Ken McBryde chosen asnew Athletic Director

by Dan TompkinsNEWS EDITOR

K01l" McBryde, Umass-Dartmouth's current Athletic Di-rector, will officially start at Connon July I.An offer made last.Tburs-day was accepted verbally on Fri-day by Arthur Ferrari, dean of thecollege.Ferrari characterized McBryde as

an "experienced administrator,"adding that he is a talented coachand "star athlete" as well. Thosetalents will allow McBryde to "bet-rer understand people be workswith." Ferrari feels that McBryde'sexperience is one of the keys to hishiring, and Mcbryde himselfwanted to discuss issues of longev-ity.Ferrari responded to allegations

that McBryde had a record of short .tenures and might not be a lastinginfluence at Conn. McBryde was atone position in the past for six years,and left fWQ others early after beingunable to correct bad situations lead-ing to NCAA violations.In response to allegations that

McBryde was asked back for a sec-ond interview while other candi-dates were not, Ferrari stated that itis common procedure to ask the top

candidate back, more to woo themthan to gain more information.Ferrari also defended the pool

enhancement process, saying thatthe college is very concerned withissues of diversity in hiring. Hemade clear that he had "done every-thing by the book, including ag-gressive affirmative action." Hefeels that the diversity of the facultyand staff can only add to the educa-tion of students, and that pool en-hancement is a "normal process" atany school that is "interested indiversity."McBryde met with a faculty mem-

ber and an area alum at his secondmeeting. He also met again withFerrari, President Gaudiani, and in-terim A.D. Wayne Swanson.McBryde's experiences range

from several A.D. positions to be-ing a team member in the '73 WorldGarnes as a runner. He also partici-pated in the '72 and '76 Olympictrials. Ferrari feels that McBryde'sexperiences will bri~ more di-mensions to the position of AthleticDirector.In addition to the administrative

duties, McBryde will act as an Ad-junct Associate Professor of physi-cal education, in which he has adegree.

Ground is broken at Habitat for Humanity/Conn College houseby Evan Coppola

Construction will begin withinthe next month on ajoint Habitat forHumanityl Conn College house lo-cated in New London. Friday'sgroundbreaking at the site was at-tended by the Hall family, who willoccupy the house after its construc-tion, President of the College ClaireGaudiani, New London Mayor JaneGlover, and Southeastern Connecti-

cut Habitat for Humanity PresidentTheresa Broach, as well as CollegeChaplain Steve Schmidt anda crowdof volunteers, press, and well-wish-ers."Property and horne ownership is

one of the great American dreams,"saidGaudiani, wholikenedtheeventto an old-fashioned New Englandbam raising. She added, "We aresharing muscle, energy and time, tomake a dream come true."Glover thanked the college com-

munity for what she termed "a con-tinuing conunitrnent on the part ofConn College to get involved in thecommunity." The traditional act ofbreaking ground on the site of thesoon-to-he-built house was sharedby Gaudiani, Micab Mortali '99,Glover, and Diane Hall, the futurehomeowner. Hall stated that snenever doubted that one day shewould own her own home, butthanked Conn College and Habitatfor Humanity for making the dream

come true sooner than expected.The construction of the home

will not be easy, however, sincethe lot is completely unimprovedand therefore lacks electrical orsewage systems. The lot was do-nated by former New Londoo resi-deot Vincent Zukowski, whomoved to Sonoma, California, andwas unable to sell the site.Administration and planning for

the project have been handled by asteering committee composed of

students, faculty, staff and memhersof the Habitat for Humanity Boardof Directors. This committee mustapprove all aspects of the pianningand construction, from selection ofthe fami! y to !eceive the house, toactual construction plans. 'We arereally very excited that Coon Col-lege is getting involved," said DavidGood, a loca) Habitat for Humanitychair. "I think It will be great for fuecollege community."

'97, a published co-author of twoarticles with Professor MarcZimmer, has worked in Hale be-fore. during, and after the renova-tion, and she has noted the improve-ments. Regarding thequalityofthecollege's science department, shesaid, "Employers are impressed bythe opportunities Connecticut COl-lege students have in this field."Despite the cold, windy weather

outside of the laboratory that day,speakers were in high spirits. Short-ening his planned address, PfizerCEO William C. Steere, Jr. none-theless managed to express his op-timism. "I like to think of us aspartners in innovation," he said,"Your business, like ours, dependson products of the mind."Following the ribbon cutting,

job on campus. If students pursue ajob off campus, then they are facedwith the problem of transportation.Thus, students are now begging totake their employment into theirown hands. Many students on theConnecticut College campus have

. begun their own businesses, andmost have been successful.Eric Nevin, a senior, has begun

his own web page business and hehas been very successful. He is veryexperienced with computers, andhe has been working with them formany years.Nevin explains, "Basically I de-

sign pages for anyone who needs aweb page. There are many businessand institutions looking for webpages." The demand for web pagesis incredible, and thereis a lot ofroom for people to get involved inthe business."There is abig demand for graphic

designs and web sites,' explainsNevin, "and people are charging abundle for web pages."For a number of years Nevin has

been helping people with comput-ers, such as troubleshooting, but it-was not until he arrived at Conn thathe discovered the Web and the nu-merous possibilities involved."I now design more than Iteach,"

admits Nevin: "It's terribly timeconsuming, but it's a lot of fun.There is always maintenance andupdating involved in web pages,you are always adding and improv-ing."Nevin says that the time involved

in creating web pages can vary.

