tenure as director, culminating
with the remark. "Why don't we
just close the door and go to
bed." Rice allegedly tried later
to dismiss the remark as casual
chit-chat, but Hendrickson
found the remark " .. . extremely unnerving and was very
apprehensive about continuing
to work as a subordinate of Mr.
Rice." she stated. Hendrickson
maintains that Colgate engaged
in unlawful discriminatory
practice when it retaliated
against her complaints by consistently denying jobs to her
within the University that she
was quali!ied for. Rice did not
continue bis employment at
Colgate beyond the summer of
1992.

A former employee or Colgate
Univmity has received a detttmination or probable cause from the
New York Suue Division or Human Rights (OHR) in her case that
she was unlawfully disaiminated
against in her employment.
The probable cause determination was released on October 27
on a verified complaint filed by
Betty J. Hendrickson on September 18. 1990, in which she alleged
that she had been sexually harassed by her supervisor Cblrles
Rice,· then assoclale dean and director or the office or undergraduate stud ies at Colgate.
Hendrickson, 50, or Earlville,
held the position of secretary to
Rice and Rebecca Howard, bead
of the wrilin& program II the lime.

the Univenity as amember of the
Buildinp 1111d Oroancls staff.
According to Heodricltoo's

generally harassing when she returned to her pos i1ion, and did not
agree 10 follow through with her
pan or the agreement that Tryon
had made with Hendrickson ahoul
lhe terms of returning to her
former position. Hendrickson then
went out on disability again. and
in late March was given an option
to do temporary work in other departments for six months. This
option was designed so that
Hendrickson would be able to gain
experience in different positions
and accumulate references while
applying for any permanent positions tbal became available during
this time.
According to the OHR's analysis or investigation, Howard
claimed that Hendrickson's job

Muslim Students Lack OnCampus Rellgious Leader

Muslim students who come to

there were ongoing problems between Hendrickson. Rice and

and her performance was nega·

as direc1or. Colgate ·s nnornCy
s1a1ed before 1he OHR that Rice

Juniors and seniors concerned
with oblaining off-campus housing could breathe a sigh or relief
this week when Dean of the College Michael Cappeto announced
that the off-campus housing lottuy W"'!ld not be implemented
until oexi year.
The decision was released this
week through an all-campus mailing from Cappelo which stated
that the college will allow the free
marker system to determine how
many people will live off-campus
next year.
The controversy over how
many studen1s would be allowed
to live off-campus began when the
Board or Trustees approved the
recommenda1ion by the Special
Committee on Residential Life
(SCRL), that only 250 people
should be allowed to live off campus in order 10 crea1e a more resi·
dential atmosphere al Colga1e.
Cappeto offered three different
me1hods or implementing this
policy to the student body. They
include the free market system.
which basically retains the current
policy, a permission system which
involves the first 250 upperclass
students interested in living off
campus obtaining permission
from the University, or an off.
campus lottery which forces all
students interested in living offcampus to draw from one or 250
available spots.
W.bile the University will experiment with the free market system this year, Cappeto al so
announced that a combined lottery-permission system will be
implemented in the 1996-97 academic year, if the need arises.
Cappeto said that his decision
to implemem the free market system for next year was "not an easy
decision," but would be the best
solution for the time being. He
indicaled dw one of the main factors in his decision was the fact
that many students w ho ap-
proached him had already signed
leases for apartments in 1he village. He said that he did not want
to put students in the posi1ion or
being stuck with leases while
waiting to find out whether or not
they would obtain permission 10
live off'• campus. "We went into
this whole process in Ociober,
thinking thal would be plenty or
rime, but evidemly i1 wasn't:' he
said.
Cappeto stated that he was
confident thal the free marker
sys1em would achieve a figure
close to 250, with allowances
being made for lhe unus ually
large class or 1998.
Cappeto soughl s iudent input
before deciding upon a policy,
including a survey sent out to all
sophomore and junior s1uden1s 10
ascertain student interest in liv·
ing off-campus. Unfortuna1ely,
only about one- third of the surveys sen1 ou1 were returned to
Cappeto. According to Cappe10.
1his turnout was too low 10 gain
conclusive data.
However, several s1uden1
groups endorsed different poli cies. The Studen1 Senate. the
Panhellenic Council, the Res idenlial Life Comminee and 1he
Student Affairs Board (SAB) all
endorsed 1he free marker system.
Kelly Connelly. chairofthe SAB,
said thal 1he policy recommended
by Cappe10 was "perfect," staring tha1 it was the best alterna-
However, 1he lnrerfratcrni1y
Council (IFC) and Kappa Alpha
Thera sorority came out in favor
or the lottery. They mainiained
that the free market system would
place. 100 great a burden on the
rra1emities and sorori1ies 10 till
their houses in order to achieve
1he figure or 250 desired by 1he
Board of Trustees.
Pres1den1 of lhe IFC John
Lane srnted thm he was ..fairly
happy wilh lhe posiiion" 1aken by
1he University. and added 1ha1 he
was pleased by 1hc foci 1hm the
lottery would be implcmc111cd 1hc
following year.
"At leas1we·re gcuing soinc·
thing w e want. We're used to not
gelling anything,'' Lane said.
Lane d id indicaie 1hnt he was
skeptical thut the free market sys·
tern would actually nchicve th~
desired number of studc111s living
off.campus.
Me mbe rs or 1he Colga1e
alumni echoed Lane·s sentiment
and maintained 1ha1 the free mar·
ket syste m would still yield about
450--500 students Jiving off earn•

