many students would want to Jive

arrival of registration cards and

The remaining nights of 1hc

1hough many changes were made
in the schedule outlined in the lit-

On Tuesday morning, an announcement was sent ou1 outlining new procedures for the

On Tuesday night, 60 rooms in

Vi.llage to Consider Master Plan Recommendations for Downtown
-"°"'-""'
been discussed.
Balcer said that a meeting will
be held soon to evaluate and prioritize the proposed changes.
Zonlna Is First Step
The first step in implementing
the plan however, will be changes
in the zoning laws. Tom
Niederkorn, who was contracted
to develop the Masrer Plan for
Hamilton, agrees that zoning
changes should assume priority
because they are fundamental to
futwe business location and cost
nothing to implemenl He said
that the current zoning scheme
"[is) used to prevent development, and that is not its proper
use."
Current zoning laws and their
enforcement have been criticized
by members of the community as
well.
Norm VonWettburg, a local
builder and Colgate alum. feels
that the village is currently misinterpreting zoning codes to the
detriment of business. As a palt·
ner in the Off Campus Deli, he
has run into problems with the
village being "very discriminating in their criteria" concerning
building improvements. He is
currently investigating a lawsuit
against the village disputing its
zoning interpretations.
Another area cited by both
Balter and the Master Plan as
needing improvement is the over-
all appearance of the downtown
area. While Baker was skeptical
about the chances for any capital
fund for business improvements,
he did say that negotiations are
underway to conven some unused building space into parking.
Futwe landscaping is also be·
ing considered.
"You Just Don't Get a HelpIna Hand''
Tantamount to physical and
code changes is communication
between the village and businesses.
The Master Plan emphasizes
the need for a liaison between the
downtown business association
(now a pan of the southern Madi·
son county chamber of commerce), and the Village offices to
coordinate business and governments' needs.
As adopted, the plan calls for
"Strong suppon ofexisting business and industry, and continued
effons to work positively with
providers of higher education ...
as an appropriate and effective
way to maintain a sound eco·
nomic mix and a stable local
economy."
The plan also calls for the development of working groups to
identify future industries that
might locate in the area, and to
"maintain regular contact with
existing business and industry to
identify needs and problems as
they arise."
Currently this communica·
tions link is thin to non~xistent.
According to Paul Lehman ,
owner of Bull Thistle Toys, the
village has made no effort to help
him along in the crucial first year
and a half of operation.
"You just don't get a helping
band from any direction," he said.
"Simple things like a ribbon-cut·
ting ceremony for new businesses
would show [village) suppon."
Lehman was only marginally
aware of the Master Plan~ existence, and was skeptical that other
local merchant$ were cognizant
ofits contents. VooWettburg also
was unaware of itS status and expressed doubt that its approval
would have any real impact.
Farmers' Market Promising
The weelcly farmers' market
held on the village green is one
example of the need for coordination among business, village
and University leaders. President
Neil Grabois and the Mayor are
interested is seeing the market
become a fixture in the village
that will draw outside consumers
to Hamilton.
However, reaction in the com-.
mcrcial sector is mixed. While
the market brings in business for
some, others say it demonstrates
village bias.
"They allow people to do at
the farmers market what they
won't let their merchants do,"
VonWettburg said of the restric-

Senate Constitution Ammendments Proposed:
\

In an effort to enhance the
prestige of the Studen1 Senate, a
committee of members has introduced a plan 10 make severJl new
amendmen1s to the Scudent Association (SA) Cons1i1u1ion.
Proposed amendments address c1uestions of membership
and methods of making the Senare a more producti ve body. One
important c ha nge involves decreasing the number of sena1ors
in an effon to promo1e pride in
the position.
This change recommends
moving from one senator for every fifty rcsidcn1s in a res identiaJ
unit to only one senator from each
reside ntial unit. special in1cres1
house (including 118 Broad St
and Cushman House) and from
each Greek-leuer house. In addi1ion, ten at-large seats will be

who pay their SA fees).
In explaining 1he moti ves be·

1heydon' 1 have 1ocome. We figured that mak.i ng ii smaller and
making members more respon-
sible to a larger constituency
would make them more account•
able and increase the imponance
of the role of senator," he said.
Although Vana and others see
the amendment as a positive step,
the issue has generated some debate. Senators in the Bryan and
Cunen complexes have voiced
concern. because the amendment
implies that people from the
smaller houses in those com-
plexes will be unable to run for
office.
However, Vana feels the creation of the at-large seats will
serve as incenti ve 10 those who
wish to remain involved.
The people in Bryan have a
legiti mate point, but we've made
it up 10 them through the at-large
positions. If they're angry, they,
or anyone on campus. has the
c hance 10 run for those posi1ions," Vana said.
In addition, members have
proposed changes in the anendance policy at Se nate meetings.
In the past, senators were aJlowed
three unexcused absences, with a
fourth absence resulting in expuls ion from the Senate. As stipulated by the new c.hange, senators
w il l be allowed only one
unexcused absence.
--w e want people 10 want 10

1ion as a burden." said S .A. Representa tive Dan Kully.
In the past, Senate commiuees
were granted a cenain degree of
autonomy in their meetings. Be-

cuses on the process of elections.
In the past, elections were conducted in the dorms by RAs.
However, with the new amendments, all elections will be
handled by the SA Executive
Board, which include the SA
Preside nt and Vice-President.
Such a change is essential, said
Vana. He feels the Executive
Board will be able 10 explain and
regulate procedure bener than
RAs. With the passage of the
amendment, all Senate elections
will be held in living units and
monitored by 1he Executive
Board.
According 10 Kully, the Sen-
ate is "not rewriting the Consli•
tution,just ame.nding it to clarify
the language and show that we
want the Senate 10 be something
productive."
Ahhough no
specific date has been set for the
rati flcation of the amended Con-
stitution, the Senate will continue
debate on April 12.

