New systems
going on-line
The Cal State San Marcos library
staff has been busy installing new
computer systems, creating the hightech image planned for the university *s
library.
Initiated by the cataloging system
going on line March 25,1992, several
other functions have also gone on line
with more to come soon.
"It has a lot of components," said
Marion Reid, library director. "We are
slowly adding things."
In addition to the electronic card
catalog, Reid and the library staff have
installed two acquisition programs: one
for journals an one for regular tides.
By next fall, they pan on having an
automated Check-Out system and a
compatibleReserveBookroom system.

University closes for
Mission Statement Day
ANITA MARCIEL WILLIAMS/
PIONEER
Cal State San Marcos President
Bill Stacy has directed that all classes
be cancelled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
tomorrow so that the entire university
community may participate in Mission
Statement Day, to be conducted in the
Founders' Plaza.
Margeret Wilkerson, chairwoman
of African American Studies at UC
Berkeley, will make akeynote address
the first hour. The remaining two hours
will include breakout discussions and
lunch. I t's too late to reserve a box
lunch; however, bring your own and
join the group meetings.
The Mission Statement is this
university's "blueprint of what we
thought an academic community
should be and what we thought should
be the environment in which an academic community gathered," said
Stacy in his preliminary announcement to faculty and staff about statement day.
The Mission Statement was originally written by 12 Founding Faculty
and has been a guide in the launching
of the new North County university,
has helped give it "academic direction" and assisted in faculty selection,
according to Stacy's announcement.
Dr. Richard Millman, academic
vice president, said recommendations
by faculty convinced Stacy that it was
important enough to take three hours
off from the school day.
"The Mission Statement is a vision
for the school for the future . .. an
excellent document . ..but not unchangeable," Millman said. However,
not everyone agrees "on what some of
the words mean," he said.
A group of four faculty members
— Dr. Patty Seleski and Dr. Leslie

Z omalt, H istory, D r. C arolyn
Mahoney, Math, and Dr. Don Funes,
Arts and Sciences—went to the Lilly
Endowment Workshop on the Liberal Arts in Colorado this past June.
They all agreed that they all disagreed
about what the Mission Statement
meant. Each had his or her own interpretation.
Because of this disagreement,
Mission Statement Day was planned
and it was decided to include the
whole university population. Attendees will be asked to read the statement
and discuss it, help to interpret it, and
come up with why the think the university is or is not living up to its
stated goals.
" It's not just a piece of paper on
President Stacy's wall," said Laura
Mitchell, Associated Students president. "There will be freshmen and
sophomores in 1994-95, with a general education curriculum to be set
up," she said, adding the statement
must speak to them as well.
"I hope that Mission Statement
Day does become an annual event
where we can discuss ways we might
become more diverse as our school
student population becomes more diverse," Mitchell said.
Mitchell said that she looked forward to the day that the university
following the Mission Statement,
would exhibit "acceptance of different peoples with whom we live, study
and work," and eventually the university community would come to
"love each other in all our diversity."
Mitchell gave an example of one
of the items which might come up for
consideration some day, the fact that
this is a "dry" campus. She hoped that
it would stay that way even after sororities and fraternities came to
CSUSM.

There was a letter i nihe S ept 9
edition of Pioneer which spçk^: to
another topic, theecotogft^emrcronment The writer asked that a^strong
declaration be made addressing that
issue.
*
-t&amp;jfz *
" ... the idea of preservingifie environment as CSU San Marcos can
best be described as good intènGons,
but lacking â conscious d irection,'^
wrote Ed Lim in the publishedletter.
Another possible concern of the
student body mightbe the presence of
a Reserve Officer Training Corps
(ROTC) unit on campus. Some colleges and universities have closed this
scholarship program to their students
due to the "open discriminatory
practices of the government" m sùch
areas as homosexuality, Mitchell said.
"There is talk of doing something ^
(in conjunction) with San:, Diegp
State," in the ROTC program, she
said. She believes that this is another
topic in which the whole student body should involve itself.
Among the statement items, w e
see addressed the fact thatÇSUSM
"offers excellence in undergraduate
and graduate education to ^ diverse
citizenry"and it"promotesacottegial *
relationship between students and
faculty." The statement recognizes
the school's "special role in the North
San Diego County area" and "endorses an international perspective
that addresses the global community
in its distinctive social," political and
economic terms." Finally, it aims "to
instill in its students enthusiasm and
curiosity, creativity and originality,
healthy skepticism and continuing
inquiry."
These goals are all to be found in
the Mission Statement for CSUSM.

