Clinton's plan sparks action

By Joe Gervase Ithacan Staff

In its continuing efforts to pro­mote awareness of racc-rclalcd issues, Ithaca College is now in the process of planning a campus dialogue on race.

On Thursday, Apri I 14, in Emerson Suites, there will he a pan_cl discussion at 4 p.m., a live showing of President Bill Clinton's national hroadcast "Sports and Stereotypes" from Houston at 8 p.m., and a ques1ion

· and answer session will follow. Clinton announced his plan to

!'>tudy race relations in the United States, called the "1'litiative on Race," in. June 1997. Despite numerous efforts inviting Clinton to speak at Ithaca College, the offer was declined.

Director of Ithaca Opportunity Programs Ethel David, President Peggy Williams, the student gov­ernment and several others !'>ent letters of support, hoping to at least receive a mcmher of Clinton's Advisory Board on Race as a speaker.

"Quite frankly, we 're disap­pointed, hut we're going ahead because it's that important," David said of discussing race issues. "That was nice, they did­n't write us off."

The nationwide campus week of dialogue, taking place in April, is important to the race effort~. !',aid David Chai, spokesman for the President's Iniliative on Race.

"I can't really speak loo much ahoul the process or why those decisions were made," Chai said. ··we arc trying to make sure that ~chools arc looking at the issue and creating a way for each indi­vidual campus 10 work on or addre~!'> the issue."

Chai said although nohody had hecn appointed, they arc looking

into ~ending an administralion official to Ithaca College to speak after the broadcast.

"We're excited to sec that Ithaca is taking the call to action that we've put out there for cam­puse~ lo get involved," Chai said. 'The efforts that arc going on on your campus in particular and the infonnation that i~ gathered will he useful in helping the in11iat1vc move forward toward becoming one America in the 21 ~t century."

Ithaca College has made a spc­c I al effort toward increasing understanding of race and race­related issues with the develop­ment of the Bias-Related Incident Committee. Associate Vice­President of Student Affairs and Campus Life Brain McArcc was a key supporter of the commit­tee\ development.

"We were certainly very cxt:it­ed with the possibility that President Clinton or members of his cahincl would come to Ithaca, hut we never saw that as the he­all and end-all," McArec · said. "We took the goals of this dia­logue on race and arc trying to make that happen within our community despite the fact that a representative from Washington won't he in attendance."

Junior Scan Heffron, vice president of campus affairs, said it would have hcen nice to have a speaker of such cahher as President Clinton to send the message to a larger crowd.

"The main thing we try to do 1~ educate," Heffron said. "I think that ,111 depends on how many people we can get to come to these things. At the same time, if we can educate the same people to go out and educate others, then that's what we're really looking to do.

"We can never have too much diversity progr.1mming, period."

'' Quite frankly, we're disappointed, but we're

going ahead because it's that important.,,

Three students have hcen referred judicially after campus safety linked them to a computer stolen from the Student Activity Center in October, Ithaca College reported Thursday, March 26.

Campus safety refers three students judicially after tracing ethernet card

With the help of Academic Computing and Client Services, campus safety traced the com­puter's cthcrnet card to a student on camp.us, said Dave Maley, director of puhlic information.

"Campas !>afcty was ahlc to identify the person responsible for the theft of the computer and two other students," Maley said.

"[Williams] seems dynamic," Brcdbenncr said. "Time will tell of course, but I think they made a gllod selection."

Freshman Brian Silliman said he is impressed with the support Williams gives :-tudenls.

Stan Seltzer, a math and computer sci­ence professor at Ithaca College said he had not seen a decline in students' interest in their studies and community in his 13 years of teaching.

"I couldn't say I notice it specifically," he said. "I tlunk it's more of a cultural phe­nomenon than 111 my classroom."

John Hedlund, who came to the inaugu­ration as a guest of a 1993 graduate, said he was most impressed with the link Williams made between development in the individ­ual and the community.

"Unless people arc drawing a direct line between people and community, you have failure to helter yourself and for her to start drawing that line, I think that's fanta~tic," Hedlund said.

"I think community is important," sophomore Jodi Jaccnc said. "!Williams] !,Cems interested in everything going on and she's always attending events."

President Williams, getting some punch after finishing the party's first dance. assessed the day overall.

"This is a complicated event with many people, many players and lots of orga1111.a­tion," she said. "I think it went very well. I'm looking forward to having this hehind us so we can pay attention to other things. I haven't seen commencement here yet.

Even the London Center got involved, raising more than $7(X) m a com­munity '.->crvicc auction. In all, the college community took part m more than 70 activ­ities throughout the week.

The Student Government A'.->sociation spom,orcd a clothing drive, said Cathy Henry, SGA president. Henry said she would like to sec the day become a tradition at Ithaca College.

··1 think Peggy's commitment" to service i'.-> wonderful and should he a regular part of our community,'' said Linda McBride, fac­ulty council chairwoman.

