Honor codeconfuses ConnstudentsFifty percent offreshmen surveyedbelieve they have broken the honor codeBy KATE WOODSOME

staff writer

On Sunday September 6, thisyear's freshman class followed thetradition of previous years as theyentered Palmer Auditoreum fortheir Matriculation. An integral partof this ceremony includes pledgingto abide by the Honor Code. Al-though this code is unwritten, overfifteen hundred students have de-clared to uphold it. In a recent Voicesurvey, however, many studentshave expressed uncertainty aboutwhat the Honor Code actually is.

The C Book states that withinthe Honor System, "the studentmust be aware of the regulations ofthe college and behave accordingly.Should the student break any ofIthese rules sIhe must turn herself orhimself in to the chair of the Judi-ciary Board and be accountable forhislher actions." In addition, the

Honor Code says if students knowsomeone who has committed aninfraction of the Honor Code, it istheir duty to confront the individualand ultimately report them to the JBoard or encourage them to tumthemselves in.

Survey results showed that of106 participants, 97 of them believethe morality implied in the HonorCode is a noble concept. While tak-ing the poll the majority of thesestudents expressed ambiguity overthe definition of the Honor Code.First year student Leslie Feinberghesitated over her survey saying,"It's a nice idea but they didn't ex-plain it clearly." R<;l.{riend, AlexBand, chimed in "hl~\ even knowwhat exactly the Honor Code is!"Feinberg and Band are not alone.

2 THE COLLEGE VOICE

OPINIONNo excuse for political apathy at Conn

For a campus that pride itself on political cor-rectnes .. div ersity, and community service. Con-necticut College is incredibly apathetic about poli-tics. Organizations on campus that are devoted topolitical i sues, such as Youth For Justice, FIRST.and the College Republicans and Democrats, haveplanned events this year which have failed to rousethe student body into political action.

Rock the Vote. a campaign endorsed by MTVwhich attempts to get students to register to vote,held an event at the EI n' Gee on October 15th. TheFlashcubes, a well-known power-pop band fromSeattle. along with the local band Gridlock, per-formed there to a crowd so small one could countthe number of attandees on both hands and one foot.Other than members of FIRST, one Voice reporterand her friend, there were zero Conn students thereeven though the concert was sponsored by FIRST,CC Downtown, and SGA. Not only was the musicgood, but the event was free, ended before the TNEbegan, and transportation was provided.

How many people signed up to vote? None.The final of four Connecticut gubernatorial de-

bates on October 19th filled Palmer Auditorium.However, the vast majority of the audience wasmade up of New London residents and members ofthe surrounding communities. The youth of the areawas represented by a Boy Scout troop stationed inthe balcony and students who seemed to have beendragged by their hair to the event by their politi-

. cally aware professors.There are 311 students at Conn from the fine state

of Connecticut and al\ out-of-state students can reg-ister to vote in-state while attending school here.More importantly, al1 students, with the exception

of a few frosh, are of voting age and have a civicresponsibility to make themselves a part of thedemocratic process. It would be nice to think thatthe reason no one showed up at Rock the Vote isbecause everyone has registered already, but thelikelihood of that is slim considering the fact thatfew students even bothered to show up at the de-bate to learn about the candidates.

Perhaps young people are unaware of the sig-nificance of a gubernatorial election. The course ofConnecticut may change drastically depending onwho is elected, which will in turn affect our Col-lege. The media certainly saw the importance; theevent was simulcast on NBC 30, and also broad-cast on CcSPAN. Reporters from all over the areawere swarming around Palmer, attempting to findstudents to interview, but there were very few.

If the entire state can be.affected by the outcomeof the debate, why is it that Conn students who livehere more than half of the year don't care aboutwhat will happen to their campus and Connecticutcommunities?

With more than a week to go before the elec-.tions on November 3rd, there is still plenty of op-portunity for those students who are registered tolearn about the candidates and get out and vote.Transportation will be provided throughout the dayto get students to and from polling places acrossthe city.

Connecticut College students are given oppor-tunities to learn about political issues on and offcampus, and by doing so get involved in making adifference, fn t);:e community .. There is nq excusefor ignorance.

OPINION

Federal courts hijacked by idealists View master plan throughinternational perspective

The recent death of gay Univer-sity of Wyoming student MatthewShepard has prompted new consid-eration of the nation's hate-crimeslaws. These laws make a crimewhose motive sterns from hatred forrace, ethnicity or religion a federalcrime, and as sucb, subject toharsher standards than state crimes.Recent political discussions, andlegislation introduced by Represen-tative Cbarles Scbumer (D-NY.·candidate for Senator). would seekto extend tbese protections towomen, homosexuals, and the dis-abled. While well-intentioned.these efforts fail to detect the basicerror and illegality inherent in thesestatutes.

These laws were passed byCongress in 1990, and were meantto 'send a message to those whowould commit hate crimes. thattheir crimes would not be toleratedaod that their hatred is wrong. Themessage is one which is correct, andneeds to be sent in one form or an-other. The problem is. bow does theCongress protect the groups whoare subject to hate crimes? One op-tion would be to make violentcrimes against anyone of thesegroups a hate crime. But the FourthAmendment to the Constitutionguarantees every citizen equal pro-tection under the law; this kind oflegislation would violate that, mak-ing some groups somehow more

To the Editor:deserving of protection than others.Wisely. the Congress rejected thisoption.

So how does one determine ahate crime, if not protecting allmembers of these target groups? Toavoid Fourth Amendment viola-tions. the Congress had to decidethat the motivation of the accusedwould have to be the deciding fac-tor in whether or not to deem their

Having recently returned from an academic year teaching atMakererer University in Kampala, Uganda. where I was a FulbrightScholar. I am inlrigued and puzzled by recent commentaries and let-ters on the editorial page of The College Voice. My experience atMakererer University was enhanced by lecture tours at universitiesin Ethiopia. Mozambique. and Nigeria.

