Landing
project
begins
BY MATT MAJARIAN
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
By the end of 2005, work
will have started across the
Genesee River, building an
$18 million shopping area
and hotel. The project is
slated to be completed as
early as December 2006.
“Brooks Landing is an
important first step in the
economic development of a
residential and retail area
of great significance to UR,”
President Joel Seligman
said. “I know I speak for
many at the university in
stating how delighted we
are at the approval of this
important project.”
The Brooks Landing project was first proposed over
20 years ago as a plan to
revitalize the area between
Brooks Street and Genesee
Street, directly across the
Genesee River from UR.
The first phase of the
project was completed in
1991, with the opening of
the pedestrian footbridge
spanning the river to connect Wilson Boulevard with
Plymouth Avenue.
When completed, Brooks
Landing will be home to a
public promenade and boat
docking facility on the Genesee, as well as a commercial
center with student-centric
shops, UR office space and a
new 80 room extended-stay
hotel.
“We expect Brooks Landing to provide an attractive,
vibrant shopping and dining
area for both neighborhood
residents and university students,” community activist
and Rochester City Council
candidate Dana Miller said.
Miller is also the chairman
of the board for the Sector
4 Community Development
Corporation, Sector 4 CDC,
which was charged with
community oversight for
the Brooks Landing project.
Sector 4 CDC was founded in
1997 after two other developers for the Brooks Landing
project failed to bring it to
fruition.
Miller and Sector 4 CDC
expect the Brooks Landing
area to revitalize both the
UR community and the
surrounding 19th Ward
community.
“We are looking forward
to closer ties between the
university and the neighborhood and expect that this
project will be a destination
where students and neighbors will meet,” Miller said.
“There are over 800 students
and 800 faculty and staff
members who live in the
19th Ward.”
The Brooks Landing
project enjoys support
throughout the Rochester community, especially from political leaders.

MERT practices rescues
BY SARAH PERMUTT
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
Members of the River
Campus Medical Emergency Response Team and
UR Security simulated a
mass casuality incident on
Saturday at the Sigma Chi
fraternity house.
The drill allowed emergency responders to hone
their response and treatment skills.
“The first drill occurred
last year at the same time
and security was so pleased
they wanted to make it an
annual event and get us
involved in a larger scale
drill,” MERT Director of Operations and senior Joshua
Brown said.
For this particular scenario, MERT staged a mock
explosion in the middle of
the ΣΧ house and scattered
actors as victims throughout
the first floor and basement
of the house. While ΣΧ
brothers unaffiliated with
MERT did not participate
in the event, they sponsored
the drill and willingly allowed MERT to take over
their house for the afternoon.
The drill was run by four
leaders, the operations
officer, safety officer, the
incident commander and the
triage and treatment officer.
MERT members trained as
Emergency Medical Technician were the rescuers during the drill, while twenty
other MERT members acted
as patients.
The organizer of the event,
MERT Assistant Director of
Training and sophomore
Daniel Nassau, planned the
large scale simulation and
worked with UR officials to
gather resources and clearance for the event.
“We had to meet with the
fire marshal because we put
black sheets over all the
windows and [purposely] set
off the fire alarm,” Brown
said.
While the likelihood of a
mass casualty incident at
UR may be low, the drill was
an opportunity for MERT to
practice their rescue skills
in a stressful environment.
MERT is first on scene to
medical emergencies on campus and frequently responds
to challenging incidents.
“No matter how much
training you have, you’re never going to be fully prepared.”

Ramadan
In celebration of the Muslim holiday Ramadan,
ADITI and the Muslim Students’ Association
hosted the annual Ramadan dinner on Saturday
in Douglass Dining Center.
“There were a decent amount of people there,”
ADITI Cultural Chair and junior Sarel Gaur said.
“ADITI was proud to unite with MSA to bring
so many people together. We look forward to
teaming up with them in the future — possibly
at our spring show MELA.”
Catered by Pakistan House, students enjoyed
traditional rice, chicken and curry dishes.
The guest speaker was Dr. Mustafa Elfar,
who told stories about growing up in a nontraditional Islamic household and living as a
Muslim in America.
“Overall, the sold-out dinner was successful,
and people enjoyed the food and activities,” MSA
President Abdulla Almarzouqi said.
Also at the dinner, ADITI showed a slideshow
that educated people of the causalities from the
South Asian Earthquake.
In addition to the feast on Saturday night,
MSA held a Ramadan Fast-a-Thon during the
day. Students who were willing to fast the whole
day signed a pledge form.
For each pledge, $1 was donated to Hurricane
Katrina and earthquake relief

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim
calendar and is celebrated by observing the Fast
of Ramadan — for the entire month, Muslims
fast during the daylight hours and at sunset
and just before sunrise, eat a small meal and
celebrate with friends and family.
Peace vigil held
against war in Iraq
A peace vigil was held in memory of those
who have died in Iraq over the past four years
outside of Wilson Commons on Thursday. The
idea for the vigil was sparked by the death of
the 2,000th soldier.
CHRIS TICE • CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
ENJOYING AN UNDEFEATED SEASON
Senior Gary Stom keeps the ball in bounds during the teams win on
Sunday. This home game was the seniors last of the regular season.
Faculty, staff and students were given the opportunity to speak their minds and voice their
concerns about the current situation in Iraq.
Organized by Students for Social Justice,
the vigil gave people an opportunity to discuss
ways to end the conflict as well bringing home
the troops.
Many of those who attended spoke their
minds on how this war has been a direct attack
on our patriotism as Americans.
“We need a major change now,” SSJ Business
Manager and senior Adam Bink said. “With
Vietnam, we saw everything. We saw dead
bodies and we were given information that
made us aware of what exactly was going on
over there. With this war, 2000 soldiers have
died and that isn’t even including the hundreds
and hundreds of Iraqis who have lost their
lives. Something like this needs to be brought
directly to public attention.”
SSJ President and junior Katie Sharp was un-
able to attend the vigil, but shared her thoughts
regarding the vigil and the war in general.
“It isn’t the easiest thing to do, but we are
really trying to make students on this campus
aware of the situation in Iraq,” Sharp said.
“We want students to feel comfortable coming
out and discussing their thoughts and feelings, whatever they may be, on the war and
its consequences. So many American lives have
been lost.”
An estimated 45 people came to this vigil.
Another one is planned for today with the hopes
of making it a weekly event.
“We are trying to bring issues regarding the
war to public discourse,” SSJ Programming
Chair and senior David Ladon said. “It is a
chance
ce for us to g
grieve the loss of life. This vigil
is one of many avenues we are taking to bring
these injustices to light.”

Junior Jon Goldsmith will
attempt to unseat incumbent
republican Jack Driscoll as the
representative for 13th district of
the Monroe County Legislature
on Nov. 8.
“At a time when young people are
turning their backs on the political
process and leaving our area, I’m
the right candidate at the right
time,” Goldsmith said. “Monroe
County is my home now.”
Monroe County’s 13th district
lies south of the River Campus,
encompassing the majority of the
town of Henrietta. There are 29
individual districts in Monroe
County, and one representative is
elected from each district into the
legislature. Legislators convene
to decide the laws and policies
that affect every resident of the
county, and each legislative district
contains approximately 25,000
people.
Goldsmith has been officially
endorsed by the Monroe County
Democratic Party, which fields
candidates for each contested
legislature seat. The legislature is
currently 59 percent Republican.
Facing Goldsmith in the election
will be Jack Driscoll, a republican
who has held office since 2001.
Although some believe that Driscoll
may have the experience to overcome Goldsmith, the democratic
candidate is ready for a spirited
campaign.
“People who say we’re a longshot campaign haven’t seen us
work yet,” Goldsmith said. “This
will be a candidacy we all can be
proud of.”
Goldsmith came to UR after
finishing high school at Choate
Rosemary Hall in Connecticut
where he worked in student government.
After having gaining political experience in high school, Goldsmith
came to college intending to make
his way into local politics. Majoring
in political science, he immediately
sought an internship at the local
Democratic Caucus upon arrival
at UR.
“Public service and political
activism are my passions,” Goldsmith said. “I’m not afraid to be
independent or to stand up for
what I know to be right.”
The upcoming election will require Goldsmith to muster all of

