Carper who was first tested HIV positive in Dec. 1986 now calls himself an “AIDS activist.” Through his activism, Carper speaks to students and other groups as well as lobbies for improved federal AIDS support and health care. Carper spoke about the lack of interestoftheAmerican public in discussion and education of AIDS. He felt thiswas evidenced in the poor turnout of the UPJ campus to hear him speak. However, he did feel that the announcement of Magic Johnson testing HIV positive will help people become more aware of the situation. He said that soci- ety will now realize that not only homosexuals and intravenous drug users are susceptible to contracting the AIDS virus. Carper asked the audience what could be done to create ”safer sex” at UP]. The group discussed the need for 24-hour condom access through ma- chines in discreet places such as bathrooms and laundry rooms on campus. Carper challenged the two Student Senators present, Lisa Cofield and Carol Dugent, to petition the university for this addition. Cofield stated that she could not commit herself at the present time because of her po- sition as a resident staff member. She said that she would have to speak to Jacob Stiffler, director of Residence Services before taking part in such activities. However, Dugent promised to bring it up at the next Student Senate meeting. According to Carper, 1 94,000 American have AIDS. See ‘AIDS’ page 4 Tuesday, November 19, 1991 the official student newspaper of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Pitt adopts crime policy Lora Hershey News Editor The University of Pittsburgh has adopted a policy regarding the reporting of crime on campus in accordance with new federal legislation. According to the Crime and Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1 990, colleges and univer- sitiesarerequiredtoreportcrimes committed on campusthat ”pose athreatoradangertothe campus community, and where timely warnings would serve to deter similar incidents.” This law went into effect Sept. I . Pitt's policy consists of the publication of “Crime Alerts” and ”Crime Notices” to the campus . community. Accordingtothe policy, Crime Alerts are issued when a murder, rape, aggravated assault or rob- bery occurs on campus and the crime ”creates a threat of imme- diate physical harm to faculty, staff, or students, and the likeli- hood of repetition is such that a report is necessary to aid in the prevention of similar occur- rences.” The policy states that Crime Notices will be issued when bur- glaries or motor vehicle thefts “suggest there is a risk of repeti- tion... and there is no reason to fear immediate physical harm to any member of the community.” when crimes are linked to a specific location on campus, there will be signs posted at that loca- tion, according to the policy. According to a bulletin re- leased by the University, the alerts and notices will not be issued ”if, in the judgment of the official in charge of security and public safety at the campus, the crime is not considered to create a threat to the campus community.” Thomas Wonders, director of Auxiliary Services at UPJ said that it has been Public Safety’s prac- tice to inform students fo crime patterns through resident direc- tors and resident assistants. Wonders said UPJ will post alerts and notices "when there . are criminal acts or activities on campus, and in judgement of the people responsible for security and Public Safety, there may be some (cri me) pattern developing.” Wonders added that the first crime notice issued concerned the theft of mountain bikes on campus. The reporting of crime statis- tics on campus also falls under federal legislation, but Wonders said that state law has required Pennsylvania colleges and uni- versities to report statistics‘ for a number of years. Crime statistics are reported annually in the Auxiliary Services newsletter, Wonders said. Public Safety, Richland police follow different procedure at UPJ Missy Stammely News Assistant According to Public Safety di- rector Kevin Grady, Pitt-Johns- town Public Safety officers are also state police officers and have different rights and privilegesthan Richland police. All of the Public Safety officers have attended the Pennsylvania State Police Academy and many have part-timejobs as state police officers. Grady also said that since Public Safety is the “main pro- tector of UPJ,” it has more privi- leges than the Richland police. According to Grady,Public Safety can search anyone going into any UPJ facility, whereas Richland police aren't allowed to randomly search people due to state regulations. Regarding room entrances and searches, Grady said that Public Safety officers are allowed to en- ter any university room or build- ing without knocking or an- nouncingwhothey are. However, as a courtesy, the officers usually do both. Grady also said that officers will only attempt to enter a room if they have probable cause. For instance, the loud noises of a party, a request from‘ a Resi- dent Director or Assistant the belief that someone’s health is in danger, or a violation of state law, will prompt Public Safety to enter a room. According to Grady, once in- side a room or building, Public Safety officers have the right to inspect any campus property (re- ' frigerators, ceiling tiles, etc.) be- cause they belong to the school, rather than the student. However, in order to search drawers, desks or personal be- longings, Public Safety officers need the consent of of the owner. If the owner does not give his/he_r consent, Public Safety has the right to secure the room, call the police, and request a search warrant. Grady said, however, that what officers look for isusually in plain view, for instance, a keg of beer, and a search isn't necessary. According to Grady, Public Safety has the right to confiscate ‘A anything illegalthat they find. According to the Student Handbook, “University officials reserve the right to enter for in- spection, maintenance or restorement of order.” I However, if Richland police find illegal behavior during one oftheirdailycampus patrols,they do not need to contact Public Safety before they make them- selves known or arrest someone. NOVEMBER 19, 1991 New method of evaluation needed to ensure accuracy As we approach the end of the term, professors are adding up their totals to determine the performance of their stu- dents. Finals are just a few weeks away and anotherterm is almost in the past. Our grades will tell us what professors felt we deserved for the amount of work we did. Unfortunately, this system isn't bilateral. Teachers can determine a grade for stu- dents which can ‘ultimately affect their future, but students do not give their pro- fessors a grade for their teaching ability. At the end of every term, professors hand out evaluations to their students, ‘with which students can tell the deparment head what they thought of the class, the material covered and the teaching ability of the professor. These evaluations eventually make it back to the instructor, who will hopefully improve teaching methods or leave them the way they are depending on student response. Joseph G.