Some students complain about insufficient "space" for clubs, orfacilities in the library. and Information Services. A New Englandcollege was used as an illustration of more extensive [and, presum-able, superior] services. A more balanced view would have been toproduce other comparative evidence from within the United Statesas well as abroad. Try learning and teaching in an African univer-sity, where limited finances result in limited facilities and where stu-dents and faculties develop extraordinary means to maximize theireducational programs. Where there are not enough books in the li-brary; where Information Services are almost unheard of; where thereis not enough classroom space to accommodate students, and wheremost faculty must share office space with two or three other teach-ers. A culture of scarcity, of necessity, teaches one to develop priori-ties. A culture of plenty needs to do the same, otherwise it will mis-use or exhaust its resources.

Some students and faculty complain about an "absentee land-lord" president without taking into account that the search for fundsto maximize educational opportunities is an essential function of aCollege president. Others suggest that leadership be left to unitswithin the community, without taking into account two major fac-torsrl.) As often as not, leadership emanating from the communityis episodic and contradictory, reflecting the range and variety of in-terests in academia; these units within the civil society serve as checksand balances on executive authority, but they are not accountable toanyone. 2.) Effective executive leadership requires that the presi-dent develop long term policies and goals which can be leavened byinitiatives from groups in the community" but such influences are nota substitute for presidential responsibilities. Administrators in Afri-can universities encounter these difficulties every day, but the checkson their authority come not from a freecivil society, or a board oftrustees, but from authoritarian governments which are rarely repre-sentative.

There are a number of students on this campus who have studiedabroad on one of many different programs available today. 1 wonderwhat they think about the various complaint/comments/etc ... foundon the editorial page of The College Voice.

----.Theater department kicks off season with Brighton Beach MemoirsBy KATIE UMANS

staff writer

Neil Simon's play, BrightonBeach Memoirs. presented October15-17 in Palmer Auditorium, is acomedic account of a young boy'scoming-of-age in the late thirties inNew York City. Directed by visit-ing artist Russell Treyz, an experi-enced and accomplished directorwho has worked on and off Broad-way. the play introduces us to fif-

- teen-year-old Eugene Jerome, anaspiring writer who wants to authorhis autobiography. In his notebook,he detai Is the dynamics and idio-syncrasies of the large familycrammed into his small house andlaments his role as the family scape-goat.

The play begins as the familywaits for Eugene's father, Jack, the

dispenser of advice and permission,to return home from work. Every-one has an issue that needs to beattended to. When Jack finally ar-rives home, the play achieves oneof its most memorable moments.The family eats in tense silence,each member waiting for the per-

I

feet moment to air his or her con-cern. This balance of comedy anddrama is the play's winning qual-

ity.Paul Reitano carries the show

as narrator Eugene. With flawlesscomic timing and plenty of energy,he brings Eugene to life, hittingperfectly the supposed detachmentand innocent cleverness of his run-ning commentary. Reitano is alsostrikingly adept at conveyingEugene's more complex emotions.When Stanley leaves home in or-der to avoid his father's wrath aftera devastating mistake, Reitanogives us one of the play's most poi-gnant moments as he tries to remainbreezy in the face of losing his be-loved older brother. BethanyCaputo is another standout in theuniformly sturdy cast. As Blanche,a woman who has always been de-pendent on others--first, her hus-band who died young, and then, herolder sister she moved in with--Caputo expressively represents thedaily strain of balancing her desirenot to be a burden with her wish tofind a life for herself and assert herown opinions and needs.

As the family falls into turmoiland the tensions that have beenstifled for so long finally surface,the play veers more toward dramawith occasional comic relief. Thesecond half does feel somewhatlong as twosome after twosomeconfronts their problems, and wewitness catharsis after catharsis tak-ing place in an almost systematicfashion. However, the intelligentdialogue and strong acting hold theplay's head above water.

The amazingly professional set_ a two story house complete withupstairs bedrooms, downstairs liv-ing and dining room, and even ayard - allows the audience to watchthe main action while being periph-erally aware of the other interac-tions taking place. In addition tocoaching fine performances fromhis cast, Treyz is to be commended"for staging that is consistently in-teresting and conscious of the au-dience, which, in this set-up, occu-pies all sides.

Gonzalez finds inspiration in hermulti-faceted approach to artBy ANNE'STAMESHKIN

staff writer

Our campus recognizes AnitaGonzalez primarily as a professorof dance, but she wears many dif-ferent hats. Gonzalez holds a doc-torate in 'theater, loves languages,researches and writes about dance,has a piano-playing daughter,Xochina, and has lived, worked,ard performed all over the world.

While studying dance at FloridaState University, she met JawoteZollar, the founder of Urban BushWomen; Zollar asked her to join thecompany. Gonzalez emphasizesthat this experience planted the seedfor her ideas of blending theater,dance, and text into performance.Stressing the relationship betweenartistic disciplines, she envisions artas "a holistic approach to educa-tion." In college, she created herown degree program, "studies infolklore," which placed art in thecontext of cultural history, because,she explains, "the past informs thepresent."

Before coming to Conn,Gonzalez taught college in Mem-phis, worked as a video technicianfor broadcast TV (Showti me &Channel II), and held a position atthe library at Lincoln Center, whereshe had the opportunity to do in-depth research on ballet. This re-search inspired her to apply for, andreceive, two Fulbright scholarships,which enabled her to travel andstudy in Honduras and Mexico.

.Recently, Gonzalez has experi-enced what she calls "a return toacademics.

Unlike"Sugar Tit," which was performedat Conn last spring, this piece ismore of a solo with variations de-pendent on the location of the per-fonnance.

As a restaurant critic, I'm supposed to be critical, but Ialsoshould set some -reasonable standard of expectations for which allrestaurants should try to achieve, and my meal at Bravo Bravo wasjust that, an achievable standard of excellence.

The establishment is nestled in the tourist haven of downtownMystic just across the drawbridge from Conn favorites such as Mys-tic Pizza, Pizza Works, and Margaritas. Bravo Bravo offers a uniquedining experience that separates it from the-others. The interior is~cely decorated with mirrors and a large bay window providing aview of West Main Street. These features allow the restaurant to useonly dimmed overhanging artificial lights along with romantic candlesat each table which sets a very aesthetically appetizing mood.

Janx knows how to jamBy GLEN HARNISH

staff writerLast Friday, October 16, as Conn College braced itselfforalumniweekend, Old Janx Spirit arrived all campus. They traveled/romtheir hometown of Ithaca, New York, where they enjoy a sizablefollowing. Having played in New York City, at First Night inBurlington, VT, and with such prominent musical acts as God StreetWine, Ominous Seapods, and Rusted Root, Old Janx is no garagebond.

