In the past quarter, I have worked with
eight individuals who, unfortunately for
REPORTER, will be graduating next
weekend. It is my heartfelt belief that it
is they, not the Editor-in Chief, who
deserve the credh for producing this
quality publication on a weekly basis.
My thanks to: John Weingardt, who's
self assurance and p u b l i c a t i o n
knowledge I wish I had; Stewart Place
and Darlene Parker, who put up with a
hotel major stumbling his way through
publishing a magazine; Jacqueline
Pelzer, who took up the slack while our
secretary was out; and Mark Sasahara
and his calm attitude throughout every
internal problem. Also, my thanks to
Gary Mostcller, Alan Farkas, and Mike
Tuleja, who, while not as visible as the
other graduating seniors, were no less
dedicated. I hope each of you find true
prosperity and happiness in your years
following R I T .

The Reagan Administration, in its infinite wisdom, has moved to cut federal
student loan and student aid programs
for higher education. It is likely Congress
will be deliberating over this move during our summer vacation. Any cut in
federally supported education would be a
drastic mistake. The administration
claims that the system is being abused by
many students who really do not need
the aid. This is too bad, but inherent in
big bureaucracies. Also inherent in a
bureaucratic system is the tendency to ignore individual situations and simply
analyze numbers. Because of this, coupled with more education cuts, some of us
will not be able to attend college.
Therefore, while you arc home this
summer with plenty of free time and
away from academic pressures, it might
be a good idea to write your Represen
tativc or Senator, expressing objection to
this ill conceived budget plan. I f you are
in a position of financial securitv, write
anyway. You could be helping your
roommate, best friend, and thousands of
students who will have to sacrifice a
quality education because they can not
afford it. I f we do nothing to protest this
move, it will certainly be approved bv
Congress. Our future depends on the
education we give our f)eople. We should
protest most vehemently.

Congratulations and thanks to all the peo
pie involved in making last Friday's Spring
fest events such a success. It was a welcome
change to see the R I T community turn out
in such numbers for a school sponsored
event. Mavbe this should be taken as an ex
ample to the rest of us that with a little par
ticipation in R I T clubs and organizations,
we can make our stay here a little more en
jovable and meaningful.
I hope the recent turnouts for "We Are
The World " and Springfest were not mere
ly a phenomenon of spring, but the begin
ning of a new awareness that involvement
can make a difference. Mavbe we should
each make a "New Year's Resolution" to
get just a little involved in something in the
"fall.
Again, thanks to all those involved in
Springfest, not just for the fun of last Friday, but laving down an example to the rest
of us that "it's true we make a brighter
day, just you and me!"

In Praise Of Faith
On May 18. at about 1 \
a.m., I will be
taking part in our graduation ceremony.
When I think of that day, which is just a
few days awav, I cannot help but think of
the graduation ceremony I went through
three years ago. During that graduation
ceremony, which took place at the State
L'niversity of New York at Canton. I made
a decision for Christ.
After three years (I had changed majors)
at Canton, during this boring ceremony,
hungover, I said, " L o r d , I ' m all yours."
Now this wasn't a spur of the moment
thing. I had been reading the Bible, talking
to {ieople (Christians and nonOhristians),
and doing a lot of thinking. Finally, I just
faced the fact that the important things of
this world are just so shallow in com
pari.son to the riches of (icnl. Mv whole life
totally changed. I had surely experienced
what the Apostle Paul had written in his
second
Epistle to the Corinthians,
"Therefore, i f any man be in Christ, he is a
new creature: old things are passed awav;
behold all things become new." (5:17)
Wow. did I experience this.
Before I knew it, I was in school again.
This time I was Christian and in coming to
R I T , I knew I could go one of two wavs:
the old, or the new in Christ. Bv the grace
of Cod, I became involved in the Brothers
and Sisters in Christ Christian Fellowship.
For mv three years here at R I T , I have
been involved in the group. I have ap
preciated the group and all the other Chris-
tian Fellowships as well. Sometimes I look
back at those Canton years and it boggles
my mind to .see where the Lord has taken
me. Someone once told me that I was
brainwashed. A M E N , my brains needed a
washing.
Maybe myself or another Christian has
aggravated you with the Cospel (good
news) of Jesus Christ. I can remember
when I was aggravated at Canton and now
I thank ( i o d for it. Can a society, so
educated,
advanced,
and enlightened,
believe in a personal (»od that came down
from his glorv, in the form of a man (Jesus),
and died for the sins of the world? .^s wild
as it sounds, I believe it with all mv heart.
In conclusion, I would like to challenge
you to read the Holy Bible and to ask (iod
for his truth. And who knows, maybe vou
will make the greatest decision of your life
during ceremonies.

