Mudd Library At this time of the morning, the library is nearly devoid of bodies, but like studious Hansels and Gretels, students have left a trail of books stacked high on the carrels in anticipation of their inevitable relUrn. The carrels provide more than just study space. Through graffiti notes, postcards, and car­ toons, they prove to be an ideal outlet for students to air their frustrations, bare their souls, or poke fun at a vulnerable target. jack Kerouac's On the Road shares a carrel with a hand-written note asking "You can dream reality, but can reality be a dream?" A harried " Trekkie" left a postcard warning "Control systems out. Navigation out. Direc­ tional systems out. I am so confused." Often the carrels become wooden dichotomies. A History of Our Time, an issue of Congres­ sional Quarterly, a cartoon featuring a com­ mencement speaker saying, "I know so much I don't know where to begin," and a book on Pascal and theology comfonably share space in the same second-floor corner. Subtle signs of some intense studying are scattered throughout Seeley G. Mudd. A tube of Crest and a toothbrush, leaning against a copy of Great Stories by Henry james, are the tools of a student in for an extended session. Drawn to the natural light, a woman studies conversational Russian near an upstairs window. Her concentration is momentarily interrupted as three friends drop by for some conversational English.

LAWRENCE TODAY The discussion cemcrs around an impending trip to a downtown florist to order bouton­ nieres for Friday's formal dance. ''I'm going to park outside," says the Russian (major) student. "It's getting too nice to be inside." On our way out of the library's front entrance, a sign at the electronic gate asks poetically, "Will my discs go floo if I take them through?"

11:30 a.m. Stephenson Hall "In Richard ll, the crown makes the king. What else do clothes, as imagery, do?" asks joel Dando, assistant professor of English, of his Introduction to Shakespeare students. The camera can barely keep Dando in its frame as he moves to and from the chalk­ board. He is animated and so well versed in Sh:;akespeare's prose that he spe:;aks extem­ poraneously. His students have caught his enthusiasm-they respond to his questions with eagerness and thought. "They hide as well as show." "They're temporary." "They establish a person's identity and his role." The chalkboard is filling up quickly as we quietly duck out of the room.

Eric Edberg, preparatory program cellist, and George Damp, associate professor of music and university organlst, accompany. Suddenly, Rick Bjella, assistant professor of music and conductor of the choir, stops his singers. He had forgotten to tell them how absolutely wonderful they sounded at last night's rehearsal. Concentra­ tion gives way to smiles.

LAWRENCE TODAY !.15 p.m. Younghild Hall " Hey, where are you going?" we shout to Sub Richman, professor of biology, and his Ecological Energetics students as they mill around a motor boat trailered and parked in back of Youngchild Hall. They're off to near­ by Lake Winnebago for two or three hours to take samples for their woplankton feeding studies. ''Science is fun," someone shouts as we photograph the group in their floating laboratory.

2 p.m. Campus Green OK, it's agreed. It is simply too nice to be indoors. Larry Longley, professor of govern­ ment, convenes his Introduction to Political Science class on the brick plaza in back of Main Hall. Most of the students wear shorts, kick off their shoes, and bake in the sun as they listen to Longley explain the seniority system in Congress. In front of Main Hall, Mahan Chehrenama, '88, tosses a Frisbee to a friend against a backdrop of small circles of students enjoy­ ing the weather, each other's company, and perhaps a book or two.

2,40 p.m. Downer Commons Lawrence's biomedical ethics program has brought to campus for a few days a group of renowned international physicians, ethicists, and other professionals for "Guidelines for Non-Treatment Decisions: An International Working Conference." In Downer Commons, we stumble across Joel Reese, '89, interview­ ing Helcen Dupuis, professor of bioethics at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands, for a paper he is writing on cross-cultural attitudes toward public displays of emotion

"God Bless the Editor: The Thrills and Frustrations o f Editing" is the title of today's Main Hall Forum, a weekly lecture series. Marc van Rooj, a guest speaker from Katholieke University, Leuven, Belgium, Bert Goldgar, professor of English, and Dan Thylor, professor of classics, share their experiences with interested colleagues and studems.

They'll dine on prime rib at candle-lit tables and later boogie to a local band 'til the wee hours.

7 p.m. Colman Hall This year's final meeting of the Downer Forum has convened in the Women's Resource Center. Students Amy Miller, Laura Barreras, and Lynn Bebeau remind each other of tomorrow's lecture on the relation­ ship between contracepcion and abortion by visiting ethicist Heleen Dupuis and discuss a film recently sponsored by the AIDS task force. They make plans for a "Women of Promise" dinner for next fall's freshwomen and review the forum's financial report. Meeting adjourned.

