Colby students may have less toworryabou tatexams this week thanColby students did 20 years ago."Grade inflation," a phenomenonin which student gra des move upover time, has taken root at Colby.

Health Foru m turnout poorMembers of the panel at the Health Center Forum on Monday

outnumbered the attendees by 14 after only four students came to thediscussion to voice their concerns about health care on campus.

Paul Matthews '94, co-chair of the Health Care Advisory Committee,helped organize the event. He said students had approached him withindividual concerns about the Health Center, and Matthews said he feltthe Forum would be a good way to improve communication betweenstudents and personnel in the Health Center.

"Students have a lot of concerns," said Matthews. "The people in theHealth Center genuinely want to hear input, but the don't get it becausethe only time they see students is when [students] are sick, and then [thestudents] aren't in the mood to talk."

Matthews said he was disappointed with the student turnout. "I atleast expected double digits," he said.

The students who attended the Forurn asked questions about stu-dent insurance coverage and women's health issues, according toMatthews.

The Health Care Advisory Committee is currently drafting a ques-tionnaire to distribute to students next semester as a means to improvecommunication, according to Matthews. (L.P.)

Rick the chef retiresBY JONATHAN CANNON

Staff Writer

Colby will lose over 30 years ofcooking experience next week whenKwai "Rick" Lam, food productionmanager in Foss Dining Hall, re-tires.

"I'm going to miss cooking andthe people in Colby," Lam said."They're all nice."

"I like to work, I like the chal-lenge and the people. [But still], it'snice to retire young," he said.

Lam came to Colby a little overtwo years ago. Until November, hewas the head chef in Dana. He thenmoved to Foss, where he has beenoverseeing the food production.

Lam's extensive experience andexpertise will be sorely missed bymany in the Colby community.

In the two months he s beenhere at Foss, he's been teaching thecooks a lot," said Joey McClain, thedining hall's manager. "He's alsotrained the new chef we have. Itwas good timing having Rick comeover here."

"Dining Services will never bethe same without Rick," said JohnCoombs '97. "It'll feel weird not tosee him."

Students seem to recognize the

quality of Lam s cooking. As MattRuss '96 said, "When Rick gets be-hind that grill, it's magic."

"People follow me," said Lam.'That's why attendance goes up."He said there has been a 36 percentincrease in turnout this fall for din-ner at Foss. "I get very satisfactoryquality in my cooking, because Iliave cooked for over thirty years,in all different styles," he said.

JLam was born in 1939 in HongKong, but he attended school incommunist China. From 1960 until1968, he worked in that country'sMerchant Marines, cooking aboard

ships at sea. While traveling theglobe, Lam was exposed to manyinternational styles of cuisine.

He tries to incorporate these dif-ferent styles, as much as possible,into his cooking at Foss, he said.

In 1968 he moved from China toWaterville. "I came here becausemy father was working in theJefferson Hotel," he said. WhenLam arrived, "There were only twoChinesepeoplein Waterville. Now,there are over one hundred, andthere are eight Chinese restaurantssee RICK on page 6

INFLATIONcontinued from page 1"Over one third of our permanentfaculty was new within the last fiveyears," said Dean of Faculty RobertMcArthur.

McArthur has another explana-tion for the rise in grades.

The phenomenon is not gradeinflation, but "GPA inflation," ac-cording to McArthur. GPA andgrade inflation look similar on pa-per, but GPA inflation results whenstudents can easily drop classes, hesaid. Colby relaxed its add/dropand satisfactory/unsatisfactory re-quirements considerably in 1986,so many students now do not finishcourses in which they are gettingF's, D's, or sometimes even C's, ac-cording to McArthur.

Since undergraduate gradeshave been compressed into the A-Brange, graduate schools are forcedto weigh criteria like standardizedtests more heavily in their admis-sion processes, according to Bever-age. "No college wants to take[grade inflation] on individual!/'when other colleges still inflate theirgrades, Beverage said.

Rohrman said, however, thatgrade deflation would not neces-sarily hurt students applying tograduate schools if Colby made theschools aware of a "no grade infla-tion" policy.

McArthur said that individualfaculty should continue to maketheir own grading decisions. "Thestandards the professionals use aretheir own personal decision," hesaid.

Grade inflation is a nationaltrend, according to Rohrman."We're not the worst in the nationby any means,"

At Harvard 83.6 percent of se-niors graduated with honors in1993, according to an article in U.S.News and World Report. The ar-ticle reported a top six law schooladmissions officer saying his schoolignores magna cum laudeand cumlaude honors from Harvard becausethey have become meaninglesssince Harvard gives out so manyA's.Q

GRADE DISTRIBUTION BY DEPARTMENT OR PROGRAMSPRING 1993

Congratulation s, Class of *94JCongratulations are in order for members of the Colby Class of

1994J, who will officially graduate from the College at the end of thissemester.

Parents, administrators and faculty gathered in Millet Alumni Houseon Sunday to honor the graduates. Approximately 60 attended thedinner.Director of Alumni Relations Sue Cook organized the event.

Class President T.J. Winick kicked off the dinner with a poem,according io graduate Dawn Devine. Devine read an essay about herexperiences in Paris. President William Cotter also addressed the group.

Associate Professor of American Studies David Lubin also spoke tothe graduates. Lubin spoke of the uniqueness of the group, and theirexperiences which brought them to graduate in January. Lubin himselfhad an unorthodox college experience, transferring twice during hisstudies, according to Winick.

In previous years, the graduation dinner was limited to students andfaculty. Graduate Tripp Holton and Winick decide^ that the eventshould be more special as it was the only graduation ceremony for manyof the students, according to Winick.

"Hopefully this a trend that will continue," said Winick. "Everyonehad a great time, and every student deserves to be recognized eventhough some are leaving mid-year."

Many of the graduates intend to return in May to march with the restof the Class of 1994, said Devine. The traditional champagne toast on thesteps of Miller Library will take place this Friday.

The members of the Class of 1994J are as follows: Richard Avila,Matthew Belson, Timothy Brooks, Mark Burns, Catherine Coyne, DawnDevine, George Eckel, Anne Griffi n, Tripp Holton, Cameron Richardson,Glendon Roy, Sarri Salman, Christofer Sharpe, Thomas Shields, JohnSmith, Simon Walter and T.J.

Debt isn't cram pingStu-A*3 style

BY GWYNNE ROGERSStaffWriter

The Student Association (Stu-A),which is responsible for program-ming events and funding clubs, isrecovering from the debt it incurredduringthe 1992-93 school year with-out affecting events for this year.

AccordingtoElliot Barry '94,Stu-A treasurer, the debt occurred inpart because of the publication ofthe Oracle, which had no up frontcost to students. Many students or-dered yearbooks then either forgotabout paying or couldn't pay for itlater. Other clubs simply did notmanage their money well. Also,there are leftover debts from theearly '80s. Barry says that the totalamount lost was not kept in dollaramounts, but it is fairly sizeable.