Events celebrate
Cervantes’ novel
BY JACKIE BORCHARDT
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
Don Quixote turns 400 years old
this year, and the anniversary of the
first part of the novel by Miguel de
Cervantes is being celebrated on
campus this week with a round
table discussion, film screening and
exhibit in the Department of Rare
Books and Special Collections.
“The [worldwide] celebration
reflects widespread interest in
and appreciation for the book,”
Associate Professor of Spanish
Ryan Prendergast said. “It’s not
just about the book anymore — it’s
about an icon, an image that comes
off the pages.”
Spain and the rest of the
world have been honoring the
famous knight-errant’s adventures through conferences and
festivals.
“For Spain, it’s a very significant
event because Cervantes has come
to be known as their prized author
— Cervantes is the Shakespeare of
Spain,” Prendergast said.
The idea of an on-campus celebration began last spring with
the acquisition of rare versions
of the book through funding from
the Friends of the University of
Rochester Libraries.
“I bought six different editions
of ‘Don Quixote’ in the last year,”
Rare Books and Special Collections Curator Pablo Alvarez said.
“Nowadays it is easy to locate the
books by using Internet. The difficulty is in the research involved
to target the right edition in the
right condition.”
Titled “Illustrating Cervantes,”
the exhibit will be on display
through tomorrow. Featured in the
exhibit is Rush Rhees October Book
of the Month, a 1738 first edition
in Spanish published in England,
illustrated with 69 copperplate
engravings, including the first
portrait of Cervantes.
Prendergast, Alvarez and Modern Languages and Cultures librarian Barbara Alvaraz planned
the events around Prendergast’s
English-taught literature course
“Don Quixote: The Book, The
Myth, The Image.”
“It’s important to continue to
expose students to early modern
literature and appreciation for the
book as an artifact, viewed for the
CAMPUS TIMES
text itself,” he said.
Tuesday’s events showcased
illustrations inspired by the book.
During his talk “Illustrating Cervantes: The Eighteenth Century
Interpretation of Don Quixote,”
Alvarez showed slides of popular
early illustrations and discussed
their importance in the past, as
well as today.
“I endorse the view of scholars
who place the book as a physical
artifact as how the community
of readers interpret a work at a
particular time,” he said.
Alvarez reminded the audience
that Cervantes did not illustrate
his text.
“The first illustrations came
after the author’s death,” Alvarez
said. “A writer had no say with the
printer.”
University of Calgary Associate
Professor Rachel Schmidt discussed the ways French images of
Spain influenced Spanish national
identity, Tuesday evening.
Prendergast is thrilled with the
week thus far.
“It’s not often that you see an
event with such a range of people
on campus — students, Friends of
the Library, faculty and staff,” he
said. “I’m pleased the Friends saw
how their money was being used
— that the materials were being
used by students.”
Today’s round table discussion
hosts professor of Spanish emeritus Robert ter Horst, professor of
English John Michael, professor
of history Richard Kaeuper and
graduate student of English Andrew Wadoski.
Prendergast will moderate. “The
idea is to expose students to views
from outside Hispanic studies,”
he said.
The week culminates in a showing of Grigori Kozintsev’s “Don
Quixote” at 7 p.m. in the Rare
Books Library. The 1957 Russian
film is said to be the best adaptation
of the novel, according to Prendergast, who has already started
thinking about the anniversary
of the release of the second part
in 1615.
“It’s a long way off, but it will
be interesting to see what we can
do,” he said.

Rochester residents visited UR dressed up to celebrate Halloween on Friday. Many of the children are
from local shelters or neighborhoods where it is too dangerous to go out trick-or-treating at night.
Local kids get to trick-or-treat
BY EMILY PARET
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
More than 100 children from the
city of Rochester visited UR for a
Halloween celebration hosted by
the Tiernan Project and Sigma
Beta Rho fraternity.
“The children came from different community centers and shelters, especially battered women’s
shelters,” Take Five Scholar and
member of ΣΒΡ Mubarek Said said.
“They can’t be walking around
their neighborhoods at night, so
this gave them a chance to experience trick-or-treating.”
The children dressed in costumes
and first visited the Scare Fair in
the Rush Rhees Library. Student
volunteers gave tours of the library.
While this was going on, free food
and games were also available in
Douglass Dining Center.
“They were adorable,” Tiernan
Project President and senior
Lauren Kessler said. “There was
a magician walking around, face
painting and pumpkin decorat-
ing. Everyone seemed to really
enjoy it.”
The day ended by trick-or-treating through the Susan B. Anthony
Residence Halls. Over 200 students
living in Sue B. volunteered their
rooms to be part of the trick-ortreat route.
“We have done events like this
in the past, but this year it was
much bigger,” Kessler said. “It
gave students a chance to get out
of the shelter, see something that
is fun and do something that isn’t
necessarily related to something
that is going on in their life.”
Said recalls that each child was
accompanied by their mothers — no
fathers were present.
“The moms got a chance to sit
back and watch their kids have
fun,” Kessler said. “They could
talk to the other women and the
UR students. I think they really
appreciated that. We have some
shelters that have been taking part
in this for a few years now, so you
get to know some of the people.”
When the children left on the
bus at 9 p.m. with their candy and
goodie bags, they were all very
excited.
“I knew everything went well
when a kid came up to me at the
end and said ‘This was the best
trick-or-treating,’” Said said. “This
event really created a family and
support.”
Both groups, along with the
Community Service Network and
the Rochester Center for Community Leadership, which also
helped to sponsor the event, hope
to expand this event even more in
the future.
“We want to try to make sure
we can reach out to the 19th
ward because they’re so close,”
Kessler said. An partnership was
attempted, but fell through.
“There are so many things
happening, and it is our mission
to bring the university and community together,” Said said.

UR marked the first annual
Sustainability Day last Wednesday
by participating in a live webcast
presentation shown at over 100
universities and organizations
across the country.
“Sustainability Day was a good
way to find out what other campuses are doing in terms of making
their facilities more sustainable,”
Grassroots member and sophomore
Gerald Abt said. “To have so many
different people be able to see the
same discussion from all over the
country was truly remarkable.”
The presentation, entitled “A
(Recycled, Of Course) Six-Pack of
Sustainability Lessons from the
Past Year in Higher Education,”
was given by a panel of experts
from the Society for College and
University Planning.
“Our main goal as students is
to encourage explicit, organized
attention to our holistic sustainability as a university,” President
of Grassroots and senior Nils
Klinkenberg said.
The webcast was led by six experts in the field of sustainability.
The webcast encouraged institutions to make economically sound
decisions to fulfill the present
generation’s demands, while keeping in mind the social and environmental effects that they will have
on future generations.
“All higher education has an
obligation to educate its students
about the socioeconomic impact
they will have on their respective
communities once they leave our
campuses,” Senior Operations Officer Ovide Corriveau said.
The event was part of a nationwide movement amongst colleges
and universities to educate future
professionals in various fields
around the principles of environmental protection and social
awareness.
“Changes are already happening
in the form of the Cogeneration
Project, the new Biomedical Engineering Optics Building and the
changes being introduced in Dining
Services,” Corriveau said.
The presentation was followed
by a discussion moderated by
Grassroots members.
“The wide range of areas represented is indicative of the broad
applicability of sustainability considerations to a university setting,”
Klinkenberg said.

MERT: Training drill tests rescuer abilities
COURTESTY OF ROCHESTER CITY NEWS
This area, across the bridge from the River Campus, will be part of
an $18 million renovation project set to finish in December of 2006.

“I enthusiastically support riverfront development, especially as a
UR graduate,” Republican mayoral
candidate John Parrinello ’67said.
Democratic candidate Bob Duffy
also supports the project and the
development of the riverfront area
around UR.
U.S. Representative Louise
Slaughter was instrumental in
securing approval for the project
through the National Park Service.
“The project will make the area
a community anchor, improving
not only the 19th Ward, but also
the University of Rochester and
areas up and down the Genesee
River,” Slaughter said.
The National Park Service’s
approval was the last hurdle for
project supporters to overcome
before breaking ground. Approval
was withheld for years because
Brooks Landing will encroach on
1.38 acres of land currently part of
Genesee Valley Park.
Environmental concerns were
allayed, however, when designers
included dedicated parkland within
the project in addition to increased
access to the current public trail
system.
One of the main attractions to
students at the Brooks Landing
center will be a community owned
and operated coffee shop.
According to the shop’s Web
site, it will be an independent shop
called “Urban Brew” and is currently under construction.
UR has been involved in the
project since its conception.
“The university participated in
a study that was done in 1983 to
see what kind of enhancements
should be made to the South
River Corridor,” Miller said. “UR
graduate students Emily Clary
and Kai Nishikawa produced the
first marketing plan for Brooks
Landing back in 1997 and provided
the demographic and market data
that allowed us to attract the hotel
developer.”
According to Miller, UR students
also helped in planning the Brooks
Landing project by surveying
students about what stores would
thrive across from campus.
Students can track the progress
of the project by looking across the
river in the upcoming months. After the groundbreaking ceremony,
construction will begin quickly and
continue through 2006.
“We expect that much of the
construction will take place in
2006, and by the end of the year
most things should be completed,”
Miller said.
As the Brooks Landing project is
realized, project leaders are able to
see the fruits of their labor.
“We’re thrilled that this is going
ahead,” Associate Vice President
for Public Relations and Sector 4
CSC board member Robert Kraus
said. “It is a win for the community and a win for the university
as well.”

