"Respect Ally Fear None "
Keller/Wicker Wins Election
by John Haines
Editor-in-Chief
On May 12 and 13, MCC
held elections for Student Government for the 1992-93 school
year. "I think it went great, we
doubled last year's vote and I'm
very pleased," said Election
Commissioner Rebecca Wright.
Two years ago the voter turnout
was 660 and last year the number of students that voted were
267, whereas this semester 532
participated in the election balloting, including 31 ballots from
the Damon City Center.
The outcome was as follows: The team of Tom Keller
and Kelly Wicker is President
and Vice-President with 282
votes, Shawn Hassall is our
Board of Trustees Representative with 288 votes, and the eight
senators are Teddy Brown, Greg
Burr, Johnny Cole, Rob Compton, Lisa Krotz, Jodi Oriel, Rodney, and Sean Thompson.
Another item on the voting agenda was the amendment

MCC's President Spina threw
the whole stadium issue a major-league curve. President Spina publicly endorsed MCC as a
possible stadium site.
"MCC is a central site, I
have no problem with a new
stadium and I feel MCC is the
best possible site," said Spina.
President Spina, a former
"wild thing" lefty fireballer at
Albany State, likes the idea of an
exit off 390 just for the stadium
and MCC students.
"There is a great job potential for MCC students, and we
are right on the city border,"
Spina added.
President Spina also has
some good ideas: A large sign
like the Mapledale Party House
has to announce games and upcoming events; if the stadium
has to be "in the city," the property can be annexed; MCC is
located in themiddleofthecounty and is a non-residential area;
and the MCC baseball team
would have a much deserved
home.
Themajorquestionbehind

taking. An Urban Development

cities in New York State to use
for stadiums and arenas. Binghamton, Syracuse and Buffalo
havealready jumped on the boat
that Rochester is in danger of
missing.
A new stadium will boost
the economy in Rochester. To
build, a lot of contractors will
have much needed jobs. There
will be a restaurant inside the
stadium with full time employees. The fan total will potentially increase from 2,000 a game to
15-20,000 a game. That means
the Red Wings will need more
personnel.

Keller stated that he will announce his plans and priorities
after commencement since that
is when he actually begins his
reign.
Wright did add that the
voter turnout in the City Center
was not as expected. "Basically,
they need more advertisement

The people that came up and
actually voted had no idea of

Instructional material is

A Trip Of
Choice
The air was brisk and the
sun shone brightly. Mother Nature was truly working in collaboration with the spirit of the
day. That spirit was bright and
warm like the sun, yet brisk like
the air that would not refrain or
go unnoticed. And neither
would thecrowds that had gathered, over half a million strong,
go unnoticed.
These crowds gathered
peacefully but with enthusiasm.
They were not there to block the
passage of others or to prevent
anyone else's rights. Nor were
they there to pass judgment.
They were only there to speak
for themselves and to voice their
message - the message of
CHOICE.
I know this because I was
there too. It was April 5, 1992
and it was the March for Women's Rights in Washington, D.C.
I marveled at the diversity of the
others that had come. Whole
families came. Mothers and
daughters came accompanied
by their grandmothers and
grandfathers. Sisters joined
friends from across all parts of
the country. Some traveled by
wheelchairs, but most walked;
even those led by seeing eye
dogs.
Many came dressed in
white representative of the original suffragettes. Others wore
sweats and sneakers for comfort, while others wore birkenstocks and bajas. Some were
even adorned in fur It seemed as
though every walk of life was
represented.
They travelled from as far
away as Maine and California.
And they came by bus tromlMew
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
Rhode Island, and New York
and many other states.
They represented groups
like Catholics for Choice, Conservative Rabbis, and the Religious Coalition for Choice. And
they came as students from
Swarthmore College, Radcliffe,
Wellesley, Kent State, University of Buffalo, Bryn Mawr, University of Rochester, and Monroe Community College.
And just as clearly as the
breathtaking cherry blossoms
lining the banks of the Potomac
River and the daffodils standing staunchly along the Washington roadways sprung forth

