Senate convenes without a constitution

Student leaders present goals and objectives for the year

BY JONATHAN SPRINGER

Student senate opened its first meeting of the year without a constitution, but with plans for the future.

The senate executive b o a r d presented plans for revising the senate constitution, discussed Tanya Matos, and presented the senate's goals for the next year at the senate's first meeting last Wednesday.

Constitution to b e revised The the senate constitution w i l l b e r e v i s e d t h i s y e a r , announced Desi Rivera, senate president, at last Wednesday's cabinet meeting.

"The c o n s t i t u t i o n h a s b e e n revised since 1988-every year,"

said Leslie McElheny, senate sec- r e t a r y . T h e " r e v i s e d "

c o n s t i t u t i o n is a f o l d e r filled with notes f r o m five years of committee meetings.

"There isn't really a constitu- tion to revise," said McElheny.

• The cabinet may choose to scrap the r e v i s i o n s a n d s t a r t f r o m

s c r a t c h or to w o r k f r o m t h e framework built by past admin- istrations.

" W e ' r e d e f i n i t e l y w o r k i n g around a framework, not from scratch," said Oceana Wilson, student senate vice president, but Rivera and McElheny both said that the decision would be left to the discretion of the cabi- net as a whole.

The lack of a constitution has affected senate meetings as well.

"It's like there are ten drivers in one car with no steering wheel and everyone's playing with the cigarette lighter," said Wilson.

"We're just trying to be fair and follow the trends," Rivera said of the lack of a governing d o c u m e n t at m e e t i n g s . " W e work from the consensus of the senate and the old exec board."

At last Wednesday's meeting, the scheduling of senate meet- ings was changed to bi-weekly meetings with mandatory com- mittee meetings in the off weeks by the exec board. There was no vote by the full senate.

The most recent version of the constitution that the Fiat was able to obtain, from 1991, stated

Alfredians exchange views on violence

BY SARAH GOODREAU

Attempted suicide, is the most violent "crime" at AU, Gerald Brody told a community sympo- sium addressing violence last Sunday.

Kathy Waite, school counselor at Alfred-Almond Central School, said that there is also a rise in self-mutilation. Students who suf- fer so much anguish that they no longer feel pain arouse feel- ings with razors, pins, self-tatoos and knives.

Students new to Alfred, espe- cially t h o s e w h o ' v e f e l t oppressed, may use violence to cover f e e l i n g s of i n s e c u r i t y . Carlyle Hicks, a senior, said that the stereotype of a rural commu- nity is of "pick-ups, shotguns, and a white sheet in every closet."

M o s t violence, h o w e v e r , is caused by alcohol. Arnold Hence, vice-president of student affairs at Alfred State College, said that three-fourths of all violent inci- d e n t s i n v o l v i n g s t u d e n t s are alcohol-related.

Randy Belmont, Chief of Police, said that in addition to alcohol, m a r i j u a n a , a n d s p e e d crack, cocaine, and LSD are becoming more prevalent.

Brody and Hence said that they each have new programs to curb these problems. Brody plans to hire an alcohol educator and to implement more alcohol educa- tion.

Hence dons dungarees, frater- nity colors and a baseball cap and follows "liquid courage" to its roots. He lets students know that he cares about them, but "they

have to learn how to be part of the community."

Some residents expressed con- cern over r u m o r s that ASC is accepting students with criminal records.

Hence said that applicants with criminal records "have served their time and are trying to get an education, so each must be decided case by case."

Belmont said that the police receives photos, prints, and infor- mation about anyone on parole.

He's had one case in the last year and a half.

Crime in Allegany County is one of the lowest in the state, Belmont said, and crime in Alfred is only half of that in Wellsville, yet Alfred is about 80 per cent students. •

Suit claims departure was coerced, seeks damages

BY DARCIA HARRIS AND MICHAEL ZARKIN

A f o r m e r p r o - fessor has filed a l a w s u i t a g a i n s t AU in w h i c h h e a l l e g e s t h e U n i v e r s i t y

"coerced" him to resign, v i o l a t e d his contract as a tenured professor a n d d e n i e d h i m salary, c o m p e n - s a t i o n a n d benefits after June 30.

