SAB concert plans nixed by team practice
Time and money still there for more attempts at large act
BY DAVID FITZGERALD
If the Student Activities Board is successful, the Jerky Boys will not be the only concert in Alfred this year.
Alfred State College has signed the Jerky Boys to perform during this academic year. At AU, concern has been raised in recent weeks that SAB's ability to bring a concert to campus is in jeopardy.
Administrators say that students
should not worry. Steve Harpst, director of student activities, said that, while "there are no certainties in rock and roll," the chances of signing popular talent are over- whelmingly in the students' favor.
Harpst noted that SAB has enough time and money to attract at least one big name to AU.
"We started the process [of seek- ing talent] earlier this year, more acts are touring, and the group [SAB] is committed to making the
students happy," said Harpst.
Gerald Brody, dean of students, concurred: "From what I under- stand, the chances of getting not just one but maybe two concerts is very good."
SAB has been attempting to sign an undisclosed artist to perform in the McLane Center during December before finals.
The artist in question accepted SAB's bid to perform. However, Harpst discovered that McLane
Homecoming arrives on a clear day
More than 100 students, including these Sigma Chi Nu sisters, marched in the re-scheduled Homecoming Parade from the Powell Campus Center to the football game at Merrill Field.
BY JONATHAN SPRINGER
Alan Dirlam moved from Alfred to Florida 10 years ago. He still returns every September. This year he was able to attend AU's Homecoming festivities before catching a plane home Sunday.
Dirlam received his masters degree f r o m AU and taught English and humanities at ASC.
His son Kier graduated from AU in 1987.
Homecoming festivities Saturday managed to squeeze into one of the few clear days Alfred had over the past week.
Almost 100 students and staff
members trooped down Main St.
in the annual Homecoming parade.
The turnout was expected, said Beth Larrabee, who coordinated the parade.
The parade started half an hour later this year. The move was m a d e to eliminate lag time between the parade and the start of the game, said Dan Napolitano, assistant director of student activ- ities.
A fire engine and an ambulance preceded several cars and floats in the parade. The Wellsville High School marching band brought u p the parade's tail.
Student groups and sororities decorated floats in accordance to this year's Homecoming theme,
"There's n o place like Homecoming."
The winning float from a Greek organization w a s Delta Zeta's papier mache ruby slippers.
Student Alumni Association won best student organization with a car made u p to look like a shaggy white dog using shredded back issues of the Fiat Lux. Their float was labelled "Go Saxons! Toto St.
Lawrence!"
Tim Stahl and Andrea Grata were named Homecoming King and Queen. •
Gym was not available because of a scheduled women's basketball practice, that practice being one day before a home game. Consequently, SAB could not approve the artist for that concert date.
"It is common knowledge that our facilities are very taxed," said athletic director Hank Ford in a summer interview. Ford was mere- ly referring to the athletic demands

Organization for Green Living to renovate 16 ParkSt.
BY MICHELLE PANCOE
The Organization for Green Living will be in the pink this semester.
The g r o u p plans to install insulation in the n e w Environmental Studies House at 16 Park St. as part of its efforts to demonstrate an environmentally sound w a y of life, OGL presi- dent Dan Seiss said.
OGL is a social and education- al group focusing on environ- ment-friendly living, Seiss said.
The g r o u p h o p e s to u s e the Environmental Studies h o u s e for events and as a m e e t i n g place.
OGL's goal is to have at least one Environmental Studies House improvement project per semester. They hope to use the house to demonstrate products and procedures like low-flow showerheads and caulking.
OGL is not AU's only environ- mental organization. They and Alfred Earth Watch have decid- ed to support each other and plan joint projects and activities, said Kari Jermansen, OGL secre- tary.
"Although the groups have some different goals, both orga- nizations w a n t to benefit and serve the c o m m u n i t y well,"
Jermansen said.
OGL meets Monday nights at 9:30 in the Environmental Studies House. All students are welcome to attend.a
LAS fails in bid to acquire Phi Beta Kappa
BY JENEEN E . LEHOCKY
For the fourth time since 1985, the Phi Beta Kappa Society has declined to grant a chapter to AU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Christine R. Grontkowski, dean of the college, said that the applica- tion process is triennial: "We applied in 1994 for a chapter in 1997," she explained.
If Phi Beta Kappa's Committee on Qualifications feels that a col- lege shows promise, Grontkowski said, they will then arrange for a site visit to that college.
"They would have arranged for a site visit by 1995," Grontkowski said. "We did not make it to that step."
In 1988, AU was rejected because of insufficient attention to the for- eign language program and an insufficient honors program, Grontkowski said.