inform fellow senators about their

" The acco untability of the

The Colgme fac ulty rejected two proposed amendments which
would have provided students with more representation in the governance system. The rejec1ed amendments included a class which
could provide full voting rights 10 students on the General Education (GNED) com mi nee. and one which would have raised the number of student representatives on the Academic Affairs Boord lo
equal the number of faculty members.

claimed.
Once the decision was made
10 close Bohon house, the Residential Life Office considered
moving Asia house 10 the Class
of 1934 House, according 10
Swartwout. The Class of 1934
House is smaller than 84 Broad

said.
"There is a miscommunica•

Thao said that there was no
exchange between Swartwout
and the students living in Asia
House.
"They just told us lo worry
about filling the house ... we assumed we'd stay [in the same
house) because Ibey never got

"'Ibey say that Ibey are acting

questions about cenain aspects of

raised. This aspect, according to

Murphy was more than self-serving for one that bad just
presided over the meting out of the school's most
draconian judgment only to have herself reversed within
a day.
Equally as imponant, the journalistic standards or your
newspaper are called into serious question by this article.
If University policy problbits comment, how did you learn
of the expulsion? If you knew of the expulsion, how could
you not know of its reversal? 1be only source cited is
one "close to the victim" which, clearly in reuospect, must
be the man. Would good journalistic practice not require
confirming that story with the assailant, especially for a
sensationalis~ front page article? Would it not be apparent that referral of a felony charge to the Bureau of Criminal Investigation was "pressing formal charges"?
ln short, this very poorly conceived article was either
transparently biased and malevolent in intent or so unprofessional as to be beyond belief. You owe your readers an apology, a statement of your standards on
journalistic integrity and an explanation for the circumstances underlying the publication of this article.
Rosh Hashanah, Yorn Kippur, Passover. Good Friday and
Easter. Quizzes or exams should not be scheduled and
papers (in courses) should not become due, on any of
these holidays, or on the next class session falling after
any of these holidays." In a letter to all faculty. dated
August 19, 1993, University Chaplain Nancy De Vries
quoted this text and stated the specific dates of these Holy
days, adding the need to be aware of the February 12 March 14 observance of Ramadan.
Some faculty were flexible and willing to rearrange
schedules. However, why was that necessary? Students
bad exams from philosophy, music, geology and more,
thus it appears to be an institutional lack of sensi1ivi1y
that needs to be addressed.
As calendars are being prepared for the 1994-1995, I
ask faculty to be aware of these dates. When the time
arrives, I will do what I can 10 remind s1uden1s what procedures to follow to be officially excused to observe Holy
days.

lo the midst of the fiasco that was this
week's housing selection process, another
series of iocidents implicating the Office
of Residential Life in disregarding the
rights of students went uoooticed.
Through its baodling of the low number of applications for both Bolton and
Asia special interest houses, the office bas
ooce again demoostrared its lack of professionalism, poor leadership skills and
faulty judgment.
Obviously, Donna Swartwout and staff
have the audiority to make decisions regarding housing at Colgate; that is what
they were hued for and that is what we
pay them for. If issues are reseMcbed and
bandied in a professional manner, most
students, despite their grumbling, will respect the decisions handed down. Yes,
most people at Colgate realiu that they
cannot always gel everything they want.
However, as with the buy back plan and
"cooperative" housing selection, the handling of events resulting from low numbers of interest house applications is 001
wonhy of tolerance, much less respect.
Only two individuals applied to live in
Bolton house for next year. The office
deemed the house should close, the only
logical choice. (However, Bolton residents
claim they were not given sufficient no,.
tice to make an effort to save their house.)
Next, considering the low turnout for Asia
house (seven students), the office made the
decision to move that interest group to the
vacated Class of 1934 House, a more appropriate facility. This decision in itself is
rational, but the unprofessional manner in
which it was carried out undermined all
good intentions. Instead of informing all
next year's applicants for Asia house immediately, the office let the issue escape
the confines of the staff. Asia residents
were notified by an outside source that
their house was being moved. Understandably, the residents rebelled, and Swartwout
conceded. However, in the meantime, miscommunication Jed members of Kappa

america Is Ready For An Honest President
By ~lsten Goussous
Since the Cold War, counlries throughout tbe world have looked. to the United
Stales for guidance in leadership. Rightfully so, the U.S. is asucoessful and powerful nation. However, when it comes
down to it, the U.S. has not truly been fortunate when it comes 10 b~ving a good,
solid leader, on whom its ci1iuns can depend.
First, we musl define the qualities of
"good" leadership. In order 10 rule effectively, a president must be an honest and
decent person. II is in these areas of character 1ha1 United S1a1es presidents have
been lacking.
From Judging 1be past 20 years, the
United States has not had a successful
track record. Take Watergate, for instance.
President Nixon's cohorts were caught
stealing tapes from the Democratic party
headquarters. Bui, ii was rather unsettling
to the country when Nixon resigned prior
10 his impending impeachment. If he was
innocent, then why did he resign so
quickly? Watergate was a major embarrassment to the Nixon administration, and
continues 10 be the one thing about his
presidency tbat stands ou1 in people's
minds. Dishonesty is certainly not something that a former president wants to remembered for.
Fifteen years later, the executive branch
was again embroiled in a controversy leading its citiuos 10 question the charac1er
of its presidenls. The Reagan/Bush Era
was plagued by rumors su1Tounding their
iovolvemenl in the Iran Contra Affair. Senior officials accused Reagan and Bush of
knowing that the U.S. was selling weapons 10 Iran, and then using the profits to
provide military aid to 1he CootraS; a direct violation of the Boland Amendment.
Both presidents denied any pri9r knowledge of these transactions. Tbe,refore, ii
comes down 10 one man's word againsl
another's. No one knows who Is !ying. All
we can do is question the credibility of the
men involved.

