Mark Morris Dance Group performs in PalmerBy KATIE UMANS

staff writer

Mark Morris, considered bymany to be one of the finest con-temporary American choreogra-phers, showcased his work inPalmer Auditorium on NovemberI. The award-winning MarkMorris Dance Group performedas part of Connecticut College'sCentury Series and beld a masterclass for Connecticut CollegeDance students the afternoon ofthe performance.

Morris, 42, founded the Mark

Morris Dance Group in 1980.The group remained low profileuntil it was asked to perform atthe Brooklyn Academy of Musicin 1984, garnering instant ac-claim. Two years later, Morriswon a Guggenheim Fellowship,and PBS did an hour-long specialon his work. From 1988 to 1991,Morris was the Director of Danceat the Theatre Royal de laMonnaie in Brussels. By the timehe returned to the U.S., he wasregarded as one of the greatestchoreographers working in mod-ern dance. Last year, The Wall

Street JOl;rnal raved that "Mor-ris bas a spatial imagination un-equaled by that of any other cho-reographer today." Vogl/e clas-sified him as "one of the foremostartists in the United States" in a1992 article. He has created morethan 90 pieces, done choreogra-phy for numerous ballet cornpa-rues, and worked extensively inopera.

Before the 7:30 performancein Palmer 'Auditorium, fourteendance students had the opportu-nity to take a master class withMark Morris member Dan Joyce.

Trusteesapproveten ure trackpositions for'99-'00By NICOLE MANCEVICE

staff writer

At their October meeting, the Con-necticut College Board of Trustees ap-proved eleven tenure track positions forthe 1999- 2000 school year. In addition tothese positions, there are four other jobvacancies remaining from last year'ssearches. "

Following a review of all applicationsin the spring, 3-5 candidates were selectedfor each position and brought to campuswhere they taught mock seminars orclasses, interviewed with faculty, and metwith department chairs, as well as the Pro-vost and President. The student advisorycommittees and faculty then made recom-mendations to the Provost, who in turnmade recommendations to the President.Finally, the tentative appointments weresubmitted to {he Board of Trustees.

The staffing plan changes every yearas new positions are created due to retire-ment, resignation, and tenure denials.Each department submits formal requestsfor new faculty members, and then thePresident, Provost, the Faculty Steeringand Conference Committee, and the Boardof Trustees evaluate these requests. TheTrustees have set a limit of 145 tenure-track/tenured professors at the school dur-ing any given time. This number also in-cludes those professors going through theprocess of attaining tenure and does not

Despite Roland's win, Democrats maintain power in ConnecticutBy LAURA STRONG

associate news editor

In a veritable landslide, incum-bent Republican Governor John G.Rowland held on to his position inwhat proved to be one of the leastexciting gubernatorial races in re-cent Connecticut history. His chal-lenger, Democratic Congress-woman Barbara Kennelly. grace-fully accepted defeat after an ardu-ous campaign. The underdogthroughout the race, Kennelly wastwenty-five points behind Rowlandafter two-thirds of the votes hadbeen tallied Tuesday eveoing.

Said Rowland in the Wednes-

day, November 3rd, edition of TheDay. "The outcome of this electionhas oothing to do with what Bar-bara Kennelly did wrong. The out-come of this election is testamentof what we [the Rowlaod adminis-tration] did right."

Although Rowland was victo-rious overall, and bis support of theredevelopment of New London issubstantial, Kennelly won the city'svote by a slim margin, most likelybecause New London has tradition-ally been Democratic.

Despite the public controversyin Washington surrounding Presi-dent Clinton's personal life, Demo-crats didn't suffer the losses that

were expected. In Connecticut,Democrats were able to maintaincontrol of both houses of the legis-lature and hold on to their U.S. Sen-ate seat with the reelection ofConnecticut's Christopher Dodd.

Political analysts believed thatapathy would playa major role inthis year's election, but voter turn-out was much higber than predicted.In Connecticut, over fifty percent·of eligible voters participated, whilein the New London-Groton areaturnout was around forty-four per-cent. John Brennan. moderator ofthe fifth voting district in New Lon-don, said that at his location therewas an "over fifty percent voter

turnout," with a "good mix" of agesparticipating, as well as an equalbalance of male and female voters.However, the number of youngpeople hitting the polls was small,and Brennan noted that most NewLondon residents exercising theirpolitical right to vote were over theage of twenty-five.

In other area elections, DemocratMelodie Peters hung on to her 20thDistrict Senatorial seat, defeatiogRepublican Robert Pero. Pero lostby 570 in his bometown of New lon-don, where he serves on the CityCouncil. Democrats also held ontothe New London County sheriff seal,with Gerard E. Egan's victory over

Republicao Bernard W. Steadman.Democratic Rep. Wade A. Hyslop,Jr. from New London's 39th DistrictHouse, was also re-elected to hisfifth term in the General Assembly.Hyslop believes that tbe most impor-tant issues that he would like to ad-dress are "property tax relief andmaking public education a lot bet-ter," as he told The Day.

Throughout the nation, Democratswere relatively successful, as the mod-est gains they made were unprec-edented for a party with a president inhis sixth year in office. These gains werealso far contrary to GOP predictions-which had estimated a Republican gainof nearly forty seats in the House.

OPINIONFund J-Board through SGA, not through fines

Research and interviews conducted for lastweek's news story, "CONNtact Ad MisrepresentsJ-Board" revealed an issue of larger consequencethan the problem of who placed the questionableads in The CONNtact. J-Board Chair Matt Ciprianoand Dean of Student Life Catherine WoodBrookshave both stated that J-Board does in fact receivethe greater portion of their funding from several ofthe fines they assess, though not from any of thefire-code violation fines (as The CONNtact ad sug-gested). The fact that the Judiciary Board augmentsits funds from the fines it assesses gives at leastthe appearance of impropriety.

