Holm discusses dismissal Professor accused of harassment says College 'not justified' in actions

ByChrtsLlwla Ithacan Projects Dll'ICIOr

World-renowned cello insuuc­tm Einar Jeff Holm bis said llbaca Collegeofticialsforcedhim to.It.ave the School of Music, sealing some specu)ation about bis departure in August.

"After 27 years of service, I don't know, it's just very painful," said Holm, a tenured professcr.

Holm moved out of his Ford Hall studio Friday, Aug. 20, amid student allegadons ranging from physical and 'VCdlal sexual harass­ment to sexism, mental manipula­tion and abuse of power, which surfaced in the March 25 imle of

The Ithacan. Hohn declined to comment on

the specifics of the allegations last sping.Butlhepufessornowmain­tains he is innocent of the accusa­tions and said the College was "ab­solutely not justified" in their deci­sion "to let me go."

College officials have declined to comment on maaers regarding Holm, citing a policy of not dis­cusmngpersonnelmauers publicly.

But in an interview on Mooday, Oct 4, Provost Thomas C. Longin saidHolmwasnott.ellingthewhole story.

"The College followed through with their promise to offer him a

new contract." he said, declining to elaborate further.

In an interview Wednesday, OcL 6, President James J. Whalen de­clined to comment

Holm said he was upset that the College waited until Aug. 17 to notify him of their decision, which was after the College's new con­tract period had begun.

The contract period for full-time professors started Aug. 16, said Dave Maley, manager of public infonnation.

Holm saidlheCollegehasbarred him from returning to campus.

While he is not in contact with College officials presently, Holm

said he expects to be negotiating with them eventually about their actions.

"The alternative isn't too pleas­ant," Holm said. mentioning the possibility of a lawsuit against the College.

Last semestei-, 12 current and former students told The Ithacan about sexual harassment or inap­propriale behavior by Holm dating back to the early 1980s.

Three of those students signed formal complaints with the College's Affirmative Action Of­fice in the spring of 1992 and said Holm was appealing the College's investigation.

Two faculty mernbezsduring this time said students complained to them about sexual harassment by Holm and two students repcxtedly transferred to different schools be­cause of Holm's behavior.

Currently, Holm said he is pur­suing other job opportunities as a cello instructor.

"I have been getting the word out [to other schools] about my availability," he said, noting the difficulty of finding work this se­mester after many schools' con­tract periods have already begun.

Holm has declined to comment further, saying hen~ to heed the advice of his lawyer.

"When racial incidents happen the perpelralOrs are not getting the punishmenl they deserve. I want Ithaca College to be an instibJtion of higher learning not an instibJtion where racism is ignored," Fernandez said.

Whalen said the participants did not disturb the dinner. 1'1 appreciate that they were civil and quiet," he said.

patrons. Young said the Board had

lengthy discussions and "brain­storming" sessiomduring their visit la.1t week. about both the incident andrelatedimplicatims, but no for­mal action was taken.

Whalen said that the most im­portant item on the list of demands presented to him was the final note: "To be continued."

Whalen said he would be talking with his cabinet and Slaff for ideu inaddressingthesedenwlds, which had been brought up by students of color numerous times before.

Both Whalen and Longin said they favored integrating diversity awarenessintothecootentofclasses when reviewing them, and adding more ethnic courses.

Whalen said he has seen that separateedmic studies departments tend to fall by the wayside if not incorporated across the curriculum.

Attracting faculty of color is dif­ficult because they are in demand and generally prefer to live in urban areas, he said

'This is not an excuse for not trying," Whalen said.

The president said he is working to double the Sbldent of color en­rollment within the next few years, although this goal may be out of reach.

Interpretations fluctuate between 'noose' details By Chris Lewis Ithacan Projects Director

College officials will not com­ment on possible judicial action against Justm Chapman '94, the student whose controversial art project WM f~ in (he campus quad Tuesday ,Sept.28,andspmked a healed open fonan the following nighL

PresidentJames J. Whalen said Chapman violated some rules of the student conduct code, but did not specify which ones.

"People say the.re should be no judicial review," he said "There will be a review of this case. We can't pick and choose what cases we review."

Judicial review does not neces­sarily result in judicial charges.

Whalen said there did not ap­pear to be any evidence of aca­demic violations.

Nine pieces of rope in the shape of hangman's nooses, each dipped in either tar. cementorplaster, were found in the academic quad by a Campus Safety officer at approxi­mately 5:30 a.m.

Under each noose was a wooden block inscribed with different names, such as "Uncle Ben," King 2," and "Tyson."

Chapman said his instrucux-,Les Leveque, had full prior knowledge of his art project and knew it would be hung from trees on campus. Chapman also said the nooses had beenhanginginaCeraccheartroom for two weeks and seen by many people.

·A.Harry McCue, chair of the art department, said Leveque had no knowledge of Chapman's art.

Leveque canceled an interview with TM Ithacan and declined to reschedule a time to comment this week.

Chapman also said .a Campus Safety officer watched him and a female friend put up the nooses between approximately 1:30-2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 28.

The recent conlroversy regard­ing a student's art project has expediated the need ID llave an ad­vismy committee formed through the vice pesident of the Office of Campu., Life and Student Affairs, Fox said.

Oblak, who was not present at the meeting, said in an interview Wednesday, Oct. 6, lhaltheadmin­istralion bas been discussing the development of an advisory com­mittee for a long time and was not provoked by last week's incidenL

The advisory committee would

coocentrate on the subject of cam­pus safety and racial sensitivity problems., ObJat said.

It would also address the con­cept of perception and reality re­garding minority views and mues that can mate people of color feel uncomfonable, he said.

"I'd lite ID get a committee to­gether lhal doesn't just talk about problems, but gets a solution," Oblatsaid.

Oblak said he hopes ro recruit students primarily from minority organil.81ioos on campus by asking for names of and recommendations for those interested in joining the advisory committee.

When Oblak discussed the idea of an advisory committee with Fox, Fox said he told Oblak that the Student Government Association already served that purpose.

But Oblak said he would like a separate advisory committee.

A pocential problem with the committee is lhat Oblak wants to co-chair and convene it with Fox, said Jen Haile, vice president for campus affairs.

Additionally, the committee meetings would follow Oblak's agenda rather than the students'.

-John B. Oblak, vice president for student

This could also make it difficultf<X' studenlS to voice their opinions if they find the administration at fault in a situation, Fox said.

"We're not against Jack [Oblak]," he said. "We need to work with Jack [Oblak], but we need to set [students'] goals first."

Nicole Young, student trustee and Student Government Execu­tiveBoardmembez,alsoexpressed concern with Oblak.'s position on the committee, because she said in the past students believe the ad­ministration has been partly re­sponsible for their problems.

Fox said Student Government will not endorse Oblak's advisory committee in any way, rather, it willreorganiz.easocialjusticecom­mittee that was originally fonned wt year.

Last year's social justice com­mittee was not followed through because of technicalities. But Fox said the Executive Board decided to refonn thecoounitteeMonday night

The Board's Steering Commit­tee will detennine the goals of the social justice committee, including the ismie of diversity.

Fox exJXCSSC(I his concem that the Ithaca College community needs more diversity education for admin­istration in addition to faculty and studenlS.

Fox will choose seven to nine studenlS ro make up the committee, which ideally will have representa­tion from groups such as BiGALA, SA VA W and the African-Latino Society.

Fox said he is concerned that lhe administtation and the student body were not forming the bridges they had ~ired ro build.

He mentioned last week's inci­dents, when Student Government received notification of the noose incident through school media.rather than from the administration.

.. That bothered me," Fox said. "I thought the administration was try­ing to build a bridge with the stu­dents."

•Financial aid may change from need-based to merit-based, as discussed by the Board of Trustees. •President Whalen has pro­posed to the Board that the College cut Thanksgiving break and compensate with study days or religious holi­days. •A student library worker, Nicole Luciano, will now rep­resent the library in the Stu­dent Government Association.

To provide .more pcrspeccive.. on the issue of art and the implica­tions of Chapman's wort, Howanl Erlich, dean of humanities and sci­ences, is holding a panel discus­sion called "Reflections on the noose incidenL"

The panel will be held Tuesday OcL 12 at 7:30 in Emerson Suites B. Profess<n from the art. poli­lies,philosophy, lheatezandspeech communication departments will sit on the panel ro discuss their perspective and to answer ques­tions.

"I have spoken with faculty members who werefrusttated with the kind of discussion that has oc­curred. I thought more needed to be said." Erlich said.

"We never had a chance ro dis­cuss the implications of guerilla art. That discussion still has to hap­pen," said Nick Wharton, director of Educational Opportunity Pro­gram.

"In some waysJ ustin' s intent to discuss racism is honorable. I am at a point where I can support ex­~ion, but be honest enough to critique it," Wharton said.

Provost Thomas C. Longin said lthacaCollegesupponsartisticand academic freedom but not without limitations.

''There's a line somewhere," Longin said. "Generally we stand for academic freedom. The goal is to allow the trained and experi­ence<I scholar full freedom to pur­sue the lrUth within the parameters of their discipline."

Longin saidJustin Chapman.as a senior art major, was working in an advanced level studioartcourse.

lbis senior level studio art course bad more man emphasis m Clelling artrada than discussing the technical apect of art, Longin

said. While Longin recognized

Chapman's goal of provoking dis­CW!sion about racial issues, he ques­tioned whether Chapman fully un­derstood all the implicationsofleav­ing his art exhibit in the Academic Quad in the middle of the night

"This is the tough pert. He wanted to coofront people and their sensi­bilities without ahem looking at this through the prism of 'this is an art exhibit '"Longin said. "Idon'tknow if he realiud how sophisticated the coocept was."

Chapman's art project was an assignment for part-time Ithaca Col­lege art professor Les Leveque's sculpture class. The assignment is stated c;,n the class syllabus as fol­lows:

"Design a proposal for a site­specific sculpture or installation. This design should include either a model or detailed drawings depict­ing the sculptwe and in the site from different poinls of view. Yo" should provide information on the ~tlwd of construction and installation. It is important thill you consider the site carefully and thill your proposal express thill consideration."