Now, after twelve years of Republican
rule, voters were promised a flesh Start
ooce Bill Clinton entered office.-Granred,
Clinton has worked 10 make many sweeping reforms in the U.S., such as national
bealth care reform and homosexual rights
in the military.
Clin1on's character bas always been
somewhat questionable. First, there were
rumors of bis extramarital affairs. Then,
some of Ointon's enemies came forth with
evidence that be had broken the law by
smoking marijuana while at Oxford.
Ointon admitred to having smoked marijuana, but he claimed be had not broken
U.S. law, because he bad used the drug
outside the country. Finally, to add further
damage to bis credibilty as a president,
aoolher rumor eme,ged regarding bis involvemen1 with the Vieuwn Ww. As usual,

Clinton was not exaclly candid in his response. Whal voters mus1 keep in mind
when judging him are not 1he vicious rumOrs which haunt him, but how he responds 10 them. His answers lalk around
the subject rather lhao getting slriaght to
the point
Once those rumors died down, new rurilors about illegal financial doings while
he was governor of Arkansas began to surface. Whitewater bas shaken the White
House. Clinton has changed his account
of the amounl oflosses that he and his wife

releasing his tax returns, he would put
some issues to rest. Yet a new issue is
raised: if his statements are true. then why
didn't he release the documents sooner?
Once again, U.S. citizens must face some
discouraging fac1s about their 0 trusted"
leader.
This may be idealistic, but it is time that
the United States elec1ed an honest, decenl person 10 the presidency. Finding this
person will not be an easy task for vorers
because it appears that all politicians have

some "skele1ons in 1heir close1s." Despite

through 1979, the returns support his fi.

leader, and once again the U.S. will shine
as a model of leadership.
Konosioni: Preserving and Creating
Colgate Traditions
By Chang Hyen Suh
Traditions are often made and forgotten afler a period of time, but when preserved, they serve as the umbilical link
between tlie past and present and also as
the kernel from which sprout new traditions. On April 19, 26 juniors will be led
by 29 seniors in a torchlight procession
around Taylor Lake as part of an induction ceremony for the newly chosen members of Konosioni Senior Honor Society the student organization which is dedicated
to the specific task of preserving and creating Colgate traditions.
Derived from the Indian name for "the
House of Council," Konosioni came into
existence in the spring of 1934 from the
welding of two separate senior honorary
societies: Skull and Scroll and Gorgon~
HtOll. Its purpose was to "honor outstand·
ing seniors by admission to membership
and to inspire undergraduates to act in a
way that will main1ain high ideals,
achievemenl, progress and fellowship on
the Colgate campus." Over the years,
Konosioni has main1aioed a weak but
steady pulse; it bas seen its periods of dormancy as well as those of thriving activily. With the help and dedicalion of staff
members such as Marni Terhune and under the guidance of its new advisors,
Konosioni is beginning to show signs of
life ooce again.
Dedicated to community service and
the preservalion of Colgate traditions,
Konosioni is also committed to lhe founding of new traditions. 1•What traditions,"
you ask? In the 1930s, there were all sorts
of traditions, especially regarding firstyears. For example, when freshmen did
001 know lhe words to lhe school song or
negleeted to wear their beanies, Konosioni
members were cba,ged with subjecting
them to paddlings. Of course, we no
longer have such traditionsi we don't even
know what beanies are, for that matter.
However, today's Konosioni members are
responsible for coordinating 1he First-year
Field Day, organizing blood drives. volunteering at rhe soup kjtchen, recognizing
undergraduares through monthly citations
and organizing Winterfest celebro1ions
(among other things).
Once considered ''the final rung in 1he
ladder ofextracurricular success·· (Maroon
'47) and hailed as "the highest token of
esteem tha1 can be paid in undergraduate
life at Colgate," Konosioni seems 10 be reestablishing itself as the keeper of tradi1ions at Colgate. The society's members
of '94 have chosen 26 out of nearly 200
appl icants as its successors for the
Konosioni of '95. Unlike the strict merit
system of old, these members were chosen primarily for their outstanding charac1er renected in 1heir services 10 1he
community, Jeadership on campus and
academic distinguishment. Perhaps, '10W
that Ko nosioni has firmly rooted itself
once more, it can help address some of the
more neglected issues on campus, such as
the severed ties between the Colgate community and the Hamilton townspeople or
the much-tarnished image of Colgate's
Spring Party Weekend. These are no
miniscule hurdles for the new initiates of
Konosioni '95; however, I believe
Konosioni was created by our predecessors for studen1s to tackle great issues and
lhereby uphold certain values and ideals
founded from Colgate's earliest beginflin~s.

More Privacy Needed on E-Mail Accounts
By Bari Bran.Jes
destroy those files (see Bruce Sterling. The
Hacker Crackdown).
I found the atticle "E-Mail Files Erased
by User Services" to be very dis1urbing.
Although I undersmnd the Computer Center administration frustration of the
Bug.Com, I think the action taken in response raises some very tricky issues.
First. the minutiae. While the quole
from the director. Jeanne Kellogg. stresses
that the me.'is.ages were "annoying/harassing," she never really describes the extent
or the harassment. There is a big difference between annoying and harassing.
Harassmem requires stem Universi1y action. Annoying requires ignoring the perpcmuor. Oid the messages really liara.ss