(Photo by Amy Ney) Mindspeak with Queensryche James Cubeta Staff Writer Queensryche's performance at the Cambria County War Me- morial in Johnstown Nov. 1 I was, in a word, exceptional. From the first chords of "Resistance" to the final strum of ”Silent Lucidity,” the band's knack for flawlessly reproducing their material was displayed in full force. Add to that a phenomenal stage and a receptive audience and a great show is delivered. "We started off on tour in Eu- rope [on] Oct. 25 of last year," explained bassist Eddie Jackson in an interview with the Advocate. Now in their _I3th. month of touring in support of their "Em- pi re” album, Queensryche is get- ting ready to wrap things up. "We're working our way toward the end of the year and...we’re going to finish the tour in Seattle on New Year’-s Eve and New Year's Day,” said Jackson. One would think that, after being on the road for 13 months, returning the favor, since ”Em- pi re" wasthe album to push them into Top 10 and headline status. Moreover, the success of ”Silent Lucidity” firmly established the band's place in the mainstream. Ironically, the song's success took Queensryche by surprise. ”When you think you_ have a good song and you think radio might pick it up, they never do. I know we're nota radio-oriented...band, so, from now on, whatever hap- pens — happens. We can't just sit there and wait.” Monday night's show offered a generous sampling of “Empire” as well as songs from previous albums. The most impressive segment of the concert, however, was the performance of the entire ”Operation:Mindcrime” album, which is something that Queensryche may neverdo again. With four full-length albums and only a two-hour show, it's difficult, according to Jackson, to pick which songs to play. "First of all, you're out to promote the new album. You want to play as many songs as you can. Plus the “I know we’re not a radio- SCI‘ mt fig": oriented...band, so, from now on, ’Mindcrime' in itsentiret ,that’s whatever happens - happens.” . wholey hour. Then we got to _ work around the Eddle JBCKSOII other albums. bassist for Queensyche We ‘'3”'‘*‘‘ We should at least the tour is becoming monoto- nous. Jackson responded, "Yeah, it’ s a long time, but you gotta get out there and push the album.” It seems like Queensryche is play the most recognizable tracks. But, hey, if we had a chance to play more songs, we would.” with the exception of the "Mindcrime" set, Queensryche played only two songs from its older albums: "Walk In The Shadows” from ”Rage For Order" and ”Roads To Madness” from "The Warning.” Additionally, Queensryche played "Last Time In Paris," which can be found only on the soundtrack for the movie ”The Adventures of Ford Fairlane.” For those who missed the con- cert, Queensryche has just re- leased ”Operation:Livecrime,” a limited edition box set contain- ing a video cassette of the "Mindcrime" set, an audio version of it (CD or cassette), and a li- bretto with photos, lyrics, and the story behind the album. It may cost a bit more, yet it will never be available again after this Christmas. A definite collector's item. Concerning the latest album, Jackson explained why many of the songs on "Empire" are much more personal lyrical ly than their previous material. ”For every album,” Jackson said, ”we tend to write what we feel. When we were writing for ‘Empire’, there was...maturity on a lot of personal levels because of the fact that several of the guys are married, and I think it was what we were feeling at the time. I don't know what we're going to be feel ing when we write the next album.” Unlike countless other artists today, there is a definite, mean- ingful consistency among Queensryche's lyrics. It is the band's message totheirfans. This message is echoed in the song, "Anybody Listening?” Jackson emphasizes this. ”That’s what we're all about. Who cares what everybody thinks. We're