A bold statement indeed, but could Janx live up to the high expec-tations? New London is certainly no Ithaca, but Conn students arevery discerning about their funk. They know how to tell the differ-ence between counterfeit groove and the genuine article.

The tension was at an all time high in the 1941 room as 10:00 PMapproached. By 10:30, the fans began to wonder whether Janx wouldeven show, or if this was simply a promotion spectacle with no realconclusion. With nothing but a row of shiny instruments to stare at,most returned to the common room of Katherine Blunt, where pre-show festivities had, by now, lapsed into a too somber, muted gather-mg. Ii'

Soon, word spread through the crowd like lightning: Old Jam Spiritwas taking the stage, and not a moment too soon!' Students rushedback to era where a magical, groovy beat could be heard comingfrom the second floor. They rushed upstairs, finding the six membersof Janx engaged in a furious jam session that would not end until latein the night. The heart of every student in the room belonged to Janx.

The band consists of two guitarists, a drummer, a bassist, and atwo-man hornlkeyboard section. Lead guitarist Ben Lee (brother ofDan Lee '01), and rhythm guitaristllead vocalist Andy Campolieto,are the heart and soul of the band. Bassist Nick Source played pass-ably and is obviously a "source" of Janx's funky essence. DrummerMike Dingley played with more enthusiasm than talent and lookedlike he could have gone all night, which he probably did. The hornsection added a twist to the mix, giving them punch on certain songs,but the keyboard was a non-factor.

Janx tore into a repertoire of songs that included a fair number ofcovers, among them were Soul Shakedown and Pick Up the Pieces,recognizable songs to which the crowd responded with excitement.Janx's own works, Hawaiian Streams, LSD in the Sky, and SimpleThought, among others, were mostly original, as well as polished.Campolieto and Lee laid down some serious guitar driven jams, trad-ing licks and skillfully using the distortion to build the momentum ofthe songs. Lee especially demonstrated skill with his instrument, us-ing the fast paced rhythm of the percussion section to deliver somenasty chords.

Visiting Artists Blum and Inuzukabring fresh perspective to ConnBy KEITH DASHEFSKY

~staff writer

Friday, Oct. j 6th, Cummingshosted ajoint showing of work fromvisiting artists Nancy Blum andSadashi Inuzuka. Although Blumwas unable to attend the showing,lnuzuka was present. Both artistsdisplayed their unique and intrigu-ing styles through their work.

lnuzuka's "Exotic Species" wasthoughtful and inspiring. He cre-ated various black clay sculpturesof imaginary creatures, thus spark-ing the viewer's imagination. Onecreature has a circular center withfive spikes that grow downwardfrom the bottom half of the circle.Some resemble sea creatures, andstill others look like highly magni-fied micro-organisms. Inuzuka dis-played his clay sculptures on twoflat mountings placed on opposite.ends of the room. In the area offloor space between the two dis-plays, Inuzuka installed a plasterform. It starts as a waveform at oneend and slowly becomes more dryand begins to crack as it progressesto the other end.

lnuzuka has been a professional'artist for the past eleven years. Heprefers to leave the true nature ofhis work undefined: "I like to cre-ate something that sparks imagina-tion and creative thinking." He notonly has the ability to create art, buthe can also turn his displays intoworks of art in and of themselves.

Nancy Blum's work was shownin a room separate from Jnuzuka'sdisplay. Blum's "Sparks" display

is an inspiring collection. By com-bining ceramics, steel and wood,she created works that seem to jumpout at you from the wall on whichthey hang. On the opposite end ofthe room from the "Sparks" display,the solitary work Three Discs ismounted. This abstract structureconsists, of three discs and a bike

chain with a handle. Each disc var-ies structurally. When the chain ispulled, the discs rotate.

Both Blum's and lnuzuka'swork is unique and thought provok-ing. These visiting artists give Con-necticut College a fresh artistic per-spective and theirshow is definitelyworth a visi to .

Broadway season opens at the GardeBy CHRISTOPHER MOJE

staff writer

On Saturday, the Garde Arts Center kicked off itsBroadway season with A Funny Thing Happened onthe Way to the Forum, starring the famous Rip Taylor.This briskly paced musical came across well--the tour-ing company fully utilized their talents in hringing outthe show's bawdy humor.

-Taylor shined in his starring role as Pseudolus, theslave who implemenets an off-the-wall plan to achievehis freedom. Taylor, following in the footsteps of ZeroMastel, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg, used hiskeen ability to ad-lib to take full advantage of a givenscenario for laughs. He ad-libbed a joke about Viagra,did a decent impression of Carol Channing, poked funat himself, and insereted New London into the script'sdialogue, although he may have overextended this par-ticular aspect of his creative license. His gift for laugh-ter stood out when two of his ad-libs caused fellowcast members to laugh uncontrollably on stage; al-though they were somewhat unprofessional, these mo-ments were enjoyable nonetheless.

His singing was adequate for the part, but was taxeda bit the show's by famous opening number ComedyTonight. It lacked the power it needed to open the showand caused the opening half- hour to drag. It seemedas if it took Taylor these thirty minutes to get warmedup and establish some momentum.

The supporting cast had their moments as well.Jonathan Beck Reed played a hysterical Hysterium, afellow slave to Pseudolus's masters. His paranoid en-ergy brought out the anxiety of the character, always

panicking about the possible problems with the plan.Pseudolus and Hysterium's masters, Senex andDomina, played by Trip Plymale and Robin O'Learyrespectively, were fun to watch. with their marital andsexual tension quite evident in their performances.