Both McBride and Henry said it was dif­ficult lo determine how much clothing and hooks were collected due to continual and fast pick-up hy Physical Plant.

Rick Couture, assistant director of Physical Plant, said they did daily pick-ups for each collection, including a Community

Service Network can and hollle drive. Currently, everything is in storage and 1s waiting to he distributed

"It's ouLc;tanding what we were ahle to accomplish and what we were ahlc to pro­vide for the community," Couture said.

The day ended with a reception in the Pub. Various administrators including Runge, Williams, College Attorney Nancy Pringle, Vice-President of Student Affairs Jack Oblak and Vice-President and Treasurer Carl Sgreeci were rcspons1hle for serving ice cream to attendees.

Diane Sams, deputy mayor of the City of Ithaca, expressed thanks for the work Ithaca College had done throughout the past week and encouraged the community to continue Its involvement.

Housing lottery creates confusion

Jeff Matus/The Ithacan Freshmen Erin Demarco (left) and John Cambria examine lists in the Towers Concourse showing lottery selections for students.

By Erin Kowalik Ithacan Staff

It is confusing to some and annoying for others, hut it's a necessity for all who want to live on the Ithaca College campus.

For the last IO years, Ithaca College has used a lottery process for placing students in re~idence areas. However, many studcnb arc confused with the lottery.

"I really don't have a good gra!,p on how it works," said Lisa Dilorenzo, a freshman who lives in Bogart Hall.

Sophomore Maggie Prioletti said she thought she had a good chance ol living in the Garden Apartments. When she found out

she was not selected for an apart­ment, she was confused and angry.

John Fracchia, coordinator of houli,ing services, said confusion and anger can hest he avoided if !,tuclcnts understand how the housing process works.

The 1998 housing selection process hcgan on Fch. 8 when lot­tery cards and brochures were mailed.

Lottery numhcrs were ran­domly assigned to all on-campu!, students hy a computer, based on class standing. For example, Juniors have the lowest (he!,!) numbers, while freshmen have the highest (worst). It is not based on GPA or class rank.

This year, 675 students were approved for olf-campu~ hou,mg on Feb 24. Student, were dm\cn ha!,ed on the numhcr of new \lu­dcnt!> entering Ithaca College and the number ol ,tudenh 111 the lot­tery procc\s. Everyone cl!>c I!> placctnm the walling h\l.

"Our olficc ,trongly adv1\c\ ,tudcnts not lo \tgn a lca!>c hcfon; they gel off-campus approval." Fracchia ,aid

Sophomore Laura Van Hcu\cn ha, a d11fcrcnl point-ol-\1cw.

"If you !>ign the lca!>e ahead of time, you're screwed, and If you don't have a lease hy the t1111c you gel off-campus hou!>ing, you're screwed," she ,aid.

Fracchia said he undcr,lamb ll is a difficult slluauon for ,tudenl, to he tied to two different lease!>.

Student, can apply for off­campu!> hou,mg as a group, and selection is ha,cd on the lowest lnllery number.

After off-campu!> !>election, the on-campus hou,mg procc" hcgins. Fracchia !>atd the Garden Apartments arc the mo!>t popular. then smglc, and Emerson Hall.

Students can apply for a !>ix­pcrson, four-pcr~on or two-pcr!>on Garden Apartment or a five-per­son or six-person Terrace Suite. Students can apply for one type or all types depending on the situa­tion. However, when applying for these housing opportunities, !>lu­dcnts must apply as a group.

In each group, points arc as!>igncd hy cla!>s standing. Seniors get four points, junior~

PAGI: 12 TIHIRSDAY, APRIL 2, 1998 THE ITHACAN

Our VIEW

Parking: do something Tt1e question of how to squeeze 4.166 cars into

2,728 spaces has arisen multiple times In the minds of students, faculty, staff and admin1strat1on Despite tt1e widespread concern with Hie issue, little public action has yet been taken-on anyone's part.

The results of a survey conducted last semester by the Traffic Policy Committee made one thing abundantly clear: For all the complaining students do, they do not seem interested in helping make dec1s1ons. Of the 2.628 students who were sent sur­veys, 268 responded. In comparison. 646 of 1,000 faculty responded

Respons1b1ilty to deal with the parking dilemma lies not only with Ithaca College, but also with its stu­dents. All parties involved should be willing to make ad1ustments In order to alleviate the headache of parking on campus.

Possible solutions, such as charging more for per­mits, paving more of campus or not allowing fresh­men to bring vehicles to school, fall within the col­lege's 1urisdictIon. Last semester, Ithaca College lengthened the Tower (J) parking lot, resulting only in the addition of 10 red spaces to the previous total.

Until a better solution is reached, students can help improve the problem. Car pooling would be a viable solution, as well as being more environmental­ly friendly, if students were willing to do their part. Also, Tompkins County Area Transit buses run twice per hour during the day-why not wake up half an hour earlier to catch the bus? To find parking near , their academic buildings, students arrive as early for class as they would taking the bus on the half-hour.