going to write what we want to write. NOVEMBER 19, 1991 Eddie Iackson. bassist for Oueensryche You can't write what everybody else is writing. That's not our style.” There were a few disappoint- ments at Monday's show, the biggest being the opening act, Warrior Soul. Lead singer Kory Clarke was as vulgar as he was annoying, giving speeches laced with ample amounts of both an- tagonism and profanity. For the most part, they were ignored. Equally disappointing was the size the crowd. They only filled about half of the arena, yet that is typical for a Johnstown show. However, Queensryche are not after sell-out crowds in large are- nas. In a recent interview with The Tribune Democrat, guitarist Michael Wilton stated, ”Right now we are laying a foundation for future tours. Many of the places we've been playing...a lot of bands won't play anymore because of the current recession. But we're doing it anyway.” Now that the ”Building Em- pires”touriswindingdown,when can we expect something new from Queensryche? Jackson said, "We've got another couple months left, [we'll] end the tour in Seattle, probablytake a couple of months off, and then we can start focusing on the new album after that." After a fifteen-month road trip, it's safe to say that Queensryche are entitled to a well-deserved break. I'm sure there are many Queensryche fans who are already anticipating a new album. Award-winning play to appear at Performing Arts Center Skip Raker Staff Writer On Nov. 23, a played titled "Cowboy Love,” written by Dr. Charles Clifton, a professor of Humanities and English at Pitt- Johnstown, will be performed at 8 p.m. in the Pasquerilla Per- forming Arts Center. The tale of "bad beans and a broken heart" is fresh from its world premiere at the Pittsburgh New Works Festival. The play has recently won several awards at a banquet held in Pittsburgh. ”I' he play came out of a class assignment for a poem. I started writing with it and I developed characters talking and that got me interested. As I became more interested I wondered what I could do with it. "The characters I formed from some of life's cliches. Then I just turned them around to have some fun. It started in language and grew plot and characters.” Clifton said the play’s idea was something he could "catch a hold of.” He kept confidence in him- self, even though he had never written a play before. ’’It was easier than writing fiction because I like voices. On the other hand it was harder than writing a poem. A poem is something I could keep track of in my head in its entirety. A play is more of a living, breathing thing because other people can get involved." "At times I found the actors knowing more than I did about the characters. It's the best kind of group activity. It was grand. I loved it." According to Clifton, he is glad the play kept its original cast and director. "The director was so smart. She was someone, as a writer, that I could trust. Usually the writer and director end up both arguing because they both want to keep hold of their territory.” "From the first reading the ac- tors shocked me. They made them sound better than I imagined when I wrote and developed them.” As far as Cl ifton’s future plans, his_ goals for future writings is focused. "Now I am trying to write a couple of other one-act plays. They're called ”The Love Child” and "Bear's Bad Dream.” Clifton bluntly states that he has no interest in writing for the big screen.. i "I’m not interested in film. Theater makes things happen. As I said it's a living, breathing me- dium. You get an intense feeling of pleasure. Films are too glitzy and dead in comparison to live theater. The actor will actually spit on you in the front row. That doesn't happen in film. It's excit- mg.” The doors to the Performing Arts Center wil I ‘open at 7:30 p.m. and the performance is free to the public on a fi rst come, first-seated basis.