In a summons filed July 5 with A l l e g a n y C o u n t y S u p r e m e Court, Thomas Evans, former associate p r o f e s s o r of music, claimed AU officials forced him to resign after a student "com- plained to the University" about him on Nov. 22.

Neither the student nor the n a t u r e of the c o m p l a i n t w a s identified.

In the lawsuit, Evans said he met with AU representatives w h o informed him on Nov. 29 that if he did not resign, "the prosecution of the student's alle- gations could turn 'ugly.'"

Further, Evans alleged that AU officials told him that if he pursued an investigation of the complaint ' " t h e result w o u l d still be the same as resignation, only worse.'"

When asked about his resig-

Thomas G. Evans

nation in an interview last year, Evans did not mention a stu- dent complaint.

T h e J a n . 26, 1994, issue of Fiat Lux r e p o r t e d that Evans said,

"I just felt it was the right time to leave. The height of m y job market r u n s f r o m n o w u n t i l a b o u t t h e e n d of M a r c h and I need to get in shape for it."

Last S a t u r d a y Provost W. Richard Ott said that Evans' resignation was "totally voluntary."

Evans, when asked if the stu- d e n t ' s c o m p l a i n t w a s one of sexual harassment, refused to comment and said, "Speak to m y lawyer."

Edward J. Wagner of Wagner

& Hart in Olean, Evans' attor- ney, also declined to comment, but said that Evans was free to speak about the case at his dis- cretion.

Joyce R a u s c h , a f f i r m a t i v e action officer, declined to com- ment about the lawsuit, saying o n l y , " I t ' s t h e p o l i c y of t h e University not to comment on litigation."

As of last Thursday, AU had not responded to Evans' sum- mons. •

AU receives grant

Drug and alcohol educator to be hired

BY MEGAN ALLEN

"AU has become increasingly aware of problems caused b y abuse of alcohol and other drugs on its residential campus," read the first line of an alcohol educa- tion grant proposal.

T h e FIPSE ( F u n d f o r t h e Improvement of Post Secondary Education) grant is a two-year

$133,646 grant from the National Department of Education to pro- vide alcohol and drug education on campus. A U r e c e i v e d t h e g r a n t b y u n d e r g o i n g a l e n g t h y a p p l i c a t i o n p r o c e s s , which i n c l u d e d s u b m i t t i n g a detailed description of how the

money would be spent.

Gerald Brody, d e a n of stu- dents, a n d Associate Provost Susan Strong provided statistics for the g r a n t f r o m a 1992 in- house survey that showed "90 percent of s t u d e n t s said that almost all their friends d r a n k a l c o h o l , " a n d "49 p e r c e n t believed that drinking was a seri- ous problem on campus."

When asked if AU had alco- hol a n d d r u g problems, Paul Kingsbury, assistant dean of stu- dents, said that it "continues to be one of our biggest concerns, but it's a concern everywhere."

Proof of purchase

Local merchants keep underage buyers honest

BY JONATHAN SPRINGER

Merchants in Alfred have been closely examing IDs for the past two weeks. Not all have been real.

Martha McGee, co-propri- etor of Express Mart said she had seen 30 fake IDs by last Friday night.

" T h a t ' s a little m o r e t h a n usual for the first two weeks of school," she said.

There was an arrest made at Uni-Mart for a fake ID the first n i g h t A U w a s in s e s s i o n ,

C i n d y K e l l e h e r , U n i - M a r t manager, told the Fiat. Uni- M a r t h a s a l s o h a d at l e a s t thirty people try to buy beer with a fake ID.

Neither merchant turns peo- ple in to the police for a first attempt to pass a fake IDr as long as the customer cooper- ates.

" W e u s u a l l y w r i t e t h e i r n a m e d o w n a n d tell t h e m ' D o n ' t d o it a g a i n , ' " s a i d McGee.