EDITORIAL BOARD
JACKIE BORCHARDT • ANDREW HOLLINGER • TONY SCOTT
ANDREW BRUML • JOHN SERAFINI
The editor-in-chief and the editorial board make themselves available to the UR
communityʼs ideas and concerns. Appointments can be arranged by calling x5-5942
or by e-mail at [email protected].
Elections emphasized
Every year, the first week of November is marked by Election Day. Though there are no presidential or congressional
elections being held this year, voting is still deserving of a high
level of attention. The UR community should make a concerted effort to vote in local elections.
Local politics are often overlooked, despite having more of a
direct impact on quality of life than national politics. Our decentralized political system puts great emphasis on local government to manage counties and municipalities. Strong local
leadership builds quality infrastructure, plows roads, improves
housing stock, reduces crime and develops vacant lots and
buildings. All eligible voters should fulfill their commitment to
society by exercising their right to vote.
For those who are registered to vote outside Monroe County,
this election should remind them of their responsibilities back
home. Applying for absentee ballots — if not for this election,
elections in the future — should become a regular part of preparing for the upcoming school year.
UR students registered to vote in Monroe County should be
aware of the local elections being held this year, especially city
elections. Since the Rochester community is in need of strong
leadership, great emphasis is placed on the mayoral race. As
a city that holds promise and opportunity, Rochester is also
struggling with high crime, strong unemployment and poverty. Those eligible to vote have the opportunity to weigh in
on these issues — especially drug enforcement, loitering laws
and tax reform — by casting their vote in Tuesday’s elections.
Though students may not receive direct benefit, any improvement to Rochester will improve UR’s image and morale. Those
elected into office next week, namely the new mayor, will have
a great influence on keeping or changing economic and crime
policies.
With the money invested in the Rochester economy by the
UR community — not to mention UR’s position as the city’s
largest employer — UR is an influential factor in local politics
and is often a key aspect of development and revitalization
projects. The role that the UR plays in the Rochester reinforces the importance for its faculty, staff and students to participate in the upcoming elections.
Maturity needed
Last week, an altercation on the bus ride home between
disorderly students marred Senior Night. Though there was
no damage to property, this confrontation between a group of
students attracted the attention of UR Security, administrators and students.
This embarrassing behavior is not the fault of the senior
class. In the past, senior class councils and entire senior
classes have been criticized for failing to uphold appropriate
standards at the Senior Night events. Disruptive behavior has
resulted in punishments against the class as a whole — the
revocation of Senior Night privileges.
In this case, blame belongs only to the culprits and no one
else. Nonetheless, until those responsible confess their actions,
administrators must resort to discontinuing Senior Nights. While group

this story.
about these incidents should come
forward to resolve the situation. With
no one accepting responsibility for the
incidents, UR administration, bus companies, area businesses
and other organizations who are involved with Senior Nights
have no choice but to implicate the whole senior class with
these child-like characters, ultimately stopping further Senior
Nights.
Unless the students can conduct themselves in an orderly
fashion, some form of security needs to be present on the busses they ride. This measure is extreme, but not unreasonable if
individuals can’t maintain an appropriate atmosphere. A true
solution to this problem will come with a sense of responsibility synonymous with the UR community.

GLC needs revamping
OK, I admit it. I actually like
living in the Graduate Living
Center or Southside Apartments,
as it is now referred to. By now,
you have probably completely
lost respect for me, but chances
are I never really had much respect for you anyway.
In my second year at GLC now,
the mere thought of not needing
my bathing accessories when I
would go for a shower excites
me. I proudly open my mammoth
refrigerator or cook hardboiled
eggs on my stove. Furthermore,
and probably most importantly,
I don’t need to curb my enthusiasm on the weekends. This is
how life should be.
But, alas, there is something
missing from my utopia. As I
look around on my way to and
from GLC, all I see is an abundance of nothing. Surrounding
the towers are a soccer field, a
pseudo-track and field, pseudorugby field and a little-league
baseball diamond — nothing that
could be of use to me as a resident of GLC.
To me, it makes little sense

tial area — graduate housing is

few, if any, facilities that cater to
these residents.
Not much seems to have
changed since GLC was erected
in 1965. Over the years, it seems
as though the university forgot
about that far away land we call
GLC.
The “OTIS certified” elevators
move slower than the lines at the
Pit while the puke-stained couches in the basement “lounge”
were probably “purchased” from
the other side of the footbridge.
All in all, GLC is well overdue for
renovation and refurbishing.
While I do enjoy the occasional
game of soccer, I believe that
maybe a dining hall would be
more appropriate.
We do need sustenance, and
sometimes, we don’t want to
have to walk all the way to Douglass Dining Center to get it.
A dining hall, or even a café
much like Hillside, would easily
add more value to the lives of the
students — who, may I remind
President Seligman, are the
source of future alumni donations. Besides, this is probably
one of the few suggestions that
Aramark will go out of its way to
support.
A café would also solve the
problem of the lack of a common
area for students to hang out. I
regularly miss acting like a complete idiot in my old Hoeing Hall
lounge.
While there has been some
change — the new shower heads
are amazing and I believe we
will have new pool tables soon
— there is still much work left.
So, President Seligman, if you
actually read the Campus Times
and are wasting even more time
by reading my article, I implore
you to change more than just
GLC’s name. Minority and international students need a life, too.

Propaganda purveyed
Media is the nervous system
of our democracy — if it’s not
functioning well, neither will the
democracy.
A wave of disinformation and
unreliability that has swept
across our national media is the
result of a few distinct factors,
all interrelated. The first and
foremost can be attributed to
the nature of corporations and is
significant now that we are down
to only a handful of very powerful media corporations.
It all comes down to the bottom line, the one at the end of
an accountant’s worksheet. The
news business is not called a
business for nothing. Corners are
being cut and expenses are being
reduced wherever possible. This
means that actual reporting and
investments in the newsroom is
declining. Journalists are no longer reprimanded if they decide to
throw in their own commentary.
Reporters have now become the
proponents of a particular point
of view. There has been a reduction of real journalism. This is,
of course, cheaper then actually
getting on scene and sticking
with real news stories.

porate media moguls can also be
seen in another realm, distinct
and dangerous enough to warrant its own self actualization
— politics.
While journalism once strode
to report on politics, it is now
intricately involved. Corporate
lobbyists are major political players, and media has more then its
fair share of lobbyists, each attempting to carve out ever larger
slices of cake.
The partisan nature of media
should not come as a surprise
to anyone, especially in light of
the development of mega media
conglomerates, with teams of lobbyists. However, it may be surprising to hear of the extent to
which politics have crept into the
minds of people the world over,
bringing us to the third aspect
— propaganda.
Today, news propaganda is
remarkably effective because
people don’t think they are being subjected to propaganda,
they don’t look for it, and so, are
much easier to convince. The war
in Iraq presents the perfect opportunity to examine the effects
of propaganda — for instance,
the supposed link between Iraq
and al-Qaeda, as well as between
Saddam Hussein and weapons of
mass destruction. In effect, the
more people who consume a specific media, know less about the
subject, and are more willing to
support government policy. The
government is more than aware
of this process and how it works
— propaganda.
All of these factors have
combined to result in some of
the worst disinformation ever.
Today’s news has passed along
through so many hands that we
no longer know who the source
is.
This also allows amplifications
of rumors, distortion, spin, characterization and propaganda, all
of which fundamentally undermining democracy. This is not
about the left vs. the right, it is a
populist issue.

Women show enthusiasm for sports
BY ARI FRESHMAN
Sports are very exciting to watch and
to be a part of. When there is a big game
on television, it is not uncommon to find
a group of people glued to the couch with
their eyes intently fixated on the screen.
All of a sudden, something big happens
and everyone jumps in excitement. The
next few moments are filled with an
adrenaline rush of screaming, clapping
and hugging. But this moment of pure
happiness is not being enjoyed just by
guys. There has been an increasing number of women who avidly support either a
single team or an entire sport.
The Major League Baseball World Series recently ended. For the entire month
of October, I passed by women wearing
baseball caps or sweatshirts, overheard
women discussing how their team would
have won if the pitcher had not blown up
in the seventh inning and saw women at
local bars, enthusiastically eating chicken
wings and screaming at the TV.
Another big time of year is when the Super Bowl occurs. Since this is the consolidation of a series into one championship
game, everyone puts all their efforts into
making the most of Super Bowl Sunday. I
have been to various Super Bowl parties
over the years and fanatic-football supporting women have been present at every
one of them. Perhaps the most interesting
thing was witnessing how these games
would make or break a woman’s day. Just
picture a female friend of yours walking
on cloud nine the day after her team had
won — or dragging her feet all day if her
team met defeat.
Just like men, women are investing
their emotions in the teams they support.
They cannot control how their teams
perform, but the results still affect their
moods. This is a good example of how
important sports have become to women.
The point I am trying to make is that
sports are no longer considered a “guy
thing.” There has been an obvious increase in enthusiasm for sports in the
female population. This enthusiasm has
been followed by an increased commitment from female athletes to reach the
success levels of their male counterparts.
The commitment level has soared so much
that within the last 10 years, women’s
professional basketball and softball
leagues have been established, in addition
to other professional women’s leagues for
various sports.
Women are finally getting the opportunity to continue to play the sports
they love instead of being forced to cease
playing because they’re too old. Not only
are they playing, but they are also loving
every minute of it. If you watch any interview with a professional female athlete,
there is a good chance that the first thing
she will say is that she is grateful for the
opportunity to play and really appreciates
the continued support from professional
women’s sports advocates. With this increase of women in sports, it would not
be far-fetched to predict that women’s
professional sports could eventually reach
the degree of popularity currently held by
men’s.
In the near future, perhaps we will hear
about the next big basketball contract
belonging to Lisa Leslie rather than Shaquille O’Neal. The ultimate message is
simple — women love sports just as much
as men and are not afraid to show it.

CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
I’ve been educated by two prestigious
institutions in my life — the second sits
here on the banks of the Genesee, but the
first institution consists of one man, Edgar Anderson.
Anderson and his wife Marion poured
their lives and love into the Kopper Kettle
Restaurant on Rochester’s Chili Avenue
for more than 40 years. Somewhere in
those 40 years I came along as their
grandson. Sitting at the counter in their
coffee shop or dressed up for dinner in
the dining room, I learned how to treat
people with respect and compassion by
watching the way my grandfather spoke
to customers and, more importantly, to his
employees. Whether you were sitting at
table one or washing dishes, you were part
of his family.
While I’m glad the university has
reached a tentative agreement with SEIU
1199, the way UR is treating its staff still
doesn’t live up to my grandfather’s standards. The fundamental issues remain
unchanged. The people who clean our
dorms and serve “All You Care To Eat” are
often forced to make hard choices about
how much food they can put on their own
tables. We’ve felt compelled as a university to reach out to the Ninth Ward of
New Orleans, but the Nineteenth Ward of
Rochester has to fight for fair wages and
affordable health care. Meliora Weekend
featured a panel that repeatedly pointed
to systemic poverty as the real disaster in
the Gulf — Katrina only showed it to us
in Technicolor. These scholars each emphasized that we, the citizens who don’t
have to work Saturdays and can come to
lectures, are the ones who have to put an
end to the truly third world conditions in
the heart of American cities.
Our own distinguished faculty has highlighted the problem. Their scholarship
must be followed by our action.
We don’t have to look south to take on
this challenge. We must challenge our
budgets, but more importantly, our tragic
misconceptions of race and class in our
nation. We must look west, just across the
Genesee. Many people walk across the
footbridge every morning before dawn,
and 500 yards from the grave of Frederick Douglass they walk in the back doors
and keep their heads down. They are
not treated as part of our family and not
deemed worthy to benefit from our commitment to “Always Better.”
My grandfather ran his business and
lives his life on the principle that actions speak louder than words. President
Seligman and other respected members
of the administration — thank you for
taking this first step. Many more await.
We as students are learning from your
actions. In your decisions about how this
university participates in the Rochester
community, consider yourselves at the lecture podium. Are we to learn that growth
in the endowment can continue to come at
the expense of those who can least afford
it, or is it time to change the lesson plan?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Alcohol policies defended
As a University Health Service health
educator specializing in drug and alcohol
issues, I share many of the concerns expressed by Jeffrey Klein in his editorial of
Oct. 20. It is critical that students speak
out when they are disturbed by the alcohol abuse they observe among their peers.
A small percentage of our student body
continually attracts our attention due to
destructive and illegal activities that often
accompany alcohol intoxication. Given the
illegality of any alcohol use for most of our
students, UR has an obligation — actually a legal duty — to uphold the law and
intervene. But “criminalizing the use of
alcohol,” as Klein describes it, is an inaccurate characterization of our intervention process.
In response to student concerns, as
well as my own, I began meeting several
years ago with an interdisciplinary team
of professionals from UHS, University
Counseling Center, UR Security and
the Dean of Students Office. We shared
Klein’s view that students’ health and
safety were paramount when dealing with
substance abuse, and that we believed a
drug or alcohol incident provides a unique
opportunity for the students involved to
learn more about themselves as well as
the substances they use. In response to
our recommendations, the Second Chance
Program was initiated by the Dean of
Students Office in the Spring of 2004.
Under this program, students with a firsttime drug or alcohol violation are excused
from judicial sanctioning, provided that
they complete an intervention protocol,
which may include screening, education,
counseling or a combination of all three.
No judicial record or file is generated and
no probation period is sanctioned, as long
as the student follows through with whatever referral is deemed necessary for that
particular individual. My personal experience in working with over 150 students
in this program has been that many come
away from the process with new insights
about themselves and the substances they
use, as well as strategies for making safer
choices in the future. In addition to being positively received by students, the
Second Chance Program has shown some
promising results, as data from the first
year showed a marked decrease in repeat
offenders coming through the judicial
system.
There is no doubt that we have a long
way to go toward finding a solution to this
complex public health issue. Students will
always be our partners in this process.
Most importantly, our approaches will
have to change as new evidence-based
prevention strategies are identified.

Sanskyʼs article
misrepresents facts
In reading Eric Sansky’s article on
the faults of liberal ideology, I was taken
aback by the writer’s unfocused argument and illogical ranting. To begin with,
Sansky sets the tone of ineptitude with
his opening sentence which conveys, “why
liberal thought is stupid.” Perhaps it is
less stupid to open a so-called informed
opinions article with simple-minded name
calling, but I would disagree.
As he moves forward with his argument, Sansky criticizes Al Franken for
calling for the execution of Dick Cheney
and his Chief of Staff. True, Franken’s
comments lacked intellectual grounding.
However, Sansky suggests that Franken
represents all liberals. By the same logic,
one might characterize Rush Limbaugh as
a representative of all conservatives. This
is clearly not the case. Furthermore, he
attempts to compare Franken’s remarks
with the right-wing Rev. Pat Robertson’s
calls for the assassination of Venezuela’s
Hugo Chavez. Sansky remarks, “It is not
right to characterize some statements as
jokes and others as cold, hard fact.” What
Sansky does not acknowledge is that
Franken has made his career as a comedian, while Robertson is one of the most
influential religious figures in American
society. While I don’t find jokes about
killing people funny — mostly because
killing people is not funny — Sansky fails
to distinguish between the two figures he
compares.
Continuing in his argument, he claims
that liberals have a tendency to criticize
conservative politicians while praising
their own, especially former President
Bill Clinton. When young Eric was all of
nine-years old, Clinton received massive
criticism from the left for signing the 1996
Welfare Reform Bill that gutted what
social safety net was left from the New
Deal. Furthermore, Clinton’s 1998 bombing of Iraq received serious criticism from
liberals as a violation of human rights and
a failure to utilize diplomatic processes.
But these facts never appear in Sansky’s
article.
Sansky concludes his article by explaining to the reader that, “the very essence of
being a liberal lies in having the absolute
conviction that there is one set of rules for
you and another, completely different set
of rules for everyone else.” I do not know
how to respond to this attack. Really, I’m
at a loss for words. I guess all I can do is
ask Eric Sansky to never write an article
again. This is not because he is conservative. In fact, I encourage educated discourse. Simply stated, this was the worst
article I have ever read.

A wise man once said, “college is the best time of your

drunk every night?” There is much truth to this statement, but
I think the wise man leaves out one very important college aspect
— well actually two, there is that whole getting an education thing
to prevent you from living in a box.
When one enrolls in a college they are not only signing up for a
multitude of classes, a mediocre meal plan, an abundance of friendships
and a series of awkward interactions but they are also given the ultimate
gym membership. The gym in a university setting is the equivalent to the
playground in an elementary school. I am really quite convinced that my attention span is not much better than it was in second grade, so after an hour
and 15-minute class I am literally doing the “I need to go run around dance”
or at least the “I-gotta-pee dance.” College students long for the time when they
can release all that pent-up energy required for focusing on school work. Relief
comes in the form of running, lifting and climbing for as long as they so desire.
You will not believe the tiny little girls that go to the gym and run 20 miles like it is
their job. And let’s face it, the gym is a forum for college students to check out their
crushes sporting shorts and tank tops in the middle of winter with a sexy sweaty glow
— or that not so sexy tomato-faced look.
When it comes to the gym, there are three types of people who frequent it. There
are the people who make themselves go a few times a week because they feel bad about
eating all that chocolate and they want to be able to wear their skinny jeans on Saturday
night without having to worry about a “muffin top.”