The evident reasoning behind the existing pro-cess is to provide J-Board with the funds that theyrequire for their operation, including supplies forreports and notices, a yearly conference, and foodfor meetings that run late into the night. Most im-portantly, the investigation also brought to light the

fact that there is nowritten protocol, ineither the J-Boardhandbook or in the Il...~ ~ --'

Bursar's Office, that designates the final destina-tion of J-Board fines.

A judicial system that relies on convictions forits funding could conceivably assess crimes basedupon their monetary values. We do not suggestthat the current J-Board actually does convict toreceive more funding. However, we do suggestthat the current lack of a funding policy allows forthe appearance of impropriety.

The Student Government Association shouldfully fund the J-Board. J-Board should have all ofthe money it needs allocated at the beginning ofthe year like any other long-standing student orga-nization. No fines assessed by J-Board should goto J-Board.

Would we mock a Newton, MA disaster?Last month the campus received messagesre-

questing support for a food and clothing driveaimed at helping victims of Hurricane Georges,which ravaged Puerto Rico and the DominicanRepublic during October.

Communications between La Unidad, the spon-sor of the drive, and Housefellows resulted in atleast one dorm receiving an offensive and imma-ture message. This message sounded an irreverantplea for help while the theme from Gilligan's Is-land played in the background.

The Housefellows and La Unidad have sincecome to an understanding, with both groups em-phasizing the need for open communication andsensitivity in dealing with "issues ofmulticulturalism."

hi, difficult to ~know what is meantby their apology. ~The voice mail mes- .sage was regrettable, but it seems more regrettablethat the author of the message has not stepped for-ward to offer an apology for making a mockery ofothers' pain.

If a disaster befell the residents of Newton, Mas-sachusetts it is improbable in the extreme that anyresulting message would not posses a tone ofex-treme gravity. People were killed-families, homes,and whole communities were torn apart. We sup-port La Unidad's hurricane relief efforts, and wethank La Unidad for raising this impotant issuewithin the pages of the Voice.

OPINION

CONNtact takesresponsibility, butsays Burbridge notto blame

To the Editor:As one of the co-editors of The Daily

CONNtact, I feel that I must respond to TheVoice's October 31 article, "CONNtact ad mis-represents J-Board." Hopefully, this will be thelast chapter in an unfortunate incident.

I believe that the "scandal" which has resultedfrom the running of the ads has been blown outof proportion. The two incidents were com-pletely unrelated. The CONNtact does take re-sponsibility for running the ads for weekend edi-tion (October 17-18) that ridiculed the J-Boardads. The CONNtact employee who submittedthose ads has been reprimanded. At that time,The CONNtact was unaware of the controversyinvolving October 16 ad. I would like to per-sonally apologize to Dean WoodBrooks and toJ-Board for those ads. The CONNtact has theutmost respect for J-Board and the Office of Stu-dent Life.

There is an"important fact that needs to becleared up. The Voice has insidiously impliedthat the culprit who submitted the October 16 adwas Maggs Burbridge. That is unequivocallyfalse. The Voice received an e-mail from a pro-duction assistant stating that Maggs worked thatnight. Without even contacting Maggs for con-firmation, the e-mail was printed, leaving thereaders with the impression that she was respon-sible. In fact, Maggs did not even work the nightin question. A good journalist always makessure s/he gets the facts straight; obviously thiswas not an example of good journalism. TheVoice owes Maggs Burbridge a sincere apologyfor creating tbe misperception that she is respon-sible for the original ad.

Also, I would like to state that contrary towhat The Voice reported, The CONNtact still hasall ads submitted during the second-half of Oc-tober. If The Voice wants to sort through hun-dreds of ads, please call us, and we will gladlyprovide assistance.

Finally, I believe that The CONNtact is a fineand relevant news source for the campus. Wedo our best to serve the public. Yet, The Voicebas outdone itself casting aspersions on TheCONNtact. By behaving in a journalisticallyirresponsible manner, The Voice has not accu-rately represented the situation.

It's mid-January 1999. Twenty-five percent of you are on campusfor athletics or our optional one-week Dean's Term program. An-other twenty-five percent are par-ticipating in internships, manyof which were obtained through ourexcellent Office of Career Services.The rest of you are doing otherthings out in the world, from vaca-tioning in Vermont to working foryour family's business in Washing-ton.

So, what's the problem withthat? On an individual level, notmuch. In the middle of each aca-demic year, you have four' weeksto do whatever you want, indepen-dent of Connecticut College.

But wait a minute. A four week .vacation? That's a little extreme.Sure, some students will find a pro-ductive use for this time. Butshouldn't the College find a way to

better to utilize this time as a com-munity? It seems as though Con-necticut College as a whole is miss-ing a massive four-week opportu-nity.

Some of our peer schools arealready ahead of us. Colby's "JanPlan," Middlebury's "J- Term:' andWilliams' "Winter Study" use themonth of January effectively. Eachschool has a mandatory four- weekprogram where students take onerelatively intense class for ten-plushours per week, while leaving timefor students to increase their focuson sports and extracurricular pur-suits. At Middlebury, you can takean intensive course in a foreign lan-guage, learning the language argu-ably in the best method possible:total immersion. At Colby, you cantrain to become an EmergencyMedical Technician, if you are will-ing to devote forty- plus hours per

week to the course. At Williams,you can spend ten hours per weekstudying "American Cinema of the1970's."

