Connecticut College,. New London, CT- Friday, April 10,1998Parking Appeals Committee comesunder scrutiny for conflict of interestBy EDWARD ZELTSER

associate news editor

A recent investigation into the, Parking Appeals Committee hasunearthed a pattern of questionable behavior among certain membersof the committee. Evidence has surfaced indicating that Director ofCampus Safety Jim Miner has established and is maintaining a systemof appeals in which some Campus Safety Officials review their ownwork.

The issue first received attention from The Voice when CraigDershowitz '99 was supposedly removed as a member of the commit-tee. Speculation immediately surfaced concerning the possible correla-

Garbage piles up on Larrabee GreenBy LUKE JOHNSON

a&e editorLast Tuesday, April?, students on their way to Cro witnessed the

bizarre sight of several gloved and masked students pawing throughheaps of garbage on Larrabee Green-searching for recyclable materialsin the regular trash.

This was the Fourth Annual Solid Waste Composition Study, whichwas initialized by Peter Esselman '94, the first Environmental Coordi-nator. The study continues today under the auspices of the currentEnvironmental Coordinator ~atalie Hildt and Director for Grounds JimLuce.

Refoc;usWCNI radio on campusevents and student concernsOnly 30 of 60 shows on WCNT belong to Con-

necticut College students, faculty, or staff. Fewevents on the Connecticut College campus arecovered. One of the few programs that does coveron-campus issues,Connecticut College News Ra-dio, has been cutfrom three weekly shows last year,to one thirty minute program this semester. Inaddition, several student radio show applicants areturned down each semester.

WCNJ does ha ve valid reasons for all of theabove. WCN! receives very littledirect financial support from Con-necticut College, requiring the sta-tion to solicit donations from theNew London community. WCNImust filJ every time slot during college breaks,necessitating the use of New London communitymembers as DJ.'s. Many of the students' applyingfor shows request the same popular time slots,requiring WCNI to tum down their applications.Finally, some students propose shows too main-stream for WCNT, whose philosophy includes pro-

viding an alternative to popular radio.The staff at WCNT clearly works hard to manage

one of the top small college radio stations in thecountry. However, WCNT seems to have lost itsconnection with its physical home: the ConnecticutCoJlege community. How many Connecticut Col-lege students listen to WCN! regularly? IfWCN! isto be a "college radio station," is it acceptable for tocontain so little programming directly about Con-necticut College?

Connecticut ColJege needs its ownradio station. At the same time, aradio station comes with a financialcost, which the College must bewilling to bear. In return, WCN!

should truly be a "learning" radio station, where99.9 percent of students that apply, regardless ofexperience or taste in music, receive a show. Theopportunity for CC students to gain experience inbroadcasting while keeping the campus informedshould not be sold in the interests of an off-campusagenda.

Congratulations 1998-1999Connecticut College housefellows!

This past week decisions have been madewhich will. affect all dorm residents in thecoming school year. because the 1998-1999housefellows have just been announced. THesefuture housefeJlows will make great sacrificesof both time and energy in an effort to keep upthe high quality of residential life at this col-lege. Serving as a housefellow is perhaps oneof the most challenging and respected studentroles on campus. Housefellows coordinatedorms of up to 100 students. So please con-gratulate the 1998-99 housefellows on theirnewly acquired positions! Also, make sureyour current housefellows know how muchthey are appreciated for their efforts in thepast year.Again, congratulations to the new

LETTERS TO THE EDITOREnglish chair defends Willauer

To THE EDITOR:

for anyone's opinion of his course:a matter that would hardly benewsworthy. Therefore the ques-tion of whether the student was"right" or "wrong" about the

I-==-"--=:-::Ir.;;-;;:;-;:;~i;;;;;::-"---, course was not onlyirrelevantbut was in any case somethingthat the reporter. having noaccess to the confidentialcourse evaluations, was in noposition to judge. For tberecord: ProfessorWillauer, byall measurable standards aswell as by reputation, has longbeen a successful, effective,and popular teacher. Hisstanding as such is in no waycontradicted by the faU se-mester course evaluationsfrom English 203.The article's reverential ci-

tation of Blats magazine asthough it were autbcrhariveispuzzling. Surely the Voiceprides itself on a higher stan-dard of journalistic responsi-bility than Blais. Since tbelatter doesn' t even take its ownpoll (or itself) seriously, why

should the Voice pretend to doso?

