eet­ing of the group’s policy-m ak­ing National Executive Commit­tee.

T h e ANC d ro p p e d its dem and for a single-ballot sys­tem in the April 26-28 election to end white-minority rule and called for m ultiparty n ego tia ­tions to be reconvened Monday to a p p ro v e th e d e c is io n , Mandela said.

T his m ark s an im p o rta n t con cessio n to th e o pposition Freedom Alliance, a coalition of anti-A N C w h ite a n d b la c k groups who have vowed to boy­co tt th e e le c tio n an d ra is e d threats of political violence. The Alliance has said voters should cast two ballots in April — one for a national P arliam ent and

a n o th e r fo r reg io n a l le g is la ­tures.

This w ould give sm all, r e ­gionally based parties such as th o se re p re s e n te d in the A l­liance a chance of establishing pow er bases in th e ir a rea s of support. A single ballot would have virtually assured the huge ANC a majority of seats in both the national and provincial leg­islatures.

M andela also sought to reas­sure the Alliance by saying that the new governm en t will not substantially change the post­aparthe id constitution drafted

in multiparty negotiations. The Alliance said it fears the docu­m ent will be rew ritten by the next governm ent, which is ex­pected to be dom inated by the ANC.

Even w ith th e a n n o u n c e ­m en t, it w as no t c e r ta in the Alliance m embers would agree to take part in the vote.

T he p a r t ie s , led by p r o ­apartheid whites and the Zulu- d o m in a ted In k a th a F reed o m Party, also are dem anding in ­dependent homelands for their supporters to avoid living under ANC rule.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Students voted for possibility of changeDear Editor:

We w rite th is l e t te r in response to Kevin K riner’s let­te r (“S tu d e n t G o v e rn m en t re q u ire s m ore ‘se rio u s’ le ad ­e rs ," The O b se rv e r, F e b .15, 1994).

On Wednesday, February 9th, 1994, over fifty percent of the s tu d e n t body v o ted fo r th e H ungeling/O rsagh ticket. Mr. K riner, we w ere two students of that fifty percent who voted intelligently, discerningly, and yes, seriously, for a change.

We feel tha t several of your argum ents against our new stu­d e n t body le a d e rs and th e ir supporters were both unfound­ed and offensive.

First of all, we didn’t vote for the Dead. Secondly, we d idn’t vote for free football tickets. F o r u s , th e p la tfo rm of Hungeling and Orsagh was not about these two issues, it was about the underlying need for change on this campus.

Although we are only fresh ­men, we have both felt frustra t­ed with the seemingly uniform viewpoints of many Notre Dame s tu d e n ts an d th e ir le a d e r s . W here is the d e s ire to c h a l­lenge the expected? W here is the courage to break from the conformity?

You mentioned in your letter th a t “ It [th e le a d e rs h ip of H u n g e lin g an d O rsagh ] w ill p ro b a b ly e m b a r r a s s th e U niversity , m uch like it w ill em barrass m e.” You are obvi­ously concerned with an image tha t you feel Notre Dame s tu ­d e n ts m u s t p ro je c t. We a re Notre Dame students. We are not em b arrassed , and a p p a r­ently, neither are the other fifty percent of those who voted with us. Why should we be em bar­r a s s e d ? We have ju s t g iven Notre Dame the kind of change

it has been longing for- the kind of change that encourages stu­dents to be individuals.

Mr. K riner, why a re you so afraid of Dave and Matt? They a re ju s t r e g u la r N otre Dame studen ts. They a re ap p ro ach ­able. They are accessible. They gave us th e ir phone num ber. They a re no t p o litic ian s and they refuse to be puppets for the administration.

C ontrary to your belief th a t this campaign was a “populari­ty stunt/Joke” and an opportu­nity for two fellow students to destroy organized student gov­ernm ent, we feel that the elec­tion of Hungeling and Orsagh will fo ste r an a tm o sp h ere on this cam pus in w hich students can feel co m fo rtab le voicing opinions th a t they have prev i­ously felt were unwelcome.

H ung elin g an d O rsag h a re quo ted as say ing , “...s tu d e n t government will not get people laid, nor can we get students a date.” Mr. Kriner, you then are quoted saying, “This has noth­ing to do w ith the issues and how they perta in to studen ts.” Exactly.

We feel that was precisely the p o in t th a t H u n g e lin g an d

Orsagh were trying to make by u s in g th e is su e of m ale and female relationships as a sym­bol of the need for students to take the initiative and responsi­bility to face decisions such as these on their own. We are col­lege students capable of being independent and m aking good choices. We m ust have trust in the integrity and significance of ou r b e lie fs . As s tu d e n ts , we m ust trust our own voice.

F o r u s , th e e le c tio n of H ungeling and O rsagh w as a confirmation of trust... trust in the im portance of our convic­tions. Granted, we may not be getting two DART times or The Pub. We may not be getting the Grateful Dead or free football tickets. W hat we are getting is th e p ro o f th a t th in g s can change here a t Notre Dame if we as s tu d e n ts have enough faith in each o ther to bring it about. We are gaining courage to , as you p u t it Mr. K riner, “throw off the balance.” We are gaining courage in ourselves.

Election can be impetus for students to implement changeDear Editor:

At le a s t now th e re is som e d is c u s s io n c o n c e rn in g th e fu tu re o f N o tre D am e an d S tudent G overnm ent w ith the e le c tio n o f H u n g e lin g a n d Orsagh. A glimmer of hope that th e s tu d e n t m in d of N o tre Dame is not com pletely Dead. Now, lets see if that mind can m ak e th e body m ove o u t of study mode into action.

Anyone who h as w orked in any fo rm of s tu d e n t g o v e rn ­m ent knows tha t strong leader­ship is im p ortan t, bu t it does not necessarily come from the top. Pow er by the people, for th e p e o p le . O ur S tu d e n t Government is simply a vehicle for action to be taken by ou r­selves and we decide w here it takes us.

