Neo-Nazi 'Turns Away from Hate'
Event Date: 2007-02-08 00:00:00.0 Event Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Orvis Activities Center, Alfred State College
After 15 years as a neo-Nazi activist and recruiter, Tom "TJ" Leyden experienced a profound change of heart, turned away from hate, and began teaching tolerance. How can a man who covered his body in Nazi symbols, advocated for the death of Jews, and recruited teenagers into the hate movement become one of the nation's most compelling advocates for the importance of diversity and cultural appreciation?
Visit the link below for a sample clip of TJ's message.
This program is sponsored by the Cultural Life Committee and co-sponsored by the Residential Life ISM Team, Student Life, Alfred Programming Board (APB), Rainbow Union (RU), Black Student Union (BSU), the Residence Action Council (tRAC), and Student Senate.
For additional information, contact the Alfred State College Office of the Dean of Student Life at 587- 4371.

Chemical waste removal
A chemical waste removal will occur during the week of 02/19/07. Both hazardous (regulated by EPA, DEC, or other government agency) and non-regulated (not regulated by said agencies but not approved for local landfill or drain disposal) waste will be accepted for removal.
The waste must be received in your Central Accumulation Area by Friday 02/16/07. NYSCC contact Kenny X2460 or Shanti X2497; the rest of AU contact me X2450 to arrange for receipt of waste.
In order to obtain an estimated cost for the removal I will need a list (log sheet) of your waste sent to me by 02/08/07. You may still add waste to your list after the 8th, if necessary, but I need to know what the majority of the waste will be by 02/08/07. E-mail me for waste log sheets.
Contact me with any questions.