Furthermore, Plymale made Senex into such abumbling dimwit that one couldn't help but laugh athis confusion. Hero, son of Senex and Domina, wasthe quintessential whiny romantic lead. Todd Lawsonand Julie Ann Emery played the parts of Hero and Pbiliaas irritatingly as they could, causing thoughts of mur-der to dash through this reviewer's mind. JeroldGoldstein as Marcus Lycus, the proprietor of thisbrothel, gives a solid supporting performance, lendinga hand to the most enjoyable song of the show, Every-body Ought to Have a Maid. This song, a result of oDeof the many misunderstandings throughout the show,is performed by Senex, Pseudolus, Hysterium, and

Lycus.The set for this show were very simple. There was

only one for the entire show, consisting of the exteri-ors of three houses. The musical score by StephenSondheim is not one of the best, but the script, despitesome truly corny jokes, more than makes up for it. Act2 is the stronger, with its madcap chase, characters indrag, and mock funeral, making up for the slow startto the show. The creative license with the script madethis viewing of the show a unique one to say the least.Overall, despite its weaknesses as a show in generaland those particular to this petformance, A Funny ThingHappened on the Way to the Forum was a solid open-ing to another Broadway season at the Garde.

HONORmost survey participants were notsure what qualifies as breaking theCode. Many were unclear as towhether underage drinking consti-tutes a violation. Still othersclaimed that the definition of cheat-ing can be interpreted differently,therefore they were uncertain ofwhether or not they had broken theCode,

Despite the great number of stu-dents who believe in the HonorCode, fifty percent of them reportedthat they have broken it. Ninety-two percent of those students saythey have breached the code for rea-sons other than cheating. Eight per-cent reported that they have

cheated. Expecting to see a greaternumber of cheaters. students weresurprised by the low percentage,Junior Tricia Auro believes that sig-nificantly more students cheat ontests than what the survey shows."I think a lot of people come to thisschool because they can get awaywith everything. Come finals time,you hear a lot of stories about cheat-ing. It's enough to make you mad,"she declared.

Another student claimed theHonor Code "Helps cheaters grazein this school. [The administrators]don't care if students cheat. If theydid, they'd have someone watchyou." He also said he doesn't know

many people who play by the rules.He does not have much faith inConn's Honor Code, allegedingthat "[the administrators] don'twant you to get in trouble becausethey don't want to hurt the school'simage." In addition, he believesthat the J-Board will oot do any-thing to reprimand breaches in theHonor Code.

Judiciary Board Chair MattCipriano and Dean of Studeot LifeCatherine WoodBrooks countersuch accusations. They believe stu-dents can be reprimanded more se-verely at Conn than at other col-leges because punishment is left upto the students' peers. WoodBrooks

degree from Conn. The nominations are re-viewed by a " standing committee" whichconsists of of the Athletic Director; the Ex-ecutive Director of the Alumni Association;the Sports Information Director; one at largemember drawn from the staff,faculty, oralumni of the college; and one varsity ath-letic coach.

Those attending the breakfast heard an, Invocation from Chaplain Elaine and thenfrom the President of the College, AthleticDirector Ken McBryde, and Master of Cer-emonies Fran Shields. Each of the speakerstook time to commend these athletes for theirdedication and applaud them for their impacton todays sports team.

. President Gaudiani spoke in great de-tail about the development of Conn's athleticprogram in the spirit of "excellence and jus-tice in all walks of life," and this balancecan be most clearly demonstrated by our ath-letes. "In the student-athletes af this college," ,-President Gaudiani has seen "tremendoussupport of our teams who exemplify every-day their commitment to fairness and excel-lence." The balance of these two is essentialfor all aspects of the liberal arts education.

Ken McBryde described the importanceofthe individuals here, and stated that theseinductees stand as the model for later student-athletes. "People here are good people, thatis what makes Conn a great place .... Witha liberal arts education what we strive for isdeveloping the whole person that's mind,body, and soul, and these inductees haveachieved that goal."

Current men's soccer coach, Bill Lessig,had the distinct and rare honor of coachingboth the inductees. Coach Lessig, the currentmen's soccer coach, held double duty for anumber of years coaching both the women'sbasketball and the men's soccer team. Hespoke of his "true Jove of the student-athlete,and the true Jove of their college which theseathletes portray." Coach Lessig went ontoexpress his gratitude to these players as wellas his pride in having the honor of coach bothof these athletes.

Inductee Laura Brunner Gulden wasunfortunately unable to attend the breakfast,but sent friends and family to accept on herbehalf. Jeff Hill, who assisted Coach Lessig,spoke of Laura fondly as the "type of athletewho commands attention. Fans, teammates,and coaches gravitate towards her. She wasthe center of the team, not only by positionbutin spirit as well. She was the focal point."During her career from 1982-86, Guldenplayed basketball, soccer, and lacrosse. How-ever, it was her talent in basketball which wasrecognized on Saturday.

Gulden led her teams to consecutiveNorth Intercollegiate Athletic Conferencechampionships in '85 and '86 and compileda four year record of 63-23. She remains sec-ond on the all time points list with 1,484 andalso in rebounds with 1,009. She averaged17.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game dur-ing her time here and still holds the record

for most points in a game with 37. She wasnamed to the American Women's Sports Fed-eration AII- American Team all four of heryears at Conn. H..ill referred to her as "themost important player who ever played here."With her arrival, she helped to transform un-successfuJ teams, winning 90% of the gamesshe competed in. "Laura was the beacon, sheset the example. Teams which came throughafter her knew of her and followed the tradi-tion set by her and her teams."

Gulden's parents Mrs. and Mr. Brunnerwere able to attend the induction as well asmany of her teammates. They commented"Laura is simply overwhelmed by the honorshe's been given and wished she could havebeen here. She enjoyed her time at Conn im-mensely, because of what basketbalJ meantto her while she played. It was much morethan a team, but became a family. The friend-ships she formed went beyond the court andextend to the families of her teammates toform a unique and special program here atConn."

The second inductee of the day JeffGeddes was accompanied by many of histeammates and his wife and daughter.Geddes was one of the many who were nomi-nated by his teammates. He recalled" thegreatest thing about playing soccer at a smallcollege like Conn are the relationships youcreate. Harkness Green is the best place toplay because the crowds really pull youthrough a tough game and get you going."He went onto to emphasize the value of asmaU conference where you create relation-ships with guys from the conference, "I stillrun into (in the business world) guys fromMiddlebury or Bowdoin and have an imme-diate connection with them.