�Business community could save CSU from going broke
Hundreds of years before Christ was conceived, the Greek philosopher Plato developed
a model for a perfect society. Education was a
lifelong endeavor which played an important
function in hissystem and was vital in determining where individualsfellon the ladder of social
stratification.
To be a garbage man, for instance, one might
need a primary education only. Governmental
leaders (the tqp of Plato's social ladder) would
require a minimum of thirty years of education.
Children were trained for careers as soon as
their aptitudes could be measured.
Education for Plato was a light illuminating
and drowning out all of society's problems.
Today and in the future, Plata's observations
and ideas have become more pertinent than
ever.
With technology moving at supersonic speed,
those societies able to keep and set the pace of
iimovation will remain or become economic
superpowers. Only through education may this
pace of innovation be attained. Those nations
unable to keep up will sink to Third World
economic status in the course of a decade.
Countries like Japan and Germany recognize
the vital linkage of education and business and
have thus molded their systems of education to
train students for careers. If the U.S. hopes to
remain a competitive economic force by the
middle of the next century, it must view education in the same manner and mold it to suit the
quickly changing needs of the technological
marketplace.
Cuirently, the weakest link in the U.S. public
educational chain is, unfortunately, the first.
Our K-12 system of education lacks discipline
and diversity. It is a wasteful program where
duplicative knowledge is taught throughout all

grade levels, thereby diminishing student interest
Only 71 to 72 percent of students make it
through high school without dropping o ut Even
more frightening is that 13 percent of 17-yearolds are functionally illiterate. Unable to fill out
a simple application form, this faction of the
population will be lucky to find jobs in the local
McDonalds.
Public education in this country is becoming
a "depress story" rather than a "success story."
Private schools fare better in their goal of educating with heavier discipline and a competitive
edge. For instance, I attended a Catholic school
from third through sixth grade and received and
retained knowledge that many sophomores in
the local public high school hadn't attained yet
(even more surprising is the fact that I was
taught by blood-thirsty monster nuns rather
than "caring professionals").
The problems now facing primary public
education are likely to escalate. As overall health
continues to improve, people live longer, and
the birth rate remains at a below-replacementlevel rate, the number of senior citizens with
litde interest in public education will escalate to

25 percent.
Since seniors are among the demographic
groups most likely to be found in election booths,
education will become more and more economically imperilled as educational bond issues continually fail. The American Association of Retired People (AARP) will continue to
lobby federal, state and local legislatures for
their own special interests. As a result a smaller
slice of the budgetary pie will be doled out to
public schools.
In order to offset economic problems and
create a breed of student more suited for the
world of work, education must become more
privatized.
We recently saw the larval stages education
privatization in California with a suggested
initiative. A proposed November proposition
asked voters to establish a school voucher system where families can access state monies to
send their children to private schools. Though it
won'tbeon November's ticket, such a measure,
and many more like it throughout the nation, is
bound to inevitably pass.
As a result, public education will be forced to
tighten its belts and work harder to beat out
private competition. Private schools will spring
up in virtually every community, making them
almostasaccessibleaspublic institutions. Since
they will be run by private corporations, such
schools will more than likely be better able to
train its students for the working force. Investing businesses will have direct input into thç
educational system, communicating its needs
directly to those organizations.
As society becomes more technological, reeducation will be vital to maintaining a productive and competitive work force. As a result,
businesses and institutions of higher education