Since students, unfortunately, won't take this initia­tive, it is our view that the best solution to the prob­lem is to restrict freshman parking privileges. As freshmen are required to room and board on cam­pus, their primary reason for having cars is for trans­portation home. A compromise could be reached by providing a new lot, farther away, devoted exclusively to freshmen with cars.

The issue of parking on campus concerns nearly everyone in the Ithaca College community. For those who complain but didn't bother to respond to the sur­vey-you must not care as much as you say you do. The entire community understands and realizes park­ing Is an issue, so rather than express your con­cerns, why not take action? Do the little bit you can until a broader resolution Is successfully enacted.

~I.ETTERS Wrong quote

I was angered ,l!ld upset today lo ~ee a q'uol\: next to my p11.:1urc and name in the Ithacan Inquirer scctmn that was a distortion of the quote I gave to one of your reporters.

The question· Why do you think there arc hias­rclatcd incidents on campu~? My answer: "For some rea­son, these people ju~t have prejudices, and they feel like they should act out on them." The quote printed in the paper was "People just have prejudices and have to act out on them."

Now I ask you, do you sec a difference'! Because unlcs~ you're blind you will. Now it is possible that some people could misconstrue the quote you printed into thinking that I undcr~tand or condone the behavior of those participating in these incidents, while my actual . quote shows that I don't con­done or understand these occurrences.

Hopefully, no one look the quote you p6intcd the wrong way, but I'll tell you something: get your stuff straight before you print it and don't chop up quotes to make it ~ound how you thmk it ~hould ~ound.

Activism is in The Ins and Ouh were

read hy a niaJ<mty of the College. One hnc 1denllf1cd Apathy as In, and Activism as Out. Arc you saying that students arc apathetic? Or 11 i~ "cool" to he apathetic? Where did you discover th1~'! You were not looking in the riglJt places. Our media docs not portray the true trends in society.

There 1s evidence ~tudcnt activism 1~ high. Have you noticed the variety of service organizations at Ithaca College? We have a great number of ~ludenb involved in educating us on issues such as diversity, sexuality and women's issues.

We work directly m neighborhood schools and after-school programs. We coach teams and work in the hospital. We rchuild dwin­dling houses and we help out in homes for those with spe­cial needs.

Students from campus engage in volunteering every day. They enjoy this work and thrive on pcrfonn­ing public service.

Ithaca College students gave up break to put their ideas to work at two differ­ent Habitat for Humanity sites in New Jersey and Florida. And four represen­tati vcs traveled to the COOL National Conference on Student Community Service. Speakers addressed the 1,500 people assembled and reminded us that togeth­er we can make a difference, that peaceful social change is indeed possible, and that we arc today's leaders. as well as tomorrow's.

We have so many indi­viduals commillcd to chang­ing our society. Don't yo~ think we can he stronger if we work together?

Survey done The Ithaca College

Traffic Policy committee completed a cooperative venture with faculty and stu­dent~ to a~scss the needs of the campus.

A Marketing Research cla~s designed a parking

~urvcy. Herc is ~omc infonnat1on

learned from the ~urvcy. 89.9 percent of the Faculty, Staff; and Admninistration drive to work; 5.75 percent car pool; 1.25 percent use public transportation and 3.1 percent use other mean~ to get to work, 52.1 percent of the students walk to class; the large majority of these students live on campus. While 47.7 percent of the students who responded gave the major reason for having a car in Ithaca as transportation home, 69 per­cent of the student respon­dents did not car pool to campus, I 0.6 percent of stu­dent respondents said they would not have allcnded Ithaca if they had not been allowed lo have a car as a freshman, 28 percent responding said they would not bring their car to campus if the vehicle registration fee was increased.

The ~sk of the Traffic Poliey Committee now is to analyze the data and consid­er whether any alternative~ need to be proposed to address parking needs on campus.

~ e,~V. More education about AIDS. ~~ needed to prevent the disease

AIDS, it is a matter of life and death, hut not necessarily in the way we've always considered it. It's quite amazing, ironic almost, that the s a m e moment of pas-s i o n that can create a human life can. destroy one.

People have sex for differ­ent rea­sons, some for pleasure and some for making love, although w,e could agree that traditionally the most important function of het­erosexual sex has been procre­ation .. This devili~h disease HIV has arranged it so that one can slip on a little wndom, (or hig one a~ ~ome may daim,) and ju~t ahout avoid the AIDS epidenm:, hut ,~n ·1 that defeating the reproduc­tive purpose of sex'! What 1~ going to happen when our genera-

tion wants to have kids, and therefore have sex without con­traceptives?

The most troubling thing about AIDS is that it is completely preventable, yet it is spreading so quickly. I don't know why this is, hut I know I can help and I hope everyone read-ing this will join me.

