Cover: Contributing Photographers: Scott Daniels • (irover San.schagrin Mark Sasahara • Alan Farkas John Camett • Steven Hockstein R E P R O R L E In the past quarter, I have worked with eight individuals who, unfortunately for REPORTER, will be graduating next weekend. It is my heartfelt belief that it is they, not the Editor-in Chief, who deserve the credh for producing this quality publication on a weekly basis. My thanks to: John Weingardt, who's self assurance and p u b l i c a t i o n knowledge I wish I had; Stewart Place and Darlene Parker, who put up with a hotel major stumbling his way through publishing a magazine; Jacqueline Pelzer, who took up the slack while our secretary was out; and Mark Sasahara and his calm attitude throughout every internal problem. Also, my thanks to Gary Mostcller, Alan Farkas, and Mike Tuleja, who, while not as visible as the other graduating seniors, were no less dedicated. I hope each of you find true prosperity and happiness in your years following R I T . • • • The Reagan Administration, in its infinite wisdom, has moved to cut federal student loan and student aid programs for higher education. It is likely Congress will be deliberating over this move during our summer vacation. Any cut in federally supported education would be a drastic mistake. The administration claims that the system is being abused by many students who really do not need the aid. This is too bad, but inherent in big bureaucracies. Also inherent in a bureaucratic system is the tendency to ignore individual situations and simply analyze numbers. Because of this, coupled with more education cuts, some of us will not be able to attend college. Therefore, while you arc home this summer with plenty of free time and away from academic pressures, it might be a good idea to write your Represen tativc or Senator, expressing objection to this ill conceived budget plan. I f you are in a position of financial securitv, write anyway. You could be helping your roommate, best friend, and thousands of students who will have to sacrifice a quality education because they can not afford it. I f we do nothing to protest this move, it will certainly be approved bv Congress. Our future depends on the education we give our f)eople. We should protest most vehemently.

O'Brien Elaine Spaull 4 LETTERS Congratulations and thanks to all the peo pie involved in making last Friday's Spring fest events such a success. It was a welcome change to see the R I T community turn out in such numbers for a school sponsored event. Mavbe this should be taken as an ex ample to the rest of us that with a little par ticipation in R I T clubs and organizations, we can make our stay here a little more en jovable and meaningful. I hope the recent turnouts for "We Are The World " and Springfest were not mere ly a phenomenon of spring, but the begin ning of a new awareness that involvement can make a difference. Mavbe we should each make a "New Year's Resolution" to get just a little involved in something in the "fall. Again, thanks to all those involved in Springfest, not just for the fun of last Friday, but laving down an example to the rest of us that "it's true we make a brighter day, just you and me!" Nick l.evay Fourth year Printing Student In Praise Of Faith On May 18. at about 1 \ a.m., I will be taking part in our graduation ceremony. When I think of that day, which is just a few days awav, I cannot help but think of the graduation ceremony I went through three years ago. During that graduation ceremony, which took place at the State L'niversity of New York at Canton. I made a decision for Christ. After three years (I had changed majors) at Canton, during this boring ceremony, hungover, I said, " L o r d , I ' m all yours." Now this wasn't a spur of the moment thing. I had been reading the Bible, talking to {ieople (Christians and nonOhristians), and doing a lot of thinking. Finally, I just faced the fact that the important things of this world are just so shallow in com pari.son to the riches of (icnl. Mv whole life totally changed. I had surely experienced what the Apostle Paul had written in his second Epistle to the Corinthians, "Therefore, i f any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed awav; behold all things become new." (5:17) Wow. did I experience this. Before I knew it, I was in school again. This time I was Christian and in coming to R I T , I knew I could go one of two wavs: the old, or the new in Christ. Bv the grace of Cod, I became involved in the Brothers and Sisters in Christ Christian Fellowship. For mv three years here at R I T , I have been involved in the group. I have ap preciated the group and all the other Chris- tian Fellowships as well. Sometimes I look back at those Canton years and it boggles my mind to .see where the Lord has taken me. Someone once told me that I was brainwashed. A M E N , my brains needed a washing. Maybe myself or another Christian has aggravated you with the Cospel (good news) of Jesus Christ. I can remember when I was aggravated at Canton and now I thank ( i o d for it. Can a society, so educated, advanced, and enlightened, believe in a personal (»od that came down from his glorv, in the form of a man (Jesus), and died for the sins of the world? .