A p r o f e s s o r i n o n e of m y c l a s s e s r e c e n l t l y e q u a t e d drinking coffee to a religion, e s p e c i a l l y a m o n g s t college students. A religion-perhaps n o t - b u t a necessity remarked a fellow student.

For m e , t h i s is t h e t r u t h . C o f f e e d o e s n ' t c o n s t i t u t e a religion, b u t a ritual and defi- nitely a necessity. Making my m o r n i n g c u p of c o f f e e h a s b e c o m e s u c h s e c o n d n a t u r e that I d o n ' t even realize I've done it until I h a v e a steam- ing ceramic cup of black rich c o f f e e in m y h a n d s . T h a t ' s h o w I begin m y day.

Plain old regular coffee has a l w a y s b e e n m y preference, but I have been recently intro- d u c e d t o f a n c i e r c o f f e e s : flavored coffees, cappucinos, mochas, lattes, and espresso.

W h i l e I ' v e t r i e d s o m e of these classy coffees, I really didn't know what made them different from the regular cof- fee I make every morning, or get d o w n at the Jet. So I set out to d o some investigative work.

So for all of you w h o drink classy coffees without know- i n g w h a t e x a c t l y y o u ' r e drinking, or have never tried one, here's a reference guide t h a n k s to t h e n i c e o w n e r s d o w n at Classic Espresso.

Espresso is the essential ele- ment in all of the other coffee creations. Espresso is usually

t w o a n d a quarter ounces of concentrated coffee that packs the same p u n c h as a full cup of coffee. This is strong stuff.

A c a p p u c i n o h a s t h r e e ounces of f o a m y milk on the top of an espresso. A lattee is an espresso with five ounces of s t e a m e d m i l k , t h a t i s n ' t quite as foamy as the milk in a c a p p u c i n o . A m o c h a is a l a t t e w i t h a b i g s q u i r t of chocolate syrup.

Into of any of these, includ- i n g r e g u l a r c o f f e e , y o u c a n a d d f l a v o r i n g s , s u c h a s hazlenut, mint, or raspberry.

The nice thing about all of these is that you can get them i n A l f r e d a n d t h e y ' r e n o t overly expensive.

Classic Espresso is a great p l a c e w h e r e y o u c a n r e l a x a n d read the p a p e r in a nice atmosphere that's not coffee- shop trendy. They have great o r i g i n a l c e r a m i c m u g s a n d w h e n y o u o r d e r y o u get to pick which one you want.

The L'il Alf Cafe also h a s f l a v o r e d c o f f e e s , e s p r e s s o s a n d c a p p u c i n o s . It's a g o o d place to stop in between class- es to get that quick caffeine boost.

I definitely suggest giving these all a try. M y p e r s o n a l favorite is a hazlenut cappuci- n o . A n d m a k e it a d o u b l e . But if f l a v o r e d coffee is n o t y o u r thing, go help yourself to a cup of great Jet coffee. It's cheap and it's good, and you can get it to go.

While the numeric sequenc- ing of Matczak's images seems an afterthought, the order and sequence in Danielle Ranalli's p h o t o g r a p h s is e s s e n t i a l t o their presentation.

A l t h o u g h h e r i m a g e s a r e s u b j e c t e d t o less p r o c e s s i n g and alteration than the works of Arnold or Matczak, intellec- tual method and process play a p i v o t a l r o l e in t h e i r b e i n g viewed.

Many of the photos document h e r site specific geographical work and the way it changes or m u t a t e s o v e r time. W h e t h e r photographing how the rising tide affects the way one views a r o w of rocks on the beach, or t h e v a r i o u s p a t h s c h o s e n b y s n a i l s a r r a n g e d in a r o w , Ranalli's work not only records her activity b u t sincerely con- veys her passion for exploring time and change.

Unlike the other work in this d i s p l a y , t h e p h o t o g r a p h s of O w e n B u t l e r d o n ' t s e e m t o deal with process.