"You can throw one together in tenminutes, or an hour, but an elabo-rate site can take weeks."An on campus newspaper deliv-

ery service, run by Timothy Reuterand Daniel Kline, is also very suc-cessful. Reuter and Kline managethe delivery service of the BostonGlobe and the New York Times oncampus. The papers get {1eliveredto campus around 5:30 AM, andthey are responsible for orchestrat-ing the delivery process. Ideally thepapers should arrive at students'rooms by 7:30 a.rn., but as Reuterexplains, things often go wrong."Every morning 1wake up, and

hope that the papers have been de-livered. I have to deal with com-plaints when something goes wrong.'Fun' is definitely not the word forthis job, it is a pretty high stressjob."

Last year, Reuter was planningon taking the year off to travel, so besecured a newspaper delivery job.He arranged his current positionthrough the representati ves at thenewspaper.Reuter is responsible for hiring

delivery people, collecting orders,fielding complaints and advertis-ing.It's not a huge time investment,'

he explains. "The hardest part is thefirst three weeks of the. semester,then it gets better. I have nevermanaged anything before, 1 don'tknow much about businesses, but Ijust muddle through it."

THE COLLEGE VOICE --- FRJDAY, MAY 9, 1997

Pollack criticizesscientific community

by Peter GrossTHE COLLEGE VOICE

In honor of the newly renovatedHale Laboratory, professor and au-thor Robert Pollack spoke in Cro's1962 room on Wednesday, May 7.His lecture, entitled "Hard Days onthe Endless Frontier," was on thescientific community, morespecifi-cally on the state of the microbio-logical community that ProfessorPollack is a part of. He started out"by calling the field of microbiology"broken," comparing the science'sinfancy, when a small amount ofmoney and a little effort would yielda major breakthrough, to me presentday, where everything left to bediscovered requires expensiveequipment and large governmentgrants.Pollack put forward two theories

that might explain why his commu-nity is in such a state. One of themblamed the changing face of biol-ogy as we know it. Because currentscience dictates that everything weneed to know about life can be foundin DNA, there are no more break-throughs to make, and all the workis just translating animal genes.Because it has been so long sincethe last breakthrough, and since nonew breakthroughs loom on thehorizon, the scientific communityis in a sort of limbo.The second theory suggested that

it was just the "Scientific Economy."Just as governments and businessescan experience an economic slump,so can a scientific field. A smallerfederal sciencebudget means fewergovernment grants. With less moneyspent on grants, more and morescientists. would be hard pressed tocontinue their work, especially with-out federal aid.However, Pollack doubted that

either of these theories was thecause, and instead pointed out a. third possibility: a slump in tbe sci-entific morale. Pollack pointed outthat he is one ofthe few scientists inthe field who was present during theearly days of nticrobiology, a timewhen scientists accepted one an-other as equals, because they all hadto work together to accomplisb thedaunting task ofleanting everythingabout that which they knew almostnothing. They shared their knowl-edge, their fears, and their honestopinions of each others' work. Inthe modern scientific community,people are afraid to share knowl-edge in case it is used for a patent,and afraid to share fears, in casethey are counted against them whenconsidered for a grant. Honest peercriticism is now impossible becauseeach scientist views his contempo-raries as his rivals. Pollack painteda bleak picture, saying that earlyfriendships among scientists work-ing in different laboratories havebeen replaced.with "emotional iso-lation." Scientists have ceased car-ing about which research will mostbenefit mankind, and have insteadturned towards research that willwin them a grant, enabling them tocontinue their work.Pollack concluded by saying that

the only way the field-ofmicrobTol-ogy would ever improve is if scien-tists abandon their striving for grantsin favor of teaching, consulting, andadvising, as well as "Fanning them"selves into proper humane commu-nities." A fter he ended his lectureand answered some questions, Presi-dent Gaudiani presented him with anecktie decorated with camels. Al-though perplexed at first, afterGaudiani explained that the camelwas our mascot, Pollack waspleased.

Most of them, anyway. Some areexcellent teachers. Others aremerely decent, but highly-respect-able, instructors. Overall, we'quickly realized that these Ph.D~swere very different than many ofour high school teachers; they couldanswer our questions without refer-ring to the Teacher's Edition. Or,if they did refer back to the book, itwas probably because they wrote it.We learned Conn's three Cs:

Claire, Claire, and Claire. Whetheryou agree with her or not, you getused to her rhetoric; our illustriousPresident is possibly the most well-known thing about Conn.Academicsaside, Camels get used

to another factor in Conn's ratherlimited prestige: alcohol. For whatit s worth, Conn can out-drink cam-puses twice its size. Our rugby team

may have placed fourth in tourna-ment, but they will always placefirst in drinking. As most honestrugby players will tell you, "Thereal competition begins when thegame ends."Iam amazed every time Irealize

how random life can be, as evi-denced by my corning here. Junioryear in high school I never evenentertained thoughts of college. Ihad career plans, butthe concept ofsending out admissions letters, fol-lowing up with phone calls and in-terviews, and finally getting thosecoveted acceptance letters was morethan distant: it was unthinkable.From this limited ken, many of usbranched out to include a variety ofschools in our application processes.Of those that accepted us, we choseConn. Why? Reasons abound. Itwas certainly something of an odd

choice. Honestly, there's not muchone can say of a college that iscommonly confused with UConn,whose mascot is the Camel, andwhose president has published morethan many ofi'ts professors. But wecame, and most of us found out thatwe had made the right decision.Despite the less-than-gourmet cui-sine, Conn is a great place.

Frownswere few and far between whetherpeople bad heen drinking or not(although, I must admit, the smilewom by a drinker is considerablylarger than that of a non-drinker).Momma and the Fun Boys, one

Thiswas their second year in a rowplaying Floralia, and don't besurprised to see them hereagain in the future. They defi-nitely seem to be a band onthe rise, if their following hereis' any indication.