Ethiopian Thanks Us
The ongoing effort on the R I T campus to
help starving people in the drought affected
regions in Africa, mainlv in Ethiopia, mv
countrv, has touched mv heart deeply.
Mv people, caught between a natural
disaster (drought) and human made proheconomic policy), have suffered for at least
a decade. Today, this situation has led to
decade. Today, this situation has led to
great horror and human tragedy. Many
people throughout the world have tried,
and are still trying, to help and to save lives
in whatever way they can. By the activities
of April 2.1, and by their continuing efforts,
students and faculty memlx-rs at RIT" have
demonstrated that they really care. Because
of these efforts, thousands of jjeoplc's lives
have been saved.
As an E.lhiopian, I would like to thank
everyone who took and is taking part in
these humane activities. I would also like to
take this opportunity to extend my deepest
thanks to all {X'ople outside of this community for their great concern and effort.
Shawel Beyene
Another Gary View
The moving of the Cary Library has stirred
many different feelings among students,
faculty, and alumni at R I T , especially in
the School of Printing. Today, I had the
opportunity to talk with Mr. Lawson, the
original Cary professor. I thought that he,
if anyone could straighten out "the facts".
I asked him to comment on a few remarks
made bv Reno Antonietti in last weeks
issue of the REPORTER. The first was i f in
fact " i t should be pointed out that the Cary
Collection was originally formed as an adMay 10. 1985
ministrativc unit of the Wallace Memorial
Library. " I asked him i f this statement was
true. M r . Lawson replied, " N o , it never
was." The Wallace only helped the Cary
out during its building process. Books were
stored in the Wallace while the Cary was
being made, purchasing was done through
the Wallace originally, and the Cary did
make use of their established system, but
only in the beginning. Todav however, the
Wallace has not "continued to support the
Cary Library through shared purchasing
and transfer of materials." Maybe once or
twice they have split orders, but this has
not been a common practice.
I really don't think this whole situation
is based on facts however. It is based on
feelings. Because the location will become
inadequate to house the growing collection
in five to six years doesn't mean that the
solution lies in taking it away from the
School of Printing. There are plenty of
spaces within the school itself that could be
allocated as storage areas. What the ad
ministration is offering, when it comes right
down to it, is space only. We already have
classroom area, study comers elegance and
atmosphere.
As far as location goes, sure it is central
ly located, but that is not what is impor
tant. Its visibility to the Printing School is.
The Gary Library is the Humanism of print
ing. For those at the School of Printing, it
ties together all aspects of their education.
It represents fine craftsmanship and our
ideal! I don't think (although they might
enjoy it too) the other schools would share
that same enthusiasm that the Cary has to
offer. It is not that we do not want the Cary
to expand, we just don't want it to lose its
identity and our close identity to it. When
people from all over the world come to the
School of Printing not only are they impressed with the technical facilities, but
also how we are able to tie in our education
with the end products themselves. The
quality of all processes and stages combined in the physical books is impressive.
There was once a beautiful librarv at
the School of Printing, it was the best in the
state for printing references. Kodak, Xerox,
and many others used to frequent it, but
soon the books were moved out for con
ference rooms and intum the loss of its
identity. Probably more than half the Printing students today don't even know that it
existed. I know I didn't.
I would have to disagree with Reno Antoniettc's comment defending the ad
ministration. Not one administrator who
has decided the Gary's fate has taken the
time to comment on any of the student's
reactions. I f infact they had "the verv best
interest of R I T and its students at heart"
why didn't they consult them first' Why is it
when the faculty disapproved of their proposal that they in essence said, "too bad"?
Guarantees have been made before but
none have stood up. Spaces originally set
aside for the School of Printing have been
taken away by the photo finishing labs and
various others. The Paf>er lab couldn't
even get an automatic paper making
machine due to space taken awav and
broken promises. What makes you think
we should believe them this time? There is
more to this problem than practicality. I
personally feel a strong attachment to the
Gary and would consider it a grave loss.
The Gary is part of us and that which we
are not ready to give up.

Vendacard Explained
In response to Jeffrey S. Weik's letter con
ceming Vendacard, I want to reply. Many
issues are raised here, and I would like to
address them individually.
Unwanted Multiple Gopies: This is not
a Vendacard problem. I B M 2, a work
horse, heavy duty copier, has a counter dial
to select the number of copies requested. In
the past several weeks, I have had to order
six new dials (average life span about three
days) because users have broken them with
misuse (turning the dials while copies are
being made, forcing the dial to turn when it
is set on a previously selected number and
hasn't completed the requested amount
. . . ) . This is a relatively new problem that
hasn't plagued us before. We are working
on a way to disarm the multiple copy
feature on this typ>e of machine since the
money spent on new dials is getting out of
hand. The servicemen cannot do anything
anymore to help us other than repeatedly
replacing dials.
Gopier Down Time: This is my favorite
subject because I can't agree more. Gopiers
do break down a lot. Sometimes it's a small
problem that I can fix; sometimes it's a big
problem that requires service calls and
parts to be ordered. However, frustrated
users should consider that these machines
are constantlv used from 7:30 a.m. until
11:00 p.m., every day, all week, all year.
They have thousands of pieople operating
them. Some people are gentle and treat
them gently, but many are not and abuse
them constantly. I have no real complaint
with our servicemen. They respond within
24 hours, usually much less. But with five
different copiers that each have hundreds of
parts, anything can malfunction at anytime.
Like your car, you can't really predict what
or when something will go wrong—you just
try to get it fixed as fast as possible.
Getting New Gopiers: Yes, good idea.
We are getting two new copiers, but they
won't arrive until summer.
The Vendacard: It is better than using
coins, and it is more reliable than auditrons
and that's why we bought it. But it's just
another machine, and along with it comes
different sets of problems: breakdowns due
to intentional tampering, jamming in more
than one card at a time, and banging on the
eject buttons until thev break. These units
have to be sent out for repair. We can't fix
them here. It's a pain for you. and a bigger
pain for us.
Gopiers are great when they work and a
headache when thev don't work. There are
no best copiers or unbreakable copiers. We
do over a million copies a year in the
library and the money goes back into supplies, parts, and purchase of new machines.
But nothing ever works in the trenches the
same marvelous way it works on the
showroom floor especially not copy
machines.
There are no excuses for the problems,
but there are many, many reasons—these
are just a few. I cannot make any
guarantees that the machines will all be
working just right the next time vou come
in. You can be verv sure that the problem is
being dealt with as soon as it's discovered,
and will be fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks for the oppiortunity to tell the
facts from the other side of the copy
machine.