Hendrickson maintains 1ha1
1he testimony at 1his hearing did

According to no1ices pos1ed

a '"repealed behavior" in order

Al 1he end of 1he si, monlh period Hendrickson was termi ·

According to Hendrickson.
the University was "very insen•

Environmentalist Lectures on ''Ecolibrium''
By Carolyn Misaae
Moroon·Nt14'S Staf
On November 28, Arol Wulf
and 1wo 01her environmen1aliS1s
came 10 Colga1e 10 presenl !heir
ideas for a new socie1y based on
lhe ecological balance in 1he
world be1ween mind, soul and
land. Co-sponsored by S1udents
for Environmen1al Ac1ion
(SEA), the Universi1y Lec1ure
Series and 1he depanmen1s of
environmental studies. geogra·
phy. philosophy and religion and
women's s1udies, Wulfleclured
on the topic of ..ecolibrium."
"There is a war going on
now, on streets. in homes and in
the environmen1. lbere are no
e1hical s1andards anywhere in
1he world," Wulf said.
Al 1he base or ecolibrium is
the Zendick Farm communi1y.
This 300 acre wooded organic
farm is home to 20 to 70 of
Wulf's followers. Moslly
Anglo-Saxon college age s1uden1S, all inhabitan1s live cost
free with the expec1a1ion tba1
Ibey will contribule in other
ways 10 the standard of living.
All food consumed is grown on
lhe commune and all items that
are used are recycled goods.
Zendick Farm serves as a haven
for anis1s, musicians, dancers and
graphic anisis.
Along with Zendick Farm,
which is localed in Basirop,
Texas. Arol has s1ar1ed the
Ecolibrium Alliance.This 8,000
person information nelwork is
composed mostly of college s1uden1s and is preparing for an immense revolu1ion in 1he year
2000. The plan is to call a con1inen1al co,7gress which will in lllm
legisla1e monumenlal changes in
the Slructun, of govemmen1 in lhe
Uni1ed S1a1es.
Under the new plan, 1he coun1ry will be divided inlo bio regions with dislricls wilhin each
region. All people wilhin a specific region experience the same
1ypes of ecological problems.
The leadership wi1bin lhe counlry will be bottom heavy, wilh almost all power n,sting wilh the
people. Theie will be a National
Ecolibrium Council which will
serve to help regions obtain
needed resources and also settle
border dispuleS.
"I believe Wulfhu raised and
illuminlled numerous alarming
and detrimenw actions apinst
our earth. I 1hink her ideas need
10 be heard and need 10 be underSlood, ye1 I 1hink she may fall
down, may not reach her soals,
when implementing the plans.
Unfortullalely, many people Qlllil
in the face or idealism; many
people rcac1 adversely 10 sucb
rerven1 rhe1oric. I think a compromise between her radical
ideas and a pragmatic, s1ep by
s1ep plan to change human consciousness and values, must occur," first-year Malt Roth said.
The idea of ecolibrium involves all people gelling back in
1ouch wilh 1he eanh. II involves
a nalllral combination or philosophy, clean soil, waler and air.
VJuJf is ttying 10 ponray 1hese
ideas 1brough her lectures on college campuses. her magazines
and her TV show 1ha1 airs iwo 10
three limes a week in 15 ci1ies.
"1 lhink it's very important 10
have different view points that
people can be exposed 10. I was
thrilled wilh the ·respoose and the
fact that people wanted 10 stay
and bear wbal she had to say. She
geaeraled discussion and taught
the audience that it Is ok 10 be