Jeff Geddes, who was a two-time All-American and four-time AIl- New Englandselection in soccer, led his team to a 39-11-2record and two post-season appearancesthroughout his career (1985-89). Geddes stillholds the Camels record for both all- timepolnrs scored with J 46 (points are given forgoals and assists) and for goals with 58throughout his career. In 1986 Geddes ledthe soccer team in scoring with 43 points ashis team went 13.-3 and reached the champi-onship game of the ECAC New England Di-vision ill tournament for the first time in eightyears. Two years later, Geddes helped theCamels to return to post-season play leadingthe team to a 9-3-2 regular season record withan appearance in the semi-finals of the ECACtournament.

In closing, Geddes recalled the value ofhis time hear at Conn and how coming backgave him the same great feeling it had yearsago. ''This is a great day, its great to see team-mates here in support of me: that is a realhonor. It was great seeing Coach Lessig againand the whole day has just added to the won-derful memories I already have."

It was a fabulous day for current studentsand alums to share and celebrate in the enor-mous pride felt in our athletic program here.

feels students learn more about theirmoral values after facing their peersthan after facing an external con-duct officer, She claims that insti-tutions with self scheduled examsand honor codes have fewer inci-dence of students cheating. Sheattributes this information to a 1990survey of 30 undergraduate collegesand universities issued by DonMcCabe. In addition, Woodbrookssays there are generally less than teninstances of academic dishonestybrought before the J-Board eachyear.

Cipriano admits that the J-Board can be hard on wrongdoers,but claims the council's purpose isnot to make life miserable for stu-dents violating the unseen HonorCode. Also, despite student con-

cerns about the Code's vagueness,Cipriano believes that the HonorCode can be followed without be-ing set in stone. Glen Harnish dis-agrees with Cipriano concerningthe severity of the J- Board's pun-ishments and believes teachers area lot more understanding of stu-dents. Harnish added, ''The HonorCode's so unclear that it gives toomuch leeway to theJ-Board. Thesekids [the members ofl-Board] havesomething to prove."

Survey results show that of the106 students polled, 27% of themsigned the Honor Code knowing theywould break it. Although all Connstudents vow to uphold the HonorCode, it is clear that many remainconfused about exactly what they arepledging their dedication to.

Writers House sponsors open rnic nightsBy BRET COHEN

Most dorms on campus consistof residents who are randomlythrown together and don't share anycommon interests. This way of liv-ing is fine for a lot of people, butsome people seek a c\oser reiauon-ship with their dorm mates and seekto live in an environment wherepeople share common interests. At360 Mohegan, students are given-the opportunity to live in apart-ments of 3 or 4 people in whicheach group of people lives under acommon theme. In order to gain theprivilege of living at 360 Mohegan,students must submit a proposal andthen make a presentation to a com-mittee of administration and stu-dents in which they present their

professions available at the hospi-tal [and] is really important expo-sure." Wettlaufer's opinion wassynonomous with many of the atti-tudes held by the representativeswho attended the career fair. As TedNovick, a 1997 graduate of theCollege and John Hancock repre-sentative summed up, "I think theCareer Fair is realJy good for set-ting students up for the future."

This year, one of the apartmentsat 360 Mohegan is occupied by -three guys who dub themselvesWriters House. Dan Murphy, AlecOunsworth, and Noah Rubin de-cided the)' wanted to live at 360Mohegan and live under a themebased on reading and writing. Lastyear, they all lived near each otherand found that they would oftencome together and socially talkabout authors and about writing andthey decided that they would like itif more students became interestedin writing to the point that they are.

The members of Writers Houseare interested in trying to generatea community of writers on campusas Dan Murphy puts it. In order toobtain this objective, they have

planned a series of open mic nightswhere people can come to read theirown writing, read others work, andenjoy writing in a more social en-vironment than class. The first openmic night was very encouraging tothe members of Writers House be-cause a lot of people showed up andwere very positive about the event.At tile open rnic, people read theirown work, others work, performedsongs, and created a social eventthat was relatively intellectual.More open mlc nights are planned,with one taking place every month.In addition to these events, WritersHouse is planning to solicit piecesof writing of all kinds from the stu-

Conversation with Prof. Emeritus ofDance Myers revives College historyBy ABBY CARLEN

staff writer

At a time when ConnecticutCollege students were all female,Professor Martha Myers urged herdance students to not let the "dia-monds splashing from their fourthfingers sway their dreams." Thirtyyears later, Myers returned 10 speakfor Homecoming 98 and remindedthe school to "acknowledge its glo-rious past." On October 16, Myers,a world renowned Professor Emeri-tus of Dance, joined students, pro-fessors, and alumnae from over 50years of college history to give alecture entitled "Connecticut Col-lege Before Coed."

Memories were sparked by anexhibition of photographs and year-books. Alumnae and professorsfrom the pre-eo-educational daysrecollected the days of ten o'clockcurfews, Wednesday afternoon teas,and dressing for dinner. It wasnt

until 1970, one alumna stated, thatfemale students were "allowed towear slacks to tea." Myers reviewedheadlines and editorials from Con-necticut College newspapers fromthe 1950s and 1960s. She com-mented on the past students' over-whelming interest in events outsideof campus. "They wrote on civilrights issues and the Vietnam war"and placed a "strong emphasis onthe arts and the causes and effectsof marriage," she said.

Many alumnae and professorsagreed with Myers's claim thatConnecticut CoUege became co-edin a "boisterous era." The co-edu-cation movement was a countrywide progress, and Conn has beencited for a "smooth transition"when it began admitting men in1969. Myers emphasized that sinceConnecticut College was a rela-tively young school at the time, itdid not have many alumnae whowere stalwarts for a single sex

school.Nelly Murstein, a current pro-

fessor who taught and witnessed thefirst years of coeducation, detectedchanges in the classroom atmo-sphere with the admission of men.The female students tended to takecopious notes and look up infre-quently, she said, while men mademore eye contact and fielded morequestions. Men began to take overmost student government positions,and the student leadership of theschool became more dominated bymales.

Although most alumnae andprofessors present supported thedecision to admit men, they agreedwith Myers that the school lost "acertaio air of civility" with its tran-sition. In closing, Myers urged theConnecticut College community topursue discovery of its pre-coedu-cational culture through similar lec-tures and alumni events.

A message sent out to all dormsfrom their Housfellows conceringa food and clothing drive for vic-tims of hurricane Georges has cre-ated animosity between theHousefellows and members of theMinority Students Steering Com-mittee (MSSC). Members of Smithdonn received the message askingfor aid.