Way, way back in the day in the year
1853, if you will, a little all-boys college up in Rochester, N.Y., nominated
Martin Anderson as the first president. Anderson had previously been
an editor of a Baptist periodical and
saw this presidential opportunity as a
great new opening in life.
A conservative guy, even for about
150 years ago, Anderson was a big
believer in all of his students receiving
a classic liberal arts education.
Anderson seized the opportunity to
prove that he had clear goals as well
as career paths for the young men of
his institution.
In his inaugural address, Anderson
was quoted saying, “training, discipline and learning have been undervalued, and that kind of education
alone has been deemed ‘practical,’
which tends directly and immediately
to make the student a better instrument for production.”
During his time in office, Anderson
found himself in constant financial
struggle. Despite this difficulty, he was
able to raise enough money — $38,000
in fact — to build a large complex off
University Avenue that was to become
the university’s new home.
It was built to accommodate ap-

Sorority puts a spin on old fundraiser

What do you get when you mix a
17-year-old philanthropic tradition, a
Syracuse basketball fanatic and Will
Ferrell?
Perhaps the event dubbed “Anchor
Slam: The Legend of ROC Basketball,”
an all new 3-on-3 basketball tournament organized by Delta Gamma under
the guidance of the aforementioned
‘Cuse nut, junior Dana Sall.
And, as T-shirts and fliers alert students across campus, it’s kind of a big
deal.
The event is a re-envisioning of ΔΓ’s
traditional Anchor Splash, which has
teams compete at various relays and
spirit competitions in the pool.
When Sall became Anchor Splash
chair last year, she saw her role as an
opportunity to try something new.
She immediately came up with the
idea of a basketball tournament.
Dana, a huge Syracuse fan, was inspired by the style of a basketball tournament. She looks at the tournament
as great oppurtunity for the students
to have a great time. The sisters of the
chapter are also looking forward to doing
something new and different.
One advantage of a basketball tournament is that it will allow more diverse
participation than the pool competition
had in the past.
Anchor Slam will be a
3-on-3 tournament which
allow people, besides
Greeks, to be involved.
ΔΓ sisters will take on
different roles running
the tournament as team
coaches, timers, scorekeepers, announcers or
referees.
The winning team will
snap up bragging rights
and a tasty prize package.
Sall also hopes that if enough teams
register a cash prize may be offered, or
donations from local businesses as well.
While ΔΓ anticipates the tournament
will be a success, fans of the original An-
chor Splash can keep an eye out for information in the spring, when the traditional event is likely to return.
Anchor Slam teams, which may have

MR. BIG STUFF
Aries (March 21–April 19) — If you lose,
don’t ask questions why. The only game you
know is do or die. It looks like you’d better
start doing.
Taurus (April 20–May 20) — You mustn’t
become a victim of your surroundings and
reactions. You can choose how you react to
a situation. Don’t pity yourself and don’t
hope that others will pity you, either. Be
proactive.
Gemini (May 21–June 21) — You feel that?
No, not that creepy guy playing with your
hair while you sleep — the feeling that
something big is growing. Well, it is. Keep
feeding the machine.
Cancer (June 22–July 22) — It’s “appreciate
the cleaning crew” week. Buy some doughnuts, get a coffee donation from Starbucks
and don’t forget the eucalyptus for the
cleaning crew’s pet koalas.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22) — That chick has
got a mean left hook. Does your rib cage still
hurt? Yeah, I bet it does. Ice it down and
then rub avocado all over it. Do it in public
so I can watch you. I mean, so that fresh
air brings out the natural heeling powers
of avocado.
Virgo (Aug. 23–Sept. 22) — Got to keep on
dancing, keep on dancing. Boogie nights!
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22) — Quit being so
impatient. You have got all kinds of time.
Take it slow, kick back and enjoy the scenery.
Also, stop eating Chapstick. It’s not healthy.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21) — Sock gnomes
taking your socks from the dryer? Well, toss
some peanut brittle in with your clothes
when you do laundry. This will distract the
gnomes and save your socks.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22–Dec. 21) — In a musical mood? Good, then sing, sing, sing. Shake,
shake, shake, shake your booty. Sweet, I want
to be your friend.
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19) — Twiddle dee,
twiddle dum, twiddle your thumb and swallow your gum. What exactly is a Kit and Ka
Boodle you wonder? Well, it’s a small violin
and a large group of people.
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18) — The most
important thing in life is making yourself
happy. If you’re chasing impossible dreams
or torturing yourself, change your plan of
action. In case you were wondering, the
second most important thing in life is making me happy.

So for the greater good, please stop picking

Students face dilemmas Student pines for
profʼs compassion
BY ANDREW SCHWARTZ
How did you feel when
you woke up today? If it was
anything like I did, the answer
is “pretty crappy.” Maybe it’s
the lack of a transition from
dream to reality. One second,
you’re snuggling with your hot
high school guidance counselor,
the next, you’re snuggling with
Katiyana, your pillow girlfriend.
Perhaps it can be attributed
to only getting three hours of
sleep because, after watching
five straight hours of “Scrubs”
episodes last night, the “last
episode of the night” somehow
turned into the “last season of
the night.” I’ve gone through
phases of going to sleep so
late that morning wood didn’t
start affecting me until the late
afternoon.
What I love best about those
first few moments of
consciousness is that
mini-debate you have in your
head about whether or not it’s
really necessary to go to class.
Somehow, people essentially
make the most important decisions of their day at a juncture
in which their minds are least
capable of logical reasoning.
However, likening this internal
conflict to a debate would be a
poor analogy. I don’t know which
side of your brain is arguing in
favor of waking up every morning, but my guess is that it’s part
of the 90 percent of your brain
that doesn’t work.
Ultimately, this debate is conducted by analyzing the pros and
cons of sleeping through class.
First of all, you can get any
notes you missed from someone
else smarter than you, thereby
making it advantageous for you
to miss class.
Second, getting a solid night’s
sleep will allow you to accomplish more during the day.
Now for the cons of sleeping through class — there are
none.
In your half-conscious stupor,
you are often able to convince
yourself that no negative repercussions will ever come
from sleeping through
class. So, of course,
having fully justified it
with irrefutable logic
and elaborate intellect, you not only go
back to sleep, but
also do so with a
clean conscience.
After all, you’re

seemed foolproof at the time,
you will probably never accomplish all that you intended.
You’ll never end up asking your
smart friend for their notes
because you realize that doing
so makes you an asshole, not a
friend.
You may very well wake up
full of ambition, but a load of
laundry and the reorganization of a binder later, I assure
you that somehow it’ll feel like
you’ve accomplished enough.
The point I’m trying to make
here is the same one your parents try to make every time you
talk to them on the phone. But
hear me out — I go through it
every day just like you. If you
don’t believe me, just take a look
at me before noon as I drag myself from class to class. I’m easy
to find because I’m the one who
wears pajama pants every single
day. It’s not a style — it’s exactly
what I wore to bed. I just get up,
put on shoes and make my way
to class.
So, let me be the one to tell
you how it is. The university
knows that you get three hours
of sleep a night and, quite frankly, just doesn’t care. Stop by the
Corner Store or bookstore sometime and take notice of the not
one, but two brands of caffeine
pills being sold. The 7-Eleven
next to my house doesn’t even
sell caffeine pills. If that’s not
proof enough, consider the three
coffee distributors partitioned
evenly throughout campus, so
that not only can you get coffee,
but, no matter where you are,
it’s not too far of a walk.
So wake up, pop a caffeine
pill, buy a latte and get your
ass to class. I promise you that
nothing bad will come of going
to class. You just might even do

It seems to be the most popular trend since Ugg boots and
those ugly bohemian skirts that,
for some reason, everyone insists

giving them mohawks.

really think about it.
A boy five years older would
be great. Even 10 years older
would be OK, but I don’t think it
would be possible for me to have
a romantic relationship with
someone who was alive at a time
when MTV actually only played
music videos.
This, of course, all changed
the day I walked into my first
class of the semester. I became
completely mesmerized by one
of my professors, who is at least
20 years older than me. He does
not look like George Clooney. He
does not even look like Harrison
Ford, and yet he had me at “OK
— I think we should start now.”

I know it is going to be good.
Is it because he is my professor and instilling precious wisdom on my malleable mind that
I find him so irresistible? Or is
it because I am aware of his age
and know he has worldy experience, which beats a guy who has
a six-pack any day?
Whatever it is, I have completely succumbed to his wily
charms, and I know I will never
be the same. Of course, I am
sure that the relationship will

Shakespeare thrills in Douglass
BY DAWN RYAN
Let’s face it, when you hear the name
“Shakespeare,” you might prepare yourself for a solid three-hour nap, and who
could blame you. In the upcoming performance of “Titus Andronicus,” however,
you’ll have a hard time falling asleep even
after the show, let alone during the performance. After all, letting your attention
wander as the actors run around in vengeful mayhem could honestly be hazardous
to your safety.
Uncharacteristically, this play is being
performed as a dinner theater at Douglass
Dining Center, with actors running up
and down the stairs and even between the
tables. The characters do it all — rape,
pillage, murder, eat other people and even
crack a few jokes. Ancient Rome is the
play’s appropriate backdrop for all the
violence and gore.
While the language is still Shakespearian, the time gaps in between ancient
Rome, the Elizabethan age and the 21st
century are hardly an issue due to textual
editing.
Student director and Take Five Scholar
Jess Davis worked with professor of English Rosemary Kegl to condense the text
into a two-hour play.
“I didn’t want to direct a six-hour
play,” Davis said.
The talented, emotional acting strategically helps diminish the language barrier.
It’s also not hard to understand violence
and murder when it is right in front of
you. There are over nine on-stage murders, a rape, severed hands and tongues,
two beheadings and even some cannibalism.
One of the most unsettling sections is
the highly emotional rape scene.
“[The rape may] offend audiences more
than anything else,” Davis said, “[but] if
people are still in the audience after it, the
play reveals a darker, complex side of the
human condition.”
While the play is extremely dark, you

can’t help but laugh at the exorbitant
crudeness of it all.
“You need a sick sense of humor to
enjoy this one,” Davis said.
There are dirty sex jokes scattered
throughout the entire play and constant
puns about severed limbs that you have to
pay attention to.
By far, one of the funniest and sickest
scenes of the play is when one of the actresses carries a severed hand around the
stage in her mouth because her hands,
too, have been chopped off.
This play will both thrill and disgust
you, and being performed in Douglass
makes the atmosphere truly unique.
While there may be parts that don’t appeal to all, the insight into how far people
are willing to go to get revenge is extreme-
ly dark, but nonetheless true. You’ll definitely leave the performance in chills, and
not because it’s late fall in Rochester.
By the end of the play, the actions seem
so fowl that you’re drained of all disgust
and can’t help but laugh.
“This isn’t the normal pretentious,
scholarly Shakespeare,” Davis said, “but
something you can really laugh at.” All in
all, cynics, this one is just for you.
“Titus Andronicus” will be performed
for free at 9 p.m. Nov. 3 through 5 in Douglass Dining Center.
The performance is co-sponsored by the
undergraduate English Council and Fashionably Late. Patrons are encouraged to
bring their dinner.