Opponents of a winter studyplan might argue that options forstudents wishing to pursue outsideinternships would be limited. Tothe contrary, all winter study plansl have researched bave some pro-vision allowing a student to gainJanuary-term credit for an intern-ship. Developing a winter studyprogram at Conn would increasegraduation requirements, but wouldhelp form a stronger sense of com-munity outside the classroom. Aca-demic subjects could be studied ina more intensive environment,while time would remain to furthersports and extracurricular projectsgreatly.

In the October 30 issue of The Voice, it was incorrectly statedthat Megan Burbridge was working in The CONNtact office onThursday, October 15. Ms. Burbridge was actually working on theweekend edition of The CONNtact on Friday, October 16.

The following text was not placed in the October 30 article aboutThe CONNtact. It represents the final sentences of the article:

Bursar Donna Scott says that she is not aware of any formaldirective telling her what account in which to deposit the funds.She said that she receives a list from the l-Board Coordinator of- which students to bill, for how much, and makes a check out to J-Board. Cipriano added that the list designates whether the checkshould be made to J-Board or to Physical Plant ."_ The Third Annual Career Fair was sponsored by the Office of

Career Services. not OYCS.The title of the October 23 article concerning the Honor Code

was mistaken. The survey was comprised of students, of all classes,

not only freshmen.Don McCabe, mentioned in the Honor Code article of October

23, is the President of the Center for Academic Integrity.

So, our biennial exercise in gov-ernmental hijacking is over, and we,the American people, have so pre-dictably expressed our quirkiness inthe election of our officials. Whereelse but America could a manwhose professional name used toinclude "The Body" be the gover-nor of a state? Where else couldpeople vote for the Rooseveltianliberalism of a Democratic Senator,but then turn around and over-whelmingly re-eJect a fiscally andsocially conservative Governor?People need to make up their mindsas to which type of government theyprefer. As Sideshow Bob from ''TheSirnpsons" once said, "You out-wardly prefer the bleeding heart ofa Democrat, but deep down insideyou long for a Republican to lowertaxes, lower crime, and rule you likea king!" Perhaps that's what weAmericans really want. MaybeGeorge Washington made a mistakewhen he, like Caesar, rejected acrown, knowing full well whatwould come with it.

But the elections have a deepersignificance than just showing thatwe're all a bunch of fat-heads whowant to be led like sheep. Theyshow a deeper discordance betweenthe American people, between theleft and right balves of our collec-tive brain. In a New York Times ar-ticle from Thursday's edition, awriter showed that many quizzed inexit polls didn't care about Presi-dent Clinton's affairs, and just asmany wanted him booted out ofoffice for them. One man even citedthe idea that the President "has tohave family values." I would liketo ask that man, what family's val-ues is he talking about? Is he talk-ing about the family who lives inHarlem, where the son has a job tosupport his ailing. mother with nohealth care" Is he talking about thewealthy yet fragmented families weknow and love so well in theNortheast's upper crust? Or is heperhaps hearkening back to thatloveliest of American families,Ozzie and Harriet, wbo offscreen

were reportedly miserable and ma-nipulated into fame? The separationbetween reality and fantasy is al-ways the biggest intellectual gapthat the American public mustbreach at election time. The concep-tion that not all families have a stay-at-home mother and a dog namedSport seems to shock and appallmost voters, who would like to be-lieve that their chi \dhood TV showswere fight.

This willful, almost self-blindingnaivete truly is shocking; peoplewhose political sensibilities havebeen shattered by Watergate,Iran gate, and Monicagate still clingto the tattered remnants of the tradi-tional American family, which maynever have really existed at all. Fromcolonial times on, men left theirwomen for other women, shatteringhomes and breaking families. Theonly difference is now we get to seethe fallout on Jerry Springer.

That those bastions of maleaggression, our federal militaryacademies and armed services, haveoutlawed hazing speaks of the needto change old, unnecessary behav-iors.

My husband sometimes saysthat the planet needs a good warnow and then to control humanpopulation. My thoughts have beenthat the Xvgeneration perhaps needsa world war or holocaust to dealwith so that they can put their dailylives in perspective.

To the Editor:The Rugby Team at CC has a

history of performing non-"p.c."acts of bonding. Early in my ca-reer as Archivist of the College Iread in The Voice of the RugbyTeam's receiving reprimand for eat-ing tuna out of a portion of femaleanatomy of a woman in effigy. Isuppose what goes on on the otherside of the railroad tracks is theirbusiness. Or is it?

The Connecticut College honorcode is based on theAthenian code.Citizens of Athens agreed not tobring embarrassment to their citystate. The wording of our honorcode reads that "we will never, byany selfish or unworthy act, dis-honor this our college." What of-fends one, offends all. No man!woman is an island; etc ...etc ....

Although hazing was part of astudent activity in the late 1920's(sophomores ritualistically receivedthe brunt), the tradition did not con-

the logic that "we will have you lickout a can of tuna between the legsof a female dummy so that you willfeel like a real man" that doesn'twork.

That Rugby Team and its sup-porters cannot accept the punish-ment for the infringement perhapsspeaks to an underlying weaknessin the ability to be/support true war-riors: The "I can give scata, but 1cannot take it" syndrome. Possi-bly. these same people whine aboutgetting speeding tickets. Doesn'tgetting stepped on with cleats amillion times on a field ~fmud pro-vide enough suffering? Doesn'tplaying rugby against an opposingteam provide enough bonding? Soyou lost your license for a year.Pauvre Rugby Team. From an adultperspective, looking at the club'shistory, I'm glad.

fessors hired have a background ininternational studies and interdisci-plinary connections, or have sec-ondary fields of interest to maintaina broad liberal ans perspective.Provostof the College David Lewisbelieves that "building contactpoints between departments keepsthe curriculum young, vibrant. andexpanding." Lewis also assertswhat attracts many new facultymembers to the Connecticut Col-lege community is tbe "idea of be-ing pan of a smaller group that, bynature, has to work with othergroups." He also feels that "thesenew positions will allow the Col-

lege 10 hire faculty with diverse spe-cialities, further expanding learningopportunities for our students andmaking important contributions toour exceptional academic pro-grams."