If you tru ly feel th a t th e se guys are going to do a poor job, s t a r t a p e t i t io n to im p e a c h them . But, if you und erstan d th a t it really does no t m a tte r who the figurehead is, and how the system w orks, take som e positive ac tio n . Yes you, the ordinary student can do som e­th in g . B ut th e e x p e r ie n c e d leader should pave the way and the s tu d e n t can dem and ju s t that.

Hopefully the promises of the other candidates w ere not rum ­b le s fro m th e b e lly o f a fa t politician. I know they w ere not ju s t blowing sm oke, or full of hot air. For m ost of the ideas were sound, and can be imple­m ented . It is understood th a t, th e y d o n ’t n e e d to be th e P resident to get them passed. These people know w hat upsets the system and how they can complete their movements.

W ithout any b itte rn ess over th e lo s s , th e o th e r t ic k e ts

I hope all th e v o tin g s tu d e n ts w e r e n ’t c a s tin g th e ir b a llo ts fo r the group w ith the best ideas. We all saw w here The Guide went and w hat it can be used for...

“R ad ica ls ” h av e com e an d gone at Notre Dame and Mary is still stand ing on the Dome. Things don’t really ever change around here, and they won’t if no one actually tries anything.

Spielberg and‘Schindler's List deserve

Academy Leccgniticn

JO N THORN

S te v e n S p ie lb e rg h a s r e ­counted in interviews how, as a c h ild , th e o th e r s tu d e n ts in study hall used to throw p en ­nies a t him because he w as a Jew.

In high school his senior year he w as p h y s ic a lly a c c o s te d , again, because he was a Jew.

P e rh a p s it w as l in g e r in g m em ories th a t kept Spielberg from making “Schindler’s List” earlier in his career.

M aybe it w as th o se sam e m em ories, now faded to black a n d w h ite , th a t S tev en Spielberg could now not avoid.

It is too simple to heap acco­lades on “Schindler’s List,” the la te s t, and m ost critically ac ­claim ed, of Steven Spielberg’s films.

“S c h in d le r s ’ L is t” is m o re th a n tw elve A cadem y A w ard nom inations. This film t r a n ­scends the usual quality of films tha t fill the movie theaters.

“Schindler’s List” is a work of a r t a n d an o bv ious la b o r of love.

Very few times in my life have I a tten d ed the sc reen in g of a film and left the th ea te r in si­lence, surrounded by a speech­less audience.

“Schindler’s List ” leaves audi­ences speech less because the acting, directing, lighting, and cinem atography all are the ulti­m ate expression of unity in exe­cution.

In a disgustingly ironic twist, i t is a lso a s to ry of u n ity in execution in the worst sense.

The central focus of the film, the trag ic sto ry of the N azis’ genocide and its senselessness and sickness, revolves around O sk a r S c h in d le r (L iam Neesom).

L iam N eesom p lay s O sk ar Schindler to perfection. There is n o t a w a s te d w o rd or unnecessary glance in his p e r­formance.

“Schindler’s List” is the story of a m an who sympathizes with Nazis, carouses with them, is a w om anizer and seems dedicat­

ed to m aking money above all other things.

It is too sim ple, how ever, to sum up the character of Oskar S ch ind ler, a C zechoslovakian from Brinnlitz, as m erely that of a heartless enterprising busi­nessm an.

The view er’s first glimpses at S chn id ler m ake them believe su ch a c h a ra c te r iz a t io n , bu t only the m an’s g reater com pas­sion is revealed.

Schindler only h ires Jew s at his factory because he can pay them less and m ake a la rg e r profit than if he hired Poles.

‘Schindler's List’ is a work of art and an obvious labor of love.

S c h in d le r’s tra n s fo rm a tio n from manipulative businessm an to hero begins when his work­ers are forced to shovel snow as opposed to come to his factory to work.

Then one of the Jews working for Schindler, a gracious one- arm ed m an is exterm inated by G erm an s o ld ie rs d u r in g th e snow shoveling.

At first, Schindler seems most angry with the Nazi authorities b ecause he has lost a w orker and he has lost money.

A g ain a n o th e r s i tu a t io n m akes us question the charac­te r o f S ch in d le r in th e ea rly portion of the film.

His a s s is ta n t , I tz h a k S te rn (Ben Kingsley) forgets his work papers one day en route to the fac to ry . A p p reh en d ed by the Nazis, Stern is placed on a train headed to his doom.

Schindler in te rcep ts S te rn ’s c o u rs e to w a rd s a d e f in ite dem ise, using his sauve, m a ­n ip u la t iv e m a n n e rs to f re e S te rn in w h a t is one of th e comedic and yet still poignant moments of the film.

Schindler inform s Stern tha t his concern for S tern w as not

n ecessarily h u m an ita rian : he needed Stern to run the factory. But the viewer begins to see the emerging heroism in Schindler.

T he m o st n o ta b le s te p in S ch ind ler’s tran sfo rm atio n to s e n s it iv ity co m es w h en , p e rc h e d on h is h o rse above Krakow in the hills, he witness­es the Nazis destro y K rakow and its in h ab itan ts , round ing up Jews for the slaughterhouse.

Amid all of this choas, a little girl w anders frightened.

This powerful moment is cer­tain to become one of the most m emorable scenes in cinematic history.

Spielberg gives the girl all th e sym b o lic tra g e d y of th e Holocaust as she w anders lost, frightened and su rrounded by death.

One wonders if Spielberg felt like that little girl as he sat in study hall, the pennies landing on and about him.

I wonder if he felt like that lit­tle g irl, confused and f r ig h t­e n e d , as he tr ie d a g a in and again to hand “Schindler’s List” over to other directors such as M artin S co rsese and Sydney Pollack because he was unsure of his own ability to tell the tale.