I spoke with SAC Music DirectorNick Stem, who said of Floralia,"With the exception of the weather,I couldn't have asked for anythingmore." He added that there were nomajor problems. that he knew of,with the music flowing well and thechanging times between sets kept toa minimum. Of the music selection,he felt tbat "everyone should havebeen happy with at least one of thebands." He said the goal was toprovide as diverse a musical selec-tion as possible and give everyonesomething they could enjoy. Over-all, he said the bands were very. good and the' crowd was "excep-tional and well bebaved." He con-tinued that, "Everyone seemed tohe happy with most if not all of thebands." He said it was a pleasureworking with SAC Chair CathyBrush and added that she did a greatjob, putting in endless hours of workto ensure that Floral iaran smoothly,Heclosed by also commending TomThorpe, who worked the. tecbnicalaspects of Floralia for SAC.

"Portraits" presents accomplishedwomen of many backgrounds

by Greg LevinASS<XLATE A&E EDITOR

On Wednesday evening, April30, eight dancers, one choreogra-pher and six portrait histories weremerged into a final illustration ofmovement in the media of dance.The choreographer, Jill Becker,

who has directed numerouspieces within Europe and atMiddlebury College, andCornell and New York Uni-versities, teaches Introductionto Theory and Style and Ex-perimental Style here at Con-necticut College as a VisitingAssistant ProfessorofDance.She has brought to Connecti-cut a series of works, entitledPortraits of Women, which sets upeach piece in correlation with a his-torical biography of a female whohas demonstrated winning struggleswithin her experiences.Li Ch'ing-chou, who lived from

THE COLLEGE VOICE

Strangefolk. Lore - 2 stars

When I first played Strangefolk'snewest CD, Lore, [thought, "Wow,they sound a little like Curnutte andMaher (an acoustic duo and fre-quent Conn visitors)." And they do_Strangefolkareamixture of Ameri-can sounds: country, folk, rock 'n'roll, all wrapped up in a neat littlepackage. They also possess C&M' sability 10 make beautiful vocal har-monies. What they don't have areC&M's gifted musical ability ortheir intelligent songwriting.

On the big stage at Floralia,Srrangefolk gave the crowdexacllywhat it needed at the time - a re-laxed, fun, funky, hippie jam thatallowed everyone to slow down,chill out and have a good time.However, if you were looking forreally well crafted songs and im-pressive musicianship. you shouldhave looked elsewhere. As a bandof musicians, Strangefolk are com-petent, but certainly not dazzling.The rhythm section did a good job.Erik Gleckler laid down funky basslines and sang sweet sounding har-mony vocals, and Luke Smith'sdrumming provided each song witha funky, fun uptempoenergy. ReidGenauer did a good job of maintain-ing rhythm with his acoustic guitar.and his vocals had a pleasant sound,However, the person who shouldhave been an important componentand showpiece, lead guitarist JonTrafton, wasverydisappointing andultimately uninspiring.

Most of Strange folk's numbersdevolved into long, meanderingguitar solos, which is exactly whena lead guitarist needs to step up andshine. Trafton stepped up, butshoneas brighlly as the sun did that day.

Strangefolk's LORE, 2 stars

He is a competent guitarist, but nota very good one. His solos wererepetitive, sometimes atonal andalways uninteresting, not to men-tion slightly out of tune. Maybe hewas tired, or sick of the rain, but onstage he was asleep at the pick,seemingly going through the mo-tions.It's unusual and unfortunate, but

Strangefolk make a better recordthan live show. Lore is.a mixed bag,but it shows more promising musi-cianship than the band did on thebig stage next to Shain. ·None of thelyrics are very meaningful or pow-erful ('" lack ambilionfThink l'drather go fishin'"), but they do makesome fun, relaxing music.

"Alaska" is the strongest trackon the album. There's a nice inter-play between the electric and acous-tic guitars, a funky bass line, a beau-tiful, hushed refrain, and a searing,wah-wah guitar solo, the only goodone on the album. "Shift My Step"features the most interesting acous-tic work on the album, pretty back-ing vocal harmonies and a relaxedtempo. The pleasant "Rather GoFishin" features a great, quickPh ish-like groove and nice vocalharmonies in the bridge.

Strangefolk's more electricnumbers are bad experiments. On"Woman Child," they try 10 rockhard, but it doesn't work. It soundsout of place next to the quiet acous-tic numbers, and because they areessentially an acoustic band, thelouder material isn't very good andwinds up sounding funny. "Specu-lator" and "Poland" suffer the sameproblem.

At their best, Strangefolk arefun, relaxing folk rockers. Unfortu-nately, on disc and on stage theydon't reach any new musicalheights, and sound like a lot ofaverage jam bands out there. Their

CD Lore makes a good souvenir ofthe day, but it's not really worth aspin in your disc player.

The Simpsons, Songs in the Keyof Springfield - 4 stars

Yes, it's a collection of TV toontunes, but for any fan of the TVshow or for fans of satire in general,it's a great listen. The disc is com-posed of many of the original andparodic musical numbers featuredin the show.

Highlights (for me, at least) in-clude the theme to The Itchy &Scratchy Show, "Oh. Streetcar!" (themusical) featuring Ned Flandersshouting "Stella!," "The Amend-ment Song," a stinging parody ofSchoolhouse Rock and a mock onits newfound fans, Robert Gouletsinging the "Batman smells" ver-sion of "Jingle Bells," "FlamingMoe's," a parody of the "Cheers"theme, Homer's reminiscing aboutbuying booze with a fake LD. in "11Was a Very Good Beer," the Mono-rail Song (yes!), and my favorite,Me. Bums' "See My Vest," a parodyof Beauty and the Beast's ''Be MyGuest" in which he ruminates aboutmaking a suit out of skinned grey-hound puppies.