In my opinion, you owe Profes-sor Willauer an apology.

According to the article entitled"Professor Willauer Breaks Ano-nymity," which appeared in theFebruary 23 issue of the Voice, I"did not return phone messages"left by your reporter. Actu-ally, there was only one suchmessage, to which I didn'treply because I thought that Ihad nothing to say about the. matter. In retrospect, that wasprobably a mistake, but nowI find that I do have some--thing to say about the articleitself. Whether or not stu-dent responses to courseevaluation questionnairesneed to be treated as anony-mous (a topic legitimatelyaddressed by an editorialprinted in the same issue),it's customary to treat pri-vate correspondence as con-fidential. As a rnatter of cour-tesy, shouldn't the author'spermission be sought beforepublishing excerpts fromapersonal letter? When a stu-dent chooses to identify her-self on a questionnaire by refer-ring to a specific incident, surelyan instructor's response to thatstudent's critique of his coursecould be seen as an attempt toopen (or in this case to continue)a dialogue between the studentand the instructor, who might well

be moti vated by a deep respectfor that student. As for youreditorialist's fears about biasedgrading, which was not an issuein this particular case, please rest

assured that instructors don't seecourse evaluations until aftergrades are turned in.

In its next-to-Iast paragraph, thearticle loses focus altogether. Itsapparent purpose was to reportthe professor's alleged breach ofanonymity, not to offer support

Moneta finds' flaws in evaluation processOf when a professor asks formerit payor salary bonus.

The system therefore doesnot help a professor become abetter teacher, it only serves toenhance or hun their careers. It

theoretically rewards thoseprofessors who performwell in the classroom andmay serve to ruin the ca-reers of those who do not.If teaching and educationare priorities at this insti-tution then the studentevaluations should be re-viewed by the college ad-ministration at tbe end ofeach term and those pro-fessors who receive poorreviews should be givenhelp by the college in learn-i ng how to become betterteachers. The educationprocess did not end for theprofessors when theygained their respective de-

r~lmi~~~~t~~~~~~~~11grees and a student bodyl' who pays a great deal ofmoney to attend this schoolfor an education should notsuffer many years while aprofessor makes little im-

provement in his/her teachingabilities. If the college had sucha system in place then maybethe whole incident with Profes-sor Willauer might have beenavoided.Jonathan Moneta '01

To THE EPITOR:

I do not know ProfessorWillauer, nor am I aware of anyreputation he may have amongthe student body. I do not knowBrenda Johnstone, nor any repu-tation she may have among thestudent body. I have notbeen thoroughly informedabout the related incidentbetween the two. What I didwant to respond to was thesubsequent article that JoshFriedlander wrote in theMarch 9 College Voicewhere he reviewed the stu-dent evaluation process offaculty. In fact, I have littleknowledge of how tbe stu-dent evaluation processworks, other than what Igleaned from Mr.Friedlander's review of it.So I base my entire com-mentary upon his review ofthe evaluation process.

What I gleaned is thatthe entire student evalua-tion process of professorswould appear to be slightlyflawed. The process doesnot seem to help the col-lege, the faculty, or the stu-dents as it was intended to orhas led students to believe itshould. One of the reasons Iapplied to Connecticut College,and a reason that PresidentGaudiani has reiterated, is thatprofessors are here to teach firstand publish second. This wouldlead to the assumption that pro-

fessors would apply to workhere knowing and desiring 1Oemphasize their leaching abili-ties first. In relation to the stu-dent evaluation process, theonly people to review the stu-

dents' evaluations on a semi-annual basis are the professorsthemselves. The only time thecollege becomes fully aware ofa professor's teaching ability,as perceived by the studentbody, are at such times whenthe tenure-ship committee con-siders the student evaluations

Mydisappoint- mentcomeswiththe fact that the only surpriseI had on the night of March23 was when vie w poi 11 t TheFull Montywon for its score. and thatwas barely a surprise.