Some feared that the debt wouldplace constrictions on how manyactivities Stu-A could sponsor thisyear. However, Barry said that noprograms were cut.

Mike Miller '95, the Stu-A socialchair, said that anything can be doneas long as the money is managedwell. For the Last Day of Loudness,Stu-A plans to have a club-like set-up in the Student Center with a DJand possibly a band, according toMiller.

Each year $10,000 of Stu-A's an-nual budget of approximately$200,000 goes into a fund to make upfor whatever loss occurred the pre-vious year. This system was devel-opedby Benjorgenson'92 (formerlyDave Jorgensen) who was Stu-Atreasurerinl992. Considerable pres-sure is also being put on clubs thisyear to manage their money welland keep good records of expendi-tures.

Stu-A has lost a lot of money thisyear on big-name events like SpikeLee and De La Soul. Mike Millersaid that Stu-A does not regret thoseevents even though they lostjmoney.Stu-A plans to bring more bandsand speakers to campus in thefuture.Q

China disappearsfrom dinin g halls

BY C. SWANContributing Writer

Every year Colby's dining hallsspend hundreds, sometimes thou-sands of dollars, to replace stolenchina. This year Dining Services iscracking down on flatware theft.

In the past year, Dana dininghall spent $800 for replacementchina, said Joel LaVine, Dana man-ager. He has noticed a loss of dinnerplates this year, and based on arecent count, 375 plates have beenlost this semester.

For this reason, Dana invested$800 on a cheaper brand of china toreplace the lost plates. While thenew china is not as durable as thechina in Roberts or Foss DiningHalls, it is about half the price of thestronger plates used in the otherdining halls.

Hill , Colby visionar y, dies at 98BY LINCOLN FARR

Staff Writer

On Monday afternoon a memo-rial service was held for HowardFoster Hill in the Lorimer Chapel.Hill, who co-founded Waterville'sThayer Hospital, which later be-came the Mid-Maine Medical Cen-ter, died on Nov. 16. He was 98.

Hill was well known for his con-tributions to the Watervilleareaandfor his internationally recognizedskills as an ophthalmologist. He alsowas an integral member of Colby'sfamily.

"We would like to think thatboth his pioneering spirit in medi-cine and his concern for the worldaround him were fostered here at

this college," said President Will-iam Cotter at the memorial service.

Hill left Colby during his thirdyear to serve on the front lines ofWorld War I. He then returned toColby and graduated. He went onto earn his M.D. from Harvard Uni-versity.

Hill became Governor of theAmerican College of Surgeons anda member of the American, French,Pan-Patific, Spanish and Pan-American Ophthalmological Soci-eties.

His innovative eye care broughtinternational attention totheThayerHospital.

"As with all men and women ofgreat vision and drive, Howard'sinterests were eclectic and he cared

passionately about ideas and insti-tutions that transcended the worldof science and medicine," said Cot-ter.

Hill demonstrated this carethrough his generosity to his almamater. He and his family donatedthe money for Colby's Hill House, aguest house on campus behind thetennis courts. Hill also establishedscholarship funds that benefitMaine students.

• Rev. David Suetterlein, whogave the Invocation at the service,described Mr. Hill as having "liveda useful, devoted, unselfish life."

Hill was given an honorary doc-torate degree from the College in

Using genes to nab killersBY DAVID HOLTZMAN

Features Editor

Criminals don't stand a chanceagainst science.

Law enforcement and scienceoften team up these days to catchmurderers and rapists, accordingto Julie Millard, Claire Boothe Luceassistant professor of biochemistry.Guilt or innocence is increasinglybeing found in the criminal's genes,she said.

Millard spoke Thursday on"Murder and Mayhem: DNA onTrial," the final lecture in this fall'sWomen's Studies Colloquium se-ries. She said it is now possible toisolate the DNA, or genetic mate-rial, of anybody fluid left behind bythe guilty party. If that fluid can bematched with a suspect's DNA, itcanbeusedincourt to convict him/her.

"One scientist has said that it'slike leavingyour name, pho'nenum-ber and social security number atthe scene of the crime," said Millard."It's that precise."

Most of the DNA for humans isthe same for everyone, she said, but"hypervariable" DNA vary dra-matically. She said the odds of twopeople sharing the samehypervariable profile are veryslight.

In the past few years, new tech-nology has enabled DNAtobe usedin solving a number of seeminglyunsolvable cases.

Millard cited a case in the UnitedKingdom in 1983 in which a girlwas raped and murdered. A man-hunt came up empty, but a semensample was recovered from thegirl's body.

Another girl was killed fouryears later, and again a sample wastsaken. By then the technology ex-isted to isolate DNA.

Blood samples were volun-teered by every male between 13and 30 in the vicinity, and 60 per-cent were eliminated by determin-ing their blood type. The DNA ofone of the first samples examinedwas a perfect match for that foundon the victim. The suspect then con-fessed to both murders.

In another case, they were ableto convict a man by isolating thenasal mucus from his dirty hand-kerchief," said Millard. In time, shesaid, the technology will even beable to determine if the perpetratorwas blond and blue-eyed.

Because this is still a new formof evidence, it has met some oppo-sition in the courts, Millard said.

"In the past you had to have apre-trial hearing to decide if it wasgenerally accepted in the court,"

Echo photo by Lauren VitranoJulie Millard, professo r ofbiochemistry.

she said. "Now the Supreme Courthas said it's up to the judge, so it'sbeen taken out of the experts'hands." Many are wary of DNAevidence, calling it "junk science."

At the moment there are fewDNA data banks in the UnitedStates, said Millard.

"DNA carries much more infor-mation than fingerprints," she said,"but unless you have a suspect tomatch it up to, it's not going to doyou a lot of good."Q

Almost asgood asJames: it'sLivingston

BY KIM MARSHALLContributing Writer

In an effort to provid e somequalityprogramming over Jan Plan,Johnson and Lovejoy Commonshave joined together to bringLivingston Taylor to Colby on Jan.14 in the Page Commons Room.

Taylor is the brother of well-known singer and songwriter JamesTaylor. Livingston first appea red atColby two years ago. Coinciden-tally,Jameswasscheduledthesameyear but cancelled his appearance.

"[Livin gston isl very similar tohis brother , but not exactly thesame/' said Bryan Raff etto '95, vicepresident of Johnson Commons.Raffetto had a front row seat atTaylor's lastColby showand is look-ing forward to seeing him again.

'Tie really likes Colby a lot andlikes playing here, I know," saidRaffetto.

Tickets for the event will be $5for students and $7 for others.Raffetto feels this price is reason-able. He notes that the two com-mons will not make a profit fromthe show. Raffetto expects a bigcrowd.

