Faculty Protest Pub Expansion
by Christine Federico Plans to renovate McGinley Center have spurred protest from Rose Hill faculty mem- bers who oppose the idea of expanding the Ramskellar at the expense of the bookstore. History Department Chairperson Robert Jones has written a letter of protest to University President Rev. James Finlay, S.J. "It takes away space that the bookstore needs to operate properly," said Jones, "Also, the renovation can be accomplished this summer, and, if the drinking age goes up & J* $ to 21, the school would have a smaller / J bookstore and a pub that most people could not use." Lawrence Kohl, also of the history department, said, "The bookstore needs to be enhanced and not cut back. Making it easier to buy beer and harder to buy books is something the University should not be in- volved in. It symbolically gives out the wrong messages. I talked to Joseph McGowan, dean of students, but his bread is buttered on the other side. His office is not intere.ste.tLin, . academics. It is interested in .keeping the. students happy. It is like the Lombardi Cen- ter being open a few more hours than the library is, something is wrong with priorities." Both professors seemed to be an- noyed that the University did not consult teachers. The faculty found out about these changes "through the grapevine." If all goes as planned, the University bookstore will give up 1700 feet (from the Cliff-notes and music section to the back wall). This section plus the bookstore storage room will become the pub, which will hold approximately 150 people. The wall in the second alcove away from Saga (the sitting area on the right hand side of the Ramskellar) will be knocked down, so that the pub will be connected to what is now the Ramskellar. Everyone will be allowed in the Ramskellar but will be proofed at the en- trance of the pub. "The main reason for this was the entire community realizing you cannot have the room for food service and as a pub," said Assistant Dean for Campus Activities Michael Sullivan. He noted that with the in- creasing boarder population, a larger food service area was needed. Also, he felt that ireworks blaze above Keating Tower at the height of Spring Weekend activities last Saturday.

What Has USG Done? 1983-84 USG STUDENT DIRECTORY by Steve Lalli What kind of job has Rose Hill United Student Government accomplished over the past year? "I think probably more can be done'' and "They still got a way to go'' were typical responses of undergraduates this week. Security, evaluating the Student Ac- tivities Council, the status of the Multi- Cultural Awareness Committee and a delayed student directory were issues USG faced in 1983-84. While some students favored the manner in which former USG President Daniel Madden handled these con- cerns, others offered criticism believing that USG does not go far enough to address student needs. "I think for the first time USG made students aware of the security problem at school," said former Weekend Activities Committee chairperson Mary Galligan, FC '84. USG submitted a list of security im- provement to administrators in September following the stabbing of a student in Walsh Hall. Physical Plant subsequently repaired Rose Hill fences, added student patrols and installed emergency telephone call boxes. However, some students criticized USG's role in an outdoor rally held in back of the Administration Building following the ABOVE: The status of the Multi-Cultural Awareness Committee and a delayed Student Directory were stabbing incident.

by Melissa Goodman The bus stopped at Rose Hill this pasl weekend, too bad it couldn't stay longer. In their final appearance of the season, the Mimes and Mummers presented Bus Slop by William Inge, They did a superb job. The play, a drama set in the mid-1950s, is most commonly recognized by the movie version starring Marilyn Monroe as a Hollywood-bound honky-tonk showgirl who gets involved with a raw-mannered rodeo cowboy. Under the direction of Lance Hewett, the Mimes brought Inge's play back to its original form; a two-act drama set in a small, roadside diner on the outskirts of Kan- sas City. The plot revolves around the events of one night, in which a westward-bound bus is stranded during a blizzard. At this "bus stop" the lives and relationships of the eight- character cast explode in a revealing, humorous and emotional display of human fears, desires and personal growth. The main attraction of the storyline cen- ters around the battling romance between Cherie, an Ozark-born showgirl and Bo Decker, a wildly zealous young rodeo star who, after being "familiar" with Cherie for a night, decides he wants to bring her back to his Montana ranch as his wife. When Cherie Bus Stop leads, sophomores Mary Winter- refuses to marry him, Bo abducts her and roth and James Joy. forcibly carries her onto the westward bus.

by Andrew Mola When I write a review, I am usually very critical about every little thing. Two weeks ago I saw Bronx- born comic Robert Klein at the Lehman Arts Center, and the only critical thing about the entire evening was the fact that it was raining outside. Klein's performance was exuberant. His ability to integrate song and comedy made the benefit show more than just a moderate success. Although Klein used bits and pieces of his older material it blended well "with his newer repertoire. He joked, as always, about his marriage to an opera singer, his high school and college days, and his paren- ts in Florida. Klein told stories of the stupidity of the students of his alma mater, DeWilt Clinton High School. "We were so dumb that the band couldn't read music, so we played by colors." Of his college life, he told of the times that Nazi students would chase him and about his family who struggled all their lives and now live in Florida in a place called "Section 16."