"It started when my roommate said, ‘What did Mickey Mouse get for his 60th birthday?/” Walsh says. The answer,of course — a Dan Quayle watch.

The success of the Dan Quayle watches showed Walsh that the watch market was open for business. After noticing repro- ductions of Claude Monet and other artists on student's walls, Walsh came up with the idea for Artwatches. That idea turned into a business plan for Artwatches that served as Walsh's undergraduate thesis and blossomed into his current international venture.

Walsh has sold more than 100,000 of the watches in the United States, Germany, France.

He dazzled the crowd with his unthinkable passes, and charmed them with his winning smile. He was everyone’s hero as well as one of the best players the game has ever seen. ' He has won three regular season MVP awards while lead- ing his team to four NBA cham- pionships. He was the general who led his army to become perhaps the best dynasty that basketball has ever seen. Now that Johnson's life as an athlete is over doesn't mean his life is over. According to Magic, he will nowenjoythe things in life which he has yet to see. Johnson has also vowed to be- come a leading role model for the AIDS disease. He said, ’’I want people to understand the importance of having safe sex. It is something everyone should practice.” Even though Johnson has played his last NBA game he may not have played his last game. The latest word has Magic playing in the 1992 Olympic games. According to Olympic rules there is nothing that would prohibit his involvement in the games. He wants to play, and I don't think there are too many people that will argue against seeing Magic with the basketball in his hands one more time. President George Bush has asked Johnson to become a member of the National Com- . mission of AIDS and deliver his “very important message” about the disease. Many people, including the president, have labeled Johnson a ”hero” for his bravery in an- nouncing that he had tested positive for the HIV virus, which can lead to AIDS. Johnson hassaidthatalthough his days in the National Basket- ball Association are over, it does not mean his life is. His announcement has made many people real ize that nobody is immune to the HIV virus, re- gardless of race, sex, income, religion or anything else. Charles Barkley, a forward who plays for the Philadelphia 76ers, is wearing a patch with Johnson's number 32 on his uniform in dedication to the former Michigan State star.

(Photo by Brian Shaffer) Kent Smith Staff Writer During the past 10 years, the Pitt-Johnstown Lady Cats have used a fast break offense. This offense led them to a 27-1 record last year before a 75-70 loss to Lock Haven in a Division ll East- ern Regional semifinal game. The fast break has. led Jodi Gault to a 215-36 record in her nine seasons as Cats’ head coach. ”lt’s the style I was taught,” Gault said. Before her coaching career at UPJ, Gault played in professional basketball leagues. Gault said that since taking over as head coach at UPJ, she has tried to recruit players who can play in a fast break offense. Last year, the Lady Cats were able to use their fast break often. They averaged 13 steals and forced 22 turnovers per game. Two key players to the fast break offense are this year's two senior captains, Mindy Young and Amy Kessler. " Last year, Young, a Kodak All- American Honorable Mention, contributed 1 2.4 points per game and ateam high 242 assists. The Sat. Mon. Sun.

This year's post players will be Toddy Croyle and Julie Schlimm. Last year, Croyle was the team's sixth player. The 6-foot senior center averaged 7.5 points per game and was third on the team in blocks, offensive rebounds and field goal percentage. ”The key to the fast break of- fense is that post players can run nearly six points and four re- bounds.

Hennon, a senior from Grove City, was third on the team in assists and three-pointers made last season. Greaser had 44 points and 17 assists in 18 games last season.