"I know for a fact that gettingthere early will be key," he said .

To add to the night's appeal ,Tullio Nieman, director of StudentActivities, has arranged forWaterville 's Jorgensen 's GourmetGoods to handle refreshments , saidRaffetto. ?

Heal th plan will not chang emuch for Colby - stud ents

BY EMILY CHAPMANContributin g Writer

Although health care reform isa major issue in the national head-lines right now, Colby studen ts willsee little change in how their cover-age works while still at Colby if thereform package passes as is.

Right now, according to Deanof the College Earl Smith, most stu-dents are covered under their par-ents' insurance policies, and thebiggest changes students see willbe throu gh their parents ' plan.

Now, students can buy addi-tional insurance from the College ifdesired, and a policy can be pro-vided if a student is not covered,but the basic cost of student healthcare services is covered by tuition.

It is still unknown what stu-

dents will face under PresidentClinton 's new health care system.The basic premise of the plan is toprovide insurance covera ge to allAmericans.

"I don't think it's going to im-pact the student coverage muchbecause we have an open, comeone, come all policy now," saidSmith/'One of the biggest effectsit's going to have will be on Colbystudents who want to go to medicalschool," said Assistant Professor ofEconomics Debra Barbezat.

She said there will be limitsplaced on the number of medicalspecialists. , as America tries to re-turn to the idea of a family doctor.Medical students will also be di-rected to specific geographic areaswhen they graduate.

Maine, for instance , will not ben-

efit greatly from increased compe-tition because not manyHhealth careproviders wiU be assigned to thestate due to its low population.

"The one most important thin gabout the Clinton health plan isuniversal covera ge," said Barbezat."We have very good and compre-hensive covera ge alread y."

Colby employees will also feelthe affects of the reforms , accord-ing to Administr ative Vice Presi-dent Arnold Yasinski.

Colby'sinsurance expenses willprobably increase several hundredthousand dollars , said Yasinski.Colby currentl y pays 100 percentof all its' employees premiums , butemployees must pay the full cost ofeach additional family member onthe plan.

Under Clinton 's proposal , the

fees will be split 80%/20% for ev-eryonecovered under theCollege'spolicies, the College will have topay 80 percent of an employee'sfamily's coverage, as well as 80 per-cent of the the employee's healthinsurance costs. The employee willpay the remainin g 20 percent, thusincreasing what the employee paysfor his/her own coverage but de-creasing the overall cost to employ-

"It 's not clear what the differentexpense would be in terms of dif-ferent features ," said Yasinski, re-ferrin g to dental plans and mentalillness covera ge."We'll refine whatweknowabout [theplan] as it...goesthr ough Congress ," Yasinski said."The chance of Congress passingexactly what Clinton proposed isnegligible/^

eventually pushes tuition up. "Thisresultsinthe deprivation of the use of amenities towhich students should have a right," saidMcClain. For example, Foss previously usedlarge salad bowls, but because of the highcost of replacement the dining hall now usessmall bowls.

Both McClain and LaVine cite the prox-imity to student rooms as a main reason formissing dinnerware.. "Many people will go sit in the [Dana]

lobby," said LaVine, "but some go right totheir rooms."

Roberts does not havea big problem withmissing china "because there isn't a resi-dence hall right above the dining hall," saidMary Attenweiler, director of Roberts dininghall.

Dana's individual pizzas also contributeto lost plates. "They're a good thing to dragup to your room to save for later," LaVinesaid. The pizzas used to be served on paper

plates, which added a different cost. Danaonce used a case of paper plates a night toprevent loss of china, he said.

Neither Dana nor Foss makes studentseat within the dining halls, and for this rea-son, the dishes cannot be tracked. McClainattributes much of Foss' disappearing chinato students' laziness.

The most distressing part of the disap-pearance is finding the dishes in the trash,said both LaVine and McCain. At the end ofthe 1992-1993 school year, Dana recovered$200 worth of china from trash bags.

Collection boxes have been placed in thehallways of Dana, the Heights, and Foss-Woodman. LaVine has also begun to send adishwasher to look for dishes in the halls ofeach of the three buildings once a day.

"We want to get it while it's still fresh;before people get sick of seeing it and throwit into the trash can," he said .?

Dean of Faculty beginning in the Fall of1994/' according to the memo.

In a conciliatory letter he delivered tofaculty on Wednesday night Cotter said thatthe College needed to geta strong consensusto pick the next dean of faculty, but that "wewere simply not able to do so this fall."

Maisel's reaction to a poem published inNew Moon Rising last year "played a majorrole in creating doubts in the minds of somany faculty members that it hindered thedevelopment, in Sandy's case, of the neces-sary level of faculty support to be the Dean/'said Cotter.

Cotter said that this fall rumors "fed anunseemly and unfair attack on Sandy's char-acter."

"Ibelieve that theFaculty Advisory Com-mittee would join me in confirming thatthose rumors played no role in theCommittee's decision," said Cotter.

Russel Cole, Oak Professor of biologicalsciences, investigate and concluded that therumors had no basis, said Cotter.

"There has never been any complaintfrom any student to anyone in the AthleticDepartment, the Dean's Office, the Harass-ment Advisory Board, or anyone else in au-thority on campus," according to Cotter.

Cotter said that the editorial in the Fall1933 issue of New Moon Rising referring tothe candidate with the "Bob Packwood Syn-drome" was a reference to Sandy Maisel.Cotter went on to call the editorial "totallyunfounded, enormously hurtful, and com-pletely unfair."

The College must now work to heal a riftbetween senior and jun ior faculty members."We must have processes where praise aswell as concerns can be registered," saidCotterO

Want ed: one Colby pubBYJON BLAU

Business Manager

Who in their right mind wouldhost a par ty at Colby these days?Find me a 21 year old willing to signa par ty form and I'll show you astudent on housin g probation. Ithas become too much of a risk toaccept the liability for other stu-dents and the party forms makeyouresponsiblefbreverythingshortof your guests' GPAs.

So what can we do with the hun-dreds of mature, responsible stu-dents at Colby looking for a safe,convenient night out? Simple, thetime Has come f o r a Colby Pub.

We live in a fores t in the middleof nowhere. You have heard it mil-lions of times, but you don't realizeit as much until you turn 21. Returnto campus from a weekend in NewYork or Boston (god forbidMontre al) and you feel as thoughyou're back in high school.

This isn't to say that there aren'tmany enjoyable , exciting and edu-cational activities other than drink-ing on campus. But we're talkingabou t night life, and for the Colby21 year old on a search for adven-ture, the results are often discour-aging.