Where does the AMPAS go from here? Well, they certainly can'tcontrol the kinds of films Hollywood produces, i.e., grand epics whichwin the hearts of millions and are slated to win best picture even monthsbefore the nominations are announced. What they-can do is to make thetelecast more interesting for us, the viewers: give out Best Picture.andBest Director first. Then toss out some of those minor technical awards(visual effects, makeup, art direction, costume). Next get actor andactress out of the way. Move on to relatively predictable awards likescreenplay, score and song. Then do the really minor technical awardsthat usually 00 one can predict (sound, sound effects editing). Then,because you want to hold on to viewers for the full show, close withhonorary awards and the supporting categories. That's how to keep theshow from being anti- climactic.

As we progress through another season of specially housing, I lamentthat this school, so dedicated to diversity, is again actively persecutingand vilifying Ahbey House and its members. Year after-year, the Officeof Student Life threatens to shut down Conn's only cooperative house.based on uninformed stereotypes and repeated propaganda. f wouldlike to let this office and the larger community know a bit more aboutthe tightly-knit Abbey cnmmunity.

Currently there are 22 people living in the house, 18 of whomparticipate in the co-op.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTFreshfrom England:Black Grape Indulgeswhile The Verve Mopes

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

-*****Bang On!

**1?**

By SAM FOREMANmusic critic

Once you hear some of the songs,on Black Grapes new album StupidStupid Stupid you'll have (0 buy it- it's a soundtrack for a party. Themen behind Black Grape, ShaunRyder(fnrmerlynfthe Happy Mon-days) and Danny Saber, make mu-sic (Q drink. dance, drug and shagto, and they bloody well en-joyil.

Every song is a wildlyeclecticrnixofsounds; fromhorns, Hammond organ andelectric gu..irar, to tambou-rine, drum loops and feed-back-drenched bass. Thispastiche works because theup tempo vibe is very catchy,as are the simple choruses:Think of it as a much moreinventive, imaginative andfun Cbumbawamba.Songs like "Money Back

Guaranteed," where Rydertrades lines furiously withanother rapper, Kermit. An-other winner is the trippy"Get Higher," guest starringthe sampled Ronnie andNancy from above, and theincredibly infectious andpropulsive "Dadi Waz A Badi" areguaranteed to gel you moving. Theparty gets sarcastic at times, likewhen Ryder mocks Will Smith in"Squeaky," as he sings "Iwannagetjiggy with yall wanna get squeakyinside yaiShe's skanky!"The constant party can get a little

tiresome, and some songs like"Words" and "Spotlight" seem torun outofgas, but overall, this one's

a keeper.The most talked about British

import of the year is The Verve,whose hit rune "Bitler Sweet Sym-phony" is inescapable. It's allover,and deservedly so. II's a terrificsong. A fantastic mixture oforches-tral beauty and rock & roll punch;it'soneofmy favoritesiogJesoftheyear. The rest of their aJburn, how-ever, Isn't nearly as satisfying.

CD RE\ lEW

Unfortunately, the inventivenessof"Biuer Sweet Symphony" is no-where to be found on the rest of thedisc. The.other song arecut straightfrom the Brit-pop mold. On "TheRolling People." however, TheVerve tries to rock out, but comesoff cold, calculating and lackingenergy.On a few occasio.ns, the formula

works, like in the pretty "Sonnet,""Space and Time," and"Lucky Man." Tape thesesongs from a friend, butdon't waste your money onthe rest ofthis he-hum disc.On a whim, I picked up

the CD single of thePropellerheads' first state-side single, "Bang On 1"fig-uring I had nothing to lose.These guys were anotheron-the- verge-of-making-it-big British electronica duoa la The Chemical Broth-ers, and so far, the presswas pretty favorable. I gotmy $3 worth, but that'sabout it.The Propellerbeads are

cut directly from the bigbeat mold of artists like theChems and Fatboy Slim,and their tunes are fun and

danceable, but they lack the realinventiveness and complexity of the.other artists 1 mentioned. As I lis-tened to thefive tracks on the disc,I had a feeling of deja VU, like I'veheard this all somewhere before,onl y it had been done better. Myadvice? A void the overblown hypeof the PropeUerheads and pick upThe Chemical Brothers' Dig YourOwn Hole.