REPORTAGE
Poetry Conference Held
On April 25 and 26, the conference,
"Poetry of Place," was held at R I T in
Webb Auditorium. Organized by the
Caroline Werner Gannett Visiting Pro
fessor, Joel Oppenheimer, the program in
eluded a panel discussion, workshops,
readings by nationally known and local
poets, and time for informal exchanges
among the conference participants.
The conference began with the panel
discussion, "The Roots of Poetrv of
Place." The discussion centered around
three top poets of this century —William
Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and
Charles Olson—and how influencial they
were in bringing about a change in the style
of poetry.
Thursday night, entertainment was provided by writer and author Daphne Marlatt
and reknowned poet David Ignatow.
Workshops were presented Friday
morning, giving students a chance to meet
with poets on a more f)ersonal basis. This
was followed by readings from local poets,
including Larry Ghampoux, Jim Cohn,
Finvola Drury, Bobby Johnson, Peter
Lander, and Streela Ray.
The conference concluded Friday even
ing with readings given by Diane Di Prima
and David Budhill. Fach showed their own
personal idea of poetry of place through
their selected pieces. Budhill brought at
mosphere to the auditorium as he read col
loquial characterizations of Vermont in the
early 60s.
D i P r i m a , through her
lighthearted quality, brought a feeling of
personal warmth through her work.
Oppenheimer concluded, "The reason
for this conference was to bring people
together and see what would happen. I
think it has been a success."

Graduation Next Week
Personalization, pictures, and parents are
three key words to describe RIT's 100th
commencement on Saturday, May 18. Fntitled "Beginnings," the commencement
will feature six separate ceremonies where
the area's largest graduating class of 3,349
students will receive degrees.
R I T President M . Richard Rose said,
" I t is imjxjrtant for RIT's graduates to
leave the Institute on a personal note with
an individual diploma presentation and
personal congratulations from their dean.
It becomes an event that the student and
parent will cherish." In addition, as each
student receives his or her diploma, a color
photograph is taken and later presented to
the student's family.
Rose also pointed out that graduation
is, in a sense, "report card" time for the In-

graduates. It is the success of those alumni
that is the measurement of the Institute's
success. In short, when our students succeed, we have succeeded."
Four ceremonies will occur in the mom

speak at each ceremony, and there will be
no special commencement speaker. RIT's
graduation ceremonies are coupled with a
festive celebration which pervades the en
tire campus. The grounds will be decorated
with banners and flags, and music will echo
from every comer as musical groups will
perform in a number of locations. From 10
a.m. until 2:30 p.m., colleges will host
tours of their facilities and receptions.
Graduation times are: College of
Business, 8:30 a.m. in the Frank Ritter

Eisenhart Honored
The Nathaniel Rochester Society of R I T
honored Richard H . Eisenhart with the
Nathaniel Rochester Society Award on Fri
day, April 26. The award was presented
during a reception in the George H . Glark
Memorial Gymnasium, and is presented annually to organizations or individuals who
contribute to the advancement of R I T or
N T I D in an outstanding or significant way.
It is the society's highest honor. This year,
the award was given in honor of the 100th
anniversary of the Mechanics Institute, said
Jack Smith, associate vice-president for
Communications.
Eisenhart is currently the chairman
emeritus for the Board of Trustees. He
served as chairman from 1976 until 1981.
Mr. and Mrs. Burton August, chairmen of
the society, described Eisenhart as a

to Ottawa, Ganada, for a photo educational
field trip.
On the first day, students visited the Na

Fisenhart's committment to the Institute is
an example of the power of volunteerism."
Eisenhart recommended renovations for
the Gitv Genter and participated in plan
ning for the creation of the School of Ap
plied and Industrial studies. He was in
strumental in creating the R I T Research
GorfKjration, established in September,
1980.
RIT's greatest academic growth came
during his term as board chairman. R I T
President M . Richard Rose presented the
award and said, "Fisenhart's dedication
and vision demonstrated how great a dif
ference a person can make in the life of an
institution. He has given unselfishly to af
feet the growth and development of R I T . "

Party At Spring J a m
RI T's annual Spring Jam will be held at the
Racquet Glub party house on Saturday,
May 11, from noon to 6 p.m. It is sponsored
by the Off Gampus Student Association and
Student Directorate (SD). Two bands. Swing
Set and Backstreet, will be performing, .said
Jim Mvers, past chairman of SD.
The jam will be unique because it is the
first official outdoor event at Racquet Glub
where alcohol will be .served. Although the
area will be hard to secure, it can be controlled, and no alcoholic beverages will leave
the premises. Myers said the money raised
from selling fixid and drinks will be donated
to renovate the old Ixxikstore space.