Althou gh the Spa offers beers,the ambiance is poor. You can hopdowntown to one of the few localhot spots, (and even with an on-campuspub it will still be nice to getaway oncein a while) but the attrac-tions get old and you need to drive.Champ ions is a blast, but just toomuch hair. Saferides has limitedcapacity, and itbecomesdangerousto drive around. We need a Colby-only shindig that successfully at-tracts a crowd. So what can we do?

Open a pub. Give 21 year olds agathering spot of our own wherewe can meet with our peers andactually feel like we belong. Thereis little upperclass unity at Colbybut Senior Night is always a suc-cess, so why not all the time? Withthe apparen t demise of the StudentCenter; disappearance of events inthe Heights Communi ty Room, andgener al lacking social life on cam-pus, the legal drink ing constituents,along with those choosing not topar take in alcohol consumption,deserve a retre at.

Give us a bar with dar t boardsand peanuts. Give us a bartenderand a neon sign. Give us somethin gso we can cure the cabin fever with-out leaving home.

There aro going to be thosepeople who read this article and

scoff. Bratty students asking formore conveniences and ooooh, al-cohol, too. But it boils down to asafe, confined environment that iscontrollable and monitorable. Nocars would be necessary, and noone needs to rely upon a designa teddriver.

Every year we are reminded byadministrators as to how respon-sible we must be. Sign this contract ,live up to this standard , sign thispar ty form. Yet every weekend weare forced to open our own pubs insome lounge or dorm room if wedecide not to leave campus. We areforced to congre gate in our dorms,which also happen to be the homesof many who do not want our com-pany.

There was talk last year abou tbuilding a pub in Roberts and relo-cating the Outin g Club to a newcabin. It was a great idea, but theconwrsa tiondied. Social Chair ScottParker gra duated and nobodypicked up the slack. Well, the timehas come, Colby, and the studentsneed to speak out.

Where did our voice go? Whereis our clout? Where is our Pub?

A coffee house with a twist, aSpa with an atmosphere, a StudentCenter with an attendance—Colbyneedsa?ub. Q

Echo sportssection misseda beat

We would like to pointout someomissions in the Sports Section ofthe Echo. The first Colby team tocompete in an NCAA champion-ship received no covera ge after thefact. The Women's Cross-CountryTeam placed 12th in the nation andMichelle Severance was AU-Ameri-can for the fourth time. BrianCarlson was the first male runner tocompete at Nationals in ten years.This alone is worth coverage.

Another point of content ipncon-cerns the coverage (or lack thereof )of the Men's and Women's IndoorTrack and Field Teams. These werethe only teams not featured in theWinter Sports Preview. The follow-ing week, a spring sport was pre-viewed whilethe wintertrackteamswere still omitted. While it is im-portant to keep the Colby commu-nity informed of the progress sportsteams are makings inseason sportsshould take precedence. We appre-ciate that the Sports Editors havechosen to pr eview winter teams.However, it is then their job to rec-ognize every team.

Hopefully, the Echo will be will-ingtomaketheap propriate changesnext semester.

Jitney driversharassed,want respect

We are writin g this letter to ad-dress the issues of safety and re-spect for J itney drivers. While wewere on duty last Thursd ay nightwe were put into an uncomfort ablesituation due to our passengers'behavior. In short , we were ha-rassed.

We were called by Security atapproximatel y 1:45 Friday morn-ing to pick up 25 people at an off-campus party that had been brokenup by the Waterville Police Depart-ment.

Upon our initial arrival , morepeople than were safe attempted toget into the J itney. After severalattempts of asking people to get outof the car, to be heard our toneescalated into a yell and finally aWaterville policeofBcer encour ageda few of the passengers to leave.

As we drove off, we were re-peatedly insulted by those in theJ itney based on our genders , in-ferred political views, and our ap-pearances. Insults such as "bitch ,""butch ," and "fucking hippies"were repeatedly hurled at us.

The situationbecameso uncom-fortable that K.C. felt it was safer towalk home than stay in the Jitney.She left the Jitney within one hun-dred yards of the pick-up. AfterK.C. left , one comment Nate heardwas "don't worry about her, she's'got enough hair on her . to keepwarm."

;Nate continued drivin g andwithout saying a word, droppedhis passengers off on campus.

The passen gers involved allseemed to be intoxicated. Alcoholis no excuse for any form of harass-ment yet we feel it escalated theevents and added anunpredictability that we foundfrightening.

Although in this situation wefelt more threatened than we haveever felt as drivers, it was by nomeans the only instance of ill treat-ment that we have had in our threeyears of driving the J itney. We arenot the only drivers who have beentreated poorly by passengers.

Our intention in writin g this let-ter is not to brin g punishment onany individualbut to make thecom-munity aware of the harassment ofJ itney drivers by their fellow stu-dents.

The J itney is a valuable servicetothe Colby community. Safe Rides(10 p.m. -2 a.m.) is designed specifi-cally to prevent incidents of drunkdriving and provides safe trans-portation by bringing people home.

The J itney, specifically SafeRides, is a student-run service thatwe believe plays an important partin the safety of not only Colby stu-dents but also the Waterville com-munity.

All drivers of the J itney are duethe sa*me amount of respect as afriend who is a designated driver.This respect should extend to otherpassengers in the J itney as well.

Driving the J itney is our cam-pus job. Performing our campusjob should not have as many inher-ent risks as picking up hitch-hikers.

Fr om A to Z: Colby in reviewLIFE'S A BEECHBy Hannah Beech

Airwavesamplify '/bimbo" comment. Toobad Coyne couldn't take the heat. Next timeremember the old adage — children shouldbe seen and not heard.

Bad Beer Festcreates abeer pond inPiper.The student slipping not only broughtWaterville Police, but might promote newalcohol restrictions. Next time, use a mop.

Chapel cross might be joined by otherreligious buddies. We might need to buildanother chapel to accommodate more sym-bols.

Dean of faculty duel results in snub toboth Maisel and Longstaff. Why decide nowto open the search? Are both so unqualifiedto merit this step?

Faculty p rof i le: Jonathan Halls tromBY DAWN DEVINE

Staff Writer

Q: Describe your educationalbackground.

A: I attended public high schoolin Redmond, Oregon, where mymost notable accomplishmentswere playing euphonium (baritonehorn) in the band and first base onthe softball team. My academicperformance in high school wassomewhat less than distinguished.

When I decided to go to collegeas a music major, my stepfather,who only made it to the eighthgrade, said that he couldn't for hislife figure out what I'd be able to dowith a music degree, but that aslong as I was going to do it, Ishouldn't do it halfway. That com-ment has been my guiding princi-pal ever since.

I did my und ergraduate work atOregon State University, where Iwas finally able to focus on doingwhat I really wanted to do, whichwas to make music. I also discov-ered more general wonders like thefact that learning for its own sake(as opposed to doing it solely to geta grade and/or a job) can be reallyfun.