Fashion almost eclipse¢by multicultural messageBy KATIE UMANS

staff wriler

The lights go dim, music blasts through the speakers the modelssashay onto the stage, and the audience "ooohs" and "aaahs." We'retalking about the Eclipse Weekend Fashion Show that graced the stageof Palmer Auditorium on Saturday, April 4. .

The show was part of a series of events planned for EclipseWeekend XXill, three days devoted to a celebration of cultural diver-sity through entertainment, food, camaraderie, and discussion spon-sored by Unity House. Participants were treated to a full schedule ofevents, ranging from a performance by the Somali Hay & Company'Cambodian Dance Ensemble to a breakfast at the Coast Guard Acad-emy and a dance party in Cro's Nest. _The fashion and performing arts show took place on Saturday

afternoon with talent acts to add variety. There is no doubt that muchwork went into the show and it came off with professional pizzazz. .

The first fashion segment featured traditional garb from differentcultures and countries. While the costumes alone were enough tointrigue, it would have been nice to know the stories behind them-where they came from, which culture they were a part of, and what theirsignificance was. Regardless, it was a wise choice to start the show withthis homage to the past, since the motto of Eclipse Weekend is"Celebrating the Past, Embracing the Future."

The other fashion segments were divided up into "jigga wearscene," the "leather scene," the "club scene," and the "evening scene."The outfits ranged from casual jeans with trendy tops to elegant gownsand everything in between. The lineup even included one strikingyellow jumpsuit that might fit in with the second part of that Eclipsemotto, "embracing the future," it was so nouveau. The featured clotheswere provided by Fashion Bug, Contempo Casuals, American Eagle,Men's Warehouse, and Wilson's Suede and Leather.

The music maintained the mood of each segment nicely, thoughmostly it veered toward the upbeat (to the decided approval of theaudience members). The evening wear segment was accompanied bya softer ballad that underscored the elegance of the outfits. The stagewas aJso gracefully arranged to show off the glamorous gowns to theirfull potential. The models were helped onto a high platform by twochivalrous attendants who presented each one with a rose after hermoment in the spotlight.

The exuberant audience for this show consisted of current students,prospective (who seemed increasingly enthusiastic about attending asthe event wore on), and alumni. Its celebratory feel fostered a truefeeling of community, even amongst those who were meeting for thefirst time.

No Fine Print necessary to guarantee another fine performanceBy PETER GROSS

staff writer

The dance club performance.woFine Print, took place in the MarthaMyers dance studio on Thursday,Friday, and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Itfeatured twelve student-choreo-graphed pieces followed by a re-ception. the show received ravesfrom he packed house.Of the pieces. there were two that

were highly memorable. Four- Ploy,choreograpbed by Karen Diluro isone. It featured Kate Cross, KarenDiLuro. Nicole Rosenblum andJamie Santora making their indi-vidual movements work together ina cohesive piece. Each dancerworked around a chair never leav-ing the{r Own space. They all syn-chronized their movements, andthen they broke off into individualroutines only [0 synchronize Onceagain. On the whole, the piece waswell performed, but a sequence nearthe end left it unclear whether theymeant to look like they were aboutto lose their balance and fall over.

