Fraternity Crests To Be Removedby Mike M urrayTriangle Staff Writer

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania plans to sand blast the fraternity crests behind Nesbitt Hall because of the ap­pearance of the sidewalk. The University has no contingency plans. Fraternity Walk, between Nesbitt Hall and the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory has been home to the crests of Drexel’s fraternities for many years.

Major William Bozzelli, head of the 103rd Engineers Battalion stationed at the Armory, said that the sidewalk “ looks like hell” and that the Commonwealth will have the sidewalk sand blasted when the next vandal is caught.

Vice-President for Student Affairs Ar­thur Joblin said that he knew nothing about the crests being removed, as did Assistant Dean of Students for Greek Life Ron Kibbe. However, Bozzelli said that Kibbe and he had discussed the problem of the vandalized sidewalk a number of times. Kibbe, he said, told him that it didn’t look that bad.

Joblin contacted John Mueller, Director

of the Physical Plant, eight to ten months ago, according to Mueller. Joblin asked if the crests could be removed because “ some negative things have been painted out there.” Mueller told Joblin that the sidewalk was not Drexel property.

Joblin told The Triangle, “ All we want to do is present the most attractive campus.”

Bozzelli said that the walk had been cleaned “ about one year ago.” Drexel had been notified that the crests were not to be repainted. A recent Commonwealth inspec­tion of the Armory sited the painted sidewalk as a safety and appearance viola­tion. While the sidewalk must now be sand blasted, the State will not pay for the ser­vice. Bozzelli said that the next person caught painting on the sidewalk will be held responsible for the cost of having the work performed.

Mueller said that he would not provide a Drexel sidewalk as a new site for the crests should the Commonwealth remove them from their current location. Kibbe said that he would not be part of the process to select another sidewalk should the Univer­sity agree to provide one.

The Student Records (STU-RECS) system in the Office of Student Informa­tion and Records was down for quite a while on Wednesday, July 30. The help desk at the Office of Computer Services reported, “ It was extremely slow because Technical Support was working on it all day.”

Jan Krna, Associate Director of OSIR said that this was not the first such occur­

rence. “ The system goes down for re­generation once in a while,” she said. When asked if the problem was greater this time than on previous occasions, she responded, “ I would say, ‘No’.” The system is sometimes shut down for an hour at lunch time.

OSIR will be operating on a new time schedule beginning Monday, August 4. Previous hours were 8:45 am-5 pm and 5:45 pm-7:30 pm, Monday through Friday. The new opening hour is 10 am. The reason behind the later opening is that the office

will be handling paperwork before that time. They are presently faced with a backlog in transcripts from both the Spring and Sunmier Terms because of the down time.

OSIR will close at 4:30 pm, but will re­open at 5 pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This insures that Evening Col­lege students, who were previously push­ed to get to the office before class, will have more time. Closing time for the day is 7:30. Beginning in Fall Term, evening hours will be extended to all weekdays.

Alpha Phi Omega’s Red Cross Summer Blood Drive held on Wednesday and Thursday in Creese Student Center fell short of its goal. Blood was collected from10 am to 6 pm on both days. “ We always expect to collect less blood in the summer,” said one of the Red Cross Nurses on duty.

On Wednesday, the goal was 125 pints. Only 89 pints were collected; nine people were turned down for various reasons. Seventy-five pints were expected on Thurs­day n K )m in g . Only 54 volunteers had given before noon. The number of donors for Thursday afternoon was not available before The Triangle deadline.

Donation during the Red Cross visit in Spring Term was down because of a boycott by the Inter-Fraternity Association. IFA staged the boycott in protest of the University’s alcohol policy which prohibits IFA from serving alcohol on the volleyball courts outside Creese, while other organizaticMis, including SPA, were aUow- ed to do so. This term, however, fraterni­ty members were actively giving Mood.

Special to The Triangle \

In an attempt to improve] neighborly relations bet­ween the residents of Powelton Village and the twelve Drexel Fraternities, the IFA has drafted a frater­nity phone directory. Pat Curran, IFA Ambassador, and Dave Denenberg, IFA Public Relations Chairman, were to attend the schedul­ed PVCA meeting last Mon­day with copies of cover let­ters and phone directories, but unfortunately, there are no PVCA meetings during the months of July and August. Instead, several chapter presidents will be delivering these phone directories to their im­mediate neighbors. Pat and Dave will be attending the next PVCA meeting in September.