must work together to create a curriculum reflective of the working world and malleable
enough to retrain and educate individual workers six or seven times over.
Mentorship programs will arise between
universities and businesses to strengthen the
bond between the two institutions. A mentorship
program would link each individual student
with a community leader or businessperson. A
student studying molecular chemistry, for instance, might be assigned a professional biochemist to observe and help out with occupational duties.
Through such programs, universities may
learn directly from businesses hQw to mold their
curriculums. Students, conversely, will be
plugged into a valuable web of occupational
resources and will see first-hand what responsibilities are required of them in the working
place.
I see businesses and universities of the future
developing alternative curriculums designed
specifically to re-educate and retrain members
of the work force. Perhaps individual schools
will arise to meet the retraining needs ofgraduate
students.
It is truly doubtful that this society in 50,100
or even 200 years will realize the potential of a
completely educatedPlatonic society. However,
with the help of private business, human perseverance and the need to keep up in the technological race, there is hope that we can make
steps toward that common good.
The U.S. needs to abandon its "live for today" motif and begin operating in terms of the
future. If we do not, than countries like Japan
and Germany will thrust this nation into a permanent and irreparable Third World economic
status.

judged not by his past, but by his
sense of style. The way he handles
himself. Grace under presure." .

O ct 4 here on campus. And campus officials
plan on having a much larger party—more craft
vendors, a third musical stage, a children's
corridor and a technology fair added on to what
was here last year.
But something is still missing from the 1992
International Festival: student interest.
Don't get the wrong impression. This isn't

m ent
The problem stems from the festival date
being moved up almost an entire month. Last
year, the fair was O ct 27. Moving it up to O ct
4 makes it too close to the beginning of the
school semester, hindering several factors.
One is student participation. This event is not
an easy task. In 1991, students were involved in
a number of planning sessions — some groups
even organized events on their own.
But those students had been attending Cal

to adequately adjust to the new setting of this
university. Then more students could participate in more planning activities.
In 1991, Pioneer published five editions before the International Festival — including an
eight-page special section dedicated exclusively,
to the event. But with only enough time for two
issues, this campus newspaper falls prey to the

OUR VIEWS

State's message: pay more, expect less
! Education costs for California State University students are going up. Last spring, the
California legislatures sent a clear message to
the academic community: pay more and expect
leks.
i As a management science business administration major, I've been trained to plan and
coordinate activities for future events. My educational goals are dependent upon my personal
financial abilities. I work full-time to support
myself. I pya for my own college expenses. My
budget is crucial to my personal well-being.
Scholarly, through a catalog system, I 've
been guarantees a pie-determined course curriculum. The "guarantee" is that no additional
requirements will be added to hinder my
progress, once begun. The financial aspect of
collegiate career is no different. Fees, Tuition,
Books and other expenses affect a student's
ability to achieve the goal, a college degree.
Expenses should be outlines, set and cataloged at the beginning of an educational career.
In this way, students cán financially plan for the
life-enhancing transition which will determine
our future lifestyles.
Pretty important, huh?

�Soma Gallery joins the
Quarter with splash of art
JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER
A new establishment to the
Gaslamp Quarter proves that art is
abundant in the Historic Heart of
San Diego. The Soma Gallery is
showing two interesting and
delightful exhibits.
Continuing through O ct 4 , the
Gamer Tullis Monotype Survey
makes a stop on its national tour.
The Monotype works, mostly
untitled, show that pencil and paint
do not have to conform to the
boundaries of forms and figures.
Charles Arnoldi's three pieces of
mixed media in varying sizes take
on new meaning of color mixtures
and compatibility. Lifeless shapes
overlap one another, spatula-shaped
holes reveal the previous layers of
texture and tone.
To some, this piece may look
like a paint class from kindergartners. To the artistically educated, it
looks about $1,200 plus the frame.
Italo Scanga uses the same ideas
in overlapping shapes and colors.
Instead of using the modular
elements of Arnoldi, however,
Scanga uses the contour and curves
of a violin, a shoe and a sloth to
add contrast to this 1985 art work.