Leveque did not make it fully clear to the students, either on the written syllabWI or verbally, as to where the geographic boundaries of their projects existed, nor that they should consult with Leveque before choosing a location, said A. Harry McCue, chair of the art department Chapman, therefore, did not infonn Leveque that he intended to display his assignment on the campus quad.

"The professor tells me that he was not infonned that Justin was putting it in the quad," McCue said. "But he did not tell the class, 'come and see me before you place this."' McCue said. "There was no caveat as to wheze ro put it"

HoweverChapman saidLeveque had full prior knowledge of his art project and knew that it would be hung from uees on campus. Chapman also said the DOOSr8 had been hanging inaCaaccheartroan for two weeks and were seen by many people.

Leveque canceled an interview with The Ithacan and declined to reschedule a time to comment this week.

McCue said he spoke with Jus­tin for over an hour and a half after the incident happened, primarily discussing his artistic judgment.

''The notion that I got was that he did the piece IO promote a dialogue on the subject of nlCism on cam­pus," Mccue said.

The Art Department will not change its policy so as ro restrict an displays within the walls of Ceracche,McCuesaid.Butthe con­troversy over Chapman's project hasraisedquesaionsabouthowofear the boundariesof displays have been made ro students.

"It might not be a change," McCue said. "It might be more a matter of stating the obvioll'!. It was jll'lt understood that you do class work in the classroom and if not, the professor should know what's going on."

The ambiguity of this incident has caused Longin to begin the pro­cess of explmng what the respon­sibility levels are for faculty in guid­ing classes. Especially those more advanced clas.9es where students work independently.

"Are we sufficiently attentive? I don't know," Longin said.

But the department has not yet reached any formal conclusions about policy changes, McCue said, adding that the forum held Wed., Sept. 29, even fwthtt clouded the issue among art faculty and staff.

"It seemed like such an angry meeting," McCue said. "We were left after that feeling less sure of our position than before."

McCue said that he was not pointing fingers at Chapman or Leveque, but would like the depan­ment ro discuss the issue in a civi­li7.ed fashion.

"We would like to move toward doing some sole-searching," McCue added. "In that sense, the project was succesmd."

Literary reading benefits poor, homeless nationwide By Chrtay Coleman Ithacan Staff

As the presentation began, little could be he.ard but the faint back­glOIDld hum of the circulating fans. Above the speakers' podium hung a mobile of three wooden white doves slowly rowing wilh the flow of air, each wilh its own solilary pace. but cut out in the same shape as the otben.

Published writers from thellhaca area gathered in the peaceful con­fines of Muna- Chapel Tuesday night. Oct. 5, to read excerpts from their works to students and faculty as part of Writers Harvest: A Na­tional Reading.

Sponsored by the national non­profit hunger organi7.atioo Share Our Sttength (S.O.S.),-more than 150 instibltions nationwide partici­pated in the simultaneous reading to raise money and promote aware­ness of hunger and homelessness.

Even thoughbung'!isanational problem, the issue has local impor­tance since the reading will help lhe local needy, said writing pofessor Edward Howez, who organi7.ed the event

Half of the proceeds raised through vollDltary donations will benefit Loaves and Fishes, a local soup kitchen located in downtown llhaca. The remaining money goes to S.O.S. to be distributed nation­ally to other groups fighting hunger and homelessness.

The reading began shortly after 8 p.m. to the 80UIKb of a quietly speakingaudienceoffacultymem­bers exchanging their hellos and studenlll looking f<r friends.

Outside, the chilling October wind formed an lmOCiation with the descriptive shM stories, poems and novel excerpts that conveyed feelings of detachment felt by a hungry and homeless person.

Although not all of the readings directly pertained to stories ofbun­ger8Jl(f hcmelessness, the main pur­pose of the event was to get stu­dents thinking about those issues.

"The excerpts are intended to reflect the existing poverty and so­cial restrictions and injustice," writ­ing professor Antonio Di Renzo said.

English professor Kevin Murphy read a poem about the detachment of his brothez and explained that

there are "many types of homelessness."

"It's not an abstract issue," said Wilcox, a<klding that one in five children go to bed hungry every night and 37 million people live in povezty.

This persistence of hunger and homelesmess can be shocking to some, because lhe United States is believed to be one of the world's most powerful COIDlbies.

"We live in a powerful country, but we're powerless to feed our hungry," be said. "Natiooal offi­cials are just not doing enough."

Wilcox introduced his selection by briefly explaining his own six­year experience with hunger and homelesmesson lhe streets of New York City.

"When I w~ out there, I went days and days and days without food, and that's when the real hun­ger started, n he said.

Wilcox explained that the con­tinuous existence of homelessness indicates there is not enough progress to change generational povezty.

"Just as there is poverty that passes down from one generation

to another, there is also genera­tional weallh, and those in power are not helping those that truly need it," he said.

"I've been so far down that I realize how difficult it is to get back up," Wilcox said. "It's all too easy for someone to go home to their house after coming home from their job - to have a roof over his head, and forget that people have this problem [ of homelessness]."

Di Renw specifically addressed the social perceptions of homelessness by reading a story about a homeless Italian man who wanders into a prominent Italian-

owned business looking for ethnic camaraderie. What he finds, how­ever, is a cold-hearted owner who sees only economic biases and of­fezs no compas&on.

"'Tell me you love me,"' said Di Renzo, narrating the desperate voice of the homeless man.

This exceipt in particular, along with other pieces read, expressed that people in unfortunate situations just need to know someone is there.

Writing insbUCtor Edward Hower said he hopes the reading inspired "creativity, compassion and com­mitment in all who attended."

Blue and red education Ithaca College and Cornell University students take advantage of courses offered on both hills By Avl Schaeffer Ithacan ~taff

-WIien · Aurelia Dudek '94 came to Ithaca College from her native Poland, she wanted to continue studying Slavic lan­guages. When she looked into taking a class on Russian poetry this semester though, Dudek re­ali7,ed the College did not offer such a course.

But all hope was not lost Dudekmerelylookedalittlefur­theztolheithacaCollegetComell University Exchange Program 8Jl(f found an answer-she could study Russian poetry al Cornell.

Since 1974, the ICICU Ex­changeProgtam has made it pos­sible for students al either insti­tution to take a limited number of classes al the other.

"The IC/CU Exchange Pro­gram gives students the oppor­tunity to take advantage of a great resource," said Sheila Reakes, iwistantdirectorof con-' tinuing education and summer sessions al IC.

Students pay regular IC tu­ition while enrolled in a class al Cornell, Reakes said. One class al Cornell may be taken per se­mestez, <r a total of 18 credit hours through four years.

Any IC student enrolled in. at least 12 credits may register for oneclassatComell,Reakessaid. However, students may not be registezed for more than a total of 18 credits, or they will incur additional tuition charges.

StudenlS are only eligible to take courses at Cornell that are not offered at IC and relate to their major <r minor, Reak.es said.

As a Russian minor, Dudek was eligil>le to lake the course she wanted in Russian poetry at Cornell. She described the claa as significandy harder than lan­guage chmes at IC.

"The students [ at Cornell] are much more serious in what they do. I've noticed at IC, most students take classes just to fulfill their re­quirements."

-Aurelia Dudek '94, currently taking one

Russian class at Cornell

"The students [at Cornell] are much more serious in what they do, Dudek said. "I've noticed at IC,

most students talce classes just to fulfill their requirements."

Dudek said the Cornell class is also more competitive then classes at IC. "I like that evezybody tries to participate," she said.

This semester, 27 IC students are taking a c~ at Cornell, while 29 Cornell snidents are attending classes at Ithaca College, Reakes said.

Many of the IC students who participate in the Exc~ge Pro­gram are international business majors who wish to study foreign languages notofferedatithaca, such as Swahili and Portugese, Reakes said.

Most of the Cornell shldents studying at IC are nutrition majors who wish to minor in exezcise sci­ence, which is a program that Cornell does not offer, Reakes said.

According to Cathy Pace, regis­trar for lhe C<rnell School of Con­tinuing Education, Cornell students also take classes such as sign lan­guage, accounting, television pro­duction and direction, acting and human anatomy.

IC students participating in the program get a temporary Cornell identification card which allows them to use Cornell libraries and other facilities, Reakes said.

Reakes said that IC students commonly complain about the lack

of parking at Cornell and are sometimes intimidated by the size of the Cornell campus and its registtation process.

IC students have only two days to register for the class they wish to take at C001ell, or they face late fees. Reakes suggested that IC students watch the dead­lines carefully.

Another problem is the dif­fezence between the academic calenders at Cornell and IC. For example, Fall Break at Cornell thissemesterisOct 11-12, while Fall Break at IC is several days later.

IC students in the program typically live in College-owned apartments which do not close during break periods, according to Tim Michael, assistant direc­tor of operations for the Office of Residential Life. If students live in a traditional residence hall, they mustfmdanotherplace to stay during IC breaks.

''They just have to deal," Reakes said.

But Dudek said she does not find the difference in calendars to be a problem, since she lives off campus. "Being from Po­land, I don't go home for breaks," she said.

Pace also said IC students have more problems al Cornell than CU sbldents studying at Ithaca, citing the parking short­age at CU.

But overall, Pace said the pro­gram runs very well. "I lhinlc it's good for both schools, so there's more than just a rivalry between them," she said.

Any student wishing to par­ticipate in the IC/CU Exchange Program should obtain a peti­tion form at the Office of Con­tinuing Education and Summer Ses.,ions in the Towers Con­course during the semester be­fore they wish to take a class at Cornell.

Cause for concern Residence director housing policy may be target of human rights abuse investigation by Human Rights Commission

By Tracy Talerlco Ithacan Staff

Complaints filed with the Tompkins County Human Rights CmunisoonagainstithacaCollege regarding its residence director apartment housing policy. could be investigated fer up to 180 days be­f<Xeadecisioncanbemade whether or not to charge with discrimina­tion.

Several individuals have filed complaints against the College, because they feel their human rights have been violated and that they have been discriminated against on the basis of their sexual mentation, according 10 Dave Maley, manager of l)ublic information.