Oh, and as a real bonus, it fea-tures about 15 different versions ofthe Simpsons theme, including theTito Puente "Afro-Cuban" version,a "HiU Street Blues" homage, a"Dragnet" homage, and two differ-ent versions from the Halloweenspecials.

Songs in the Key of Springfieldis twisted, beautiful and fun as heck.It's a definite must have for rabidSimpson fans.

ing beats, the audience mem-bers were literally bouncingin their seats. What madethis piece so unique was thestrange narration that wenton over the music. Spokenby Bert Ifill, Damon Krieger,and Liza Tal usan , the wordsadded a confusing, mysteri-ous aura. Their repetitionmade a definite statement

that really engaged the audience inthe piece, making us ponder itsmeaning. In the end, the audiencemembers were enchanted, wantingit to continue.

Michael Adelson, the studentsin the orchestra, and their guests theTalujon Percussion Quartet shouldall be praised for a unique night ofmusic that rivaled that composedby the "dead" composers.

Energy," to "Still Faster." At timeshe lulled the audience to a calmwith a slower, softer segment, andthen electrified them with the thun-dering chords of the next move-ment.

After a brief intermission, Wil-son ended his piece with FranzLiszt's piece. Sonata in B Minor.His performance was energetic, hisfingers sweeping across the keys, attimes seeming not to touch them atall. Sometimes, when playing a par-ticularly moving piece, he was lit-erally bouncing off his bench. Theaudience loved his performance,giving him a standing ovation. Af-ter his first encore, "Autumn inWarsaw," the audence demanded asecond, but he modestly-droppedthe cover on the piano with a ner-vous smile. It was the second timethat Wilson had performed at Con-necticut College, and he was verywell recieved.

OPINIONS/ EDITORIALS

At the close of another academic year we would like to thank everyonewho has offered their advice and support to the Voice this year. It's not easy,sometimes, writing for the same people you have classes with, especiallywhen the story is not what they might wantto hear. Itis our goal to accuratelyreport on events and activities on campus, and we like to think that ourpublication adds to your college experience in some dimension.If the Voice has done anything this year, we hope it has been to improve

our role as a source of information on campus. There is more going on thanmost students think. It's easy to expect nothing. It is harder, however, to diga little deeper, ask a few more people, and give the campus community asense of a life beyond, and including, the classroom.

Notes from the Publisher's Desk***In defense of Mr. Evan CoppolaIf Evan Coppola was a sensitive, 90's type

guy, the condemnation of his article by AnneStameshkin '00 might have caused seriousdamage to his ego and prevented him fromever reviewing a musical event again. How-ever, the campus is in luck (well, sort 00because Evan i3 a stand-up guy who is kind ofa throw- back to the 80's. So, in the fashion ofLuke, Han, and the guys from Top Gun,Coppola will continue to make the world safefor a capella reviews. However, as a 90'swoman in cbarge of the campus media organi-zation, Imust rise up in defense of man who isslowly becoming one of the best writers on ourstaff.Coppola's article about the Conn ArtiSIS

spring performance with the Williams CollegeEphlats was not just the usual college newspa-per 'pal on the back.' He managed 10 criticallyreview a performance, pointing out the bad aswell as the good. The end result was a well-written, fair article which emphasized how farthe Artists have come in a short amount oftime.Performers on campus are amazed when

The Voice gives a less than comprehensivereview of the event in question, even if theyhave neglected to send us a press release; andagitated when reviewers even hint at a lessthan perfect performance. In order for ournewspaper's art section to flourish, we needboth cooperation and acceptance of honestreviews. ~In the past, Voice reviews have been either

a simple recount' of the entire concert, or anovertly too-positive review ofa mediocre per-formance .. If artists (and Artists) on campuslearn to accept honest reviews, a complimentfrom a Voice reporter will mean more, both to

the performer as well as the prospective audi-ence.Once again, Coppola should be congratulated

for not only his excellent reporting and writingabilities, but his ability to tell the truth in a fairand honest manner, without being the least bitbiting. Ms. Stameshkin should learn to acceplcompliments for what they are: "overall, theConn Artists are making tremendous strides,"sounds like a pretty positive review, so consideryourselves lucky to have recieved it.

***Huge congrats 10 SAC and Cathy Brush, as

well as the student body for making "the new,improved Floralia" a complete success, even inthe pouring rain.

-**Do your professors seem aggravated or un-

happy in these final weeks of school? Ifso, (andyou care about them, as many students do), askthem why, and while you're at it, ask them howthey feel the administration has been treatingthem lately. According to one faculty member,staff/administrator relations have "reached aboiling point."

***And finally, applause, hoots and whistles to

Res. Life for successfully housiog all of us fornext year. The new system of placing people in'the "dorms formerlylmown as Plex" first and bypreference was sheer genius. You never fail toamaze.

Camels: have a great summer; Seniors:congrats and eojoy Senior Week.

against this racist, capitalist, sexist society. Sooften we hear the cry for "progress" while wecompromise our movement. Greenpeace diedbecause of compromise. Their militancy waslost in lobbying and trying to meet with themiddle of the country, rather than dragging themiddle out of their houses getting Ihem off theirsofas to march in the street.The Earth House can very easily become the

friendly environmental house. That is what theadministration and housing people want; ahappygreen place with some fuzzy cute animaJ stuff.Recycling is nice, too. These things are fine,even helpful, but if we are not attacking theproblem at the roots, we are simple placingband-aids over the wounds of the country thatare dripping nuclear waste, and causing tears ofacid rain to come from the eyes of our children.It is too easy 10 listen and do what you are lold.Be bold. Defy the status quo agenda. Resist thetemptation of moderation.The Earth Housewas notwon through struggle.

