HARRIS CLIVE DANIEL Evening Honor Society Installation Held

By Sally Berger

Alpha Sigma Lambda, the National Honor Society of Evening Colleges and Universities in the United States, has accepted 56 CLC students as new members. The installation dinner, held on Friday, April 12, was presided over by Fordham Graduate and President of the Beta Rho Chapter of ASL, at CLC since 1984, Morton Levy. Guest Speaker at the event was Fordham President Rev. Joseph A. O'Hare, S.J. The Beta Rho Chapter was established at CLC between 1971 and 1972 to reward students in Continuing Higher Education for academic excellence. The Chapter also provides for its members a forum for commercial and social networking through monthly gatherings and a directory. Fr. O'Hare addressed the guests on "Higher Education Today: The Perils and the Possibilities," but also spoke on the lighter side of being a "freshman" President when "the first year is full of firsts." Being a guest speaker at the National Honor Society dinner for the first time. O'Hare was not unfamiliar with the concept of non-traditional students, having taught in the Excel Program at CLC from 1973-1975. "It was a very informative and challenging experience to teach students who were not the traditional-age student," he said. "This is a very exciting and creative development in education: to recognize that it is a life-long experience." Following Fr. O'Hare's address.

he elections are over and congratulations are in order. The winners Tof this year's United Student Government elections have emerged from the most contested student body decision in years. We congratulate both the candidates and the voters of CLC for participating in an encourag- ingly democratic process. A word of caution is in order, however. The newly elected USG must learn from the failed experiment of the administration they replace. In a sense, no experiment can be a failure, as long as something is learned from it. But a USG administration certainly can fail. The new administration must act on what the experiment teaches us, or else it will follow hi the dismal tracks of its predecessor. Architects Of A CLC Community? We cannot say that, in the past year, the USG did not try. Essentially, they said: "Let's see if we can build a CLC community by throwing money "1-i at the problem." The attempt was a boondoggle worthy of the American military. The past USG bought us a $15,000 hammer, and for that much we should be thankful. But not for the price. On beer and music, mixers and comedy nights, the previous USG thought they could erect a CLC community. When the initial events failed to reach many CLC students, the USG. believed that more expensive entertainment would change things. It didn't. The same core of students attended both the economical and the ridiculously expensive USG events. But the USG never reflected on that constant. Never considered that students who were attending their events were doing so not because of the expensive enter- tainment they expected to see, but because of the fellow students they expected to meet: that the USG events did not create, but only reinforced an already existing community among the students that attended them. Parties are a way of enjoying a community, but they are not a means of reaching out and developing a larger community than might already ex- ist. The past year's USG found this out.. .after spending thousands of dollars of our money.

So we say to the incoming USG: Don't try to compete with the enter- Pltnlo B\ Doris Unfit tainments of New York City.

Desperately Seeking Susan is a delightfully fun- ny film in which Madonna gets a chance at least to expand her talents. Although a hit, this movie could have survived withoul Madonna's lack of professional acting.

Excellently directed by Susan Seidclman, this movie tells the story of two women: Susan (Ma- donna) and Roberta Glass (Rosanna Arquctle). Roberta is a bored suburban housewife whose hus- band is a wimp; Susan is a sexy new wave vamp who wants to have a good time. She is so racey, that the only way her on and off boyfriend can communicate with her is by placing personal ails in a newspaper. Lonely Roberta has nothing bet- ter to do than to read these personal ads, and is especially intrigued by the ones that Susan and Jim write to each other.

On April 3, comedian D.F. Sweedler appeared at the Pub as part of the recent Wednesday Com- edy Night program. Sweedler, however, had a short supply of good jokes in his 'bag-of-laughter'.

His style is to observe the audience for comments and feedback to add to his dialogues. Due to the holidays that were coming up. the audience was small; it was even smaller before the show ended. To motivate participation from the audience. Sweedler asked questions such as, "Do you trust doctors?" After some comments he continued. "Doctors leave utensils in people.

He loads his rifle and rallies the Ku Klux Klan around him, like -GENESHALIT, NBC-TV any Southerner would do, and the Texans resort to bullets and fire bombs in an attempt to drive the Vietnamese out of town. The Texans are all hot-tempered, the Vietnamese innocent and well-meaning; everyone ends up shooting at each other, but we never really learn why. As Shang and Glory, Harris and Madigan give stiff, forced per- formances. Harris, whose portrayal of Glenn seemed understated and completely natural, scowls and lurches around the screen as if he were always about to hit someone. Glory, on the other hand, is supposed to be a sensitive yet assertive woman, a bit more urban than the others. The contradictions of her character—her affection for Shang versus her contempt for his bigotry, for instance-are never fully explored. I suspect, though, that the blame for such un- convincing characterization should be shared between the actors and the weak script. Of the major characters, only Ho Nyugen's Dinh, an ambitious Vietnamese, is believable, probably because he has the least to say. Malic and Arlen are determined to make us see the conflict in black-and-white terms, as if racism and a depressed economy aren't easy enough to spot without the film's pointing them out to us. "The American government is protecting people all over the world," one of the Texans say without a hint of irony, "but you can't get protec- tion for any American. And that ain't fair." And when the characters aren't proselytizing out of the sides of their mouths, Malic and Arlen arc doing it for them-they've conveniently named Shang's boat "American Dream Girl" and Dinh's "Glory," and one Texan smudges "KKK" on a dusty wall, only to sec another smear it off. All this blunt symbolism, however, leaves us with no sense of right, wrong or justice done. Shang is a villain, but is his violent reaction ajustifiable human reaction, or simply an outbreak of bar- barism? Docs Glory have any qualms about sleeping with a married man, especially one who is n bigot? We arc given a set of protagonists who act very predictably, snouting rhetoric instead of telling us how JULIAN SCHLOSSBERO presents "MIKEY& NICKY" they really feel.
