Three students suspended on charges of racial harassment
Ice storm hits Southern Tier
during spring break
by Melissa Hirshson
AU students were fortunate to have been out of Alfred during spring break on March 5, when what has been dubbed "the most devastating ice storm of the decade" hit western New York State.
An estimated 300,000 homes lost electrical power during the storm. Al- though temperatures were never particularly low ("if s not even cold out!" remarked one student), some trees and shrubs were covered with as much as one inch of ice. Hundreds of trees were uprooted or severely damaged, in- cluding ones in front of the Campus Center and Myers Hall.
Additionally, Sayles Street was closed for more than 24 hours due to a fallen power line.

On Feb. 23 the typically loud crowd at the Alfred-Ithaca men's basketball game turned for the worse, resulting in the suspension of three AU students and drowning the rest of the Alfred campus with conflicting rumors and confusion.
"Within the first five minutes, we heard this noise from across the room,"
Coach Kevin Jones said. According to him, a crowd of AU students, standing out from the rest of the spectators, were yelling obscenities at him The incident happened within the first half of the game.
The loud group sat directly opposite the team Jones claims that he heard only complaints about coaching decisions, al- though he was informed later by two other students that slanderous racial comments were also being aimed to- ward him.
"After the game, a few of them [the crowd] approached the team and began to continue the obscene comments in the same vein," Jones said. "The team was in shock."
It was not just Alfred students who saw the crowd as a problem. According to Don King, Vice President of student affairs, the Director of Athletics at Ithaca called the Sheriff's Department which escorted the team and Jones to the county line.
Jones said that after acquiring a list comprised by himself and a few wit- nesses, he reported the incident to the Director of Athletics. Jones said that there was no emotion, neither positive nor negative, involved in informing the Athletic Director of the incident. He was just following the proper procedures. "I just did what I had to do," Jones said.
"This is the real world. When one makes the decision to act out, they have to an-
swertoit."
King said he was informed of the incident over the weekend. On Sunday and Monday, he questioned some of the spectators present and viewed a videotape which was used to record Ithaca's team performance. According to King, the video tape, one of the main defenses of those accused, was no help.
"The video camera was focused on the game," said King. "It only helped confirm the position of where the stu-
dents involved were sitting."
King met with the accused students on Sunday. On Monday, eleven students, all Delta brothers, received a written declaration of the charges against them and the date for the hearing, Thursday, Feb. 28. The hearing gave the alleged slanderers a chance to dispute the charges brought against them.

Geraldine Ferraro speaks
her mind at business forum
by Chad Bowman
Last Thursday Geraldine Ferraro, politi- cal activist, three time Congresswoman and 1984 Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate, spoke to Alfred University students at the College of Business and Administration's weekly forum.
Ferraro spoke to a standing-room only crowd at Haider Hall about a na- tional agenda in her prepared
comments. Although she praised Presi- dent Bush's actions in die Persian Gulf, she highlighted the numerous domestic and economic problems which still exist and need to be tackled.
She spoke of the 32 trillion dollar national debt, and the 180 billion interest which will be paid this year—money which buys "no guns and no butter."
In addition, Ferraro touched on the crisis in health care, education, the shrinking middle class, and government mismanagement.
After her "twenty minutes of pre- pared brilliance," Ferraro took questions

on any topic. Students posed a broad range of inquiries, on topics ranging from the possibility of a third party to Congress's role in military action to arts funding and trends in party politics.
Most students felt that Ferraro an- swered the questions well, not avoiding any and referring to Walter Mondale as
"Fritz" and routinely lampooning Vice President Dan Quayle and, to a lesser ex- tent, the Republican Party.
One interesting question which was raised in the forum and the press confer- ence afterward was Ferraro's political future. Ferraro replied that she is consid- ering running in the 1992 race for NY Senator against A1 D'Amato.
Although she said that she wouldn't formally announce whether or not she plans to run for several months, she gave the impression that her mind was made up.
"I want to be back in Washington,"
, she said, and the crowd applauded in agreement.