W a l k i n g a F i n e L i n eSo the state of Pennsylvania wants to

sand blast fraternity walk and the Univer­sity doesn’t have an alternate site available. Hmmm. We may just have the right idea.

At the beginning of the year the New York City Housing Authority razed a 15,000 square foot garden in the heart of Manhattan. The garden’s keeper was not amused, nor were his supporters. One, be­ing slightly more zealous than most of us, did something about it.

The man strapped a tank of purple paint to his back, led tubes to his shoes and went to work leaving purple footprints over 40 miles of Manhattan sidewalks. The police still don’t know who he is.

The Associated Press reported that “ As the footsteps have spread, so have theories to explain them. Some pec^le thought they led to a new art gallery; others suspected a fraternity prank.”

Well. Who need this unjustified accusa­tion? Drexel’s fraternities don’t even have a place where they can paint the side walk any more. Maybe this idea from New York could work here.

Fraternities could strap various paint

tanks to their backs (maybe their fraterni­ty colors or blue and gold for the school, maybe green for the grass and orange for the bricks). Soon after such footprints became noticed, the University might find a place for the fraternity crests.

However, perpetrators could be fined for defacing public property and would certain­ly be found guilty of bad taste if the colors clashed with the surfoce on which they were placed.

The fraternity crests have become such an institution here that no one remembers when the tradition was started. On our sprawing 43 acre campus the University should be able to accomodate the need for an alternate site for these crests. If the ad­ministration is concerned with the danger of people falling on slippery sidewalks, it coi^d provide a wall somewhere.

Certainly the plea of ignorance given by the Student Afifoirs office is no longer valid. Everyone knows that the removal of the crests is only a matter of time. The Univer­sity has time to find another site before the existing one is cleaned. It should act now.

Well, it’s almost deadline and the 14 col­umn inches that I’m supposed to fill are unoccupied. In order to hide the fact that I did absolutely no research this week, my comments will be limited to no more than three subjects.

This week, while I was sitting behind the heap of papers on my desk, an angry stu­dent infiltrated my office space earnestly seeking an arguement (my opinion). His battle cry echoed off the various pieces of debris, “ Why doesn’t The Triangle take a stand on the important issues of the day?” Wanting to satisfy this student’s need for debate, I thundered back, “ Oh, yeah.” Ob­viously stunned, he gulped and then said, “ Well, I mean, why doesn’t The Triangle write about apartheid, or Nicaragua, or the nuclear arms build-up?” My response was that I felt that The Triangle's duty was to try to cover topics relating to this campus. If we investigated and discussed concerns related to the University, then The Triangle would show its impact through an improv­ed Drexel.

Sure, we have opinions on world con­cerns, but there is no need for us to com­pete against a Philadelphia Inquirer or New York Times in providing world coverage. (He smiled at that point. I think it was because I mentioned The Triangle in the same sentence as the other two newspapers.) As the conversation ended, I offered to print the student’s views in a column or letter but he responded, “ Nah, I really don’t have the time.”

In a related issue, I wonder how many people use the Student Center. Between my time at The Triangle and working here as an Evening Supervisor, I see very few peo­ple using the facilities. Is it because the Creese Student Center doesn’t serve the needs of the students? What are the needs of the students?

Would a weekly dance party or a non­alcoholic bar bring more students in? Could

students justify the presence of the bowl­ing alley and gameroom if for some reason they were to be taken away? At present, the answer is an emphatic “ NO!” Only when these things are taken away will people complain. If anyone thinks he knows what should be included in a Student Center, then open your damn mouth now! Send a letter to The Triangle, stop by Mr. Tom Cassada’s office, or prepare to shut up when the in­evitable occurs.

In an unrelated matter, did you happen to hear that Martin Marietta is teaming up with all the Bell subsidiaries to bid on a government contract for new { ^ n e and data networks valued at *4.5 billion? Drexel, Conrail and the Department of Labor have all fallen victim to the “ MM Song & Dance.” At least MM has the business sense to go after contracts of increasing value. Any first-year business major can figure out that profit margins skyrocket when you get paid for doing nothing and then get paid more to stop working on the contract. Although it’s difficult to believe that MM has an ethics committee, I’m sure they’re hard at work developing a new com­pany slogan. Being the helpful person that I am. I’d like to suggest the following: “ If at first you don’t succeed, ask for a six- month extension;” “ If all else fails, don’t worry. We’ve made millions;” “ What ever can go wrong, will be blamed on somebody else;” “ Quality is our lowest priority” and “ A penny saved is another penny in our pocket” .