It was asked for and was given to us by thegenerosity of the school. It was given, and as

"Power concedes nothing without struggle."-saying from the Latin Kings and QueensNationI want to offer my reflections before I leave

this institution. It is my wish t:?Yass on somewisdom and some hard lessons learned. I havetwo insights that are intrinsically linked andthat I want to share: I) everything must befought for and won through struggle; and 2)a long-term radical endpoint (revolution)must be the driving force behind all struggle.It is too easy for the moderate, middle-of-the-road approach to win out. So often we stop toconsider where the "normal" people are at.That should never be of concern. We need to. have them wonder where WE are at, and makethem question why tho- are !!Q! marching

was pointed out two months ago, it can quite easilybe taken away. Donot be fooled. The progressive,no matter bow friendly, will only help you outuntil you start making them look bad. The EarthHouse sbould never have been a gift. It shouldhave been a hard won victory of struggle and, if ithad been, the students would control what it saysand what it does. Right now the students do oat.The Earth House is controlled by the administra-tion (student life), kepi on a leash, and its radicalideas are kept silent.Well you know what? No mailer how many

recycling bins we have, capitalism is going togrind up the planet and Ihe happy environmentalmovement is going to die of cancer in their suits,ties and nice skirts. We need to understand thatsexism, racism and environmentalism are all con-nected, linked by the ideology of hierarchicalexploitation perpetuated by capitalism, and untilthat changes, the modem industrial structure isgoing to continue to tum the planet and its peopleinto profits for the already wealthy, while the poorget the fall-out and pollution.The point here is that we at the Earth House are

gagged by the single-issue, band-aid conscious-ness which refuses 10 realize Ihe real roots of theproblem. Further, since the house was not won bystruggle, we simply say OK and smile, happy 10 bea friendly green spot thai can be peddled in theadmissions building. Ifreal progress is ever to bemade here. the students need to organize anddemand a true voice, like we proudly see in theFanning Takeover. Like Aldous Huxley sowiselysaid, "Liberties are never given. They are taken.".

More than a loss•

I find myself wondering what it means that mydean is leaving. Receiving aletter praising Roberto] fill and his accomplishments while sending himon his way saddened me. I mel with Dean Ifillseveral times this year and greeted him informallyin the halls of Fanning throughout the year.Silting in the. bike room of JA last fall during

orientation, Ifirst put a name to a face when DeanIfill carne to facilitate the same portion of theintimate encounters workshop that I. had beenassigned as a Student Advisor. Iwas immediatelyimpressed by Ifill's ability to direct a conversationwhile allowing the new students to express whatthey wanted. The discussion we had ranged acrossthe spectrum of arguments in the media today,with many of the students expressing their sur-prise at the depth of the conversation.Later io the fall I had to meet with Dean Hill

concerning my academic future here at Conn. Ihad lots of ideas and no answers. Well, I thoughtI had all of the answers. Dean mil patientlyexplained what my best options were and how Icould accomplish my goals with the least amountof bureacracy to cut through. Itwas refreshing tobe helped in my decision making process, treatedlike the adult the College contioues to tell me I am.While my career here will go on for three more

semesters, it will be without Roberto Ifill 10 call ifI have missed three classes in a row due to sick-ness. I will not be able to count 00 a smiling facewalking out of Fanning 306 as Iwalk in to my lastclass on a hectic Thursday.The loss of such a fine member of the adminis-

tration and faculty is something that all of usshould at least ponder for a moment. I know thatI will look up from my pile of reference materialin Shain sometime next week and realize thatwhen I come back in the fall I will have a newdean. When I get my next official documenttelling me to get off my generation-whateverslack-ass and fill some sort of requirement it willnot reassure me by allowing me to melt into thecomfort of having instant faith in my advisors andmy dean.Dean Ifill, I will miss your guidance. I have

appreciated your help, your smile, and your pro-fessionalism .

Conn College writlng CenterASK MS. WRITE

End of the year. Time for a cbeap wrap-up-style editorial of good things and bad things,andsilly ideas. It's Sunday evening as Ibegin. this so let me first give some praise to EmilyLuce's "Waltz Around the Green" which wasrefreshing in its originality. I was on my wayto Blaustein when the waltz music (was it"The Blue Danube?") lured me towardsKnowlton Green. There I sat on the newbenches that form a semicircle around thenew fountain! sundial. I enjoyed the musicand the spring twilight for a few minutes, andthenAaron Guckian happened to walk by andtold me tbat the sundial had been broken off.It was not two days old when some assbole(s)decided to kick or perhaps cbew it off thefountain. Anyways, the contrast betweenMs. Luce's creativity and the vandal's sense-less act of destruction was obvious and reallydisturbing. So, to whoever broke that thing(even though itwasa bit garish) Isay SCREWYOU and I curse your family forever.Floralia didn't go very well, thanks to the

rain. However, I don't blame the freshmanclass. I am too busy blaming them for failingto raise our U.S.News & World Report rank-ing back to #25 or higher. Is it just me or wasRedman totally making fun of us? It seemslike he was having a lot of fun getting us tograb our nuts and jump up and down and yell"fuck that biotch" or whatever it was, I think

.bear M$. }Vote, I have been reading yourcolumn religiously and have learned every-thingl need to know about, well.just.abouteverything. Bud haye a couple questions Iwashoping'you could answer before-the endofthe.school year sol couldleavesaying I doknow everything' about everything, onceand for all: Wben do. I u.se "who" and"whom"? When dol use "which" and "that?"When do ruse "affect" and "effect?" Whendo I use "he/she' or JUSt "he" or "she': ormaybe "their?" Signed, Seeking Enlighten-ment