Although most of the images are arranged as diptychs, their c o r r e l a t i o n t o e a c h o t h e r is unclear a n d all b u t dismissed by the preceding artist's state- ment.

The work of Charles Arnold is seen directly u p o n entering the gallery a n d p r e s e n t s t h e viewer with rich textural, often g r a p h i c r e p r e s e n t a t i o n s of sculptural still-lifes created b y the artist specifically f o r t h e images.

A n i n f o r m a t i v e a n d s e n t i - mental introduction by former RIT colleague Patti A m b r o g i serves to preface his work and working methods as much as it explains the somewhat compli- c a t e d t e c h n i c a l m e t h o d s e m p l o y e d t o c r e a t e t h e m o n o c h r o m a t i c i m a g e s .

The images present- ed by Elaine Matczak, like Arnold, are care- f u l l y p l a n n e d a n d subject to a series of d ì f f e r è W p r o c e s s e s before a final print is

achieved. While most of t h e c o l o r i m a g e s lack critical f o c u s , a certain atmospheric or e t h e r e a l q u a l i t y p e r - vades the series.

Dear Editor,

Create your college experience

We're only two weeks into the school year and there's already a flurry of activity on campus.

Greeks have been greeting freshmen, making and posting banners for each house and running information booths about rush events.

SAB (Student Activities Board) h e l p e d r u n Playfair and hosted two comedians to date.

IASU ( I b e r o - A m e r i c a n S t u d e n t U n i o n ) h a s already posted flyers and begun making plans to host entertainers.

WALF started its second year of 24-hour pro- gramming with new advisor Joe Gow. They've already trained new DJ's, posted the schedule, and planned publicity for future events.

Student Senate held its first meeting of the year last Wednesday and presented a list of twenty goals they hope to achieve during the course of the year.

Friday Nite Live is gearing u p for its homecom- ing weekend season debut.

Dan Napolitano, assistant director of student activities, is working with students in an effort to

make this year's early Homecoming a success.

Steve H a r p s t , director of s t u d e n t activities, Napolitano and Tracy Haskins, secretary, helped students and organizations adjust to the fully operational campus center.

Everyone seems to be of one mind this year; we want to make things happen, now and through the rest of the year. And, if you're a freshman, now is the time to get involved and get out and do..

Student groups are looking for new members right now.

There isn't a better way to feel like a part of your college community than to get involved with Homecoming preparations.

The events at the campus center keep happen- ing, one right after another.

Take advantage of what AU has to offer-the col- lege experience.

BY JONATHAN SPRINGER You are being b o m b a r d e d by invitations right now.

Perhaps you haven't noticed, b u t since you arrived on cam- pus, student organizations of all kinds, from Forest People to.

things to do with your body. I certainly w o u l d n ' t w a n t you to m i s s y o u r p r e c i o u s Bills game, or Mug Night, but don't you think you could spare an h o u r or so to try s o m e t h i n g out?

At last Wednesday's student senate meeting, the attendees could fit into the first t h r e e rows of Nevins Theater. N o

one seems to be interested in the organization that distributes

$140,000 in f u n d s to other stu- dent activities.

H e r e at t h e Fiat, w e n e e d writers. The bigger our staff, the better our p a p e r , b u t nof m a n y people, want, to spare, the time to do the job.

A n d w h y should you join an organization? You w o n ' t get any m o n e y . If y o u ' r e lucky, your name might appear in the minutes or in a byline. Hardly a reward for hard work.

Ask any professor what good extracurricular organizations are. They'll tell you "resumes and grad school applications."

Activities seperate the grown- u p s f r o m t h e k i d s a n d t h e wheat from the chaff. In an era

w h e n grad schools take five percent of the applicants they receive, one good activity, like S e n a t e , W A L F , Fiat, F o r e s t People, WIC, A P O , SAB, or another makes a lot of differ- ence in h o w your application appears..