Lisa Yuskavage goes several
steps further and uses the curved
form of a woman in two untitled
pieces. The same form is rendered
differently: one is hot with the
vibrant red tones; the other cool
with subtle, more detailed blue
hues.
David Lasry uses the same
comparison with two recent works.
Using the same outline, he changes
colors and patterns to give different
feeling and meaning to the respective monotype.
The monotype is sharply
contrasted with Martin Beck's
^Graphite Monotype," a four-piece
collection. He uses the gray shade
of graphite in square patterns on a
black background. He further
highlights his work by outlining the
shapes in red.
Yet David Row's monotypes
stand out in the exhibit as bold,
striking works. Using gold and
black, he creates a stark backdrop to
life.
The second exhibit being
featured at the Soma Gallery is a
region-wide campaign of Installations. "In/Site 9 2" intends to be a
diverse and rich interplay of cultural
perspective and individual voices

that

nity. All of the participants are
utilizing their missions and to the
spirit of cooperation this event
seeks to foster.
More than 20 art galleries
throughout San Diego and Tijuana
are participating in this event, and
locally, the Palomar College Boehm
Gallery.
Brent Riggs' "The Spirit of
Loveliness in Youth" is on display
at the Gaslamp gallery.
His installation uses more than
visual senses in a two-dimensional
picture. He adds space and sound to
his work.
His installation is a long room.
On one side is a bow and dangerous-looking arrow; a small motorized machine draws the bow and
then retracts only to draw again. On
the other side is an artificial, heartshaped lung. It breathes in motion
with the bow and arrow, its sounds
of life echoing throughout the room.
It is a remarkable example of
love and life.

Gaslamp:
Historic Heart
of San Diego
J AY LEIGH/PIONEER
Art history. That's what the Gaslamp Quarter is all
a bout Even though the medium of the art changes — •
music, dining, dancing, paintings and evening romancing — art flows throughout the Historic Heart of San
Diego.
Sprawling more than 16 city blocks in downtown
San Diego, the Gaslamp not only preserves the history
of the city, but the Quarter preserves the vibrant fun anc
excitement of San Diego's eccentric past.
The area boasts 31 restaurants, ranging from the
Irish flavors of Reidy's O'NeiTs, t o the Cajun grill at
the Bayou Bar and Grill, from Greek to Italian and back
to Argentinean and Japanese.
Entertainment roars at an additional 14 nightclubs.
Brewski's advertises reggae, Latin blares out of Club
Sevilla, and rock, jazz and blues can be heard on just
about any corner. Entertainment can take on more than
just live music: foot-stomping dances rage at Buffalo

ought to be.

Victorian charm prevails throughput the streets with ;;

A few shops, a psychic palm reader, artist's room/

the attractions of the Gaslamp Quarter. But in case you
still get lost, here's a guide to what's happening where:

Mothers' Day is still months away.
That doesn't stop the Gaslamp Theater
from telling a story of a mother and daughter, a production that goes further than just
the story line.
Molly and Maze" runs through O ct 25 at the Hahn
Cosmopolitan Theatre located in the Gaslamp Quarter. This
delightful comedy portrays mother and daughter exploring
the bonds that hold the two together and the challenge of
letting go.
Actress and comedienne Lotus Weinstock stars in "Molly
and Maze," a play she wrote. Weinstock describes her work
as a loving and bittersweet story of a mother who questions
her ability to make a difference — and her daughter's efforts
to help restore her energy and inspiration.
Weinstock is a veteran to her work. In comedy clubs and
theaters around the country, Weinstock's brand of comedy
has been a major hit. She has also been featured in television
shows such as "St. Elsewhere" and "L.A. Law."
In the play, the daughter is played by Weinstock's daughter, making the production an even greater success. Lili
Haydn rounds out the two-person cast.
Haydn shares the theatrical talents of her mother and adds
some musical elements of her own. She has been featured in
" It's A Living," "Hart to Hart" and " St Elsewhere" on
television; her film credits include Rodney Dangerfield's
daughter in "Easy Money."
Shows for "Molly and Maze" run Wednesday through
Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Call 234-9583.