W hatever it is about that little girl, whatever it is about her lit- tBye red dress in an otherwise b lack and w hite film , Steven Spielberg has m anaged to say so much with so little. Viewers of this film will be haunted by t

hat red dress.Perhaps it was such an inci­

d e n t th a t m ad e S c h in d le r ’s transform ation com plete; p e r­haps it was something else.

Spielberg is too sly, too bright to d irectly say why Schindler c h a n g e s , w h ich m a k e s th e change all the more compelling.

With the Jew s’ deportation to th e la b o r c a m p s , S c h in d le r s ta rts down the path th a t will save th e lives of over 1 ,100 men, women and children.

In th e la b o r cam p , he w ill hatch a scheme with the camp

Poldek Pfefferberg (Jonathan Sagalle) and his wife Mila (Adi Nitzan) are among the more than 1,100 Jewish workers saved from deporta­tion and German industrialist Oskar Schindler.

c o m m a n d a n t, A m on G oeth (Ralph Fiennes), who sits in his balcony, shooting the Jew s in the camp below him indiscrimi­nately.

Fiennes’ portrayal of Goeth is one of the g re a te s t p ieces of acting 1 have ever seen on film.

He is not merely some hateful Nazi; he is the em bodim ent of the twisted motives of the Nazi party, the w arped sense of the world that w ar creates and the confusion over w hat power re ­ally is.

In a g r e a t sc e n e b e tw e e n Neesom and Fiennes, the two discuss the nature of power.

It is a revealing scene, show­ing the audience, finally, how S c h in d le r h a s c h a n g e d an d show ing us how p a th e tica lly confused and twisted Goeth and the Nazis are.

These subtle moments crafted by the actors and the director a re w h a t m ak e th e film so a s to n is h in g ly to u c h in g an d telling.

A tten tio n to d e ta il and the highest level of craftsm anship shine th rough not only in the acting and direcition, but also in th e lig h tin g an dcinematography.

Some of the critics in the film w o rld w o rr ie d th a t S tev en S p ie lb e rg w ould m ake“S ch in d le r’s L ist” in to a po l­ished gem, devoid of the dark, rough quality necessary to tell the tale.

The carefu lly lit b lack-and- white film was Spielberg’s first step towards making a film en­dowed with a gritty quality.

He also avoided placing the cam era on a crane and making long , sw e e p in g “H ollyw ood” cam era shots. Instead, num er­ous tim es, S p ie lb e rg h im se lf held the cam era.

He turns his cam era lens into the eyes of a Jew lost am ong o th e r c o n fu se d Jew s on th e street. He turns his cam era into an observer of the horrific.

S teven S p ie lb e rg h as s id e ­stepped the apprehensive crit­

ics and somehow fulfilled their prophecies.

He has made the most beauti­fully ugly film I have ever seen.

W hen th e film e n d s w ith Schindler’s successfully crafted list and plans, you are left only with a haunting sense that the Holocaust is one of the greatest t r a g e d ie s in th e h is to ry of mankind.

Though he has been criticized by som e for d red g in g up the h a r s h m e m o rie s o f th e Holocaust, I cannot see how he can be faulted in today’s world, w here Neo-Nazism exists and w h e re som e p e o p le d o n ’t believe the Holocaust ever hap­pened.

It is sad to think that the peo­ple who most need to see this film never will.

Steven Spielberg has come a long way as a d irec to r in his d e a lin g w ith th e N azis. The burning up of the Nazi swastika on the crate that held The Ark of the Covenant in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” has been replaced by something more subtle.

It h a s b e e n r e p la c e d by a film, dedicated by Spielberg to th e Je w s w ho d ied in th e Holocaust, that w arns us of the te r r ib le d eed s m an can (and has) inflicted upon his fellow man.

In th is w o rld w h e re indiscriminate slaughter occurs daily in B osn ia , w h e re Neo- Nazism is on the rise , Steven Spielberg w ants us to rem em ­ber lest we forget.

P erhaps Spielberg, Neesom, Kingsley, Fiennes and all those w ho w o rk ed on “S c h in d le r ’s L is t” c a n h av e an e ffe c t on these irrational hatreds d irect­ed at innocents, Jewish or oth­erwise.

P erh ap s Spielberg , haun ted as he m u st be, h o p es a t the very least that the pennies will n e v e r so u n d n e a r a n o th e r Jewish boy in study hall.

Not to be forgotten , but r e ­m em bered lest we forget.

T ITJO N THORN

“Blink” doesn’t pretend to be more than en terta in ­ment. Unlike “Schindler’s List,” it doesn’t presum e to undertake the task of changing people’s m inds and hearts.

At most, “Blink ” tries to give the sighted some indica­tion as to w hat blindness undone would be like.

The film accomplishes this while staying true to it’s th r i l le r g e n re , an d as th e a d v e r t is e m e n t s ta te s , “Illusion. Deception. M urder. In the Blink of an eye things are not w hat they seem .”

To say that “Blink” is merely entertainm ent would be unfair. There are moments in the film that may well enlighten audience members.

T he m o st m e m o ra b le is w h e n E m m a B rody (Madeleine Stowe) has just regained her sight and asks inquisitively w h e th e r the w om an in terv iew ing h e r about her regained sight is pretty.

“Do people tell you that you’re pretty?,” Emma asks softly.

Perhaps this is what makes this film just a bit better than the usual thriller.

In fact, Blink is a “sleep e r” film th a t is alm ost as entertaining as this sum m er’s “The Fugitive.”

The basic premise of “Blink” is that a woman nam ed Emma Brody, an Irish folk m usician, was blinded by her mother at an early age.

After her vision is restored with a cornea transplant, she witnesses a killer leaving her apartm ent building.

