Asthma
attacks,
elevators
can be
puzzling
By Bethany Thompson
The Daily Collegian
For those of you who read my
column ahout the elevator per¬
mit expiration date plague wc
have on campus, you will he
glad to know that I have an up¬
date for you.
Ahout a week ago I hopped
into the elevator in the Peter's
Building, and lo and hchold
there were two elevator worker
people working on the elevator
and so 1 thought "Great! Fantas¬
tic! Now we will finally have a
permit in this elevator!"
So it was with much antici¬
pation that I jumped into the el¬
evator the other day. expecting
to see a hrand new shiny non-
expired, guarantee that the el¬
evator was inspected and found
not to have any major prohlcms .
such as suddenly falling to the
ground when Irn in it. What 1
saw was a permit, hut which Was
to my shock, still expired. Who
in their right rhjnd would take
the time to pui up an expired
permit? My guess is prohahly
some type, of government .
worker, hcWuse the government
is always having its workers do
unnecessary work.
My second urklatc is about
health care workers (which
strangely enough, ties into eleva¬
tors). This week I also had the
chance to experience the caring
and helpfulness of health care
workers on campus, when I went
to the health center for an ;rsthma
attack.
I seriously believe that in
medical training they teach
health care workers to wail as
long as possible before admin¬
istrating the breathing treatment
to the asthmatic patient. And in¬
stead of just going on the basis
lhat in my chart it has at least a
bizillion references to asthma
and the fact that horrible cat-like
sounds are emanating from my
chest that I am indeed having an
attack, the health care profes¬
sional must do about 70 tests that
require me to breath deeply to
determine the obvious.
At least, this has been my ex¬
perience, and I consider myself
an expert asthmatic patient.
Come to tmnk of it. I think that
asthmatics are a discriminated
group. Look at how we're por¬
trayed in movies. We're always
the big looser who gets made fun
of and who can't even run down
the street without an attack. This

Mob miniseries an
enthralling blockbuster
By Tom Shales'
Washington Post Writers Group
"The Don" goes on and tin. But
a lot happens. There ate births,
deaths, marriages, funerals, love
affairs; murders, dramatic confron¬
tations and violent killings. People
are shot, stabbed, suffocated and
sunk in the sea. And then it goes on
to the next assault.
Among the many network
miniseries scheduled in May
Sweeps, "The Don" is the one grand
opera, an enthralling sago of sex,
death and skullduggery. "Mario
Puzo's The Last Don" as it's offi¬
cially titled, airs Sunday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, May 11,13 and 14,
on CBS. at 9 p.m. on channel 47,
and in terms of quality, it's clearly
the big blockbuster ofthe month.
Any resemblance to Puzo's "The
Godfather," made into a movie clas¬
sic by Francis Ford Coppola, are
intentional and emphasized.
Don Clericuzio. wise old patri¬
arch played by Danny Aiello. is
very similar,to Don Corlconc,
played by Marlon Brando in "The
Godfather." CBS even tried to get
Brando for the role, but he said no.
Aiello docs a solid subtle job,
though his husky-musky monotone
gets grating at times.
There's a big wedding scene like
in "The Godfather," side trips to Las
Vegas and Hollywood as in the
"Godfather." and even a character
lhat says, as in "The Godfathers"
famous opening scene, "I love
America." Bui once you get passed
all the references. "The Last Don"
tells its own new stories. Writer
Joyce Eliason. adapting Puzo's
novel, skillfully interweaves the
various plotlines and sees to it thai
every character has a purpose and
every plot twist a point.
Except for the commercial
breaks. "The Last Don" has no lulls.
It's utterly lull-less and completely
irresistible. .
The saga spans 30 years, open¬
ing in 1964 on Quoge. Long Island,
where the Clericuzio family is
hcadquarted.
Aiello narrates the story, which
is set in motion when the Don's
daughter Rose Marie falls Juliet-
like for a Romeo from an opposing
family. On her wedding night, her
own brothers and cousin break into
the bridal chamber and murder the
groom.
At this point, young Rose Marie
is played by Emily Hampshire, but
later in part one. when the story
jumps ahead to 1975, the part is
taken over by Kirstic Alley, who
gives a ferocious and wrenching
performance as a woman driven
mad by tragedy and corruption. Her