The complaints stemmed from a new policy announced April 14 that restricts residence directors from living with non-married partners.

Maleyconfumedthecomplaints, butcouldnotcommentonspecifics regarding any of them.

The Human Rights Commission could not confirm the complaints. We are not giving any infonnation that a case is or is not pending at IC," said Teddy Zimrot, direcUl' of the Commission.

However.Zimrotdidexplainthe procedural steps involved when fil­ingacomplainL 'TheHumanRights Conunismon can take complaints as a pseudo-extension of a state division on human rights. on a county level," Zilnrot said. "It is an

"The Human Rights Commission can take complaints as a pseudo.-. extension of a state division on human rights, on a county level. It is an allegation that a state,federal or county law has been violated."

-Teddy Ziinrot director of the Human

Rights Commission allegation that a state, federal or county law has been violated."

The role of the Commisission is to review all sides of a case, speak to witnesses, question all involved parties. and make a decision as to whether or not there is enough prob­able cause to charge an employer or an individual with discrimination.

Individuals can file complaints at their local Commission in regard 10 laws concerning five different categories: employment discrepan­cies, housing problems, public ac­commodation concerns, faulty credit, and issues concerning non­sectarian tax exempt educational instiwtions.

Aftez the initial paperwork, the complaints are passed on to the regional office in Binghamton for research purposes. At this time, the state division notifies the employer

or respondent to present his or her sideofthecase.Thecwmantis then given the opportunity to rebutt the argument

In some instances, the Corilmis­sion might have a case involving dual filing. which would include the violation of a state and a federal law. An example would be the vio­lation of a law ~ on sexual discrimination, because it violates a state law. It also violates Local Law C, which is a county law that says individuals cannot be discrimi­nated against on the basis of their sexual orientation. A violation of this law requires a decision by the Commission within 180 days.

In a case where no probable cause is found, the complainant has the right to appeal. The case is then presented at a public hearing where an administrative judge talks with the claimant and the respondent, and makes a final decision.

If enough probable cause is found. there are two ways in which the case could be handled, Zirnrot said. The first is to "make the client whole again," which takes into con­sideration what a person has lost from the situation, what he or she was deprived from, and what can be done to restore iL

The second course of action is to talce punitive me$ures, which takes into consideration a complainant's emotional stress, as well as mon­etary issues where a reimbursement may be in order.

Professional Symposium ··,could not have gone bett~r'

By Angela Autry Ithacan Contnbutor

Individuality, strength of char­actez and self-reliance were a few of the topics ~ by actress C.C. Pounder '79 in a speech as part of the 1993 Professionals Sympo­sium. sponsored by the Educational Opportunity Program.

"Individuality makes people strong-that is the power of one," Pounder said to a group of about 75 students, alumni, faculty and staff on Saturday aftemom, OcL 3.

Although Pounder's emphasis on the individual seemed to conflict with the symposium's theme of "Uniting to Move Forward," Pounder explained. the union of people is an admirable ideal but not a reality. "A feeling of unity has never been a part of my black world."

Pounder. who appeared in "BeMyandJoon ."aswellas"LA. Law" and "Hill Street Blues," went to describe the hardship and struggles she faced before and after her years as a theater student at Ithaca College. Pounder. who was raised in Great Britain, said she found il hard to fit into the Ameri­can theatrical world.

As minority member, Pounder saidsomethealerdnctmmayhave been prejudiced against hes. but she does not cite it as a major problem she had 10 ovrzcorne.

Pounder said ha British accent was the greatest obstacle. adding that she spoke with an accent that was even more "British than the British."

But aftez overcoming the lin-

guistic barrier and working out fi­nancial difficulties, Pou,!der said she it was relatively euy for her to find a niche in what she refared to as"alremative theater" in the Ithaca area after graduating.

When a student in the audience asked Pounder if she felt the range of characters that she hml played was limited due to her race.Pounder said she did not feel as though rac­ism had stunted or inhibited her growth as an actress.

"Emotion and essence have no color, no form-fat nor thin. block norwhite."shesaid. ''Everything is cyclical.Eveiyone gets their chance. You must inspire people to choose you."

Pounder concluded by warning students of the realities of life after graduation or what she refared to as "life without the neL"

"Jobs - they are no longa guar­anteed or secuml." she said. "I dido 't leave college todo battle, but I had to fighL I found knowledge to be the most effective armor."

Nick Wharton, director of the Educational Opportunity Program and co-moderator of Saturday

moming'spaneldiscussion between alumni of color and current stu­dents of color, said he felt that the weekend could not have gone bet­tez.

''The .symposium was success­ful in getting alumni and students to coMect, "hesaid. "Itcouldnothave worked better."

At Saturday's panel discussion, Wharton said he told alumni that they should maintain a sense of responsibility. no matter how far away, or how long they have been out of touch.

"Stayingaway[fromtheICcam­pus] for many years did not relin­quish them from their responsibil­ity to stay connected ro the institu­tion," Wharton said.

The discussion was passionate and involved several pt"J'SOD8l sto­ries. which Wharton said lent to the power of the dialogue.

"Overall. it was a very educa­tional and intense session. We were able to start ironing out some of the generational gaps. to narrow the divide." Wharton said that the dis­covery of nine nooses on campus on Tuesday. Sept 28, and the inci­dents that followed. were not "cen­tral themes" of the session. Rathrz. Wharton said that the way students of color pen:eived themselves~ "safe" on campus was one of the main topics.

"It was the kind of event for individuals to get the sense of how highly visible and highly misun­derstood people fimction and cope in an environment like Ithaca Col­lege." he said. William Rubenstein contributed to this article

Take a glance around Ithaca College's campus and you may be overwhelmed by aesthetically pleasing sights, sounds and smells - blooming tulips, fragrant roses, landscaped lawns and the chatter of busy squirrels, preparing for the coming winter.

cling and composting program. "Weare lead­ers in that field," Hatch said.

In terms of composting, the College "takes a big pile of garbage and ends up with a small pile of top soil," according to Al Cobane, auxilary services coordinator.

But if you take a closer look, do not be surprised if your eyes fall upon cigarette buns, aluminum cans and dirty napkins.

"We have a problem with it [litter], but I don't think it's any greater than anywhere else in tht: country," said Fred Vandenburgh, superintendent of maintenance and grounds. "It's everywhere, not just here."

"S tudenas, faculty and staff are pretty good about disposing trash in recepticals across campus, but there are people who stand out­side and smoke," said Rick Couture, superin­tendent for custodial services.

"The best thing we can do is put recepticals outside the doors and to continue to ask for

people's assistance if they are outside smok­ing; to use recepticals," he said.

"That would be a tremendous help for us." But Keirvan Davidson '97 said smokers

are not completely to blame. "I think the school could do a better job of

emptying the ash trays, because when you want to put your cigarette butts in the ash tray, it's overflowing," he said.

"This conveys the message that the school's not concerned about keeping the area clean."

But Vandenburgh disagreed. "We spend a lot of money to keep this place nice," he said, adding that $18,000 was spent last year on campus landscaping.

The College also employs worlcers to empty trash containers daily, seven days a week, and ground crews pick up extraneous trash on Mondays and Fridays all over cam­pus.

Vandenburgh added that in the last few years, litter on campus has lessened.

"For the most pan, people are becoming more conscious of their litter and garbage," he said. "And they are conscious not to litter."

"We generate our fair share of trash, but we recycle everything that can be recycled," said Operations Manager and Assistant Di­rector of the Physical Plant Bruce Hatch.

This soil is later mixed with fertilizers and is used as fertilizer on the College's lawns and flower beds.

Profs for peace Faculty march in memory of Underground Railroad activist By Jim Kelly Ithacan Staff

In the wake of last week's at­templedwbite8Up'C11Sisls' man:h andartconll'OYelSy oncanpus, sev­eral Ithaca College professors par­ticipated in a peaceful march in Auburn, Saturday, OcL 2.

Health services professor Stewart Auymh. polilics professor Harvey Fm:side, and anthropology professor Joel Savishinsty were among die 300 people that partici­pated in the march which began at City Hall and continued to Harriet Tubman's home in bona of her efforts to help escaped slaves gain freedml through the Underground Railroad.

One group marched from down­town Syracuse to Auburn. ttavel­ing the same route Tubman did with escaped slaves.

Auyashsaid the march was sym­bolic in light of what has been hap­pening at Ithaca College,andadded that the entire College community needs to work to a~ race rela­tions.

"The level of frustration and anger expressed at the Wed. night forum illusttates the problems at the school," he said.

"We need to look at why this level is so high and at what the faculty, administration and students can do to change it."

Fireside, who is from Austria, said he has experienced first hand the terror that Nazis can inflict on innocent people.

"People have a moral responsibility to face racism when it crops up in their own backyards."

-Joel Savishinsky, anthropology professor

"It is important to stop them before Ibey get too dangerous," he said, adding that African Ameri­cans, as well as Jews, need to unite

· to combat prejudice whereveritex­ists.

Jean Gerow, co-chairperson of the Tompkins County chapter of the National Organization of Women organized the march from Ithaca.

Even though last week's at­tempted march by white suprema­cists was broken up, the memory march was vital, Gerow said.

"You are seeing an increase in the activities of white supremacist groups only 35 miles away [from Ithaca]," she said.

White supremacist literature was found in downtown Ithaca as well as Auburn, she added.

Gei:ow said that "opposition to the views and the hate crimes that are being committed must be ex­pressed."

Savishinsky agreed by saying it is "critical for people to respond immediately and directly to any manifest of hate groups."

"People have a moral responsi­bility to face racism when it crops up in their own backyards," he said.

OPINION For or against?

VP Oblak's disregard for students leads to ineffectiveness

John B. Oblak is vice president for student affairs and campus life. But based on decisions Oblak has made since taking the job in 1988, a more appropriate title would be vice president of student affairs and campus IHe - which people often mistakingly refer to him as anyway.

It's an Important distinction, because It describes the type of person managing the largest division of Ithaca College.