The detective, played by Aidan Quinn attem pts to u n ­ravel the mysterious m urders that have been happen­ing.

As Stow e’s ch a ra c te r begins to m atu re , problem s with her regained sight are played out ra th e r elegantly and not as cliches.

Most notably, because her eyes are sensitive, there is a beautiful scene w here she has filled her apartm ent with lit candles for light as opposed to bright lam ps

and light bulbs.The cinem atography of this scene and others puts

this film a step above the usual thriller.In the beginning of “Blink,” the cam era shows a dis­

torted point of view, m eant to represent Emma’s point of view.

In th is fa sh io n , th e a u d ie n c e w ill o c cas io n a lly become frustrated, trying to figure out w hat precisely they are watching transpire.

I found this p a rt of the film particularly well done since that sam e sense of frustration the viewer feels undoubtedly doesn’t approach the frustration th a t a blind person who has ju s t regained their sight m ust feel.

Another example of the quality of filming occurs d u r­ing the credits.

We’ve all experienced those first few moments in a darkened movie th e a te r as our eyes adjust. Blink’s credits play off of this, letting our eyes fully adjust, then having the title credit come onto the screen in a bright flash.

The bright flash acts not unlike a cam era’s flash and we, appropriately, blink.

Another nice touch is a two-way m irror scene w here Em m a trie s to identify the m u rd e re r and the faces keep shifting in and out of focus. One m om ent they look like the killer, and the next they don’t.

This elem ent of the plot, her vision being a liability as a reliable witness, is touched on several times in the film.

“Blink" is no t ju s t fancy cam era w ork, how ever. Madeleine Stowe and Aidan Quinn both give credible perform ances, playing the smoldering undercurren t of rom antic possibilities very well.

There are also a num ber of interesting conversations about soap, which is a key elem ent in apprehending the m urderer.

At first glance, “Blink ” seem s like a conventional thriller; to a certain extent, it is.

But “Blink” goes beyond this, offering a decent plot and enough interesting twists to entertain.

Razorbacks gain revenge, confidence in victory

By HARRY KINGAssociated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.A rk a n s a s c o ach N o lan

Richardson was so right.G oing in to th e A lab am a

g am e W ed n e sd a y n ig h t, Richardson said his team w as­n ’t the sam e one th a t lost to the Crimson Tide on the road in early January.

After his top-ranked Razor- backs b ea t A labam a 102-81, he said it again.

“ O ur c o n fid e n c e h a s r e ­tu rned ," he said. “We had 10 players with a t least 10 m in­u te s o f p la y in g tim e . T h a t a lone te lls how m uch b e tte r we are than we w ere when we played at Alabama."

Corliss W illiam son scored 10 points in the first four m in­utes of the second half and the d e fe n se s tifled the C rim son T id e . A la b a m a h a d 25 tu rn o v e rs an d gave up 100 points for the first time in 61 games.

It was Alabama that handed A rk an sas its first loss of the season , a fte r the R azorbacks had been No, 1 for five weeks. The Razorbacks were the last team to hold the top spot for m ore th a n one w eek as th e last seven polls have had a dif­ferent No. 1 team.

"T heir th o u g h ts fo r th is gam e w ere 100 p e rc e n t r e ­venge, revenge, revenge," Al­abam a’s Jam al Faulkner said. “And they definitely got it."

“We didn’t m ake the stops on defense like we needed to," A labam a coach David Hobbs said. “We didn’t rebound like we should have. We allow ed them second sho ts too many tim es."

W illiam son played a huge ro le as A rk an sas (19-2 , 9-2 S o u th e a s te rn C o n fe re n c e ) went on a 16-2 run that made it 58-39 w ith 15:35 to play. Alabama (13-8, 8-4) never got closer than 14 the rest of the way.

Williamson finished with 20 points, while A1 Dillard had 14 of h is 16 in the second half. J a m a l F a u lk n e r to p p ed A l­abam a w ith 18 points, while Jason Cafiey added 14.

“ Corliss is as consistent as can be.” Richardson said. “ He had 20 points in 20 m inutes.”

Shon Peck-Love scored in th e o p e n in g se c o n d s o f th e se c o n d h a l f to c u t th e Arkansas lead to 42-37. Corey Beck’s rebound basket started the ru n and then W illiamson took charge. At the other end, he picked up a deflected pass and com pleted a th ree -p o in t play.

Kentucky’sBy JIMMY GOLENAssociated Press

BATON ROUGE, La.Trailing by 31 points with 15

m inutes left to play, Kentucky co ach Rick P itin o h ad h is doubts. Point guard Travis Ford never did.

Ford called the llth -ra n k e d W ild c a ts to g e th e r d u r in g a tim eout on Tuesday night and ordered them to rally. They re ­sp o n d e d by m a tc h in g th e b ig g es t com eback in co llege basketball history, beating LSU 99-95.

“ I pulled everyone together and 1 said, ‘We’re down 31 and w e’re not leaving this building w ithout a win. We re going to win this game no m atter what. I’ll s tay h e re all n ig h t,” ’ r e ­called Ford, who had 10 points and 12 assists.

“And everyone just looked at me, and everyone was so posi­tive. And everyone said, ‘You’re right,’ and everyone stepped up their play.”

The comeback m atched the reco rd se t on Dec. 30, 1950, when Duke rallied from a 58-27 halftime deficit early in the sec­ond half to beat Tulane 74-72. The NCAA reco rd book listed the record as 29 points, but fur­ther research by Duke showed Tulane scored the first basket of the second half.

“When it went to 30, we just w anted to make it respectable and not lose our confidence,” Pitino said. “ I told them during a tim eout, ‘It’s not going well for us, everything’s going well for them . ... All you can do is show your character.’

“ I said, I don’t know if we can win this thing, but I know

we can give every ounce th a t we have in u s .’ And we k ep t m aking s tea ls and s tea ls and stea ls and then we s ta rte d to shoot the basketball well.”