"By 1991, w e had almost dou- bled the honors program,"
Grontkowski said. Enrollments for language classes were higher, but there was no language requirement at that time, she said. However, the Committee o n Qualifications rejected AU's 1991 application.
Grontkowski said that by 1994, the college had a foreign language requirement, and the honors pro- gram had tripled in size since 1988.
"I thought w e were in good shape this year," she said.
Nevertheless, in April 1995, Phi Beta Kappa rejected the college once again. Douglas W.
Foard, secretary to Phi Beta Kappa, wrote, "The committee was per- . suaded, on the basis of the materi- als you provided, that it would not be able to convince the requisite two-thirds of the delegates attend- ing our 1997 Council that a chapter should be granted to Alfred
University."
Foard said he was willing to
"offer you further detail on the committee's disposition of your application."
Grontkowski said that Louis K.
Greiff plans to meet with Foard in Washington this January to discuss AU's application and further options.
Greiff, a professor of English and Phi Beta Kappa member, is the chair of the faculty Phi Beta Kappa members at AU.
"The next step," Grontkowski said, "is to consider whether or not w e want to apply in 1997." •

Media turned six arrests into Greek issue
DEAR EDITOR,
I wish to address an article and an editorial that have appeared in the last two editions of the Fiat Lux. First, the article entitled
"Sorority arrests lead to Greek cri- sis meetings" in your September 13th edition, it stated that "the arrests took place in the Pine Hill Suites." This is incorrect. The w o m e n involved t u r n e d them- selves in to police. Next, does the headline (as stated previously) reflect the basis or foundation of the incident? NO. What occurred w a s that six women, w h o were members of a sorority, allegedly threatened another student. Why doesn't your headline reflect the import of your article?? Why did the Fiat Lux feel the need to turn it into a "Greek issue" as compared to addressing the issue as one of alleged violence? Other than these two improprieties, the arti- cle w a s actually very fair and non-judgmental.
The editorial that appeared in the September 27th edition, though, is another story altogeth- er. It is an opinion that is based u p o n ignorance (i.e., lack of knowledge) and inaccuracies. The statement that I turned the arrests into a "Greek issue" by calling an emergency meeting is, at best, preposterous. Who m a d e it a Greek issue?? It w a s m a d e a
Greek issue at approximately 7:00am that morning when the radio station m a d e the announce- ment that the w o m e n arrested were members of a sorority at Alfred University. It w a s further m a d e a Greek issue w h e n the Hornell Evening Tribune and the Fiat Lux published articles that either, via the storyline or the headline, m a d e it a Greek issue. If you wish to blame someone, have the courage and integrity to blame yourself.
As in any small community, rumors and misinformation can become the norm. The "emer- gency" meeting w a s called for two reasons: 1) to provide accu- rate information to the Greek Community and 2) to discover if the Greek Community wished to respond in any way. The Greeks acted in a very m a t u r e a n d responsible manner by releasing a statement that not only addressed an important issue (i.e., violence) on any college campus, but that did not j u d g e the individuals involved (nor the organization to which they belong) until all the facts were known. You could have learned a lesson in fairness and o p e n - m i n d e d n e s s f r o m AU's Greeks. Instead, you chose to triv- ialize their response.
Additionally, I wish to point out the following errors in your editorial. First, it states that m y
title is Director of Greek Affairs. It is not. My title w a s changed to Assistant Dean of Students approximately 15 m o n t h s ago.
Second, it states that I "called emergency meetings of the Inter- Greek Council, Panhellenic Council, and the Greek Presidents' Council." Allow me to point out that there was only one meeting involving the Greek Governance System. Last, but not least, the Inter-Greek Council has not existed at Alfred University since December of 1993. It was dissolved by a vote of the Greek membership and replaced with the Panhellenic a n d InterFraternity Councils. These mistakes could easily have been avoided if you had taken the time to gather the facts.
When you are a member of a highly visible and active group, such as a Greek organization at AU, the public can be very quick to pass judgment before all the facts have been presented. As far as I am concerned (and I believe the Greeks would concur), the sit- uation has been resolved and w e have moved on. Why can't you do the same?
Sincerely,
Paul W. Kingsbury Assistant Dean of Students

Come out, come out wherever you are
BY MICHAEL S . ZARKIN
Today is National Coming Out Day, a day dedicated to support- ing people w h o need to say the one most difficult sentence in the English language.
I am gay.
Coming out is the process of realizing that you are gay and that there is nothing wrong with it. It was the hardest thing I have ever done.
