By Mitchell Horowitz Stony Brook was given a mixed eva- luation by an independent academic team that reviews many col leges throughout the country every ten years. The Middle States Association opened it's recent 26 page study of Stony Brook by saying "The State University of New York at Stony Brook represents one of the more remarkable accomplishments in American higher education during the last quater-century." However, the evaluation team continued the report with a long list of areas that they felt needed minor to vast improvements. The Middle States' report is especially important to most American colleges because higher education schools must be reaccredited every decade to receive federal support and funds. The evalua- tion can be critical to a university to help discover it s strengths and weaknesses.

It is not fair to force students to pay for things that only a small percentage of the student population is responsible for." Other students disagree with this.

-By Alan Golnick Long lines aren't new to Stony Brook. Registering for next semester's classes > just wouldn't be the same without them, and that also goes for trying to catch the bus to South P lot from the Engineering Loop on a weekday around 5 PM. But to 4,000 students making up this year's graduating class, the lines they formed for last month's commencement march undoubtedly had an element of satisfaction. Speeches were short, and the rain that had been forecast never materialized. As relatives with cameras scrambled to photograph graduates seated on the at- hletic field, some members of the class of '84 passed around bottles of wine and beer. Lonnie Kaufman, an Anthropology major from Great Neck, delivered the traditional address given by a gra- duating senior. Lipman Bers, professor of Mathematics at Columbia University and one of five distinguished Americans awarded honorary doctorates by the SUNY Board of Trustees, was the com- mencement speaker. Bers addressed the need to recognize and condemn human rights violations throughout the world. Jeffrey Kaufman and Stephen Mer- noff both received the Ward Melville Valedictorian Award, as the gra- duating seniors with the most out- standing academic records during four years at Stony Brook. The main commencement was fol- lowed by departmental convocations and receptions. One remaining depart- mental activity, for the Allied Health Professions, is scheduled for June 24 at noon in the Health Sciences Center. Statesman /Matt Cohen Lave of ing' B ingsSeniors to0StmyBrook

V_:-- The Adventure Continues: I 11 Indlana Jones Returns to the Sllver Screen Wlth A Bang
by Scott Mullen Get out your felt hat and polish up your six- shooter- Indiana Jones is back in town.
4 If you enjoyed "Raiders of the Lost Ark," then "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" won't disappoint you. Harrison Ford makes a trium- phant return as the swashbuckling archaeolo- gist who never seems content with digging in ruins, unless there are dozens of bad guys swaruing around. -
Set in 1935, this movie actually takes place before "Raiders"; telling us, not to our surprise, that Indiana Jones will live through this one. After a wonderfully hair-raising opening, in which Indiana meets up with ditsy singerWillie Scott (Kate Capshaw), escapes innumerable baddies, and lands unscathed in India, the main plot starts. It seems that, down in India, there are these really evil cultists who have relieved a village of its sacred stone and its children. '
Indiana Jones to the rescue. He is joined this time by a small sidekick Short Round, a little Oriental boy with a Yan- kees cap, a chamming sense of humor, and a neat karate kdck Playing this role in a less hyper- active film, Ke Huy Quan might have stolen the film firom Harrison Ford. But this film doesn't v belong to the actors; it belongs to the non-stop action.
What makes "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" so wonderful is the fact that, like its predecessor, there is never a dull moment in the picture. Just when you think that it's safe to sneak off and buy some popcorn, boom! some- thing has you glued to your seat. Fantastic.

It is a story of moral uprightness, of baseball (as good) triumphing over evil- the bribery of players. Landis, the first commissioner of major league baseball, who was brought into the game following a 1919 scandal over a "thrown" world series where crooks paid off the Chicago White Sox to deliberately lose, would have been happy to see things tumed around. The movie concerns Roy Hobbs (played by Robert Redford) a "nat- ural" at baseball who, because of tragedy, enters the game in his late '30s and attempts to hang on. Red- ford plays Hobbs as a sort of Clint Eastwood with spikes- a closed, deliberate man who will do things his way. Hobbs catches on with the New York Knights, a team with a crusty manager (played by Wilford Brimley) who initially thinks that Robert Reador Hobbs' promotion to the majors is Mercy, who spends the film trying much to believe.
