Judge, Jury and Executioner
SGA Impeaches Former

By Angel E. Sanchez
Editor in Chief
Two impeachment trials in two
years, the NSUSGA has been extremely busy. In a twenty-minute
trial, nine senators decided the fate
of an already resigned student government officer.
Six Senators, Arik Chellew,
Jared Tacher, Danny Flynn, Debbie
Baker, Chris Hannon, and Chris
Blackwell charged Alyson Dion,
Vice President of Judicial Affairs,
with 8 charges. See the sidebar fora
direct excerpt from their written
complaint delivered to the Organizational Standards Board (OSB).
OSB asked the Vice President of
Judicial Affairs to respond to these
charges, after interviews of the respondents had already begun. After
reviewing her response, OSB decided that charges 1-6 and 8 were not
grounds for impeachment. .Some
questions arose regarding charge 7.
Before OSB reached their decision,
however, Dion resigned from her
position. Because the NSUSGA
Constitution states that "a resignation by a respondent shall not terminate impeachment proceedings in the
inquiry{)r trial stage" (Article IX,
Section l), OSB referred charge 7 to
the Senate.
From here, Senate at an unannounced closed meeting voted to call
a trial. Which raises a good question as to why did not the SGA give
the 72 hour advanced notice of their
closed meeting as required by their
own Constitution. Along with
charge 7, the Senate overturned
OSB's decision and reinstated
charges 4, 5, and 8 as well. After
Dion asked Paul Wisniewski, Vice
President of Legislative Affairs, for
"complete disclosure," it was revealed that Senate did not have a
quorum present to overturn OSB's
decision. However, proxy votes allowed a trial decision for charge 7
only.
On November 1, 1998, at noon,
the trial took place, and a~ mentioned earlier, only took twenty minutes. Dion was not present for this
hearing. When asked why, shereplied, "This has been going on for
two months, and despite my resig-.
. nation, they wished to press' the
matter. I refused to give them any
more of my time... I knew that I
would not receive a fair trial."
James Baker, prosecutor and
OSB Justice, handed out a "packet
ofinformation" to the jury members
before the trial was called to order.
This packet included: copies of the
original, unsigned written complaint
given to OSB which included ALL
of the charges mentioned in the
sidebar, copies of Dion's response,
as well as copies of the OSB
Justice's individual decisions and
opinions. Please note that trial only
regarded charge 7. Later this
"packet" was entered into evidence
during J. Baker's opening statement.
To add another twist to this case,
the people who brought the initial
charges, sat as the jury. Furthermore, the first witness called to testify was Debbie Baker-a Senator,
the wife of the prosecutor, a signer
of the written complaint, and a jury
member.
Throughout the entire trial no
"witness" ever stated that Dion disclosed a specific name or position
to the Director ofStudent Life, Brad
Williams. Only one question was

On Saturday, October 17, 1998,
the NSUSGA Leadership Development Committee held their first Fall
Leadership Symposium. The goal of
the symposium was to help students
develop leadership skills related to
"Juggling College Life."
The morning began with a brief
activity that dealt with an introduction of each participant. Brad Williams, the Director of Student Life,
started off the first interactive learning activity which taught us how to
juggle with scarves, then tennis balls.
The next activity involved "group
juggling," and participants were divided into three groups. The main
objective of the activity was to master handling as many tennis balls as
possible without dropping them. The
final activity, the "prisoner's dilemma," allowed students to work as
a group, while learned how to understand and process other's opinions and needs. All activities dealt
with time management, effective
communication skills, trust, group
decision-making, taking risks, and
learning how to place limits.
The second part of the symposium included the Adventure Learning Ropes Course at BCe. This allowed the attendees to implement the
ideas stressed in the earlier portion
ofthe day. The day closed with a big'
risk taking task: walking a tight rope
thirty-five feet above ground. Attendees described the day as "well
worth while," "the best learning experience they have had at any leadership conference," and "very powerful information."
The participants included members from the Pre Med Society, the
Psychology Club, NATURE, Phi
Sigma Sigma, Alpha Phi Omega,
Theta Delta Chi, Beta Theta Pi, and
the NSUSGA. In addition, there
were several other attendees who
were not part of an organization at
NSU.
The Leadership Development
Committee is open to any undergraduate activity fee paying student
interested in contributing ideas and
time into future leadership events.