K en tucky s c o re d th e la s t nine points of the game, taking a 96-95 lead — their first since it was 1-0 — on W alter McCar­ty’s 3-pointer with 19 seconds left.

Hill makes major impact for Duke, Muskateers rollAssociated Press

G ran t Hill sa id he took of­fense to his four-point perfo r­m a n c e e a r l ie r th is s e a so n a g a in s t V irg in ia an d C ornel Parker, its defensive stopper.

T he D uke s e n io r m ad e amends for his season-low total Wednesday night by scoring 25 points, g rabb ing 11 rebounds and handing out five assists as the s ix th -ra n k e d Blue Devils rolled to an 84-54 victory.

" I sh o u ld ’ve h ad 3 0 ,” Hill said when asked about Parker’s defense. “ I missed several easy shots.

“ I was aggressive. I w anted it. 1 w anted to get off early and be aggressive and let him know I was coming at him .”

Parker said he got the m es­sage.

"He sc o re d th e f ir s t fo u r points on me and then I could see it in his eyes, every time he got th e ball I h ad to r e a c t ,” P a rk e r said . "He show ed the type of player he is. Tonight 1 have to ra te th a t he w as the toughest player in the ACC I’ve guarded all year.”

Despite his outstanding s ta ­tistics, Hill still w asn’t satisfied.

“ I have yet, in my mind, put to g e th er a 40-m inu te gam e ," sa id Hill, w ho a lso h ad four blocks. "I guess striving for that keeps you going.”

The v ic to ry gave the Blue

Devils (18-3, 9-3 Atlantic Coast C onference) a o n e -h a lf gam e lead over No. 2 North Carolina, w h ich p lay s a t C lem son on T h u rsd ay n ight. Duke, w hich rebounded from a loss at Wake Forest on Sunday, has won 21 of the last 25 against Virginia.

A n to n io L ang a d d e d 20 p o in ts as d id f re s h m a n Je ff C apel, who tu rn e d in a solid game, playing his most minutes of the season because of a foot in ju ry to to p re s e rv e M arty Clark. The guard h it seven of his first eight shots en route to a season-high total.

Jason Williford led Virginia, which shot 28.8 percent for the second stra igh t gam e, w ith 14 points.

T th ink i t’s p re tty obvious the story was offense,” Virginia coach Jeff Jones said. "Duke’s w as ex ce llen t, an d o u rs w as awful.”

D uke t r a i le d 2 2 -2 0 w ith 11:28 left in the first half after the C av a lie rs (13 -8 , 7-5) h it three 3-pointers in a 12-2 run.

B ut th e B lue D evils o u tsco red V irg in ia 25-6 over th e f in a l 11 m in u te s of th e opening period, building a 45- 28 halftime lead.

Hill s ta r te d the ru n w ith a d r iv in g b a s e lin e d u n k an d scored eight points on a variety of shots while Lang added nine.

‘‘G ra n t w as s e n s a t io n a l . G rant w as everyw here,” Duke

coach Mike Krzyzewski said.The C av a lie rs , la s t in th e

ACC in field goal percen tage, came in shooting 37.7 percent over their last nine games. And while V irginia held its own in th e o p en in g 10 m in u te s , the Cavaliers h it the skids during D uke’s sp u rt, going 2 -fo r-14 from the field and 0-for-6 from the foul line with six turnovers.

Florida 91, Georgia 79

Craig Brown and Dan Cross each scored 21 points and No. 17 Florida routed Georgia 91- 79 on W ed n e sd a y n ig h t to reach the 20-win m ark for the first time since 1988-89.

F lo rida (20-4, 10-2 S ou th ­eastern Conference) trailed 40- 36 a t halftim e bu t w en t on a 31-13 run over the first 10 m in­u tes of the second half. Cross scored 11 points in the run af­te r scoring ju s t five po in ts in the first half.

Dametri Hill scored 13 of his15 points in the second half for Florida.

D athon Brown led Georgia (11-12, 5-6) with 18 points.

Georgia cut the gap to nine on a layup by B ern ard Davis with 7:13 left. Florida reeled off the next six po in ts to pu t the game away.

In th e se c o n d h a lf , th e Gators were 19-for-34 from the field (56 percent), while holding G eo rg ia to ju s t 45 p e rc e n t shooting. Florida outrebounded the Bulldogs 45-32.

Its the fifth tim e in school history the Gators have won 20 games. Florida, 1 1/2 games in front of Kentucky in the SEC’s East Division, is off to the best conference s ta rt in school h is­tory.

Purdue 67, Wisconsin 64

The gam e w as on the line and Glenn Robinson, Division I’s scoring leader, responded.

Robinson had 27 points and16 rebounds W ednesday night as No. 9 P u rdue w ithstood a

late 3-point assault by Wiscon­sin for a 67-64 victory.

“He really came out after his la s t gam e a t W isco n sin an d p lay ed s t ro n g ,” sa id P u rd u e coach G ene K eady, w ho h ad seen his s ta r struggle and make ju s t six of 25 shots w hen the Badgers defeated Purdue earli­er this season.

“ Great players are going to s tep up and accep t the c h a l­lenge, ” said Robinson, who had 13 of P u rd u e ’s la s t 17 poin ts and also had a big blocked shot down the stretch.

Purdue (21-3, 9-3 Big Ten) led 5 9 -4 7 w ith 6 :50 to p lay a f te r R ob in so n c o m p le te d a five-po in t p lay th a t in c lu d ed two free throws after a techni­c a l fou l c a lle d a g a in s t Wisconsin’s bench.

Andy K ilbride, who had 20 points, and Michael Finley, who had 19, then began finding the basket from beyond the arc for W isconsin (15-6, 6-6), w hich p la y e d w ith o u t f r e s h m a n R ashard G riffith, who m issed his second consecu tive gam e with back spasms.