I did my graduate work at theUniversity of Iowa, first as a Mas-ters degree student in composition,and then as a double degree candi-date (MFA/PhD) in compositionand orchestral conducting. At IowaI met an amazing composer namedMartin Jenni, who taughtmeto read

Gregorian Chant and made me lis-ten to andanalyze so much music Ithought I would die, but I havenever stopped thanking him for it.

I also worked as assistant con-ductor of the University's Centerf or New Music, where I was giventhe dubious honor of conductingall the 1960s-'70s "squeak-fart"music that the principal conductordidn't want to do. I think I dealt atone time or another with every per-verse rhythm and pitch pattern everwritten.

Q: What music do you prefer tolisten to at home?

A: Everything! I have a veryeclectic collection which includeseverything from Michelle Shockedto Stan Getz to Gustav Mahler toPierre Boulez to shakuhachi (Japa-nese flute). All musics have some-thing wonderful to offer. I think it'ssilly to limit oneself to a single styleor genre. (I offer this last observa-tion especially to those studentswho've never attended a ColbyOrchestra concert—I do Bela Fleck;how l>out you try Prokofiev?)

Q: You own a unique viola.What's the story behind it?

A: I own a Zeta MIDI viola,which I had built for me by a com-pany out in Oakland, Calif. Whenitwas built, it was one of two in exist-ence (I think there are a few moreout there now). It's fairly "un-viola-like" in appearance — gloss black,sort of arrow shaped.

• Echo photo by J ennifer AtwooaJonath an Ha llstrom, associate professor ofmusic and chair of the department.

It doesn't make much of a soundof its own, but rather serves to con-trol synthesizers and/or comput-ers. You play it just like an acousticviola but because it can be hookedto a synthesizer it can sound likeliterally anything (an oboe, a hu-man voice . . .steel drums). I'vewritten a couple of pieces for it andthey've been quite well received, iwish I had mote time to practice it.

Q: What are you reading rightnow?

A: Actually,I'm reading twobooks. One iscalled "GrandOpening" byJohnHasslerandwas loaned to meby BarbaraRusso, who is averitable font ofk n owl ed geabout good nov-els.

I'm alsoslowly workingmy way through'T4usic and theMind" by An-thony Storr, averyprovocativetext which notonly talks abouthow we perceivemusic on an in-tellectual level,but also postu-lates that ourminds need the

nourisnment .of music (and and other fine arts) inthe same way tha.t our bodies needfood. Without the fine arts as a com-ponent of our intellectual and spiri-tual diet, we run -the risk of havingmalnourished souls.

Q: What do you enjoy mostabout the Colby Music Dept?

A: I enjoy the incredible sense ofdelight (and relief) I feel when oneof my students finally realizes that

knowing all 30 major and minorkeys cold and being able to "sightsing" melodies really can make onea better cellist (yes Wes, it really istrue!).

I enjoy working with a group ofcolleagues who I feel are the bestone is likely to find at any collegeColby's size (and some a good deallarger and more musically presti-gious).

I also wouldn't trade the Colbyorchestra, particularly its studentmembers, who are a truly amazingbunch, for anything... well, maybefor the Chicago Symphony.

Finally, I enjoy the daily lessonsin tact and diplomacy I get fromBarb Russo, who is without doubtone of the most amazing secretariesin the world.

Q: Any words of wisdom forthe music majors?

A: Yes, to quote an overusedadvertising slogan: just do it!

The most exciting and powerfuldiscoveries in music aren't going towalk up and kiss you on the cheek.Sometimes you're going to have tochasethemdown. This means prac-ticing that hard passage in the IvesConcord Sonata until the music canshine through the technique, or notgiving up on your composition as-signment until you really have fig-ured out how to make that transi-tion workright. The combined senseof artistic and intellectual satisfac-tion you can get on these occasiqnsis what makes music worthdoingO

Music review: Frank Sinatra DuetsBY AMY KEIMA & E Co-Editor

Back in the early 1940s, whenmy grandmother was a teenager,she sometimes skipped school tosee teen sensationFrankSinatrasingat the Paramount Theater in NewYork City. He was called the"Crooner," and his following wasnot unlike that of the later Elvis.Young women drooled andscreamed when he hit the stage inoversized suits, singing romanticsongs in a sexy voice. While HarryConnick Jr. has attempted to emu-late the Sinatra sound and style,and has done a pretty good job of it,no one can replace Sinatra. Interest-ingly, Connick is not among thevocalists on the recent CapitolRecords release, Frank Sinatra Du-ets.

The album offers a welcome re-turn of Ol' Blue Eyes singing jazzy ,fresh renditions of old favorites like"Witchcraft," "All The Way," and"New York, New York." Coupledwith Luther Vandross, ArethaFranklin, Barbra Streisand, JulioIglesias, Gloria Estefan, TonyBennett, Natalie Cole, CharlesAznavour, Carly Simon, LizaMinnelli, Anita Baker, Bono andKenny G., Sinatra proves that hecan still carry a tune and captureour attention.

Due to showbiz logistics, theperformers were unable to recordthe songs in a studio with Sinatra.So, with the help of modern tech-nology and a slew of sound engi-neers, .vocalists were recorded in

studios in Boston, Dublin, Holly-wood, London, New York, andMiami, and the music was latermixed. It is disappointing that thesingers were not actually perform-ing the duets together, but the endresult of thecomputerized manipu-lation that unites the two voices ineach song is remarkably convinc-ing.

The album's highlights include"The Lady is a Tramp," with LutherVandross, whose powerful, caress-ing voice tempers the slightly coars-ened voice of Sinatra.

Barbara Streisand's voicein "I'veGot a Crush on You" is like butter.Sinatra sings playfully, "I have gota crush, My Barbra, on you," andshe returns, 'You make me blush,Francis," adding warmth to thesong.

With Liza Minnelli in "I've Gotthe WorldonaStiing," Sinatra holdshis own beside thewoman who inherited aset of golden lungs fromher mother, Judy Gar-land .

Similarly, echoes ofNat King Cole's beauti-fu l voice can be heard inNatalie Cole's, in 'TheyCan't Take That AwayFrom Me."

'TveGotACxushOnYou," with U2's Bono isthe album's only weakspot. Bono tries too hardto reach high octavesand has limited successinaddingcharm. and hu-mor to Cole Porter's

haunting classic.Fortunately, some of the other

unlikely parings aresuccessful. Forexample, Sinatra's duet with CarlySimon is a marriage of oppositesthat works. Those of you who ownthe Sleepless In Seattle soundtrackknow how well Simon sings thelove song "In the Wee Small Hoursof the Morning." With Sinatra, thesong becomes a dialogue betweentwo lovers.