Math Contest Offered
The second floor will house an informal
lounge, study carols at the top of the stairs,
a T V lounge with a wide-screen television,
three meeting rooms, and the SD offices.
Fight clubs, who currently do not have offices, will be allotted space. The center will
be open until 1 1 p.m.
Students have been cleaning the center
since early in the year. Strode said the In
stitute allocated a 60 thousand dollar
budget for its renovation. Brand new furniture for the lower level will be delivered
later this month, and carpeting will be in
stalled soon. Most of the work will be com
pleted during the summer.
Strode and other student leaders showed
the floor plan to R I T President M . Richard
Rose on Monday. " H e was amazed at how
detailed the plan was and how so many
things fit into the space," Strode said. C^l
The Research and Education .Association
(RFA) academic book publishers, are sponsoring an academic achievement contest for
all students in Galculus I during spring
quarter at R I T . One hundred dollars is the
first prize, 75 dollars is second prize, and
50 dollars is third prize, according to Garl
Fuchs, manager of of>erations at RFA. A l l
students taking Galculus I are automatically eligible. Selections of students for the
prizes will be made by the department
chairman in consultation with faculty
members and will be based on exams, class
participation, homework, and other factors
deemed important bv instructors.
The prizes are being sponsored by RFA
to acquaint students with the Galculus Problem Solver, a comprehensive study aid

method and a Marron Garrel in production. After, the students visited the Ganadian Government Photo Laboratory, which
"was immense," said Pierce.
Ayorinde said the grand finale was a
party held at the Genter for the Hearing
Impaired, where the students met both
French Ganadian and Fnglish-Ganadian
deaf people. The group was interested in
learning the unique French sign language
and participated in walk-on skits on the
club platform.
The students acquired many shots of the
sights in Ottawa, including the Parliament
Building, Ottawa Locks, and a movie crew
filming a French film. "The trip was a very
enjoyable and unforgettable experience as
the students learned a great deal about
photographic opportunities available in the
beautiful city," commented Pierce.
Ayorinde said, " I feel this was an allaround learning experience for both students
and myself. The students learned through illustration the importance of taking care of
one's equipment while traveling, as well as
the benefits of working as a team.

Cuomo And Tutu Lauded
Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Desmond
Tutu and New York State Governor Mario
Guomo will receive two of the four
honorary degrees to be presented at this
year's commencement ceremonies at the
University of Rochester.
Tutu, the Anglican bishop whose
leadership in a peaceful struggle against
apartheid and whose work for better condi
tions for blacks in South Africa, was
recognized with the 1984 Peace Prize.
Baja Team Competes
The Mini Baja club will be competing
against 47 other engineering schools in
Montreal, Ganada, on .May 10 and 11. The
team consists of 18 members who devote
all of their free time to design and produce
the vehicle.
Vehicle design revolves around the use
of an eight horsepower Briggs and Stratton
engine, which is standard for all participants and cannot be modified. John
Sirianni, mechanical engineering major and
captain of the team, said this year's model
is made of polyethylfoam and is covered
with nylon and apoxy. It has an aluminum
framework, weighs 375 (wunds, and has
Tutu will give a brief acceptance response
at the 135th commencement, which will
begin at 9:30 a.m., Sunday, May 12, in the
Eastman Theatre.
Guomo will deliver the graduation
degree address and will be awarded an
honorary doctor of law degree. The degree
will acknowledge Guomo's service to New
York state, especially his abilities as a
negotiator and skill at crisis solving.
An honorary doctor of music degree
will be presented to Ghuck Mangione, the
award-winning composer and recording ar
list, who is an alumnus of the Eastman
School of Music. Anthropologist Elizabeth
Golson will receive the doctor of science
degree. Golson, professor emeritus at the
University of Galifornia at Berkeley, has
won international acclaim for her studies of
social organization in East Gentral Africa
during changes from colonial status to in
dependence.
Approximately 1,060 students will
receive bachelor's degrees from the University of Rochester; more than 1,100 are to
be awarded master and doctoral degrees. D
been timed at 32 miles f>er hour.
"VVe are very optimistic about the com
petition," said Sirianni. "This year's car
has many improvements over last year's."
The improvements include front suspien
sion and no rear suspension, a differential
made from a Torsen gear seat, an
aluminum design instead of a steel design,
and a simplicity lightweight design.
"Weight is the most imjxjrtant objective,"
said Mike Thurston, a mechanical
engineering major and honorary captain.
"This year's car weighs 225 jxiunds less
than last year's."
Gompetition entails seven different
judging events. They include top speed/ac
celeration, braking, hill climbing, land
maneuverability, top speed around the
track, and an endurance race. Last year, the
team finished seventienth because of many
component break downs.
Requirements include a four-|X)int roll
cage, three wheels, a harness for drivers, and
a production cost of under 1,500 dollars.
The Mini Baja is allowed anywhere on
campus, as long as drivers do not endanger
pedestrians or uproot grass. The Mini Baja
club is an extra curricular activity. " W e are
here for the expierience of working with
other engineers," commented Sirianni.
Thurston agreed and added,
"There
wouldn't be much of a team i f it was for a
required course." This is the fifth year of
the club, and anyone is welcome to join. G
Made in America
and built tougher
than ever, the new Baja
in the first
annual
competition
to be held this