Dark Knight's legend lives on
SHiELA COSGROVE/PIONEER
This summer offered some pleasant and unpleasant cinematic sequel
surprises.
Sigourney Weaver played Ripley
for the last time in the disappointingly
edited "Alien3" while Mel Gibson and
Danny Glover proved they still pack a
dangerous wallop in "Lethal Weapon
3." One movie that surprised nobody
was Tim Burton' s "Batman Returns
After the first triumphant film in
1989, "Batman Returns" was a guaranteed success. But in this updated
version of the Dark noir Knight, many
of us forget the flip side of the legendary crime fighter from the circa
1960s television show "Batman."
Although drastically different in tone
and approach, those classic TV clips
still garner a wondrous appeal.
America's fascination with Batman
is understandable if you look at what
the caped crusader represents. He's
like a wealthy Bernard Getz on steroids
who uses his limitless resources to
take a bite out of crime.
W hat's more, Batman is more
human than most other film superheroes. His humanity and pain give the
audience reason to sit back and cheer
for the good guys.
The television series, starring
Adam West as the dark knight, all but
ignored the hero's pain.
The series sought to satirize the
American public's perception of the
c omic book g enre. W ith i ts
c artoonesque
" pows"
and
"whammos," "Batman" made the
armchair warrior laugh as each punch
was landed.
Bruce Wayne epitomized the stereotypical good guy with his incessant
intolerance for evil and his relentless
drive to thwart it. The makers of the
series played up his seriousness for
extreme comic relief. We knew that
with the caped crusader, all was safe
in Gotham City.
Timothy Burton's films played
more on the hero's pain than his
goodness. Michael Keaton does a
tremendous job relaying the deeprooted always-present torments which
face Batman. His cause is no laughing
matter. The viewer almost feels tormented by his pain.
Although the series wrung as many
laughs from the heroes as possible, it

was the villains that gave the most
guffaws. Ceasar Romero's Joker and
Burgess Meredith's Penguin exaggerated their evil with comic precision. Their enterprise in doing away
with Batman was so ridiculous, it
kept us hanging for another week.
The Batman films, however, took
a different approach. Burton creates a
dialectic with his villains. He shows
us how a similar traumatic past can
yield diametrically opposed results.
The villains of Batman are as bent
on evil doing as the hero is on performing good deeds. The Penguin in
"Batman Returns" illustrates this
concept. As a child, the hideous human was abandoned by his wealthy
parents. The young Bruce Wayne also
had wealthy parents who were taken
from him while he was a boy.
Burton also gives his villains equal
time as his hero in both films to illustrate that the motivations and actions
of the villain are as important as those
of the protagonist.
Jack Nicholson's Joker remains as the all-time top superhero v illain on t he
screen. To accommodate
for the lack of Jack in the
second film, Burton pulled
in Danny DeVito as the Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as
Catwoman. He even threw in
Christopher Walken as a brilliant businessman with a dark
side.
The second Batman drags
with its villainous undertows, leaving
less and less time for the hero to
parade about in his utility belt and
tights. The film lacks the polarized
balance of thisfirst,but still is a great
joy to watch.
If not for P feiffer's Catwoman,
"Batman Returns" would have been
about as enjoyable as, say, ' The
Taxman Returns" or "Ex-husband
Returns." Catwoman suggests a darker
side to feminism that purrfectly offsets Batman's cool machismo.
Batman's toys in the hit television
serial were far from fantastic. His
gadgets consisted of strings and ropes
and boomerangs and smoke bombs.
They weren't especially spectacular
but we loved to see Batman suddenly
realize he had a rope to pull him from
a hanging cliff.
Of course the old Batmobile is a

classic car that fairly closely resembles the comic book creation.
With fire blazing from its exhaust
pipes, it tore up the roads and the
imagination of the viewers.
The new Batmobile also
blazes fire, but is more sleek
and vicious in its design. It will
be as classic as the old in time.
Batman's biggest draw,
whether he be on the large
or small screen, is his
mortality. We know that
behind the mask and cape
is a person as vulnerable to
death as we are. Therein
lies his greatest appeal.