Dean of Student LifelDirector ofResidential Life.

Apparently, the student in-tended to do a fun voice-mail inorder to obtain students' attention.Although the message was made inpoor judgment, Cyr-Goodwin statesthat the intention was not meant tohurt any students.

Sara Scully, Housefellow ofKB, felt that "no one had bad in-tentions," and that "we[Housfellows] were completely forit [the food and clothing drive]."

However, several members ofthe college community are offendedby the voice message. CarlaLaracuente, a junior and AssistantChair of MSSC, claims that "as

Clinton signs drug, alcohol notification lawBy Sally Williamson

The Stanford Daily (Stanford U.)STANFORD, Calif.-Students caught violating Stanford's drug

and alcohol policies may have to deal with a new set of conse-quences, now that new federal legislation permits the University totell their parents about such incidents.

On Oct. 7, a bill passed by Congress was signed by PresidentClinton, giving universities the authority to notify parents of astudent's alcohol and drug violations.

President Clinton signed the reauthorization of the HigherEducation Act, a bill that primarily focuses on the reduction ofinterest rates for federal college loans but also contains a measureon parental notification.

Previous federal law prohibited universities from disclosingrecords of students above 18 years of age, preventing schools fromnotifying parents of a student's drug and alcohol use. However,after a string of five alcohol-related deaths last year on Virginiacampuses, the bill to disclose.the substance use of students under21 but over. 18 was recommended to Congress in July.

Students claim U. New Mexico ahostile campus environment

By James BarronDaily Lobo (U. New Mexico)

rI •I~~-------------------------------------------------------~

r:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A group of concerned students atUNM held a press conference at Mesa Vista Hall on Wednesday tohighlight what they call a hostile campus environment."

A group of five students addressed a crowd of 30 to 40 people,including a handful of members of local media, about what theyperceived as tolerance for inappropriate behavior by UNM adminis-trators.

Much of the criticism was directed at the university newspaper,the New Mexico Daily Lobo. Behind the group were three displayswith recent letters to the editor and cartoons from the Daily Lobo'sOpinion page.~ The displays included two editorial cartoons regarding recent

incidents along Fraternity Row. It also included several letters,column by UNM professor Richard Berthold on El Centro de LaRaza and a L.A. Cucaracha "Slave Wench" editorial cartoon fromSept. 23. The L.A. Cucaracha cartoon is a syndicated cartoon.

Chenoa Bah Stilwell, one of the concerned students, said theDaily Lobo contributes to the hostile atmosphere toward womenand students of color on campus.

"The Daily Lobo should be scrutinized by the PublicationsBoard for poor decisions made in the newspaper," she said. "TheDaily Lobo staff should participate in a sensitivity/cultural aware-ness on a continual basis. This could be accomplished through thecampus Diversity Council or other such entities."

Relaxation techniques may dropmidterm-induced stress

rePenn State U.

By MARY JORDANDaily Collegian

STATE COLLEGE, Penn.-For some students, this is· the timeof year when they find themselvesripping their hair out and wishingwinter break were here.

Midterms are in full swing, andstress may be building up. Althoughmany people may not be able toavoid stress, there are ways to dealwith it.

There is no "magical secret" torelieving stress, said Mark Roy, as-sistant professor of health and hu-man development, adding people

deal with stress in their own ways.Some students, sucb as Boris Grot(junior-computer engineering) andMelissa Patrizio (senior-psychol-ogy) find exercising helps deal withstress.

"1 go to aerobics everyday,which helps relieve stress," Patriziosaid. Roy said active relaxation,such as yoga, meditation or takinga walk are good ways for people toforget about their worries. Othersfind that taking naps, watching tele-vision or hanging out with friendshelps ro forget about schoolwork."I take naps here and there to reju-venate," Patrizio said.

A number of factors contributeto stress response, including thelevel of exposure to stress and aperson's general disposition, Roysaid. Coping with stress IS the ulti-mate way -to avoid it from takingover. 'Coping can come from a

person's personality or it can belearned. "Some people never seemto be trouhled and others may bebothered hy something relativelysmall," Roy said. Some people fretand worry while others do some-thing about it. "If you eat well andsleep well, you may be better pre-pared 10 deal with stress," he said.

Roommates Kara Petyo (fresh-man-business logistics), KristinFoster (freshman-division of under-graduate studies) and Lisa Zito(freshman-marketing) said theywork out every day as well as takeplenty of naps.

Zito said she took a three-dayweekend to relax and reward her-self for her hard work and goodexam grades.

Others just take it one day at atime.

"I look forward to Friday to getthrough the week," Patrizio said.

U.Connecticut's student governmentthreatens McDonald's protest

rePenn State U.

By MICHELLE MCLEARYDaily Campus

STORRS, Conn.-In response tothe alleged mistreatment of fiveUConn students by McDonald'semployees in Mansfield, members ofthe Undergraduate Student Govern-ment voted unanimously to hold aprotest against the McDonald's res-taurant unless it issues a formal apol-ogy by Nov. 4.

Colin Kong, a graduate studentin cellular molecular biology whowas involved in the incident, re-

-counted the details of the evening ofMay 17, the date of the incident. Hesaid he and four of his friends wereon their way to the Mohegan Suncasinos and decided to stop at theMcDonald's restaurant on Route 195inMansfield. There, the group foundthe workers sitting in front oftbe ser-vice counter, talking with friendswho were not wearing uniforms,Kong said the workers made no mo-tion to serve the five students.

"One of the women said, 'We'resorry, McDonald's is closed becauseof a bomb threat;" Kong said. "Wegot the pretense that it was a jokingmatter because there were at least 15people just sitting around in there."

One of Kong's friends noticedfood still underneath the heat lampsand he asked a woman with a head-set on ifMcDonald's was open. Shesaid 'no' and asked the five to leave,Kong said.

Once in the car, Kong said theynoticed a car pulling through thedrive-thru.

"We just couldn't believe it,"Kong said.

