LO'velioy Talks o'n Nuclear. Power

Approximately 200 stUdents and faculty filled Kidde AUditorium on March 14th to hear Sam Lovejoy explain his views on nuclear power. Mr. Lovejoy, a leader of the Clamshell Alliance and spokesman 'for the national opposition to nuclear fission, addressed the audience for three hours.

Lovejoy described the situation in 1974 that led him to USe non-violent civil disobedience to oppose the construction of a nuclear power plant in his hometown, Montague, Massachusetts. He said that the utility company manipulated the system of local government to prevent the public from gain· Ing enough Information to decide if they wanted nuclear power. Lovejoy portrayed his destruction of the utility's 500foot tower as a means of delaying the utility'S manipulative tactics and raising public consciousness about nuclear power. He said thet civil disobedience was only necessary when the POliCY process failed

to take account 01 Individual rights.

Lovejoy characterized nuclear fission as "unhealthy, unsafe, uneconomical, and unnellded." He touched on a wide variety of issues InclUding the problems of lOW-level radiation, fuel ,costs, waste disposal, genetic damage, and apologetic sclenliflc stUdies such as the Rasmussen Report.

SlUCO Election Results

The STUCO Internal elections were held Sunday night Maroh 12th. Running for the different offices were Mary Lemanowicl: for president, Lou Biondo for vice president, Ed Najmy, Skip Farrell and Rick Castro for treasurer, Cindy Hughes and John Mulanl for secretary. Both Mary Lemanowlcz and Lou Biondo

During the question-answer period, Mr. Lovejoy acknowledged that nuclear fusion might satisfy energy needs, but noted that the experience of nuclear fission suggests that teChnOlogical promises must be treated skeptically. Much of the debate between the audience and speaker focused on Mr. Lovejoy's political explanations of energy developments. were running unopposed and were subsequently elected. Sl<ip Farrell won the election for the offioe of treasurer and Cindy Hughes was elected to the post of secretary. Forthosewho wish to contact any STUCO officers, their box numbers are: Mary Lemonowicz 812, Lou Biondo 62, Skip Farrell 367 ,and Cindy Hughes box 603.

As can be seen from the picture on page one, the STUTE internal elections were held this past Wednesday. The managing editor, Nancy Pertowski '79, and the business manager, Tom Majcher '79 are both the same as last year, The only change' has been in the position of editor-in-chief, and it is from this position that I, Dave Straube, would like to introduce myself. I hope that with this change in staff the Peter Principle is not being justified. In any event, I shall do my best to point out some things which could use some attention, critiolsm,or suggestion. Any response on your part to the editorials will be more than welcome,

The past president's forum, though mildly inf<!rmative, was just like many of the past. I'm sure many people had that feeling of deja vu, just as I did. Outside of a few different faces eaoh time, its always the same core of students who carry the questioning. And often the questions return to issues Which have been worked over prelly well in the past, Very often I hear complaints in the dorms or wherever, yet most of these never come to light at the appropriate time. The forum is the ideal place for airing a gripe or at least pUlling someone on the spot. Take advantage of It.

Another bad thing about the president's forum Is that most of the answers to questions are very long-winded. It seems that regardless of the importance of a question or of the amount of time one would think is necessary to answer it sufficiently, the answers are of uniform length, and long at that. The most notable praotitioners of this bad habit are Dr. Rogers and Mr. Lunghard. This need not be so. In situations where questions are given over to others, they are answered concisely and without any excess verbiage. HopefUlly the president's forum can be conducted on a more "to the point" basis in the future.

Mrs, O. Landsman (Health Service)

Dear Editor, The letter I wrote two weeks ago was meant to raise questions that I felt needed answering. I have received many oomments bcth pro and oon to what I had to say. I thank all of the people who came up to me this way. Several people told me that I was wrong in my statement conoernlng the $1,100 allotment to the class of'78, that not all of this money would cover losses on the recent danoe. This is fine, but why aren't these "minor" details made pUblic?

I would like to address one problem that I ignored last week, simply because no one likes letters that get too long. I am referring to the Senior Class Trip to Jamaica, a private affair for seniors, that will cost approximately $320 each. I can see the glamour and excitement that such an event offers. I would go if I could afford it. That is the very nature of the problem. Not many peopie, after spending four years of money to get through this plaoe and having years of educational debts ahead oan afford it. It would be much better, and fairer to ali, to offer an event with a more modest price tag, so that all seniors can get Involved If they so desire.