because or the power the cry ''harassment"
now yields.
But what I really want to do is 10 get at
1he hean or the issues here. 11 is a speech
is.sue. It is a privacy issue. It is a Bill of
Rights issue. II is a national issue. Kellogg
suucd 1ha1 the prac1icc of "sending mes-
sages under false names" was "deemed
inappropriate." To some. one of the beneficial qualities o f electronic communications is thtll ii offers the user a deg.rec of
anonymity. Mos1people on bulletin board
systems (free and foe-based) go by names
other than their own. using pseudonyms
and made-up names. I myself have used
several different nom de pfomes. The government has persecuted crackers with
names like "Acid Phreak" and "Phiber
Oprik ." People on the Internet are not
known by their names, bu1 by what the-y
say and do.
What really bothers, me though, is the
action 1hat was taken: sta.Jfwtnt imo studtnts' e~Mail accounts and dt ltttd their
files. If I went into anyone's e-Mail and
deleted a file, or if I even opened someone else's mail and looked at it, I would
be in violation ofa federal law. So, why is
the University allowed todo this? Actions
such as this should be in violation of the
Founh Amendment. as user services did

APRD.,8,1994
This also leads me 10 wonder. I use the
campuse-Mail and my files can be read. If
I send a letter to a friend through campus
mail signed "Mickey Mouse," will they
read that and take away my Mickey Mouse
stamp? And if I talk on a phone line provided by Colgate, can they listen in on my
conversations?
Of course not.
I think.
The Computer Center administrators
can claim that they signed an agreement.
And they did. We all did. Signing an agreement does not mean that the agreement is
right. What 01her op1ion do most Colgate
students have? Do we have 10 sign such an
agreement for the use of Colgate mailboxes? For ACC connections? There is a
policy statement. which can be found in the
Colgate Handbook and on the local gopher.
The statement cautions against "harassment
or intimidation" and against "deletion or
altcra1ion or system files or accounts belonging to other users" (page 44). The
agreement stares 1hat 1he undersigned
"agree(s) no1 10 use Colgate's computer
systems , . . in any way which harasses olher
users, deliberately diminishes or interferes
with the normal use or those sys1ems by
others." All of which is conveniently undefined and could be interpreted in many
ways.
I am not directly blaming Colgate. I
think that the policy is one I would expect
Colgate to have. In fact. many universities
have similar policies. Most people at Colgate do 001 realize that their e-Mail is not
completely private. They are surprised
when I inform them that the system operators can read their files. As the computer
becomes more and more imponant. such
policies must evolve. Currently, the Computer Center's administration views access
to the Internet (and e-Mail accounts) as a
privilege, not a right. I would be hardpressed to agree. This is especially so, considering that the computer is now necessary
in the daily running of our country. And as
the heads or our government are planning
toward the "information super-highway,"
with access for all, I think that access will
be a right.

Alexander Fraser

Sarah E. Burke
,.,.,....N,.. S,aJf
Junior Alexander Fraser is an outstanding individual who has achieved
notable success in athletics, academics and extracurricular activities.
As Commissioner of intramural
spons, Fraser organii.es games, leamS
and the careful selection or officials.
Though a two year member of the varsity swim team, Alexander is still able
to find time to run the intramural program. He says this is due 10 his appreciation for its importance to the
community. JntramuraJs ''give those
people who cannot, or choose not to
compete on the varsity level at a Division One school the opportunity to
maintain pankipation in competitive
engagements," said Alexander.
Alexander's participation in the
c-ommunity neither ends with athletics nor at the campus boundaries. Another activity to which he dedicates
time and attention is the Big Brother/
Big Sister program. His interest in the
program sprang from his father's participation and appreciation for it. Interestingly, Alexander's godfather was
formerly his father's 0 1i1tle brother."
Because of the positive impact the
program had on bis godfather's life
and his admiration for him, Alexander
was always determined to have a
"little brother" of his own.
As a member of Sigma Chi,
Alexander has served as both tteasurer
and scholarship chair. He finds the
Greek-letter system to be a "useful
establishment at a place like Colgate."
A Latin American studies major,
Alexander spent last semester studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. He found
the trip to be both a "welcomed break
from the cold monotony of Colgate"
as well as an "invaluable opportunity."
Fraser bas a sincere love for travel,
which has contributed 10 his desire to
work in international business after
graduating from Colgate next year.
In addition to the successes
Alexander has found in athletics and
community service at Colgate, he has
been recognized for his academic
achievements. He was recently honored with the prestigious Dana Scholar
Award, a recognition of outstanding
grade point average and participation
in co-curricular activities. Additionally, Alexander was recently selected
to become a member of Konosioni, the
senior honor society on campus.

Fire Bath Death Thwarted in Indian Art
By Rachel Sehlfter
Maroot1•Nnv1 Staff
On April 6, the An and An History Visiting Lecturer Series presented Ann G.
Gold in the Ryan rehearsal room. The lec-
ture was titled "From Demon Aunt to Gorgeous Bride: Portraits of Female Power in
the Indian Festival Cycle."
Gold earned her degrees in anthropology from the University of Chicago and is

currently teaching at Syracuse University
in the religion department. She has taught
at Colgate as a visiting insttuc1or in the
department of sociology-anthropology.
Usttn to the Heron'slVortls is Gold's
third and most recently published
book, on which she based her lecture. The book and the lecture fo.
cus on art through an
anthropologic.al perspective. The
art shown in slides specifically related to four North Indian festivals.
The discussion of women in relation to
the art exposed the strong dichotomy in
the portrayal of women in Indian art. One
painting depicted a woman adorned with
bloody heads and blood dripping out of
her mouth stepping on her husband. Another painting showed a woman sitting on
a lily pad, surrounded with pink and white
nowers.
The dichotomy is also apparent in the
four festivals discussed, all named after
Indian goddesses. One of these festivals,
Holi, may soon be celebrated at Colgate.
Holi celebrates the story of a king's sis·
ter, Holi, who 1ried to kill her nephew by
puuing him in a fire bath . The nephew
lived and Holi perished instead. Holi is
now seen as an evil goddess. The ritual ussociated with this restival involves
burning a tree down to its stump.
The stump symbolizes the survival
of Holi"s nephew.
In contmst with this festival. the
festival of Gangaur celebrates a
goddess who is more fair and kind.
During Gangaur, which is only celebrated by the highes, three castes in In·
dia, the young girls of a village enact a
marriage celebration. The girls pray 10
Gangaur in the hope that they may be married soon.
Gold stressed throughout the lecture
that although women have been ponrayed
through dichotomies. they are now trying
to promote the belief that they have more
internal unhy. Gold explains that even
though all the festivals have different reasons, they all have the common themes of
"beauty, birth and all kinds of love."