The notion of an honor code was

This was a really tough semester to be a newspaper editor II Colgalo. Joumalisll lbrive OD the conflict~ that arise out of controversy. We seek to question and inform; we seek to make people aware of the
even1s that are shaping !heir lives. By pilling opposing views against each other in the press, by questioning au1hori1y, and by giving a frank and honest portrayal of facts in a public forum, we hope 10
improve the community by throwing the issues out so that they can be judged in marketplace of ideas.
Usually Colgate offers us j ust enough controversy to keep our jobs interesting. Invariably, events
occur on campus which effect enough people that serious debate on imponant issues arises in the press.
This semester however. Colgate seemed to be plagued by a case of "the happies." The New Dorm,

of prideal Colgate. Adminis1ra1ors, professors. studen1s and alumni all seemed 10 be overwhelmed with
admiration and amorous emhusiasm for Colgate. And while that's gre;\I for the rest of the community it
makes our jobs down-right boring.
In all seriousness. while some members of the Colgate administration believe that we subsist by
digging up din, we honestly believe it is a very positive sign that Colgate has remained relatively free
from serious controversy. There is an genuine community evolving here with a true sense of love and
commitment 10 the University. In spite of potentially divisive issues such as sophomore rush, the honor
code. and the housing policies, the community has emerged unscathed. Unlike in past years where
debate has split us apart, this year we have engaged in honest discussion to discover what policies best
serve the common good, and then have rallied behind them.
Let us keep in mind however, that while we have made great strides we should never become too
comfortable in our situatiqo. The University should be a place devoted to a higher Good: the beltennent
of the mind~ and souls of ils students. We must be careful not to become complacent and satisfied. This
would only lead us down the road of mindless acceptance. We must continue to question, because it is
through questioning that we are able to discover what is best for ourselves and for our University.

Vehicles parked on campus overnight should be pa,ked

Homage to Hasselhoff, Europe's Favorite Heartthrob
Presenlly, I am on a downward slide as
1he roaring star known as David
Hasselboff is on lhe ascent. While most
of my fellow s1uden1s sit for coun.tless
hours behind 1heir dorm room desks or in
lhe cutthroat depths of lhe various university libraries pursuing lraditional liberal
ans degrees, I have opted differently. Last
year I declared myself a Hasselhoff concen1ra1or witba minorin cen1ral New York

away from gradua1ion, ii appears my concen1ra1ion pursui1 may prove to be frivolous. 11 now seems my study of 1his
unrivaled man of magnanimily is on the
cusp of becoming foiled. In shon, 01her
people are now also aware of lhe prominence of Hasselhoff, and I am no longer
going 10 become famous preaching my
Hasselhoff ban1er. Here are my prema1ure
findings.
In 1982 Hasselholf 1urbo·boos1ed his
way on10 lhe scene as lhe pompadour
Michael Knigh1, "a young loner on a crusade- to champion the cause of the inno..
cen1, 1he helpless. 1he powerless - in a
world of criminals who operate above the
law." This of course was the world of
asked 10 vote on something which would
have a major impact on the Universi ty's
academic environment. The impll!rncnHttion of an academic honor code at Colgah!
would chnnge the system or learning and
discipline that Uni versity s1udcnts and faculty members have been accmaomed 10.
When viewed in this lig ht. 1he decision 10
ins1ate an honor code seems to be an important enough one which needs lO be
made by bo1h professors and students.
Then why were there no facully members
(other than the ones that were on the pa~I)
preseni al 1he open forum on 1he honor
code a month or so ago? P:mcl members
were quick 10 agree that the ins1i1u1ion of
an honor code would eslablish a feeling
of1rus1 belween s1uden1S ""'' facuhy. And
yet, 001 a single faculty member was
present among 1hc audience at 1hc forum.
When a student brought the luck of f.tculty panicipation to u p,mel member's intention, the response he received was
some1hing along 1he lines of. "Facully
members feel 1hn1 whe1her or not an honor
code should he implemenied at Colga1e is
a decision 1hu1 should be made by siudents
and 1hey j1he facuhy) would not wanl to
influence that decision in any way.·· I
found 1his response 10 be hypocrilical 10
whal lhe proposed honor code would 1ry
to es1ablish - a beuer and more 1rus1wor1hy rela1ions:hip between facully and studen1s.
An additional excuse for faculty absence at the forum was provided by anolher panel member who said thni facuhy
members were not informed about the forum early enough and 1hi11 1hey had j us1
received phone calls about it that dny. Yet.
The MartHJ11 -News had printed a full page
ad abou1 the forum ~md signs flashing 1hc
words "honor code" were posted in many
academic buildi ngs. The absence or faculty members at the forum sent mixed
messages 10 the students who were 1herc.