^s wild as it sounds, I believe it with all mv heart. In conclusion, I would like to challenge you to read the Holy Bible and to ask (iod for his truth. And who knows, maybe vou will make the greatest decision of your life during ceremonies. George Pompo Ethiopian Thanks Us The ongoing effort on the R I T campus to help starving people in the drought affected regions in Africa, mainlv in Ethiopia, mv countrv, has touched mv heart deeply. Mv people, caught between a natural disaster (drought) and human made proheconomic policy), have suffered for at least a decade. Today, this situation has led to decade. Today, this situation has led to great horror and human tragedy. Many people throughout the world have tried, and are still trying, to help and to save lives in whatever way they can. By the activities of April 2.1, and by their continuing efforts, students and faculty memlx-rs at RIT" have demonstrated that they really care. Because of these efforts, thousands of jjeoplc's lives have been saved. As an E.lhiopian, I would like to thank everyone who took and is taking part in these humane activities. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest thanks to all {X'ople outside of this community for their great concern and effort. Shawel Beyene Another Gary View The moving of the Cary Library has stirred many different feelings among students, faculty, and alumni at R I T , especially in the School of Printing. Today, I had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Lawson, the original Cary professor. I thought that he, if anyone could straighten out "the facts". I asked him to comment on a few remarks made bv Reno Antonietti in last weeks issue of the REPORTER. The first was i f in fact " i t should be pointed out that the Cary Collection was originally formed as an adMay 10. 1985 ministrativc unit of the Wallace Memorial Library. " I asked him i f this statement was true. M r . Lawson replied, " N o , it never was." The Wallace only helped the Cary out during its building process. Books were stored in the Wallace while the Cary was being made, purchasing was done through the Wallace originally, and the Cary did make use of their established system, but only in the beginning. Todav however, the Wallace has not "continued to support the Cary Library through shared purchasing and transfer of materials." Maybe once or twice they have split orders, but this has not been a common practice. I really don't think this whole situation is based on facts however. It is based on feelings. Because the location will become inadequate to house the growing collection in five to six years doesn't mean that the solution lies in taking it away from the School of Printing. There are plenty of spaces within the school itself that could be allocated as storage areas. What the ad ministration is offering, when it comes right down to it, is space only. We already have classroom area, study comers elegance and atmosphere. As far as location goes, sure it is central ly located, but that is not what is impor tant. Its visibility to the Printing School is. The Gary Library is the Humanism of print ing. For those at the School of Printing, it ties together all aspects of their education. It represents fine craftsmanship and our ideal! I don't think (although they might enjoy it too) the other schools would share that same enthusiasm that the Cary has to offer. It is not that we do not want the Cary to expand, we just don't want it to lose its identity and our close identity to it. When people from all over the world come to the School of Printing not only are they impressed with the technical facilities, but also how we are able to tie in our education with the end products themselves. The quality of all processes and stages combined in the physical books is impressive. There was once a beautiful librarv at the School of Printing, it was the best in the state for printing references. Kodak, Xerox, and many others used to frequent it, but soon the books were moved out for con ference rooms and intum the loss of its identity. Probably more than half the Printing students today don't even know that it existed. I know I didn't. I would have to disagree with Reno Antoniettc's comment defending the ad ministration. Not one administrator who has decided the Gary's fate has taken the time to comment on any of the student's