The Wellness Center's
Smart Drink Off
By Vanessa Leret
Contributing Writer
Undergraduate students got together on Thursday, October 22nd,
to celebrate National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week with the
Smart Drink contest that has become
a campus tradition over the last five
years. 'Eleven teams competed this
year to make the tastiest "smart
drink." Each drink was made of a
wide variety of ingredients with no
rules and no limitations... except no
alcohol. Some of the ingredients in
these drinks were as sweet asOreo
cookies to as sour as Tabasco sauce!
Drinks were judged on four different categories including originality,
taste, appearance, and creativity of
the name. There were four smart
drinks in this year's competition. The
third runner up was the "Witches'
Brew," made by Steve Warrick and
a group of resident advisors. The
second runner up was the "Cherry
Popper," by Marne Graden and a
second team of resident advisors.
The first runner up was the very
"Sinful Desire," made by Alison
Dion and the Cross Country
Women?s team. Finally, this year's
winning smart drink was the "Kiss
of Mint," made by Sherrie Helms
and the stafffrom the Wellness Center. The Wellness Center, however,
gave the T.G.I.Friday's gift certificates to the other winning teams. The
event was lots offun and a great suc-
cess. The Wellness Center thanks all
ofthe people who were involved and
looks forward to next year's competition.

The San Martin Zoological Gardens is a non-profit organization located in Banos, Ecuador, about four
hours from the capital city ofQuito.
The Zoological Gardens cares for injured and neglected wildlife in the
Ecuadorian Cloud Forest Region.
The zoo's mission is to educate the
public about the native wildlife, conserve species and rehabilitate injured
animals. The Gardens has over 100
species of birds and animal in its

Once is Too Much
By Ben Levy
Contributing Writer
The month of October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Nova Southeastern University
along with Hillel and other local
organizations conducted events to
promote awareness, honor survivors, and remember those who did
not survive battles of domestic violence. The Office of Residential
Life at Nova took part in three
projects to promote the fight against
domestic violence.
On Friday, October 16, 1998,
Hillel and Residential Life sponsored a shabbat dinner. All students
were invited to come and learn
about the Jewish shabbat. The
highlight of the evening was a
speech given by Jay Leen, a survivor of domestic violence. She
spoke about her personal struggle,
the need for an end to domestic violence. She also presented facts and
answered questions. She said, "If
one woman is abused, it is too
much. It should never happen." A traveling exhibit, referred to as the clothesline
project, was exhibited at the
dinner held in the Law
School Atrium. The following week Goodwin Residence Hall housed the exhibit. This clothesline contained T-shirts made by survivors, expressing their emotions involved with their violent situations.
On Monday, October 19,
1998, a county-wide event
known as "Light a Fire,
Share a Vision," was held in
honor of all the people previously involved with domestic violence. This event,
sponsored by Women in Dis~
tress, Jewish Women International, and the Domestic
Violence Council, first gathered at the Broward County
Courthouse. As the event
progressed, notable members of the county, such as
the Chief Judge, Senator,
District Attomey ofBroward County,
and Presjpents of all the'organizations involved, spoke about their personal efforts towards the fight against
domestic violence. The day commenced at the Women in Distress
clinic where the voices of survivors
were heard. Children victims, as well
as women, spoke on their personal
battles and the necessity for such
atrocities to be stopped. The gay
chorus of Broward County chanted
beautifully as a candle was lit for
each person that died from abuse,
every person affected by abuse, and
every person that has not had the
courage to come forth and confront
their battle with abuse. There are so
many victims that they ran out of
candles.
At Goodwin Residence Hall, a
table was set. up for the past week
with information about domesticviolence. In Broward County a case of
domestic violence occurs every 30
seconds. Domestic Violenceaccounts for approximately 35% of all