Frank Sinatra Duets would makea great holiday gift forolder friendsand relatives who probably stillcling to their old worn-out Sinatrarecords and remember the dayswhen he was The Voice. But thealbum is not just for old-timers.Duets is for anyone who enjoys lis-tening to romantic classics in anunromantic era.

Frank Sinatra Duets retails for$18.99 onCDand$lO,99oncassette. Q

Andre w Kulmatisk iis at tlie wheel

Echo photo by Lauren Vitra.noAndrew Kulmatiaki '94 at work onone of his creations in Colby'spottery studio.

BY ERIK JOHNSONContributing Writer

AndrewKulmatiski '94grewup with pot-tery. In fact, he communicated only throughshape and form until he learned to speak atage five.

It wasn't until his senior year in highschool, however, that Kulmatiski receivedany structured guidance regarding clay form-ing and glazing. His mother, the school'spottery art teacher, was his first instructor.Taking her class jolted Kulmatiski into a morecommunal approach to potting.

Upon his matriculation at Colby,Kulmatiski said that he "felt it appropriatethat I become the third over six foot whitemale president," citing previous Pottery ClubPresidents Dexter Harding '92 and Eric Miles'93.

Kulmatiski took the ever-popular PotteryJan Plan during his first year at Colby, butacted "more as a T.A. than a student." Heaccumulated enough of his own work to sellin the Colby Craft Fair in October.

" [Selling my pottery] allows me to con-tinue to work and have some place to put mythings. I definitely feel like I have the best jobon campus where I can be creative and dosomething I really enjoy," Kulmatiski said.

Kulmatiski said that it is wonderful thatpeople both enjoy his work, and pay for it,too. He stressed, however, that he doesn'tlike to be part of consumerist trends and hedoesn'trecommendthatpeoplebuyhis thingsif they're not going to use them.

"The greatest reward, is to hear that theyenjoy my pieces and use them regularly,"said Kulmatiski.

Although he has many satisfied custom-ers, Kulmatiski said he doubts that he couldturn his skill into a full-time profession. Heexplained that while it's easy to make moneyat Colby when there's no overhead, once hehas to start paying for his own materials itwill get expensive. "I'll have a pottery studiowherever I live," he said. "Even if [potterylisn't a career, it'll always be a hobby andpossible supplement of income."

Apart from the pleasure of having peopleenjoy his work, Kulmatiski likes the relax-ation and meditation that working on a piecebrings. It brings him back, in a sense, to theyears before he could speak. "It's time toyourself," he said. ''You're often not talkingto people. You're thinking about the shapeand the form and the colors."

Another major theme in Kulmatiski'smeditative musings deals with issues of thefunctionality versus the artistry involved inpottery. "Can artistic things be functional?"Kulmatiski asked, admitting that he doesn'tyet have a cut-and-dry conclusion.

When not in the pottery studio, (where hespends from 0 to 15-20 hours per week)Kulmatiski is often in the hallways of MaryLow unicycling, juggling, bowling, hangingfrom the ceiling and doing standing broad-

jumps up to a water pipe ten feet away.Kulmatiski relates his Mary Low antics to

environmental art, promoted by such artistsas Andrew Goldsworthy, ("a collaborationwith nature") by stressing their shared tem-porary facets. Kulmatiski calls his own ac-tivities "a good bridge between performingarts and physical arts."

While Kulmatiski often prefers solitudeand meditation, he is happy to point begin-ners in the right direction. The first step, hesaid, is to join the Pottery Club, which costsonly $10 a year or $7 a semester. "If you joinand want to make Christmas gifts, it'll costyou only ten dollars for all your Christmasshopping for the year," he said. ?

1) The key system. Why is it thatthe key used to get into a residencehall appears identical to that whichis used to unlock thedoortoaroom?Life at Colby would be infinitelymore convenient if the two keyswere a different size, shape, or hadany discernibly different character-istic.

2)TheMascot. A "Wolverine" is"acceptable. A "Black Bear," well, atleast black bears exist. Even aPurdue "Boilermaker" or BananaSlugs signify something about theuniversities for which theyaremas-

' cots. Inwhatway wasisthisanimalindigenous to Mayflower Hill?^Surely a moose — or a Volvo forthat matter — would be a moreappropriate mascot.

3) No mail. It is disappointingenough to pick up your telephoneand not hear a beeping dial toneindicating that you have messages,but opening the door to your mail-box only to find a wind tunnel putsa damper on your entire day.- 4) Living under a basketballplayer practicing his dribblingskills. Talk about a constant beat! Itsounds like there is an electronicdrum machine in the room!

5) The "Vendacard" system.How often are you in the library,and, just after having found a primepage to photo copy for a paper due

*•' '•' tomorrow, you realize that you for-got that essential white card?

6) The empty newspaper ma-chines in the Student Center. Stu-dents at Colby are oblivious enoughto current events. Being unable topurchase a newspaper in the Stu-dent Center doesn't help.

7) The absence of soap dispens-ers and paper towels in the resi-( dence hall bathrooms. It's no won-der people are always getting sickat Colby!

8)Thatsuddendropinthepave-ment on Frat. Row near Roberts. Itis hilarious to watch people stumbledown this sudden but subtle drop— unless if s you.

recognitionFor the first time in Colby's his-

tory, a sports team achieved thehonor of participating in a NCAAChampionship event. This teamwas the 1993 women's cross-coun-try team. The team traveled toGrinnell, Iowa, on the weekend ofNov. 20.

We finished 12th overall as ateam, YES, 12th in the nation, theresult of the best team effort allseason. MichelleSeverance finished14th individually, earning AU-American status for the 4th con-secutive year. Brian Carlson wasthe first man from Colby to qualifyfor nationals in over ten years and

finished 44th overall, with an out-standing race.

And yet, The Colby Echo failed toconsider this achievement worthrecognition. Our results did noteven appear in the scoreboard sec-tion.

We reached our team goals:going to nationals, placing in thetop 13 and having the strongest teamperformance of the season on atough course at the most difficultlevel of competition in Division III.

We feel that it is the Echo's re-sponsibility tp keep track of allColby's sports teams and to reporttheir results accurately. We feelthat our team has been overlookedand denied the respect that we de-serve..

Losing that game showed usthat you can't come out flat againstanybody if you want to win. In-stead of hanging our heads we wentinto the UMass game with a looseand fbcusedattitude.

This hew approach showed asColby came back from a 2-1 deficitagainst the fast Minutemen to takethe lead 5^2 on goals by junior Tri-Captain Brian Pompeo, McGovern,and first-years Darren Blauert andJodie Eidt. Colby forward BrianCronin opened the scoring on thefirst offensive breakout , uppingColby's record to 4-0 when theyscored first.

Fiesty, squash teamlooking to improve

BY JOSH STEVENSStaff Writer

The men's and women's squashteams have experienced differentstarts this season. The men's teamburst out of thegatesto win three oftheir first four matches, but havesince dropped their last two. Thewomen's team has yet to win amatch.