Batman gets lost in animated bat cave
J AY LEIGH/PIONEER
After a smash run of "Batman
Returns" following the equally successful version of the original Tim
Burton movie, Fox Television is attempting to get on the Batmania
bandwagon with "Batman: The Animated Series." But after a week running, the caped crusader is having an
identity crisis.
Batman is stuck between two villains: a young audience and an older
audience. And currently, the Dark
Knight (based on Warner Brother's

movies directed by Burton) doesn't
know whom to attack first
For the children, the animation is
simple and colorful. Where the color
appears, the hues are bright and
plentiful. The majority of the sets,
however, still contain dark tones that
make the set eerie and spooky, making it home to bats and other night
creatures.
The animation may be too simple
for the older generations. Detail is
nonexistent; there's more detail in a
Tom and Jerry cartoon than in the
streets of Gotham City.

Spectrum Animation Studio, in
charge of the animation, could do
better.
On a positive note, Danny Elfman
leads the musical crew. The composer
of t he t wo " Batman" m ovies,
"Beatlejuice" and "Edward Scissor
hands" — not to mention leading
Oingo Boingo — keeps the action
moving with an upbeat symphony.
The action, too, is quick and to the
point, lacking depth and meaning.
Fighting the bad guys is not exciting.

Palomar film class offers a buffet
with visually appetizing entrees
MIK JAMES HAM ADA/PIONEER
Have you a visual hunger, an appetite forfilmswhich have transcended
the confining constructs of Classical
Hollywood Cinema — films into
which you may easily sink your senses
and from which you may attain a
certain satisfaction lacking in commercial cinema? If s o, p erhaps
Palomar College's theatrical cafe can
assist you.
Serving as the meeting room for
Cinema 100, a course concerning the
technical aspects of the film, this
theatre does not provide sustenance,
exactly, but it does offer films comparable to foreign foods in that they
have frequently been avoided by individuals who feel uncomfortable
abandoning the recognizable f or
something alien to them. Why, conventional logic might follow, should
a person experiment with sushi,
escargo or calamari when he or she
knows that a tried-and-true burger
will do the trick?
Through his filiri class, Richard
Peacock, a 25-year veteran instructor
at Palomar and author of the forthcoming book entitled The Art of
Movie-Making, attempts to eliminate
people's reservedness toward "artsy"

films.
T m trying to show that film is
much more than one may have been
told or shown/' he said. ' There is
more to it than that which comes from
Hollywood, and although people may
have a taste for those films, perhaps
they'll also enjoy, say, a Japanese
artist's work, or that of an American
independent filmmaker.''
In order to depict the difference
between vanguard films and Classical Hollywood Cinema, the latter of
which confines its productions to
specific stipulations (for examples,
CHC typically involves a main character who eventually changes his
situation or himself; a perfectly linear
narrative; and a packaged closure revealing all outcomes), Peacock presents an inclusive assortment of cinema
Comprising such works as "Naked
Lunch," "La Femme Nikita" and
' Truly, Madly, Deeply," this collection v isually c oncretizes t he
instructor's own explanation of artistic integrity, with which, in the class's
first session, he differentiated experimentalism and CHC in terms of
food establishments, the former being represented by a fine French restaurant, the latter, by McDonald's.

But Peacock understands the irregularity of f ilm p alatability.
"There's simply no accounting for
individual taste. You can introduce
good taste; you can take someone to a
French restaurant, but if he doesn't
like it, that's essentially t hat" Still,
Peacock added that every time he
peruses student journals, wherein his
pupils record their opinions of the
p resentations, h e f inds himself
"pleasantly surprised" by their responses.
Similarly, many students, initially
expecting to be presented with standard cinema, may have been pleasantly surprised by their teacher's selection. Has Peacock, then, tricked
his students into engaging in experimentalism? "I d on't know if I 've
'tricked' them,exactly,butldon'tsee
myself as doing a service to anybody
by showing a string of (commercial
films). What would I accomplish by
doing that?"
Although Peacock hasn't intentionally deceived anyone, "Barton
Fink's" Joel and Ethan Coen (director
and producer, respectively) indubitably have: by creating for 20th Century
Fox a motion picture which self-reSEE FILMS/PAGE 15