Since criticism without

suggestion is pointless here are several alternate proposals, gathered from several of my friends, that would be better suiled to the average wallet:

1. A vaoatlon at a more modest looale. The Poconos was one idea. A several day trip to a mountain resort lodge would be ideal. The mountains In May are wonderful, with hikIng, boating, canoeing, golf, tennis, etc. If the Catskills are preferred, fine. Several good night clubs are uptherewlth big name acts appearing regUlarly. Or go to the beaoh. The first casino open Memorial Day In

2. Why fly? This proposal ob· vlously goes with the one above. Private cars are o.k, if you have them, but a better Idea would be to charter a bus.

3. A night on the town, This one Is my favorite. For $80 each, the class could buyout the best restaurant In Manhallan, a section of the audienoe at a Broadway play, and end up partying till dawn at the best night· olub in town. Quile an evening all in alii imagine; dinner at Top

The lack of student attendance was partly due,to the fact, that the concert was not very well publlciled beforehand among the student body.

Grey Lady Down

by Sam Goll '78

A nuclear submarine is approaching its home port at Groton, Conn. On board are two captains, for whom this cruise has been very important, one is on his final cruise before retiring, the other will take his first command when the boat reaches port. The sub surfaces in a forbound sea to cruise Into port with all flags flying.

Meanwhile, a supertanker cruising toward New York has lost its radar. The tanker rams the sUb, and sends it to the bottom with 50 men trapped. alive. The code phrase "Gray Lady Down" is sent to all ships and the Navy mobilizes for a rescue attempt.

So much for plot, because "Gray Lady Down" does not have much more to offer. It Is anolher offering, this time by Universal and Walter Mirlsch, in the class of film known as aclion, suspense, or "disaster movies". As with all such films, the movie specializes in a super

caSI with great special ellects thrown in to hide a dlsllnctlack of dialogue. '

The super cast.is headed by Charlton Heston, as the retirIng captain and Stacy Keach, as the head of the rescue attempt. Heston, of course, Is good in spite of some of the 'drlvel he has to say. Keach is military ali the way. Playing' nicely against him is David Carradine as the renegade mini-sub designer. one crucial poinl, Carradlne rejacts Keach's handpicked sub pilot for his pwn assistant (300 Ibs. of fat) played by Ned Beatty. The d ialogue good here.

The dialogue gets bad In some other places. In one scene, the wife of Heston Is told to Qreak Ihe news 10 the wife of the new captain. Aller 30 seconds of the women slarlng at each other, the new wife blurts out, "It's down, Isn't it?" The scene shifts Inslanlly, and neither woman Is seen again. Great Stuffl

As I said, this lack of verbiage is hidden amidst spectacular

"Duckey" Baseball Season 'Predicted '

All pre-season signs point to a seoond oonseoutlve winning season for Wally Whittaker's baseball team. The Duoks are oomlng off a good 8-5 year and are basloally the same olub they were last spring. ButWhlttaker, who will be the Teoh skipper for the 11th year, has some reservations on how his team will end up in May.

"I'm oonfldent we'll have a good year. We have some talented players baok and r feel we played some excellent small oollege baseball last spring. At our level of baseball, however, things are very unpredlotable. Injuries, sore arms, a hit or error here or 'here can often ,determine what your season could turn out to be."

Although Whittaker Is not goIng completely overboard on his club you can sense his anticipation of the season. The Ducks will get the jump on previous Tech nines when they make their first ever trip to Florida, Maroh 18 for spring training, a move that should get them ready for 'thelr opener against Ramapo on March 28.

At that time there Is little doubt who will be on the mound for Stevens. Senior Bob Torre is a definite starter' for that game. The bull-like righty Is ready for' his best season. Torre, who led the nation in e.R.A. (.90) for N.C.A.A. Division III colleges last Year, figures to be even !':: more stingy this spring. His performance on the mound and at the plate last year were major reasons Stevens did as well as they did. Torre not only won six games' and threw three shutouts, but also hit .387 and was a legitimate long ball threat. He Is what is commonly called a franchise player.

Senior John Jarboe, will be giving the signals for Torre. The wlrey catcher can rifle the ball16 assists on 12 steal attempts and pi ok offs - and had his best hitting year at Stevens (.309) as a junior. He Is asound defensive reoelver.

The rest of Stevens up the middle defense also looks capable. Greg Kovaos, a senior will be In oenterfleld where he covered a lot of 9round last spring. He Is a three year veteran. Whittaker also has both sophomores, Mike Reg'an, and Don Hamadyk, ready to go at second base. Regan seems to have the edge for e starling berth. Regan's partner at shortstop will be junior Bob Scholz who looked good In the field at third base lastsprlng. He handled 59 chances at the hot corner for a .932 fielding average. His ability to iead Stevens in the field Is considered important intangible by Whittaker.