There are already many groups and individuals dedicated to fighting AIDS. It is so impor­tant that people living with AIDS continue to make others aware and share their experiences because the results thus far have saved so many and must continue to do so. Those of us who do not have AIDS and think we're "nor­mal and exempt" need to join the force and do our part to turn the trend around. We can do it, and here's how:

Go out and get all the correct information on AIDS. Read about it. learn from anyone you·can, and become confident enough on the suhJect ~o that you can teach oth­er~. Learn the right way to put a condom on. women too, and give one-on-one lcs~ons (using a banana). Bring it up at dinner

with your friends and make it an open and casual conversa­tion, never demeaning someone who

has the incorrect information. We tend to be ashamed and hesitant to talk ahout sex, both hetero~cxual and homosexual, but it is important that we allow ourselves and others to drop the mhihitions and respect other's heliefs in order to reach our goal. Our generation is getting AIDS, and our genera­tion can get ml of 11.

That's II-pretty simple think, so go for 11. The Internet 1~ a great place to begin. Go onlinc tonight and teach someone ~mne­thing tomorrow. This 1s how to

heat AIDS. Use your condom ~cn~e. Bretl Shiel is a sophonwn• music

:,aid. "He's been trymg a long tune. Every thing we prayed for tlus year, we got."

Besides a national title, the Suddabys prayed for six people III event finals.

Thu~, six Bomber,. qualified for Saturday's event finab and all six won AII­Arncnca honors. Ma1.er won vault with a two-day total of 19 .15. She also limshcd second on har~ ( I 8. 77 5) and hcam ( 18.975). Nardone earned third on beam with 18.9 points and. siKth on vault ( 18.525). McClung took fifth on bar~ with an 18.375, earning All-American status for the third time. Kowalski ( 18.5, fifth) and Davi;, ( 18.45, siKth) rounded out the sextet.

The penultimate a1.:t1vity Saturday after­noon wa:-, the hcstowrnent of the NCGA

Coach of the Year honors. With the same three-quarters smile he'd worn all week­end, Suddaby accepted this year's award.

In I 998, -Ithaca broke and set 18 school rcwrds. It was a year in which doubts were replaced with confidence and disappoint­ment was replaced with fulfillment. Someone much older than any Bomber gymnast and more often quoted than Nardone once said, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. On this team, there were no weak links.

Though not every gymnast won an event linal or received All-American sta­lus, every athlete played an integral role in the Bomber gymnastic community-from cheering to coaching to hugging.

"It's important to feel like you've con­tributed, whether you've competed or not,"

McC!ung ~aid. "Everyone on our team contributed to our championship." '

The team shared its greatest hug of al I late Friday night in a sweaty gym in Providence. Seated in a circle on the floor, they waited lcnsely as the scores were read. "In· second place," a female voice announced, "wilh a score of 148.675, The Unlver ... " That's all they heard. The hyste­ria took over and the entire team embraced, first individually, each grabbing the nearest teammate and pulling her close, then as a team, standing in a circle and enjoying the moment. Smiles and tears washed away any doubts that lhey could not overcome the pressure to clench a national title.

Six seniors, one junior, three sopho­mores, six freshmen. One National Championship.

THE ITHACAN THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1998 I'\(,! 21 ----------------------------

Education majors lead double lives

By Daniel Gold Ithacan Staff

Wanted: Students willing to dedicate an entire semester's course load to teaching at a middle school or high school. Students must be prepared to create lesson plans, as well as

grade papers and exams. Also must be willing to give up chunks of their social lives.

With this type of job requirement, one might think there would not be many students who would take the offer. However, many Ithaca College students jumped at the chance to student teach. Through the Ithaca College Center for Teacher Education, students learn how to teach English, social studies, the sciences, and mathematics. After vigorous training and exposure to teaching, students arc prepared to dive into the profes­sion hy their senior year.

Assistant professor Gary Fountain teaches educa­tion at Ithaca College and is also a supervisor for stu­dent teachers. He works with students to be sure they arc ready to teach and deals with cooperating teachers in either the middle school or high school who allow rnllcge students to teach in their classes.

"It hcgins with the various education courses,"

Chuck Hollidayffhe Ithacan Senior Judd Karlman, a student teacher, said teaching is the hardest thing he has ever done.

Fountain said. "There is a course called Elements of Tutoring they will gener­ally take in their sopho­more year. That is the first class that takes them out doing things."

Students then take two methods courses that teach them how to write lesson plans, create exams and lecture a class. After observing teachers and going out on trial runs, students arc pre­pared by their senior year to go out and effectively teach from 7:30 a.m. to

Chuck Hollidayffhe Ithacan Senior Kara Roth, an English education major, grades papers for the class she is teaching. Roth said teaching and the students have become her life.