Racism: let's call it what it is
Kenya spoke quietly, her deep brown eyes reflecting the rich chocolate com- plexion of her skin. "I've been called a nigger four times this week," she said, ashing her cigarette in an almost empty glass of ice tea. "Is there a problem with racism on this campus? You must be kid- ding!"
Carla, a senior of Jamaican descent, recalls an incident at a fraternity party: "I heard someone say, 'Lef s kick all die niggers out.' I was the only person of color there. I got out." Carla reported the incident in a letter to the editor in the Fiat Lux. The only result was a twisted apology from the brother, who explained that "he should have known better than to use a slur like that when black people are around."
Ron, a black sophomore, tells of an incident that occured last semester. "A friend of mine [who is black] was jumped by four white guys in what ap- peared to be a racially motivated aigument. But no one ever heard any- thing else of it. The administration tried to keep everything hushed-up."
The faces and names change, but one thing always stays the same: nobody hears about these incidents. Racism is rampant on this campus, yet amid the loud voices of activists for gay and women's rights, the rights of racial mi- norities seem forgotten. Each time a racial incident occurs it gets swept under the bureaucratic carpet alongside com- plaints over the meal plan and pleas for

Our administration pretends all is well in the world of Alfred. It is not.
The first step to eliminating racism at AU is to admit that it exists. Moreover, this illusion of "everything is OK" is more dangerous than the racism itself, for it blinds us to reality and allows us to go on living in that surreal
doublespeak white-bread wonderland where ignorance is bliss. It is not.
Before spring break there was a major racial incident that was just too
But wait—we have not heard Delta's side of it. They were not yelling slurs, said one brother, "it was others in the crowd. They always tag things on the fraternities. And they weren't going to confront Jones, they were just going to see their brothers, to party after die game. You guys are blowing the whole thing out of proportion. It has nothing to do with racism. I mean, how can you say Delta is racist—we have a black
brother!"
In the Ithaca game case the adminis-
big and too public to hide under the magic carpet. A group of Delta Sigma Phi brothers went to the final basketball game of the season in Ithaca, bringing with them an actual U-Haul hitch full of beer. Thoroughly wasted, they got a tad too rowdy in the stands. Angered that Coach Kevin Jones would not play some senior Delta players, they allegedly en- gaged in a verbal attack on Jones.
In front of scores of onlookers some of our own students jeered our own coach, reportedly calling Jones a
"nigger," yelling "your black ass don't know basketball," and asking him to
"show your face so we can see you."
Jones allegedly yelled back "F— you!"
and a conflict ensued. At the end of the game the brothers surrounded Jones.
They were threatening enough that the security personnel at Ithaca called the lo- cal police to escort Jones to the bus and out to the county line.
tration has gone wobbly at the knees again. Three students were suspended;
they are permitted to attend classes dur- ing their appeal, and if successful lose nothing but sleep. If unsuccessful, they may apply for readmittance in the fall.
Four of die brothers must perform 75 hows of community service, and four oth- ers received hearty slaps on the wrists.
Soft-pedalling incidents of harrassment has become an unwritten AU policy. This is not only a fraternity problem. It is a problem of our entire campus. We need to confront racial problems openly before any change can occur. Stand up and tell Don King, tell Edward Coll, Jr.—we are tired of this bu- reaucratic BS!
Why should it take an attack on a faculty member before we see action?
Who do King and Coll think they are kidding? AU is a racist campus. Lef s lift up the carpet and deal with the dirt.