reactions. I f infact they had "the verv best interest of R I T and its students at heart" why didn't they consult them first' Why is it when the faculty disapproved of their proposal that they in essence said, "too bad"? Guarantees have been made before but none have stood up. Spaces originally set aside for the School of Printing have been taken away by the photo finishing labs and various others. The Paf>er lab couldn't even get an automatic paper making machine due to space taken awav and broken promises. What makes you think we should believe them this time? There is more to this problem than practicality. I personally feel a strong attachment to the Gary and would consider it a grave loss. The Gary is part of us and that which we are not ready to give up. Leslie Berryman Second-year Printing Student Vendacard Explained In response to Jeffrey S. Weik's letter con ceming Vendacard, I want to reply. Many issues are raised here, and I would like to address them individually. Unwanted Multiple Gopies: This is not a Vendacard problem. I B M 2, a work horse, heavy duty copier, has a counter dial to select the number of copies requested. In the past several weeks, I have had to order six new dials (average life span about three days) because users have broken them with misuse (turning the dials while copies are being made, forcing the dial to turn when it is set on a previously selected number and hasn't completed the requested amount . . . ) . This is a relatively new problem that hasn't plagued us before. We are working on a way to disarm the multiple copy feature on this typ>e of machine since the money spent on new dials is getting out of hand. The servicemen cannot do anything anymore to help us other than repeatedly replacing dials. Gopier Down Time: This is my favorite subject because I can't agree more. Gopiers do break down a lot. Sometimes it's a small problem that I can fix; sometimes it's a big problem that requires service calls and parts to be ordered. However, frustrated users should consider that these machines are constantlv used from 7:30 a.m. until 11:00 p.m., every day, all week, all year. They have thousands of pieople operating them. Some people are gentle and treat them gently, but many are not and abuse them constantly. I have no real complaint with our servicemen. They respond within 24 hours, usually much less. But with five different copiers that each have hundreds of parts, anything can malfunction at anytime. Like your car, you can't really predict what or when something will go wrong—you just try to get it fixed as fast as possible. Getting New Gopiers: Yes, good idea. We are getting two new copiers, but they won't arrive until summer. The Vendacard: It is better than using coins, and it is more reliable than auditrons and that's why we bought it. But it's just another machine, and along with it comes different sets of problems: breakdowns due to intentional tampering, jamming in more than one card at a time, and banging on the eject buttons until thev break. These units have to be sent out for repair. We can't fix them here. It's a pain for you. and a bigger pain for us. Gopiers are great when they work and a headache when thev don't work. There are no best copiers or unbreakable copiers. We do over a million copies a year in the library and the money goes back into supplies, parts, and purchase of new machines. But nothing ever works in the trenches the same marvelous way it works on the showroom floor especially not copy machines. There are no excuses for the problems, but there are many, many reasons—these are just a few. I cannot make any guarantees that the machines will all be working just right the next time vou come in. You can be verv sure that the problem is being dealt with as soon as it's discovered, and will be fixed as soon as possible. Thanks for the oppiortunity to tell the facts from the other side of the copy machine. Chandra McKenzie Assistant Director for Circulation Services Wallace Memorial Library A Dedicated Staff Last week, I learned a new meaning to the word "dedication." It describes the staff members of REPORTER Magazine perfect ly. Tuesday night, staff members prtiduced the majority of the annual 16 page DISTORTER in addition to the regular weekly issue. Four members worked continuously from 6 p.m. Tuesday evening until 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. A few worked from 6 p.m. until 8 a.m., when they departed to attend classes, and at least a half dozen others worked extended hours. Most people tend to make mistakes after working for such a long period of time. They also become weary and moody. These f)coplc exhibited an incredible amount of teamwork and they felt a sense of accomplishment. Too bad they are not paid at an hourly rate because they deserve it. Now