The MuIota Chapter of Kappa Sigma was suspended by the ad ministration following conflicts bet ween the fraternity and the Gallaudet Greek Council over pledge procedures. According to the guidelines set in the suspension, the fraternity will be denied official recognition by the Col lege until the measures are lifted. However, there is some disputes as to whether the new Kappa Sigma Fraternity Pledges, who went through their probation last October, should be denied recognition in the Tower Clock yearbook as well. TC EditorinChief Leslie Saline has requested that a press release be printed to clarify the situa tion. The Greek Council has also advised the Tower Clock staff not to include Kappa Sigma Fraternity material or photographs of the pledges in the year book. However, Saline emphasized that more student opinions were need ed before a decision could be made. "Tower Clock has talked with Stu dent Affairs, Student Body Govern ment, the Greek Council and the Inter Organizational Council," stated Saline, "But students don't hear much about it." "Student Affairs feels that we should not permit the new Kappa Sigma members to be in Tower Clock..[but] It is the students' year book, not the Administration," stress ed Saline. Saline mentioned that two years ago the Phi Kappa Zeta Sorority was also suspended by the College but was not excluded from publication in the yearbook. "They [adm.] claim that Kappa Sigma is not cooperating they forget that it is the students' right to appeal." "We heard one side, but hadn't yet heard the other side," said Leslie, the TC staff felt that we should go ahead and print but we felt that it would be better to check with students and see how they felt...TC asked many students and the response was yes, Kappa Sigma should be printed."

Probably the hottest issue for this week is centered on the injustice and unfairness in disciplinary actions against the classes of '87 and '88 by the Student Congress last night. For the record, both classes, as we have learned, proceeded with their traditional activities (Tree Night and Banner Night respectively) the same day they verbally agreed to 'postpone' to a later date with the S.B.G. and Student Affairs (for reasons of safety). The Student Affairs gave the disciplinary actions responsibility to S.B.G., of whom they hoped would take the most appropriate actions against those two classes. However, the two classes seemly 'got away' with it after the lenient Student Congress decided to establish a three-person committee to fully investigate this matter which will take time and delay actions. Nevertheless, the committee is also composed of two members of '87 and one member of '88. Therefore, it is our genuine feelings that they got off the hook as easy as pie. We strongly recommend the Student Affairs take appropriate actions whatsoever (a suspension, for example) to discipline them - or otherwise perhaps future events are in jeopardy of endangering one's lives... what a shame. And it is not only that, the Student Congress has also approved of three parties of which one of them sounds perfectly acceptable which is the "Welcome Back Party. " The other two, which is the Homecoming 'get together' party solely for it's committees and the other is a party for the Student Congress themselves. Where do they think they get the money for those events? Doesn't the H.C. committee think of a more creative way of 'knowing' each other... and further, does this Student Congress even deserve a party? We honestly think that the Student Congress should otherwise have an "appreciation" day - not a party. It boils down to the question, what is Student Congress? A party seeking board who passes every party that comes to the floor? Associate Editor Letters The Buff and Blue Room No. 333, Ely Center Gallaudet College Washington, O.C. 20002 Laura K.

The Buff and Bine is drcalaltd wcekiy except dnriof f i u i exaauoadon periods and the Dear Editor, I am writing you as the assistant director of the Youth Leadership Camp at Swan Lake Lodge in PengiUy, Minnesota. The camp is specifically designed for our America's Deaf youth leaders. We are exceedingly proud to announce that this coming summer will be the eighteenth anniversity of our wonderful program. The purpose of this well-operated camp has been to promotf and encourage young student leaders to develop and utilize their leadership abilities. We try to encourage them to be effective and productive leaders for the future. Unfortunately, a serious and deceivingly rumor is circulating around the greater deaf community. They may have heard that the YLC program has been indefinitely discontinued because of the fact that the Swan Lake Lodge was sold to a new owner. That is not so: the camp is very much alive and well. The land has been sold to a new owner but the quality of the camp program will be its usual high level. I am requesting that you share this information with the deaf community in your area, the prosceptive campers, and your brothers and sisters, or relatives who may have been misinformed by the rumor. I truly appreciate your attention and assistance in this matter. Sincerely Yours, Ethan A. Bernstein P.S.

