“The war was given its own
theme music, its own logo and
even its own title."
Frank Rich
The New York Times columnist
ing continuous coverage of the war with a flair for
theatrics.
“The war was given its own theme music, its own
logo and even its own title, ‘War in the Gulf,’” Rich
said.
“The takeover by show business conglomerates of
television stations has obliterated the idea of news as
part of public service. ”
Rich was bold in his criticism of President George
W. Bush, saying that the current administration has
been brilliant in its use of public relations.
After the lecture, Rich was asked, “How can
President Bush salvage his presidency?”
“He needs to get us out of Iraq; the 21,000 troops
will not help,” Rich said.
Another person asked, “What was the real reason
we went into Iraq?”
Rich answered, “The administration thought it would
be a cake walk. They did not do their homework.”
A native of Washington, D.C., Rich received a
Bachelor of Arts degree in American history and litera-
ture at Harvard University, serving as editorial chair-
man on the school’s student newspaper, The Harvard
Crimson. Rich has worn several hats at The New York
Times in the three decades of his employment: chief
theater critic, senior writer for The New York Times
magazine and front page columnist for the Sunday
Arts and Leisure section before he began writing his
current opinion pages for the Sunday Week In Review
section.
American culture turns every news story into
a soap opera, making it difficult for people to tell
the difference between reality and entertainment,
a columnist for The New York Times said Monday
to an audience of 800 in Trinity University’s Laurie
Auditorium.
Frank Rich, best-selling author of “The Greatest
Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall from Truth from
9/11 to Katrina,” talked about the convergence of
show business and politics in America.
Rich tracks the history of this dramatized news
delivery to the late 1970s, crediting the success of
ABC’s miniseries, “Roots.”
“The media learned that you could take serious
history, tweak it, put some stars in it and have a suc-
cess,” he said.
CNN was struggling with poor ratings at the time
of Desert Storm, and inspired by the success of televi-
sion drama, decided to boost its ratings by provid-

American culture turns news stories into soap operas, columnist says
New lamps
installed for
night students
By Monte Ashqar
Students feeling uneasy about
walking on campus at night will
be able to breathe a sigh of relief
soon.
Harold Voigt, the district mas-
ter electrician for maintenance,
said new lamps have been ordered
to be placed between Gonzales
and McCreless halls that will last
longer, use fewer watts and are
brighter.
Maintenance has to keep up
with problems such as burned-out
lamps and broken circuits.
“There are certain areas I think
can be improved on,” Voigt said,
pointing out such areas as east
of McCreless, west of Fletcher
Administration Center and east
of Candler Physical Education
Center.
Child development freshman
Debra Floyd agrees that cam-
pus lighting could use improve-
ment.
Floyd usually doesn’t stay on
campus late, but when she does,
she makes sure to take precau-
tions.
She does not like being alone
after dark and feels safer being
accompanied by classmates while
she waits to catch the bus.
Along with traveling in groups,
Floyd suggests carrying a flash-
light and keeping a cell phone
handy if students are nervous
about walking around campus at
night.
Yunsub Lim, a nursing soph-
omore, thinks some places are
better lit than others and feels
concerned about being on campus
when it is dark.
Are these fears well-founded?
Not really, said Cpl. Leonard
Nieves, campus coordinator for
the patrol division of the depart-
ment of public safety.
According to Nieves, crime on
campus is the same at night as
during the day.
Nieves also suggests having
car keys ready so students can
access them right away.
If students want an officer to
escort them, they can call dispatch
24 hours a day at 208-8099.
In case of an emergency, stu-
dents should call 222-0911, or
use the blue emergency telephone
poles found throughout campus.
Candler facilities not available to students taking classes at night
By Monte Atliqar
College facilities only offer access
during the day.
facilities, they would have to arrive in the after-
noon. For students who work, that may not be
possible.
Barriera said the schedule allows the clean-
ing crews time to do their jobs. He also said the
basketball and racquetball gyms are rented in the
evening to individual teams.
Faculty members have their own workout room
available 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Wendy Reyes, a nursing freshman here, whose
classes are all in the evening, doesn’t think it’s
fair for her to be charged the same amount as a
day student.
Her earliest class ends at 4:40 p.m. Her next
class is at 6 p.m. She thinks the gym facilities
should stay open until 7:30 p.m. or 8 p.m.
Curt Dewey, a biology freshman, works dur-
ing the day so he doesn’t get to campus until 5
p.m.
He’d like to be able to take advantage of the
conditioning room in the hour before his night
class begins, Dewey said.
Those facilities include a conditioning room,
a swimming pool, two basketball gyms and rac-
quetball courts, interim Chair Leslie E Bleamaster
said.
The spring recreational hours schedule has a
cut-off time of 4:30 p.m. for all facilities.
Medin Barriera, facility manager, has been in
the department for seven years. He said the facili-
ties are available to students when classes are not
in session.
For night students to take advantage of the
Despite paying the same fees and tuition as
day students, night-only students at this college
don’t get to enjoy the same access to facilities at
the kinesiology department.
The facility offers only free hours during the
day.