Letters to the editor
We are writing to address the ugly racial incident that happened at the Al- fred-Ithaca College basketball game on Feb. 23,1991. As programs directors and division chairs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, we express our out- rage at the indignity suffered by a colleague and member of the Alfred community. Racism, in whatever form, has no place in a university.
The faculty of the College cannot tolerate behavior of this kind from any- one. As scholars we are committed to open inquiry and dissemination of knowledge in an inclusive way. Anyone willing to share in these values is wel- come to participate. However, those who express prejudice belong elsewhere be- cause they undermine the trust that makes free inquiry possible.
As leaders of the faculty, we call upon everyone to discuss racism, to con- front it wherever it may be expressed, and to work to eliminate it from the Al- fred community.
Sincerely,
Chairs and Program Directors College of Liberal Arts

When I read the survey on the health center in the Feb. 27 issue, I was shocked to read the harsh responses. I have felt over the past years that I've been at Al- fred that the health center has been responsible, helpful, and extremely car- ing. One incident in particular shows this. Over a year ago I had surgery where part of my scapula was removed.
I returned to Alfred over two weeks later and the incision had still not healed. I went to the health center just to get it checked. Sandy Cameron, the head nurse, thought it looked infected. Imme- diately she took a culture and called Dr.
Ninos in to evaluate it When I informed Dr. Ninos that I had part of my bone re- moved, he promptly called my
orthopedic surgeon in Maryland and in- formed her of the development in fear of serious complications. I went home to the hospital that day. The next week when I returned to Alfred I had a hole in my back the size of a quarter and three- fourths of an inch deep. For this to heal, the hole was to be cleansed and to have a sterile dressing at least every eight hours. For approximately the next month and a half I visited the health cen- ter at least three times a day, sometimes

Book Review
The Civil War is not over quite yet
by Brett Hinson
After reading Civil Wars by June Jordan, my entire concept of black people—of the black movement—has been turned upside down. Jordan is a black woman who has written many books, articles, essays, and poetry about civil rights and the black movement. She is someone who is extremely angry and very hurt at what she has experienced and at what her people have been through. Jordan has every right to feel this way.
As I sat contemplating what I had just read, what I had just learned, many different feelings, emotions, and ideas raced through my head and my heart.
What was, what is civil rights about? All my life I have had unwavering views about the plight of black Americans. I had ideas that I would readily discuss, but never change. In all this time I never knew what I was talking about. I
thought I did; I truly believed I did. But I knew absolutely nothing. I did not real- ize what civil rights was about; I did not know anything about black people try- ing to survive in a white America. I did not know that it was and still is "civil wars."
Civil Wars is a book about civil rights. It is about what black America has had to endure throughout its history.
Each chapter in this book tells a differ- ent story, but they all have the same concept; they all tell of the atrocities that white America has laid upon their fellow human beings. Civil Wars tells of the Harlem Riots of 1964 that were were caused by the "murder" of a black boy, half the size of the Irish cop that shot him, because he held a pen knife. In Jordan's own words, it was "...the unreal scene of a full-scale war with no one but enemies in view." These enemies were of course the thousands of police that swarmed into Harlem- lite same police that shot that black boy.
Jordan tells of not only the unbeliev-

Some of the individuals involved re- cently in the Ithaca College incident would like to extend our apologies to the student body, faculty, and especially the Alfred University basketball team and staff. We realize the ramifications of the incident upon the university and the ath- letic program, and we hope to amend the negative attitudes toward the school.
We believe that Alfred University has given us ample opportunities to succeed.
Once again, we would like to apoligize and we hope that we can repay Alfred University for the embarrassment caused.
names witheld To the editor
This letter is in response to your poorly researched editorial in the last issue of the Hat Lux. You claimed that the only reason for poor voter turnout is the fact that Americans are too lazy.
Being too lazy is just one reason for people not to vote. Did you ever think that the voting process is too compli- cated and that it in turn makes Americans "lazy"?
You never once mentioned that some people feel neglected by the gov- ernment and therefore do not vote because they feel that they cannot make a difference.
When representatives have over a 90 percent chance of getting reelected, why should people bother to vote?
Did you ever think that election day is held on Tuesday? The average Ameri- can family has parents that both work.
When you have to get the kids up and off to school, and yourself to work, then go home and cook dinner and take care of the kids, when do you find time to vote? Peihaps election day should be held on Sundays. Other nations around the world hold their elections on Sun- days and have larger turnouts.
Americans too lazy to vote? Yes, but only a small percentage of the people eli- gible to vote. I feel that your editorial was poorly researched and an insult to the American people. The examples in this letter are better reasons than yours, and they should have been mentioned in your editorial.