On Friday, Ndvember I 8. 1he Lacio

held i1s fir.a IA11ino Fes1 by sponsoring 1he
band An1one11i. This band played 1wo
hours of salsa and merengue music in 1he
Commons. The band scarced playing a1
9:45 p.m. when 1here were only a handful
or students dancing. Utter in the evening,
around 10:30 p.m .. a few more people arrived. including students from Hamilton
Colleg• and one of 1he SUNY schools.
Unfortunately, the iurnout was nol whal
LASO had expec1ed. In 101al, Chere was a
1umou1 of only fo'rcy 10 filly people in lhe
Commons. ii was a shame 10 see 1he lack
of supporc chis event received.
As promo1iona! direccor of LASO, I fell
lei down by 1he lack of allendance. Many
people I spoke 10 afcerward blamed chis
low anendance on a lack of adver1isemen1.
Maybe my opinion is nol objec1ive, bul I
1hough1 1ha1 fifly brigh1 orange poscers

In addition. there were announcements in
1he Cuilural Cencer and Tht MaroonNews.
This was lhe second band LASO

American music with the community. The
firs1 was Tahuantinsuyo, a band who
played music from 1he Andes. This firs1
event was held as a pan of Hispanic Heri1age monch, and 1he number of people a11eoding was also very small. In all honesly.
I believe 1ha1 the low 1urnou1 for boch
events was mainly due to the lack of sup-
pore cullural evencs receive on this campus.
I don'I chink thal poor advenisement is
a reasonable excuse. I canno1 believe thal
ou1 of a body of2,500 s1udencs only 30 or
40 saw lhe poslers. After a11ending similar evencs a1 Hamiilon College and SUNY
Binghamton. where the events were
grendy aiiended by people from various
racial and ethnic groups, I have reached
the conclusion thal 1he majoricy of Colga1e s1uden1s do no1 1alce lhe 1ime 10 expand their horizons and experience
some1hing new. The even1 was free of
charge (ailhougll !here was originally a cwo
doUar fee 10 cover coses) and !here was
live music, wha1 else would a college studeo1.wan1 for en1enainmen1 on a Friday
nigh!? Obviously, Chere was no alcohol,
and 1ha1 migh1 have been a de1erren1.
Nonecheless, people on chis campus need
10 scan changing lheir priorities. If alcohol dicca1es where college s1uden1s go for
entertainment, lhen the Prlnctton Review
canno1 be blamed for Che repu1a1ion Colgace s1uden1s 1hemselves are perpetuating.
All preaching aside, I do nol think 1ha1
the event was a total failure since the
people who were 1here enjoyed 1hemselves. In addicion, I was happy 10 see 1wo
facully members a1 1he even1 (bolh visil- .

so 1ha1 Che period of 3$$imilation inlo lhe
American cullure is a short one. While
restticcions in immigration have become
imponan1, ii is imponanl 10 avoid a quota
system and ils obvious signs of racism. A
single figure may be escablished for lhe
desired yearly flow of immigrancs, thereby
being fair 10 all cullures. A plan such as
chis. Chough requiring much debale on
Capicol Hill for any hope of passage,
would gready increase lhe efficiency of
our curren1 syscem. A bold plan 10 fighl
immigr.uion was placed before California
voters last month, the infamou$ Proposi·
lion 187. This proposicion called for 1he
denial of basic welfare and education services 10 California's massive illegal immigran1 popula1ioo. The propow received
overwhelming suppon, wilh 59 percenl of
California vocers in favor of 1he plan.
While proleslS againsl Prop. 187 were IIOI
uncommon in California and lbroupout

a1 the common sense or the situation. The
Uniled S1a1es is the only nalioo on Eanh
where a person may enter and live as a