characters, played by Grace and Blair,
walk around in their underwear for no
good reason. I, however, was confused as
to why Grace was walking outside in approximately negative 50-degree weather
with no pants on.
So, the cast is hot and the effects are
cool, but why did I walk away from this
movie with such a feeling of disappointment? Maybe it was because the film felt
incomplete. Like all faithful films of the
21st century, there was a love triangle
— however, the triangle and any sign of
a relationship wasn’t effective because
it was rarely addressed throughout the
course of the film.
Does the film industry trade quality
films for eye candy? Maybe they should
just stop trying to remake films — especially those that were not originally wellreceived.

Having been a longtime horror fan,
I am thoroughly disappointed with
the majority of recent horror films.
Of all the genres of film, horror gets
the least amount of respect and seems
to receive the most contempt from
pretentious cinephiles. Perhaps this
is for good reason, considering many
horror films are produced with limited budgets and have high expectations from viewers.
However exploitative or not, I have
always had a place in my heart for
the horror film. From the traditional
classics like F.W. Murnau’s “Nosferatu,” Todd Browning’s “Dracula”
and “Freaks,” to the more experimental, politically charged horrors
of the ’70s, like Toby Hooper’s “The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and Wes
Craven’s “The Hills Have Eyes,” horror has been a means of expressing
repressed social tensions in a blunt
terrifying manner.
For me, watching horror is cathartic. An effective horror film fleshes
out my nightmares and forces me
to face my fears head on with visual
bombardment. On occasion, indulging
in the “bad but good” horror film can
also be fun.
Unfortunately, I have not recently
seen a horror film that provides me
with that relaxing experience. The
fact that “Doom” was the highest
grossing film its opening weekend is
rather sad.
The film, based on the video game,
features “The Rock” as the leading
actor who is chosen to embody the
ultimate dissipation of the horror
genre. It uses a gimmicky technique
— incorporating first person perspective — trying to simulate an actual
game being played. I feel like “Doom”
doesn’t deserve my rage since I expect
nothing more from a film that allows
“The Rock” to have a speaking role.
I’ve also been irked by the current
Hollywood trend of remaking Asian
horror films that were perfectly fine
on their own — “The Grudge,” “Dark
Water” and “The Ring,” known as
“Ju-on,” “Honogurai mizu no soko
kara” and “Ringu,” respectively, are
just a few.
It seems as though in order to be
successful in the United States, films
have to be in English and feature popular actors like Naomi Watts or Sarah
Michelle-Gellar. It seems as though it
would be easier to just re-release the
originals.
Well, it seems that the majority of
horror films today are awful, but it
can be rewarding when a hidden gem
is found while searching and sifting
through the vast amount of garbage
out there.
For those of you who feel the same
and need a good scare, check out Takashi Miike’s “Audition” and Ji-Woon
Kim’s “A Tale of Two Sisters.”

Ben Folds ‘landed’ in Brockport
BY JENNA KATZ
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
Ben Folds stormed through
new and old songs at SUNY
Brockport on Sunday evening,
rocking a crowd composed
mainly of students. Older fans
could be spotted on the outskirts
of the crowd, along with those
who were decked out in Halloween costumes too delicate for the
masses.
Colorado-based band, The
Fray, revved the audience for
Folds with their alternative rock
tunes and their interactions with
the audience. Although many of
the songs were mellow, the lyrics
that keyboarder and singer Isaac
Slade passionately sung effectively captured the attention of
the audience.
After a short set change, which
included the arrival of Folds’
piano with great applause from
the audience, Folds took the
stage with his touring band composed of a bassist and drummer.
The theme of the evening soon
became the poor acoustics in the
gym.
“I’ve never heard a better
sounding gym,” Folds said after the first few songs. He later
returned to the subject saying,
“Not only do you get to hear two
bands for the price of one, but
you also get to hear every song
twice. Everything that we play
up here bounces off the back
wall,” he continued, while point-

ing to the stage and then the
back wall.
While the echoes and overall
sound quality were disappointing, Folds played a great show
that can best be described in
three parts — the new songs,
Folds without the band and the
hits.
The New Songs
Folds opened his set with two
songs from his April 2005 release
“Songs For Silverman.” “Bastard” and “Late” engulfed the
attention of new fans in addition
to those who had been waiting to
hear the new album live since its
release.
While some older songs like
“Annie Waits,” “Still Fighting
It” and “All You Can Eat” made
their way into the setlist, Folds
used the beginning of the set to
rehearse his new album live.
“I would have liked to hear
some older stuff in the beginning,” senior Danielle Ford said.
“But, I am glad that he played
‘Landed.’” “Landed,” the single
off of “Songs For Silverman,”
scored Folds airtime on major
radio stations this summer and
received great applause from the
audience.
Folds Without the Band
Even though Folds had a supporting band, it became increasingly evident that the audience
was there for the Ben Folds show.
In ditching the band, Folds was
able to play mellower songs that

would have been ruined by the
presence of a bass or a drum.
During this segment, Folds floated through lullabies like “Brick,”
“Gracie” and “Lullabye.”
He later picked up the pace
with the popular “Army.”
“This song is dedicated to all
of you who are in ROTC to get
through college,” Folds said before playing the song. While he
jammed on the piano, Folds split
the audience into two parts and
had them sing rounds of “ba’s,”
in rhythm with the melody of the
song.
The Hits
After serenading and energizing the audience by creating a
chorus out of them, there was
nothing left to do but further
elate them through popular
tunes like “Zak and Sara,”
“Rockin’ the Suburbs” and “Philosophy.”
However, it wasn’t until the
second encore, “Not the Same,”
that Folds showed his unparalleled talent as a performer. In the
last few moments of the song,
Folds jumped on top of his piano
where he, once again, conducted
the audience as a chorus. The
song ended, not with his own
voice, but with a faint “ba” from
the audience — truly illustrating
Folds’ ability to connect with his
audience.
“I haven’t been to a concert in
a long time,” senior Margot Jacobs said. “Ben really reminded
me of why I love live music.”

Ossia debuts new, original music CALENDAR
BY KATIE HILER
For those who think the Eastman School of Music is only
concerned with classical music
and hasn’t yet been convinced
otherwise, Ossia, a student-run
group entirely dedicated to the
production of new music, may
change your mind.
Funded by Eastman, it receives musical works from famous contemporary composers
to budding Eastman musicians.
Ossia’s goal is to perform works
of a differing caliber than one
usually finds at Eastman due to
content, media or composer. Ossia has its roots in the unconventional — its name being derived
from the score marking that
indicates a musical alternative.
Is trying something new not
your thing? You may have already experienced the alternative sounds of Ossia on the River
Campus without even knowing
it. If this past September you
halted in your tracks to quizzically watch a group of instrumentalists randomly spread out
across Dandelion Square, you
probably witnessed a rehearsal
for Merger, a composition by
Take Five Scholar Abby Aresty.
Founded in 1997, the group
has expanded beyond just “serious” concerts given at venues
such as Kilbourn Hall and Christ
Church to now include tours,
recordings and outdoor productions such as the one displayed
on the River Campus.
This year’s concert season also
includes a show at Kilbourn Hall
at 8 p.m. on Nov. 16, highlighting works from composers Anton
Webern, Franco Donatoni, Arnold
Schoenberg and senior Ethan
Borshansky.
If you are wondering how an
Eastman composition student is
admitted into the program, it is
through Ossia’s unique system of
selection. As a student-run group,
Ossia is completely dependent
upon proposals submitted by
Eastman faculty, students and
members of the greater Rochester
area. Proposals are then reviewed
each year by a board of members
and a repertoire is then created
for the next concert season. Almost any style ensemble is possible, from small singing groups
to chamber orchestras to a small,
full scale orchestra. It’s exactly
this kind of unique opportunity
that draws composers to the
prestigious school and enhances
its already well-established new
music program.
“I am a composer and pianist,”
Ossia member and doctoral student David Plylar said. “And one
of the reasons I chose to come to
Eastman to pursue my Ph.D. was
because of Eastman’s commitment to new music.”
Ossia’s current main conductor and doctoral student Martin
Seggelke began working with the
group for similar reasons.
“I found the Ossia info table
during orientation week and
signed up for their pool of performers as a conductor, thinking,
‘Wow, here’s a group organizing
themselves, totally dedicated
to contemporary music. This is
outstanding, I want to be a part
of it!’” Seggelke said.
Ossia contributes to Roches-