Student Alumni
Association hoping to 'trade places' with the president
by Melissa Hirshson
Members of the Student Alumni Asso- ciation are expanding and looking for new ways to make themselves visible on campus.
One of these ideas, taken from a conference that SAA members attended in Ontario, is to 'Trade places" with president Edward G. Coll, Jr., for a day.
"There would be a contest," said SAA president Rick Russo, "and the winner would trade places with Presi- dent Coll. The student would spend the day in Coil's office and go to all his appointements, while Coll would do things like eat in Ade Hall and do your work study."
SAA, which is already responsible for distributing the "care packages" to students which are sent by their parents, is looking at other programs as well.
They also are changing their member- ship format, where future members will have to be recommended by faculty members unconditionally. "The mem-

They also plan on limiting membership to 30.
Other new program ideas include a
"heritage program," where children of alumni would be contacted by SAA members.
Russo also talked about the many benefits of belinging to SAA. "In dealing with alumni, it helps you deal a lot with the real world. You get experience deal- ing with the administration. Plus, in getting to know the aluni, you get a lot more contacts for after graduation."
Members are also deciding on a new name for themselves, namely the "Saxon Ambassadors."
Daily News strike leader to visit AU as part of Multi-Cultural Week
Juan Gonzalez, the New York Daily News Columnist credited with pulling together the nine unions who recently struck the paper for five months, will speak tonight on the AU campus as part of Multi-Cultural Week.
Gonzalez, a native of Puerto Rico who grew up in East Harlem, has had a long history as a labor and political ac- tivist. In 1968, he was leader of the student takeover at Columbia Univer- sity. TVvo years later, he was a founding leader of the Young Lords oiganization, the Puerto Rican version of the Black Panther Party, which engaged in some
militant tactics aimed at empowering and empowering and energizing the Hispanic community in New York City.
During his visit to Alfred, Gonzalez will talk about issues relating to minori- ties and the media, as well as labor unions and the media, both at 8:30 to- night in the Parents Lounge, Campus Center.
Gonzalez's visit is sponsored by the mi- nority affairs office, the College of liberal Arts and Science and the division of com- munications. For more information, contact the minority affairs office or Dr. David Lindorff, assistant professor of journalism.

THE SMARTEST COLLEGE COURSE TOD CAN TAKE.
Kingston, Ontario. SAA president Rick Russo, members Lisa and Michele Norby, and adviser Carla Miller attended.
On March 1, Alfred's SAA representatives arrived in Kingston and spent the afternoon touring the city. That evening, all students visited Fort Henry, a fort originally occupied by Canadian and British troops in the late 1800s. Tour guides, donned in Canadian uniforms of the period, guided everyone through officers' quarters, barracks, and museums containing old uniforms, artillery and medals. As everyone walkted through Parade Square, "gunshots" were heard. After the tour, they dined in old rooms at the fort.
On Saturday, students from Penn State spoke about motivation,
commitment and recognition in SAA in their seminar entitled "Recognition and Rewards as Positive
Reinforcement." In addition, "Tradirig Places with the University President"
was presented by the Univesity of Delaware.
"Roundtable Discussions" were coordinated by Queen's University students. They exchanged ideas and past experiences, as well as events about SAA activities on campus. AU SAA members learned more about community events and freshman orientation, as well as homecoming events and fundraising activities.