The problem of illegal immigration has

Environment Versus Genetics: Which is the Crucial Factor Influencing Intelligence?
Professor Addresses the Not So Subtle Forms of Racism
By Charles !'tie Banftff-Haley
With the recent elecuoos promising a
major realignmeot in American politics;
the emergence of a global economy that
promises to establish a world class sys·
tem; and the closure ofa century that, once
again, has Americans reconsidering who
and wbal they are, it is certainly no accidemtbatthedeeplyrooteddilemmaof,ace

and cultural discourse. In the last 20 years
of the nineteenth century, race toot oo a
similar role io shaping the discussions or

the nation's identity would be. Then as
now tbere was an influx of immigrants
who were supposedly said to be polluting
the pure Anglo-Saxon stock of the nation
while Afro.Americans were cast in intel·
lectual and popular cultural ~
and 11:presenlalioos as inferior beings who
were lustful beasts who bad 10 be coorained, otherwise they would pollute the
purity of the white race. Enforced segn,·
gation would eventually become the aoswer, but the lurid fascination with a
people whose exploited labor bad built
much of this nation, but who were cast as
ao "other," would continue.
It was In the early pan of the twentieth
century that the scientific use of intelligence studies (started by the French scientist Alfred Binet) slowly replaced the
aoatomical studies of the races to prove
the superinrity of the whites. It seems tb8l
in the latter pan of Ibis century has been
the Civil Rights Revolution. It has
changed the foundations of this country
and the ways we look at ourselves individually, collectively, politically, socially
and ecooomically. Much that was accomplisbed between roughly the years 19S4
and 197S are still being worked out today.
Indeed, the last 14 years has witnessed ao
attempt to either reject or soften the impact and legacies of tb8l revolution.
In 1974, AfroAmerica saw the emergence, for the first time io its history, of a
large professiooally-oriemed black middle
class that it hoped would being about a
truly meaningful integration (001 assimilatioo). This was a significant result of
the Civil Rights Revolution. At about the
same time, there appeared studies from the
academy by a n educational scientist,
Arthur Jensen, who proclaimed that intel·
ligence is rooted io our genetic makeup
andthaltberewasdemonstrableprooftbat,
on average, Afro.Americans were intel·
lec1ually inferior 10 white Americans.
What was missed in the ensuing, and certainly justified, moral condemnation of
Jensen's findings was tba1 he was spinning
out a new form of racism. He certainly
knew tb8l not all black individual, were
intellectually inferior, but rather tb8l the
group on average was. And wbal made
the group so low in cognitive ability was
the environmental status of the poor blllck

Colgate Should ''Teach Students How to Fly''
-oa
'
Colgate's new policy is ooe of overprotective parenting. By a student's senior
year, he or she should be allowed, or even
expected, to live off-campus. It requires
a person to account for their own meals,
electricity, heating and telephone bills, as
well as rent. 1be off-campus student
teams how to negotiate with a landlord and
select from a variety of living arrangemeots oo an open market. Most impor1111dy, the off-campus student suffers from
the consequences of a bad decision.
I have been living off-campus for almost a semester now, and I atn relieved
tbal I have learned these lessons while I
still have puents and a school to fall back
on. I'm quite confident that, upon leav•
Ing college, I will have enough problems
without having to worry about getting
swincDed by a landlord, or setting up utilities or budgeting my money for food, etc.
Maturity cannot be taught, it must be
gained through experience. Colgate s tu•
dents should not be removed from the
world they must eventually face. they
should be introduced to it through gentle
immersion. Hamilton is a small, basically
friendly town that provides the opportu·
nity for living experience. New York, Los
Angeles, Chicago and many of the cities
that Colgate students are heading off to are
not so small and friendly, and cao provide
quite a jolt to the unprepared. Whatever
reasons Colgate may have for corralling
students on-campus do not outweigh the
importance of this experience.
If you have a response to this or any
ooe of my anicles, or if you have ao issue
that you would like to see discussed, please
write to me at CU Box# CS09. or send me
ao e-mail message at GDERENE.