De Jongh (Re)lmagines Slavery
By Sandi H-_merleln
Maroon-News Staff
The Colgate depanmeot ofAfrican and
Latin American studies sponsored a lecture by Dr. James L. de Jongh. professor
of English at the City University of New
York (CUNY), in the Cultural Center
Wednesday titled "(Re)lmagining Slavery
in 1\ventietb Century African American
Literature."
De Jongh's SO.minute lectwe focused
on the reconstitution of slavery in modem
African American literature. According to
de Jongh, slavery has achieved a "new cen·
trality" and has become a "defining theme"
of modem African American literacure

since the civil rights movement of the
I960'• and especially in the last ten years.
More importantly, be said, it bas ''become
acceptable for black writers to imagine sla·
very in their own terms." de Jongb said.
The
implications
of
this
rebistoricization of slavery include a dra·
matic change in the modem view of sla·
very; instead of being seen as a "legacy of
shame," slavery has become an "empow·
ering cultural endowment" in twentieth
century African American literature. This,
de Jongh said, ends the "history of evasion" which was epitomized in the "stud·
ied silence" on the topic of slavery in such
historical documents as the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution. De
Joogb also noted two "paradoxical hen·
efits" of "reimagining" slavery in modem
litenry worts: the realization that literary
art is determined by the "artistry of the
individual's imagination" rather than a
simple retelling of history, and the reemergence of slavery's historical significance
in today's society.
This moveme,,t contrasts with the pe·
riod between emancipation and the civil
rights movement, de Jongh said, in which
slavery was an irnponant undercurrent i.n
literature - writers bad to explore the ef.
feclS if slavery 0 between the Hoes!'
In his lecture, de Jongh closely an&·
lyud three moderm literary works that
exemplify the concept of "reimagining"
slavery: David Bradley' s 1981 novel The
Chaneysvil/e Incident, Toni Morrison's
1987 novel Beloved and Charles Johnson's
1990 novel Middle Passage. Each of these
novels, de Jongb said. are «stories about
stories." Their narrators make similar
s tatements on the nature of memory and
assen the "lingering presence of the past."
According to de Jongb, their literary consciousness is closely related to prior tales
or texts and in fact "invite discussion" on
these prior texts. For example, the main
character in Bradley's Tht Chaneysvi/lt
Incident, John Washington, parallels the
character of John in The Souls of Black
Folk by W.E.B. DuBois. De Jongh also
pointed out parallels with Frederick
Douglass, William Faulkner and Herman
Melville.
Although these three works are the
"most distinguished" among modem Af·
rican American narratives, de Jongb said
that Bradley' s novel "is the one I'm re- .
ally pushing" because it "makes the other '
two possible." DeJongh also said that The
Chaneysvl/lt lnclden1 is' the least well·
known out of the three, even though Bra·
dley is famous for bis other
accomplishments, including being one of
the screenwriters of Spike Lee's film,
Ma/colmX.
In addition to his role as professor of
English and chair of the faculty senate at
CUNY, de Joogb has also written several
pieces of literature himself, including the
dramatic work Play 10 Win.

sophomore, I became the Corresponding Secretary for the Executive Board. This
spring I am a Communications Director for the Executive Board, as well as a
member of the Student-Faculty Relations Committee, and the Student Union Ad·
visory Board. Each year I have learned more about student needs and how to
cffcc.tivcly run tht Student Association. This invaluable experience and determi·
nation to make Colgate the best it can be for YOU qualify me as the best candidate for President.
•
My Community Building Platfonn will make Colgate the best it can be by
improving the Senate-~keeping students aware of campus issues, consistently soliciting your opinions, and expanding and solidifying communication between
students, faculty, and administration. A vole for Sue Vitale is a vole for yourself.
Gregory B. Williams
"What is there to do around herer' and "What does SA do?," are much too
common questions that I have heard at Colgate. And often the responses arc
"then do something about it," and "I don't know. Nothing." The only problem
with !he first answer is that it is related to the second question. Many students
feel that SA really doesn't do much for students, and other, don't know how to
gel involved. For SA to be effective it has to make its presence known and available for all students, especially those not in an SA organization. One imponant
question that we should all think about is, what are the boxes that state "suggestions" for'/

Jason M. Corrlgan
I believe that the SIUdent Association is the greatest humlln resource Colgllte
has to offer. By bringing together students from different SA organizations, I feel
lhat the SA can help 10 foster a greater sense of community which I feel is c ur.
rently lacking on campus. I believe that my leadership in other organizations on
campus has prepared me to be an effective leader within the Stuclenl Associution.
I also believe that since I have not had d irect involvement in 1hc running of the
SA, that I can bring a wealth of new ideas. The four years we have at Colgate ,ire
shon ones and I would like to see a greater sense of community to evolve nround
a stronger school spirit, which I believe the SA can become the focal point of.
Shawn MacGregor
Many students on this campus have no idea what the Student Association and
the Student Senate do. Other students consider the Student Senate a big w:iste or
time because they feel that it never gets anything accomplished. Anyone elected
Student Association Vice-President will have to deal with both or those criti-
cisms.
It is time for the Student Association 10 educate students about whul is going
on behind the scenes and what issues are under discu~sion on this campus. \Vhen
students arc not aware of chc issues, the Student Senate cunnot credibly cluirn to
be speaking for students. If elected I will do what is nece..sary to seek out student
opinion. I will go to the students, instead of sitting in the Student Association
office waiting for them to come to me. As a former Student Association Vice·
President, I understand the current system and its faults. I am prepared 10 cha11ge
the system if that will better the student body.
For more information about the candidates, come to the Candidates Debate during the next Senate Meeting,
Tuesday, Aprll 5 at 7:15 in the Clark Room, which is located in the Sludent Union.