Matheson, former adviser to Lester B.
Pearson, Prime Mister of Canada from 1964 to 1968, was the keynote speaker at the banquet held. Matheson, formerly involved with the United Nations General Assembly and now a Canadian judge, talked about "the best of times, the worst of times." An international party followed the banquet.
SAA, a student activity which had been defunct until two years ago, is hoping to plan more such conferences in the future. "They're a good

Students begin 'alternative
newspaper'
by Jason Huff
On Feb. 25, a new newspaper was introduced to the Alfred University campus. According to its first is- sue, "The Union" Was founded on the basis that there needs to be an alternative press source at AU.
"The editorial by Jonathan Charles (in the Fiat LuxJ on the war in the Jan. 30 issue seemed to have a tot of stuff that I disagreed with," said The Union founder Peet Sasaki. "My first idea was to write a response and try to get it printed in the Fiat Lux. But then it occurred to me that it would be easier for me and also provide other opportunities for other people to put stuff in the public eye."
The war in the Middle East was the only topic that was brought up by the small staff of only two writers. Now The Union will focus on other things such as HIV testing on Alfred University.
I'm trying to get as many people involved with it as pos- sible." said Sasaki in his plans of having a second issue of The Union out in a few weeks.
The Union was not just founded on the basis of expressing political views but anything in general that is expressive. 'It would be a good opportunity for people to get something in the public eye whatever it might be,"
Said Sasaki. "If if s editorial, hav- ing to do with political or social or just artistically expressive or what- ever."
If you are interested in submit- ting something to The Union, contact Peet Sasaki in senior glass in Harder Hall, or for information ask in the art office.

Senate Update New York State residents may lose TAP awards
by Melissa Hirshsott
College students in private institutions all over New York State may face laige cuts in their Tuition Assistance Program awards if Governor Mario Cuomo's pro- posed state budget is passed, Dr.
William Stepp, vice president of univer- sity relations, told the student senate last Wednesday.
According to Stepp, the governor proposed eliminating $89 million from the TAP financial aid program. In addi- tion, he proposed eliminating the Regents Scholarship program and reduc- ing funds for the College Work Study program.
AU students, the majority of whom are from New York State, currently re- ceive about $15 million in TAP awards.
If the governor's budget passes through the Albany legislature, many students may not be able to return to Alfred due to the cuts.
This is particular distressing, said Stepp, during a time when colleges all over the country are already suffering fi- nancially due to lower undergraduate enrollments and economic hard times, while at the same time being forced to raise tuitions across the board.
Stepp, who has a daughter who is a freshman in college, said that the cuts
"affect more people than you think. You should not sit still for this," he said. "The governor has a golden rule: whoever has the gold, rules."
Additionally, if the governor's ver- sion of the budget is passed, students in the State University of New York system may have to face cuts as well.
Stepp uiged students to write to their local Congress representatives to express outrage over the proposed cuts.
"We need to send an important message out to the government," he said.
... students suspended
continued from page 1 eleven were dismissed at the beginning because they were not directly involved in the situation.
"The four excused students received letters of reprimand," King said. "They should have taken some responsibilities in curtailing the comments of their friends."
On March 1, the remaining seven students received sentences. King said that four students were put on disciplin- ary probation, the step above phase three, and were given 75 hours of com- munity service. The remaining three students, King said, were suspended from AU. AD three are graduating se- niors.
King claims that his decisions were based on degree of involvement.
University judicial policy gives the accused the right to appeal King's deci- sion. The three suspended students appealed to the Ombudsman, Professor Thomas Rasmussen, on Wednesday, March 13. Rasmussen cannot reverse King's decision, but he can recommend a review or a change.
Because the students are appealing the decision, Rasmussen, King or Presi- dent Edward G. Coll, Jr. would not comment on its outcome. King has, how- ever, allowed the suspended students to continue classes while the case is being appealed.
If the Ombudsman decides against the students, judicial policy allows the accused to appeal to Coll.
According to Rasmussen, the ac- cused are in the middle of the appeal process at press time.
Jones claims that he did not hear any racial comments toward him but was informed later by a few spectators.
Jones only heard rude comments about his coaching.
The incident was not racially moti- vated," King concluded/There were, however, racial overtones. I believe that their [the accused] actions were deplor- able and that if s an embarrassment to