In 101al, there are fifteen opentenure-track positions in the follow-ing departments: Art History, Com-puter Science, Economics, English,Film Studies, Human Develop-ment, French and Italian Studies,Music, Psychology, Russian andEast European Studies, Zoology,Hispanic Studies, and Mathematics.

Searches to fill the availablepositions have already begun using

continued from page Iset to waltzes by various composers. Themusic was performed live by Ethan Iversonon piano. "Canonic 3/4 Studies" featurednine of Morris' dancers in simple blackpants and white t-shirts against a pale bluebackdrop. Morris does not set his dancersin place and take them linearly through apiece. Instead, the groupings are constantlyintegrating, dropping, and reintegratingdancers. His interpretive connection to themusic has a striking depth that makes otherchoreography seem almost absent-minded.His concentration on every detail of themusic and the reflection of that detail in hischoreography is his signature.

The second piece, "The Office," intro-duced Morris himself. In clothes of theprofessional world, the seven featured danc-ers enacted a mysterious drama in which asinister woman with a clipboard continu-ally emerged from offstage to take the danc-ers off one by one. After each disappear-ance, the dancers were momentarily sub-dued, then squared their shoulders andgrabbed what joy they could, moving withincreasing abandon into a celebratorydance. The piece was set to the music ofDvorak, performed by Sarah Roth and Jcn-nifer Elowitch on violin, Jason Duckles onpiano, and Ethan Iverson on harmonium.Morris and the other dancers, in their stiffattire and unlikely setting, seemed to be anaccidental ensemble discovering dance onthe spot. This appealing gimmick made"The Office" a sweetly defiant ode to thepower of dance in a world of grim disci-pline.

The originally scheduled third number,"The Spell," was eliminated due to the in-jury of one of the main dancers. It was re-placed by "Greek 10 Me," a solo for Mor-ris, set to Henry Panarch's studies on an-cient Greek scales from "Eleven Intru-sions." "Greek to Me" was a quiet, intro-spective study in direct physical interpre-tation of sound. Jean Nordhaus of TheWashington Post gave an apt description ofMorris when she described him as one whomoves with the "winsome charm of a light-footed bear." Morris is improbably grace-ful despite his bulky frame and holds him-self with an elegance that is at once ethe-real and earthy.

The final piece, "Grand Duo" was setto the music of contemporary composer LouHarrison, performed by Sarah Roth on vio-lin and Ethan Iverson on piano. It featureda build-up of energy that culminated in arousing tribal dance by fourteen perform-ers.

Morris' choreography manages to beinnovative without flourishes. He has aunique ability to make his immensely tal-ented dancers not just interpreters of themusic, but embodiments of it Using themusic not as a jumping off point bUI as theessence of each dance is a subtly daring andvery effective method that makes Morris'work fascinating to witness.

Tour de Force Dido and Aeneas wows Conn audience•

By GLEN HARNISHstaff writer

The most important piece ofadv ice I can impart to anyone whois going to an opera is: go early. andmake sure you gel a program. Ifthere is any possibility. howeverremote, that there will be an insuf-ficient supply of programs for theaudience, do whatever it takes toguarantee that you will nor be oneof the unlucky, wretched souls leftempty handed when the singingstarts, If you have to kill someone,do it quietly. If you have to steal aprogram. make sure it is from some-one smaller than you, such as asmall child, preferably one who isnot accompanied by an adult. Nomatter what, get a program, studyit, and guard itjealously. As I foundoutlast Friday, trying to understandopera without a program is a verydifficult experience.

InHarkness Chapel on October30 at 7:30 p.m., the ConnecticutCollege Chamber Choir and OperaWorkshop presented their versionof Dido and Aeneas. The opera waswell attended and recei ved by anaudience composed of both stu-dents and community members.Upon arriving at the Chapel, I wassurprised by the size of the crowdwaiting to get in. When I finallymanaged to get in out of the cold, Iwas even more surprised to dis-cover that there were no programsleft. Undaunted, I sat down in one

r

f

of the last seats available and pre-pared to broaden my creative hori-zons.

As I learned from a programlater obtained by coercing an eld-erly woman.' ahumTate's librettofor Dido and Aeneas was drawnfrom Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid.'In other words. it's an old story,with modern implications. Theopera begins with Dido, the Queenof Carthage, in conversation withher advisor and confidante, Belinda.Things only get bener from there.Dido loves Aeneas, whose mascu-linity and valor are demonstrated byhis tremendous proficiency in kill-ing and beheading large monsters.Of course, he wants her too, butsome evil witches are in their way.The witches cause a lot of mayhem,including a bad thunderstorm,which is enough to keep Dido andAeneas from being together. In theend, Aeneas sails away after gettingdenied by the object of his affec-tion, and Dido dies.

About 10 minutes into the per-formance, J realized that the sing-. ing was done (al least partially) inEnglish. Like all good opera how-ever, it was impossible to under-stand the words. Instead, the audi-ence relied mainly on the emotionalimpact of the performance (andtheir programs) to follow alongwith the story. The set design andcostumes were modest: there was ablack backdrop, and the principalactors wore simple clothing. Thus,

away the best performance of theeveningwas delivered by ElizabethWohl. As Dido, she exercised herconsiderable vocal talents and stagepresence to captivate and exhilaratethe audience. The enthusiasm of thecrowd was apparent in the strengthand duration of their applause,which lasted for several minutes.