3:30 p.m. The program is a full cour~c load. The ~tu­denHeaching program is 12 credits, and the student~ must take an additional three-credit seminar. 111 which they talk about their successes and failures 111 their classes.

Senior Judd Karlman, an English education mayir for grades 7 through 12, knows what 11 1s like to be a full-time student and a full-time teacher. He ha~ only been teaching for eight weeks and adm1h ll 1s not the easiest thing to do.

"It's really the hardest th111g l'\'e ever done:· Kariman said. "ll1ere arc days that I really don't want to get out of bed, but that's not really an option any­more. It's not like skipping a class. h's not like I can leave and take an absence. I'm a teacher now."

Senior Kara Roth, also an Engli~h cducatwn major, said being a student teacher can he very 111tim­idating.

"It kind of feels like real life ~uckcd me up a semester early," Roth said. "The fiN two weeks arc really tough, but after a month or so. the studcnb real­ly curn into your life."

Kariman said he spends a lot ol t1111c preparing himself for to teach. He spends ~n 11H1ch tune 111 preparation that he sometime~ lose, p,:1,pcct1\e on being a student himself at Ithaca Cnllq'.e

"The amount of work we have tll d(, ,, pretty out­rageous," Karlman said. "Gradrng p,,pL·r, ,md gl\ 1ng them back to students and the time it takL·~ to get ready to teach one 45-minute lesson 1s prett: ,1ma11ng. So I think the teaching takes precedence o, c-r hcmg a ,tu­dent."

Fountain said he knows how dcmandmg the pro­gram is and docs not advi~c students to do anythrng else hut teach.

"I have had some other students who ha\'c done some other thing!:, in addition to !:>ludent teachmg, hut

my assessment is, in addition to teachmg full time. to take a full course load would be tough," Fountain said. "To be in the classroom all day long. go home at night and have all the grading and all the preparation to do, and to have another course on top of that . 1t'!:, not something I would ever advise a student to do."

Karlman also knows that the experience I!> 111tcnsc, hut well worth it.

"'At times, the pressure can really get to you and that's a little bit frustrating," Kariman said. "It\ not like class where you sll down and take note~ for weeks and then you have one test. I go m there and get tested 111 front of two dozen teenagas just about l'\ cry

-day and 1f I fail a test, I know it m a hurry-111 a big hurry." Students like Roth know that student teach­ing is a full-time Joh, however. they want to do 11 an: -way.

"I've always had excellent Engli~h teacher!-,:· Roth said. "It's always been my interest. I' vc had go( ld teachers and bad teachers and the )!OOd tcachn, 111,pircd me to go out and do the same th111g ··

'Re-establishing his own vision Professor brings life experiences of struggle and triumph into class

By Daniel Gold Ithacan Staff

Dr. Antonio DiRenzo. profcs­~or of professional writing, marches into a small, closet-like room in Williams Hall, confident in his steps and with the smile of a PR agent. Short in stature, he make~. up for it with his body movements.

DiRcnzo looks al his students, who are attentive and waiting for the big bang of his personality to hit. Then it happens. With the help of his Sony tape player. the Wgncrian opera "Der Rheingold" plays. and he comes alive singing along with it, pouring out l11s heart and soul. Just as another climax in the music 1s about to hit, and the students arc looking at him with wild fascinallon and hints of skepticism, he stops and ~huts off the music. The students arc left hanging. wondering first, why he performed this opera in a professional writing course, but most of all, why he stopped where he did.

This is DiRcnzo\ style. He derived it from Bcrtolt Brecht, a Gcnnan playwright. The idea is to engage the students and then break off, to their amazement, to discuss the work analytically. He then repeats the process. His style 1s reminiscent of a commercial break right in the middle of the action of a suspenseful"television

'drama. · Junior Steve Ross.ignoll, a cor­porate communication major, said he appreciates the way D1Renzo teaches his professional writing class.

"When I first met him, I was terrified," Rossignoll said. "Now I see how it ties into lectures. He takes actual examples from pro­fessional documents and tics them into assignments ... I hang on almost all his words."

DiRenzo admits that if the teaching is not done this way, there is no critical perspective, and the students will never sec how they are involved.

Senior Bret Cococcia takes Humor Writing with DiRenzo and said he finds DiRenzo an 1m:redibly smart man, and his caching style ddinitely works.

"When I first went in there, I thought I was in a theater class," Cococcia said. "I wasn't expect­ing him to go off quoting tradi­tional humorist stuff. He really gets his point across ... [and] makes you want to pay attention more than your nonnal teachers would."

Cococcia said that DiRenzo is true humorist and an effective professor for the course because he took the time to study the roots of humor writing.

Behind the veil of the per­fom1er, he is a man torn between being an American and bcing an Italian who tries to hold onto the memories of his homeland.