"My entire life is dedicaled to

caplain of the vanity crew team.
Uke many members of the crew
team, Stent did not row before he
came to Colpte. As captain of the
traclt team at Newton North High
School In Massachusetts, Storer was
forced to switch to crew after he
graduated because of various injuries.
Cgate, Storer and senior Loretta
Skeddle are responsible for helping
with fundraising effons. According
10 Storer, the team raises much of
its budget alone. The traditional
duties that go along with being captain have increased this year. This
fall, the hired coach accepted another coaching position, and as a
result, both Storer and Skeddle have
taken on the task of running the
team. They are also currently participating in thnew coaches for the upcoming
Spring season.
Despite the recent changes, morale is not u problem on the reams.

Participation is up to almost 90
people, but Storer doesn't seem to
mind the added responsibility. He
said that he believes that "athletics
add so much to an individual" and
he is quite happy with not only the
large amount of men and women
participating in the sport, but also
with the level of dedication.
A oeurosdence major, Storer is
not sure what he wants 10 dn in the
futwe. "I enjoy neul"O$Cience. Most
people tend 10 go 10 med s.:bool, but
I'm not sure what I want to do yet,"
he said. He would like to do research
in neuroscieace someday, and be has
not ruled out the possibility of med
school for the lilt-. After he gradu·
ates from Colgaie Ibis spring, Storer
hopes to coecb crew or row ID a club
somewhere. When s.:bool is not in
seasion, Storer can be found rowing
at the Union Boat Club in Boston.
For now, however, Storer said lhal
he is very h"PP>" concentraling oo

An advice column for our readers
Dear Julia,

I'm so far behind in my reading
that I couldn't catch up even if I
locked myself in a litlle room in
Case and studied from now until
December 16. I'm so scared, I
don' t know what to do! My academic future is at stake here. Julia.
Please help!
Stress Case
Otar Case,
Calm down! The secret is that
you're not alone. There are about
2,700 slUdents that are in the exact same position that you are (asSltming that there are about IOOor
so really responsible students, the

Aside from those litlle known
over-ach~vers, the rest of us are
in the exact same boat that you are.
Tbere are many methods of coping with final time stress, and Julia
will relate a few of the besl.
I. All-nighiers. Not really effective, but good for sympathy. Make
at least three pots of coffee and
spend most of the time cornmJser·
ating with your roommaies about
the amount of worlt that -you have
to do. You'll probably either fall
asleep around 4:00 a.m., or else
you'll be so jazzed from th: coffee that you won't be able to concentrate. But it will make you into
an academic martyr, so it's wonb
a shot.
2. Begging your dean foe extensions on your finals. This one
takes a really good excuse. Look
up some tropical disease and pre·
tend that you contracted It during
Thanksgiving vacation. You will
have to be mighty con•incing, and
if you get caught you could get in
a mess of trouble. so don't use this
method unless you're really desperate.
3. Transfer. Hey, it's always an
option, and Caieno•ia College
really won't care if you blew off
your finals this semester.
Good luck!

Obituary: Fred "Sonk" Smith
Fred .. Sonic Smith" was one of 1wo
guitarists for the late 60s/early 70s rock and
roll band the MC5. About a week before
the elections, the big sc.ary elections. he
died.
Or should I say he was killed. killed by
the CIA, or maybe the FBI. or some other
organization with ago•emmental acronym
instead of a real name. That is
what I intend to say and prove
- not with evidence. for had I
this evidence I would to be
dead too, but with an intent to
plant the seed, the seed ofconspiracy, the seed that is the
real rock and roll swindle, the
real life swindle the American
government perpetrates e•ery
time it takes the life of a rock
and roller that just might offer that second
of anaichistic release that might snap the
purse strings by which the paper tigers hold
us.
It is difficult to understand why they
waited so long, but maybe it' s son of a
Leon-Trotsky-dclayed-reaction,effect. You
know. it took a while to find him. Or maybe
it was Just Fred's tum; his name had come
up on the big computer in D.C. Maybe it
was toward the end of the month and the
bad guys had to fill the quota. Anyway, in
the words of Cunis Mayfield, "Freddie's
dead," and for the Republicans who swept
the nation in a landslide of contempt for
the other, and fear of the truth, it wasn't a