The students tried getting servedthrough the drive-thru and were goingto be served until the worker recognizedKong's voice. They were then toldagain McDonald's was closed due to abomb threat

"As we were leaving, we saw whowe foond out later was the shift man-ager - the woman with the headset -and another woman outside yelling'Cbinks,' '00 home' and other racialslurs," Kong said. 'Then they looksome of the ornamental stones andthrew them at our car." Kong and threeof his friends who were involved thateveningareAsianAmerican. Theotheris Caucasian.

Kong and his friends went to thepolice and told them their side of thestory.The McDonalds' employees saidthe students were trying to get free food."The officers asked to check our wal-lets," Kong said. "That's when [theemployees'] story started to fall apartbecause wehad about four orfive hun-dred dollars inwallets to go to MoheganSun. We obviously could pay for a fewhamburgers:' A suhpoena for the shiftmanager's arrest was issued, but themanager has since disappeared, Kongsaid.

Koog said what he and his friendsare looking for is an apology from therestaurant What they have gotten is anoffer for fiee hamburgers, which hasbeen turned down. '1 wanted anapol-ogy for my dignity and they wanted tosupplement that with hamburgers,"Kong said. The McDonald's restau-rant bas not responded to letters or in-vitations to the USG meeting, whichthey did not attend.

After a revision of the piece of leg-islation, it was unanimously passed thatUSG "strongly denounces McDonald'smanagement failure to issue a formalapology, requests a fonnal apology" tothe students and will hold a protestmarch outside the McDonald's restau-rant, unless management issues an apol-ogy by Nov. 4.

Douglass College junior StacySchesser addressed the concerns ofDouglass women from a perspec-tive of safety. She said all theDouglass students want to go toCollege Avenue in their first yearfor a source of entertainment.

"They memorize the number ofthe drunk bus in the first weekend,but I've heard stories of .womenhitchhiking hack 10 Douglass whenthey were drunk," she said.

However Schesser said there arenot many other sources of amuse-ment in the area.

''There have to be alternatives.We don't have money to go out toclubs, or restaurants or shows,"Schesser said. The committeehopes to find activities that will fos-ter a "safe educational environ-ment," the committee's chairpersonRobert Pandina, director of the Cen-ter for Alcohol Studies, said. "Partof this is looking for alternatives toalcohol-related events... "Is it alcohol that holds non"

structured events together? Admin-istrators are not interested in re-stricting the alcohol policy. Theyare interested in dealing with theproblems associated with the use ofalcohol and alternatives," Pandina

. said.Though the alcohol-related

death of a College of Engineeringstudent last week sent shockwavesthrough the community, it was notdiscussed at the forum.

Jason Greco, 20, suffered fatalhead injuries Oct. 8 after fallingdown a flight of stairs to the base-ment of his residence, Theta Chifraternity house on Mine Street. Heand his friends had spent theevening at Oide Queens Tavern onEaston Avenue, where he wasserved alcohol and was reportedlydrunk.

Lisa Laitrnan, health service di-rector at Hurtado Health Center, ison the committee and heads up adrug and alcohol treatment pro-gram. She said the alternatives be-ing presented might not help thosestudents who detract from the safeenvironment of the University.

"The students I see every dayare not here tonight. There are manyresponsible students, but many whotake serious risks. We have to beaware of that," Laitman said.

The experience of Chinese dis-sident Wang Dan, a leader of theTiananmen square student protestsof 1989, shows just how much.

Wang spoke on "Human RightsActivism in China: An EyewitnessAccount." He described his expe-riences in China from 1989, as anundergraduate history major atBeijing University who founded a

forum to discuss democracy, tospring 1998, when he was releasedfrom prison and flown to Detroit onparole.

He has become a history studentagain, this time at Harvard Univer-sity.

(U-WIRE) NEWBRUNSWICK, N.J:- The socialpolicy committee, which is study-ing way of curbing excessive drink-ing on campus, emphasized studentresponsibility when drinking at aforum in the Cook Campus Centerlast night.

"You have to put the pressureon students to take responsibility.Open up communication and letthem register parties," Cook Col-lege senior Bobby Johnson said.

One proposal that was widelydiscussed was creating a Univer-sity- wide policy similar to Cook'salcohol policy.

Residents ofthe Newells Apart-ments on the Cook campus mayregister a one-beer keg party with aset number of guests as .long as atleast three residents and two othersin Ihe apartment are 21. Also, theymust attend a seminar on register-ing parties, Sean Spinello, assistantdean of residence life at Cook. said.

"You can only turn your headand roll the dice so many times be-fore you get burned," Johnson said.

Johnson also offered an alterna-tive to the University's policy bysuggesting creating an 18-to-enter,21-to-drink club where students canentertain themselves in a non-struc-tured environment 00 weekends.

"We don't want people to justgo home.

We don't want Rutgers to havethe reputation of a suitcase school,'.'he said.

About 20 students attended theforum with the committee, whichwas fanned by University PresidentFrancisL. Lawrence in January andwas charged with the task of chang-ing the culture of college drinkingat Rutgers.

The committee is expected to.report its analysis of current alco-hol education programs and makerecommendations for improve-ments in February.

"We've heard a lot about thefrats' and Rutgers College's viewson this, but Cook/Douglass students

During the subsequent nine-year period, Wang was arrested andheld in prison twice, charged withparticipating in a counterrevohj.,tionary conspiracy and conspiracyto overthrow the government, andwas sentenced to a total of 15 yearsin prison.

At the age of29, Wang has spentmore than six years in prison.

'The guarantee of human rightsfor people is the basis of dernoc-

racy;" Wang said. lIe said theseobjectives are his two main goalsfor China in the future.

He described bimself and thestudents who joined him in protestfor such rights as the "Tiananmengeneration," whose role is to giveChina a new face in internationalpolitics as a "democratic, respon-sible, reasonable country."

Conn have been hearing rumors ofa state of the art satellite televisionsystem. Officially, the system wassupposed (0 be installed over thesummer, but when students re-rumed in the fall, there was no ap-parent progress in regards to satel-lite television in the dorms. Stu-dents began to wonder if satellitetelevision was on the same sched-ule as the plex renovations. How-ever, progress became apparentwhen the fight over the billing tookcenter stage.

In what seems to be a victoryfor students, the billing for the sys-tem will not be placed on studentsphone bills as originally planned,rather the administration will workthe fees into the general budget.