Magic Johnson has returned a
winning auitude to the Los An·
geles Lakers. Since taking over
as head coach, the Lakers are 5-1
and trail the Denver Nuggets by
21n games for the last playoff
position in the NBA's Western
Conference.
As far as bringing out the the
best in his players, Magic has
been effective. Last week, rookie
Nick Van Exel scored 3 1 points,
the most scored by a Laker since
Maiic retired. On Wednesday
night, after receiving his first
technical as a coac.h, and being
ejected from the game, Magic's
Lalcers came back to beat the Sac-
ramento Kings in ovcnime.
Hot Starts
The weather may still seem
like winter, but baseball is back.
A number of players started the
season as hot as a July day.
The season kicked off in
Cincinatti with a lead-off home
run by St. Louis outfielder Ray
Lankford. In Chicago, rookie
Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes started bis
major league career with three
home runs against the Mets. In
Boston, veteran Andre Dawson in
two games bas gone 4 for 8 with
three doubles and a borne run.
And in New York., Wade Boggs
has had eight bits in nine at bats
to lead the Yankees to a 2-0 start.
The Blue Jays seem like they
have found a new star in Carlos
Delgado. He is starting as a
rookie for tbe defending champs
in leftfield and bas been spectacu-
tar at the plate. In his first game
in the Majors, he bit a 428-foot
home run off the window of the
Hard Rock Cafe. Then Tuesday,
he hit a 445-foot home run off the
window of another restaurant lo-cated in Toronto's Skydome. If
Delgado's at bat and you're eat-
ing, beware.
An Angry Marlo
On Monday night, Pittsburgh
Penguin star center Mario
Lemieux lost his cool. After being sent to the penalty box for
roughing, Lemieux threw his
stick onto the ice in protest. Referee Kerry Fraser did not appreciate this behavior, and gave
Lemieux a ten minute miscon~
duct penalty. Lemieux immediately charged out onto the ice
after Fraser, but was stopped by
his teammates before things got
ugly. Lemieux was tben ejected
from the game and received the
maximum NHL fine of $500.
Many people have questioned
the NHL's action concerning this
incident $500 is practically nothing considering Lemieux makes
over $3 million a year. Further,
Lemieux did not receive any SUS·
pension. Obviously, this was a
touchy situation, considering
Lemieux has become outspoken
about tbe things he doesn't like
in the NHL, mainly that other
players intentionally rough
Lemieux up to irritate bis back
injury and receive no fines.
Lemieux also announced this
week that he will no longer do
any son of promotional work for
the NHL.
Darryl
After missing for over 24
hours, Los Angeles Dodgers
leftfielder Darryl Strawberry suddenly reemerged with bad news.
He returned to the Dodgers to
announce he had a substance
abuse problem and was being
admitted to a rehabi.litation center. The news shocked many
people, as it was generally
thought Strawberry was prepared
to have a stron1 year.
The Dodgers though have not
missed a step since losing Strawberry. His replacement in
leftfield, Henry Rodriguez, had a
superb first two games with the
Dodgers. On Tuesday, Rodriguez
had two hits and a walk that led
to him scoring the winning run
in a 3-2 victory over the Aorida
Marlins. On Wednesday, he did
more damage to the Marlins, with
two home runs in a 4-3 win.

Feat of the Week
This week was filled with two areat aporting events - the NCAA bas-
b:tball cblmpiOGlhipo and bueball's openil>& day. The Arkansas Razorbocbwon the the NCAA cblmpioruhip in agn,at game against Duke.
We give loads of respect to Nolan Ricbardsoo, hoMver, a "luff" major
te.goe rookie but him out for lhis woek's honor. The Colgate MaroonNews National Sports Feat of the Week is awu,led to Kart "Tuffy"
Rhodes:
Opening Day:Tbree at bats, three HRs
What a way to SWt a rookie season. Rhodes amazinaly led off the game
wilh a home nm (nearly aiving HMry Carey a heart attack), and then
followed with two more round trippers in his nexl cwo at bats. Unfortu·
na1ely Rhodes offensive effort wasn'l enough to beat the Mets, who
alao had their fair slwe of homers. Congratulations ''Tuffy'' Rhodes.
Rangers have a solid middle of
the batting order. The problem
falls at the top and bottom of the
lineup, where such household
names as David Hulse, Chris
James and Doug Strange will
come to bat for the Rangers. Another problem for Texas is pitching, where ace Kevin Brown and
closer Tom Henke are the only
sure things. Even with these numerous flaws, the Rangers should
hang on to win the West.
The Seattle Mariners have
bad exactly two winning seasons
in their 17-year history. However,
with a rotation of Randy Johnson,
Chris Bosio, Dave Aeming and
newcomer Gteg Hibbard, Seattle
appears ready to contend for the
division title. Ken Griffey Jr. is
the best player around next to
Barry Bonds, and he will win the
Triple Crown within the next
three years.
The key for the Mariners will
be having tbeir two first batters,
Rich Amaral and Edgar Martinez,
get on base for Griffey Jr., Jay
Bubner (27HR, 98 RBI) and Eric
Anthony, who could really come
into bis own this season. One aspect that the Mariners will probably not have to worry about is
fielding, though they did lose
Gold Glove winner Omar
Vizquel. With only 90 errors, Seattle was tbe best defensive team
in tbeAL.
The Oakland Athletics were
one of three clubs that went from
at least 90 victories in '92 to 90
or more losses in '93. The Athletics are rebuilding nicely and
this season should be a step in the
right direction. TbeA's bave three
potential pitching stars in Todd
Van Poppel, Steve Karsay and
Miguel Jimenez. Don ' t be
shocked if first basemen Mark
McGwire has a monster year,
though that will depend on the
people batting in front and directly behind him. And the A's
look forward to 35 year-old
Rickey Henderson patrolling the
outfield in bis third stint with
Oalcland.
Once again, the Callrornla
Angels appear to be headed for
the cellar of the AL West. A lack
of power, the absence or a legitimate closer, and no depth in their
starting rotation will kill the Angels throughout the season. In a
perfect example or how the Angels have wasted millions of dollars over the past five years, lefty
Joe Magrane, who has been
plagued with arm troubles
throughout the last three years,
will make $3.5 million. Though
Chad Curtis, Damion Easley, Tim
Salmon and J.T. Snow all provide
promise for the future, it will be
at least two years before the Angels will contend again.