What was the issue that started the American Revolution? Representation. Many students have been hearing that they will not have a representation on Conmiittees 'B' and ' C in the proposed Faculty Senate By-Laws. The rest assured that the SBG is doing everything it can to make sure that students will have their voices on these committees. The reason that there are currently no provisions for student representation on these committees in which several faculty are concerned that the students are not taking their responsibilities seriously enough. They stated that the student representatives have not been showing up on an irregular basis. This lack of attendance seriously impairs the ability of these committees to function. I have been told that several times the committee meetings have been cancelled due to a lack of quorum when the student representatives did not show up. As you can see, the main reason for not having student representatives on these committees is due to a lack of participation on the students' behalf. In some ways, this is a justifiable reason, but speaking from my own experience, those committees tend to pick meeting times that are not always accommodating to the students' schedules. In order to preserve student rights, I have been in contact with various faculty and several administrators. Dr. Ingold, the new Provost, King Jordan, the current Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and I are very supportive about having student representation of committees 'B' and ' C I have also been corresponding with Truman Steele, the current Chairman of the Collegiate Faculty, who has informed me that as of the present, the proposed Faculty Senate By-Laws do not allow student participation. My reply is as follows: representation is very important. Erwlosed is a copy of "Statetrtent of Student Rights and Responsibilites" which states, on page 1 Article 1 Section C, that "the student body shall have clearly defined means, including membership on appropriate committees and administrative bodies, to participate in the formulation and application of the institutional policy affecting student affairs. The concern of students, however, legitimately extends beyond what has normally been considered student affairs. Their interest in academic policies, for example, is a development to be encouraged bearing in mind the teaching-learning context of the College community." lam not sure exactly where the statement came from, but it is something that a body of scholars would approve of in their attempt to provide students an education not only within the classroom, but in the course of everyday life. In light of the above, 1 am hoping that you will take our concerns to the faculty and urge them to reconsider the idea of student representation on Faculty/Student committees. 1 am hoping for an early solution to this situation, because as my duty to the students, 1 will endeavor to the best of my ability to ensure that students will have a voice in determining the future of their education. I will await most eagerly your reply and am hopeful about the outcome of this letter. Most Sincerely Yours, Scott E. Bailey, SBG President being proposed by the Board of Trustees. Now it's time to raise our voices. It's time that we students take our responsibilities more seriously, otherwise all our efforts to keep representation will have been in vain. Keep in mind that Gallaudet will become a University, and we now have the opportunity to ensure that future students will be allowed to a voice in their education.

He puzzled why the money has spent too much to P.E. Patrick Costello, S.C. representative, explained that P.E. should get more money.

The "aged kids" (older students) had great fun behaving like kindergarten pupils at the "adjustment" class which was held at Merrill Learning Center last Tuesday night. Folded paper planes whizzed across the classroom. Small rolled paper balls were tossed at each other. Laughing, joking and teasing were made toward poor harrassed "teacher" Ida Vernon. Ida began to wonder if the "adjustment" had become more of a "misadjustment." She suspected she was made a scapegoat in a imagination of what aged kids would portray as their regular teachers at the campus. Soon as the class began to die down and settled into serious discussion about their feelings and reasons for their coming to Gallaudet. Discussion went something like this: "I attended Gallaudet as a prep in 1%3, but soon I became disillusioned because I did not know what I really wanted for my future career. At that time, there was no Career Center. So I left and got married and raised three children. Years later after I got divorced, I tried to attend hearing community college.

Representatives from three most influential student organizations, the SBG, Tower Clock, and Buff and Blue have gotten together to discuss mutual concerns. These concerns deal with Organizational Rights, Working guidelines etc. The representatives, Gabe Valdivieso (SBG), Leslie Saline (T.C), and Laura Genrich (Buff and Blue) have decided to meet once a month or more to discuss any concerns that may arise. In order to ensure that issues are handled efficiently, they are in the process of establishing guidelines to protect these student orgaizations from confusion, favorisism, bias, and corruption. The reason for establishing guidelines and monthly meetings is that, often in the past, organizations that were not officially recognized. The Buff and Blue is a newspaper organization in which it is separated from the Tower Clock. The Buff and Blue can print anything that they feel it is appropriate and news worthy. The Buff and Blue cannot be stopped by any organization including the Tower Clock. Remember, the Tower Clock is an independant yearbook organization. By establishing guidelines and monthly meetings, three organizations are hoping to be able to work together more effectively for the advantage of the students. Dancing at "Die Jim" To commemorate the installation of a new 24' by 12' hardwood-sectioned dance floor, tonight the "Ole Jim" is sponsoring a Disco Night, from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Mike Kaika, coordinator of alumni programs, explains Alumni House and the alumni programs office decided to put in the dance floor at a cost of approximately $1500, because of several reasons. Each year, the "Ole Jim" has several reservations for wedding receptions, which always request a dance area. In addition, many alumni "have often said" there should be dancing available in the "Ole Jim" for sponsored events, such as the annual Homecoming bash. College Women's Expectations (CPS)~Though college women know sexist barriers to their success after college exist, they still tend to harbor career expectations that don't take those barriers into account, several new studies indicate. In a survey of women who have been in the workforce for at least 10 years, Kansas State Prof. Evelyn Hausmann found "most women initially think they will be rewarded mainly on the basis of merit, but many of them realize later on this is not true." Moreover, Hausmann observed, about two-thirds of the women surveyed felt women were as prejudiced as-or more prejudiced than~men. And in a separate study, CalBerkeley work-and-family researcher Anne Machung discovered that 40 percent of the college women surveyed expected to earn as much as their partners, and 13 percent said they would earn more. Machung, citing current labor market statistics, contends these hopes are uiu-ealistic. The Berkeley women expected to May Be Too High, Studies Say take from five to 13 years off their jobs to rear families, though Machung thinks interrupting careers for full-time motherhood will be more difficult than today's students believe. "The crunch will come when they find it hard to drop out of the labor force" because of the need to have two incomes to support a family, she explains. Dropping out of the careers many women now start can put the women at a distinct disadvantage upon returning to work, she adds. Fifty-seven percent of the women Hausmann surveyed cited family obligations as obstacles to greater career success. Even the Berkeley women who expected to avoid such troubles weren't sure how they would do it, Machung notes. "Women are confused about how to have kids and continue jobs." In a separate study in which men and women were interviewed for up to three hours, Machung found all the men assumed women will quit jobs to tend children, and both sexes expect The Buff and Blue April 25,1986 I»«ge5 nELUS women to do more of the domestic chores and most of the childrearing. "Men and women are confused about what egaUtarianism means in marriage," Machung observes. Capital Cities/ABC Renews Captioning Contract Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. has renewed its captioning contract with NCI and will provide several hours of closed-captioned programming each week. Currently, ABC-TV sponsors part or all of the captioning cost of "This Week With David Brinkley," "Mr. Belvedere," "Fortune Dane," "The Colbys," "Hardcastle and McCormick," "The FaU Guy," "Growing Pains," "Benson," "MacGyver," "Spenser: For Hire," "Ripley's Believe It.Or Not!"