The evening appeared to be agreat success for the cast of Dido

and Aeneas. After filling HarknessChapel to its capacity, they man-

o aged to send the audience homefulfilled. I estimated this from theglowing expressions on the opera-goers faces and the words of highpraise in the!r post-performanceconversations. That, and the factthat no one wanted to give up theirprogram.

Elizabeth Wohl as Dido and Eric Long as Aeneas give a spectacular showing in Harkness Chapel last Friday.

the performance relied on thestrength of the singing, which wasquite good. Backed by the strongand polished sound of the choir, themain vocalists sang with precisionand passion for the most part. Inparticular, Eric Long in the role of"Aeneas and Hannah Schranun inthe role of Belinda demonstratedconsiderable ability in the areas ofboth music and drama. Far and

Fusionof coior and black WId white is as-tounding in this film with a l'ery ret-evam message. 2 hrs. 4 mill.With: Joan Allen. William H. Macy,Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon.Jeff Daniels. J. T. Wal:<;hDirected by: Gary Ross

*****Gary Ross' directorial debut,Pleasantville is a masterpiece ofenormous relevance. Like Big andDave (written by Ross),Pleasantville presents a fantasyworld from which we have a lot tolearn.

Tobey Maguire and ReeseWitherspoon play David and Jen-nifer, twins who each cope withtheir broken home in differentways. She is an adolescent rebelwhile he escapes to the fantasticalworld of "Pleasantville" as his par-ents argue over the phone. Onenight, an creepy TV repair'tnan(Don Knotts) shows up at the doorand offers them a special remotewith a little more "oomph." Withthe push of a button, David and Jen-nifer are pulled into the black andwhite world of "Pleasantville"where they fill in for Bnd and MarySue, the children of Betty (JoanAllen) and George Parker (WilliamH. Macy).

Reese Witherspoon as Mary SueParker prepares to 'pill' her dateup at Lover's Lane.

Jennifer reacts harshly, "I'mpasty!" she excJaims at her color-less skin, but this is a world thatDavid knows better than his own.David urges his sister to play alongso as not to disturb their universe.But in a town where nothing everhappens, things are bound to changewhen two 90's teens show up.

Taking her date to "Lover'sLane," Jennifer engages in the (forthis world) unthinkable, unspeak-able act, Her TV mother Betty asks,"What goes on up at 'Lover'sLane'?" and "What's sex?" Slowlytheir black and white world changesto color. First a rose, then a book,and eventually the people. Thechange to color is a reflection of thefact that people are beginning tohave independent thought. The

owner of the town diner, Mr.J.ohnson (Jeff Daniels) is ecstaticone night when he is able to divergefrom the way he's done things forso long-be closes the blinds andthen the register.

The color itself, beautifullyfused with the black and white,functions as a character of its own.It slowly takes over the town, giv-ing life and living one of its own.It is a characteristic desired by someand reviled by others. When Bettyturns to color, George consoles her,"It'll go away." Herreply- "I don'twant it to go away!"

Much to George's chagrin, 'hereturns home from work one nightin the rain (it has never beforerained in Pleasantville) to an emptyhouse with - NO DINNER. Hejoins his fellow Chamber of Com-merce members, including themayor (the late J. T. Walsh in hisfinal performance), at the bowlingalley. Together, they lay down newlaws regarding the "coloreds."They soon discover that no one canhide his true colors.

"Pleasantville," the TV show, isitself a mockery of shows that at-tempted to reflect Eisenhower'sAmerica, such as "Father KnowsBest" and "Leave It to Beaver," apost wwn bliss in which nothingcould go wrong. The 50's were nota wholly innocent time as somewould have us think - rememberMcCarthyism. Pleasantvilledoesn't attempt to show us that the90's are decadent, but that we know'how to handle the problems we dohave.

Thyme & Place iscloser than you thinkBy TODD KLARIN

staff writer

Nestled next to YellowFrontPackageStoreonWil- RESTAURANTIiams Street and just a fewfeet from La Esquina con-venience store lies theeclectic restaurant Thyme& Place, whose GrandOpening was just twoweeks ago. A lunch anddinner eatery, their menu serves up a tasty blend of ethnic and inter-national cuisine.

As you enter, you leave behind depressed downtown WilliamsStreet and move into a very pleasant dining ambiance to which Iwoulddefinitely take my parents. In fact, it's perfect for parents who havecome up to see you and don't want to drive a long way after the long-haul to New London. Their menu features a wide array of tasty pas-tas, stir fries, and entrees featuring steak, shrimp, scrod, veal, andchicken prepared in various sauces as well as an assortment of appe-tizers ranging from wild mushrooms in puff pastry to crab cakes totofu dengako.

As my date and I entered, we were courteously greeted and es-corted to our table where we were promptly served a large wheat rollto nibble while we perused the menu. I decided on the pasta primavera,and my date ordered the hreast of duck.

All entrees come with a house salad with finely chopped veg-etables, which was a wonderful change from the large pieces thatdining services places in the salad bar line. The pasta primavera camewith spinach, broccoli, red peppers, and mushrooms in a tomato shal-lot sauce, the tasty blend of big chunks of vegetables over the pennenoodles was a gastronomic sensation that pleased my palate.