CYCUNG
SPEED AND
STABIUTY
BY E R I C BUCKLEY
R
I T is not exactly considered a big
name school when it comes to cycling. In fact, a good many people
are still under the impression that the " R "
on their jerseys stands for Rensselaer (as in
RPI). Things are changing, though, and
after a very strong showing at Cornell
(third out of 24 teams), R I T is starting to
get some respect in intercollegiate cycling.
Enough resf>ect that when they went to the
East Coast Collegiate Championships,
hosted by Stonybrook on April 28, a few
pteople asked us, "You're from Rochester,
right?" A definate forward leap.
Thev went to championships with the
intention of getting some experience and
recognition. As one of the newer members
in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Federation (ECCF), they felt that a top ten finish
would be something to be a little proud of.
Of the forty five schools entered in the race,
there were only three, Stonybrook, Cornell,
and University of New Hampshire (UNH),
that had R I T outclassed. These schools
have always been at the top of the stand
ings. But right below them were about
twenty more schools that all had a shot of a
top ten finish. T o be one of them, the R I T
team would have to pull together.
A week before championships came the
bad news that one of the " A " team riders,
Scott Hollenbeck, had been hospitalized
with a virus. This left R I T with only two
riders in the A race. Since the top three
riders for each school count, this would be
a serious handicap. Our " B " team looked
pretty good. R I T entered six riders in the
" B " race hoping to get at least three of
them in the top fifty. They only had one
woman rider, but this is not an uncommon
problem among the comptetitors.
The course did not have any real hills in
it; just a bunch of small rolls. Because of
this, it was impossible to tell when an
attack might come. Breakaways were being
attempted at all points around the course.
On the tenth lap. Lance Johnson joined a
group of four others that was off the front
of the pack for about a mile. On the next
lap, Eric Buckly reacted to a U N H attack
and sf)ent the next two miles in a two man
break. But the field was moving too quickly
to allow any prolonged breaks.
In the final standings, l ^ N H narrowly
defeated
Stonybrook for first place.
Princeton nabbed third from Cornell by an
equally slim margin. R I T was ninth, clos
ing its most successful cycling season thus
far on a successful note.

lephant and Camel droppings beside
thousands of spilled and emptv beer
cups were all that were left after the
best campus-wide event in R I T history.
The RlTes of Spring began on Friday with
bands, fireworks, a weird artist, outdoor
movies and a comedian who was treated
like an administrator by the rowdy crowd.
What a day Friday was, everyone was
there, administrators included. R I T felt
like a real campus, with real student involv
ment and participation. Missing were the
stereotypical apathetic students. It was
refreshing to socialize outside, and not at
Greek, floor, or apartment parties. As the
day progressed, the events attracted more
and more RITites.
Thousands of dollars in pottery and
crafts were sold in the College-Alumni
Union. Hundreds of people made an ap
pearance at the happy hour and the
numbers swelled to thousands,
yes
thousands for Denny Dent, Robert Klein,
the fireworks, and a quad blast.
Denny Dent is a unique character.
backstage he chugged booze with a blond
groupv, while on stage his manager, obviously lit on something besides beer, raffled a Dent original to be won by a
youngster certainly not old enough to ap
preciate the art. His paintings came "from
the heart." Unquestionably there was no
other place a painting created with the
drama and sound of loud Springsteen,
Hendrix, and Jagger could come from.
Robert Klein was not well received. He
was unwilling to pierform in front of a
drunken college crowd. Perhaps i f he had
arrived on time things would have been dif
ferent. He challenged one particularly rude
future Resident Advisor and had him forci
bly removed. The inspiration and spontaneity so necessary in a stand up comedy
act were missing. Although this should
have been the most popular event of the
weekend it turned out to be the one sour
note. Particularly distasteful was Klein's in
sistence that the audience sit. Sitting on
beer soaked asphalt certainly did not help
the disf>osition of the crowd.
Perhaps most impressive were the
fireworks. Standing near the Hettie L .
Shumwav Dining Commons one could
hear a bonafide cheer from the thousands
who were seated on the quarter mile slope
as the finale blew up above their heads.
Area residents must have been pleasantly
surprised by the uncharacteristic R I T spirit
so visible in the pyrotechnics.
A carnival-like party in the Kate
Gleason quad on Saturday made for more
partying under some surprisingly sunny
Rochester skies. Baloons strung on wires
between buildings added touches of color
to the everpresent red bricks. The good
weather, music, and company was a
refreshing break from the rigors of the end
of the quarter blues.
Hats off to the students who worked so
hard and who pulled off the unforgetful
weekend. Especially the members of the
College Activities Board who hopefully are
planning a similar event to welcome all of
us back in the fall.

