SEPTEMBER 25, 1998 Our The Artist's VIEW RENDERING Borough, SRU best of friends? Dilemma over zoning part of larger student-resident problem Slippery Rock, plain and simple, grew too fast. And when we say "Slippery Rock," we don't just mean the borough nor do we mean only the university. Rather, each of them grew at a rate and speed which was uncomfortable for the other, and that problem is really coming into focus today. tf&k At the opening of the Heritage Festival last weekend, both Slippery Rock Mayor Pat Madden and SRU Presi- dent G. Warren Smith spoke of how the festivities — held on the lawn in front of North Hall — were demon- strative of excellent town-gown relations. Both the bor- ough and the university work well together, allowing something like the Heritage Festival to take place each year, Smith and Madder said. And they're correct University officials and borough officials may coop- erate effectively to ensure that good, promotional ideas — like the festival — get pulled off. In the most strict of terms, this institution — founded by the residents of the borough over 100 years ago—exists in harmony with its surrounding neighbors. At least that's what the officials say. But events like the Heritage Festival and other uni- versity-community events (like the upcoming Paint-the- Town day), are largely just for show. The true town-gown relationship is much less amicable. Take Tuesday night's special town meeting at the borough building, in which angry residents com- plained of absent landlords, loud parties and un- enforced zoning regulations. You'll quickly see that things aren't necessarily honky-dory inside the bor- ough limits. While residents said they weren't necessarily angry with the students who have moved into their quaint Your family communities within the community, they said they are upset with landlords in absentia who knowing- VIEWS ly allow eight students to live in a residence built for four people.

And former SRU professor Henry Lenz — who rents fault, student says My students almost always conclude that apartment space to students—thinks that in all of this compliance with this basic law is nonexistent zoning mess, that students are being unfairly treated.

Known as the "Olivier of the Latino world," Edward James Olmos is an individual flowing with talent and creativity. Olmos recently starred as Abraham Quintanilla in the much-antici- pated Warner Bros, feature film release of Selena. In 1996, he starred in the ABC minis- eries Dead Man's Walk. Olmos was honored with a Golden Globe Award and nomination for an Emmy Award for his work in HBO's The Burning Season, the story of the Brazilian political activist Chico Mendes. In 1988, he received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Jaime Escalante, the eccentric but dedicated math teacher, in Stand and Deliver, which he also produced. In addition to his Academy Award nominations, Olmos won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Lt. Castillo on the popular television series Miami Vice. He is also the executive director of the Lives in Hazard Educational Pro- ject, a national gang prevention program funded by the U.S. Dept. of Justice.