AIDS"Anyone can have AIDS ... It's not
exlusi•cly anything," he said.
Baker assened that the AIDS issue has
not only affccled the content of art, but
also "the very st)'le and perception" of an.
According to Baker, this can be conveyed
through graphic an, painting, photography.
SC11lpture, performance an, theater, film
and dance. He also used segmenlS from a
video documentary of the R,d, Hot, and
Bl11t benefit project foe AIDS to introduce
the role which an (in this case, music) has
played in inaeasing public awareness. The
project, which featured popular singers
recording cover versions of Cole Porter
songs, included a Yidcoofk.d. lang's yersion of "So In Love" in which she must
do the laundry of a patient liYing with
AIDS.
Baker said that an which has been af.
fecled by AIDS has ranged from political
posters to toilet paper sculptures to mainstream films such as Phl/atk/phia. However, he said,•A lot of tbe worlt done about
AIDS is angry." This includes all four approaches which IWtists make take: personal
testimony, the testimony of friends or family of Ihose Ii Ying with AIDS, observations
of an outsider, oe testimony by someone
who has AIDS but docs not publicly acknowledge it. Baker,
emphasized
the personal side of AIDS with his own
poetry about the loss of his companion of
nine years, and with se•eral slides of the
wo,k of painter and AIDS palienc Hugh
Steers.
The "high emotional conlent" ofSteers'
paintings, Baker said, diverge into two
types of paintings: those in which the subjects are lonely or alone and tboce which
deal with people wbo haYc someone to
care for them. His realistic style is demonstrated in painti~gs such as Hand, Kiss,
and Hospital lhd - all of which are currently featured in a show at the Richard
Anderson Gallery in New Yorlt Cit)' which
runs through December 3.
Baker contrasled the realism of Steers
with the surrealistic style of Frank Moore,
who is also li•ing with AIDS. Moore's
large paintings contain intricate framings,
as in Tht Grtat llmtrican Traveling Medicine Show's bluebird of happiness which
is placed at the top of the painting upside
down and dead. Funhennore, Baker said,
Freedom to Share contains a scene in
which "all the races, all the nations" are
sealed around a Thanksgi•ing table while
the platter is serving a meal of hypodermic needles.
Performance an was also featured in the
lecture. According to Baker, Hunter
Reynolds is a performance artist who
wears a dress stitched with the names of
people who baYc died from AIDS; be is
placed upon a platform or some other
prominent location and slowly rotates so
that the audience can read the names off
of his dress.
Baker is also a journalist and poet wbo
hails from Kentucky and has written for
Dane, Magavnt, The Chkago Tribwu,
and The N- Yort Daily N-s.

"Latin and Greek are not that scary ...
they have as DM1Ch depth and Yariet)' as any

admits that he is "a little bani" as a professor, but he said tba1 he believes that his
students like to work, and enjoy the challenge.
"I have a lot of respect for Colgaie SIU·

In addition to teaching at Colgate,

Green Bay
Don't squeeze the Juice!! Denis'

NEW ENGLAND (-21/2) vs.
N.Y. Jets
This is a tough one 10 call. This
game could come down to the
wire, wi1h two mediocre teams
battling for the last playoff ,,,01.
Without a running back like Blair
Thomas to hand the ball 10. Drew
Bledsoe better ice his shoulder
and be ready throw his arm ou1
of his socket with a triple-digit
attempt performance. If the Jets
have any sense whatsoever,
they'll opt for a nine defensive
back set. Forcing New England
to run the ball could cause a return trip to the hospital for Bill
Parcells. Denis' pick - Jets.
Todd's pick - Patriots.
TAMPA BAY (-2112) vs.
Washington
This is a meeting of two of the
worst first-round draft picks
we've ever seen. Where's Andre
Ware and Gino Toretta when we
need them. Let's face facts here.
Trent Dilfer and Heath Shuler
couldn't compete with Doug

only three teams assured of a

1he real juggernaut is in tbe NFC,
where l3ofthe 14 franchises are
s1ill eliJible for post season play.
Tbe Browns' and Steelers'