The Third Great Lie, choreo-

Listening lO The Verve's UrbanHymns from start [Q finish is likelistening to Oasis during a heavydepression. These guys are the mostmelancholy band in the world. Prettymuch every song on the disc is aslow-paced, often tiresome lamenton lost love. Lead singer RichardAshcroft's voice is thankfully lesswhiny tban Liam Gallagher's (Oa-sis). but it has none of the passion.

graphed by Meagan LoGuidice, wasa riot of'color and motion. The stagewas mobbed with dancers VanessaCampos. Kate Cross. KellyGardner, Naomi GOOdman,Meagan LoGuidice, AimeePaulson, and Jamie Samora. Thecosrumes which were chosen byMeagan LoGuidice and Sarah KimWeir were vibrantly colorful andaccented by the lighting which re-lied heavily on bright yellow andreds. It was choreographed to theunusual selection of "The UptownHorns: Postal Workers at the Uni-versity of Ghana," which was loudand discordant. The dancers movedaround the stage in twos and threeswith a high amount of energy crowd-ing each other when the choreogra-phy called for it, and evacuating thestage in a hurry when necessary.The whole piece worked well to-gether with a very energetic butchaotic feel.

Another piece which should bementioned was Sweetgrass. cho-reographed by Rebecca Ann Serrellto the music of Led Zepplin 's "Bron-Yr-Aur." Like The Third Great Lie,

the dancers Samantha Chan, AdamLarkey, Emily Proctor, and RebeccaAnne Serrell managed to orderchaos, as they mimicked the inabil-ity of small children to sit still. Theyperformed asequenceof moves thatlooked random, yctwere petfonnedwith a precision that suggested theamountofrebearsal involved. Theywhispered, fought, and braided eachother's hair while dancing in a waythat was ordered yet lively.Three solo works were also in-

cluded in the program: Under theInfluence, choreographed and per-formed by Katie Minor; Impas-sioned Solitude by Vanessa Cam-pos, and Duet by Zoe Klein.Overall .. the amount of work that

went into this production was ap-parent. The dancers worked welltogether as well as individually,and the musical cues and lightingwere done well. The costumes wereinteresting on the whole, and down-right bizarre for the piece We 're allin the Bathtub, choreographed tothe music of Phish. Once again, thedanceclubputonagreatshow, withno disappoinunenis.

Mercury Rising fails to deliver actionthis is a two line headline all throughBy JASON IHLE

associate a&e editor

Mercury Rising was an awfulmovie which failed in almost everywayan action movie can fail. It hadan awful script, and a dull and ab-surd story line. The acting was bland,and the score laughable.As an action movie it justfailed. I will admit that Ihave been spoiled bygrandiose specialeffects(Tifanic), huge ex-plosions (COil Air), fan-tastic gun battles (name aJohn Woo film) and spec-tacular stunts (any JackieChan movie). While theseare all things I love to see inan action movie, the best arethose which can be quite en-joyable without all the eyecandy. This movie is not oneof them. Usually, an actionmovie substitutes a ridiculousstory and bad writing withexplosions; not this one. This :film wants you to pay atten-tion to the story and the script,which leads me to believe thatthe writers didn't know howbad it really was.

The film stars Bruce Willisas Art Jeffries, an FBI agentwho has a problem with au-tbority. He is the only oneinterested in believing thatSimon. Miko Hughes, anyoung autistic idiot-savant whocracked a high security governmentcode, needs to be protected from theNational Security Agency. Willis isback to his usual action hero self,sinking from the recent rash of goodacting he has turned out since PulpFiction ... Hughes plays the autisticchild as if he was given a copy ofRain Man to learn how to play thepart. He doesn't do a strict Dustin

Hoffman imitation, but he does hisshare of rocking back and forth,screaming- like a banshee whensomething-happens that he doesn'tlike, and never looking anyonestraight in the eye. Fortunately, hedoesn't have too many lines, butwhen he speaks, he speaks with a

Deliberations for grantingtenure near completionBv EDWARD ZELTSER

associate news editor

In recent weeks, there have beenmany different sentiments ex-pressed among students on campuswith regard to the granting of ten-ure. In addition to the support gen-erated for a reversal of the decisionnet to grant tenure to ProfessorBorelli, there has also been increasedconfusion about what the tenureprocess is and how faculty arejudged.