ter’s unique artistic diversity by
providing residents with access
to one of the world’s most successful student-run new music
ensembles.
The inspiration behind these
musicians comes from their
dedication to bringing new music to the Rochester community,
where it might not otherwise be
heard.
“One of the important jobs of
today’s conductors [is] to commission, perform and repeatedly
perform contemporary music
in order to add to a productive
[and] innovative music scene as
part of the cultural life in our
society,” Seggelke said.
It’s the same idea that is behind the success and continual
performance of classical music
pieces — the old favorites that
we all know, like a good Thanksgiving dinner. Only these guys
are out to create a whole new
menu and are prepared to make
it last.
When asked why student members of Ossia chose to deviate
from the classical path, Public
Relations Manager, clarinetist and graduate student Kara
Bancks provides a straightforward answer.

Japanese music students experience Mozart
BY JOHN FUENTES
Eastman School of Music
alumnus Todd Lowery ’89,
brought the genius of Mozart
to young Japanese students in
Tokyo on Oct. 7.
Thirty-two Japanese fourthgrade students stood on stage in
Tokyo’s world-renown Bunkamura Orchard Hall and sang
sections from Mozart’s famous
opera “Don Giovanni.”
The children were all students
from Japan’s Gunma Kokusai
Academy. The concert was part
of a series of events that praised
and recognized the achievements
of the Royal Opera House of
Belgium and its musical director,
Kazushi Ono.
Lowery and his students were
the center of attention at many
concerts and workshops leading up to their performance
in Bunkamura Orchard Hall.
Lowery’s goal was to spread education and knowledge about the
life, music and legacy of Mozart,
as well as the history of European opera.
The experience combined
traditional European classical
music with modern Japanese
culture, something that Lowery
is proud of.
“This workshop was truly a
unique educational and cultural
COURTESY OF EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC

experience for our students,”
Lowery said, describing the cultural blend. “The exposure to a
foreign culture at this level provided the unique opportunity for
these young Japanese students to
learn more about their own culture, as well as encouraging them
to continually compare these new
ideas, methods and cultural ideals
to their own.”
Lowery takes great pride in
the fact that the young Japanese
students were exposed to Western
music in a way that would not
have been possible through any
other means.
Lowery received his bachelor’s
degree in music education and
trombone performance from
Eastman in 1989 and his master’s degree in jazz and contemporary media in 1993.
Sony Music Foundation sponsored the concert and other
educational activities organized
by Lowery himself. SMF is a
philanthropic organization
that sponsors music education
programs and concerts through-
out Japan and the world. Their
sponsorship of this event was
crucial to its success, a fact that
both Lowery and Eastman do not
overlook.
As a professional musician and
music instructor, Lowery could
not be more proud of his work.
“As an educator, this was the
most emotionally powerful experience I’ve ever had,” he said.
“The beauty with which the
children sang was full of hope
and unity.”
It is the mission of any teacher
or professor to instill the values of an educated life to his or
her students, and it can be said
without question that Lowery is
fulfilling this legacy through his
work. His great talents and passions have allowed him to extend
the values preached at Eastman
to children and audiences around
the world.
“Todd’s work represents
exactly the type and quality of innovation for which the Eastman
School is known,” Dean of the
Eastman School of Music James
Undercofler said. “We look forward to seeing how Todd continues to share his substantial
talents.”
SMF is also proud to be involved with Lowery’s work.

Success marks conductor’s life Ossia: Group creates future
BY MEREDITH BROD
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
A. Clyde Roller ’41, a celebrated conductor at the Eastman
School of Music, passed away
at the age of 91 in San Antonio,
Texas.
An Oklahoma native, Roller
began studying oboe as a young
boy. He started his professional
musical career as principal oboist with the Tulsa Philharmonic
Orchestra, later joining the Oklahoma City Symphony.
He first returned to Eastman
in 1963 to accept the position as
professor of ensemble. As professor of ensemble, he directed the
Eastman Wind Ensemble from
1964 to 1966.
He led them in the recording
of Hovhaness’ third symphony,
which was named one of the best
recordings of the year by High
Fidelity, a music review publication.
After leaving Eastman, he
continued on to be named the
resident conductor of the Houston Symphony Orchestra, professor of music at the University
of Texas at Austin and a guest
conductor across the globe.
Throughout his career, Roller
received a number of honors and
awards for his work. In Amarillo,
Texas, he is credited for saving
the Amarillo Symphony. Under
Roller’s guidance, the symphony
made the transition from a volunteer organization to a professional symphony.
The City of Amarillo recognized him with the Man of the
Year Award in 1961. In addition,
he received the Texas Orchestra
Director of the Year Award, the
Outstanding Educator of America Award and the National Artist Affiliate Award from Sigma
Alpha Iota, an internationally
recognized fraternity for music
students.

mers of his life working with
Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Interlochen works to engage and
inspire musicians worldwide to
strive for excellence in educational, artistic and cultural programs, enhancing the quality of
life through the arts.
“[He] was very expressive and
a real mentor to young musicians,” conductor of the academy
band Bryan Hanson said. “No
matter what instrument [the
students] played, he could teach
them something.”
While at Interlochen, Roller
was presented with one of his
highest honors — the Edwin
Franko Goldman Memorial Citation by the American Bandmasters Association for his deducation and contributions to bands
and band music in America.
Roller’s daughter, Lynda Verner, stated that there are ongoing
plans for a memorial service to
be held at Interlochen during the
summer.
In the winter of 1981, Roller
returned to Eastman and was
honored with the Eastman
School’s Alumni Achievement
Award, which was awarded
to him for his ability to “elicit
an uncommon unanimity of
purpose, inspiring the highest
musical standards — because
of his uncompromising musical
integrity and unceasing dedication, the nation and world are
considerably enriched,” as read
the award.
For the 50th anniversary of
the Eastman Wind Ensemble in
2002, he conducted “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral.” The
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle described the performance
as being “in every way rewarding [with] charm, simplicity and
bucolic warmth,” which also
seems to be an appropriate description of his interactions in
the musical world.

Field hockey sticks it to Brockport
BY JENNA ANDERSON
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
This weekend was the end of
the regular season for the UR field
hockey team, but the Yellowjackets
are not done playing. With a 10-8
overall record, the team finished
third in the Liberty League and
earned a coveted spot in the conference playoffs for the first time in
the Yellowjackets history.
The Yellowjackets had a hard
time scoring Wednesday, but
managed to score two over their
opponent’s one, defeating SUNY
Brockport in overtime under the
lights of Fauver Stadium. Brockport scored first, tapping the ball
into the goal along the right end
line 47 minutes into the game.
Less than 10 minutes later, junior and cocaptain Mary DiMatteo
and junior Celi Fletcher combined
to form an intimidating offensive
force — DiMatteo netted one with
Fletcher’s help at time of 56 minutes. DiMatteo led the team with
nine shots at goal, followed closely
by Fletcher with five.
Junior Krista Butler also had
five shots at goal, while junior
Revay Wilson, senior Courtney
Nussbaum and sophomore Kari
Plewniak added to the offensive
effort as well.
Despite their clear domination

enter into overtime with the Golden
Eagles in a 1-1 tie.
In overtime, DiMatteo and
Fletcher once again combined
forces to score what would be the
winning goal. The game was placed

“We try to continually apply
pressure, even though we are not
the best finishing team,” Gurnett
said. “We maintain possession of
the ball and keep it into attacking
positions where we can ultimately
finish. A number of things that contributed to the team’s performance
are defense, spirit and composure.
We never give up. When time runs
short, everyone turns it up and it’s
great to see.”
The team’s performance this
weekend gave them a huge boost in
the standings. They currently hold
the No. 5 spot in NCAA regional
polls and jumped from No. 17 in
the nation to No. 11 with their
11-1-2 record.
Last season the Yellowjackets
finished 11-6-3 qualifying them
for a playoff spot in the Eastern
College Athletic Conference. This
year the team looks to surpass last
year’s achievements.
“Halfway through the season,
the coaching staff saw we had
something pretty good going on,”
Gurnett said. “We won games in
closing minutes. Halfway through,
we realized we’re alright, and knew
we could defend. We just needed to
figure ways out to score.”
The Yellowjackets are scheduled
to close out the regular season with
their final game on the road against
conference rival Case Western.