Dear Seeking, Now that you mention it,reading my columns is probably equivalentto Spending centuries in lotus position undera banyan tree. And my personal experiencebas been thatdiscussions of grammar almostinvariably induce bliss. So you're definitelyon therigbt path, as your incisive questionsimply.The answer to your first question is fairly

Simple: ."wbo" is a subject (it precedes averb) and "whom" is an object (it fol/owsprepositions and precedes verbs it is theobject of). Examples are called for:My philosophy teacher, wbo is a genius,

gave me a big compliment ('1s" is a verb,and "who"preoedes it.) My best friend, withwhom I haven't spoken in several weeks, ismoving to Michigan. ("With" is a preposi-tion, and "whom" follows it) Her room-mate, whom she accused of cheating on atest, was expelled. ("Accused" is the verb ofwhich "whom" 1S the object. That is. "she"is the person who did the accusing, bul"whom" is the placeholder for the personwho was the butt or object of the accusa-tion.) Ready to move on? ''Whicb'' and"that": Use "which" wben you're offeringinformation that could just as easily be leftout of a sentence. That" introduces informa-tion that specifies a particular noun andtherefore adds significantly to a sentence:This little encounter, which must never

I)ly>pen again, will remain secret forever.

he was either making fun of us (being apredominantly white, affluent crowd) or be isjust pretty silly. Obviously all the groupswere hetter than John Cafferty and the PooBrown Band though, so I shouldn't complaintoo much. Three cheers for Momma and theFunboys, who performed twice - and veryweU - within a l6-hour span.I'd like to ask all students to not cheat on

your exams. "All students: please don't cheaton your exams." There. I also urge all of you.to tattle on anyone you see cheating. andmore importantly, to write a letter to thecheater's mom and dad about it. Blackmail isalways a good idea while you're at it.I think that next year we should have some

more interesting weekend activities orga-nized to get us off campus. One trip could beon a deep-sea fishing boat. Anyone whowants to fish can get on the boat and then allthe people opposed to it (SAV.E., P.E.TA?) can cbarter another boat and harass thosewho want to fish, It would be nice to get somesalty air in our lungs, and a little weekendconflict would he good for the spirits. ("Alittle of the old Ultraviolence.")

Together we can work to make this a civilglobal community of globalness, diversity,community, Gaudianity, and most of all, com-.munity.Goodbye.

("Whicbmnst never happeu again" is addi-tional information that sure is interesting,but could be left out without affecting thefundamental meaning oflbe sentence.)The little encounter that took place last

night never tookplace, as far as I'm con-cerned. ("That" specifies whicb "little en-counter" the author isreferring to and there-fore constitutes an ilriportant part of thesentence.)Any time you use "which,' you should be

able to set it off with either commas or'parentheses. "That" clauses are not set offfrom the rest of the sentence in any way.Next: Both "affect" and "effect" can be

used as a noun and as a verb. Here are theirdefinitions:NOUNS affect = emotion (This "affect"

is pronounced with stress on the "a")effect = a resnlt

VERBS affect = to influence.effect = to bring about

Now for a series of examples:My negative affect had a negative effect

on my friends. Since I want to affect myfriends favorably, I will effect a change inmy personality.

One's affect can affect others in unfore-seeable.ways: I'm sorry about the negativeeffects my bad moods bave had.The key to keeping the differences among

these words straight is to come up with abelpful mnemonic. The way I remember isby starting with the noun "effect" Becauseof the prevalance of the term "cause andeffect," Iknow what the correct noun fonnis. My natural inclination, then, is toassumethat the verb form is the same: "to effect"But it's not. The verb that means "to cause(an effect)" or "to influence" is "to affect."It's counterintuitive and therefore memo-tabl$. The noun "affect" is fairly special-ized; it's used primarily in the social sci-eoces,psycbologyinparticular, wbenpeoplewant to give "attitude" or''emouon" afancyname. And the verb "to effect" is rarelyused and usually in the context of "to effect

writing, ctd.cOJllinuedfrom page 9a change." Finally, you have asked(in effect) about nonsexist use ofpronouns, something I, being a"Ms." (among other things),strongly advocate. As you prob-ably know, it is no longer accept-able to use "man" to refer to "hu-mankind" (as "man" explicitly ex-cludes "woman") or to use "he" torefer to a generic noun. Where onceyou could write, "An anxious stu-dent might lose sleep over whatgrade he got," now a deafeningalarm goes off in your head; caus-ing you to stop and contemplatesomething"you never used to worryabout: the masculine pronoun.Consider the following:I. An anxious student might lose

sleep over what grade he or she got.This is the standard approach,though many people find the "he orshe" or "she or he" constructiondistracting and awkward.2. An anxious student mightlnse

sleep over what grade she got. Thisis an approach you can take if youwant to help offset the quantity of"he"s used to refer to both malesand females throughout history.NOTE: Ifyou choose this approach,mention your decision in a footnote

•;;

at the heginningofyourpaper. Andhe forewaroed that not all readerswill he aroused.3. Anxious students might lose

sleepoverwhatgradethey got. Thisis a great way to solve the problemof sexist pronouns: make all yournouns plural, as "they" doesn'tspecify gender.4. An anxiousstudent might lose

sleep over what grade they got. Thisis an unusual approach, one thatreflects spoken language and actu-ally prescribes a non-standard useof the plural pronoun "they." Thatis, use "they" to refer to singularnouns. Again, if you choose thisapproach, explain your decision toyour reader in a footnote at the veryheginning of your paper. They (thereader) cannotobject when you haveforewarned them. That's it for yourquestions, Seeking, and that's it forthe year. May you have a summerchock full of dangling modifiers,disagreeing (and disagreeable) pro-nouns, rampant, undisciplined com-mas, and totally unattributed (spo-ken) statements.