"I always sec myself as an 1mm1grant, even though I was born here," DiRenzo said. "I spent my very ~arly formative years in Italy. I did not speak English until I was ~even. So I have this outsider's perspective, moving away from the old coun­try and from the ethnic enclaves in Brooklyn to the heart of cen­tral New )crscy, which 1s extremely commercial."

DiRenzo's parents, however, were enthusiastic Americans. His father allained huge material suc­cess coming simply from the shepherd's fields of Italy, where­as his mother was not afforded the same luxury.

"My mother ... came from the aristocracy," DiRenzo said. "She was v~ry cultured, very artsy, very into history and science and things like that."

However, his mother, after moving to America, entered the sweatshops in Brooklyn and did not have the same advantages his father experienced.

DiRenzo's opinions of American life and democracy, therefore, are very mixed be­cause of the way his mother was treated. When he was young, DiRenzo told his father he wanted to be a pattern maker on Seventh Avenue. DiRenzo's father aptly told him, "No. Over my dead body will you be that."

"Ironically, that's when I [started] my retreat to become an intellectual and a scholar ... and turned to my books," DiRenzo said.

Gary Cotti/The Ithacan Antonio DiRenzo, assistant professor In the Writing Program, pores over his next lesson. DiRenzo employs opera, among other aspects of culture, in his classes to stimulate discussion In students.

DiRenzo's father fought as a foreigner to make his way to the top. His father's ambition and hard work afforded DiRenzo the chance to go to Syracuse Univer­sity, without financial aid, to graduate as a telecommunications major. The way his father was treated made DiRenzo very skep­tical of the American Dream and the emotional price he paid for success.

"I wanted lo be an English major," DiRenzo said. "I wanted to do something artsy by the time I decided I wanted to go lo col­lege. And my parents said, 'Look, the only reason we're going to bankroll you, if we're going lo make a liule investment in you is if you do something practical.' So what was I going lo do? So the compromise for me was lo go lo Newhouse."

DiRenzo, despite his parents' request, took enough English courses to make him a major, yet never officially declared. This, he said, gave him the tools for his future career in copy editing, which only lasted for three years.

"I went from college right to

the job market," Di Renzo said. "I thought I would find a position that would [tide] me over a while ... I tried selling my screenplays, selling my stories, absolutely no use at all. So I figured I had lo fall back on certain skills that I had, and my best skills were my writ­ing skills."

DiRenzo worked a<; a copy­writer for radio public service announcements, news and then finally advertising .. His frustra­tion came, ironically, in the light of his huge success in advertis­ing. Similar to the way he parades in class, he would sing and act out his writing for clients, and in a half-hour, he modestly said, he would have the client out of the office and paid for.

"Why is it this stuff gets all that attention, where my work [does not]? What docs that say about the dysfunction of values in this culture'!" DiRenzo ques­tioned.

That is what he brings to the classroom after receiving his masters degree al Villanova and then his doctorate at Syracuse University. His goal is to have his

student~. who arc about to enter corporate America, question the tactics of American busmes~ and then make sound judgements.

"Even though I say some very outrageous thing~ m cla~s. I tend not lo alienate my ~tu<lcnb because I don't judge them." DiRenzo said.

Although his class book selec­tion seems intimidating at first and quite lengthy, students leave the class with the ability to be thoughtful writers. DiRenrn rec­onciles his billcrness for American corporate culture because he knows what it is like and how it helped him achieve the position he is in now.

What DiRenzo enJoys most about his class is that he has a voice that will let him speak about his feelings of corporate life. While he worked for three year~. the stifling of his true opinion v.,a~ too much for him to handle.

"The greatest gift my stu<lenb give me is that they will at:tually listen to me," DiRenzo said. "I have a hearing. I can talk ahout this stuff and that 1s very satisfying."

Singer invokes thought about musical integrity By Alanna M. Muscate

Ithacan Staff

The · influential basis of "Friends" character Phoebe is revealed -she embodies the per­sona of siriger/songwriter Dar Williams. Petite with vint_age 1970s garb, flowing blond hair and fingers made to jam_ on gui-1ars, Williams entertained a throng of about 300 in the coffee­house Saturday, March 28. Ithaca College was the next stop after a perfonnance at New York City's Carnegie Hall.

The neo-folk singer, who has been compared to talents Ani Difranco, Sarah Maclachlan and Tori Amos, intermingled charm­ing, quirky dialogue with happy tunes.

Junior Aaron Mendelson, executive chair of the Student Activities Board, which spon­sored the event, said Williams has a good sense of how to work with the audience.

"We're definitely intrigued by her," he said.

After three years of playing solo, Williams gathered a band consisting of acoustic guitarist Richard Shindcll and eel-list Stephanie Winters of The Nudes.

Winters, who has been a mem­ber of the ensemble since May of 1997. said the Ithaca College audience was very receiving of the perfonnarn.:e.

"I loved the atmosphere of being at one with the audience," she said. "The students were great and seemed very responsive to [Williams') singing."