The breast of duck, which came lightly ~moked in a wild cherryglaze, came with an array of colorful and seasoned vegetables. Theduck was well cooked, not too smoky to overpower the flavor of theentree. The cherry glaze was a pleasure - it was not too sweet andcomplemented the duck well. The vegetables were a little too sea-soned for her taste, but were still well cooked.

staff writer

On October 29, Janusz Glowacki appeared at an infor-mal open house in Palmer Auditorium. Glowacki wroteCinders, a play about Polish schoolgirls, which will be per-formed November 19 - 21.

The playwright was born in Poland, but he has lived inEngland and Russia, and he currently resides in New York.A Conn alumnus put Donny Levit, the Cinders director, intouch with Glowacki. Levit was especially enthusiasticabout the cast's opportunity to meet and interact with theplaywright.

Theater students formed the majority of the audience,and they sat in a circle around Glowacki, who fielded theirquestions with a strong Polish accent. He tried to explainhis conception of Cinders repeatedly, describing it as a tragi-comedy about what really exists. "It's a play about peoplewho have the courage to say 'no.?'

Glowacki said that he based his play upon the fariy taleCinderella because there are hundreds of versions aroundthe world, including modern versions like Pretty Woman,so it resonates in every culture. In this way, it is "a meta-phor for the human condition."

The play also involves violence, which initially seemslike a more direct commentary on Eastern Europe. How-ever, Glowacki asserted that domestic violence, anti-Sernitism, and hate crimes happen throughout the world.The Communists suppressed these sentiments and activi-ties, and when the regime collapsed, they came out intothe open for the first time in decades. Since the play is setin the t970's, it describes these simmering feelings andforeshadows their eruption.

Cinders has been performed all over the world, andGlowacki spoke briefly about the differences that occur ondifferent stages. In Eastern Europe, the government cen-sored it heavily. There have even been few differencesbetween American and English audiences, although thelatter understand totalitarianism better. Beyond the play'slocation, Glowacki said that he enjoyed watching collegesand universities produce it. The main characters are youngwomen, so adult professionals are less convincing in thoseroles.

Eric Levai, one of the actors in Conn's production, askedGlowacki how he became a playwright. With a smile, he

In the midst of political uproar,two New London artists, W. R.Hurshman and Christopher Z. Y.Zhang, have brought Tibetan cul-ture and tradition to life with theirexhibit "Tashi-Deley: A Personal. Journey to Tibet." Hurshman'sphotographs and Zhang's oil paint-ings are currently on display at theNew London Art Society Gallery indowntown New London.

Chinese-occupied Tibet isZhang's homeland, and the artisthas made it his quest to visuallypreserve the Tibetan minority, agroup of people the governmentseeks to annihilate. His vivid por-traits, on display in the lower gal-lery, reveal more than just villag-ers. Zhang paints pure humanity;his subjects' eyes express every-thing from hunger to joy. 1n hisstatement in the gallery's program,Zhang writes: "My paiotings rep-resent not only what Isee. but whatI feel as well. They are tlie arlisticmedia through which I can commu-nicate with the world."

He speaks with admiration oftheir "unique costumes, boldness,and romanticism." The lush "Pray,"an evocative image of women pros-trating in ceremonial dress, was es-pecially compelling. The two larg-est works, ''The World of TibetanMen" and ''The World of TibetanWomen," show the spectrum of vil-lagers from rich to poor and youngto old, revealiog both cultural and

responded that he didn't remember. Then he elaborated, say-ing that he started with short stories and then moved ontoscreenplays. The Polish government takes movies more se-riously than the theater, so they censor the former more thanthe latter. In order to gain artistic freedom, Glowacki movedto the stage, although he occasionally finds it painful to beso close to his audience, where he can see their reactionsimmediately, He likes the unique energy in the theater; ashow's success can depend on so many variables and canchange dramatically from performance to performance.

Glowacki dearly feels a close connection with his audi-

ence, so he has grappled with the need to move them. Hefeels that it is especially difficult to affect people today, inthe end of this century. He tries to grab the audience'sattention through humor and irony and then deliver deepertruths. "J don't believe in tragedy right now," he declared.

Antigone in New York, another play of Glowacki '5, iscurrently being filmed in New York. Also, the film ver-sion of Cinders is showing at this year's Cannes Film Pes-tlval. Glowacki is an interesting and talented man, andConn's upcoming production of Cinders·should provesimilarly engaging.

Gaudiani works for women's rights in SNET strikeBy KAREN O'DONNELL

associate news editor

In late August 1998. 6,300unionized S ET (Southern ewEngland Telephone) employeeswalked off the job in dissatisfactionwith the company's "premium costshifting on bealth care:' stratifiedwage system, relatively low wages,and inllexible work schedules. Inan attempt to end the strike, Presi-dent Claire Gaudiani, who sits onthe SNET Board of Directors, metwith female workers to discuss thetreatment of women at the com-pany.

Having twice met withGaudiani to discuss the conflict.SNET operator Kim lancowitz ex-plained the operators' working con-ditions and Gaudiani's involvementin the strike.

After working thirteen years atSNET, lancowitz took time off forher children. However, when shereturned to the company, Jancowitzwas forced to start over at an entry-level position, earning a signifi-cantly smaller salary. As an openl-

tor, Jancowitz experienced a dras-tically different work environment."I've never wirnessed anything likethis-lhe way women are treated.Ifelt like I was back in the 1950's:'lancowilZ said, regarding the splitshifts and six-day work weeksmany female operators were forcedto work.