Tim Hanson '00 votednot guilty because he felt that itwasreckless of the Campus Safety of-ficers to attempt to stop the car bystanding in the middle of a darkroad at night with slippery condi-tions, and therefore they endangeredthemselves.The Bnard found Student A not

guilty of reckless driving, due to asplit decision. Racbel Gains '97,Josh Fasano '98, Craig Dershowitz'99 felt that he was guilty becauseof Campus Safety's report. Theyfelt that the sound of a car spinningits tires would have caused Campus

Safety to focus their attention on thecar; the repon indicated surety ofthe identity of Student A's'car as theone which was revving its engineand spinning its tires; Student A'sinattention which caused him toswerve when Campus Safetystopped him; and the fact that thedistances involved would have beenenough for reckless driving.

Camels rip Colby, gain ECAC bidby Garrett ScheckSPORTS EDITOR

The men' s lacrosse team turned iton down the home stretch, winningits last four games to pull its recordto 9-4, good enough to gamer a fifthseed and a chance to repeat lastyear's title-winning effort. Notch-ing three wins in the final week, theCamels will faceoffwith rival fourthseed Amherst on the road onWednesday May7 in its eighth con-secutive ECAC tournament.Two days after ripping listless

Roger Williams 25-6, the team vis-ited then seventh-ranked Spring-field, and was able to salvage ahard-fought 9-8 win. Two dayslater, the team had to contend witha young Colby side, which ittrounced 18-4. During the homewin in the gloaming, the Camelsoutdid the White Mules in everyfacetofthe game, outs hooting them52-22, getting 20 more groundballs,beating them 19-7 on draws, andcapitalizing on both extra-man situ-ations. Chris Capone '97 had a goaland five helpers, Dylan Del'eterthrew home five goals, and ChrisAbplanalp had a hat trick and an

assist topace the Camels.With the win, the Camels were

off to a day of drunken dehaucheryand a weekend of waiting, ECACseedings being announced on Mon-day, May 5. Unexpectedly, power-house Middlebury was denied anNCAA hid, leaving them as the topseed in the ECACs. This factorpushed Conn down to fifth insteadof an expected fourth, forcing themto take the bus to Amherst for thesecond time this year. The game isa rematch of last year's ECAC fi-nal, which the Camels won 7-6 ontheir home soil. Suffering a tight 7-6 road loss to the Lord Jeffs earlierthe year, the Camels are sure to befueled by bad blood.The team has the lookofa playoff

contender, starting in thegoal, wherestingy Chris Bailey has tuned up hisgame, with a .706 save percentageand-a 5.50 GAA over his last fourgames. His bodyguards includeseniors Gerry Rinn and DaveKessler, who spearhead adefensiveunitallowingjust7 .76 goals against,per game, on the season. Rinn, whoscored two goals against Colby, isnow Conn's top scoring defensemanof all time with four goals and three

assists, had a single-season recordin takeaways with 89, and is an AlI-American candidate.A four-headed scoring monster,

led by All-American Capone, whoset a record for scoring by amidfielder this year with 24 goalsand 27 assists, makes the Camels atough team to put the reins on. Atrio of juniors, including attackmenAbplanalp (33-13-46) and DePeter(22-14-36) along with midfielderMatt McCreedy (20-20-40) givesthe team a lot of offensive venom.

As it stands, the parody in theplayoff field is impressive. If theteam does manage to beat Amherst,they'll have to contend withMiddlebury, who they lost to athome 20-12 on March 29. TheECAC semifinal is on May 9, andthe final is two days later at thehome field of'the highest remainingseed. Coach Fran Shields is opti-mistic about his team's odds. "WithMiddlebury not getting an NCAAbid, our six team tournament fea-tures five nationally-ranked teams.We lost to three of them by a com-bined eight goals. We like secondchances!

Men's track is still running strongby Katie Carpenter

THE COLLEGE YOKE

"The season is going. very well.The team's hard work is payingoff.. .." said sophomore steeplechaserunner Matt Santo of ConnecticutCollege's men's track team. Santois right, the team is doing very wellthis spring. With senior· captainTed Sveblik leading the way themen's track team has been tearingup the tracks in many invitationalsacross New England.Though the team bas no official

record because they run in allinvitationals, this has not stoppedthe runners from setting their ownperson records wbich shows thatthe team is improving with everynew race. There are three seniors,Ted Svehlik in the hammer throw,Ben Sams in the high jump event,Justin Daniel in the longjumpeventand Rick Stratton who runs the 800.There are five juniors, five sopho-

mores, and five freshmen com-pletely the lineup, who all add to thedepth and experience of the team.

1996 marks William Wuyke'sseventh season as head coach of theteam. He has coached since 1991.and the following year he coachedthe team to their best-ever showingin the New England Championships.In 1993 he took them to the NCAA'sfor the first time ever. FreshmanAaron Kleinman say that the coachis someone to look up to, "Every-one is so encouraging on the teamand Coach Wuyke is an excellentrole model for everyone," Thismay due in part to Coacb Wuyke'simpressive running career, high-lights include competing in both the1980 and 1984 Olympic Games.With the Olympics, and beingnamed Venezuelan Athlete of theYear in Track and Field in 1982,83,84, 85, and 1986, the team is in-spired by the experience of their

coach.A lot more people have qualified

for New Englands this year thanlast, and Ted Svehlik' qualified forNationals in the Hammer throwwhich adds an impressive accom-plishment for the Camels. In hisFreshman year Svehlik qualified toN.E. Division 111, and tbe All NewEngland Championships. LastSea-son he qualified for New Englands 'and almost. NCAA's. MakingNCAA's this year is a "spectacularaccomplishment" said Santo of hisCaptain.