At the end of October, the com-pany is going to test the quality ofthe reception, but Renaud is notbanking on a November first startup date as of yet.

In response. Rowland ad-dressed the flaws in Kennelly'sproperty tax proposal and ques-tioned which taxes she would in-crease to support the programs sheplans to add. Rowland concen-trated on what he and his adminis-tration have accomplished duringhis term, such as the $1.3 billion cutin inheritance and gas taxes, wel-fare reform, the creation of 100,000new jobs, and the revitalization ofcities such as New London.Rowland's theme throughout thedebate was "campaign rhetoric ver-

sus campaign action," a phrase heused repeatedly to counterKennelly's arguments.

Following the opening state-ments, Casey, Monahan, and Car-penter asked questions in sequenceas the candidates alternated re·sponses. The candidate that an-swered first was allowed two min-utes to make an argument and thesecond candidate was allowedninety seconds for rebuttal. Ques-tions asked covered a wide rangeof topics including campaign fi-nancing, privatization, victims'rights, campaign regrets, and plansfollowing the results of the election.

With regard to education, thecandidates discussed using statefunds or vouchers to pay for stu-dents to attend non-public schools.Rowland opposes this, and notedprograms such as Project Concern,school-choice, and Magnet and

When asked about campaignfinancing, both candidates skirtedthe question. Rowland said that"businesses aren't allowed to con-tribute" to campaign funds, butavoided further discussion of thetopic beyond noting that Connecti-cut has been "cutting-edge" in cam-paign reform. He devoted the rest

In Wang's answers to the ques-tions, some of which were phrasedin his native Chinese. he said anycontact between China and the U.S.was beneficial in promoting thedemocratization of China. Wangsaid the East Asian financial crisisshowed the dangers of pushing foreconomic reform without politicalreform, and stressed the need for

litical reform, but said he was skep-tical about the popular electionsheld at the village level in China,pointing out that 70% of the offi-cials ejected in this way are mem-bers of the Communist Party, andthat similar elections are not heldin urban areas with a more educatedpopulace.

He also emphasized the fact that

despite the efforts to establish po-litical parties in China, each party'splatform still includes a statementestablishing their respect for theleadership of the Communist Partyand the presidency of Jiang Zemin.

At one point, a mciiiber of theaudience stood up and, speaking atlength in rapid Chinese, claimed theAmerican media exaggerated thehuman rights situation in China.Wang responded quickly, saying he

of his time -to discussing the futureof the state in very general terms.Kennelly, who questioned the ac-curacy of Rowland's answer, statedthat most of her financing camefrom individual supporters includ-ing her friends, family, and cowork-ers.

Following the end of the ques-tion period, both candidates bad twominutes to make closing statementsand arguments, beginning withCongresswoman Kennelly.Kennelly reinforced her desire to beelected, which she feels would pro-vide her with an opportunity towork towards providing better jobs,improving schools, safe-guardingneighborhoods, and creating a bet-ter life for Connecticut residents.She added that by casting their bal-lots in her favor, voters-were mak-ing the critical choice of acceptingthe "shared responsibility to pass on

to our children a better life."Rowland concluded the debate

by asking "for your support andyour vote." He pointed out the dif-ferences between his andKennelly's campaigns and restatedhis vision for the cities, environ-ment, and quality of life in Con-necticut. Rowland finished by ask-ing voters to "support the entireRepublican team" to lead the slateinto the next century and "chooseand a better quality of life."

As the debate came to a close.the audience applauded both can-didates and many took the oppor-tunity to meet both Rowland andKennelly. The elections, which areon Tuesday November 3rd, willprovide voters an opportunity to usewhat they learned at the dehate tofully "represent democracy atwork."

SPORTSBRIEF

Bv.JASON LIEBERMAN,staff writer

Growing up in a small townoutside of Boston, I was fortunateto be surrounded by such a rich cul-ture. In fact, I can remember backas early as elementary school whenI learned three simple yet valuablelessons. These lessons were that theletter "y" can be both a consonantand a vowel; gold stars are actuallynot worth any real money, and thatthe Red Sox will never win theWorld Series because of the' 'c~~'seof the'Barnbino. .f

At first, this was hard to under-stand, but following the Sox forsuch a long period of time withmultiple disappointments, it seemsmuch more obvious now. "TheCurse of the Bambino, for those notfamiliar with Boston folklore, be-

gan when the Red .Sox sold BabeRuth to the New York Yankees fora relatively small amount of moneybecause the team owner's financialstatus was going steadily downhill.Because of this transaction, the RedSox alsowent steadily downhill andhave not won a World Series since1918. What people fail to realizeis thai the Red Sox need the cursebecause it gi ves them an identity aswell as motivation. Let me explain.

First and formost, the curse pro-vides any Red Sox fan with an ex-cuse. Over the last 80 years, theSox have never really been accusedof being a bad team. Some of thegreatest baseball players of all timeplayed for Boston including TedWilliams and Carl Yastrzemski.Though all of the failures, such asBucky Dent's 1978 playoffhomerun and Bill Buckner's inabil-

Another reason to cherish the

viewpoint

curse is that it is part of the Red Soxremarkable history and tradition.Boston has always been lookedupon as one of the most storied fran-chises in all of baseball. Peoplefrom allover the country, if not theworld, come to Boston each year totake in a.ballgame at historic

C.U. un-leashed their offense, scoring fourunanswered goals. KevinMarkett had IWO of those· whileBen Hughes and John Schechnereach had one. Assisting on twoof those goals was KimHillenbrand and assisting on athird was Ben Hughes.

When youare at a Sox game, you can almostfeel an eerie presence. as if the Babeis actually looking down uponFenway Park.

Finally, the Curse of theBambino brings Boston fans to-gether almost as if everyone was

Sajeski, Jeff "Pipemaster"Perkins, and Sialesh "L- Train"Tiwari. Scoring the lone goal forBlackstone was Dave "the Wiz-ard" Toth.

Scoring for the Riders in thisgame was led by Teddy"Ballgame" Ridgeway who hadtwo goals. Christian Gratton andJosh Keeney each had one goalin the game. Assisting on the R.R.goals were "Lc'Train't Tiwari, An-drew "D.D." Poole, and BenDore. Scoring the lone goal forBarcelona was Jon Cooper.