Nothing Compares to the Big Dance
By Dan McLean
MIUO(),l ,Net1t'I Stal[
The NCAA Toumamen1 ended
last week wi1h Arkansas' 76-72
win over Duke. The NCAA playoff formal, compared 10 1he
NBA's conservative style, is
uniquely original and exciling,
but which is better?
The fact that one tournament
is professional and the other amateur really shouldn' t mauerwhen
trying to find the best playoff system.
On a fundamental level, the
NCAA calls for 64 teams to play
in a ..winner take all" six round
tournament. On the other hand,
the NBA admits 16 teams to play
in a four round "best of' series.
The initial round is the only best
of five series, leaving the remaining three rounds as a best of seven
formal.
Eacb design has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Fmt. the manner in whicb teams
are selected differ peatly. The
NBA, sending the top eight teams
in each conference to the playoffs, makes the divisions in the
conferences relatively uni~rtant.
The NCAA, on the other band,
bas a strange system of "automatic bids" and "at-large bids".
Thirty of the 64 births are given
to teams who have woo their coofeieoce or a conference touma·
ment. Tbe Patriot League, for
ins tance, falls into 1he "automatic" grouping. The remaining
an 01herwise prcdictnble out·
come.
34 spo1s are awarded 10 teams
that have been approved by the
Tournament Commi11ee. Typically, 1he criteria for placemeni
is dependent upon winning percentage and schedule s1rcng1h.
The NBA fonnat seems to lose
its thrill and spon1anei1y when
every round is dic1a1ed by a multiple game series. Upse1s become
NBA advoca1cs respond, 1ha1
very difficuh and, in fact, impos·
sible for reams 10 achieve. During the 1992-93 playoffs, the
eighth seed Lakers won the first
two games of a five game series
against 1he number one seed
Phoenix.
Fans around the country were
thrilled, until they remembered
they were watching NBA playoffs. Given so many chances to
win, Phoenix was able to get their
act to together and win 1be last
three games to win the series 32. Sure, in a five or seven game
series the best team will advance,
but is that exciting?
Back the NCAA. Having six
rounds of one do or die game
gives underdogs a chance 10 advance. Look at Boston College.
In the second round they knocked
off a team many thought would
win the tournament. Following
their loss, undoubtedly, UNC
now wishes the NBA fonnat was
used in college. Having teams
like BC in the later stages of the
tournament adds some spice into
without a multiple game sel:t.> !i
format the winner of the tourna·
mcnt is not necessarily the best
team. Why on e arth would you
want excitemenl when you can
e nsure tha 1the bcs1team win? If
you j ust want the best teams 10
win. why e ven invite 1he other 60
teams'? Jus1 s1an off with final
four and have 1he number one
seeds baule it out Thai would
be real exci1ing sruff.
The NBA sys1cm is not all
bad. It seems 10 promote more
physical play. as one of the main
advantages of the NBA involves
the officials. Professional refs
wouldn't have called that offensive foul at the end of1he DukeAorida game.
In a series format, physical
play is an advantage. Over 1he
past decade the more successful
teams, the Pistons and now the
Knicks for instance, have been
known as the more physical
teams. Of course, the Bulls, with
Michael Jordan, did not need to
rely on physical play.
Both the NBA and 1he NCAA
have developed their own playoff fonnats wh.ich, like any two
things, have good points and bad.
However, the excitement factor
which is so dominant in 1he
NCAA seems unreproducable in
any Giber setting.