This season, the Mountain Cats have added size and height in the post to a team that was much shorter than most Of its opponents last season. Head coach Bob Rukavina added 6-foot-8 Thomas Lahrs and 6-foot-7 Richard Buck to the ros- ter this season. A He also has 6-foot-10 redshirt center Mark Hensel returning to the Cats’ lineup. Hensel played well in the scrimmage, scoring 1 1 points and swatting away four Blue shots in the game. "We were pleasantly surprised with the offense that Mark gave us,” Rukavina said. "We're ex- pecting big things from him on ' defense, but any time he gives us that kind Of offense, that is a real bonus.” Senior Quinn Harris, a 6-foot- ' 5 forward, gave the White team plenty of offense, scoring 31 points. He has 1,024 points in his career at UPJ. Lady Cats Continued from page 9 ward/center from Franklin, both played in about half of the Lady Cats’ games as a freshman last season.

The Lady Cats’ opening regu- lar}seasOn game will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Sports Center against Virginia Union. He is likely to leave UPJ as the school's all-time leading scorer. He needs 279 points this sea- son to pass Rich Ragan, who had 1,303 during his career. Tennyson Thompson, a 6-foot- 7 sophomore who fi lled in forthe injured Harris last season, had 18 rebounds and 11 points for the White team. . ”IfIdidn’tlOOk atthe statshee , I would have never guessed he had that many rebounds”, Rukavina said. Lahrs, a 6-foot-8 freshman from Bremerhaven, Germany, 4 came back from a scoreless first half to 14 points in the second half, helping the White team pull away from a close 40-39 score at intermission. Senior guard Robert Shanahan added 12 points for the White team. Richard Buck, a fresh man who played at Fork Union Military Academy last season, scored 24 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Blue team. I ' Freshmen Vashon Hargrove and Brett Platt had 12 points for the Blue team, while junior Jeff Clark added 12 more. “We had some players who played a little better than we ex- pected them to, but then we had a few guys who didn't play as well as we thought they would,” Rukavina said. The White team played much better in the second half, even though they trailed by a point early. They outscored the Blue team, the Cats’ second string, 56-31 to break the game open. The Cats have a good balance of veterans and new players, with six experienced players and eight new players. The Blue-White game was the first time the Cats have played in a game situation this season. The Cats wi ll open their regular season Nov. 22-23 with the Pitt- Johnstown Ti p-Off Tournament. The other teams participating in the tourney will be Point Park College, Wilkes College and Houghton College. Rukavina was able to convert a 2-22 team from the Community College Of Allegheny County's South Campus to a 19-11 team team two seasons later. His team finished third in the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference that season. It was the highest finish in CCAC-South history. His team also finished second in the junior college region 20 tourney. The Cats have not had a win- ning season since 1978-1979, when they finished 13-11 under coach Jim Basista.