My coming out process started when I w a s 13 years old. I knew then that I wasn't straight.
Of course, I knew that I could- n't be gay. I
am not effeminate. I do not lisp. I do not have a limp wrist.
I d o not meet any of the s t e r e o t y p e s of being gay.
I couldn't be gay-
I am a Republican. I am an obser- vant Jew.
There are n o J e w i s h
Republican homosexuals (other than my uncle Howard), so I obviously couldn't be gay.
All through junior high school, high school and my first two years at AU, I denied w h o and what I was. I didn't like "fag- gots." I w a n t e d t o beat u p
"queers." If I was homophobic, I Gouldn't be gay.
However, things b e g a n to change. I couldn't maintain the deception indefinitely. I gradual- ly came to realize who and what I am. I slowly began to see that there was nothing wrong with my being gay.
As I began to accept w h o I am, I began to lie about it. I didn't want anyone else to know my secret. I wanted to fit in, to have everyone think I w a s straight. I lied like a rug.
I came to the realization that lying all the time is not easy. I was overwhelmed by the con- stant stress of monitoring every-
661 couldn't maintain the deception indefi- nitely...! slowly began to realize that there was nothing wrong with being gay.
thing I said and did to ensure that m y secret w o u l d n ' t be exposed.
Something had to give way.
Either I would have to stop being gay or I would have to stop lying.
I couldn't stop being gay.
Being gay is not a choice: I never asked to be gay. But I am.
So I had to stop lying about it.
1 practiced saying the sentence "I am gay" in front of a mirror to see if I could actually say it. It took m e a few months of practice to get that sentence out of m y mouth. Even then, I could only whisper it. It took even longer to say it at • a n o r m a l s p e a k i n g voice.
After I came to see that there w a s nothing wrong with m y gay- ness, I resolved not to lie any- more. I had to d o the hardest thing imagin- able. I had to tell m y par- ents.
By last summer, my parents had a suspicion that I might be gay. My d a d said that he didn't want to make the same mistake as other relatives w h o threw out their gay sons.
I took my hints from that. Last year, m y d a d again broached the topic, saying that if I had any- thing to say, he would listen.
And that night I did it.
I said "I am gay" to m y father.
His only response was to h u g me and say "I love you." I made it through the hurdle of telling my parents.
After clearing that obstacle, I proceeded to come out to m y friends and the people I work with. I never looked back at the closet I left.
Today, on National Coming Out Day, I can only urge you to offer your help and support to anyone w h o wants to stop lying and comes out to you. a

Cross-country runners deserve AU protection
BY D A V I D FITZGERALD
It was gratifying to see a home cross-country meet at AU again. Unfortunately, it was as scary as it was heart-warming.
I was displeased to witness a university vehicle, a pick-up with the AU logo on the side, turning left out of the Harder Hall parking lot onto Pine Street in the middle of a string of runners, one or two of whom altered course for their own safety. Now, the truck wasn't going to hit them, but when you are in the process of run- ning five kilometers, the last thing on your mind is dodging cars.
Although a woman with a
flag was controlling traffic by the Village's one traffic light, travelers on campus were likely unaware that competitors were on the roads. Apparently, uni- versity-authorized drivers were equally ignorant.
The only other individuals on the race course were directing runners, not traffic.
It was chilling to see cars zoom by varsity athletes on the run. It was dangerous to be a cross-country runner at the Alfred Invitational. Perhaps the athletic department forgot how to administrate a cross-country meet. I sincerely hope that in the future they do not forget the safety of our students and our guests. •
Faculty Senate should also benefit students
BY JONATHAN SPRINGER
Three Fridays ago, AU faculty took the first formal step in creating a faculty senate.
For faculty, the new senate would mean an increased say in University policy-making.
For students, it would create a new channel of communication between themselves and the administration.
Currently, students' channels of communication to the administra- tion are limited in power.
Student Senate, while good at representing student organizations and their interests, lacks serious clout in higher administrative deci- sion making.
Gerald Brody, dean of students, is only one man and he is responsi- ble for executing student policies as well as for creating them.
A faculty senate would give those faculty members interested in the welfare of AU students a forum in which to do something.
The proposed faculty senate would have powers in areas rang- ing from admission and graduation requirements to selecting University presidents and adminis- trators.
Students would be especially affected by the faculty senate's pro- posed ability to recommend criteria
for promotion and tenure.
The senate would almost certain- ly recommend increased emphasis on teaching and decreased empha- sis on research when considering professors' applications for promo- tion or tenure.
Such an increased emphasis on teaching will benefit students.