R: I laughed very hard, but l f o u n d myself

controlled myself. He was pathetic, l k n e w
he would b e pathetic. He was so dazed he
did n o t have sense e n o u g h e v e n to be
afraid, a n d he wasn t partlculary humiliated
or anything else. I k n e w f r o m m y experience that this was a bad Idea w h e n i
heard a b o u t It, outdoors, no admission,
those things psychologically a r e bad. Y O U
are better off charging 50 cents, b u t y o u
c a n t outdoors, it was a big blast, it was n o t
appropriate to w h a t i do.
R: The RIT students do n o t g e t this kind of
thing very often. Not m u c h goes o n o n
campus.
K L B N : NO, I understand It Is a terribly long
w i n t e r a n d all t h e rest, but I k n e w It was a
bad Idea, i a m just saying that i t u r n e d
d o w n s o m e t h i n g for twice t h e m o n e y In
Florida s p o n s o r e d by Coca-Cola. This w a s
closer a n d m o r e convenient f o r m y
schedule. I knew It would be chaos In Ft.
Lauderdale. Fifteen thousand In an outdoor
s p o t all completely drunk. This was a
miniature one. I t h o u g h t m a y b e It would be
better controlled. Then, w h e n i started, I
k n e w t h e r e was going to be a problem.
They w e r e very enthusiastic w h e n i c a m e
out, b u t t h e n they didn't quiet d o w n .
R: What Is your philosophy o n c o m e d y ?
What makes people laugh?
K L E I N : I don't know. I don't think there Is
any o n e thing that people would laugh at.
AS a stand-up comedian, i use every arsenal I
can. The main o n e Is, of course, m y voice,
a n d material, but I use m y body a n d i use
up t h e stage, in m y work i try to reach a
certain c r e s c e n d o a n d quietly lay a punch
line or s o m e t h i n g o n t h e m , a n d they
scream. Here you couldn't d o m u c h sublety.
I was just trving to s h o u t above t h e c r o w d .
The din w a s Incredible, it never, ever
quieted d o w n a n d I k n e w It too. Approaching, seeing t h e beer truck and all
that, people going back a n d forth, carnival
a t m o s p h e r e , w h e n y o u have people o n t h e
fringes It Is n o t conducive.
R: Did y o u enjoy yourself a t all tonight?
K L B N : Not really, it was t o o hard, it was t h e
m o s t unusual thing, in fact, t h e r e was a
crackling of laughter In all t h e right places.
It was unusual because In this din of loud
talking a n d yelling out, a loud constant
noise, t h e r e was an Incredible response of
laughter, in o t h e r words, t h e audience that
w a s listening a n d paying attention was as
g o o d as any audience, a really g o o d one.
I r e m e m b e r years ago i w a s opening for
a band or s o m e t h i n g at t h e university of
Cincinnati. I w a s performing In t h e basketball stadium. There was a loud din always
a n d t h e r e was a lot of drinking and ruckus. I
w a s a last minute replacement. A n d then,
everything was diminished In half, N O o n e
really r e s p o n d e d well to t h e material. Here,
t h e y w e r e responding beautifully, but
against It was this backdrop of constant
noise.
I'm n o t a prude, a n d I'm n o t a teetotaler, but It sort of makes y o u a little
disgusted w h e n people are t o o out of control a n d stuff, i really wasn't as m a d as y o u
think I was. I saw that I could do something.
I didn't w a n t to c o m e up to Rochester a n d
stand t h e r e for five minutes a n d spilt. They
w e r e all like prisoners let loose In t h e yard. I
k n o w that feeling. Audiences really do cut
loose at m y shows, it Is a great experience
making people laugh, t h e y love It. I o n c e
did t w o hours and forty-five minutes at t h e
University of North Carolina. They loved It
a n d I kept going, but this kind of cutting
loose Is simply Inappropriate to w h a t I do. I
broke a lot of m y o w n rules: outdoors,
spring w e e k e n d , long w i n t e r In Rochester,
no admission, i had a m a d feeling d e e p Inside. I'm serious. I don't think I can
r e m e m b e r anything quite as disorderly. I
was n o t as m a d as y o u t h o u g h t t h o u g h
because t h e overall majority of t h e people
t h e r e w e r e t h e r e to enjoy t h e show. I h o p e
t h e y did.

Valium is a common cure. Other
synonymous nomenclature are the
boob tube, the electronic fireplace,

a contempirary fantasy island.
Controversy is washing up on its
shores. Especially the possible link
between violence on television and
violence in reality. Reality is when a
punch in the face creates black and
blue smears, a knife slicing through
flesh really hurts, and a bullet
discharged from a gun can cause
death. Presently, the controversy is in
a stalemate. Violence, in varying
degrees, will remain in television. The
reason: violence is a highly dramatic
element and arouses the viewer.
It is time to take out our
psychoanalytical micro.scopes
and
focus on the events that occur between
All My Children, Knighlrtder, and
Dynasty— commercials. Commercials
are moments to acquire food to digest,
to visit the all important lavatory, and
to he lawfully brainwashed by cars,
make up, and c lothes. There is no
doubt that television technology has
made commercials an incredible
audio visual ex|)erience. Technology is
the fact. The dramatization of truth is
the fallacy.
.\lTAmerican hubby enters the all
American home, greets his all
American family, and eats an ailAmerican dish. Super hunk gets
super hunkess thanks to the chemical
cologne he is wearing, twins are hav
ing a ball chewing gum, college kids
surf and drink carbonated, orange
aphrodisiacs, teens rush to a fast food
restaurant to have hamburgers and
happiness, and an animated tiger
shows how sugar-coated life can IKhad bv eating sugar coated cereal.
That is the truth on ' T \ ' , but not
the reality. Eife is so idealized on the
screen. In the Book, according to TV,
chapter 10, verse 10, purchasing
plastic material will bring one ah
solute, unadulterated happiness. Hav
ing the right kind of c ar, the right kind
of clothes, and eating the right kind of
food is supposed to build status and
respect. The success syndrome is so
potently portrayed on T\'. TV com
mericals do not recognize failures and
those who come in second.
Youth is heavily illustrated. A par
ticular cream will make a woman
younger, toothpaste will make your
teeth whiter, and playing face invaders
with benzyl peroxide will eliminate
unwanted facial marks. To be voung
means to look young in the world of
commercials. Character and ethics
cannot he shown through special ef