There is an lncredble amount of student discontent with various

The manner In which Oblak conducted last Wednesday's open forum about racial tensions on campus la a mlcrocoam of how Oblak and his office operates. A forum should be an open exchange of ideas and diacusslon - but last Wednesday's forum was a session in which Oblak either refuted the Ideas of students completely, or pointed out small mistakes In their arguments while ignoring some very good points. The entire forum was full of total disrespect from alt parties involved, but Oblak acted like a king on his throne - standing by himself in front of 500 people, serving as both the moderator and the only person to answer both questions and criticisms. It was a scene for a classic confrontation - Oblak vs. students.

But that scene - Oblak vs. students - has been played out many times in recent memory, when Oblak should have been working with students rather than appearing to work against them. Other cases:

• In April 1993, Oblak told Student Congress members they were not an accurate representation of the campus when, for the second consecutive year, they vetoed the elimination of th6 Snack Bar equiva­lency program.

• In the same meeting, Oblak said Student Congress should approve changes to the student conduct code since the members would never read the document anyway. Ironically, Oblak told student congress to trust the approximately 1 o students on the Campus Life Committee (which drafted the document) since they were an "accurate· representation of the campus.

:_· a In ~mber.-1992. Oblak watched-11 demonstration ~ the African/Latino community to voice concern about two alleged Incidents of sexual and racial harassment. At the end of the rally, Oblak walked toward the microphone to answer concems of the crowd. Most of the crowd walked away jeering Oblak, after he openly disagreed with a student who claimed he didn't care about students of color on campus. Once again the confrontation was set - Oblak vs. the students.

• Just this week, Oblak suggested forming a committee of stu­dents and staff to make recommendations about improving campus race relations. He asked Mike Fox, student government president, to help recruit students for the committee _:_ a committee that Oblak intends to chair. Fox expressed concem about Oblak, or any adminis­trator, chairing a committee designed to address a student Issue. Oblak, again demonstrating a need to remain in control, offered only to have Fox co-chair the group.

The clear signal here, and in many other cases, is that Oblak does not trust students.

In the final analysis, it is Oblak's responsibility to report student concerns to President James J. Whalen, and it is Whalen to whom we address our appeal. Our vice president for student affairs and campus life must be more of a student advocate than a student opponent.

Mayoral candidate says ID checkpoint misunderstood

I was greatly distre~ to read the letter to the editor in your Sepl 30 issue ["ID checkpoint is remi­niscent of Nazi Gennany'1.

However, he was obviously re­acting to the previous week's ar­ticle in which The Ithacan misrep­resented my statements at a recent meeting of the South Hill Civic Association.

The problem we were trying to resolve was one of inebriated SIU- -

dents returning to the campus from downtown bars and uashing the neighborhood enroute.

Many suggestions were made and all agreed it would help it if those living on campus would just take the bus home. A little behav­ioral modification seemed to be needed. That's when I asked the legality of occasionally having a

checkpoint on a Friday or Saturday night at one or all of the bridges one must c~ to get to South Hill.

If the student were a resident of South Hill, he/she would be passed on with a plea to respect the quiet of the neighborhood. If the student lived on campus, the suggestion would be made to go back and take the bus back to campus.

It could only be a suggestion. The checkpoint would not be manned by police officetS, but by volunteers.

When The Ithacan referred to my comments you ommitted the reference to "taking the bus." It makes a world of difference.

I cannot understand why your reporter left it out as all present did hear it. Also, I'd have been most grateful if Mr. Halperin had just

gone to the source and called me. I would have been happy to set the record straight.

As a mayoral candidate, I am sure I am going to be misquoted often, but when it is by my own 'family' at Ithaca College it really hurts.

I say 'family' because I am a graduate of Ithaca College, Presi­dent of the Friends of Ithaca Col­lege and my name appears on the recendy dedicated pillars.

Ithaca College is near and dear to my heart. That is why 1 care about the repuaation of our students and will listen with an open mind to any suggestion which might ensure all living in peaceful coexistence on South IIlll.

Beverly Baker '54

Students need to accept responsibility The Ithacan' s editorial concern­

ing student rowdiness on South Hill [''Reducing Rowdiness," Sept. 30] showed a regrettable approach.

It variously blames the problem onthecollegeforiashousingpolicy, the city for its bus schedule and the geneml lack of adequare local trans­porcalion.

Somehow, the responsibility of the students whose behavior is at issue does not really get dealt with. When it comes to noise, vandalism, public urination, verbal as.wilt.and

a basic insensitivitytootherpeople, the underlying assumption is that "students will be students."

Does that sound familiar? Does it carry echoes of arguments such as "boys will be boys" or, more generically, "hey, it's just human nature"?

Blaming othec organizations, or making them responsible for re­shaping the envirorunentso that it's more student-friendly, or claiming that this is the way it will always be, are essentially cop-outs.

Students who want to live and be treated as adults in this world have to move beyond the narcissism that convinces some of them that they alone have needs and rights.

The burden of maturity is that they also have some fundamental responsibilities toact with decency and consideration for others.

Coilege spokesman clarifies disciplinary statement I would like to clarify a state­

ment attributed to me ["Art Project Confiscated for Racial Overtones," Sept. 30] in The Ithacan.

Conttary to the way it appears in the article, I did not say that the College was considering various disciplinary actions against the "art student," including expulsion.

In response to questions from

reporters -- and before anyone had come forward to claim responsibil­ity for hanging the nooses on cam­pus - I explained that a student alleged to have violated the Stu­dent Conduct Code could be re­ferred for judicial action.

Asked about the worst JJ9SSible punishment, I noted that it was ex-pulsion. •

At no time has the College said what action, if any, it will take regarding this incident.

As in all instances, we do not release information about student conduct cases.

ways that will disrupt a commu­nity.

Many students also exp:essed coocem regarding what they per­ceived as alack of College follow­up on other raciaJ/sexual assault incidents on campus. They shared a misconception that if an action taken against a perpetrator who is not visible (ie. suspension from school or, in the case of faculty/staff, dis­missal from a position), then the College did not take the charges scriously._I would like to speak to thatmiscooceptionandexplain what the College can disclose to the pub­lic regardingjudicial and personnel actions.

In 1974, Congress passed the "Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act" (otherwise known as the Buckley Amendment). One of the purposes of the Act was to pro­tect a student's right to privacy by limiting disclosure of their records without their consent Judicial records are considered part of the student's education record and, as such, are protected by the Buckley AmendmenL

Similarly, it is a standard policy among employers to insure the pri­vacy of the employee and to protect the employer/employee relation­ship. Therefore,anemployee'sper­sonnel records are not released to the public or discussed publicly.

"For certain mem­bers of the community, it may feel as if the College is covering up or ignoring information, when it is simply pro­tecting an individual's right to privacy."

affairs and campus life

Recmdsareonlymadepublicifthe student or employee is fonnally anested and charged with a crimi­nal violation.

When an incidentoccursoncam­pus and is reported 10 the College, an immediate investigation is con­ducted. If a violation of the Swdent Code of Conduct (which complies with State and Federal laws) ap­pears to have occurred, the student allegedly responsible is refened through the College's judicial pro­cess and, if appopriate, through the appropriate civil or aiminal court system. Allegations of sexual assault, ham.wnent,orracially-mo­tivated incidents are taken very se­riously by Ithaca College.

Although such incidences may become public knowledge through other sources, the College cannot, accmling to the Buckley Amend­ment.comment on such incidences with regard to a Sllldent's judicial record Information that is publicly available beyond the Campus Safetylogwouldincludeanycrimi­nal/civil proceedinp. "ahuo)d they take place. ·

The intent of our judicial pro­cess is to assure the emotional, psy­chological and physical safety of the Ithaca College community. A major part of that process includes educating student violators about the possible or actual consequeoces of their actions.

A number of factors are taken into consideration by the hearing officer or judicial board in arriving at a suitable sanction, iocluding intent, severity of the incident, and a person's judicial history.

Two of the possible, and most visible, sanctions are suspension or expulsion. Others range from com­munity service to warnings to pro­bation to restraint from campus, except to attend classes.

Military students say setting is no place for gays Working in the military is not like working at IBM

During my lime • Ilbaca College, I have read many editorials about the issue of gays in tbemilitary. lbavequiedyieadandlried to undenlllld many people's positioos.

During my initial basic training I was told over and over thal the Army does not consist of individuals, it is one big ream. If one person acts as as an individual it will have detrimental implications for the rest of the uniL

Homosexuality is a very complex and conttoversial issue. To some degree it is an issue of civil rights. Why then is the military being singled out to create this m~ive social

change that has not occurred in the pivate sectof'l It does not make any sense to me.

Woddng in the mililary is not like wort­ing at mM. In the mili1ary you sleep, showcr, and eal together. I would find it personally unnerving to know that someone in my pla­toon was homosexual and was engaging in homosexual acts. This would create a feeling of discomfort which will affect my morale and the morale of people around me. This could create a split in the unit, which could cost people their lives.

Considering cmrent attitudes regarding homosexuals, I feel that Clinton's policy of "don't ask don't tell," would be the most effective, thus allowing homosexuals to serve without causing tension within the uniL

To all of those who clamor for homo­sexual rights. start with the society in gen­eral. The military is not. and should never be, an instibJtion of social change. People who advocate homosexual rights in the military may feel virtuous; however, they should re­member one thing -- they are playing with people's lives.

Again, the type and level of sanction de­pends on many factors and cannot legally be released to the campus community. The ab­sence of such infonnation, however, cer­tainly should not indicate that ''nothing was done."

We can, and have continued to create an environment where diversity is valued and dialogue occurs. The opening of the Office of Minority Affairs in January 1992 and the commitment of those involved in the Diver­sity Awareness Committee and the Faculty Council Minority Experience Committee are examples of the success of those efforts. As a community of students, faculty and admin­istrators, I hope we will all continue our dialogue and the progress we have made.

Ithaca College is responsible for protect­ing the rights of all students and employees. This includes both victims and persons alleg­edly responsible for the violation. The amended Campus Security Act of 1990 re­quires that higher education institutions de­velop and distribute policies regarding cam-

THE ITHACAN 15

pus sexual assault prevention programs, and procedures to be followed once a sexual offense has occurred. Those polices and pro­cedures are provided in the Campus Safety section of the Ithaca College Student Hand­book.