You can have fun, too. Most organiztion meetings are f u n to a t t e n d . T h e r e a r e a f e w exceptions, b u t just the right member could perk u p a lot of meetings.

Bye-bye, First Amendment

BY M I C H A E L S . Z A R K I N

Isn't it great to be an American? To live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. To live u n d e r t h e p r o t e c t i o n of t h e F i r s t Amendment's guarantee of free speech.

Unless, of course, the First Amendment doesn't protect you and your words.

L e t ' s f i r s t t a k e a l o o k at w h a t t h e F i r s t Amendment actually says. It states, "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."

Pretty strong words, aren't they? "Congress shall make no law..."

And we all know that no means no.

Once u p o n a time, h o w e v e r , a debate w a s fought over the meaning of the word "no." Those w h o interpreted the Constitution strictly said that "no" does, in fact, mean "no." Those w h o interpreted the Constitution less strictly said that "no" means "some," or, to borrow a phrase from George Orwell, that all speech is free, but some speech is freer than other speech.

Of course, the less strict interpretation won.

That is w h y we today have laws that abridge

the freedom of speech.

It is illegal to publish libel.

It is illegal to incite people to riot.

It is illegal to speak treason in time of war.

There are prohibitions against speaking eth- nically derogatory words in some communities.

There are prohibitions against u s i n g the words "condom," "abortion," and "masturba- tion" in some school districts.

Now, doesn't this seem odd? Where are the strict constructionalists of today?

W h a t e v e r h a p p e n e d to the d e b a t e over whether free speech can be curtailed?

Today's debate is merely over what kinds of speech can be prohibited.

Some on the left w a n t to p r o h i b i t " h a t e speech," whatever that may be. They also want to prohibit pro-life activists from trying to talk women out of abortions.

Some on the right want to prohibit any men- tion of sexual matters in schoolrooms. They also want to prohibit doctors and counselors from mentioning abortion as an option.

And they all ignore the First Amendment.

I guess "no" doesn't mean "no." •

I would like to clear up an issue cm Greek life once and for all. I was slightly offended by your last article on Greek life and community ser- vice. Your opening statement was something like Greek life is not all parties, according to Paul Kingsbury. Actually, it is quite the opposite.

1 have been a sorority sister going on five semesters now. Pledging has been the best experience for me per- sonally. I have found companionship, the value of unity, and a home here in Alfred. There is nothing like sitting down to a meal with my sisters to discuss/gossip about the events of the day. Well, maybe chopping wood in the winter for the fire together, painting our homecoming sign together, doing community service together, shov- eling snow together, laughing and crying together or experiencing new traditions comes pretty close. I get to celebrate every holiday of each of our different religions and have learned to appreciate and under- stand diversity. I have also never spent a night tearing my hair out trying to decipher impossible home- work, due to the help and encouragement of my sisters.

Living in a house of our own, and preserving it for future sisters, is a very important factor in our lives.

Throwing a party is more work than you think. We have to set up by removing anything that could be damaged or stolen by drunken guests (furniture, phones, food, detergents and cleansers, pictures, remotes, and anything else that is portable). We then each have spe- cific jobs throughout the party, and are expected to be responsible to fulfill our positions. Certain sisters are expected not to drink to be able to spot those causing problems, or to cut off those who have had a lit- tle too much. Afterwards, we clean up the empty cups, cigarette butts, throw-up, chewing gum, and other debris our invited guests leave behind for us. So you see having a party is not such a party after all.

Stop in some time when a party is not going on and see what Greek life is all about the other 99% of the time. You'll probably find us watch- ing our favorite soap, cooking, studying or just hanging out with our sisters having a good time.

Thanks for letting me let off some steam.

Dear Editor,

On Sept. 21,1993,1 signed into law

a new national service program with the same pen that John F.

Kennedy used to create the Peace Corps. When President Kennedy challenged my generation to ask what we could do for our country over thirty years ago, thousands took up the call as Peace Corps vol- unteers.

Today a new generation of young Americans is eager for the same opportunity to make a difference.