According to Dean of FacultyDavid Lewis there are early indica-tions that the conclusion of thecurrent tenure deliberations willoccur within the next week.The issue of grariting tenure to

professors recei ved campus- widenotoriety over the past several weeksas students rallied together to showsupport for MaryAnne Borrelli, aProfessor of Government and oneof four professors who are eligiblefor tenure this year. As this lengthyprocess nears its completion, specu-lation and conjecture have increasedsubstantially amid the college com-munity. Much of this speculationhas focused on the chance of a re-versal for Borelli, which seems un-likely.Though the individuals i.nvolved

in theeurrem process are unwillingto comment about the possible out-come until after the proceedinghaveended, Professor Borrelli has statedthat she is "very appreciative ofeverything that has been done forher by the students."Despite this increased interest in

the matter, students around campusremain generally unaware of thedetails of this process. The processin its current form involx.,es a lengthyprocedure. Professors are first con-sidered for tenure after their sixthyear at the college. The criteria in-volved in granting tenure fall gen-erally within three categories ofconsiderations: teaching, service tothe college, and academic scholar-Ship.There is an advisory committee

that works together with the depart-ments to which eligible professorbelongs make initial recommenda-tions. These initial recommenda-tions are given to President ClaireGaudiani. The President is then re-quired to send a notice to all nomi-nated professors by March first asto what her" recommendation willbe to the Board of Trustees. TheBoard of Trustees, in turn, mustmake its final decision by May first,According to Lewis, the delib-

and judge the student's visual pre-sentations.Students turned in their entries

which were split into groups basedon grade. The first being 4th-6th,the second 7th-9th, and the last lOth-12th graders. There were between10 and 15 entries in each age group,and awards were presented fOI' First,Second, and Third place as well asHonorable Mention in each cat-egory. The winners went on to theNational Competition.Valerie Walsh, Chapter Director

of MADD, feels that "art as a ve-hicle for education is a very power-ful tool in assisting our youth tobetter understand themselves andthe impact their art has in educatingothers."MADD provided the following

facts for student consideration: twoin every five Americans will beinvolved inan alcohol- related crashat some time in their lives. Eachalcohol-related fatality costs soci-ety $2.75 million, and the averagecost for each injured victim is

erations are currentl y in the appealsstage of the process. This stage in-volves the appeals made by profes-sors in response to the recommen-dations that thePresidem slated sbewould make to the Board of Trust-ees.

Recently, it is this process ofgranting tenure that has come underscrutiny by members of the faculty.Jerry Winter, a tenured professor inthe Sociology department, has criti-cized the process for becoming un-reasonably demanding over theyears. " The standards are continu-ally being raised to the point wheremore is never enough. If you're agood professor, you have 10 be out-standing. If you're _outstanding,you have to be stupendous. and soon."Winter further commented that

the college does not define a setcriteria for receiving tenure. "I andother professors are concerned thatthe college does not adopt an '0+ I'rule with respect to granting tenureto professors," stated Winter. "Be-cause the entire process is conductedin confidence, professors are al-ways left in the dark as to whether, they have filled the criteria for re-ceiving tenure until the decisionsare made."

dents from Connecticut Collegeteamed lip with the Eastern Con-necticut Chapter of Mothers AgainstDrunk Driving (MADD) to readand judge essays for theorganization's 1998 Poster/EssayContest.

The theme for this year's contestwas "Slay Strong. Stay Sober." Theobject of the contest was to reachout to young people and give thema chance to creatively express theirconcerns about underage drinkingand drunk driving. Students weregiven the option to design a poster,write an essay, produce a publicservice announcement, or take ablack and white photo.The Conn students who partici-

pated were Laura Badger '99,Adrienne Brown '00, KathrynFlerning-Ives '99, Emma Gilmore'00, and Stephanie Matthews '0 I.Each volunteered (Q read the essays

and added that she thought thatjudg-ing was not only fun but also veryinteresting. She judged the firstgroup and said that it was enlighten-iog because "some of the kids hadamazing ideas and many told per-sonal stories."Gilmore, who judged the entries