Protecting the privacy of all parties is a responsibility the College takes very seri­ously. For certain members of the commu­nity, it may feel as if the College is covering upor ignoring infonnation, when it is simply protecting an individual's r;ght to privocy. This may be frustrating to mme individuals.

However, I assure you that the incidents reported over the years have been thoroughly investigated and appropriately processed, and while those involved may choose to present their version publicly, we will continue to adhere to the regulations set forth in the Buckley Amendment

We will also continue to investigate and respond judicially when such incidents oc­cur in the fubJre.

It is his personal collection that has grown into the New Products Showcase and Leaming Center, Inc., a 2,000 square foot, concrete and steel warehouse, located just off RL 13. In this warehouse is a collection of the best and the worst in the history of new products.

BizBrre bazaar Jello wrestling, Velcro walls and the Gyro highlight weekend's Rocktoberfest By Kelly Rohrer Ithacan Accent Editor

As the three-man Boston­based band, Gus, began to perf onn the first number in

their Rocktoberfest set, they had no idea of what an omen it would be.

From beginning to end, the day seemed like a day for people to let their hair down. And whether that meant wrestling in approximately nine garbage bags full of Jello gela­tin, sucking Jello through a straw, dunking the men's volleyball team, or remaining outside in the down­pour long enough·to have the Jello washed off, students seemed satis­fied.

Hall's sweet sounds of folk

To open up Rocktoberfest, the annual fall festival sponsored by Student A~tivities Board and orga­nized by the special events commit­tee, the acoustic/folk band ironi­cally began with "Rain," a song written by a friend of theirs from Tufts University.

And rain it did. An approaching Ithaca storm

held off for the first two and a half homs, just long enough for plenty of IC students to soar head-long into an inflatable Velcro wall, or dive into a sticky-sweet glob of lime and orange Jello.

"I thought [Rocktoberfest] was excellent It was a good way to get everyone together," student Paul Clapman '95 said. "They should do more of it.. .all of the organiz.ations associated with thisdidagoodjob."

By far the messiest booths were the Landon/Bogan booth and the booth staffed by Terraces 1 and 3 residents.

H oon-alcobolic bevenges arc not up ID the consumer's speed, they can go for a flashback to die Carter aa, Billy Beer, ora penonal favorite of McMatb's, Harley­Davidson Beer.

What is the difference between Harley-Davidson Beer and regular beer? Harley-Davidson Beer is, as the label reads, "heavy beer."

ing could provide a wOltout? Now thelC arc Bcabclls, beer glasses and wdghts in one. This is a prod­uct for the die-hard fitness cndlusi­asas who can pound a round while they lift some pounds.

To aide the impending hang­over, here's a possible product die "Morning After Herb-Draught," deemedas'"TheFirstNallll'81Hang­over Comforte.t."

A pot of coffee always does well. But, why not tty flavored cof­fee a la Nestle's Panache? If unfa­miliar with -it, Panache is coffee flavoong. In McMath 'sopinion, this product failed because ''people don't know what Panache is, let alone how ID spell iL"

Further searching would uncover forgotten treaswes like "Hambwger Soap on a Rope" and Yuppie Puppie-doggie snacks that come in their own vending machine.

On one shelf tlle'IC is a small cauainer widl a picture of a large gorilla snapping a 1000 pound bar­bell over his head. The product named "Gorilla Balls," similar IO Whoppers malted milk balls, is ac­canpanied by the slogan, "When­ever you need to, take a pair."

A closez look would llDn up a

black box with a skull and cross­bones oo its wmppa. No, itisn'trat poison. The product is a packet of cigarettes named "Death Ciga-rettes." '

Also for fun, consumers at one time had the opportunity ID pur­cbascMaleOlauvinistPigCologne, made at the height of the feminist movemenL

Now, it is sanewbat more easy to understand why DUiiy of these and other poducts failed.

According to McMalh, a prod­ucts failme could be attributed IO a variety of things: the packaging could be wrong, or the name could be wrong. People have ID under­stand what the product is and how IO use it, and the design has 10 be righL

McMath usually gives expert advice IO prod1,1ct researchers. "[Consumers] cannot be disap­pointed. When you disappoint somebody, they'll never buy your product again ...

"The biggest reason so many productsfailatthemomentis [there are] IOO many 'me IOO' products," he said. "Me IOO" JXOductsare things that every company is making.

Fm example, during the wine cooler craze ''there were 300 wine cooltts launched," McMath said.

These words of advice are taken seriously by many canpanies be­cause McMath has been known IO predict the winners and losers with 98% accuracy.

Butofthe thoosandsof newprod­ucts invented and marketed, how many actually fail?

"There are about 16,000 SKU [stock keeping units] logged as new

products," of these, "eight out of ten, [or] 80% IO 94% fail. "

"I go ID 14 to 16 lr8de shows a year. I tty to pick up all die possible samples I can get. Also, I go stq,­ping. Anytime I go anywbele lgo shopping,..-McMalb said. "I some­times write away for products."

"Right at the moment there area whole lot of companies coming. Sometimes it's once a month. Somtimes it's two. Sometimes it's three."

Still, a facility like this does not come cheap. It costs companies anywhere from $150 an hour IO $1500 a- more, per day.

This is just ooe reason why the museum is not open to the public.

McMathonoccas~nwillinvite students to come in and tour his establishment, but he said that he cannot open it to the public until there is enough security IO protect his investments.

Fa-instance,manyproducls tend to disappear, especially the beer cans. ''People like to collect beer cansandsay, 'Ohhehassomanyhe · won't miss this one.'"

Take a walk on the mild side Walking tour off er views of hist<?ric Ithaca College campus By Lauren Stanforth Ithacan Staff

OnParent,Wetkend,IthacaCol­legesllldenrs usually rakethcirrela­tives on a tour of what they call home; the South HDI campus. But most parents, and probably even students, know little about the college's roots downtown.

I REVIEW I gards to the walking tourpamphlets.

The walking tour attempts to illustratethedifferencesin the South Hill campus and its original Victo­rian setting.

But people taking the tour should be forewarned that walking to some of historic sites located on the map might end in disappoint­menL

A self-guided walking tour of the Ithaca Consezvalory of Music, illustrated in a brochure prepared by the DeWitt Historical Society, allows people to experience the his­toy of Ithaca College by viewing its buildings and landmarb down­town.

The brochure visually promises red brick buildings engulfed with ivy and0018tecarvings which adorn porchcolumnsandoverhangs.Most of the time, the tour keeps this un­stated promise. Except however, for a few instances when historic sites strikingly resemble parking lots.

The Ithacan/Rena M. DiFilippo Th• Boardman houM Nrved ae Hhaca College'• flrat atudent campua center.

According to Margaret Hobbie, director of the De Witt Historical Society, the w~g tour has been vecy popular.

"We've had ttouble keeping them stocked," Hobbie said in re-

The most frustrating ~t of the tour, the perking lots, are some-

times all that remain of the original 32 Ithaca Conservatory buildings located on the brochure map. Hobb~e explained that the 11 his­toric buildings, no longer in exist­ence, were demolished before

'Blithe' lacks spirit Dry tone limits comedic potential of 'Blithe Spirit' production By Ryan D. zemanek Ithacan Contributor

The Ilhaca College Theater sea­son ope11ed last Friday night with Noel Coward's comedy .. Blithe SpiriL"

Coward's riotous story of one Charles Condomine, played by Michael Hurd '94, and the antics that arise when medium Madame Arcati (I.amen E. Feeney '94) res­urrects the spirits of his two dead wives; Ruth Condomine, portrayed by Jennifer Mendelson '94, and Elvira, played by Sarah Chalmers '94.

REVIEW Director Amo Selco's produc­

tion of "Blithe Spirit," however, falls somewhat short of the play's full comedic potential.

Choosing to emphasize a dry English tone, Selco leaves the ac­ta'S with little room for character­iz.ation.

With unimaginative blocking and a poor range of characteriza­tion, the actors appear stiff and un­comfortable.

This is especially true of Brad Chalmers '95, portraying Dr. Bradman, whose mind appeared to be anywhere but on his character.

As for the other actors, credit must be given for fighting to keep the show's pace up. In the end that is what saves "Blithe SpiriL"

The lack of characterization · causes act one to drag. Its only saving grace is the character of Edith, played by Sarah Davies '96.

The role of Edith, the Condomine's Maid, is a lovely, high-sb'ung character part with only a few lines.

Fortunately, Sarah Davies' por­trayal was flawlessly humorous, garnering the majority of the act's few audible laughs.

In addition. Selco has her reset the stage in character during inter-

With Davies' contribution and the addition of Sarah Chalmers, playing Charles' first wife, the play manages to survive through the sec­ond acL

From there the production starts to pick up steam, as the actors push at the edges of their characters.

By the third act. a firm tempo is established, but Selco never really breaks the dry mold of humor, and in the end the play lacks the punch that this play requires.

Hurd, who plays Condomine, delivers an adequate performance, hindered only by the rigid lack of characteriz.ation that is predominant throughout the show.

To his credit though, as the play picks up, so does Hmd's perfor­mance, and by the show's end he is the main contributor to tempo and consistency.

Mendelson, playing Charles' second wife, brandishes only a small range of believability. This is most clear in her frequent aying fits and furious exclamations, which come across as tired or IDlder done.

lnaddition,Mendelsondoesnot speak loudly enough, which hin­dered the rest of her performance and caused breaches in consistency.

Thechemistty between these two players is forced at best in the be­ginning of the play, and evolves only to a tolerable level by the end. This, however, contrasts the won­derful chemisll)' between Hurd and

selfish and childish. Her incessant desires bring around much of the trouble that makes the play so en­joyable.

Chalmers is consistent and her objectives are believable. She is only restricted by a lack of charac­terization, and this diminishes Chalmers' presence. In general, her performance is enjoyable.

The show eventually gains enough momenblln to make it en­joyable. Unfortunately it lacks depth, merely skimming the sur­face of the hilarious implications inherent in the story.