Williams grew up in the Westchester town of Chappaqua. Her background affected her greatly, and she has voiced this to her audience. However, some people have not been very recep­tive.

"Someone said to me yester­day, 'I don't care about your experience, I don't care about suburban alienation. I grew up with no money and our thing was trying to find money and food. So I don't care about a lot of teenagers sitting around on their beds feeling alienated and neurot­ic. Big deal.' And I was like, 'that's my voice,"' Williams said.

"I grew up in the suburbs and I speak for that world of women who sense that there is a bridge out of the community that just funnel into themselves. There's this enormous energy to put into the world and not just into your­self."

Williams, a graduate of reli­gion and theater at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, cher­ishes the belief that honesty is one of the most important assets in the music industry.

"(I want to be remembered in this industry] as being honest backstage, on stage and in my

music," Williams said. "There's a thing we call Dar Williams, and we have to discover what that is and live up to it and then go pa~t ii."

Junior Elizabeth Barrell agrees that Williams' honesty is present in her lyrics.

"I like [her music] hccause it's very honest, tt's poetic, and it's just very real," Barrett said. "It is not the standard music cine would hear on the radio. It's not the average come-and-go song."

Williams said the Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt and Laurie Anderson are an inspiration to her, namely because of their integrity.

"They are true to their politics in every phase of their fame and their career," Williams said. "Laurie Anderson is really an ambassador of the arts as she tried a lot of different things, but she's always been a student of the arts and is always trying and doing new things."

Another inspirational moment in her life was the Lilith Fair. There, Williams bonded with her contemporaries.

"As long as you feel like you 're in the tlow of what your life is, then your can handle the fact that you're surrounded by all these talented people," she said. 'Then they arc just different peo­ple doing wonderful things."

Williams described the unique

moviegoers have placed their sympathies with lawhrcakcrs hccausc they arc pre!'>cnt­cd as charming, good natured people who have only taken to crime as a last resort.

That 1s certainly the case with the true !'>lory of 'The Newton Boys," in which four charming hrothcrs from Tcxa!'> become hank rohhers and end up one of the most !'>Ucces!'>ful gangs of all tune. The movie portrays the!'>c brothers as closer to Rohm Hood than Bonnie and Clyde, so it i!'> ea!'>y to like them and hope they get away with it.

The Newton hrothers consist of Willis (Mat­thew McCon­au ghcy), the gang's leader; Jess (Ethan Hawke), a ladies man; Doc (Vin­cent D'Onofno), the strong one; and Joe (Skeet Ulrich), the hrother with a conscience. The brothers arc also Joined by Brent Glasscock (Dwight Yoakam), who knows all sorts of important things such as how lo properly blow things up wnh nitroglycerine.

The brothers turn to a life of crime after Willis convinces them that the banks deserve to be rohbed. He says as'long as they only rob insured banks and never kill anyone, then they're not hurting anybody.

Willis soon sells his brothers on this idea and the Newton Boys quickly become

the most successful bandits in American hbtory. During their career, they rob banks from Texas to Toronto. while all the while !'>licking to Willis' plan.

With the combination of this cast and that plot, it's not surprising that this movie is hardly a deep meditation on the depths of crime. At its heart, "The Newton Boys" 1s a rollicking comedy that desperately wants to be the "Butch Cac;sidy and the Sundance Kid" for the '90s. The banter hctwccn the gang is reminiscent of that classic film-they both have a scene where too many explosives arc used on a safe, and they even have similar credn !'>C(JUCnCCS.

Unfortunately, this movie falls very short of its unofficial predecessor. The casting is right on and there arc some truly funny sequences-a botched robbery in Canada is a highlight-but one gets the sense that the filmmakers arc coasting here.

Director and co-writer Richard Linklater, venturing far off from the style of his prcviom, films like "Dazed and Confused" and "Before Sunrise," has com­piled a good ca~l. but that's all. Instead of developing characters like he has in his previous movies, Linklater just lets the boys play off each other and that grows repetitive.

A real clear ~tory never appears and the film's cndmg meanders on for atz least 10 minutes too long.

Though the script docs give us some scenes that arc zippy fun, it drags for long stretches. Too much time is wasted on a romantic subplot with McConaughcy and Julianna Margulies as his too-trusting girl­friend.

Margulies is a gifted actress, but her character is thinly written and really does­n't have much purpose except to throw some estrogen into the movie's mostly

T• lrlcaum ... ,.., (an} ta 4 (a1).

male cast. Any real success in the movie is a trih­

u t e to its cast. Asking Matthe\l. McConaughcy to play a charming gu) with a million-dollar smile is as easy a, breathing, and he approaches his job with panache. Skeet Ulrich also fares well with the role of the goody two shoes being cor­rupted by his brothers, and Ethan Hawkf really shines here. Usually Hawke play, pretentious whiners, but he finally loosen, up and does the best work in the film.