astounding. After former Super

tbe Bills, Jets and Patriots,
Buffalo's experience will help

Lynch reels that she owes the success or her transition
10 the suppon or her teammates. ''This team is by far the
most talented that Colgate has ever had," she said.
Lynch is a perfect example of that talent. She was named
to the Patri01 League All Star first team for the founh
time. She was named 10 the second team Regional AllAmerican in 1993 and first team AU-League 1991-1994.
She was the Patriot League Player or the Year in 1992.
None or these accolades have gone 10 her head, however. She stressed the imponance or a winning season
over ber personal achievements.
"We had set some goals as a team, one or which was to
secure an NCAA bid. We had a great season, but injuries
to key players cost us." She went on 10 say, "We were
proud to host the ECACs again, but we were very disappointed to end the i:eason with a loss."
Lynch felt that the close loss-to William & Mary, the
seventh ranked team in the nation, was a good example
of both the team's talent and determination. "We played
up to their level, I feel we really made a statement."
In addition 10 soccer, Lynch is an active member or
Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and had a non-speaking
role in the theaterprnduction or Marat-Sade. "I was more
beaten-up after that play tban arter any or my soccer
games; she said with a smile.
Lyoch wished to thank both the fans and the school on
bebalr or the team. "Wilhout the fantastic suppon 1ha1
they showed all year, the season couldn't have been as
sucessful."
One of the top student adlletes here at Colgate is sophomme Beisy Cunninghanl. Beuy excelled in cross-counuy this pastseasoa, finishing l1rst at Lehigh, placing tenth

Nuuer is a well deserving recipient of a scholar athlete
award. She has successfully combined a varsity spon,
academics and extra-curricular activities during her past
three and a hair years here at Colgate. Although she has
been kept busy all the way through, Nuner will certainly
walk away from Colgate wilh many valuable experiences
under her belt.
Nuttec said lhat it was her falher lhat originally encouraged her to get involved with volleyball. Playing sports
was oothing new 10 her, having been on the softball and
then track teams at her school. Volleyball did not initially
appeal to her, but Nuner gave it a try and eventually
wound up on the state team in Massachusens. The coaches
from lhat team helped her develop important skills that
have helped her become the player she is today.
Standing at only five reet seven inches tall, Nutter said
that she has had to rely more on strategy than skill.While
many players can use their height as an advantage, Nuuer
has had 10 look elsewhere.She has spent countless hours
at the gym perfecting ber strategy and foot speed. Nuuer
said this is what has helped ~r compensate for height
limitations. Love ror the game served as the inspiration
for this captain to keep going. She said that wilhout a
love for the game, it is tough to play at the college level.
Nutter's career has had its good and bad times. Though
upset that the team never won a championship while she
was playing, Nutter points 10 several moments when she

Many people might characterize junior Bobby Newman
as 1he quiet. shy type, Those people hnve never seen his
explosive style on the soccer field.
During his years of play in high school he garnered rec·
ognition as an all-section, all-conrerence and all-state
player. Throughout those years. he also competed on the
baseball and basketball teams. His love or soccer. how-
ever. led him to concentrate on it at Colgate. where he
relt he might be able to contribute the most.
Off the field Newman spends most or his time concentrating on his academics. A molecular biology major.
he recently recieved the Dean's Award. He hopes 10 continue his education after Colgate and go on to medical
school. In the future, Newman would like 10 see his soccer career continue. He ha.-, thoughts of playing profe.li·
sional soccer in either the United States or Europe.
The Colgate men's soccer team has certainly benefiucd
greatly by Newman's playing. His deadication and quiet
intesity has brought his play 10 an unparalleled level..
This season he put away nineteen goals and seven assists, mak.ing him nol only the leading scorer on the Col·
gate team, but also placing him at the top or the Patriot
League.
His offensive skills were proven 10 all when he shottered the records ror single-sea.son scoring, single-season assists, as well as over-all points. These
accomplishment led him to be twice named Patriot Player
or the week and 10 Soccer America's Team or the Week
twice. Other honors bestowed upon Newman for his excellent play this year include Most Valuable Player in the
Patriot League, and a place in the Under 23 National Team
Pool. This last accomplishment may lead to a benh on
lhe soccer team which will represent the United States in
the summer Olympics in 1997. These achievements have
come through hard work, perseverence and dedication 10
the team and the spon. Coach Mike Dobery states, "As a
player Bobby Newman is the best pure athlete I have
coached in my ten years at Colgate."
Dohery has great hopes for Newman and the team next
season. He believes that Newman will be-able 10 step up
his skills even more and fill in some or the spaces that
will be open by this years senior... Doherty believes
Newman will be extremely capable or handling greater
responsability as a senior, leading the team on and off
the field. ··
Next year Newman has lofty expectations for the
team. "Hopefully next season we will be able 10 build
upon this, and do even better, possibly secure an NCAA
bid."
