"'Anheuser-Busch, whose , Buawe1ser , dominates beer-sponsored activities on col- lege camp11ses, holds Alcohol Awareness nights -to1promote the designated driver system and the pitfalls of getting drunk. ' ·• :1t:1• 'Animal House' Losing Appeal "Things like [the movie] 'Animal House' and beer-chugging contests were common 10. years ago," said Jim Dirker, marketing manager of Coast Distributing _Co. in San Diego, wholesaler for Budweiser products. "Today, we emphasize dry rushes [recruitment for sororities and fra- ternities) and general moderation. "Of course, we are in the busi- ness o(selling beer, but I think the message is starti ng to get out that it's not necessarily cool to be smasheli. that the person who can drink the most ls not always the most cool." Among the three campuses, U~D has taken the most signifi- cant actions during the last year, particularly in terms of strength- ening legal enforcement. "For years, I think we were overall more lax," Vice Chancellor Watson said. Though California's legal drinking age has been 21 for many y_ears, UCSD did not actively enforce.it on campus until the last year. Now, 'dormitory advisers' watch for underage drinking, which in the majority of cases is easily spotted since almost all dor- mitory residents are freshmen or sophomores ahd, therefore, usually under 21. . · The .few students who are of · legal drinking age must consume alcohol in their private rooms with doors closed. By prohibiting alcohol in any public area on campus, UCSD officials have in effect forced parties off campus, both Watson ancl_students agree. "Obviously, I cannot say to you that there is no underage drinking in our ' [residence] halls or on campus," Watson said. "But we have set a norm that, we expect students to follow." Added Tom Colthurst, director of alcohol programs for UCSD·exten- .,, sion, "Clearly, alcohol problems do not start and sto-p at the_ campus

raised "quite vigorously" by stu- dents ''as an argument for us to be quite liberal, turning our back to allow drinking on campus. "But tq drive after drinking Is a student's decision independent o( what the university decides to do. .. . Students who make an in- formed decision to drink and drive know the conseq1;1ences.''

The agreement with- Yellow Cab covers an area from Solana Beach to Mission Beach and east to Inter- state 15, , But Watson decided riot to help with university funds for the ser- vice. "Are we encouraging more drinking with it and just eliminat- ing. the negative consequences?" he asked. "In my personal view, it might mean more students going off campus and drinking more." Sister Schmeling of USD takes a different view of administrative participation. USD helps pay for a similar seven-day-a-week taxi agreement with Orange Cab for its students. The service is even avail- able for students who find them- selves inebriated in Tijuana. · "I guess our philosophy is that we [will help the student) who recognizes that he or she has had too much to drink and should not gel into a car and drive or ride with someone else who has been drink- ing, Hopefully, we can get them into a pattern of using 'pubhc transportation in these cases, and meet them halfway if they ·make the responsible decision ·not to drink and drive.'' Also, any student who uses the service three times during a se- mester must sit down with Schmel- ing for an evaluation on whether the student has more than a social drinking problem. · · "We 'take the program one step further by adding the educational component that can flag ·an alcohol abuse problem,". she said.

tries the paper covers. Organizers, however, cited Rich's appearances at other such gather- ings and viewed his refusal as a snub. League executive director Harvey Sabinson said Rich's absence "forti- fies the impression, right or wrong, that he bears some grudge against Broadway." Rieb also figured indirectly in anoth- er theatrical shudder. As reported in Variety, David Hawley, drama critic for the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press Dispatch, lost his post and drew a week's suspen- sion after disclosing that he plagiar- ized from a Rich review. Hawley, who had been theater co- lumnist for a decade, said in his last column that, in writing a recent cri- tique of C.P. Taylor's "Good," he took material from a 1982 Times review by Rich. Mickey Mullany, who's compiled an impressive dossier around town as an actress and director, will ease into a new role in April. She'll take over from Kim-Sue Kathy Hansen as general manager of the Bowery. Hansen is leaving in mid-month to become stage manager for the spring tour of the National Theatre for Chil- dren. She's been with the Bowery since 1983. Among other tasks, Mullany was artistic director ol the short-lived Marvin's Dinner Theatre in Solana Beach. "Voices in the Threshold," by Mex-

ican dramatist Victor Hugo Rascom, will gel its English-language debut this evening in a workshop produc- tion by the Southwestern Community College drama department in associ- ation with Teatro Meta, the Globe's bicultural program. "Voices," translated and directed by Raul Moncada, will run through Saturday at the Arena Space in Mayan Hall. Tickets are available at the door. "Tea," the Old Globe attraction opening Saturday, features a rarity - all five members of the cast, and the director, are making their Globe debuts. Velina Hasu Houston's story of five Japanese war brides, coping with life in the United States after World War II, will _have Shuko Akune, Takayo Fischer, Lily Mariye, Garrielani Mi- yazaki and Diana Tanaka directed by Julianne Boyd, who staged the origi- nal production of "Tea" al the Man- hattan Theatre Club in October 1987. Kit Goldman, managing producer of the Gaslamp company, will return to the stage for the first time in two years as part of the ensemble for the Gaslamp's "The Little Foxes," open- ing April 6. Others in Will Simpson's cast are Veronica Henson-Phillips, Bruce McKenzie, Walter Murray, Rebecca Nachison, Von Schauer, Philip Shofner, Heidi Wilson and Mi- chael Dean Wise. Craig Noel, Old Globe executive producer and sparkplug of the

Globe's graduate drama degree pro- gram with USP will direct the project's next joint production, Shaw's "Getting Married." The comedy is slated for April 6-9 in the university's Sacred Heart Hall. It will mark the first time Noel has directed the students enrolled in the grad program. He staged "Getting Married" for the Globe in 1973. Next in the Globe's Play Discovery Program is a reading of "Alfred Stieglitz Loves O'Keeffe," a bio- graphical drama by Lanie Robert- son.