Over the years, Nussbaum has

— who defeated the team in overtime earlier this season — in the

Men reverse the curse

CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
The men’s cross country team
has been experiencing a streak of
poor performances at the University Athletic Association Championship meet — placing last in the
conference for the past four years.
This all changed on Saturday, however, when they placed fifth out of
eight teams.
Led by sophomore Mark Stevens,
UR racked up 112 points, placing
them in front of Case Western Reserve University, Emory University
and Brandeis University.

senior Kevin McGettrick said. “The

in our abilities and our belief that
we are one of the top teams in the
state and in the region.”
Stevens, a consistent top runner
throughout the season, finished
second out of 78 runners with a
time of 25:21.1 for the eight kilometer race — coming in less than four
seconds behind the winner.
McGettrick came in at 26:23.8,
finishing 20th. The Yellowjackets’
top five runners finished in the top
40, as junior Joseph Lust finished
25th with a time of 26:31.5, sophomore Daniel Mueller finished 30th
with a time of 26:42.9 and freshman
Daniel Chebot came in at 26:54,
placing 36th.
“The course was one that was
characterized both by long, gradual
hills, yet a very fast surface and
good weather conditions,” McGettrick said. “The result was that
almost the whole team ran very fast
times despite the hills.”
McGettrick pays tribute to
the team’s growing confidence
throughout the season as a main
reason for their notable accomplishment.
Carrying on the excitement
of last weekend’s success, the
Yellowjackets are working toward the upcoming championship
events.
This weekend, they are traveling to the New York State College
Track Championships at Hamilton
College, and they will run at the
NCAA Atlantic Regional Championships here on Nov. 12.
If they finish as one of the top two
teams at the regional meet, they’ll
travel to the national championships in Ohio the following weekend. The men are feeling optimistic
of their upcoming meets.
“Without a doubt, I feel that the
best is yet to come for our team,
and our performances will speak for
themselves at these forthcoming
meets,” McGettrick said.

The Chicago White Sox,
whose highest paid player
earns only $100,000 more
than the average salary of the
highest paid team in baseball,
won the ultimate prize — the
World Series. The highest paid
team did not even make it past
the division series and has not
won a World Series since 2000,
despite paying their players almost twice as much as even the
closest team in total payroll.
The difference is that the
White Sox came together for a
common goal, whereas the New
York Yankees could not team
up, despite having many talented players. The Yankees send
nine individual players onto

the field, whereas the White Sox
are on the field as one.
Baseball is not the only sport
in which the championship has
gone to a team without superstars. In the last Stanley Cup series, before the National Hockey
League took a year’s hiatus,
the two teams contending for
the championship, the Tampa
Bay Lightning and the Calgary
Flames, were both in the bottom
half of the NHL in total payroll.
Both of these teams knew how
to use the talent that they had
to win games.
Take the recent New England
Patriots football dynasty. Despite having one of the lowest
payrolls in the league, they have
won three of the last four Super
Bowls, the first coming in the
2001 season, where they had
the second lowest payroll in the
league to the Minnesota Vikings.
Of the 32 teams in 2004,
their 24th-ranked payroll beat
the second-ranked payroll of
the Philadelphia Eagles for the
world championship. The Patriots did not win because of talent
alone — they won because they
came together to produce a win
over a team with players like
Terrell Owens.
What do these examples go
to show? Money isn’t buying
championships anymore. It’s no
longer the A-Rod’s, Sergei Federovs and Michael Vicks bringing home the rings. Instead, the
teams are working together, like
the White Sox, Lightning and
Patriots, who bring home the
trophies.
This, however, does not necessarily mean that good players
can’t work together. The 2002
Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a
perfect example of the opposite
situation. The team that won
Super Bowl XXXVII included
big stars like Warren Sapp,
Derrick Brooks, Mike Alstott
and Keyshawn Johnson. These
playmakers, along with lesserknown players, worked together
to bring the Lombardi Trophy
to Tampa for the first time in
history. In fact, the Super Bowl’s
Most Valuable Player Dexter
Jackson, was not one of the typical superstars — he was simply
one of the guys trying to help
the team win the game.
Despite the good teamwork
displayed by the Bucs in the
2002 season, the Super Bowl win
went to their heads. Players like
Johnson and Keenan McCardell
suddenly had it in their minds
that they were the stars and
began demanding more buck
for their bang. Johnson created
dissension in the clubhouse, and
when he left to play for the Dallas Cowboys, McCardell insisted
on more money and attention
— he believed he was the star in
Johnson’s absence.
The combination of their egos
and the egos of other players on
the team led to two consecutive under .500 seasons for
the Bucs. Presently, the Buccaneers have rid themselves of
such players and are back on
their feet with a strong start to
the season at 5-2.
Stars are not winning games
and championships on their
own. The teams bringing home
victories each time they play
— and most importantly when
a championship is on the line
— are the ones who play as
a cohesive unit. It is not the
performance of one player, but
the performance of the team as
a whole.
It is the team that capitalizes on good luck and turns
around bad luck. It is the team
that takes injuries in stride
and does not let a reputation
or a big name intimidate them.
So who will win next seasons’
championship? The Pittsburgh
Penguins? The Cincinnati Bengals? The Tampa Bay Devil
Rays? Only time will tell.

Apple’s team cooks up a sweet pie
Senior Nate Micklos challenges Matt Wilkonson from Carnegie Mellon, which helped set up UR’s first goal.
BY ALEX MOELLER
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
The men’s soccer team
hosted a pair of games
against tough league rivals this past weekend and
showed why they are one
of the best teams in the
nation.
The Yellowjackets used
great defense and timely
goals to post two victories
in three days and clinch the
University Athletic Association league title.
On Friday night, the
Yellowjackets defeated the
Emory University Eagles by
a score of 2-1. The first half
featured back and forth attacks by the two teams, but
the first goal came with just
10 seconds left in the half.
A long throw-in eventually found its way to Eagles
forward Chad Chambers in
front of the goal. He punched
a shot past sophomore and
UR goalie Paco Corbalan to
give the Eagles the lead and
the momentum going into
the half.
Most teams would have
folded after giving up a late
goal, but the Yellowjackets
came out in the second half
and showed their mettle.
UR won more challenges,
created better offensive opportunities and it paid off
in the 62nd minute. Senior
Gary Stom ripped a shot
that Eagles goalie Rohit
Agarwal couldn’t smother,
while senior Nate Micklos
stuffed the rebound in the
back of the net to tie the
game at 1-1.
Six minutes later, Micklos
and the Yellowjackets received a golden opportunity
that got the crowd on its
feet. Off a cross from senior
Steve Maltzman, Micklos
hit a great header past
Agarwal that looked like a
sure goal.
However, the ball glanced
off the right post and rolled
across the entire mouth of
the goal.
Unfortunately for UR,
no one was there to punch
it in and it was eventually
knocked out of bounds.
Senior Damian Hallatt
gave the Yellowjackets their
first lead of the night in the
71st minute. He ripped a
picture-perfect shot from
the left side that sailed past

Womenʼs soccer win with a dramatic comebacker
BY JOHN SERAFINI
CAMPUS TIMES STAFF
October weather tasted
stale to a lot of soccer teams,
but not for the UR women’s
team, who went 9-0-1 for the
month when they tacked
on a pair of wins this past
weekend.
The weekend matches
featured some of UR’s greatest competition seen in a
long time.
The Yellowjackets first
squared off against Emory
University, a team that entered Fauver Stadium No.
22 in the nation to UR’s
No. 17.
UR controlled the ball
throughout the entire match,
pressuring the Emory defense with 16 shots on goal
while surrendering just two
to their offense. However,
converting shots into goals
created some problems for
UR.
The Yellowjackets tried to
exploit Emory’s defense with
free kicks, corner kicks and
fast breaks, but couldn’t find
a real opportunity to grab
hold of until the final two
minutes.
Emory charged down the
field to UR’s end and was
eventually awarded a free
kick. Emory’s Jessie Dean
chipped the ball from 25
yards out, but her shot was
rejected by sophomore and
goaltender Molly Leitch who
punched out Dean’s shot.
Emory tried to pressure
on the rebound, but Leitch
stepped in again and quelled
the Emory offense.
The Yellowjackets kicked
the ball out to senior Kristen
Leskow, who passed the ball
to junior Mary Walsh.
Walsh collected the ball
upfield and burned Emory’s
defense, forcing a showdown
between herself and Emory’s
goalkeeper. Walsh’s intimidating run forced Emory’s
goalie to come off the line, at
which point Walsh laced the
ball into the lower left corner
to give UR the lead and the
final score of 1-0.

Swimming and Diving
Yellowjackets grab a pair of victories
Both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving
teams garnered well-earned wins at SUNY Brockport this
past weekend. They sprinted their way to a range of wins
including the 400-yard medley relay.

Volleyball
Women tie for seventh at NYSWCAA
The Yellowjackets entered the NYSWCAA Championships
with a win against SUNY Brockport. Unfortunately, they
were unable to build on to their great start, losing to both
Rochester Institute of Technology and Ithaca College.