the University. They made a spectacle of themselves. Their behavior cannot be ex- cused or tolerated."
Many students side with Jones, whether they believe that the incident was racial or not. Jones claims he has re- ceived nothing but support from the student body.
"The slandering of Coach Jones was cruel and unjust," said student Kenya Presley. "A public apology must be made."
There is controversy about Delta be- ing blamed for this incident. Because all of the accused are Delta brothers, King
thinks that the students are seeing the in- cident as a fraternity initiated event.
According to King Delta is being cruci- fied because the accused are all brothers.
However, Provost Richard Ott be- lieves that Delta holds some
responsibility to the incident
"An action of a group of members of a fraternity constitute an action by the fraternity, regardless if the action is sanc- tioned," Ott said. "I expect Delta to apologize to Coach Jones."
According to Ott, Delta is adminis- tering disciplinary action toward those accused.

The American Indian Dance Theatre:
The Dance Circle Continues'
by Virginia C. Miranda
The only thing that is heard at first isa solitary, melancholy flute. It is soon joined by an equally sad voice. A woman then wanders out on the dark- ened and empty stage, kneels down and goes through motions like she is wash- ing her face. She then slowly begins to dance, rhythmically keeping in time with the pounding drum. Her dancing gains momentum. The drumming and her twirling become faster and faster...
This scene opened up the American In- dian Dance Theatre, a dance troupe made up of American Indians from across the country. The Dance Theatre performed for a full house in Haider Hall Auditorium on Feb. 21,1991.
The nighfs performance included many exciting dances and rituals with the performers dressed in colorful, na- tive garb. A considerable amount of the performances, moreover, depicted natu- ral scenes. One such dance included two male dancers dressed in buffalo costumes, while another dance was com- prised of seven male dancers dressed in eagle costumes, each one depicting the climbing and soaring flight of an eagle.
One of the many highlights of the night came when Eddie Swimmer, a Cherokee from North Carolina, per- formed the Hoop Dance, a dance that called for Swimmer to dance with hoops spinning around his body. He first started with one hoop, then three, then
From "Through No Fault of Their Own," which was on display in the student gallery until March 15th.
five where he then started to make dif- ferent patterns and shapes with them, shapes like wings and almost perfect spheres. The Hoop Dance ended with Swimmer being totally encompassed by more than 30 hoops, all of them shaped into a huge sphere, which covered Swimmer's entire body. He was then able to pass the entire globe, unbroken, over his head, to the enthusiastic sur- prise of the audience.
The nighfs performance ended on an equally enthusiastic note when Fred Bushyhead, a Cheyenne from Okla- homa, Ernest Thomas Grant, a
Cherokee/Navajo from North Carolina, Marty Pinnecoose, a Southern Ute from Colorado, and Dwight Whitebuffalo, a Cheyenne from Oklahoma, performed