Soccer Drives This Man
By Salina Vavia
Sports· Editor
The sport soccer runs deep in
senior Christian Goffi's heart. His
passion started when he played soccer in the streets of Buenos Aires,
Argentina, at the age offive. He did
not play organized soccer until he
came to the States at twelve.
Starting organized soccer at
twelve years old is almost considered late in the United States, when
parents are. filling teams with players who are only six years old.
Goffi's "late start" hardly affected
his development as a soccer player
because he is now considered one
ofNova Southeastern University's,
as well as the Florida Sun
Conference's, top forwards.
Goffi, from Weston, Florida, is
the leading scorer for Nova Southeastern University's Men's soccer
team. At the beginning of the season, a "Goffi Watch" (appropriately
named by Nova Southeastern
University's Sport Information Director Mike Laderman) that would
count down the goals until Goffi
would break the record (50) for the
most career goals. He has since surpassed the record at 51 goals as of
10-28-98.
Goffi is a very strong competitor who keeps challenging himself
at every practice and every game.
He knows what keeps him focused,
himself} " I'm inspired mostly by
myself, no matter how good or mediocre I play, I know I can do better.
That is all I need to motivate me,"
explains Goffi.
Realizing he controls his potential as a soccer player, Goffi has a
very powerful personality on the
field; however, offthe field he is very
soft spoken and polite. "On the field,
I am a completely different person
than off the field. I guess it is the
thrill ofcompetition, along with personal challenges that I keep putting
on myself"
Thus, the pressure to score has
not been negative. "Being the leading soccer scorer for the team is an
interesting responsibility. I am expected to score and when I don't, I'm
not doing my job," Goffi contiIlUes
by adding, "That kind ofpressure is
loaded on my shoulders every
game... but that pressure is the most
exciting part of the game. It is what
keeps me coming back for more."
As all team players do, Goffi recognizes his teammates. "Everything
I've accomplished was made possible by my teammates, without
them, there would be no me."
As far as team goals, Goffi states,
"we set very high goals, mainly because we know we have a good team
and we can play with anyone at any
given time and have a good chance
to win." For immediate goals, the
squad hopes to win their conference,
followed by the regional tournament
and end up with Nova's first-ever
appearance at the National Tournament. For Goffi's personal goals, "I
know that this team was good before
I got here, and I'm sure it will continue to be good when I'm gone. I'm
just happy that we are now a great
team, and I am a big part of it," says
Goffi.
As a senior, this is Goffi's last
year playing soccer at the college
level. Is he done after this season?
No. "In the future, I hope to keep
playing soccer professionally either
in the U.S. or elsewhere. If not, I'll
have my CIS (Computer Information
Systems) degree to fall back on,"
explains Goffi.
Go watch Goffi and Nova's soccer team play at a high level ofcompetition. Hopefully, they will accomplish all oftheir goals and earn themselves a bid to the big dance, the
National Tournament.

MandiAdams (sophomore from
Coconut Creek, Florida) is the leading scorer for Nova Southeastern
University's Women's soccer team
this season. While Mandi· is very
proud ofher successes, she does not
forget about her teammates. "Leading scorer is a nice title to work towards and have, but I know, and the
team knows, it takes a team effort
to score not just an individual effort, " states Adams.
Adams has been playing soccer
for over ten years. Her dad encouraged her when she was ten to play.
"He started coaching a small team
of neighborhood girls. He contin-

coaching her on a team, he is still a
big part of her life. "He has always
played a huge role in continuing my
interest in soccer, by keeping me focused on what I need to accomplish,"
adds Adams.
Her inspiration starts at home.
"My family has always been extremely supportive. My mom and
dad have both fueled my competitive drive to play soccer," Adams
continues by saying, "Especially my

There's No Spell on
Practical Magic...
Only Great Casting
By Deana Daneau
Entertainment Editor
In one film, mix a spooky subject; two young and beautiful actresses, two accomplished, veteran
actresses; one attractive male actor;
and a mediocre storyline with a dash
of humor (not enough to taste). Edit
in a Warner Brothers' cauldron, release slightly before Halloween, and
what do you have? A very "Hollywood" tale of the lives and loves of
modem-day witches.
Practical Magic is the story of
two sisters, Sally and Gillian, born
with the gifts of the family business- witchcraft. However, due to
a family curse that brings death on
any man that might love them, Sally
and Gillian try abandoning their gifts
and head off in different directions
in hopes of finding lasting love and
normalcy. Soon enough, Sally and
Gillian realize the curse is all too true
when they cause the death of
Gillian's lover. Through this, they
reunite with each other and their craft
to bail themselves out of a murder
investigation.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole
.Kidman are wonderful as Sally and
Gillian respectively. Bullock fits very
well into the role of "the-girl-next-
door-although-she's-a-witch" Sally.
Actually, almost too well, for this
role is no deviation for Bullock and
is not demanding ofher talent. Nonetheless, Sally is played well and is
still enjoyable.
Kidman's portrayal of Gillian,
however, seems to be quite a deviation from the more reserved, proper
characters· the actress tends to take
on. Gillian's provocative free spirit
is not only entertaining but also allows Kidman to reveal great versatility.
Sprinkled in the mix are big
names like Stockard Channing and
Dianne Wiest playing the sisters'
spinster aunts (also witches) quite delightfully. Aidan Quinn also appears
as an out-of-town police investigator as well as love interest for Sally.
Other than that, does the film meet
all expectations? Not really.
The film is promoted as a comedy. Either Warner Brothers or director Griffin Dunne should have noticed that there aren't many humorous lines in the script and considering that the film received an R rating
anyway, Dunne sacrificed the chance
to inject some off-color humor. Stylistically, Dunne's direction was less
than spellbinding, lacking originality as well as decent special effects.
Despite these shortcomings, the film is not bad and WB
studio heads must be pleased.
On opening weekend, Practical
Magic opened at number one
with $13.6 million, according to
Exhibitor Relations. It seems
that Warner Brothers has the
perfect potion for another box
office bread winner. With
Sandra Bullock and Nicole
Kidman, no crystal ball is
needed to figure that out.
Apt Pupil
By Hunter Wakefield Wooleyhan
Contributing Writer
Have you ever wondered any