7:25p.m. Buchanan Kiewit Center One of the many tangible results of the recent Lawrence Ahead capital campaign is the college's recreation center, the Buchanan Kiewit Center. Watching a good number of students, faculty, administrators, and staff enter and exit the building throughout the day, one wonders how everyone managed without it. In the pool, we find Reed Bartlett, '91, conducting a kayak lesson. Squeaks, shuffle sounds, and occasional grunts from the racquetball courts and weight room let us know that others are exercising as well.

When­ ever an especially young-looking one saw something along the road-a cow or peasant-he raised his AK47 to his shoulder, aimed at it, and mouthed the words "pow, pow, pow." The look in his eyes I'd seen before, not behind a little kid's my gun, but in the waukesha South High School locker room before a Friday night football game. The stakes were much higher here, but the mental­ ity certainly was not. lWo figures appeared on a hill some distance away. All heads turned in their direction, wondering if they were con­ lras. The young cub with the grenade launcher pointed it at them, and an argument erupted over whether a grenade could reach that far. I turned to the young soldier standing next to me at the rear of the truck. " Is it dangerous to travel with the soldiers?" I asked him. He shook his head no. "Aren't the contras here?" "Yes," he said. "They travel around here in small groups.'' " Won't they attack the truck?" Sensing my anxiety, he smiled and pointed down at a row of bullet holes in the rear drop door of the truck. "Look," he said. "This one's already been attacked. But mostly they attack at night." He said he was 19, but I didn't believe him. He said he had only four months left in his two years of military service. He confirmed for me that his small group had seen a bit of action, but he did not want to talk about it. The officer-the one with the stripes ' on his shoulders-looked like he might have been 19, because his stubble was a little thicker, he was taller and more Mere children, at /6 and 17, have accepted combat and death as everyday duties in filled out.

I considered putting myself right up behind the driver's cab. I finally plopped down on top of my backpack at the rear of the truck, duck­ ing my head beneath the side walls to avoid any pot shots, and away from the barrels of these children's guns. They always kept their long, banana-shaped bullet dips in place, and I didn't trust even one of them, much less a dozen, to have his safety on.

Te young men in their ragged uniforms-with their bronzed faces and sun-streaked hair-had intrigued me since the warm evening just before Christmas 1985 when two of them greeted us at the end of an ali-day boat ride across the bay from El Salvador. Standing above us on an abandoned wharf, they were my first glimpse of revolutionary Nicaragua. It is these young men-and women­ upon whom the Nicaraguan revolution has bred and fed. For the young in Nicaragua-where a majority of the population is under 20-the 1979 revo­ lution has been and will be the greatest event in their lives. It was a brisk awak­ ening after the Somoza dictatorship had held their people down for more than a half-century. It was a chance to gather their dust-covered, patriotic pride from under the bed and run it up the flag­ pole.

I waited two long hours there with perhaps a dozen others, but not one moving thing came down the road toward Rama except a man riding a horse. At 3 p.m., an army jeep went past in the other direction, the driver's rifle resting at ready across his lap. At 3:30, a long military convoy came along, armored cars and troop trucks trailed by long, olive green semitrailers. The trailers were loaded with boxes stamped with pictures of w ine goblets and blue arrows pointing 'this side up.'

And by con­ tinuing to build a prosperous world with an expanding economy, we even­ tually will be able to address a number of the problems that many of us feel very strongly about, such as develop­ ment in the poorer nations, the restora­ tion of growth in Latin America, the integration of Pacific Rim countries, the resolution of Europe's economic diffi­ culties, and, ultimately, how to compete effectively with our Soviet counterparts. I have great faith in our abilities and tremendous optimism about the future, and this holds regardless of whether the Republicans or Democrats win in the fall. I have no doubt that the Democrats too will recognize that the future lies in the approach I have outlined. We are a nation built upon openness. We are diverse, we have taken in foreigners for years, we have taken in foreign investments for years, and we have done nothing but profit from it, as all of us know.

According to Steve Syverson, dean of admissions and financial aid, ' 'Not only has the number of student applications increased dramatically, but the quality of their secondary school preparation is measurably higher." The 329 freshmen expected on cam­ pus this fall will join 846 upperclass and transfer students for a total enroll­ ment of 1,175.