the Fancy Dance Suite. This dance was a sort of competition with each performer dancing and twirling as fast as they could, sometimes at dizzying speeds.
Later on, after the show had ended, a crowd of mostly Native Americans had formed inside the auditorium, each one waiting tp talk to the performers.
One such individual was a small girl, about six-years old, who was standing impatiently on stage. She began to dance, mimicking the moves of the dancers almost perfectly.
Campus celebrates first annual Multi- Cultural Week
by Melissa Hirshspn
Alfred University's first annual multi- cultural awareness week began this week with a variety of shows and events.
According to the program of events,
"Great minds that represent various cul- tures have come together to bring Multi-cultural Awareness Week to the community of Alfred. Why? Because we have a diverse campus and it is essential to bring to the community a sense of multiculturalism. It is a time to reflect on the multicultural nature of Alfred Uni- versity; a society representing diverse nationalities and cultures."
Events for the rest of this week in- clude ethnic meals in Ade and Brick dining halls, exhibitions on display in the Campus Center, and a dance this Sat- urday night in the Saxon Underground.
For a complete listing of schedules and events, pick up a program at the Campus Center Desk.
AIDS art show a success
by Kate Lootnis
"Through No Fault of Their Own," a juried art show presented by local art- ists, closed on Friday, March 15 with a reception at the Robert Turner gallery in Harder Hall. The show represented the views of artists towards the AIDS crisis, and was curated by senior Art and Design major Greg Roberts.
In a statement, artist J. Reto said,
"in this show, my aim was less to en- tertain than to express my intimate rage at the fall of sex-as-liberator to that of sex-as-instrument of fear and scorn. This was both brought about by the stigma surrounding the disease as well as the inherant danger of unpro- tected sex in a plague era."
...ice storm
continued from page 1 Allegany County declared the area in a state of emergency until March 9, which put in effect a dusk-to-dawn cur- few for all motor vehicles except in emergency situations.
The storm knocked out power in Allegany County for anywhere between 14 and 36 hours, with other services such as cable television being unavailable for many hours after that.
The biggest danger to Alfred resi- dents was a shortage of the water supply, for without electricity water could not be pumped into the village resevoir. The village actually ran out of water completely for about half an hour on March 6 before electrical power was restored.
"This is the biggest storm since 1936," Almond village mayor Lewis Wheeler told the Hornell Evening Tri- bune.
The city of Hornell also declared a state of emergency, and the effects of the storm caused the Tribune to miss pub- lishing an issue on March 4 in what is believed to be the first time in its 52-year history.
Monroe County and the Rochester area were hit hardest by the storm, and many homes still did not have electricity as of March 15.
There was one casualty from the storm in Rochester, where an elderly woman died from exposure in her unheated home, according to the Roch- ester Democrat and Chronicle.
People who remained on campus during the break were relieved that such a disaster did not occur while school was in session. "Can you imagine what it would have been like, trying to feed 1500 people?" said Dr. Jennifer Taylor, assistant professor of ceramic engineer- ing. "It would have been chaos."

Five mens swimmers headed Softball
for NCAA tournament makina
Michael Schaeberle is being cautiously optimistic
You see, Schaeberle, the men's swim coach, is taking five swimmers to the NCAA Division HI Men's Swimming and Diving Championship» to be held in Atlanta, Ga., on March 21-24.
A year ago, Schaelere's Saxons were the surprise team at the championship finishing in sixth place.
"Will we place sixth this year?" asks Schaeberle. "No way. If our swimmers place high, especially in the individual events, we could finish in the top 10, but I'm not planning on anything."
Schaeberle will take senior Mike Klemann, juniors Rick Stakel and John