Selco's vision of dry English wit is never really achieved; instead, only an uncomfortable aloofness is prominenL

The primary fault of IC's pro­duction of "Blithe Spirit" is sup­pressed characterization and char­acte.r relationships due to poor di­rection.

The Psychology behind the Citibank Classic Visa card, and the emotional security of the Photocard. The Citibank Classic Visa®

instills in students feelings of safety, security, and general wellness not unlike those experienced

in the womb. Therefore, it is the mother of all credit cards. <J[ Some experts attribute these feelings

to the Citibank Photocard, the only credit card with your photo on it. A voice inside says, "This

is me, really me." (As opposed to, "Who the heck is that?"-a common response to the photo

on one's driver's license.) It's an immediate form of

ID, a boost to your self-image. <j[ Of course if your card is

ever lost or stolen and a stranger is prevented from using it,

you'll feel exceptionally good (showing no signs of Credit

Card Theft Nervosa). 9[ Other experts point to specific

services, such as The Lost Wallet" Service that can replace

your card usually within 24 hours. Or the 24-Hour Cus­

tomer Service line, your hotline, if you will, for any card­

related anxiety whatsoever. <j[ Further analysis reveals three

services that protect the purchases you make on the Citibank

Classic Visa card, at no additional cost. 1. Buyers Security'm can cover them against accidental

damage, fire or theft, for 90 days from the date of purchase' (preventing, of course, Insecurity).

~ ·· 2. Citibank Lifetime Warranty·m allows one to· extend the warranty for the expected service

life of eligible products up to 12 years.2 3. And Citibank Price Protection assures you of the best

price. You need only see the same item advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank

will refund the difference up to $1501 (hence no Post Purchase Depression). 9I Special student

savings are particularly therapeutic. There's the free Citibank Calling Service·m from MCI to save

up to 26% on long distance calls versus AT&T.3 (You're encouraged to call Mom and Dad regu­

larly preventing Parenta Non-Supportus.) And a $20 Airfare Discount4 on any domestic flight.

(Case studies indicate that a Fear of Flying is overcome when Spring Break in sunny Florida is a

possibility.) Not to mention the low variable interest rate of 15.4o/a5 and no annual fee for college

students. 'I Suffice it to say, you'll have a credit card you can depend on while building a credit

history. So call 1-800-CITIBANK, extension 19, to apply over the phone (students don't

need a job or a cosigner) or to have your photo added

to your Citibank Classic Visa card. Cf If we say that a

sense of Identity is the first component of the Citibank

Oassic Visa card, a sense of Security the second, and

a sense of Autonomous Will from your newfound

financial independence the third. don't be crazy ... Call. Not just Visa. Citibank Visa.

This humorous introspection providesthereaderwithinsightinto Codrescu's intriguing life.

Other aspects of American cul­tme include guns, new age healing, immigration, as well as the cities of New Orleans, New Y orlc, Las Ve­gas, and San Francisco.

Since the film itself relies heavily on images, the book includes many still black and white photographs from David Graham. This renowned photographe.r adds additional irony to Codrescu's words and the rich range of tones ground the reader into reality despite the surreal tone to which Codrescu takes in describ­ing them.

Mac on the attack Culkin switches gears, genres with mixed results By Garrick Dion Ithacan Staff

If anyone can destroy the myths of normal American family life, it's director Joseph Ruben. In both Sleeping with the Enemy and The Stepfather, he pitted women against their worst nightmare -- the perfect husband gone psycho.

Now, in The Good Son, he presen'8 America'sdreamchildasevezyparent'sw<nt nighbnare.

Macaulay Culkin stars as Henry Evans, a bad seed hidden deep within the guise of a loving. playful child. His parents have been too busy mourning the loss m their other son over the years. and are thus oblivious to their son's mean SIRak.

F.nter Henry's good-hearted cousin Mmt (Elijah Wood. Radio Flyer). Whilehisfada is BWPY Oil business. Mart is sent ID stay with his relatives at their Maine home with the hope that he will be able to put his remorse to rest over his recently deceased mother and start living again.

Henry bas Olher ideas, however. What begin as bannless childhood pranks escalate into fatal "accidents" amcl threats oo Henry's family. Mart finds himself alone in a fight against Henry (nobody will believe that Henry is capable of evil), and the stakes increase as Henry presswes Mark into taking the blame for everything and taunts him about his mother's death.

The psychotic personality film is not a newidea,andit'sbeendmetodeathasoflate -so much so that the brightspotsofRuben 's film are squelched by a sense of deja vu.

Still, as scripted by Ian McEwan, The Good Son is a decent thriller with some interesting subtexts.

The interweaving of the death of Heruy's brother and Mark's mother makes for some sttong character development, including the notion that Mark begins to become posses-

sive of Henry's modler. Ruben's direction is light and riveting

dilling the film's more tense scenes. And the film never forgers to utilize its gorgeous Nevada and Massachuseus locations. The natural beauty of the film counters the Slark, grim reality of the story nicely.

The acting, for the most part, is surpris­inglyconvincing. Obviouslycanying lhemost weight (as America's sweetheart playing against type) is Culkin, DI he does a decent job. Hcnry'scoosamttaunlingofMart("Do you think I'd aclWllly harm my little sistet?j allows the character the necessary sense of devilish cbann, without going overboard.

Wood proves himself, as in his strong performance in Radio Flyer, an engaging, intelligent yOIDlg actor. His wide-eyed, spir­ited perfmrumce leads the audience into be­lieving the struggle that arises between the two boys.

Despite an eye-opening climax, one can't help but think that there's only so many places such a film can end. Numerous cliches inherent to the tluiller genre (such as the total disbelief of evezybody towank poor Mark) are all given yet another try here.

Ruben and McEwen try valiantly to keep the film as creepy and skin-crawling as pos­sible, as they pose a parent's worst fear -having a son who gives evil a new meaning. Unfortunately, great cinematography and convincingperfonnancescan'tcreateamas­terpiece out of tired, predictable devices.

SPORTS Twice as nice: Byrne's squad blows

out RIT and Nazareth By Jennifer Saltzglver Ithacan Staff

After Clarkson clinched the Empire Ath­letic Association title, em:ning an automatic bid to the NCAA championships, the Ithaca College men's soccer team faces the difficult challerige of having to win the remainder of its games in order to make the NCAA cham­pionships.

MEN'S SOCCER On Wednesday, OcL 6, the Bombers, now

7-2 on the season, conquered RIT, 5-1. · Freshmen Rich Slifer opened the fust

half with two goals-the first one assisted by Jason Dove and the second goal assisted by Lee Dillenbeck.

The newcomer has picked up momentum since the beginning of the season. This, he said, is normal for him. "I usually start off pretty slow, even in high school, but once I get on a role-it is hard to stop," Slifer said. "I'm looking forward to more goals, more assists and supporting my teammates."

Ian Palmer had two assists in the second half, resulting in goals scored by sophomore Todd Stephan and senior Kyle Kusz. Lee Dillenbeck also tallied a goal in the second half.

Eric Pepper once again displayed a solid performance in goal, stopping two breakaways in the second half.

The Bombers gained speed in the game's second half with both the offense and defense playing strong, coach Andy Byrne said

"The team played O.K. We really picked it up the second half, scoring more goals," Byme said.

On Saturday, Oct. 2, the men had another vicrory,6-1 againstNa7.areth. Stephan paced the offense with a bat-Irick, scoring one goal in the first half and two more in the second

"I feel pretty good about my hat-trick:," Stephan said. "The team had a good first half but in the second half, after Nazareth scored to make it 2-1, we picked up our game and things started running smoothly."

The freshmen duo of Rich Slifer and Peter Genrich each contn'buted one goal to the scoring, as did Dove.

This was Dove• s first goal of the season since retmning from an ankle injury. Dove said his ankle is still bothersome but does not provide a big constraint on his playing abil-

ity. "My ankle is still sore from the sprain," he

said. "It is still not 100 percent but that is the only thing bothering me. It dampers my per­fonnance a little bit - I can't go hard be­cause it is still sensitive."

Dove, who earned All-American honors his sophomore year, said repeating such achievements is not his primary goal. "I've missed so many games that I just want to help the team and have the team play well. It will

be hard to repeat what I have dor.e; I run just going to do as well as I can this season."

The Bombers have six games remaining in the regular season and if they plan on extending their season to the national tourna­ment they will have to go undefeated.

"We have to try and win the rest of our games to advance to nationals, but we will be playing some hard games," Byrne said. "The teams are nationally ranked. Hopefully, with­out injuries and some rest we will play well."

Hoopster brings judo to College By Dave Udoff Ithacan Staff

Christine Pritchard, better known as the Ithaca College women's basketball coach, has anolher hobby that she is currently intro­ducing to IC students - judo.

At the first organiz.ational meeting for judo, Pritchard lectured these students about the history of judo and her own personal involvement with the sport. She also demon­strated some of the basic and advanced moves with her teaching ~istant, Suwme Smits.

Many of the stud~nts who showed up for the meeting were newcomers to lhe sport and showed their curiosity by asking questions. Most of them were not sure whether or not they were looking to use Pritchard's classes as practice sessions for competition.

32 THE ITHACAN

Bombers drop third straight game By Glenn Rolh Ithacan Staff

The Bombers woes continued on Wednesday, OcL 6, as their los­ing streak exlmded to·t1ne games.

FIELD HOCKEY Ithaca was def eared by the Wil­

liam Smith Haons, 2-1. "We didn't look like we were

playing lite a unit," head coach Doris Kostrinsky said. "It doesn't look like a team that bas practiced together fm fow weeks."

Senim midfielder Kim Dodge scored the lone goal fm the Bomb­ers. "The fact is that were having a hard time putting the ball in the net." she said. Dodge is tied with fresbmenf<rWDl'dMarieKellywith the team lead in goals with seven. She also leads the team with 17 points.

Senior defenseman and captain Denise Guglielmo said she believes the loss is anributed to the fact that the team is not playing up to iLCi level.

"Asa whole we weren't moving well," she said. "We were not con­necting with our passes or cutting to the ball. We're not functioning the way we should."