The faculty senate proposal also states that the new senate should assist in forming and overseeing policies relating to student life which influence oraffect academic life.
While one can argue that such a power should be beyond the range of a faculty senate, students should not discard such a power out of hand.
Enough faculty members sin- cerely care about students that a powerful faculty senate would ben- efit us.
However, in order to make a fac- ulty senate work for us, we need to show interest in a faculty senate.
Ask your advisors how they feel about the senate. Ask them how much power they think it should have.
Tell them your concerns. Tell them how you think the faculty can best serve you.
The faculty senate may represent the people who now teach us, but they were once students, too. •
General meetings are on Mondays at 5:15 pm in the Student Organization Suite,
Powell Campus Center.
If you can't make it to this meeting, just stop by the office anytime and we'll be glad to talk
with you.
If you're interested in writing, selling, bookkeeping,
copy-editing, computers, graphic design or trivia...
We need you!
Student offended by alcohol abuse at FNL
D E A R EDITOR,
Friday Night Live was originally created to offer late-night non-alcoholic entertainment on cam- pus. I have always supported this attempt.
What concerns me is the folks who feel they cannot enjoy FNL without being drunk. For some reason, people feel the need to drink before (and sometimes during) FNL. I don't really understand why, but that's not important.
I would like to state at this point that I am not against drinking. I feel that people who can drink responsibly should be allowed to continue to do so within the correct forums.
It is distracting to hear the clinking of bottles and the occasional exclamation when someone spills a drink. I know security is there to prevent such occurrences, but they cannot see and hear everything at all times, particularly because it is dark in the audience.
For those who drink before the show, I under- stand that you are doing it on your own time and most likely in a correct forum. But, if you show up at FNL incapable of controlling yourself in public, you are a nuisance and often intolerable. What I am particularly concerned about is people throw- ing up during the show—it happens often! The smell is thoroughly distracting and unpleasant.
Personally, I would be thrilled to pieces if peo- ple could refrain from drinking before the show, but I consider myself a realist. What I am asking for is that if you feel the need to drink before the show, please be more responsible. I am also ask- ing that folks refrain from bringing alcohol to FNL. There is no need for it.

Computer services found other ways to save
D E A R EDITOR,
Computing Services has received numerous questions resulting from the Sept. 6,1995,
Fiat article "Commission closesbudget gap." I would like to take this opportunity to stop the rumor that Computing Services will not supply paper to the computing rooms this year.
The Commission on Planning reviewed many scenarios for saving budget dollars. They did an exceptional job and made a number of difficult decisions that affected everyone at the University. Computing Services was given a budget cut total that would be required to meet with the Commission's plan For"
balancing the budget along with a number of suggestions for meeting that savings. The final choices on how that bud- get cut was to be implemented in Computing were left to my discretion.
It is indeed true that one of the suggestions from the group was to eliminate the $5000 from
the supplies expenditure that covers laser paper and ink car- tridges in the computing rooms. It was one of several cuts that were required of Computing Services. The Commission was aware that the cost of paper has doubled in the current year. As an insti- tution, Alfred University has had many years of continually increasing amounts of paper that we print and distribute at ever-increasing costs for all of our constituencies. (Last year we printed over 1.8 million pages.)
We have worked in Computing on a variety of ways to eliminate extra copies of reports, reduce our depen- dency on customized forms and reduce the cost of supplying ink cartridges. As a result, we were able to make up the supply cut requirement without eliminat- ing the services to computing rooms in the current year. We chose to make the cuts else- where.
Computing Services will con-
tinue to provide what we con- sider to be a valuable service to our students and make savings cuts in other ways for as long as we can do so. We may come to a time when the services we make available will require reduction or some assessment for access ... but it isn't now. I do ask your cooperation to reduce your printing where you can. Print only a FINAL copy of your papers. Use a copier if you are in need of more than one copy. These efforts may seem minimal, but the cumulative effect is a big one.
I thank you for the opportu- nity to respond to the article. As always, I welcome questions and feedback on how Computing Services is meeting your needs and expectations from the Fiat Lux and from each of the students.
Sincerely,
Connie L. Beckman Director,
Computing Services
Yearbook left out three recognized sports
D E A R EDITOR,
Yesterday, I happened to pick up this year's Kanakadea yearbook and was deeply disturbed when I noticed that men's tennis was missing from the sports section.
I looked some more and noticed that the ski team and the equestrian team were also missing.
Men's tennis had been in the yearbook every year. Last year's omission was a slap in the face to me, a three-year varsity tennis player. I was deeply insulted.
Why were we left out? We practice every day.