If you haven't, then you are not
Stephen King, and you don't have a
sick, twisted mind. King does, and
his story of a Nazi war criminal has
just been brought to the big screen
in the film entitled Apt Pupil.
This is the third installment of
King stories taken from his book
Different Seasons. The two before

Shawshank Redemption and the
equally classic Stand ByMe (yes that

films both center around one central
them.e, in Shawshank it's hope, in
Stand By Me it's the loss of innocence. Apt Pupil has to do with
power.
The film gets ofto a creepy start
as young Todd Bowden (Brad
Renfro) hears a Nazi war criminal
lives in his town. When he learns it
is true, Todd continues his investigation and goes to the Nazi's house.
After confronting the criminal, Kurt

more ofa psychological thriller than
a horror film. King fans can also
leave this film satisfied as it stays

Forum
By Alyson M. Dion
Campus Life Editor
A member of high rank in the
NSU Student Government Association approached me after the distribution ofthe October 21 issue ofThe
Knight Newspaper. In a rather sarcastic tone, the officer asked me if I
"congratulated" the author of the
''Undergraduate SGA Does it Again
..." article. My reply was, ''No,
why?" The response, again in a sarcastic tone, was, "Well, you should."
The person then sped down the steps
ofThe Flight Deck.
So, please
remember that the
one thing Student
Government may
not do is take away
one's rights to
freedom of speech
and press.
This article was not· fallacious
and, therefore, suitable to print. The
Office of Student Life did indeed
spend "approximately $7,000" on a
leadership retreat in Captiva Island.
.Despite the attempts to hide it, serious infighting has been prevalent
since the return from the Captivaretreat. Also, at the time the article was
written, dinner hours were only extended for IS minutes. Please note
that they have since been extended
for a full-hour,1Dltil 8:00 p.m., untilotherwise specified. Furthermore,

11earT.tlitoT,
I am writing to you regarding an
extremely important matter. I am a
mem~ ofHEAL, a somewhat controversial but scientifically grOlmded
organization on campus. Although I
have received some negative responses .from students and faculty,
numerous students and faculty have
responded positively and have been
very supportive, for which I am
thankful. However, in a college atmosphere, I believe that upon being
presented with substantial evidence,
professors of a university have a responsibility to investigate every aspect ofan issue, especially when this
issue is either taught in class or at
least discussed. I become annoyed
when I see faculty and supposedly
"educated" professors dismiss anything that could further their knowledge. This, however, is not the reason for this letter. A small number
of faculty have actually threatened
members ofHEAL and even wish to
get 'our lectures cancelled; lectures
which bring noble prize winning scientists to Nova, something that most
other organizations have never done.
Also, Student Life, who so adamantly
advertises most ~minguniversity
events, has not assisted or even been
cooperative in any promotion of
HEAL events such as Dr. Stephan

Hey Editor-Who's
Spoiling What?
By Allyn-George Thomas
NSUSGA, Fraternity Senator
The 1998/1999 school year has
been the most challenging school
year yet in the history of the
NSUSGA. The past SGA's left us
with a reputation that has yet to be
overcome. Why has our past reputation held us back? The answer is
simple; no one recognizes the
changes. The Editor in Chiefof The
Knight Newspaper, Angel Sanchez,
feels that we are not doing our job
by not providing students with the
full "COLLEGE EXPERIENCE."
I would like to disagree with Mr.
Sanchez by allowing the student
body to know what is happening
and what is to come.
GOT WOOD? Well, I did once.
I saw the amazing student participation at the "GotWood" event that
took place prior to the first day of
school. The Leadership Development Committee, a· subsidiary of
the NSUSGA, sponsored a "Leadership Symposium," this past
weekend. This event was a great
success and made a deep impact on