So we created AmeriCorps, a bold initiative designed to help restore our American community-neigh- borhood by neighborhood, block by block. The real work of rebuilding America has begun.

This year, 20,000 young AmeriCorps members will provide hands-on, community-based service to meet our nation's urgent educa- tion, public safety, human, and environmental needs. In exchange for a commitment to serve;

AmeriCorps members will receive benefits that can last a lifetime.

They'll get education awards to help them pay off student loans and finance further education. They'll gain practical knowledge that will aid them in many of their endeav- ors. But most important, they will witness firsthand the positive changes participants will help to foster in their communities. With young people leading the way, AmeriCorps will help to bring the American dream within reach of all of our people.

Last summer, we launched a pilot service program to test whether AmeriCorps could truly fulfill its important goals. As a result of our Summer of Service program, 87 par- ticipants in Texas helped to immunize over 100, 000 children.

• Fifty participants-in New York City operated summer day school pro- grams at the Harlem Freedom Schools for 643 at-risk youth. And 74 participants through Boston's City Year program provided educational, health, and environmental services that reached more thanl4,200 peo- ple. If these young and dedicated people can have that kind of impact in eight weeks, just imagine what they could do in a year or two of service to their communities.

I hope that AU students, too, will consider becoming AmeriCorps members and taking part in this his- toric effort. Working together, we can give tomorrow's young people a future of bright hope and infinite promise.

Sexual harassment and assault policies placed under revision

BY DARCIA HARRIS

Joyce Rausch, AU affirmative a c t i o n office, s a i d t h a t the University may institute a new policy to deal with "student- to-student" sexual assault.

Currently, AU handles sex- ual a s s a u l t cases u n d e r the same set of procedures that are outlined in the sexual harass- ment policy.

However, Rausch stressed that although sexual harass- ment and sexual assault cases were handled under a "com- mon body" of procedures, they were handled as "two sets of issues with two kinds of find- ings."

A n d even t h o u g h Rausch said that there were "no prob-

lems per se" with handling sex- to includes President Coll, his t e UJ f d o w n t o

Kelleher also turns away peo- ple with fakes. "When we do, ual assault cases under these

guidelines, she also said that she would like to see a "self-stand- ing" sexual assault policy.

" T h e r e are so m a n y legal issues involved with these cases;

whether they pertain to the legal world as a whole, legal issues concerning the student, issues of confidentiality or the Buckley Amendment. All of these things have to be taken into account,"

Rausch said.

to address their needs. We want to affect the culture here and give s u p p o r t to those w h o d o n ' t drink, and encourage modera- tion and responsible conduct in those who choose to drink."

One of the first steps in imple- menting the alcohol and drug education project will be to hire an alcohol and other drugs edu- cation coordinator.

According to Kingsbury, the coordinator's responsibilities include "looking at the whole population, faculty, staff, Greeks, non-greeks," to see which groups have special needs.

To date, AU has not hired for this position. Susan Smith, assis- tant dean of students, said that there have been few applicants, which may be due to bad tim- ing or the specialized nature of the job. •

that the time and place of meet- ings should be established at the first senate meeting "by majori- ty vote of the Student Senate."

"If there was opposition, we were going to write a proposal and then vote," said Wilson,

"but no one seemed to have a problem."

Matos case closed

The executive board is no longer concerned with Tanya Matos, the former senate vice president who allegedly mis- m a n a g e d s e n a t e f u n d s in performing her duties as multi- cultural week chair.

"That p e r s o n is n o longer here," said Rivera. "We did the best we could to find out what was going on. We did not find any negligence in the appropri- ation of funds. Case closed."

Matos graduated in May of 1994.

Looking ahead

The Fiat asked new students in their residence hall rooms:

"How's your room?"

These are the answers:

Cris Wagner, David Buleza and Amy Corman, Cannon residents

"We're kind of upset. There's no carpeting, only one phone line to a room, and no ether- n e t h o o k u p s . We w e r e promised all of these things.