The first base situation is clearly in the hands of Tom Palilonis. The rangy junior proved to be a capable man with the glove and also hit a ton In his varsity debut. Palilonis batted .435 and hit In all but two games. He also had a 10 game hitting streak. His counterpart at the other corner of the diamond could be rookie Dan McMahon. a Junior or Torre when he's not hurling.

Dan Dosch, a senior should again be tha left fielder unless freshmen Glen Cipriani"or Nick Bonnell, prove they have the sticks to move any of the returning outfielders out of a starting spot. Dosch did a lot of the little things that helped'Stevens win, games last year. Right now right field is open because Junior Tom Pierce, who was slated to be there, is recuperating from an injury. When Pierce returns he should give Tech some addi· tlonal punch at the plate. Cipriani. Bonnell'andjuniorTim Sweeny are allpossibilities in right field. Sweeney, Is a

knowledgeable, heads up type player.

With e relatively estebllahed line-up the only question to be answered concerns pitching depth. Whittaker hopes juniors Pete Tymus and Glenn Restivo will be able to back upTorreand give Stevens some ,dependable relief work. Their college baseball experience Is not extensive but they both have potential.

Stevens wfll be looking for Improved overall hitting and continued tlghtfleldlrig'toagaln get on the right side 01 .500, according to Whittaker.

"We are basically a singles type club and we have to consistency throughout our line-up to score runs. I also plan to run when We can. Our fielding must be as good as it was last year for us to have a winning. season,"

After tl)eir, home opener the Ducks play 13 other games' 'including two Independent Athletic Conference twinbills against N.V. Poly and N.J.I.T.

TECH Tennis Team Optimistic for Spring

As It is with most sports a1 Slevens, every year Is a rebuilding year. This year Is no exception with the Tennis Team. With only 3 singles players returning and a slew of first-year players on the roster. Coach Mykulak has quite a job ahead of him. He musl find six singles'" players and three reliable doubles teams from a 14 man lineup. Last year's results show the need for dOUbles teams which can always win matches and take pressure off the singles players. Last year's matches were usually lost by the time the doubles matches were played, Butwith a few experienced players and singl'es and a lightened schedule, a winning. season is awaiting the team.

will probably belong to another fresh man Dan Fridsma. The doubles teams will not be predicted now as Ihey must be determined from pairs of players whose games tyIesh together the best and not from rank on the team. But vying for those important spots will be senior Marc Hirschfield; juniors Bill Mussell, Marc Tellier., Mark Seymour and Steve Wilson; sophomores George Conti and Terry McGovern and freshman Pete Sasso.

Delts Victorious

, Last Thursday night, Delta Tau Delta and Beta Theta PI met In Walker Gymnasiu'm in a contest that decided not only the IFC basketball championships, but also who would bring home the coveted All Sports Trophy, With both houses being separated by just 10 all sports points in the standings, a Delt win would secure them'thls year's trophy while a Bate win WOUld tie them for first place.

The teams battled evenly for nearly an hour and a quarter but after the old bUilding had quieted from the frantic final momenls, it was the Delts who had brought home both crowns with a 45·38 victory.

Led by the inspiring performance of Pete Tymus, who

came off his sick bed to score 16 points and grab numerous rebounds, the blue broke open from a 19-19 halftime tie to take a commanding 9 pt. advantage with minutes toplay. But three straight long jumpers by Chuck Ryker capped with several Delt turnovers narrowed the gap to 3. Th Is was the closestthe Bates could come as the Delts scored three important baskets of their own. one each by Tymus, Joe Zahuta and Tony Massoud, The lead was never seriouslyconlended threatened in the final minute as the victors employed a successfu I stall.

Kingspoint Overturn.s Tech

All winning streaks must come to an end. The Stevens Tech bowlers had their 33 point winning streak stopped lastSunday by a tough Klngspolnt team. The best the Ducks could do was to take three out of seven points, Dropping four points In one match this late In the season serves to throw a loose bolt in the teem's plan for a major combeback in the league's standi ngs,

The Tech momentum was almost stopped completely after coming up with a rare tie against Kingspoinf in the first game, The Ducks managed to take the second game bul fell short in the third, losing total wood at the same time. Team

captain Junior Matt Kuzel rolled a 220 for team high game and senior Art Belsiada has a 216639 for high setles,

These losses on Sunday will drop the team down a notch in the standings to ninth place. Stevens' next match will be against either Brooklyn or Queens, both presenting a formidable line up. While the Ducks have IIltle chance of placing very high In the standings, they will altempt to win their last five matches which would give them as impressive second half record and a hopeful outlook towards nexl year.