Topic Number 3.5 (Oops)- If MM got the food service contract at Drexel, we could call it Marietta Eating Service Systems (MESS).

For the period from July 1,1984, to June 1986, one of my responsibilites was to coordinate Transfer Student Programs. Decisions about the content and frequen­cy of those programs are made by the com­mittee on academically related programs whose members include representatives form O.S.I.R ., Admissions, the Dean of Students Office, and die offices of the deans of each college. Those programs general­ly involve a brief orientation and informa­tion sessions about essential University pro­cedures and assist new transfer students with the course selection process for the in­itial term at Drexel

There is a student organization which represents transfer students at Drexel, whose purpose is to facilitate the transition and adjustment of new transfer smdents to the University. Over the past three years the organization has become inactive, because adequate student leadership did not emerge and as a result interest in member­ship dwindled. Periodically a few interested students have attempted to resurrect the organization. Althou^ at times their efforts were successful, sustained student involve­ment and student leadership has been a lack

that the organization has not overcome.Although a Student Organization Advisor

to a floundering or defunct organization may make efforts to assist the organization to re-establish itself, generally advisors can not and should not attempt to personally assume responsibility for activities that the student organizations themselves cease to develop or provide for their constituency. When a valuable student organization ceases to exist at Drexel for whatever reason, the void created by its absence is felt most keenly by those whom the organization once served, who often were beneficiaries unaware of the countless hours of service provided by tfieir dedicated peers.

As of July 1,1986, Associate E)ean, Jane Stellwagen has re-assumed responsibility for the coordination of Transfer Student Programs, and has replaced me as Advisor to the still defunct Transfer Student Com­mittee. Students interested in resurrecting and re-establishing the organization, or discussing the needs of transfer students may contact her at 895-2506, in the Dean of Students Office, Creese room 215.

I am a Drexel University employee in the Chemistry Department. During my two and a half years here I have seen many ex­amples of mismanagement and general in­eptness. The most recent example I have seen bothered me enough to write in.

I play with the Chemistry Department softball team. On last Thursday, the 24th of July, our team arrived at die Drexel Field for our game. There was another game scheduled as well. We were informed that the Upper Field had been seeded and that no one could play there. So two games were played on the lower field. Our centerfielder was within ten feet of the other game’s centerfielder. One long fly from either game could have beaned a fielder in the back of the head. If this had happened, that player could sue Drexel University for a substantial sum of money. The intramural games are University sponsored and as such the liability would be the University’s.

I have heard that there is an employee paid by the University to coordinate in­tramural play. If this is so, how could this situation occur. Also, not once has the locker area been open at the fields during the games. If anything had happened, we would have had to track down a guard wasting precious time. As an undergraduate at Cornell University, I both played as well as refereed in the intramural league. Every single night, there was both a supervisor and an assistant supervisor to monitor equipment, organize the referees (which Drexel apparently does not deem necessary for intramural games), and to call emergen­cy units if the need arose by use of an emergency telefrfione.

At present, no serious accidents have oc­curred. Maybe Drexel’s luck will hold out. If not, we icnow why.

Problem: Drexel University facilities, in general, close earlier during the summer term than during any other term. Is this foir to our education? Is this fair to our pocket- books? Let’s see.

Example: During the summer, the library, gym, and Korman Center all close approximately one hour earlier every night compared to other terms. This amounts to a total of 21 hours per week or 231 hours per term (including finals week) that we cannot use these facilities. This amounts to a rough savings in energy of $400 per term. Divide this by the number of students and you get - wow! - a whole 12C savings per student for the entire summer term!

Solution: (l)Either keep the buildings open longer during the summer, or (2)give me my 12C. Personally, I ’d rather take choice number one.

The morning of Saturday, July 26, dawn­ed hot and sunny—dawned as in 9:30 am— and it promised to be a great day for the blues. This was the fourth annual Bucks County Blues'Society Picnic, an all-day party with five bands and all the food and beer you could consume from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. When the Blues Society says 11:00 showtime, they mean it. At precise­ly 11:00 the gates were opened, as were the taps and the grill. The day’s first act, Bluesman Willie, was tuning up with his band on the outdoor stage.