We travel to other schools and we represent Alfred University. We are an official NCAA Division HI team. We put in just as much dedica-
tion, sweat and hard work into our sport as every other team on this campus.
It is a gross injustice that the men's tennis team, the ski team and the equestrian team were not included in the yearbook.
I would like to make clear that the current year- book staff is not to blame for this mistake. The co- editors have done an excellent job attracting new members and they are actually ahead of schedule.
I hope next year's Kanakadea will not exclude recognized sports teams.
Sincerely, Jacob Cooper Varsity tennis player
Fiat shouldn't print Pav's satires as letters
D E A R EDITOR,
In its editorial policy, the Fiat Lux states that it "reserves the right not to print any letter." The Fiat should have exercised this right in the cases of two letters to the editor by Steven E. Pav.
Instead, the Fiat printed two letters from Pav, one in the Aug.
31 issue and the other on Sept.
27. These letters discussed the possibility of Alfred University modifying its schedule and time management system to accom- plish such goals as fitting 75-
minute classes into 50 minute blocks. And while these satires on AU's new scheduling system are entertaining and humorous, they have no place in the Letters to the Editor section of this newspaper.
Letters to the Editor should be reserved for legitimate and suc- cinct compliments and/or com- plaints concerning either mater- ial printed in the Fiat Lux or events and issues concerning Alfred University and students.
Pav's letters address an important issue at AU, but do so
in such a way that they would be much more suited for humor or satire. Perhaps allowing him to write a column for the Fiat would be a better solution than wasting space that could be used for serious letters—letters written for the purpose of bring- ing matters to attention rather than making fun of them with ridiculous commentary.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Baum

SENATE UPDATE
BY MICHAEL S . ZARKIN
At its last two meetings, Student Senate raised two items of new business. Both were requests for Special Allocation funds.
The Sigma Alpha Mu fraterni- ty requested $800 for its Dance-a- thon to aid the Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Last year, the event raised $1,200 for the charity The request was approved unani- mously
The other request was from the
Senate's Multicultural Committee, which sought $207 to
rent three University vans for transportation to the Festival of Nations being held in Syracuse on Nov. 11. The request was approved unanimously.
Budget hearings for returning organizations were held this Sunday, Oct. 8. New Student Olympics continue, with Barresi Hall in the lead.
...SAB large act plans
continued from page 1 on McLane Center.
Neither Brody nor Ford were consulted before Harpst rejected the concert offer. President Edward G. Coll Jr. and student senate pres- ident Jake Cooper were not con- sulted either.
Brody met with Ford on Oct. 5 to discuss the availability of McLane Center for a concert event. Brody said that the meeting went well and that both he and Ford expressed commitment to a con- cert this year.
No concert materialized last year, despite the efforts of Harpst and Curtis Habib, last year's large act chairman.
A member of the SAB executive board said the group has already suffered setbacks in attempting to sign big-name talent this semester.
A bid earlier this fall to one undis- closed performer was rejected.
Now another concert date, on the brink of an agreement, is in doubt.
SAB still has the rest of the acad- emic year' to attract talent, and many popular artists will be tour- ing before May including Better Than Ezra, Alanis Morissette and Bush.
The student senate allocated
$18,635 for large acts. That amount combined with unspent funds from the last fiscal year is poten- tially sufficient to pay for two con- certs on campus. Revenues from a sold-out concert in McLane with
$14 tickets could total $20,300, but only $16,800 is expected in the SAB budget. In other words, a popular concert here could produce a prof- it, and two concerts are not out of the question.

Once again it is midterm week, that wonderful time of the-year- which is the largest cause of stress known to students (with one exception—finals week). Of course, you may not have midterm stress if you are taking an easy semester, filled with courses like badminton.
There are many commonly accepted stress-relievers includ- ing as talking to friends or exer- cising. I would like to suggest a few alternatives which I have found to be helpful:
1. Running in the rain: This is definitely dependent on the weather, but I believe it is one of the best things around.
Preferably while it is dark out- side, run around, jump into pud- dles and basically try to get as wet as possible. It is best to wear an old pair of sneakers since this activity can be hard on bare feet.
It is definitely better if you can find another person to join you; a contest to find the biggest a n d / o r deepest puddle is always fun.
2. "Vacuum" your rug with duct tape: I would rather not tell the story of how I discovered this housekeeping method.
Suffice it to say that after making rolls of duct tape for an hour and crawling around your floor, even if you're still stressed out, your carpet will be cleaner.
3. Cartwheel down the hall- way: This may be considered a
"hall sport," so make sure you do this in the appropriate areas, or get an RA to join you.