The men's team, coached byJohn Illig, opened at the WilliamsInvitational the weekend of Nov.19. After falling 8-1 to national semi-finalist Navy, the White Mules re-bounded with consecutive victo-ries over Bard and #17 Fordham.After a sweep of Ohio Weslyan, theMules went scoreless against StonyBrook and Vassar, two nationallyranked teams.

On Dec. 1, the men's team chris-tened the new state of the art courtsadjacent to Wadswortb Gymna-sium when they welcomedBowdoin to Mayflower Hill. Al-though the Mules dropped thematch 7-2, Andy Meeks '96 uppedhis match record to 5-3 with animpressive victory in his first sea-son of competitive squash.

Last Friday, the team dropped amatch to Conn. College, 5-4, de-spite victories from Matt McGowan'94, Dave Tedeschi '96, ScottMcCarley '95, and Meeks.

The women's team is veryyoung, with only three upperclass-men on a team of 11. Also, theMules are suffering from a recentrash of injuries that have tempo-

rarily sidelined Claudia Wehmier'96 and Courtney Marum '96.

The squash teams are lookingforward to the rest of the season, asis Illig.

"I'm pleased at the way the sea-son is going... we havea lot of youngplayers/ said Illig. "Even havingcourts is nice," said Illig, referringto the courts that Were ravaged bylast year's fire. 'These are spectacu-lar."

The men's team will try to im-prove on it's 3-5 record this week-end against Tufts and MIT. Watchfor Meeks, who will Took to im-prove on his 5-3 record.

The women's team faces Batesand Tufts to round out '93. Theteam is looking for continued goodplay from Captain Liz Greene andthe rest of the improving squad. ?

inserted into the White Mule start-ing secondary at the free safety po-sition. He tied for third on the teamwith 60 tacldes, picked four inter-ceptions, registered one sack,caused two fumbles, and had sevenpass'breakups.

To say that Jabar was an impactplayer for Colby would be an un-derstatement —just ask any oppos-ing receiver. Jabar was one of theleague's hardest hitters, playing hisposition with near-reckless aban-don.

"He has wonderful size andmobility and is a complete tackier,"said football Head Coach Tom Aus-tin. "He had some spectacular hits,and he really knows how to use hisskills."

Austin noted that he was pleasedto find Jabar at his disposal thisseason. "It's always nice to havesomeone with his athleticism," saidAustin. "Hehastheabilitytodomi-nate a game, now that he knows thesystem. Being at U. Maine helpedhim attend to the dramatic differ-ence in pace."

After helping the football teamto one of its best records in yearsthis fall, Jabar traded in his cleatsfor high tops and a spot on theColby basketball team.

"Playing basketball here wassomething I wanted to do," saidJabar. "Growing up in Watervilleand watching Colby basketball wasreally exciting. To be able to get achance to play for Coach Whitmorewas great."

"Jason has performed exception-ally thus far," said basketball HeadCoach Dick Whitmore. "You haveto remember that he hasn't playedin two years. He will get even bet-

ter as he continues to play and de-fine his role with the team."

So far this season, Jabar has av-eraged 4.3 points per game and 2.8rebounds. He performed particu-larly well in Colby's 107-104 triple-overtime victory over Wheaton inthe Colby Invitational Tournament.

Who says you can't come homeagain? Jason Jabar has journeyedfrom the world of big-time collegefootball and unhappiness to Colby

College, where he finds content-ment with the more modest foot-ball program. "I couldn't be hap-pier here," said Jabar. "I've made alot of great friends and I had funplaying football. I am having funnowplayingbasketballand theaca-demics are great."

He still has two and a half yearsto build on what he's alreadyachieved atColby, and it seems he'sfound a place where he can do itO

Women's hockey nets two winsBY ANDREW GREENBERG

Staff Writer

By beating Cornell and RIT, thewomen's hockey team came a stepcloser to reaching one of theirgoals—gaining respect in theirleague. Colby has never beat eitherof these schools until this past week-end at the Alfond Arena.

The Mules beat Cornell 7-5 onthe strength of 6 goals by their lead-ing line, Barbara Gordon '97, SarahGelman '96 and Cary Charlebois'97.

The Mules were behind 4-1 af-ter the first period, forcing HeadCoach Laura Halldorsort to makesome tough changes. The majorchange was moving defensemanGordonto forward. This movepaidoff 3:30 into to the second period asGordon scored the first of her two

goals. At the end of two periods thegame was tied at four.

Echo photo by J ennifer AtrvoodSarah Gelman '96 fights her way past a Cornell defenderfor a shot on goal.

Colby kept up the momentumin the third period, when Gelmanhad two goals and Gordon scoredan open net goal to seal the victory.

The women's second victorycame against RIT, 7-3. Gordon hadanother strong game for Colby witha hat trick. Gordon's first goal cameseven seconds into the game. RITstormedbackandscored two powerplay goals to give RIT an early 2-1lead. At the end of the first period,however Colby led 3-2 on thestrength of a goal by Gordon and aCharlebois power play goal.

The second period started offmuch the same as the first whenGelman scored ten seconds into theperiod, giving the Mules a 4-2 lead.Another goal by Gordon gave theMules a 5-2 lead after two periods.

Chris Haigh '95 polished off thescoring, netting two ElizabethLabovitz '94 assisted goals within12 seconds of each other to seal thevictory for "Colby, bumping theMules record to 2-1-1.

The team travels to Beantownto take on Boston College on Fridayand Harvard on Saturday. Al-though the B.C. squad is not yet avarsity team, they have some toughplayers to contend with. Colby splitwith B.C. in their two meetings thispast year.

"They have a lot of depth but nosuperstars," says Halldorson.

The Crimson are* a differentstory.

"They have superstars and ex-cellent goalies," she said. Harvardhas improved, beating teams theyhave not beaten in the past."

The Mules will have three morepractices to get ready for theirgames this weekend. In those prac-tices Halldorson will focus on whatthe team needs to do to win bothgames.

One problem the team has facedthis season has been the health ofthegoaltenders. Colby hasortly onehealthy keeper, Jen Dursi '96. Dursiwas between the pipes for the winsover Cornell and RIT.

Another key for Colby will bethe play of its leading line. Thethree members of that line—Gor-don, Gelman, Charlebois—haveput up unbelievable numbers forthe team so far. The line has totaled13 goals and 9 assists in 4 games.

Gordon, who will be trying outfor the national team later this yearas a defenseman, has scored in all 4games, totaling 7 goals in all. Gor-don is a natural defenseman. How-ever, Coach Halldorson thinks shemay be a better forward . Q

The women's basketball team may be off to a slow start this season, butthey are improving. After an opening loss to Husson College, the 0r3White Mules forced the Tufts Jumbos into overtime last Saturday night atWadswortb Gymnasium.