Crew in Rough Waters Against .Union
By J. Alexander Hamilton
Mal'(N)n•News Staff
The Colgate crew team opened
its spring season last Saturday
with a meel against Union al the
Aqueduct Rowing Club in
Schenectady, NY. Colgate rowed
several successful pieces on the
windy water against the Union
crews. Several different boats
represented Colgate at the meet.
Novice, junior varsity and varsi1y men's and women's crews
raced 2,000-meter pieces down
the Mohawk River. Because of
the
s1rong downstream
current.
the pieces were fas1er than normal, taking from five and a half
10 six and half minutes instead
of the usual six and a half to eight
minutes long.
"To take advantage of the water ti me, we raced the best two
001 of three pieces when pos•
sible," explained coach Sean
Tobin.
Racing first, the novice men's
heavyweii;ht eight lost its first
two pieces. Coming back on the
third piece, Union still managed
to defeat Colgate in the final
sprint.
"II was frustrating 10 be rowing so much belier and still lose,"
commented first-year stroke man
Josh Frazier.
The varsity women's eight
rowed next, beating Union twice
in a row.
"The hard rowing on the ergs
(rowing machines) and the stadium steps we ran this winter really paid off," said senior captain
Dimity McDowell.
Following the varsity women,
the novice men's lightweight
eight won its two pieces.
"We had a shaky slalt but really
improved our technique and
power on the second piece,'' said
first-year oarsman Mike Wolfert.
The junior varsity men's eight,
however, lost its only piece by a
2.4 second margin.
As the winds picked up and the
water became more choppy, the
varsity women's four fought hard
but also lost its piece by one seat.
Having lost ilS first piece, the
novice women's ligh1weight
eight came back 10 defeat Union
in two well rowed pieces.
"We really c.ame together as a
crew and were able to put some
distance between them and us,"
said first-year oarswoman Kari
Kimball.
Last 10 row were the varsity
men's eight and the novice
women·~ heavyweight eight. The
varsity rpen stancd well with a
win, but then went on to lose their
last two races by spUt second dif-
ferences. The novice women, on
the other band, were just the opposite: after losing the first piece
by less than a bow ball, or about
two inches, the novice women
easily won the next two pieces.
..The catches were nice and
crisp and the recovery long and
controlled," commented firstyear coxswain Danielle Schade.
Schade later purchased Oexible
,plastic Easter rabbits for the bows
of the shells to prevent losing by
a "hare" again.
Some rowers were disappointed
by the results of the meet, but as
varsity oarsman and assistant
coach Phil Platt pointed out,
"'lltis is only the beginning of the
.season.
"At Union we wanted to gain
some more experieocr rowing the
high rating, high intensiiy
pieces,"' he said. "And that's ex..
octly what we did."
This weekend Colgate crew
hosts Mercyhurst at Syracuse on
Saturday, as both Lake Moraine
and Lake Cazenovia are still frozen. Sunday the team will travel
to Rochester.
"These will be two tough days
of rowing," said Tobin. "With the
experience at Union under our
belt, we'll be focusing on improving our stroke and winning

"Our season bas been up and

Kessenich.
"We have a very young squad,

By Lara Heyer

The women's sof1ball leam
1raveled 10 Niagara Falls and
llhaca this pasl week, splitting
doubleheaders at each location.
Sa1urday al Niagara lhe Red
Raiders won their first game 4-3,
with a late inning rally but losl a
close one in the nightcap, 10-9.
On Tuesday the llha<:a Bombers downed Colgate easily, 8-1,
in the firsl game of the doubleheader, bu11he Red Raiders managed 10 rebound and win the
nightcap, 4-3. The Red Raiders
two wins improved their season
record to 4-10 overall.
The Red Raiders were trailing
3-0 enlering the sixlh inning of
their opening game wilh Niagara
when they staned their comeback, scoring three limes in the
inning to tie things up.
The game went inlo extra innings following a scoreless sevenlh inning. In the eighth,
firs1-year Josette Woodyshek delivered the winning run with a hil
up the middle thal scored sophomore Deb LilmaD. Litman bad
singled to open up the inning, and
was moved 10 second on a sacrifice before scoring the winning
run.
Senior Usa Todz.ia went the distance. She pitched eigbl innings,
allowiogjust five hi1$, no earned
runs, and striking out two. The
f

victory brought Todzia's season
record 10 2-3.
In Saturday's nightcap, the Red
Raiders again weol in10 extra innings, but this time the roles were
reversed as Niagara edged Colga1e, I0-9. The Red Raiders
opened up the game by scoring
four times in the first inning, bul
saw 1heir lead disappear as
Niagara scored nine times over
the nexl three innings. Colgate
rallied from ils 9-4 deficil to tie
it, scoring three runs in the sixth
and two in the seventh to send the
game to ex1ra innings. Despite
the comeback, Niagara's run in
tbe bouom of theeighlh ended 1he
game in a 10-9 Red Raid~r defeat.
Woodyshek went two for five
al the plate, scoring lwice and
driving home one with her first
home run of 1he year. First- year
Cara Edwards continued her hot
hitting. going three for five and
knocking in two runs. Senior
Jaina Johnson and junior Laura
Delango also each drove in two
of Colgate's runs.
Sophomore Kristen Kero
pilched the entire game, allowing
seven hils and only four earned
runs while striking ou1 two. Kem
got very lilde defensive suppon
as the Red Raider defense commilled seven errors in the game.
Tuesday's games agains1 ldlaca,
originally scheduled 10 be home
games, were moved 10 Ithaca's
Upper Terrace Field due to the
we1 condition of the home field.
Jo the opening game of lhe
doubleheader, Colgate faced off
agains1 Hamilton High School
graduate Nikki Swan. The Red
Raiders were unable to get the
momentum going, managingjust
one run over seven innings.
Softball coach Kalie Flynn
cbarac1erized the second game of
the day as ''the bes I game we have
played all season". The game featured a good offensive output and
impressive pitching by Todzia.
Todzia went seve_n innings, strik·
ing oul ten Ithaca bauers along
the way.
"II was lhe besl game I have
ever seen her pilch," said Flynn.
"She was throwing as hard as she
has thrown all year and was in
complete control of the game."
The win brought Todzia's record
to 3-3.
Flynn was also pleased wilh
how 1he Red Raiders' "batS just
came alive." Trailing 3- 1 in the
fifth inning with two outs, sophomore Andrea Ba.~ztura tripled 10
drive in 1wo runs and lie lhe
game, 3-3. Basztura later came
around 10 score the winning run
on
double by sophomore
Kristine Scbuerger.