Many Thanks,
Much Fun
Nine days of being with
the "Spring Breakers" has reenforced our belief and faith in
the youth of today. We here at
MCC should be very proud of
our students. We had a first hand
- front row seat - on our group.
Although "Spring Break"
much more. It is the conduit of
hope through which continuity
of a system of values is passed
from generation to generation.
To say that the very essence of
the existence of a people is their
culture, is not too strong a statement. This is what America took
from
African-Americans
through the institution of slavery.
I suspect that the loss of a
culture entails a much more
difficult process of recovery. Perhaps a more difficult recovery
than would be the case from
mass genocide. Thus, there is
legitimacy to the claim of continuing repercussions from the
institution of slavery.
Slavery was a national institution of enslaved.economic
servitude. A system which greatly enhanced the wealth of this
nation. At the same time it
robbed a people of the very
things which we are surprised
to see lacking in African Americans today. Things such as: unity of purpose, family bonding,
respect for education, the work
ethic, self identity, self respect
and self responsibility.
If this is true, then the civil
unrest in our cities is not an urban problem. Although it creates the "urban problem." Neither is it a racial problem, even
though it creates problems of
race. On the same hand, it is not
a problem of equal justice, welfare or economics. Those are
merely symptoms. The problem
is an American problem.
An American problem
which has been festering since
the Emancipation Proclamation.
Like a na tional disease contained
through the application of various medicinal doses of civil
rights programs, such as incarceration, urbanization and class
separation. A disease under submission most of the time. Periodically this disease erupts into
national urban sores, obvious
and very American.
For America to effectively
deal with "it's" problem, she
must first recognize slavery as
the cause. Any program of relief
must seek to reverse the effects
of slavery, as opposed to the
concept of addressing and tar-
is considered to be a good time
for the "Students" they always
found time to include us in the
fun. And fun it was. Thanks for
taking the time out of your
"Spring Break" to make our
"Spring Break" a memorable
one.
All this fun in the sun was
done in good taste. On a scale of
1 -10, MCC's group rates a 10.
There were students from all
over the country at Daytona
Beach. All had fun, but some of
their fun was at others expense a destructive, senseless waste of
time and energy destroying
property. Our students knew
how to party and still showed
respect for others property and
people around them. For this,
our hats are off to them.
The bus ride was long and
uncomfortable, but the students
made it fun with their great sense
of humor. We would like to
thank the students for adhering
to the rules and policies stated
for the bus ride.
To mention a few outstanding events:
Sal and Gina were trying
to dance...
Troll and Mark didn't have
to walk the plank, but they were
captured by Captain Hook...
Chip didn't burn his buns,
but still won a prize..
Jim did toast his buns, and
he won a prize also..
Mary did "bungie"....
Tammy and Mary learned
how to handle the situations!!!!!!!
Tony and Andy took care
of "Big Red & BLue Bulls"...
Big Eddie definitely made
a big splashDawn and Karen did well
with their "Kareoca" and "talent" contests
Oh yes, they did swim,
play volleyball, had a few brews,
danced the night away, and all
in all had a great time with old

The
Traveling
Nurses
I am a nursing student who
will be starting clinical nursing
classes in thefall. Iamconcerned
with the decision to move the
nursing program to the Damon
Center. I know this will mean
more room for the faculty and
staff who it seems have not had
adequate space for quite some
time. My concern is from the
standpoint of the student. It
seems we will be required to
pay for parking downtown. As
a single parent with more than
enough expenses as it is, it seems
one more added burden to bear
and add to the already growing
parking expenses. Also, I will be
required to take other classes.
This means driving back and
forth and being constantly divided as to where I belong. Not
to mention the extra wear and
tear on my already aging car.
My other concern is personal. I
have grown accustomed to
working out on my lunch periods in the Human Performance
Lab. It now seems like this will
be added commuting time. I
guess I'll just have to see what
possibly can work in to my
schedule. It seems a shame to

326-328 over Broome. They both
shot 79's.
Scott Chesna, Tim Knittle
and Mike Vogt all shot 84.
However, it was the 17th

the hole, and MCC bogied.

If Rochester doesn't grab
the money, Buffalo will. Plans
for a downtown Buffalo sports
arena are ready as soon as Rochester passes up the chance to use
it. There are also numerous cities in the nation that would jump
at the chance of a AAA team.
After all, there are only 28 of
them, and 90% of the Baltimore
Orioles roster is former Rochester Red Wings. Many cities
would jump at the chance for
that kind of talent to pass
through their town.
With the new large number of people passing through
downtown, or to MCC for a 7 or
7:30 game, area businesses will
be busy, especially restaurants.
My idea is for some smart restauranteurs to offer buy one got
one dinners or free drinks when
you show your Red Wing ticket
for that nights game. After the
game, maybe a concert.