Despite the 75-70 loss, Coach Carol Anne Beach was happy with herteam's effort. "This was definitely the best game that we have had allyear/' said Beach. According to Beach, turnovers and weak foul shootinghave been the greatest problems that the team has faced. Beach also feelsthat the team needed the first four games as a learning experience.

With many new faces on the floor this year, including point guar dLynn Kenoyer and backup forward Christy Dix, the Mules need a periodof adjustment is needed before things begin to come together. The Tuftssee WOMEN'S HOOPS on page 13

BY ELLIOT BARRYStaff Writer

Sophomore center DavidStephens led the White Mule attackon the Tufts Jumbos last Friday inthe team's NESC AC season opener,which they won 61-52.

The Mules, who were comingoff an emotional 87-58 defeat byHusson College, continued to getinspired play from their bench. T.J.Maines '95, Craig Murray '96 andtri-captain Gary Bergeron '94 allplayed big roles in the victory.

Greg Walsh '95, Bergeron andStephens all hit dutch three point-ers down the stretch, to seal Colby'svictory. Stephens,, who played all40 minutes and finished the nightwith 21 points, nine rebounds andthree blocks, showed his versatilitybycombininghisoutsidegamewitha number of strong moves to thehole. Stephens bolted past Tuftsdefenders from the perimeter toconvert on a number of occasionslate in the game.

Junior point guard Matt Gaudetadded four clutch free throws atthe end of the game to ice the vic-tory, and the Mules were able torecover from a slow start.

Gaudet was second for theMules in scoring pumping in 15points. Bergeron added nine, whileMurray collected seven boards.Gaudet also led Colby in assistswith three.

After the first ten minutes of thegame, Colby's attackhad only mus-tered 9 points. At one point Colbytrailed the Jumbos 21-ll,beforeoutscoring the Jumbos 16-6 late in thegame to cut the Jumbo's lead to 29-27 by half time.

The late first half rally was

sparked by Head Coach DickWhitmore'sbench. Maines, Murrayand Bergeronall contributed, some-thing not lost on Whitmore.

"We are still an emerging team.We have different people comingup to play big roles every game,and our bench was huge tonight"said Whitmore.

Colby never did find the threepoint touch that has been such aweapon over the first four games ofthe season. The White Mules hit ononly five of 23 attempts, a meager21%. Tri-Captain Chip Clark '94struggled to find his shooting touchall night, missing all eleven shotshe attempted, three from behindthe arc. .

Despite not being able to find itsoffensive stroke, the Mules kept thegpme close with tight defense. TheMules held Tufts to 25% shootingin the second half, only allowing 23points over the final 20 minutes.Coach Whitmoye pointed to thedefensive work as one of the keysto victory.

"We played really well. [Tri-captain Glenn] McCrum did a greatjob at shutting down their All-American," he said.

Whitmore was referring to theunusually low 10 point game byAll-American Chris McMahon.McMahon was McCrum's respon-sibility, and the senior forwardnever let his Jumbocounterpart findhis game.

Colby walked away from thenew and shiny Wadsworth gym-nasium with a win, but it did notcome easy. The three point shot isan essential part of the White Mulesattack and future victories will onlycome if Colby can improve on itsFriday's performance^

There 's no place like home. With a sym-bolic clicking of his heels, Waterville nativeJason J abar *96 has come home to Waterville,transferrin g from U. Maine-Orono to hishometown school, Colby College.

Though he'sbeen on Mayflower Hill onlythree months , Jabar has made a noticeableimpact on Colby's athletic programs/ Afterjumping into the White Mules football team'sstarting secondary this season, Jabar earnedhimselfaspot on the basketball team, comingoff the bench to provide strong defense andconsistent rebounding.

Jabar/s ride to Colby hasnot been smooth.After considering a few Ivy League schools,Jabar applied to three Yankee Conference(Division IA A) schools and ultimately optedfor the University of Maine at Orono .

He began his first year at U. Main e withhighhopeS/ buthewas redshirted.Sitririgoutwas a new concept for J abar , a star atWaterville High School. It led to the begin-ning of an unhappy situation for Jabar atMaine.

"I just wasn't very happy there," saidJabar. "Bein ginaPivision Ifootball programhas its positives, but I feel like the negativesoutweigh the positives. The football pro-gram at Maine is going downhill and if youplay football 'at a Division I school, it's basi-cally your life."

The U. Maine football program requ ires ayear-long commitment , something that Jabarhad trouble adjusting to.

"I wasn't really having any fun but it wasa tough choice to give up a scholarship ," saidJabar. Jabardecided to transferfr om U.Maineover the summer.

"I made my decision to transfer late andthen the possibility arose that I may be able toget into Colby on short notice/' said Jabar. "Ialso looked at Union College in New York,but my main concern was that I didn't wantto sit out another year."

Having officially transf erred , Jabar re-turned "home " to Colby, where his father ,brother , and uncles have all studied. Hisbrother , who is currently enrolled here, trans-ferred to Colby from Boston College. It wasactuall y ironic that Jabar ended up at Colby,because coming out of high school he did notconsider Colby.

"Going to Colby never even crossed mymind, so it's a little funny that I'm here now,"said the 6'4" sophomore. "When I first ap-plied, I only looked at schools that wereofferin g scholarship s."

Now, Jabar plays in front of many of thesame fans he played before as a high schoolathlete. "It's good to have some local sup-port ," said Jabar. "I know that a lot of localscome to the the basketball games, and I sawsome locals at my football games. It good tosee hometown support and people comingout."

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack. This is thesound of the "Mul etr ain," the peculiar tunethat is the inspiration for Colby's hockeyteam. Before the boys in blue march onto theice, the "Muletr ain" kicks in over the P.A.system, changingtheatmos pherein the lockerroom from loose to intense.

"The Train' was around back in the 60swhen Colby Hockey was unbelievabl y good,"said first-year center Todd McGovern. "Whenwe hear it in the locker room, we know it'stime to play. Coach (Scott) Borek brou ght itback last year as a sort of a reminder of theglory days of this hockey prog ram. We wantto bring those days back."

. With Colby's 5-3 win over Uljilass-Amherst on Saturday, the Mules took a hugestep in restoring those days of glory. UMaSs,which is in its inaugural college hockey sea-son., will join the Division I ranks next season,entering the Hockey East Conference.

"This win was enormous for the programand the players," said Borek. "Beating a highprofile team like UMass is great for the cred-ibility of our team and the school. I think weare a lot more visible now, and tha t willdefinitely help us in recruiting the players weneed in future years."

After Colby's disappointing loss to rivalBoWdoin on Wednesda y night , the WhiteMules had somethingtoprovea gainst UMass.