that's dedication] Tracie Johnson Fourth-year Business Administration Student DISTORTER will be distributed on day, May 14. Tues5 REPORTAGE Poetry Conference Held On April 25 and 26, the conference, "Poetry of Place," was held at R I T in Webb Auditorium. Organized by the Caroline Werner Gannett Visiting Pro fessor, Joel Oppenheimer, the program in eluded a panel discussion, workshops, readings by nationally known and local poets, and time for informal exchanges among the conference participants. The conference began with the panel discussion, "The Roots of Poetrv of Place." The discussion centered around three top poets of this century —William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and Charles Olson—and how influencial they were in bringing about a change in the style of poetry. Thursday night, entertainment was provided by writer and author Daphne Marlatt and reknowned poet David Ignatow. Workshops were presented Friday morning, giving students a chance to meet with poets on a more f)ersonal basis. This was followed by readings from local poets, including Larry Ghampoux, Jim Cohn, Finvola Drury, Bobby Johnson, Peter Lander, and Streela Ray. The conference concluded Friday even ing with readings given by Diane Di Prima and David Budhill. Fach showed their own personal idea of poetry of place through their selected pieces. Budhill brought at mosphere to the auditorium as he read col loquial characterizations of Vermont in the early 60s. D i P r i m a , through her lighthearted quality, brought a feeling of personal warmth through her work. Oppenheimer concluded, "The reason for this conference was to bring people together and see what would happen. I think it has been a success." Q Graduation Next Week Personalization, pictures, and parents are three key words to describe RIT's 100th commencement on Saturday, May 18. Fntitled "Beginnings," the commencement will feature six separate ceremonies where the area's largest graduating class of 3,349 students will receive degrees. R I T President M . Richard Rose said, " I t is imjxjrtant for RIT's graduates to leave the Institute on a personal note with an individual diploma presentation and personal congratulations from their dean. It becomes an event that the student and parent will cherish." In addition, as each student receives his or her diploma, a color photograph is taken and later presented to the student's family. Rose also pointed out that graduation is, in a sense, "report card" time for the In- Over 75,000 blocks and graphic materials were available to Bryan Quible during the Lego Workshop which was one of the events at the Scandanavian inter-college conference. stitute. "Employers look to R I T for quality graduates. It is the success of those alumni that is the measurement of the Institute's success. In short, when our students succeed, we have succeeded." Four ceremonies will occur in the mom ing and two in the afternoon. Rose will speak at each ceremony, and there will be no special commencement speaker. RIT's graduation ceremonies are coupled with a festive celebration which pervades the en tire campus. The grounds will be decorated with banners and flags, and music will echo from every comer as musical groups will perform in a number of locations. From 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m., colleges will host tours of their facilities and receptions. Graduation times are: College of Business, 8:30 a.m. in the Frank Ritter Memorial Arena; College of Engineering and College of Liberal Arts, 8:30 a.m. in the George H . Clark Memorial Gym nasium; College of Applied Science and Technology, 11:30 a.m. in the Frank Ritter Memorial Arena; College of Fine and Applied Arts and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, 11:30 a.m in the George H .

Rochester industrialist Henrv Ixunh served as the first president of Mechanics Institute, founded in 1885, to meet the need for trained technicians created by the post Civil War industrial boom. Q May 10. 1985 Eisenhart Honored The Nathaniel Rochester Society of R I T honored Richard H . Eisenhart with the Nathaniel Rochester Society Award on Fri day, April 26. The award was presented during a reception in the George H . Glark Memorial Gymnasium, and is presented annually to organizations or individuals who contribute to the advancement of R I T or N T I D in an outstanding or significant way. It is the society's highest honor. This year, the award was given in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Mechanics Institute, said Jack Smith, associate vice-president for Communications. Eisenhart is currently the chairman emeritus for the Board of Trustees. He served as chairman from 1976 until 1981. Mr. and Mrs. Burton August, chairmen of the society, described Eisenhart as a "dedicated champion and