The team may have a lot ofdepth, but they will be bringingNESCAC player of the week forlast week, Anna Stancioff, whoscored 16 goals and had one assistlast week, to Williams this week-end for a very tough ECAC match-up. They also will be bringing oneof the flashiest lacrosse players tobe seen on a college lacrosse field,Siobhan "the Charlestown rocket"Doherty, who can .find her waythrough any defensi ve match-up andcan tum any game around with herspeed and agility. Stancioff leadsthe team with 44 goals and 58 pts,Doughty is second with 41 pts, andDoherty has 32 goals and 36 pts tofinish out the top three. WithStancioff's two goals she movedinto sixth place on the all-time goalslist, and Doherty's four points makesher the 9th player to score IOOpointsat Conn. This weekend these twowill hopefully lead the way pastWilliams, who they will faceforthefirst time this year, and with a winthey will move on to the ECACchampionship game 00 Sunday atWilliams College.

P RTCamels survive the blue surge inearly ECAC tournament

by Michael MullerTHE COLLEGE VOICE

How many defenders does ittake to stop Siobhan Doherty?Wellesley tried to stick half of theirteam on Doherty '97 during theopening game of the ECAC cham-pionships, and she still was able tomuster up three goals and one assiston 10 shots. This season has turnedinto a keeper for the women's la-crosse team, as they ended the regu-lar season with a 10-4 record onSaturday, with a 12-2 blasting ofNESCAC rival Bates. The teamstarted the ECAC tournament look-ing for blood over fifth seededWellesley, wbom the Camels haddefeated 17-6 only one week ago.

The Wellesley team came downwearing war paint and all, ready forbattle, Coach Sue Landau had pre-pared her troops well for what wouldbea very good rematch of these twotough teams. In a defensive stylethat resembled that of the New Jer-sey Devils Stanley Cup playoff runof 1995, the Wellesley defense al-lowed an early goal by MegbanWelcb '00, and then put up a brick .wall around midfield for the major-ity of the rest of the first half.Wellesley grabbed aquick two goalsaround the midpoint of the first halfto take a surprising 2-1 lead. A tinylapse in Wellesley's defense wastaken advantage of again by Welchshortly after the second goal byWellesley to ntake it 2-2. Bothteams led what appeared to be a

standoff for the next ten minutesuntil Wellesley stole back the lead,beating Kristen Brooks '99 for thethird gnal and the lead. With justover three minutes left, junior ar-tacker AnnaStancioffput one hometo tie the score at 3-3, which wouldhold until halftime. At the halfConn was tied with a team that theyhad slaughtered only one week be-fore, and in overall gameplay theblueshirts from Wellesley appearedto be everywhere and in completecontrol. Backup goaltender/super-star scorer Welch, who was the mainoffensive power keeping Conn inthe game in the first half, said thatthe team was a little caught offguard at the beginning of the gamebut knew that Wellesley would bethere to play a real game. "Weknew that they would be hungryand knew that it would be a highpressure game. We knew that ourgame had to be on," Welch said."We got a bit of a shocker but weresponded well."

The second half would be muchof the same until the 10 minutemark, when the score was tied 4-4with an early goal by SiobhanDoherty, which was answerednearly 10 minutes later at the 19:51mark by Wellesley. With 10 min-utes left someone in the crowdshouted, "Will the real ConnecticutCamels please stand?" and theystood- boy did they stand. In amatter of seven minutes Conn hadcompletely washed away any fearsofaclose finish by taking a 9-4 lead.

lfIast Saturday's Floralia wasn'tenough celebration of Spring, men'sand women's rowing have a chanceto celebrate the season in sunnyGeorgia. This weekend, the varsityand IV members of Conn's crewteam will complete their season atthe Olympic Course in Gainesville,Genrgia. Their trip South will notbe a vacation but a championshipboth teams deserve after their per-formance at New Englands on May3. Last Saturday's championshipsincluded competition against toprowing teams like Boston Collegeand the University of New Hamp-shire.The women's boats each finished

with personal bests, results whichcaptain Doreen Cutonilli '97 classi-fies as a "successful day." Theywere disappointed that they didn'tcome away with more medals, butthe IV bronze was a pleasant re-ward to bring back to New London.The varsity eight boat finished oneplaceshortofa medal withatimeof7:27.53, 0.6 seconds behindWesleyan. The team overall hadtheir best races of the season; theywere focused and ready.The male Camels were not as

pleased with the results from theNew England Rowing Champion-ships. Coach Rick Ricci explained,"I think they rowed very well in themorning and later clutched ... wecould have been second or third."The all-day event yielded pressures

that may have hindered the youngerboat. "Overall, I felt that wecould've done a lot better in the'final race. We have an inexperi-enced boat, lots of tension and ner-vousness," captain Scott Williams'97 replies. Their varsity four andeight each finished sixth, behindlarger teams. Men's rowing at Connis comprised of 12 dedicated team-mates. Williams feels thati!' S harderto win with a smaller team, evenwith their great program. Their lossmay reflect a lack of depth, notdiscipline.Conn's thirty-two women row-

ers fulfill more than the mens' twoboats. Additionally they have awomen's IV eight and a noviceeight boat and four boat.However, both teams are eager to

race in Georgia. Williams believesthat they can redeem themsel ves."We have nothing to lose," he added."Hopefully we can show peoplehow good we are!" Coach Ricciacknowledges a need to race morelike they practice, Their overallprogress is apparent. The womenanticipate rowing well in Georgia;Cutonilf desires "having a greatend to a good season ... I've been-really pleased!" She believes thatsuch a team of wonderful womendeserves a great championship.Four women and four men will

graduate from their boats after Gear -gia. Coaches andplayers alike haveadmired the leadership and talent ofthese seniors and captains. Riccidescribed their caplrtin and strokeof the varsityeightasaleader, "keep-