Savino hopes to resurrect interestin a story and character she feels iswrongly overshadowed by Homer'sOdyssey. Virgil's work is espe-cially conducive to this kind of trav-eling study because. as Savino ex-plains, "Unlike Homer, Virgil trav-eled around a lot and actually sawall these places he was writingabout"

In 'addition to using Virgil'sAeneid as a travel guide, Savinowill get a more modern perspectiveon the area with travel reports bythe likes of Goethe, Byron, andShelley. ,The culmination of theproject will be a CD-ROMor a webpage which presents her experi-ences.Both Savino and Maroney em-

Despite the immediate goal ofreversing the decision not to grantBorelli tenure, the committee alsohas long term goals. Link, the Gov-ernment Advisory Board Chair.added, "We, as Government stu-dents, and students in general, wantmore say ill who is teaching in theclassrooms."

Gendreau hopes that the-lettersand support will show PresidentGaudiani that the final decision willhave a "very real impact on thestudents." She added that ProfessorBorelli is phenomenal, "she puts somuch into her classes and this is thestudents way of giving back to her."

All thecommineemembersaddedthat despite concerns that werevoiced, Borelli has met the the threestandards for tenure: service to thecollege, teaching, and scholarship.Zelan added that she felt that "Pro-fessor Borelli far exceeds the stan-dards thattbecommitteejudges fac-ulty."

member of the committee, substan-tiated these claims. Munson wentOn record stating that he ,felt thatDershowitz' abrupt -removal fromthe committee was likely due to"personal reasons, not profes-.sional."

In a discussion with Jim Miner,Dershowitz was told that his com-ments in the earlier article were"unprofessional and offensive to thecommittee."A week later,just before the next

in the commiuee precluded any di-rect involvement in the affairs ofthe committee. Miner violated therules of the IFF by appointing MarkBabcock. a Campus Safety officer,to be chair of the committee. Thefact that Babcock is a Campus Safetyofficer further violates the rights ofthe campus community to have itsappeals heard by an objective body.The organizational makeup of the

committee thus raises the twofoldcoucem that reviews of parkingappeals are not conducted free frombias and that students areunderrepresented in the committee.The latter concern was first ex-pressed by Dershowirz at the begin-ning oftheyear when hewas electedto the committee by SGA.Dershowitz cited under-represen-tation of students as his main reasonfor wanting to be on the committee.Both Miner and Babcock refused

to comment on the circumstancesofDcrshowuz' departure. However,Babcock stated that "tbere seemedto be a general feeling of hostilityamong members ohbe committeeto\....ards Craig after his commeJ]t~were printed in The Voice.

statements were made accusing thecommittee members of such thingsas "making decisions on a whim."

, At the time, Dershowitz was reluc-tant to comment upon the circum-stances of his departure from thecommittee. Jim Miner and MarkBabcock, who is the chair of thecommittee, also refused to makestatements regarding his removal.It seems that tbc appeals commit-

tee has been operating in contrast tothe rules set forth by the Informa-tion For Faculty Handbook (IFF).The handbook clearly defines themakeup of the comrniuee as havingto consist of the following individu-als: the Director of the Office ofHuman Resources, three facultymembers. three undergraduate stu-dents. and one return to college(RTC) representative. However, thecommittee. at the lime. failed toinclude either the Director of Hu-man Resources or any faculty mem-bers. and it consisted of only twoundergraduate students.

A new season means new bopesfnrclub baseball. With a new coach,more games, prime practice fieldsand fresh talent, the '98 season hasalready surpassed last year's. "It'sgoing to be a lot more fun thisseason," commented co-captainRyan Montecalvo '99. Althoughthe team is 0-3 thus far.their expec-tations for a great season have notbeen crushed.