Bluesman Willie and his eight member band hail from New Jersey and they played a good mix of medium tempo and rockin’ electric blues. Their sound is very well balanced among a horn section, keyboards, a female backup vocalist, and of course, Bluesman Willie on guitar. The steady flow of partiers into the event entered tapping their feet to some good blues. Bluesman plays at Bachannal’s on 13th and South Streets most Thursday nights, so check him out.

Lxx:al favorite Flamin’ Harry came on next with blues standards such as ‘ ‘Queen Bee” and originals like ‘‘Smoking Bur­nouts on Your Face” which featured his wailing guitar and vocals. Harry is gain­ing a pretty wide local following and the crowd did the boogie. His set was cut short by lightning and rain but the beer still flow­ed and the party went on. Very few peo­ple left and nobody seemed to mind the rain, especially since the majority had tarps of some sort. An hour and a half later, after volleyball in the rain, it was time for the Uptown Rhythm Kings from D.C. to do their blues repertoire. They were helped in this effort by former Nighthawks lead guitarist Jimmy Thackery showing his mastery of the electric guitar.

After Uptown the show went south, to Louisiana to be exact, with Buckwheat Zydeco and his band. This was a good time down home band and the crowd was hav­ing fun and so were the performers.

^Buckwheat played the accordian and it I seemed at times like the beer barrel polka meets the blues. The combination worked well, and since the rain had stopped and

[the beer and smoke hadn’t, we were all iving a really good time.After all these great bands the main act le on, Elvin Bishop and the Elvin Bishop i, which consists of the Nighthawks ex- for Jimmy Thackery. They did a good

lix of Nighthawks and Elvin Bishop iterial, some hot blues featuring Pete igusso on harmonica and Elvin on lead litar. These two split the vocals between lem with Elvin singing and jamming the iits from his “ Hot Heaven” ^bum among

lers and the man with the tattoos, Pete, >ing a wide selection of Nighthawks*

ssics.I When they ended at 7:30 it was time to

ible to the cars for a slow ride home ith tired smiles on our faces and the blues : our souls.

The Most Fun You Can Have With a Dollarby Joe CaraccioloTriangle Staff Writer

Well let me roll on up to the sidewalk and take a look here. Wow! It’s beautiful! I’m talkin’ about The Saloon in Berlin in picturesque rural South Jersey. The Saloon is located on Route 73 South just before the Berlin circle. This establishment is quickly becoming a cornerstone for reasonably-priced rock-and-roll entertainment.

The Saloon sports two good-sized bars, a rustic decorum, and a perfectly located stage. The workers are Mendly and effi­

cient in their duties and the atmosphere pro­motes a much greater sense of humanism and involvement (not that I am attacking some of the other very plastic and imper­sonal nightclubs down the road on Routes 73 and 70). A live band, and usually a very good one, plays every Tuesday through Saturday, and Monday is classic-rock night with a DJ playing old favorites. Other at­tractions include a Ladies Night on Tues­day that includes 25C drinks (8-11pm) and no cover for the ladies, a Surprise Night on Wednesday with 25C drafts (8-10pm), and WYSP Night on Fridays with a Hot Tan Bikini Contest— the winner receives

a trip for two to the Bahamas. Special prices on Thursday nights include 25C drafts, 50C bottles, and 50C drinks (8-11 pm).

I might be slightly biased in my opinion of The Saloon because I just started going there two weeks ago, and I have been there nine times since. I love the place! After the first night I had the feeling that I had found something unusual and exciting, a club that gives you your money’s worth. The seem­ingly miniscule $3 cover, which you don’t have to pay if you get there before 9:00 on a Friday or Saturday, opens the door to a great night of entertainment possibilities. You can sit at the bar and simply down a

few, you can enjoy the live band and ex­cellent acoustics, or you can take in whatever is being shown on one of the three color TVs— yes, there are even a few video games. The mozzarella sticks aren’t too bad either. You just have to get out and see for yourself what I have been talking about.

You know as well as I do that most reviews are full of false advertising and misrepresentation. Also, since this is my first review for an official newspaper, I re­main open to criticism. However, give The Saloon a try if you get the chance. The doors open at 8:00— maybe I’ll see you there.