Unfortunately, Vincent D'Onofrio, the best actor of the bunch, has the worst role and often doesn't have to do much except stand around. But these guys arc all havmg fun, and they make this movie cntcrtam­mg.

Though there arc entertaining strctche, in "The Newton Boys," there are morf missed opportunities. For a film that !'>o desperately _wants its characters to be the new Butch and Sundance, the filmmaker, should have realized that that film worked because it had a great script as well a, charming actors. _

Just like the last robbery the !'.,lllg pulled, the filmmakers almost get awa1 with it but can't pull it off complcli..:ly.

team to beat Binghamton University.

Tuesday, the Colonials, ranked number one in the Northeast Region, traveled to Kostrinsky Field for a doubleheader against the Bombers, the number three team in the region. The first game started out as a slugfesl but quickly turned into a classic pitching duel. Sophomore pitcher Robin Bimson gave up a home run to the first batter of the game, Binghamton's center fielder Jenn Crain,.nc Bombers answered with a

run of their_own on an RBI single by junior third baseman Julie McGraw to tic the contest 1-1 after one inning.

"It was a huge game·for us. I think every­one was up for it. We went in with the attitude that we could win," McGraw said. "Everyone knew they: were ranked ahead of us in our region and ranked ahead of us in the nation."

With each team struggling for a run, the game remained deadlocked for the next five innings. It was not until the bottom of the sev­enth inning when, with the bases loaded and two outs, sophomore right fielder Janine Lawler drove in junior shortstop Cheryl Wah

to give Ithaca a 2-1 victo­ry.

In game two, sopho­more pitcher Christie Davis faced off against Binghamton's Jessica Ross. The Bombers

Over the weekend,, Ithaca traveled to the Kean/Montclair Tournament tor four game,. When it was all over; the Bomhers had three more victoncs and one more loss to add to their record. The South Hill squad defeated William Paterson (5-2). Chowan ( 1-0) and Kean (6-1) over the two-day stretch. However, it dropped one game to Salisbury (8-6). Remia hit two home run~ against Kean to move her season total to five, breaking the single-season home run record held by Monique Echternach, who hit four in 1979.

"These next two weeks arc really tough for us. We play all-ranked teams," Rcmia said. "We're going to have to keep working hard, keep our intensity up and really start focusing in on the job that needs to be done."

The Bombers will not have any time to savor their victory. Their next opponent is cross-town rival Cornell. The Big Red ( 13-3) will be riding a JO-game winning streak when they travel from the East Hill to the South. Hill for today's 3 p.m. game. Cornell has a potent offense that Ithaca will have to contain with solid pitching.

Men come up aces on the road

By Rick Mattison Ithacan Staff

They were on the road. They were forced indoors by Mother Nature. They played on a surface they weren't accustomed to. They won anyway.

The members of the Ithaca College men's tennis team (2-0) traveled to Hamilton College ( 1-3) Wednesday, March 31, and came away victors by a score of 7-2. Sophomore Jamil Rojer's return sparked the Bombers' vic­tory. The sophomore won the match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-0. The quick surface proved to he an advantage to his fa.st serve.

"The surface played like a rub­ber carpet," Rojer said. "It helped me get a high percentage first serve. The key to the team's vic­tory today was togetherness."

Sophomore Matthew Schult1., South Hill's second-seeded play­er, extended his school-record winning streak to 18 matches. He won in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1. Schultz also teamed with Rojer as the College's number one doubles

team, winning 8-3. Other Bomber victories were

provided by freshman Howie Edelstein, junior Tom Bishop, freshman Rick Grubb and the doubles team of Edelstein and sophomore Andy Orowitz.

The Bombers picked up the first win of the season Monday, March 30, by sweeping Elmira College 9-0. Schultz played num­ber one singles and pulled off the victory in straight sets. Grubb teamed with Schultz to score a win as the number one doubles team from the South Hill.

"It was my first match, so I was nervous," Grubb said. "I just had to settle down and stay con­sistent."

Edelstein won in straight sets by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. He gave credit co good practice weather.

"[The weather] helped out a lot," Edelstein said. "It gave us a chance to get outside and get to know one another better."

The team faces Oneonta on Tuesday at home. Wednesday pits them against St. Lawrence, which will he the toughest tc~t to date.

· Quote of the week _· . . ' . .

Senior gymnast Tia Gardner, expressing her feelings after Ithaca narrowly defeated the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse Friday at the National Collegeiate Gymnastics Championships:

Lindsey Mazer Gymnastics

Last weekend this sophomore was crowned all-around champion at the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association Championship at Rhode Island College. In addition, she paved the way for the Bombers en route to their first-ever national title.

Mazer dominated the meet, jumping out to a quick lead in the vault (9.5). When the dust settled, she was a half a point ahead of Kari Motz of the University of Wisconsin­Lacrosse, who defeated mazer for the top individual spot last year. This is the second straight year Mazer has received All-American status. . . .