Continue doing cartwheels until you run out of breath or become so dizzy that you fall over. For those who can't do a cartwheel, plain sprinting always works well too.
Next time you are feeling stressed out, why npt try one of these suggestions? I hope the next time it rains at night, I'm not the only one enjoying this won- derful stress-reliever.

Tartuffe a spotty production, in a good way
but once the audience became involved in the play, it added to the comedy.
Costuming was combined with other ele- ments, namely set and characters' actions, to give Moliere's play, written in the 17th century, a modern feel. One doubts that actions such as Tartuffe's pelvic thrust with clenched fists, com- bined with a triumphant "yes!" were in the orig- inal version.
On a deeper level, the play comments on the hypocrisy and self-interest sometimes hidden in characters like Tartuffe. But despite such a heavy message, the audience leaves with smiles on their faces. •
Kiki Smith works with students to create exhibit
Artist-in-residence will open her show today in Fosdick-Nelson Gallery at 4:30p.m.
Kiki Smith examines materials and the body
BY M E G A N ALLEN
She called herself "pretty lazy" and said that she often changes her work w h e n she finds her original plans too hard.
Nevertheless, Kiki Smith has become an internationally k n o w n artist. In a lecture on Oct. 3 to an audience which almost filled Holmes A u d i t o r i u m , Smith s h o w e d a n d explained slides of her work.
Smith, w h o at 41 has two bright pink streaks in her hair, has been using the body as her
subject matter, looking at everything from specific organs to body fluids. Recently she has found this too limiting, and has begun to deal also with dandelions, wolves, birds and doilies.
She listed some of her influences: her Catholic upbringing, political prisoners she once visited, mythology, history and even pornography shops.
Smith has worked with many types of mate- rials, and stressed that artists should use a variety, since "they all have different mean-
ings."
In fact her slides were arranged according to materials, which included fiberglass, clay, porcelain and paper. Smith uses many objects considered unpopular, such as light catchers and beads, and she stressed the importance of bringing back these old materials.
"A lot of it is greed - 1 w a n t to learn how to do that too," Smith said.
The lecture ended with "I don't know, that's it, good-bye" from Smith, and was followed by a short question and answer period. •
BY REBECCA ROBERTS
Kiki Smith, a mixed media sculptor, has been an artist-in-residence at AU for the past two weeks. The Robert Turner student gallery has been her primary studio space, but she has been using facilities in printmaking, ceramics and glass throughout the school.
Smith said art is a way to make sense out of her life. She chooses subject matter depending on what is currently happening in her life.
Kiki Smith
Mixed-media sculptor Kiki Smith, originally from N e w Jersey, is the daughter of well- k n o w n sculptor Tony Smith.
Before going to art school for one and a half years, she tried attend-:
ing baking school and living in California with a rock'n'roll band-
Smith has taught at New York University, Yale University, and Tyler School of Art. She gained national acclaim with her
"Project Room" at the Museum of Modern Art.
Smith is the first artist-in-resi- dence for the 1995-96 Visiting Artists and Speakers Series enti- tled, "Art, Social Concerns and the Approaching Millennium."
Luke Jacobs and Scott Macmillan dazzle audi- ences in the production of Tartuffe last weekend.
For the past fifteen years, Smith has centered her work around the subject of the body. Over this past year, she started to "claim more space" by incorporating nature with the figure and the body. Her interest lies in the blurring and the separation between the two. In this respect, the work she is making here in Alfred is relatively new.
Most of her work would normal- ly be made out of metal, but Smith is choosing materials appropriate to the facilities and the short two weeks she will be here. Her experi- ence is with metal, glass and non- traditional sculpture materials such as paper. She welcomes this chance to experiment with computers and ceramics facilities unavailable to her on a regular basis.
Kiki Smith is only the third artist- in-residence to work at Alfred in recent years. Gerar Edizel, chair of the visiting artist and speakers series, said that having an artist-in- residence like Kiki Smith gives stu- dents who tend to idealize well- known artists a sense of perspec- tive. They are given the chance to watch and work with an artist who is connected to real-life concerns.
Students have helped and assist- ed Smith, whose work will be on display in the Fosdick Nelson Gallery. The show, "Kiki Smith: A Solo Exhibition," opens today at 4:30 p.m. •
Katja Fritzsche (left) and Kiki Smith (center) talk while Jackie O'Halloran (right) prepares to Inspect a print fresh- ly pulled off the press. Smith, who normally works with more sculptural materials, has not limited herself at Alfred and has taken advantage of many of the art department's facilities, including the printmaking studio. Smith's exhi- bition will open today at 4:30 p.m. in the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery In Harder Hall.