Robinson, who came in with a 28 .5 av e ra g e , h it a b u ck e t th a t gave the B oilerm akers a 65-61 lead with 36 seconds left.

“ I had it in my mind th a t I was going to hit it all the time. I said I’m not going to let a guard stop me down low,” Robinson said.

A fte r F in le y m isse d a 3- po in ter, M att W addell hit two free throw s for the Boilermak­ers with 14 seconds remaining.

W isconsin coach Stu Ja c k ­so n , w ho h a d th e te c h n ic a l called against him, was critical of the officiating. His team took only fo u r f re e th ro w s , co m ­pared to 14 by the Boilerm ak­ers

American skiers shocking the world and themselves

Italian woman wins gold in lugeBy JOHN NELSONAssociated Press

RINGEBU, NorwayW ho a re th e s e A m erican

sk ie rs? W hat is th e ir secre t? W here have they been hiding? It’s a case w orthy of Scotland Yard.

“ I know the big question of th e d ay a t th e O lym pics is , ‘W h a t’s go in g on w ith th e A m ericans? ” U.S. gold m edal­ist Diann Roffe-Steinrotter said. “ If I knew, I’d tell you. I have no idea.

“If I knew , I could w rite a book.”

T hat’s ju st about w hat Euro­pean sports w riters are doing as they try to unravel the mys­te r ie s of a team m aligned a t h o m e a s u n f it fo r a n y th in g steeper than a Norwegian bar bill.

“People know that we w ere told we w eren ’t even going to m edal. I really shouldn’t have to say much about tha t,” Roffe- Steinrotter said.

Through two Alpine events at the Lillehammer Games, the U n ite d S ta te s h a s tw o gold m ed a ls — by Tom m y Moe in the m en’s downhill and Roffe- S teinrotter in the women’s su ­per-giant slalom — and the tra ­ditional ski powers are reeling.

“ For us, I th ink, getting to the Olympics and qualifying is the most difficult thing, ” Roffe- S teinrotter said. “ Skiing is not such a big thing in the U.S. We don’t have the pressure like the skiers from the other countries. Once we get here, it’s easy for us to ski.”

After a exclusive photo shoot with an Italian photographer at th e A th le te s ’ V illage on W ed n esd ay m o rn in g , Roffe- Steinrotter finally got a chance to relax.

If there was no pressure on the Americans coming into the Games, there is now.

America has never started a W inter Games with two straight victories in Alpine events, and only once has the United States e a rn ed m ore th a n two skiing gold medals. That was at Sara­jevo in 1984 when Bill Johnson won the m en ’s dow nhill, Phil M ahre won the m en ’s slalom and Debbie Arm strong won the women’s giant slalom.

Only once before has Amer­ica even won tw ice, and th a t was in 1952 at Oslo when An­drea Mead Lawrence won both the w om en’s giant slalom and slalom.

LILLEHAMMER, Norway Oh, great. The U.S. hockey

team is winless after two games for the first time in 10 years, its hopes for a m edal vanishing, and guess who’s dead ahead.

The Next One, Olympic ver­sion.

Paul K ariya, a 19-year-old who is the latest hockey-playing Canadian teen-ager to bear the burden of being the next Wayne Gretzky, m ust be contained if the United S tates is to finally win one Thursday night.

“ His skating style is sim ilar to Gretzky’s. He might even be a b e tte r s k a te r ,’’ U.S. coach Tim T ay lor sa id W ednesday. “And he loves to m ake plays. It's an accurate com parison.”

A lo ss to C a n a d a (2 -0 -0 ) would leave the Americans (0- 0-2) with ju st two points from three games, and second-seed­ed Sweden still to come. Losses to C anada and Sweden would fo rce th e m to b e a t lig h tly regarded Italy in their last p re ­liminary game to have a chance at the medal round.

Kariya, a V ancouver native who a ttends the U niversity of Maine, scored 100 points in 39 games and was the top U.S. col­lege player in leading the Black

Bears to the 1993 NCAA title.Five of his Maine team m ates

are on the U.S. team.“ If I ’d n e v e r se e n h im , I

m igh t be dum bfounded or in awe of him ,” said Garth Snow, w ho gets h is second s tra ig h t start in the United States’ goal.

A dded d e fe n s e m a n M att M artin : “ I’m used to hav ing him on my side. I wish he was on our side now.”

Kariya said facing his former team m ates “is a strange expe­rience.”

“ I t’s tough seeing them go down the ice when you’re used to cheering for them ,” he said. “The roles are reversed now.”

K ariya and linem ates Chris Kontos and Petr Nedved w ere NHL first-round draft picks.

“ T h at’s a p retty nice line ,” T aylor said . “ We have to pay special attention to that line, no doubt about it.”

Canadian coach Tom Renney said the best thing about Kariya is th a t he m akes everyone on the ice better. It’s another simi­la r i ty b e tw e e n K a riy a an d G re tzk y , th e NHL’s a ll- tim e scoring leader.

“Unfortunately, (teammates) are usually a half-step behind him ,” Renney said, “He thinks a n d p lay s a t a b e t te r sp e e d than anybody else.”

Asked if he had to change

his speed to play w ith Kariya, Kontos smiled. “You m ean, do I have to slow down for him ?”

“ Seriously, h e ’s very G re t­zky-like,” Kontos said. “ He sees the ice incredibly well.”

When he 's on the ice T hurs­day n ig h t, he m igh t see U.S. players trying to drill him into the boards... if they can catch him.

“ I hope that I get to hit him, that he doesn’t slip away,” said the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Martin, who hulks over the 5-11, 165- pound Kariya.

B ut K a riy a i s n ’t w o rr ie d about Martin, Peter Ferraro or the o th e r M aine m en on th e U.S. team.