long-time close friend of R I T , who has given generously of his time to affect the growth and development of the Institute. These piersonal in- Center Progresses The old bookstore space is rapidly develop ing into a student center and will have its grand opening in the fall. Angela Strode, chairman at Student Directorate (SD), described the floor plan, which was designed by Lilian Kwan, a third-year interior design student. on the first floor. Also, much space will be available for students to display artwork. A large p>ortion of the first floor will consist of a student lounge. A T V monitor will be installed, enabling students to watch for shuttle buses. The northwest comer will be a typing room with 10 typewriters and two word processors. Near the stairs will be a change, and a stamp machine, and some copiers. Special Services and the Off Gampus Student Association will have offices Group Takes Field Trip Six N T I D photography students and Omobowale Ayorinde, professor of applied photo/media production, recently traveled to Ottawa, Ganada, for a photo educational field trip. On the first day, students visited the Na tional Public Archives, the Museum of Gontemporary Photography, and the Ganadian Government Photo Lab. " O u r con tacts at both places were more than generous and really rolled out the red carpet to students," said Ayorinde. In the evening, the group slept in a 122 year old jail turned into a hotel called the "Youth Hostel." David Pierce, a member of the group. itiativcs have significantly enhanced rela tionships between R I T and industry, and Fisenhart's committment to the Institute is an example of the power of volunteerism." Eisenhart recommended renovations for the Gitv Genter and participated in plan ning for the creation of the School of Ap plied and Industrial studies. He was in strumental in creating the R I T Research GorfKjration, established in September, 1980. RIT's greatest academic growth came during his term as board chairman. R I T President M . Richard Rose presented the award and said, "Fisenhart's dedication and vision demonstrated how great a dif ference a person can make in the life of an institution. He has given unselfishly to af feet the growth and development of R I T . " .Approximately 450 people attended the reception, which was sponsored by Bausch and Lomb. Many students were involved, said Smith, who said they set up the gym, took coats, served the meal, and acted as chauffeurs. • Party At Spring J a m RI T's annual Spring Jam will be held at the Racquet Glub party house on Saturday, May 11, from noon to 6 p.m. It is sponsored by the Off Gampus Student Association and Student Directorate (SD). Two bands. Swing Set and Backstreet, will be performing, .said Jim Mvers, past chairman of SD. The jam will be unique because it is the first official outdoor event at Racquet Glub where alcohol will be .served. Although the area will be hard to secure, it can be controlled, and no alcoholic beverages will leave the premises. Myers said the money raised from selling fixid and drinks will be donated to renovate the old Ixxikstore space. D Math Contest Offered The second floor will house an informal lounge, study carols at the top of the stairs, a T V lounge with a wide-screen television, three meeting rooms, and the SD offices. Fight clubs, who currently do not have offices, will be allotted space. The center will be open until 1 1 p.m. Students have been cleaning the center since early in the year. Strode said the In stitute allocated a 60 thousand dollar budget for its renovation. Brand new furniture for the lower level will be delivered later this month, and carpeting will be in stalled soon. Most of the work will be com pleted during the summer. Strode and other student leaders showed the floor plan to R I T President M . Richard Rose on Monday. " H e was amazed at how detailed the plan was and how so many things fit into the space," Strode said. C^l The Research and Education .Association (RFA) academic book publishers, are sponsoring an academic achievement contest for all students in Galculus I during spring quarter at R I T . One hundred dollars is the first prize, 75 dollars is second prize, and 50 dollars is third prize, according to Garl Fuchs, manager of of>erations at RFA. A l l students taking Galculus I are automatically eligible. Selections of students for the prizes will be made by the department chairman in consultation with faculty members and will be based on exams, class participation, homework, and other factors deemed important bv instructors. The prizes are being sponsored by RFA to acquaint students with the Galculus Problem Solver, a comprehensive study aid book designed to help students gain a better understanding of calculus material while readily finding solutions to problems. RFA