Aware of Gaudiani's active in-volvement in women's rights andber position on the SNET board, agroup of ten female strikers askedher for help. "We were hoping sbewould listen to what was going on,and the company was totally ignor-ing us," Jancowitz said. The com-pany "didn't know what the workconditions were really like. Womenwere geuing the bad end of thestick. "

Althougb Gaudiani agreed tomeet with the workers, she can-celled the first meeting. Accordingto Jancowitz, Gaudiani "found out[the workers] were going to leaflet[the campus on the same day thatstudents moved in] ... and she can-celled the meeting because shethought she had been dealt with

unfairly." However, Jancowitz af-firmed that the campus allowed theunion to leaflet and that they were"given special rights" to peacefullydistribute fliers on campus.

Gaudiani later agreed to meetwith the women on the grounds thatshe would be there to listen andcould not make any guarantees."Sbe listened and seemed genuinelyconcerned," Jancowitz said. Ac-cording to Jancowitz, Gaudiani toldthem that "she couldn't just go inand complain and expect results.She had to be subtle. She could passon information but was not in aposition to complain." One of thewomen's primary concerns washow to deal with the company whenexpressing their concerns andneeds. They thought that simplyaddressing the problems would beenough to convince the company tomake the necessary changes, butJancowitz said that Gaudiani toldthem that they "couldn't do that.The board had to be dealt with."

Feminist Majority promotes awarenessBy TIFFANY TABER

staff writer

The Feminist Majority, a littleknown group on campus yet inter-nationally-based organization, ishoping to gain recognition at Con-necticut College by promotingawareness of Domestic ViolenceMonth.

The Majority is a relativelysmall group, represented by onlyabout ten members -.However, thesestudents are actively involved inpromoting knowledge about theirorganization and its views. Accord-ing to sophomore member MiaHaber, "This group on campus isstill in its informative and educa-tional stages." Since the group isso small, it is ctifficult to get differ-ent events and activities coordi-nated. Therefore, the group, thoughan important representitive of manystudents' views, is not very well-known on campus.

At this point in time, the orga-nization is basically focused on in-fanning students about their pres-ence and about the often controver-sial views which they support. Onan international and campus level,the Majority supports such issuesas equal rights, womens' rights, af-firmative action, and pro-choice.Although these issues seem to behighly political, most of the mem-bers do not believe that the actualorganization is solely politically-oriented. Haber stated, "We dohave a political stance because wedeal with issues like pro-choice leg-islation, but we are not yet a real'political group' on campus."

At a national level, the FeministMajority Foundatioo is headed bywomen's rights leader EleanorSmeal. A recent press release de-tailing the organization stated, '''TheFoundation is in the forefront ofcreating innovative feminist re-search, education, and training pro-grams for women's equality andempowerment." The associationhas offices on both the East andWest Coasts and is governed by aten member board.

The Foundation was formed in1987 and has led many public edu-cation campaigns on issues includ-ing ''The Pill" and ContraceptiveResearch. It has also produced twodocumentaries on abortion and theimpact of parental consent and no-tification laws that have won nu-merous awards.

On campus, the organizationhas tried to maintain activities per-taining to current social issues andevents sponsored by the nationalFoundation. Last year, incommemeration of the twenty- fifthanniversary of the Roe versusWade decision, the Feminist Major-ity had a quilt and information tablesupporting pro-choice in the studentcenter. This year, the group is hop-ing to set up another informativetable in Crozier-Williams pertain-ing to domestic violence month.With the start of this month, the

group is trying to gain student rec-ognition. However, since the groupis small, events are quite difficultto organize. Mia Haber com-mented, "We've not gotten on top.of things as much as we would liketo. Our main focus right now iseducating people and maintaininga core [group]."

On both national and regionallevels, the Majority is primarily .concerned with the rights of womenand promoting the feminist view-point. One member stated, 'There'san extraordinary amount of apathyon this campus about feminism.People are actually afraid of theword."

The group is hoping to becomemore widely known and appreci-ated through different campusevents and demonstrations that theyplan to spons~r.

Gaudiani, but just meeting with theworkers was a benefit to the strik-ers. "The company wouldn't evenlook at us," Jancowitz said.Gaudiani's meetings with us "werenegative publicity for SNET be-cause workers had to go outside thecompany to be listened to."

Now that the strike is over,Jancowitz is not sure how much ofan impact Gaudiani had on the newcontract. "Gaudiani told us that shewould speak to the board members,but I don't know if she did,"lancowitz said. "We didn't get avery good contract. Conditionshaven't changed that much."

Despite the current conditions,Jancowitz is grateful for Gaudiani 'stime and interest, despite any dam-age her meeting might have causedher reputation as a SNET boardmember. She "was taking a risk,especially as a woman," lancowitzsaid. ''The fact that she was will-ing to sit and meet with us gives hercredit. You don't often see a boardmember sitting down with employ-ees."

Despite any personal or corpo-rate risk involved, PresidentGaudiani said she met with thestrikers out of duty as a board mem-ber and compassion as a woman.Gaudiani said that although" direc-tors have an obligation not to inter-fere with management," she feelsthat "directors have an obligationto listen to all levels in a company."Gaudiani said that it was initially'somewhat difficult to maintain theappropriate balance between direc-tor and advisor. "I had to fulfillexpectations of compassion [towardthe strikers] and not violate my trustas a director. However, the womenwere sensitive to my position [onthe board of directors], and I wassensitive to theirs."

Although Gaudiani has not metwith the women since the night be-fore the contract was signed, shesays that their meetings had a pro-found impact on her. Gaudiani saidthat they all "left expectations at thedoor and met and discussed as in-telligent women with the samegoals for a strong company."

Just asexpected, the Pats lost their nexttwo games, one against thescum of the NFL the New YorkJets, and the other against theMiami Dnlphins. Suddenly, thePats were no longer feared, anda not-so-convincing win overthe Colts last Sunday didn'tseem to help.

