2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 1, 1993 OBITUARY Continued front page 1 film audiencesin 1986asChris Cham- bers, the cigarette-smoking adoles- cent in Rob Reiner's "Stand By Me." Since then, he has starred in such films as "The Mosquito Coast," "Sneakers" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." His controversial portrayal of Mike Waters, the narcoleptic young prostitute in Gus Vant Sant's criti- cally acclaimed 1991 picture "My Own Private Idaho," garnered Phoe- nix a cult-like following. Just as interesting as his screen career, however, is Pheonix's child- hood. Born in Madras, Oregon and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, he was namedafter theriverof life in Herman Hesse's "Siddhartha." His parents worked as missionaries for Children of God, while he and his younger sister, Rainbow, performed song and dance routines on Caracas street cor- ners. The family moved to Los Ange- les when Phoenix was 10 and his career began shortly thereafter. Fellini, the Italian New Waver, first found success on American shores in the early 'S5s with films such as "La Strada," "8 1/2" and "Amarcord." His esoteric penchant for religious symbolism and deeply personal imagery earned him interna- tional stardom and a place in an elite pantheon of directors that includes Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Deplored by feminists as a "dirty old man" and condemned by the Vatican as "obscene," Fellini basked -albeit reclusively- in his success. ELECTION Cont nued from page 14 dates in three of Ann Arbor's five wards. Democrats in the 1st and 5th Wards face token opposition from candidates of the Libertarian and Tisch parties, who have never polled above single digits in Ann Arbor. First Ward Libertarian candidate David Raaflaub bases his chances of winning on a split in the Black vote between Democrat Patricia Vereen-Dixon and Tisch candidate Martin Rhodes, both African Ameri- cans. In the 5th Ward, Libertarian candidate Kent Hyne said he has aligned a coalition of conservative interests against the heavily favored Democrat Christopher KoIb. Incumbent Peter Fink-the only Republican candidate to win the en- dorsement of the Ann Arbor News - is expected to carry the predomi- nately Republican 2nd Ward. "It's a hard ward to win in," Gourdji acknowledged. After losing all but one council seat in the April 1992 election, Re- publicans chipped away at the Democratic majority. The GOP closed the margin to 7-4 after the April 1993 election, a voting bloc sufficient to bar Democrats from overriding a Sheldon veto. Republicans last held a majority in 1989. Then-MayorJerry Jernigan presided over a 7-4 GOP majority. One constant in Ann Arbor poli- tics, Mayor Sheldon said, is that control over the council "swings back and forth very quickly." "I have made all my films in the felliniesque genre," he once face- tiously remarked. Nicknamed "the magician," the avant-garde filmmaker, whose signa- ture fascination with clowns mani- fested itself in many of his 20 pic- tures, ran away from his home town of Rimini at the age of seven to join the circus. He was quickly retrieved by his parents, yetIisabsurdist inclina- tions lived on. A contemporaryof IngiarBergman and Michelangelo Antonioni, the im- modest director once listed one of his own films among the ten best ever. Before being honored with a lifetime achievement award at last March's Academy Awards ceremony, he had won four Oscars for BestForeign Film. - The Associated Press contrib- uted to this report. HA LLOWEEN Continued from page 1 She celebrated her Halloween by dressing up "kind of like a vampire but without the teeth because I didn't want to go that far," and by going party-hopping with friends who allI noticed'a spooky change in the weekend's mood. "You could tell that not everyone was out just to get drunk. They were more into checking out all of the cos- tumes. The best one I saw was this guy all decked up as a fairy with a wand, heels,an hose," Brosnan said. The chance to break rules and for- get inhibitions proved to be a large appeal among students. "I like Halloween because it gives everyone a chance to express them- selves in a visual way but above all, it's just like RuPaul says 'You just gotta have fun,' said LSA junior Maggie Bergen. "There really is a broader spec- trum of expression here," she added. "Halloween lets people experiment FILM 400 ANTHONY M.

Safety has also been an important aspect of the holiday since parents began to check goodies in the fear of hidden razor blades and other dan- gers. Sergeant Pam Wyess of the Ann Arbor Police reported no out-of-the- ordinary problems. "Devil's Night was very quiet and there wasn't too much going on. We've got hand radio people out and some extra patrols,,"she said, adding that the cold weather was a disap- pointment. FANS Continued from page 1 on Are you considering theological education?

At the other side of the restaurant, one student discussed how he and his friends had chartered two buses to transport students to and from Wis- consin for $50. "In going last year, I know there's a huge demand for students to go who maybe don't have a ride and want to go. So why not provide a ride for them?" said Michael Teich, an LSA junior. While Michiganders were unpre- pared for the low Madison tempera- tures, Wisconsin students said they could notbelieve the numberof people who had made the 7-hour trek. "'m so excited thatMichigan people are here, butit's kind of strange being at your own school and not knowing one person on the bar line," said Wisconsin junior Jennifer Keil. And the bar lines were long before, after and during the game. One bounceratapopularbar, KK's, commented that he was paid by Michi- gan fans tobe allowed to cutthe line, but refused to say how much. Thursday night, University students said they werehoping for avictory with a safe celebration, but Saturday's events did not live up to their expectations. Wisconsin and University students without tickets hit the bars early Satur- day morning to cheer for their home teams. Matt Fischer, a senior in the Busi- ness School, commented on the friendly rivalry between the fans. "We lost the game, but we had a good time partying at the bar with our friends from Wisconsin," he said. With the end of the game, ticketless fans from both teams filed out onto State Street, which is the main strip of stores, restaurants andbars in Madison. There, stores selling Wisconsin para- phernalia were buzzing with people eager to buy sweatshirts, T-shirts, and hats with the Badger logo. The State Street celebration was calm compared to the one at Camp Randall Stadium, whereWisconsin fans stormed the field, knocking down rail- Noulooked aound and saw bodes, blood, CPR.' - Allison Shapiro ings and fences, and trampling people in their path. "At first I was upset that I did not have a ticket for the game, but after whathappened, I'm glad Iwas faraway from the stadium," said Vanessa Karp, ajunior at Wisconsin who watched the game at home with friends. University students caught in the surge said the scene far surpassed the rowdiness of past Final Four celebra-4 tions on Michigan's South University Avenue. "You felt like it was a war. You looked around and saw bodies, blood, and CPR," said Allison Shapiro, an LSA sophomore. And Michigan students said the loss and the stampede put a damper on the rest of the weekend. "Originally I was very excited about coming to see my sister and hopefully beating Wisconsin, but not only did we lose, Ialmostdied," saidLindsayBeller, a first-year LSA student. Wisconsin students saidHalloween celebrations in Madison are usually some of the best party weekends. Joel Sawyer, a 1991 Wisconsin graduate said he could not think of a better weekend to visit his alma mater "This is acompletely unique week- end, not only is it the Michigan game, but it's also Halloween.... Madison this weekendiscrazier than normal,"he said. However, the students from both schools agreed that after seeing the postgame hysteria, the Halloween par- tying wouldnotbe as exciting as inthe past. "AfterbeingcaughtinthestampedAl and seeing what I did, I can't begin to think about partying right now," said Dana Maynard, a junior at Wisconsin. One student at a costume party at a fraternity house was able to find humor in the events at Camp Randall Saturday night when he dressed as a trampled student, wearing a Wisconsin jersey and with blood painted onto his face.