continued from page 3 -able massacres in the streets, but also the massacre of education, the
massacre of heritage, and the massacre of dignity.
Education was dismal at best for black students. There were never enough educational tools, including teachers, for blacks. Inside the school, black children were told to forget and wipe out what they had learned from their environment. They were told that there was only one way and that was the white way. This included "White Standard English." This was the language of the powerful. In a way, through schools and everyday life white America said that in order for blacks to survive they must give up their heritage, their language (which is different from white English), and their history. In order to survive, black people must become like white people.
Jordan is appalled at such ideas. In her opinion, for her people to survive they must fight to hold their background, but they must also learn the way of white America.
Jordan goes on to discuss what she has seen through 1980. There are many more accounts of blacks being savagely murdered, as in the instance
Kupiec and sophomores Tom Reed and Dave McBride to Emory University, the host for this year's championship.
Klemann and Stakel each qualified in individual events, while Reed, Kupiec and McBridge qualified as part of the Saxons's relay teams.
"Everyone's been swimming really fast," says Schaeberle. "I'd be really sur- prised if Klemann and Stakel didn't make the finals in all events. Their atti- tude has been really good this past week.
"The relays shoud do all right,"
Schaeberle says. "We can set two school records in the medley relays and should finish in the top eight"
where Arthur MacDuffie was beaten to death by police while handcuffed. No officers were indicted or even
suspended for the incident. She also talks about many of the protests that she has been associated with. In one particular instance, she was about to speak at a protest at Yale University.
The mood was somewhat festive; even Jordan was feeling that way until a
student came up to her and asked,
"why do they hate us, June?
Why...why do they hate me?" At that moment Jordan's feeling changed. She now viewed this protest as a part of a dirty fight which she and everyone else could not afford to lose.
Civil Wars addresses many issues which could not be summed up in such a short way; nor would I want to.
There are too many important ideas in Civil Wars to take up so lightly in a short span of time. You must read for yourself and listen. This book is about something that affects all of us, not just a select few. This is about war.
Ed. note: This article was originally an assignment for Carol Burdick's English composition (ENG101) class, and vrith the author's permission was submitted to the Fiat Lux by a minority student in the class who remarked, "I was extremely touched by the paper. What he said in it was very important."
Club a
comeback
by James Taylor
As spring officially takes over the reins from winter's tight grip, one club is preparing for what may be a new twist in physical recreation at Alfred University: women's Softball.
Yes, at last, the Softball club is attempting a comeback and is in search of all interested women who would like to participate. Currently, 15 women are already fielding ground balls, stealing bases, and hitting singles into the left-center field gap. But, according to Ellen De Biasa and Renee Orlick, the two enthusiastic students organizing the club, the more the players, the better the team and the more fun it will be. One thing must be made clear, this club has nothing to do with the intramural softball, it is a separate function.
Renee Orlick attempted to organize a softball club last year, but with a late start and lack of games the group never really got off the ground.
However, this year the team's goal is
March Madness:
NCAA '91
by Arvind Purohit
The National Collegiate Athletics Association men's college basketball tournament, or March Madness as many refer to it, comes once every year, and it brings with it an air of magic, excitement and drama. What made this tournament so exciting is that only the top 64 teams in the nation are invited to the big dance, and only one out of the 64 will win the
tournament trophy.
The NCAA tournament is not like other sports where you have a best of seven series or a chance to come back even if you lose a few games to yoiir opponents. If s do or die on the day you play. If you lose, you wait until next year. If you win, you go on to the next round and try your luck again.
The way the tournament is shaped is the following. There are four
sections, east, midwest, southeast, and the west. Each has 16 teams which are seeded. Seeding is determined on the basis of your record, what conference you play in, how difficult your schedule is.
The beauty of all this is that nobody is invincible, not even the number one seeds. Throughout the history of the tournament, there have been many upsets of high-ranked teams—but thaf s what brings the
Campus
to play at least one game which will shatter last year's record. There is no doubt that ¿he team's goal will be accomplished, since the club already has eight games scheduled, including an April 13th double header against the University of Rochester. There is also a game against the faculty on Hot Dog Day.
Although De Biasa and Orlick are in charge of organization, they are still in need of a coach or advisor. Any faculty interested in such a position should contact either Ellen, Renee, or Bill King.
Practices are held on Tucker field, located behind the tennis courts near McLane gym. The times are usually posted at the gym also. However, before you put on the sunscreen and don the overly cool shades to attend a game at Alfred University, one thing to carefully note, all the games are away.
So get a carload and make a roadtrip to support a new era of softball at Alfred University.

tournament its magic. Teams that you've never heard of are tiying to put themselves on the map.
This year's tournament should be very interesting, because the question is, can anyone stop the Running Rebels of UNLV, who won the tournament last year and have entered this year's tournament with an undefeated record? Many sports writers say the Rebels will go all the way again, but there are other teams such as Baby Knighf s Hoosiers and Coach K's Blue Devils from Duke University, not to mention the possibility of a sleeper team going all the way and winning first prize at the big dance. So get ready, folks, for March Madness, and see who will win the big dance this year.
