Tower Clock Announces Plans to Print
Kappa Sigma
Vandalism
By Katherine DeLorenzo
The Tower Clock has announced
that they intend to proceed with plans
to print the Kappa Sigma Fraternity's
organizational article and photographs
of the Fall 1985 pledges in the upcom­
ing edition of the yearbook.
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."
Saline attended two Greek Council
meetings to discuss the situation with

THE VOICE AND EYES OF THE GALLAUDET COMMUNITY NINETY-THREE YEARS OF SERVICE
"
Is Student Congress Lenient?
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?

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

No Student Representation?
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.

Gallaudet's ''Aged Kids" Tell their Tales...
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. I soon began to remember
Gallaudet and 1 missed it. I came back
here to try again. I found a lot of improvement and there is a Career
Counseling Center. Now I major in
Art Work and Art Therapy. I have my
son who is now attending MSSD. I am
learning to become more and more independent and I am glad of my

Organizationalrightsconcerns: SBG &
T.C. & B.B.
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

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.

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.

Baseball excitement is coming back!!
Pete Rose is coming off the disabled

years old plays like a 32 year old. Rose

Williams is expected to be a high first

Xhe Pittsburg Pirates announced
some good news on Monday!! They
are going to court to block the distribu­
tion of 5.3 million dollars owed D ave
Parker in deferred payments. ■
The reason? Parker used cocaine
when he played with Pittsburg and it
affected his play. D uring the drug
trials last year of several former Pitt­
sburg baseball players Parker admitted
using cocaine between 1979 and 1982.
Parker spent most of those four years
on injured reserve or was overweight.
Parker, who now plays for the Cin­
ciimati Red says that he wants people
to leave him alone now. I say forget
it!! 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!!

Bullets had 25 block shots in the first

Philadelphia. Can you name the per­
son who holds the record for a five