Sleepless in Goodwin
By Angel E. Sanchez
Editor in Chief
On October 28, students who reside at the Goodwin Residence Halls
were disturbed by a fire alarm that
went off at II :3Opm. Students were
forced to evacuate the building and
await the arrival of the Davie Fire
Department. Of course this was a
normal procedme roprotect the students from any harmed. After inspecting the area, the Fire Department CQncluded that it was a fault
in the a1ann system and that it would
keep setting the alarm offfor the re-
mainder of the night. Well, the students were allowed to go inside the
Building at around 12:30 am and
were told to expect to hear the aI~
to going offthe whole night.
The alarm did continuedto go off
for an hour or two thereafter. This
wretchfd alarm disturbed the peace
and tranquillity ofthe residence hall.
We were glad to know that theproblem was finally taken care off and
we did not have to loose more sleep
over the matter.

Knight Newspaper isa student
run publication and is the perfect
forum for students to voice their
concerns and observations. So,
please remember that the one
thing Student Government may
not do is take away one's rights
to freedom of speech and press.
On a· side note, the greatest
rebuttal to a negative article, is
one that does notattack the origimil author on a personal level.
Rather an article that highlights
the positive achievements ofthe
organization proves more forceful. Students rea,lize that problems exist within theorganization and that those problems will
not go away if simply jgnored.
That is why students address
them in' this forum.

Some Thoughts On
Teenage Pregnancy
Carl Rowan's Commentary
The teenager was boasting about the way she· had
put down a man seeking a
one-night stand: "He asked
if r didn't feel the need to
prove I'm a woman. I said,
'Hell, I can stand naked in
front of my mirror and see
tbat''''
.
I took that ll$ anecdotal
though slim evidence that
American teenagers are
reversing somewhat the
sexual revolution that has
drawn record numbers of .
them into unwed and often
tragic pregnancies.
I wanted to believe .that
this girl symbolized a new
co~on-sense knowledge
that the sucker - the ultimate victim -:- in these
early sexual encounters
(~king up and adventures into parenthood) is
always the female, and then
the child produced.
Young men have always
been able to walk away
from all such events without
scars, - or certainly with
fewer pains than the young
woman,
.' Now coines. L'le AlaR
Guttmacher InStitute with a
report that tile pregnagcy
rate of American girls .aged
15 to 19 has dropped 14
percent during the ..199O!ito
a 23-year low. The rate
- down from 117 pregnan~'
des per 1,000 such girls to
101 per 1,000 in 1995 - is
still outrageously high, but
the trend is heartening.
Now., "wising up" may
not be the primary reasOn
for . this drop in teenage
pregnancie$.." Guttmacher
'says there has indeed been a
decline .' in sexual activity
among teens, but. it says the
pregnancy· rate· is down
because of an' increase in
the us~(>f c(Jntra~tion
"Ii along with "greater empha.. sis On abstinence:more con":
.' servativ~ attitudes about
sex, fear of AIDS,.~ and
even. f:h~ economy:' ..
.
In recent years many
young black women swallowed the line that producing a baby out of wedlock
would prove their womanhood, would make them
more attractive to men,
would give them a constant
source of love, or something equally absurd. The
Guttmaeher report says that
young black women are'the
group experiencing the
greatest decline in pregnancies, partly because of attitudinal ~hanges, and partly
because more of them are
using contraception, especilllly Depo Provera and
Norplant.
Many young blacks have
found that in this economy a
pregnancy in their teens
would doom them to an
aIinost certain life of poverty . and hopetessness. They
may senSe that sex isn't
golng.1o vanish .from their
lives~ but they are resolving
that they won't entertain it
where the consequences are
likely to be So devastating.
So perhaps I was overhearing the voice of social
change in that young
woman who boasted of her
witty rejection of a sexual
proposition. It just may· be
that alo~g witb .a fear .ofl
AIDS and socially transinitted diseases we are seeing a
revival of the stigma that
once attached not just to
promiscuity but to any pregnancy outside marriage.
May. that young woman's
tribe increase.

AIDS Facts Everyone Ahould Know

Even more disturbing than the
lack ofconsistency is the feeling that
these reports read like advertisements to raise money from each demographic. Certainly the confusion
surrounding HIV and AIDS keeps
the flow of money funneled into research. Over 54 billion dollars already.
A report in the May 1st, 1996,
issue of the Wall Street Journal, reported on the CDC's campaign to exaggerate the risk for AIDS in order
to do I just that. In this article, a CDC
official explains that he thought the
best way to present AIDS was as
"everyone's problem." .
He said, "As long as this was
seen as a gay disease or, even worse,
a disease ofdrug abusers, that pushed
the disease way down the ladder of
people's priorities."