Kostan Jr. Feature Editor Alcohol and substance abuse is ”a problem that can be’so’lved” said Antonia C. Novello, U.S. Surgeon General, during the Fourth National Forum on Sub- stance Abuse issues in Higher Education. Highlights of the fa- rum were broadcast on campus via satellite last Thursday. College and university presi- dents, administrators, counselors, educators, and students con- cerned with alcohol and other drug abuse education and pre- vention were among those who participated in the forum. The sessions focused on policy initia- tives of the 90's, alcohol market-- ing, issues relating to healthy campus environments, and the relationship between campus violence and substance abuse. "Campuses must provide al- ternatives to drinking,” said Novello. College students con- sume over 430 million gallons of alcohol per year, an average of 34 gallons each, and contribute $4.2 billion annually to the li- quor industry, according to Novello. In 1987 more than 285,000 substance-related crimes including robbery, rape and mur- der were reported on campuses, he said. Jeffrey Becker, a representa- tive of the Beer Institute, said "alcohol advertisements do not encourage abuse” yet went on to state that breweries focus "sig- nificant advertising in the student interest area.” Becker said that his industry reduced advertising by $100 million last year and sales went up by 3 percent. ISIS unable to print minors on transcripts Joe Corrado Staff Writer The ISIS computer system is having problems with the print- ing of students’ minors on tran- scripts. Dr. David Dunlop, Academic Dean, described ISIS as "one of the most complex computer pro- grams ever written for a univer- sity.” According to Dunlop, the University introduced minorsthis year because it thought that the Lora Hershey News Editor Two Pitt-Johnstown students are trying to reinstate the Asso- ciation of Women Students, a group that disbanded in 1988. According to Sharon Van Blerkom and Billie J. Kisko, now isagood timeforthe organization to be reinstated because of sexual discrimination and AIDS issues being raised because of the Clarence Thomas hearings and Magic Johnson's revelation that he has the AIDS virus. "T here are too many unaware women,” Van Blerkom said. "We want to discuss a lot of things people are afraid to talk about.” Van Blerkom and Kisko said they want to sponsor speakers to - start out with and move on to political issues later because they don't want to be perceived as a man-hating organization. The women said membership in the group in the 19805 may have dwindled because it was seen as a radical feminist group. Kisko noted the group dis- solved around the same time the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated in Washington. computer system was prepared to print the minors out on the transcripts. Dunlop said that if the University would have antici- pated that ISIS would not be able to dothis, minors would not have been introduced until next year. The registrar's office will have to work around this problem manually, Dunlop said. There ' are otherproblems with ISIS, but they won't affect students for the most part. ”Most of the features work,” ”You either had to be totally feminist or not. There was no middle ground,” Van Blerkom said. Van Blerkom said Dr. Monica Frolander-U If wanted to reinstate the group last year. ' "We're going to be political but not radical,” Kisko added. Kisko also encourages men to join the group. “I just want them Dunlop said regarding ISIS, ”It’s just a matter of paying a program- mer and getting things done.” ISIS has a clear advantage in saving time and effort because it contains all of the information for a student on one database, Dunlop said. He predicted that ISIS will work the way the Uni- versity wants it to within acouple of years. - ‘ Dunlop said ”Nothing stands still. I envision ISIS being con- tinually updated.” AUPJ students try to re—activate organization to be aware of women's issues,” _ she said. "Women encounter certain obstacles. Once women get out of college into the business world they're going to realize they're making only 69 cents for a man's dollar,” Kisko said.

Becker went on to defend beer companies and beer advertise- ments and concluded that "beer companies do not want to en- courage underage drinking." One-half of the beer industry’ s advertising force is focused on campuses consisting of a student body where more than two-thirds . of students are under 21 , charged Peter Bell, former executive di- rector of the Institute on Black Chemical Abuse. @@.@2®@@2.®@2@ {@9220 S...’ .-...-._._« ._._..-...-.-. -.—~~-.—- ~—._- Catheri webe: Miss Pennsylvania USA’ MISS PENNSYLVANIA usA° PAGEANT ® 5 1 '«.c c/o TRI-STATE-HEADQUARTERS - DEPT. cA usAo -..—- - 341 LOCUST AVENUE - WASHINGTON, PA 15301-3399 Trl—Siate Headquarters Phone is 412/225-5343 MEMBER Application Deadline is December 21. 1991 ‘Miss USA’ Pogeru is part of tlrefanlily oIPam_no_arI Coinmuications. inc. @@@@?§5§:¢2Eii2”§,i2t§a¢>f’§”sl?@iiiéiéfiéiiaeee 0 ‘'7' Cult ‘E THE SEARCH IS NOW ON! “MISS PENNSYLVANIA USA“) PAGEANT" N0 PERFORMING TALENT REQUIRED If you are an applicant who qualifies and are A between the ages of 18 and under 27 by February 1, 1993, never married and at least a six month resident of Pennsylvania, thus college dorm students are eligible, you could be Pennsylvania’s representative at the CBS-nationally televised Miss USAQ Pageant in Feb., 1993 to compete for over $200,000 in cash and prizes.