But, there is hope. The Patshave played their last twogames without all of their star-ing wide receivers along withtheir starting fullback, all due to

injury. All of these playersshould be back relatively soon,which will definitely improvetheir recent lackluster offensiveperformances. In addition,rookie wide receiver TonySimons really stepped up lastweek and left even the mostpessimistic Pats fans with agood taste in their mouths.Rnokie running back RobertEdwards is on a pace to gainover 1000 yards this season andquarterback Drew Bledsoe hasplayed some of the best footballof his career. Also, the signingof the 37-year-old wide receiver

Henry Ellard has paid somedefinite dividends and he couldcome in handy while some ofthe injuries are stiU healing.

The Patriots are definitely aplayoff caliber team and shouldend up making it as far as theAFC Championship game.However, they have the thirdhardest second-half schedule inthe entire NFL, with their op-ponents winning over 60% oftheir games this year. Therefore,only time will tell just how goodthe 1998 New England Patriotswill actually be.

scrambled for a goal, but the Cameldefense held and preserved the 1-0lead as the final hom sounded.

Williams ended up with a 13-10 edge in penalty corners, butConn oulshot the Ephs 10-7. Firstyear goaltender Danielle Leblanc'99 had another spectacular gamein net making seven saves and re-cording another shutout.

Althnugh this game had nobearing on post-season play, Connplayed outstanding and sent a mes-sage to the rest of NESCAC thatthey are a young, talented team thatwill give any squad trouble in theyears to come. The Camels endedthe year 4-10.

Coach Anne Parmenter agreesthat this was a disappointing sea-son for Conn, but not for the rea-sons that their record would indi-cate. "The fact of the matter is,"Parmenter remarks, "that we wereplaying good hockey all year. Ourrecord shows that we were a me-diocre field hockey team, but thatsimply is not the case." Parmenterstated that had the ball bounced theother way, or a few calls were re-versed in a couple of games, theteam could easily have been .500.It cannot go unsaid that Connplayed one of the toughest, if notthe toughest, schedules inNESCAC facing eight nationallyranked teams in their fourteengames, including third ranked Trin-ity, one of those games Parmenterfeels her team could have won.

Parmenter credits goaltenderDanielle leBlanc with much of theteam's success. "She saved the sea-son from total disaster. This was herfirst year playing and other teamsdid not take her seriously at first.She ended up playing incredible for

us in goaJ this year," Parmenterpraises. For her first year, Leblanctruly did step up and play great forConn.

The win over the Ephs onlymade it harder for the team to waitfor next season. "We are all

pumped for next year, if we couldstart this weekend we would,"Parmenter states. The squad con-tained eleven freshman whichmakes for twenty-two out of twentyfour returning players for Parmenternext fall. The team is also expect-

ing good recruits to come in andcontribute next year.

The Williams game also markedthe final game for LeBlanc anddefense man and co-captain PamRnbbins '99 who will be missedgreatly by her teammates next year.

All in all, the win over the Ephswas a positive end to a frustratingseason for the field hockey team.But the win has only motivated theCamels to succeed next year. So,look for the team to come out fir-ing in 1999.

Men's soccer faces defeat against Williams, 3-0Bv JASON HORWITZ

MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY

'IIIDnihil IIr IICC.lllnd Indl.1 reclrdbreillog 111110

The men's soccer team took on a solid Williams squadlast Saturday on Harkness Green. The Camel defenseplayed exceptionally well for the majority of the game,but the Ephs constant offensive pressure finally wore downthe Conn fullbacks, scoring three goals in a span of sixminutes late in the second-half of the game to wrap up tbevictory 3-0.

As much as the score would indicate a blowout byWilliams, this, in reality, was not the case. Conn stuckwith the talented Ephs for the whole game, and it was justmomentary lapses that led to the Williams goals, the firstcoming 70:46 into the game. Their defense was the mainreason the Camels hung in for so long. The unit of ZachBarber '00, Quinn Witte '00, Chris Mudho '0 I, and ChrisMassey '02 played outstanding soccer throughout game.

This is not to say that the offense gave no contribu-tion; they did. Tile Camels had superb offensive rushesled by co-captains, Jaime Tuttle '99, and Jonah Fontela'99, which ended in near misses. The Conn forwards madeit necessary for the Williams goalie to have to make somegreat saves on shots that seemed that they would be goalscoring.

Despite having to negotiate fourteen more shots thanthe Williams keeper, Conn goaltender Ian Bauer '99 had asolid day in goal making ten saves. Kyle Sheffield alsosaw some action late in the _gameand made two stops .

.Conn drops to 6~6~1on the season with this tough loss,but they hope to rebound in their season finale this Satur-day on Harkness Green when they take on Western Con-necticut State.

The men's cross country teamhas been one of the biggest sur-prises of the fall season, as theyhave constantly battled back fromadversity to establish one of thegreat teams in Camel history.Graduation and injuries took theirtoll on the team, as only five run-ners were present at the first prac-tice, down from last year's total ofsixteen. The lack of experienceimmediately hurt the team, evidentin their poor showing in all of theirearly races. The season lookedhopeless.

Only two races remain in this

The playoffs kicked off with a bang thisweek. Raul's Fruitstand played a highly con-tested game against the Usual Suspects. Thegame was (not really) a thrill a minute.

The U.S. were the firstto get on the boardas Mike Semprucci, trying desperately tomake up for past games, threw a touchdownpass to Josh Ogden. The boys from theFruitstand quickly answered as DavidMcMurtry connected with Jeff Perkins to tieup the contest at seven. Little did theFruitstand know that the combination ofSemprucci to Ogden was not over. Ogdenvictimized them, yet again, on a bomb fromthe maturing Semprucci.