The most incredible performance in N.B.A. history was witnessed last weekend. Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls scored 49 and 63 points in two straight games against the Boston Celtics in Boston Garden. Jordan, who was playing in only his 16th and 17th games after coming off a broken foot injury that sidelined him for 64 games, scored on a variety of shots against a variety of players. Jordan who was third in the N.B.A. in scoring last year, his rookie year, seems to be even better now. Jordan scored over Robert ParishBoston's 7 foot center, Kevin McHalewho has the longest arms in the N.B.A., Larry Bird-who is supposed to be the greatest all around basketball player of all time, and around Dennis Johnson-the best defensive guard in the N.B.A. for lay-ups and jumpshots from everywhere. Jordan is a one-man show for Chicago who wouldn't have made the playoffs, had Jordan not come back from his injury. Chicago has many players who people have never heard of. The only one who is a decent N.B.A. player is found Orlando Woolridge. I think Jordan is the greatest player in N.B.A. history, not Larry Bird. Jordan almost single-handedly brought one of the N.B.A.'s worst teams to the level of the best team ever-Boston. (Chicago lost the second game of the playoff series 135-131 in double overtime.) Jordan has averaged 8 assists a game in his one plus years in the N.B.A. passing to no name players. Bird gets his assists passing to people like Robert Parish, Bill Walton, Kevin McHale, Danny Ainge and Dennis Johnson. Jordan scores more points than Bird and plays much better defense. 1 can't wait for next year to see how much better Jordan will get. It seems like every year Jordan gets better and better. When Jordan was a high school sophomore he was a mediocre basketball player. By the time he was a senior, Jordan caught the attention of Dean Smith and was recruited to North Carolina. As a freshman, Jordan helped North Carolina win the National Championship. Each year in college, Jordan improved his game. After his junior year when Jordan announced his intention of turning pro everyone thought he wasn't ready. But Jordan proved them wrong. He was the star of the U.S. Olympic basketball team that won the Gold Medal in Los Angeles. And last year he was an All-Pro as a rookie. This year he averaged 43 points a game against Boston in the playoffs. Who knows how good Michael Jordan will be next year? I won't be surprised if he breaks Wilt Chamberlain's record of scoring 100 points in one game. The women's track and field team won the Gallaudet Invitational held Wednesday, April 16th.

Parker was a bad example for children and he doesn't deserve one cent of the deferred payments. He should be forced to pay back to Pitt sburg the money he received between 1979 and 1982. Former Pittsburg manager Chuck Tanner is backing up Parker. Tanner thinks Parker deserves the money. For what? Parker will pro bably go out and buy another 5.3 million dollars worth of drugs. The majority of the Pittsburg fans will probably back the team. They don't like Parker! They think he is a robot. They used to throw batteries at him. Parker once said that he was so good "I should be paid just to walk around here!" This is no athlete! This is the biggest crapshooter since Alan Sussman!! Parker should not only be banned from baseball, but also from the planet Earth!! The Buffer Q. Manute Bol of the Washington Bullets had 25 block shots in the first three playoff games against Philadelphia. Can you name the per son who holds the record for a five game series? ■IB3/C jsBi uoisnoH ;sure3B sioqs 62 p35i30iq uojBa ^m^ s.qBja 'V %8c Italian ^tlla photo by Mitchell Berger Quote of the Week "Gallaudet's ba seba ll tea m plays like old men" by Jamie Lowy on why the Gallaudet's girls' softball team is more exciting than the Gallaudet men's baseball team.