The old are still stereotyped. The
very few commercials that contain
them show that they are satisfied with
everything. In reality, the old are
heavily neglected and rarelv placed on
a [)edestal of admiration. Many are
discarded
in institutions. 'Their
valuable accumulation of experience
and wisdom is gently but mercilessly
tucked away. Minorites are minorites
in commercials. One comedian said
that there are more dogs and cats in
commercials than blacks. And, finally,
the alTAmerican family. Dad, mom,
sister, and brother have this eternal
smile. There are no cjuarrels, divorces,
or fighting. In reality, the most
reported violence is among family
members.
The primary intention of the commercials is to attract and entice the
viewer to purchase their products or
services. It is an economic purpose. In
the background of the sales pitch is a
false, idealized conception of life. Having a sportscar, (iucci garb, stark blue
bluejeans, sparkling diamonds, multi
pie earrings on one solitare lolx",
phosphorous sneakers, slick haircuts,
radiant lipsticks, polarized shades, and
the ultimate stereo system does not

Blood Simple—Clever H a s t i n e s s
If vou are the tvjx" of person who likes
the grisly, murder storv thrillers with a
little malicious comedy thrown in,
then this is the film you have been
waiting for.
Blood Simple is unlike the predict
able throat slashing, gut stabbing hor
ror movies that leave you with a nor
mal pulse rate. Instead, this film takes
hold of your senses and leaves you
with the feeling that you are the victim
of a gruesome murder. The violence in
Blood Simple is designed to force the
audience to actually feel the murder.
Obviously, this film is definitely not
for the squeamish.
The film is .set in a small town in
Texas where bar owner Julian Marty
(Dan Hadaya) suspects his wife .Abby
(Frances McDormand) of sleeping
with Ray (John Getz), who happens to
be a bartender at Marty's place. So,
Marty hires a sleazy private detective.
named \ isser (.\I. Emmett Walsh), to
knock them off. 'This is the point
where the double cross begins, for the
detective has other ideas. This fiend
ishly complex plot gets even better as
it moves along.
*Only the audience
knows who is killing
who and why.*
But there is a sort of dark humor
about the whole thing, twisting scenes
of intense emotions into uncon
trollable laughter. Only the audience
knows who is killing who and why,
while the characters remain in the
dark.
Walsh is terrific in the role of the
slimy detective. He adds a new meaning to the word " v i l l a i n " because he is
sleazy, obscene, and tacky. Hadaya, as
Marty, is no better than the rotten
detective. He is just as slimv and
mean.
Directer Joel Coen presents an in
teresting visual style to the film. It is
the camera, whether it follows the
characters through a party or passes
smoothly down a bar counter and over
a passed o u t customer, which actually
participates in the action. Crx'n and
his producer brother Ethan co wrote
the script. They have an amazing flair
for taking apart and piecing together
the ^ standard murder mystery and
transforming it to a modern thriller.
Blood .Simple is just full of clever
nastiness that will leave you gasping
for air. It is no less than the most cap
tivating original thriller this vear and
well worth seeing. — K R I S A R G E N T O

any people have misconceptions of what the Reserve
Officer Training Corps (ROTO)
is all about. The Army's ROTO program is designed to train and
prepare an individual to accept a
commission in the Army while he
earns a bachelor's degree.
This entails, among other things,
leadership, first aid, and weapons
training. To test their abilities and
also to have some fun, field training
exercises are held. The senior
cadets, the MS-4s, run the 78
member company and are responsible for the planning and execution
of such training operations. During
this trip, however, the MS-4s let the
MS-3s take command to give them
an idea of what they will have to do
next year. Within the company are
the ranger platoons. The rangers are
"highly motivated cadets who desire
to receive additional training" in
such areas as survival skills or
weapons training. O n c e they
graduate, they have the option to
join a Ranger batallion or join the
regular Army.
In
the past,
there
have
been repeling exercises, winter survival training exercises, and cross
country skiing. For the first time, the
cadets had a combined airborne and
waterborne exercise. On May 4 and
5, they had an opportunity to fly in
choppers and then canoe down the
Genesee. The first day was spent
canoeing to a predetermined place,
setting up a camp, and staying overnight.
The training weekend for the ROTC cadets
was not just a lOb.. it was an adventure.
25
The next day, they moved out and continued
down the mighty Genesee to RIT. After setting up
a camp about one-half rr le from the rest of the
company, the rangers went about securing the
area and switched into a tactical mode, which
means doing things without being seen. A night
assault on the rest of the company had been planned. The MS-3 platoon leader got his squad
leaders together and began the careful planning
of the night's operations. They would arrive at the
company camp, steal a canoe, and return to
camp.
A group member went on a reconnaissance
mission with the platoon leader, in which they
proceeded tactically through the woods to the
river, within 50 yards of the company camp. They
slept in a ditch for 45 minutes while waiting to
make the strike on the camp. When they did attack, they just waltzed in, but the people who
were "dead" did not stay dead and continued to
harrass the attacking rangers. Despite this, the
operation was a success, but the rangers did not
go for the Sargeant Hughes option. They then
retired for some needed sleep.
At 06:00 hours the cadets awoke and got
ready to strike camp. They met up with the rest of
the company for the canoe trip back to RIT. They
were waterborne by about 07:30, and reached
Ballantine bridge by 11:30. The Rangers took a
five minute rest and then marched back to RIT
from the landing area near the Castle Inn. The
cadets felt the trip was challenging and a worthwhile experience. They look forward to future outdoor events.
By land, by sea, or
by air, training
excercises are
designed to sharpen
leadership, first aid,
and weapon
handling
techniques.