“ I d o n ’t look a ro u n d an d say, ‘T h e re ’s M att.' If so m e­o n e ’s try ing to get u n d e r my skin, I don’t check to see if it’s Peter,” Kariya said. “When I’m out there, I’m focused on w hat I have to do.”

Odds are that the hitting will com e from b o th s id e s in a fierce, long-running rivalry.

“Canada is supposed to beat the United S tates because it’s su p p o se d to be o u r n a tio n a l sp o rt,” Canadian goalie Corey Hirsch said.

The U nited S ta tes is 2-8-2 a g a in s t C a n a d a in O lym pic competition, 0-3 since last win­ning in 1960.

Miami puts heat on Bulls, escapes with close victory

Rony Seikaly w as instrumental in Miami’s shocking victory over Chicago last night. The victory snapped a 17 gam e home win streak for the Bulls.

Associated Press

CHICAGOThe Miami Heat rallied from

a 21-point deficit by zeroing in on A ll-S ta r M ost V a lu a b le Player Scottie Pippen in the sec­ond half.

“ We go t to try a n d s to p Scottie Pippen. We set up as a team to stop the big-time play­e r s ,” M iami coach Loughery s a id a f te r th e H eat en d e d Chicago’s home winning streak a t 17 gam es w ith a 109-101 victory W ednesday night.

Steve Smith capped the Mi­ami rally from a 21-point deficit with 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter.

The Bulls’ last previous loss at Chicago Stadium was Nov. 13 against Boston. The Heat hand­ed Chicago its only other home loss on Nov. 6 and became the first Bulls opponent to win two r e g u la r - s e a s o n g a m e s in Chicago since 1990-91.

“We played great ball in the second half,” Loughery said. “ It w as a very physical game and

we w eren’t physical in the first h a lf . T he d e fe n se w on th e gam e.”

Pippen, who scored 18 of his 21 p o in ts in th e f i r s t h a lf , played the entire third quarter and was l-for-7 from the field and 0-for-2 from the line.

“As good as Scottie Pippen played in the first half, he was th a t bad in the second h a lf,” C hicago co ach Phil Ja c k so n said. “They got out and played good defense. Their big-guard lineup changed the game.

“ I was disappointed because we lost our poise, and we did not have th a t bold b asketball sen se . The gam e ended on a dismal note. This happens.”

The Bulls, after leading 61- 43 a t halftim e, scored ju s t 40 points in the second half.

W ith 5:55 le ft, S m ith ’s 3- p o in te r gave M iam i its f ir s t lead, 90-88. At th a t point, the Heat had outscored Chicago 47- 27 in the second half. The game w a s t ie d 9 2 -9 2 w h en M att G e ig e r’s du n k w ith 1:40 left

TAKE IT OFF

“She decided that she would stop wearing make-up for Lent.”

A few days ago, a friend told me about somebody who decided that, instead of giving-up candy and such things, she would not wear make-up during Lent. We laughed a little because of this unusual lenten “sacrifice”. Yet, in a way this withdrawal from cosmetics does signify what Lent is all about.

Many seniors know all too well about the value of appearing strong, successful and confident during a job interview. Many people here at Notre Dame know about the value of looking attractive at a party or a S.Y.R.. It is natural, to some extent, to care about how we look. The danger is that we spend our lives simply taking care of ourselves and trying to be desired by others. We hum an beings have a great need to feel desirable, and the great fear is that the “real you” and the “real me” are undesirable. So, bring on the make-up!

It is all too easy to pretend that we are people who we are not, covering- up people who experience pain, painting-over people who feel that they are undesirable, applying layers over people desired by a God who created them in G od’s own image.

The story of Jesus is the story of a person who called people turn away from a cosmetic lifestyle. He called people from performing religious acts simply in order to be noticed. Jesus called people away from a false sense of security that was based on appearances. He called people away from being absorbed with the way they appeared. Jesus announced the reign of God and called people to strip-off the cosmetics in order to uncover people created and desired by God.

In the Church, there are many practices which are meant to help us to remove the “make-up” of our lives. The ancient tradition of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving is meant to help Christians to die to the “pretend self’ and live the “true self’. The stations of the cross is another practice which is meant to help us strip ourselves of what keeps us from being like Christ. These practices are m eant to help us recall who we really are, people who experience pain and death. We are people who are afraid sometimes. We are people who sometimes discriminate against people because of the way they appear. We are people who are at times too concerned with the way we appear to notice the pain and suffering of others, whether they be across the hall or across the world.

Lent is a season during which Christians prepare to celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We too are called to join Jesus on this journey to the cross, a journey which may be painful because it requires

us to remove the make-up which we have attached to ourselves. Yet, a journey which leads to a life of freedom in this world, and beyond it.

Ultimately Lent is about the conversion from being a made-up self to being the God-made self.

W hat is it about us that stands between us and other people? Let’s try to let God remove it.

U nder all the cosmetics of our life, exist people known and desired by God.

Saint Mary’s snaps losing streakBy KIMBERLY BEROSports W riter

The Saint M ary’s basketball team can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After a disabling five-game losing streak, the Belles came back Tuesday night to defeat Goshen College 62-57.

The Belles’ record now stands at 5-12 for the year.

“Not only did we break our losing streak, but we won on the road, which is very im portant,” said head coach Marvin Wood.

This game also gave the Belles an opportunity to play in Goshen’s new athletic facility which opened its doors last month.

“They have a beautiful new facility. It was nice to play in,” said Wood.

The Belles were led by senior Anne Mulcahy, who poured in 24 points and hit six three point shots.

Sophomore Jennie Taubenheim, who has con­tin u ed to be an in s tru m e n ta l p lay e r for the Belles, finished the game with 21 points and 15 rebounds.

The Maple Leafs, now 6-13 on the year, were led by Dana Selzer who scored 19 points and Kristen Milton who added 12 points.