The audience left Tartuffe seeing spots. That is leopard spots. On leopard boxers. This scene and many others quickly made the performing arts department's production of Tartuffe, directed by Stephen Crosby, a play worth seeing, one the audience awarded with a standing ovation.
Tartuffe, evil villain and lead character of the play, was played by freshman Luke Jacobs. From his first scene to the final act, Jacobs held the audience in the palm of his hand. His stunts, antics and sly, mischievious, yet knowing glances
to the audience kept the audience howling.
Dorine, a sassy opinionated housekeeper, was colorfully portrayed by Sara Birk. She provided a spark of life in the slower moments of the play.
Scott Macmillan put in a. solid performance as Orgon, the conservative, upper-class patriarch.
He never lapsed, leaving the audience feeling that he was that character.
It was sometimes difficult to understand two of the minor characters, Damis, played by Joshua Ihissell; and Mariane, played by Danielle DiPillo. The two freshmen were overzealous in their roles.
Initially the rhyming dialogue was distracting,

Even superstar Lofton sweats landing a job
B Y D A V I D F I T Z G E R A L D
Graduating seniors sweat over landing a job.
NFL superstars also sweat over landing a job.
Former Buffalo wide receiver James Lofton is n o w a football analyst for C N N . Prior to that h e w a s an Academic All-American at Stanford and eight-time Pro Bowler. Going from one to the other wasn't that easy.
"The tough part w a s trying to land a job,"
Lofton said of moving from one career to the other.
After being chosen by Green Bay as the sixth pick of the 1978 draft, Lofton capped his rook- ie year with a Pro Bowl selection and Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Even then, Lofton said, "I thought to myself, 'I need to hurry u p and retire so I can get into broadcasting.'"
With 15 games being played and four studio format programs being produced each week, there are only 51 TV broadcaster slots on the air
weekly. Lofton has one, lending commentary to Carolina preseason games and a PAC-10 preview in addition to his duties at CNN.
"You try and bridge the gap between ath- letes and journalists," Lofton said of his n e w career, noting that those two parties often dis- agree.
Lofton admits to having role models. "I think Dan Dierdorf is pretty good," he said. H e also has considerable respect for H o w a r d Cosell. " H e changed sports broadcasting as w e know it," Lofton said.
Despite moving on, Lofton has fond memo- ries of his playing days.
"It w a s really nice to have m y kids able to see m e play," Lofton said, relating that many players w h o marry after they get into the game retire before their children are old enough to be football fans.
While Lofton played most of his seasons for Green Bay, he played most of his wins inside a
Bills uniform, and w h e n he becomes a hall of famer, he would like a Bills helmet inside the display case. "If I do get in, the time in Buffalo will have p u t m e over the top," Lofton said.
Lofton also commented on Bills fans. "This is a community that lives and dies by its team.
It's kind of a parental relationship where the Bills are the kids and the fans are the parents."
Surrounding the recent NCAA rules change that banned helmet removal and anything more than momentary endzone prayer, Lofton added, "When something is ingrained in someone, you have to go overboard [to change their behavior]...There's too much junk going on." Lofton hopes the intercollegiate rules will modify actions by NFL players in the future, toning d o w n the showmanship and returning sportsmanship to the game.
Lofton w a s the guest speaker at last week- end's Alfred University Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet. •
"I saw whites crying. But been crying, our people have been crying for over 400 years... There's been a lot of rich people—rich whites, rich Jews who have gotten off, too. And they had the money to get off. So what's the difference with O.J. Simpson?"
—Packers star Rev. Reggie White. He later apologized for these remarks (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
"Slim Fast is pretty potent as far as when it gets in your system. Then it comes out, and when that happens it is not good to be sitting near Tommy."
—Dodger Eric Karros, asked about Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda's use of the diet product (Tonight Show, NBC).
"You see these playoff tickets? They look to me like rap [concert] tickets.
It's got everybody confused. They should be red, white and blue.
What's brown have to do with baseball? They all look rappy."
—Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott on the brown ticket design for the division series in L.A. (Los Angeles Times).
"Who's that guy pitching? Will you look at all that hair. He could never pitch for us."
—Schott, watching Randy Johnson in last week's Angels- Mariners game (Los Angeles Times).

Women's tennis falls in final match against LeMoyne
BY CLARK DICKERSON
The AU w o m e n ' s tennis team entered Saturday's match with hopes of being able to even their final season record at 6-6. Despite several solid Alfred performances, LeMoyne finished ahead in the match point score, 8-1.