Captain Cynthia Caldwell, who sat out yesterday's game with a sore leg, said she does not really know why the team is in a slump. "I wish I knew so that we could fix it," she said. She also said she thinks the team's ability does not reflect iLCi record. "We 're much better than

our record shows. We're not play­ing at the level we 're capable of and it's upsetting and disappointing," Caldwell said.

Kostrinsky agreed with Caldwell's analysis. "We bad the opportunities to score but we're in a plaleau. We need to pick it up and win the close games." Kostrinsky said. Overall, she said she thought itwasadisappointingloss. "Wedid not play very well. William Smith is not an overwhelming team and I expected us to play beaer," she said.

OneproblernKostrimkysaidshe saw with her team was they were not responding to the plays quick enough. "We were too busy think­ing instead of reacting to the play going on," she said.

Kostrinsky also said she thought that the midfield and defense played too tentatively. "The defense needs to drive the ball stronger up field and we are overhandling the ball bringing it up field." she said.

On Saturday the team oulSbot Messiah 16 to 9, but still fell, 3-2.

"It was a well game played for the most part. We outsbot them and had more penalty corners, but we didn't execute as well as they did," Kelly said. The Bombers received goals from Kelly and Dodge.

Kelly, in herfirstycar,has scored seven goals in eleven games and is surprised by her fast start

"I wasn't even expecting to play right away since I was a freshmen," she said. Now that I'm playing I'm very happy with the outcome."

Bonibers on course for first undefeated season By Dlckon Geckln Ithacan Staff

CORTI.AND- Since the start of thewomen'ssoccerprogramhere atlda:aCollcgein 1981,theBmnb­ers have collected many note wor­thy honors.

WOMEN'S SOCCER For the past six years, Ithaca bas

appeared in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Di­vision m playoffs and have been champioos in 1990 and 1991. It seems like they have achieved most things an athletic team could wanL

Notso. lbcBombershavenever gone undefeated in a season. That· was, IDllil this season.

With five games left in the regu­lar season the Bombezs downed Cortland 1-0 on Wednesday, Oct 6, to up their record to 9-0-2.

The Bombers went into Wednesday's game ranked second in the nation.

Cortland, who was also IDlde­feated and are the defending Divi­sion m national champions, were ranked fourth.

Co-captain KristinKaupang said playing the game under the lights was not a disadvantage.

Last year, Cortland defeated Ithaca in the first round of the Divi­sion m playoffs. Kaupang said re­venge was a factor on Wednesday.

"Cortland is always a big game anyway," she said. "However, I have not forgotten last years' loss, and so revenge is on my mind."

1bc Bombezs totally dominated the first half, but had no goals to

show fm iL Fanner believed that the first 35 minutes of the half was the best Ithaca has produced this season. - Cortland's head coach Chris

MaloncsaidtheBombersoutplayed his squad. "We should have been playing in mertime right now," be said. immediately after the game. "IfltbacacouJdshoot poperly. then this would not have been a game."

The key to Ithaca's victory was that its midfield and f<rWard play­ers were quicker to the bell than Cortland. Before the game, Ka~gsaid that would be tbekey if Ithaca was to win the game.

The second half was a slightly more even affair. However, Ithaca SOOD began to dominate again after Farmer made two tactical swircbes.

"We put Paige Mille.r in the cen­ter of the mid-field and that made us winsomemoreballsfromgoalkicks and 50-50 balls." Farmer said.

Ithaca also switched Susan Condelli to the ouwde. "The rea­son why we did that was that she [Condelli] had a little more room to operate," hesaid. ''When she knocks the ball around we are more effec­tive."

The winning goal was scored by Melanie Huss off a throw-in headed into the penalty area and shot in.

The teams play for the double­dummy cup which the losing coach has to present to the winning team - this gave Fanner the most satis­faction of the night

"There is a special spot on my shelf for this cup," he said. "And I will have great pleasure in looking atthatsuckerfortbenext36Sdays.",

Bombers shut down Division II rival to halt losing streak By Jonathan Whltbourne Ithacan Staff

After two consecutive road losses, the Bombers ended their losing streak last Saturday, Oct 2, by defeating the Springfield Chiefs 30-6.

FOOTBALL The game started with

Springfield's Tony Trisciani knifing through the Bombers special teams and rewming the opening kickoff for 96 yards. "It was not the happiest moment in my life," said Jim Butterfield, Ithaca College head football coach, regarding Trisciani' s kickoff return ... But it turned out to be a good wake-up call for us."

Ithaca's offense responded by oo:hestrating a seven-play, 64-yard drive with junior run­ning back Hodari Manin scor­ing from six yards out '1t was important that we countered [Springfield's] touchdown," Butterfield said. "We really needed that kind of an offensive boosL"

Both teams stayed true to their offensivegameplanbyrunning the ball for a c001bined 102 at-

tempts. "There was no surprise that this game was going to be won on the ground," Butta-field said. "We both love to nm and overpower our opponents. n

The Bomber offense was im­pressive, compiling 206 yards in total offense. Freshman running back Justin Johnson, who started his first game as a Bomber, rushed 22 times for 126 yards and a touch­down. "The offensive line did a greatjob," Johnson said. "They were behind me 100 percent and made my job a lot easier."

Junior Greg Mwphy started at quarterl>ackfor die Bombers. How­ever, windspreventedMurphyfrom initiatinga~ggame-he threw only five times the entire game. "Because we established a solid running game, we did not look IO pass all that often." Butterfield said. Senior Ron Smith replacedMwphy late in the fourth quartec.

The Bomber defense dominated the Springfield offense all day and did not allow a touchdown. "We played a tremendous game," said senior linebacker Billie Mays, Jr. "The entire defeMC did a great job with their assignments. n

In Ithaca's two previous losses, the defense surrendered a total of 59points.However,againstSpring-

field the Bomber defense did not allow the offense to score. "Against Alfred and Montclair I thought we overpursued on defense," said Mays, Jr . "Against Springfield we ttied to keep it simple and just stick to our assignments."

The Bomber defense held the Chiefs to 149 yanls rushing and only allowed Springfield to complete two passes for 10 yards. "We knew that Spring­field was predominately a wish­bone team, so we ttied to force them into third and long situa­tions," Mays.Jr. said. "The sec­ondary read their keys [pass pat­terns] well and the line pres­sured the quarterback. n

With a win against Spring­field, the Bombets have a 2-2 record and end their three-game roadttip. ''LastSaturday'sgame was extremely important," Butterfield said. "Hopefully, this win will put us back on the winning track." Butterfield also added that he is glad IO be play­ing at home the nexttwo games. "It's great to play on your own field," Butterfield said. "I'd love to play every game at home. Unfortunately,theleaguewon't give me such a schedule."

Freshman Johnson leads Ithaca backfield By Jonathan Whltbourne Ithacan Staff

The Ithaca College Bombers football team has bad IOdo baUle wilhsucll~albeGieat Danes, the Chiefs and the Red Hawks.

However, the schedule never mentions a truly brutal foe -injuries.

After only three games, the Bombers have watched senior running backs Mike Murtha and Todd Konick fall to injuries.

This presents an opportune moment for a yO\Dlg upstart to flaunt his stuff in front of the coaches. The prodigy who hopes to help the bruised Bombers is freshman nmning back Justin Johnson.

Against Springfield last wee.\, Jolmson rushed 22 times for 126 yards and a touchdown. "At first I was a liuJc nervous," Johnson said. .. But afta the first hit, the~ disappeared."

After Johnsoo'spetfonnance against lhe Clliefs, some are al-

ready beginning to compare him to the Ithaca College career leading rusher,All-AmericanJeffWiuman. However, Johnson remains modest in his thinking.

"I believe I am dJc rocaJ q,posi&e ofJcffWiaman, •Johnsonsaid. "'He was a power runner, I am not as strong, so I rely on my quic~ and my perception of the field." Johnson already has 2()C)yards rush­ing on lhe season - compared to the 190 yards Wittman gained on thegroundduringhisfreshmancam­paign.

Smith also said he believes the strong team unity has helped him adjust to his new responsibility. "The line is doing a great job," Johnson said. "Without their deter­mination and confidence in me 1 don't think I'd be doing as well."

Head coach Jim Butterfield agrees that the offensive line has doneanexcellentjobcreatingholes for the running backs.

"I know that there hasn't been, or ever will be, a running back in the history of Ithaca College who could rush for ovez one hundred

yards without a strong line," Butterfield said.

Johnson said he has learned much valuable information from the seni<XS, especially Murtha and Kooick. "I nmember after Milce (MunhaJ got hurt Todd [Konick) toolc me to the sideline and told me it was time for a morality check," Johnson said. "Mike has also been a good in­spiration," Johnson said. "He is my second set of eyes, he tells me things I can improve on and gives me more confidence in my ability."

When Johnson is at the ripe old age of 23 and leaves the friendly confines of Jim Butterfield Sladium behind, he hopes to be remembered as a good, solid nmning back.

"After my senior year I'd like people to think about Ithaca foot­ball and say ·Jeff who?'" Johnson jokingly said, referring to Wiaman. "But aclUally I'd be happy if people just said •that Johnson guy was a pretty good back.'".

Grzymkowski defeats alJDa mater as Ithaca bests rival Cortland

The Tuesday game against Cortland State played out the story of rival schools. It also played out the story of head coach Janet Grzymkowski.

"Ithaca and Cortland have always been major rivals. Being that I played at Cmland enhances thatrivalevenm<R,"Grzymkowski said.

The teams have battled it out in the past at the same intensity level at which this match was played, but the outcome is usually the other way. Since 1969, the two foes have played69 matches, with Ithaca losing 42 of them.

Grzymkowski said this revenge was caused by the focus the squad maintained. "Overall, the kids showed a lot of enthusiasm and stayed focused to pull the game out," Grzymkowski said.

Junior captain Tracy Swyers led the squad with 15 kills. "We feel great that we have finallyconquezed one of our rivals," Swyers said. "We usually have some kind of blockage of Cortland and tonight we tore them all down, and gave it our all."

Running in a pack helps Ithaca pull off second place By Bridget O'Brien Ithacan Staff

The women's cross country team's strategy seems to be work­ing.

WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

The Bombers continue -to run together during races to create a pack effect

Even though Ithaca's top three runners stayed on campus and rested this weekend, the athletes pulled together to earn a second place team score of fifty-two at the Roberts Wesleyan Invitational.

Head coach Adrean Scott said

she trains the harriers to run to­gethe.r during practice. This will help them do the same in meets, whtte the pack of Bomber runnezs try to edge out the competition.

The top seven scoring runners finished within twelve places · of one another.

The first Ithaca runner to cross the finish line was Danielle Gall in eighth place, while the seventh place finisher, Courtney Novey, finished in 20th place overall.

Scott said these results show the team is getting stronger in the third mile.

"We were able to come out a little more in the end," Scott said. "That was good for the team."

Following just behind Gall was

Michelle Belanger in ninth place and Kristina Snook in tenth place.

Such a condensed personal fin­ish remains the team's goal.

"We want to nm with one an­other and not have any competitas from other schools between us," Scottsaid. "We're working hard on running with me anothtt."

Scott said Wesleyan'sfairly flat course attributed ID four collegiate personal bests, all of which were earned by non-scoring runners: "The girls had a good meet," Scott said. "Everyonew<Xkedwithsome­one else and created a good team efforL"

This weekend, the Bombers will travel to Lehigh to compete in the Lehigh Invitational at 11 a.m.

Bombers look to avoid Yellow Jackets sting By Mire Sealer Ithacan Staff

Back oo track and rolling once again. the llhaca College foocball team loots ID recap­ture a winning record Ibis wet"k, as they return home ID baUle Division II American Inlemalional College.

Ilhaca bead coach Jim Butterfield said he knows that the Yellow Jackets. 2-2 on the season, will present quile a fight fm the Bombers, who are coming off a three game road trip.

"Each year, they're our toughest chal­lenge," Buttafield said. "They're a Division II team, and they 're very big and vesy suong, and dlis year especially, we have notict.d that they have excellent athletes. Wa1ehing the films, we havef ound them to be rather intimi­dating."

From theBomberperspective, Butterfield will be looking ID get his starting quarter­back.junior Greg Murphy, more involved in the passing attack, afier Bomber quarter­backs threw only six passes in last wedc's 30-6 victoly over Springfield

"We didn't throw the ball enough against Springfield,., Butterfield said. .. As the coach, I take respoosibility for thaL I should not

have allowed that ID happen, and that's an area we need to focus on. We must make the passing aaack an in1egral part of our offense thisweek."

During the game, last Saturday, OcL 2, Ithaca compiled only 20 yards lhrough the air, as Murphy completed 2 of 5 passes, with the longca completion being a 15-yarder' ID Julian Munoz.

While the focus may be on improving the passing game, Buuerfield expressed satis­faction withlastweet'srmhingpedmnance. With injuries to Slal'ling senior running backs MikcMunhaandToddKooick, the &mbers went withjuniornmning back Hodmi Martin and freshman fullback Justin Johnson. In his first game as a Bomber starter, Johnson rambled for 126 yards and a touchdown. Martin added 49 yards to the effort, with two touchdowns of his own.

.. You can expect to see dime two in the game again this week_" Buu.edieldsaid. "They did a fine job against Springfield, but there is always room for improvement, both day-to­day and game-to-game."

Nichols rests four runners; harriers still finish third By Chris Corbelllnl Ithacan Staff

The Ithaca College men's aoss country team proved they are not a team led by only one runner when they earned a third place finish al Roberts Wesleyan College without four of its top competitors.

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

Senior retwning All-American Mike Mulligan, as well as seni<n Steve Mathias, David Hay and sophomore Matt Conover did not compete this weekend because coach Jim Nichols said he wanted them IO take it easy, SO they will be ready for the bigger meets ahead. .

"We rested them a little bit, be­cause they are going to be needed to contribute later in the season," he said.

Without them, the Bombers earned a third place showing out of nine teams by posting a team score of 85 points. Nichols .described the race as "low key," but still viewed the race as a important determining fact.or on who he expects will fill the remaining varsity spotS.

"The top finishers here [Roberts Wesleyan] willbethekeyforus­they will detennine who we will take IO Lehigh," he said.

Those top two Ithaca runners were senior Hans Haverkamp and juniorMark:Newman, whocracked the IOp ten overall by placing fifth and ninth with times of 26:31 and 26:54, respectively.

SophomcxeMikeLoucaandjlDl­iorsRyanMurphyandMark:Gathen rounded out the top five finishers forllhaca.

Lehigh is the next stop for the Bombers on Saturday, OcL 9, an

invitational which Nichols said will be imponant because it may help determine how they will fare in the post season.

''This race will be bigger than our nationals; it is at the Division I National Ownpionshipsiteand will have quality Division I teams com­peting that will give us good race experience," he said "It will be a good indication of how we will do at the end of the season."

Murtha out for the year By BIH Gelman Ithacan Staff

Due10aninjury,oneofthelthacaCollege football team's leading playeis could be on the shelf f« the semoo.

Seni« fullblK:lc and captain Mite Murtha possibly suffered a semion-ending injury in practice on Wednesday, Sept. 29.

According 10 Pete Moore. Ithaca College sports infonnation din,ctor, Murtha tore liga­ments in his right knee, 8l!d the r.eam leader is expected 10 miss the temainder of the foot. ball season.

Murtha was reevaluated on Wednesday, Oct 6. by an orthopedic surgeon, who told Murtha to get a mechanical resonance image (MRI) 18km of his knee in order to determine the extent m the tear of his medial collateral ligament, Murtha said.

"It meant a lot to me to be able to SWt, but I am still a leader and I will be there for the team no mana what." Murtha said.

Murtha has not yet talked to head coach Jim Butterfield about his role for the rest of the season. "I hope that he continues to pro­vide his team leadership and maturity for the remaindec of the season," Buttetfield said

Butteriield said the biggest effect of the injury is thal the team has lost one of its captains. "With Murtha injured, we lose a strongdedicaledleadershipforce,"Butterfield said.

Besides providing the team leadeiship, Murtha provides the team with some potent offense on the field Prior to last Saturday's game, the seni« fullback was tied f« the team lead in rushing yards with 173.

The Bombers still have other means of transportation to make up for the loss of · Murtha's ~ miJeage. Butterfield said the team bu several players to step up at the fullbac!t position. Freshman fullback Justin

JohnsQn and juniors Hodari Martin and Jason Blood are three of the possible substitutes.

Johnson carried for 126 yards on 22 at­tempts in wt Saturday's game against Spring­field The freshman also contributed a touch­down to the Bombers victory. Blood added 30 yards on 10 attempts in the game and Martin chipped in two touchdowns among his 49 yards rushing.

Butterfield said all the backs learn the fullback and the running back positions.

Possibly, Murtha will be able to step back into action when the wrestling season gets underway in the winter. He wrestles at 1 n pounds for coach John Murray's squad and said his wrestling season is still a possibility for this year- provided he does not need to undergo surgery.

MWTily said that if Murtha does not wrestle it would be more difficult f« his team to win the national tournament. "The team is pre­pared to move either way, but we are hoping that it works out for him," Murray said.

To the top: Ravech goes from ICTV to greener pastures at ESPN

By Drew Marchand Ithacan Staff

Some say ESPN is the "end all" for a sportscaster. For Karl Ravech, only six years after graduating from Ithaca College, he's reached "the total sports network."

BeforeRavcch became one of the hosts of "SponsCenter," he worked on both Ithaca College radio stations, 92.WJCB and 106-­VIC. He broadcast Bombers' football games and broadcast weekly sportscasts. Oms Wheatley, manager of radio operations at Ithaca College, remembers Ravech fondly.

"He was a hard w<ding guy and he really got involved. He was always vecy well prepared. You can tell when someone has what it takes or not He had it, but I had no inkling at the time that he was going to make it," Wheatley said.

He also worked on ICTV-54 during his four years, from 1983·1987, al Ithaca Col­lege, hosting "The Gridiron Report" during his senior year. He credits his radio and TV experience at Ithaca College for preparing him for ESPN.

"I find that the background that Ithaca provided me is a great deal more than a lot of people at [ESPN] have." Ravech said. "In every aspect - not only in just being able to get on [TV and radio], but certainly the pro­duction values and the class work."

Ravech 's career started during his college years, when he interned at CBBT-TV in Boston.

As a senior, he received his first career break when Newscenter 7 in Ithaca adver -tised on the Ithaca College campus for a part­time sports anchor.

The station hired him and he earned col­lege credit, instead ofbeing payed He learned a vital lesson from this job.

"You get the job before you worry about what you make. Experience is what counts at that level," Ravech said.

Ravech, who said he came to the South Hill because of the opportunities as a fresh­man, said without Ithaca College and Newscenter 7 his next job would not have been possible.

"When I was al Newscenter 7, I was sending resumees and tapes, and I had a stack ~frejectionleuersasbigastheyellowpages," he said. "But there was always my belief in myself."

His confidence paid off as he moved to Binghamton, where he worked as a weekend sports anch<X' f<r WBNG-TV.

From Binghamton, he worked the same position in Harrisburg, Pa. al WHfM-TV. For WHTM-TV, Ravech earned a nomina­tion for a local sports Emmy Award in 1990 and 1991.

"I never thought about getting to ESPN while I was in Ithaca or when I was in Binghamton and Harrisburg. I was content where I was," Ravech said.

Although he felt no urgency to move while in Harrisburg, he said he could not pass upESPN.

"When the ESPN opportunity presented itself it would've been foolish to look any­where else," Ravech said.

Ravech is currently on the 2:30 a.m. edi­tion of "SportsCenter." "I'll be married with the 2:30 am. show for a while," he said. However, he did make his debut on the 11:30 edition on Monday, Oct 4.

Ravech said he feels happy to be at ESPN, but does not know what is next.

"I don't know where I go from here be­cause I never really thought about being here at this time," he said. "People have said to me, 'You're done. You're at the 'end all.' 'You've achieved what every sportscaster wants,' and to a degree that is true, but there are also ways to improve, while you are here. There are different shows to do at ESPN and you never know if a local situation presented itself - if that wouldn't be better."