The R I T women's softball team wound up
their season last week. As thev swept a
doubleheader against Elmira and split a
doubleheader with Hamilton.
In the first game against Elmira, R I T
capitalized on the 18 walks thrown to
them. K i m Eisenried, Chris D'Onofrio,
Becky Martin, and Sandy Redder all had
RBIs. Becky Martin was on the mound for
the Tigers and gained the win. She walked
only four batters and gave up two earned
runs. The final score was 10-3 in favor of
RIT.
The second game proved that the Tigers
have the ability to produce runs when given
the chance. Everyone at hat had at least one
hit. Eight players drove in runs with Red
der leading with four. Lynee Hessinger had
three RBIs. Deanna Semple went all the
way for the win, allowing two earned runs.
The final score was 21 10.
R I T continued their streak against
Hamilton in the first of two. They heat
Hamilton 13 2. Redder had three hits, in
eluding a triple that scored a run.
Unfortunately, the Tigers could not
finish the season off with a win. They lost
the second game 5 3. That put their record
to 10 1 1 1 . R I T was rated twelfth, but only
the first eight teams were picked for post
season play. Overall, coach Janet
Assenheimer has to he happy about the
teams play and revived spirit. R I T has a
strong returning base for next year, so
hopefully they can achieve some of coach
Assenheimer's goals, which include a .500
record and a spot in the playoffs.

University (112), R I T (104),
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (102), and
Hobart College (16).
As dominating as Ithaca was in overall
team depth, there was no school at the meet
that could match RIT's strength in the
distance events. Tiger distance runner Paul
Ruston outran some of Division I l l ' s best
runners as he captured the 5,000 (31:50.8)
meter and 10,000 (15:25.4) meter Runs.
tured the Long Jump for the third consecutive year as he leped for 21 feet, five
and a half inches. Teammate Joe Crichton
placed second, one inch behind. Crichton
then went on to place third in the High
Jump, jumping six feet. The Shot Put saw
Mike Hocter and John Geiss place fourth
and fifth. The field event scoring was
rounded out by Chris Flaherty, as he placed third in the Javelin with a toss of 160
feet, three inches.
The overall Tiger scoring was completed by R I T ' s 400 and 1,600 meter
Relay teams as they placed fourth and fifth.
Jim Pasquali and Mike Nier finished four
and fifth, respectively, in the 10,000 meter
Run.
In the 5,000 meter Run, John
Wagner finished third, Don McGrath
fourth, and Nier sixth .
Both Wagner and McGrath nearly missed qualifving for the Division I I I Nationals
in their stronger event as Wagner placed second in the 1,500 meter Run in 3:58.7 and
McGrath finished second in the 3,000
meter Steeplechase in 9:21.8. The Tigers
domination in the Steeplechase continued
as Dale Foster finished third, Greg House
fifth, and Steve Wood sixth.

Baseball T e a m Loses Another D o u b l e h e a d e r
The men's baseball team dropped another
doubleheader, this time against State
Universitv of New York (SUNY) Cortland,
on May 2, at Cortland.
The consistent pitching of Bill Spath was
not enough to defeat the Cortland team, as
R I T fell 15 in the opener. Spath pitched a
complete game in the first half, allowing on
ly four earned runs. The Tiger's offense
never got off the ground, as they were shut
down to onlv four hits in the game. Dave
Merriman went two for three at bat, Joe
Markiewicz had one hit and one run scored,
and Iaiu Dickinson went one for two.
In the second game, the Tiger offense
was able to score on four hits. Spath, Rob
Ray, Chuck Renckens, and Mike Webb
each singled, and Jeff Swarlhout and
Markiewicz scored runs on walks drawn.
The R I T pitchers had another tough time
holding down Cortland's home run pace as
.Ari Daum amd Mark Leese together vield
ed three home runs. Daum was taken out in
the first inning after giving up two runs,
and Leese allowed six more as the game
ended with a score of 4-8.
The Tigers face SUNY Oswego at home
today in a doubleheader beginning at 1:00
p.m. On Monday, the team faces a hard hit

Athletes of the Week
28
Don Balch
Sandy Redder
Jim Frisk
Don Balch is the type of lacrosse player
every coach wants in the lineup. Last
week, the senior midfielder's hustle and
all-around play guided the Tigers to victories over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), LeMoyne, and Cortland.
For the week, Balch, from Congers,
New York, collected four goals, three
assists, and 15 ground balls. He also
won 11 of 15 key faceoffs. Twice in the
Cortland game, Balch brought R I T
back from one goal deficits to knot the
score. Balch had 19 points and was winning 60.7 percent of his faceoffs. He is
majoring in packaging management.
Sandv Redder put on a batting and
fielding clinic last week to help guide
the women's softball team. They took
two from Elmira and split a pair with
Hamilton. In the Elmira doubleheader.
Redder scored four runs, hit a grand
slam, and walked four times. Against
Hamilton, she had two triples and
scored two runs. In the field, the junior,
from Sodus, New York, was flawless,
handling 14 chances in the four contests. The co-captain and packaging
science technology major completes the
year with a .301 batting average. Her
fielding average is an outsunding .968.
With a strong singles campaign, junior
Jim Frisk has earned a trip to the
N C A A Division I I I Tennis Championship next week. The Horseheads, New
York, netman closed out the season
with impressive first singles victories
over opponents from Binghamton and
Hobart. In the Hobart match. Frisk collected a two-set decision (7-5 and 6-3)
over nationally-ranked Greg Evans.
Frisk finishes the regular season with a
9-2 dual match record and a 10-4 overall mark. Frisk is majoring in computer
science and played number one singles
and doubles throughout the year.