The complexion of the Alfred lineup changed from that of previ- ous matches due to the absence of Andrea Grata, who was participat- ing in her coronation as Alfred's Homecoming Queen. This rearranged the entire starting ros- ter, as Grata is the team's number one seed.
In the first doubles match, Alissa D o d d s and Beck Srikoulabouth
found themselves against a formi- dable team in LeMoyne's Jaime Lechase and Erica Svenheim, who eventually won, 6-2,6-2.
Alfred scored their lone match win in the second doubles match as Jane Johnson and Savita Budhu overpowered LeMoyne's team, 6-4, 7-5.

set b y Billy Ruffle f r o m 1984-87.
Alfred University h e a d coach Ken H a s s l e r said, "This w a s clearly the best g a m e of the year for u s in terms of play and atti- tude. The team has h a d difficulty with injuries b u t w e ' v e risen to the occasion."
In the opening m o m e n t s of the game, AU d r e w first blood w h e n senior m i d f i e l d e r Scott Miller scored a goal off a direct kick.
Moments- later the Lions answered back with their o w n goal on a free kick b y Kevin Reinhardt. That w o u l d b e the only score for Behrend as the
Saxons s n a p p e d their four game winning streak.
Miller said, "This w i n w a s something w e needed. The team has been struggling, b u t tonight w e played with a lot of heart and it certainly paid off."
Newly inducted AU sports hall of famer Charlie Gilje w a s on h a n d for the victory. Gilje returns to Alfred annually, but seldom has the opportunity to observe the soccer team in action. "The level of skill has improved," Gilje said of the decade since his grad- uation. High praise f r o m an Ail- American. •

With first seed Andrea Grata across the Kanakadea being crowned Homecoming Queen, the Lady Saxons were hard-pressed in singles competition versus LeMoyne
Saxons overwhelm SL
Derek Comestro returned the opening kickoff 37 yds, south to the Alfred 45.
That's what it was like all day as
Lawrence, 42
BY DAVID FITZGERALD
The Saxons excited the crowd early, taking less than four minutes to get on the board.
Senior AU quarterback Scott Taylor was fac- ing third down and four but found sopho- more wide receiver Tom Callen open. The pass was on the money and Callen made a 42 yd. touchdown of it, the Saxons' biggest gain of the day.
Taylor would be six of ten for the day going to the air for 83 yards.
The offensive line allowed just two sacks while helping Comestro and Max Freeman to five rushing touchdowns. Comestro covered 138 yds., Freeman 98.
Freeman found the end zone twice in just over six minutes, bounding in from 36 yds.
late in the first quarter and seven yds. early in the second.
Then it was Comestro's turn. Calls of "Yeah D.C.!" issued from the sideline as Comestro tore at the St. Lawrence defense carry after carry. His efforts yielded touchdown charges of 32,10 and 15 yds.
"It feels good," Comestro said. "Especially at Homecoming."
Alfred's special teams have had their prob- lems this year, but you would not have known it Saturday.
Punter Chris Zanghi only had to appear four times, and averaged over 39 yds. per
kick.
Allen Kosanovich highlighted the first quarter when he dumped St. Lawrence return man Damian Ruof on his own one yard line following Zanghi's longest punt of the day, a 42 yd. shot.
The ensuing series typified the Saxon defensive performance. The Saints went nowhere. Three and out.
St. Lawrence punter and backup QB Mike Hartman kicked the ball away more times than he attempted to throw it after going under center in the third quarter. Hartman punted ten times and failed to get the ball away on another occasion. The Saxon defense allowed only 108 yds.
Linebackers Charles Hopkins and Jim Hartke were dropping Saints all over their own backfield, splitting eight tackles for loss- es.
The starters were given the final quarter off, and while some spectators left, most remained to see the underclassmen go to work on offense.
Roddy McCoy completed his only pass attempt to Whitesboro's Kevin McDonald for 39 yds. Junior Bill Marks took five carries for fifteen yds.
On defense, junior Jason Primrose and senior Art Pluta combined for ten tackles in the latter stages of the game, a few of them behind the line of scrimmage. •

(left) With Max Freeman and Derek Comestro playing in front of him, Cam Wyatt's (17) opportunities to carry the ball are sometimes scarce. But how can any coach not give the ball to someone who runs a 4.52 forty? Wyatt took eight handoffs Saturday, battling for 29 yds. (above) And did we mention that Wyatt can block, too? With help from Wyatt and the offensive line, Max Freeman (22) makes it abundantly clear in the first quarter that a rushing-oriented Saxon offense would be successful against the visiting St. Lawrence Saints.