The Belles powerful defense was instrum ental in stifling the Maple Leafs’ shooting from the perimeter.

“We had a good defense for the most part of the gam e,” said Wood. “We controlled Goshen well. All of their baskets came from inside the

After winning game two, the now -confident and b o rd erin g on cocky Irish absolutely domi­nated the Spartans. Michigan S ta te w as on its h e e ls th e e n t i r e g am e , a n d th e I r is h refused to let up.

The Irish had m atch point on the Spartans in game four, but th en le t the gam e and m atch slip away.

Senior Tom Kovats was huge in th is gam e, re c o rd in g five kills and several blocks. At the end of the gam e, Notre Dame tended to stray from its game plan, failing to attack the vul­nerable middle of the Spartan defense.

“We tr ie d to m ix it up too much la te ,” com m ented Cepo­nis.

A both physically and m en ­tally exhausted Irish squad had little left for the Spartans in the deciding game.

More tim es th an not, N otre Dame settled for digs instead of spikes.

Nevertheless, it was a strong team perfomance.

“Everyone played their best,” said a dejected Matt Strottman. “Maybe we just got tired .”

“It hurts,” was all senior out­side h itte r Tom Kovats could say after the agonizing loss.

The Irish took S ta te to the limit but fell a little short. “We n eed ed a to ta l te am e f fo r t ,” coach Perrelli of Michigan St., “And we got one.”

Seles still not ready to get back into tennis groove

Jordan vs. Huff: The Mike debate beginsBy RICK GANGAssociated Press

SARASOTA, Fla.W hat m ore could M ichael

Huff do last spring to make the Chicago White Sox as a backup o u tf ie ld e r? He h it .4 2 6 an d showed speed and versatility.

But w hen roster cuts came, H uff h ead ed to N ashville for m inor league ball and his ro s­te r spo t w en t to Bo Jackson , who'd make a highly publicized and m iraculous recovery from hip replacem ent surgery.

Now H uff is d e a lin g w ith som e high-profile com petition fro m a n o th e r guy n a m e d Michael, and another guy seek­in g a m ira c le — M ich ae l J o r d a n , th e b a s k e tb a l l s ta r tu rned would-be baseball play­er.

“You sit back and look at it

and say, ‘This is M ichael Jo r­dan, one of the g rea test of all tim es playing bask e tb a ll.’ But then you look around and this is no t a b ask e tb a ll court, i t ’s not a basketball and w e’re not s h o o tin g f re e th ro w s ,” sa id Huff.

Huff has been as helpful as any p layer could be, trying to ease J o rd a n ’s tra n s itio n to a new gam e, one tha t m any say h e ’ll never be able to play at th e m a jo r leag u e level. H uff w o rk ed ou t u n d e r Com iskey Park this w inter with Jordan.

He said there’s no way he’d refuse help to Jordan, even if — in theory — Jordan could beat him out.

“ I be lieve th e m in u te you s ta r t back -stabb ing som eone, th e m in u te you sto p h e lp in g people who genuinely w ant to

learn, is the minute bad things s ta r t happen ing to you,” said Huff.

“Michael has been very gen­u ine an d s in ce re ab o u t it. If he’d come in mocking baseball with a beer belly, then someone would say something to him. ... I wouldn’t say anything to him.

“ I’m going to help him be the best he can be, like I did la s t y e a r w ith Bo an d E llis (Burks), getting them to learn the system, ” he added.

Huff admits the Jackson sit­u a tio n from a y e a r ago h as crossed his mind.

“ Oh, yeah , you c a n ’t help but think, ‘Here we go again .’ But hopefully I’ve done some th ings to convince the W hite Sox th a t I can be one of the guys they w ant on the team to win it all. ”

H erberich and Shim er left Will on the outside looking in W ednesday , w inn ing a tw o- heat raceoff in their shiny new Bo-Dyn sleds to earn berths in the two-man bobsled field. The first race is Saturday.

Will w en t firs t, th en H er­berich and Shimer. The order w as reversed for h ea t No. 2. D esp ite h is p ro b le m s , H e r­berich posted the fastest time on the first run, 53.19 seconds, edging Shimer by .09 seconds and Will by .20.

“The first run I hit the wall on (tu rns) 4 and 5, and also between 14 and 15,” said H er­berich , of W inchester, Mass. “ M aybe I w as p u t t in g too much control on the sled. The seco n d ru n I b a c k e d off as m uch as I could. It w a sn ’t a good thing.”

The e rra tic drive the firs t tim e dow n the tw istin g , 16- tu rn H underfossen track left Herberich unsettled.

“ I think I was a little over­confident of making it into the race ,” said H erberich, whose time in the first heat was the fastest of all 52 sleds p ractic­ing. “Brian and Randy w ere a lot closer than I had expected. I worry a lot, so I started get­ting a little nervous betw een heats and had to make sure I calmed myself down.”

Is it time for the Notre Dame m en’s basketball team to make a conference call?

Popular opinion says yes and the Big E ast C onference may provide the first serious oppor­tunity within weeks.

The Big East is considering expansion and Notre Dame and DePaul are apparen tly its top candidates.

A conference study, expected to conclude in the next three or four w eeks, is exam ining the possibility of adding the Irish an d th e B lue D em ons as basketball-only members.

Only six o f its 14 c u r r e n t m em b ers do no t co m p e te in football. The conference is also considering inv iting football- only m em bers W est V irginia, Tem ple, R utgers and Virginia Tech to compete in basketball.

That would give the Big East eight schools competing in both basketball and football and only six c o m p e tin g in b a s k e tb a ll only.

Adding Notre Dame and De- Paul as basketball-only m em ­bers would balance the scales and better protect the interests of the non-football schools, a source w ith in the conference said Wednesday.

But is it in Notre Dame’s best interests?