The rooms are large enough, but loose furniture would be better. Having the furniture attached to the walls makes it hard to do anything creative.

The beds are surprisingly com- fortable. The rooms we have are not as good as what we saw when we visited campus."

Esc« Stumpf, Openhym resident

"My room is really nice, I like it a lot. There aren't enough out- lets. That's a big problem. This is a lot b e t t e r t h a n w h a t I thought I'd see. This is the nicest building I've seen. I looked at Kruson, the Brick and the suites when my brother went here, and this is the best. There's plen- ty of storage space, and I've met a lot of really nice people."

Mira Abdul-Rauf, Tefft resident

"The bathrooms are bad; the water taps don't work that well.

There's no place to take your garbage—the dumpster is out of the w a y . The cable TV hookup is in a bad place in a corner of the room. My bed s q u e a k s really b a d l y in the night. We could use a few more outlets. The florescent lights make it feel like a jail cell. I wish we had screens in the window.

T h e r e are n o c a r p e t s in the- room: that's really unfair seeing what they have in Barresi."

Richard Eitel, Reimer resident

"My room is a little more beat u p than I thought it would be.

It's got plenty of storage space—

i t ' s a lot b i g g e r t h a n I ' d expected. The outlets are hard to reach, and they're all on one wall. There aren't enough of them, either. The shower parti- tions need work—the privacy isn't all that great."

Jason Neumham, Barresi resident

"I like the room. It's got great carpeting. There is more than enough storage space. But, it needs more outlets. The entire h a l l , m y r o o m i n c l u d e d , smells funny. It has that 'new place' smell. The faucets in the bathroom are hard to reach.

There's not enough space in to reach the taps.

Did you come to learn? Jesus said, "Learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest unto your souls." (The Bible, Matthew 11:29.)

Did you come to grow? The Bible says, "Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18.)

Did you come to have fun? The Bible says that God, "gives us richly all. things tD »;

enjoy." and Jesus came tHat we might have life, "more abundantly." Of" course, when God gives us a heart to enjoy what He has given according to His rules, then our fun can be free from guilt, debt, and disease. (1 Timothy 6:17, John 10:1 0.)

Did you come to make new relationships? The greatest relationship you can ever have is to become a child of God by trusting Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as Lord and Savior. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on His name." (John 1:12.)

Saxons win season opener

Moretti nervous as Alfred squeaks by Denison, 20-13

BY CHARLIE VAZQUEZ

After the Saxon's narrow 20-13 w i n over D e n i s o n last w e e k , Coach Jim Moretti claimed he was a "nervous" winner.

The Saxons r o a r e d into the n e w s e a s o n last w e e k w i t h a 43-yard kickoff return by Brian W h i t e . D u r i n g t h e e n s u i n g drive, w h i c h c o n s u m e d m o s t of the first quarter, the Saxons ran options, veers, a n d threw the occasional pass. This led to a 17-yard t o u c h d o w n r u n b y

Yeoman to coach Women's tennis

BY CHARLIE VAZQUEZ

This y e a r ' s w o m e n ' s t e n n i s t e a m will h a v e Jeannette Yeoman at the helm. With her first head coaching experience she inherits a tennis team that has lost many players. She has recruit- ing to do, b u t in t h e m e a n t i m e will rely on sophomore Jen Brown and junior Andrea Grata to carry them through their tough schedule.

Yeoman said, "With the loss of many of our girls from last year, w e find ourselves jumping players four or five spots, where a sixth-seated player from last year might have to play in the first spot this year."

When asked about the abilities of her players, she says, "These girls are as physically fit as any out there, but this game is as much mental as it is physical. It'll take time, but I'm confident they will adjust."

For the first time in her career, Yeoman will also be coaching Alfred's w o m e n ' s basketball team. A l t h o u g h the t w o s p o r t s f o l l o w each other, the seasons will not overlap. •

Unfortunately, injuries h a v e struck the team in the presea- son, including starting senior, Jen Savery. Savery is touted as being the strongest and fastest