After only a week of practice,the boys went out Saturday for adoubleheader. The Camels com-peted in two separate games againstSacred Heart at the Coast Guard'sfield. Sacred Heart, 'seven gamesinto their season, outscored ConnJO-8 and 12-4. The frigid air washarsh on the pitching, yet MikeDePlacido '00 was still able to per-form on the mound, -pitching 6 in-

rungs. allowingonly2hits. CaptainDoug Deihl '98 started off his sea-son with a home run his first at bat;his co-captain, Montecalvo soonfolJowed suit with his first homer ofthe year. Also contributing toConn's 8 initial runs was PaulMcGowan '99 who made his wayaround the diamond, going 4 for 6for the first game.

Tuesday afternoon was less ex-citing with a 9-0 loss against Gate-way Com-Tech. Errors accountedfor several runs,' Camel pitchingwas still strong. McGowan allowedonly 2 earned runs in his 5 inningson the mound. "Our pitching stafflooks good this year ... and we'reabout as strong up'the middle as wecan be," Deihl explained. TimShellin '00 and Montecalvo headup the infield at second and short,while Matt Griffin '98 covers atthird.

when talking to the players. When asked about the post season awardsthat were piling up with his nameon them, Tatum said, "1was extremelyhonored to receive all of tbe awards, but alii really wanted to do wasto win the national championship. Those awards don't mean anythingto me without reaching thai goal." Guckian wasn't about to Lake anycredit for the success of the team, ashe gave credit to Chris 0' Leary '99,"[the team] really got along well together and we played like a teamshould, but I attribute our success to Chris 0' Leary, who got us throughthe thick and ~in of the season." O'leary and junior Dwayne Stallingscompleted the nucleus of the team, with a long line of freshmen andsophomores coming off the bench.

"The season was as good as it Possibly could have been. It was a Jotof fun and very enjoyable," stated Gallerani who will graduate thisseason after transferring here from Sacred Heart during his sophomore'year. The season was definitely a memorable one, and with Guckianand Gallerani graduating. more of the load will come down on Smith,Tatum, O'Leary and Stallings for the upcoming season. Tatum wantedto make his appreciation known, " ...Iwould especially like to thanklhefans .. .It was a really fun ride and hopefuUy we can do it again nextyear."

Coach FranShields praises, "Chris is a premier goal scorer who has worked hard atbecoming a better athlete. His off-season work habits coupled with hisoutstanding skills make him the complete attackman."

Sides '00 leads the team in scoring this season coming into the gamewith 24 goals and 9 assists for 33 points, followed by Abplanalp '98with 12 goals and l3 assists for25 points and Dylan DePeter '98 whohas 8 goals and 7 assists for 15 points.

'The season looks hopeful for this year's squad and was summed upbest by Senior Sam Hopkins, "The key to this team and its success is thebalance created by a great goalie, great defense, great middies, andgreat attackman. .The combination of solid returning players all ofwhom have really stepped up their game and a strong freshmen classwill make for a successful season."

His formidable abilities will be-put tothe test when he plays against Babson, next Monday (April 13). againstplayers that are similarly ranked (unfortunately. specific ran kings werenot available auhis time). Alas, Hufnagel's abilities can only be utilizedfor this year. After tha·l, he returns home to Germany 10 pursue hisinterest in law. The team also has 00 official captain. something that isseen as an advantage: the responsibilities and leadership can be sharedas a group. Another advantage weJl worth mentioning is' the relativeyouth of the team. Dan is the only senior on the team, and there are onlytwo. juniors, Alex Nagler and Eric Annes. The rest are evenly splitbetween the sophomores and the first-year students. Conn's team isloaded with quality, but it is lacking in quantity: it does not have a verydeep bench, with only eight players. Head Coacb Ken Kline knows thatthe problem cannot be corrected this year, but he said that there were"four or five" potential recruits that, if they chose to come to Conn,would help tremendously. '.With only three weeks to go before the NESCAC tournament

atWilliams, Conn faces a grueling. non-stop road for the rest of theseason, and this time the Camels will .nor have the relative calm" ofSpring Break to cushion the blow. Nevertheless, with their admirableperformance so far, it looks like the tennis team can handle it, andhandle it well.