Breaking the 'School Ties' that bind
While students at Cal State San
Marcos are still discovering the ties
that bind the campus community together, the characters in "School Ties"
are destroying them with prejudice.
David Green is recruited from his
hometown in Pennsylvania to be a
star quarterback at an elite New England prep school. After he forms
friendships withotherclassmates who
hail from families of wealth and renown, these bonds are tested when
Greene's religious identity is revealed.
He and his classmates are forced to
consider their values and loyalties as
they strive to live up to their heritage
while denying that of another.
In "School Ties," David Green,
played by Brendan Fraser, attempts to
deny and hide his Jewish faith, but is
ultimately confronted with his friends'
prejudice. His dilemma: How does it
feel to be an outsider, and what price
will an outsider pay to belong.
"At what price to yourself are you
willing to compromise who you are,

I t's pop, sock, pow, end of sequence.
For kids, thismightbe good; there's
already enough violence on television as it is. But besides the absence of
creativity in the good guy/bad guy
confrontations, Batman also is missing his gadgets.
Sure, there are some tacks and the
Batarang, but the one weapon Batman
uses most is his grappling hook. Wow;
big deal. In animation, the writers are
able to do things that you can't do in
real life — or certainly make it look
easier. Despite this exciting medium,
the writers don't use their creative
license and generate more batgadgets.
In Tim Burton's movies, there was
the Batmobile, the Batplane, the
Batboat, the Batarang, Ninja Wheels,
the Gauntlet, a spear gun, the Joker's
Quill and Acid Rower. In F ox's version, all you see is a limited amount of

the creative arsenal and a lot of regular guns.
The characters themselves are twodimensional. Batman is a square figure in drawing and actions. The only
problem is you don' t know where this
stereotyped character's corners start
or end. Little time is spent to develop
the lead character. This negative note
can be perceived as a positive one.
After all, the Dark Knight is elusive.
But the criminals fall victim to the
same ailment. The Joker, Penguin and
the smorgasbord of other miscellaneous characters are left undeveloped.
Are they worthy opponents or just
another element in the plot where
everyone lives happily ever after? We
may never find out.
Despite its early faults, "Batman:
the Animated Series" may live up to
its name one day. For now, the young
generation can enjoy it, since they
don't see the faults as critically as
those who are educated in the science
of Batology.

in order to become acceptable to a

"'School Ties' is not just about
prejudice against Jews," producer
Sherry Lansing said. "It shows how
irrational prejudice is — that it is
based on nothing more than fear and
that we must educate people not to be
afraid of the unknown.
" I hope the film will make people
more tolerant of any minority group.
"'School Ties' shows that you must
never, ever deny what or who you
are," Landsing continues. " It's not
worth it to lose your identity in order
tobeacceptedintoagroup. Youcan't
allow a lie of omission. That means
learning t o a ccept yourself and
learning that you have to be your own
individual."
Fraser found that his experience as
a student at Upper Canada College
Preparatory S chool—a school based
on the English public school model
— provided useful background for
his role.
"Filming on the Middlesex School
campus brought back strong memories of jackets and ties, trees and lush
green playing fields and anxieties over
a cademia — t he e mphasis on
achievement and the weightiness of
the workload," Fraser said. "And there
were other directions in which you
were pulled just as strongly: the friends
you made so quickly, the relationships
that bonded in a matter of days and
could last for years.
"Something I shared with the
character of David Greene was that I

denying myself and who I was. And I
think that, in some shape or form, is a
part of all of us.
"Fortunately, David realizes what
he's done. He comes out of his experience as a much stronger person."
Making a film dealing with antiSemitism has long been a goal of Jaffe
and Lansing, who formed J affeLansing Productions in 1982. While
many would like to believe that antiSemitism no longerexists in the world,
the producers say this kind of prejudice remains something that is very
much with us every day.
"Pretending hatreds d on't exist in
this country is to deny people the
opportunity to make things better,"
remarks screenwriter Dick Wolf.