believes the challenge of the contest will encourage students to perform better on homework and exams in calculus. R F A publishes Problem Solvers in 35 fields of subjects. • said during the second day, they toured the National Film Board of Ganada. "The tour was more than we expected," said Pierce. "We viewed a 14 projector, multi image slide show on the Himalayas which includ ed some special effect panoramas of the mountains that were simply breathtaking." The slide show was coordinated by a rare computer by 3 M , capable of painting on canvas or other materials using a scanning method and a Marron Garrel in production. After, the students visited the Ganadian Government Photo Laboratory, which "was immense," said Pierce. Ayorinde said the grand finale was a party held at the Genter for the Hearing Impaired, where the students met both French Ganadian and Fnglish-Ganadian deaf people. The group was interested in learning the unique French sign language and participated in walk-on skits on the club platform. The students acquired many shots of the sights in Ottawa, including the Parliament Building, Ottawa Locks, and a movie crew filming a French film. "The trip was a very enjoyable and unforgettable experience as the students learned a great deal about photographic opportunities available in the beautiful city," commented Pierce. Ayorinde said, " I feel this was an allaround learning experience for both students and myself. The students learned through illustration the importance of taking care of one's equipment while traveling, as well as the benefits of working as a team. • 7 Cuomo And Tutu Lauded Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Desmond Tutu and New York State Governor Mario Guomo will receive two of the four honorary degrees to be presented at this year's commencement ceremonies at the University of Rochester. Tutu, the Anglican bishop whose leadership in a peaceful struggle against apartheid and whose work for better condi tions for blacks in South Africa, was recognized with the 1984 Peace Prize. Baja Team Competes The Mini Baja club will be competing against 47 other engineering schools in Montreal, Ganada, on .May 10 and 11. The team consists of 18 members who devote all of their free time to design and produce the vehicle. Vehicle design revolves around the use of an eight horsepower Briggs and Stratton engine, which is standard for all participants and cannot be modified. John Sirianni, mechanical engineering major and captain of the team, said this year's model is made of polyethylfoam and is covered with nylon and apoxy. It has an aluminum framework, weighs 375 (wunds, and has Tutu will give a brief acceptance response at the 135th commencement, which will begin at 9:30 a.m., Sunday, May 12, in the Eastman Theatre. Guomo will deliver the graduation degree address and will be awarded an honorary doctor of law degree. The degree will acknowledge Guomo's service to New York state, especially his abilities as a negotiator and skill at crisis solving. An honorary doctor of music degree will be presented to Ghuck Mangione, the award-winning composer and recording ar list, who is an alumnus of the Eastman School of Music. Anthropologist Elizabeth Golson will receive the doctor of science degree. Golson, professor emeritus at the University of Galifornia at Berkeley, has won international acclaim for her studies of social organization in East Gentral Africa during changes from colonial status to in dependence. Approximately 1,060 students will receive bachelor's degrees from the University of Rochester; more than 1,100 are to be awarded master and doctoral degrees. D been timed at 32 miles f>er hour. "VVe are very optimistic about the com petition," said Sirianni. "This year's car has many improvements over last year's." The improvements include front suspien sion and no rear suspension, a differential made from a Torsen gear seat, an aluminum design instead of a steel design, and a simplicity lightweight design. "Weight is the most imjxjrtant objective," said Mike Thurston, a mechanical engineering major and honorary captain. "This year's car weighs 225 jxiunds less than last year's." Gompetition entails seven different judging events. They include top speed/ac celeration, braking, hill climbing, land maneuverability, top speed around the track, and an endurance race. Last year, the team finished seventienth because of many component break downs. Requirements include a four-|X)int roll cage, three wheels, a harness for drivers, and a production cost of under 1,500 dollars. The Mini Baja is allowed anywhere on campus, as long as drivers do not endanger pedestrians or uproot grass. The Mini Baja club is an extra curricular activity. " W e are here for the expierience of working with other engineers," commented Sirianni. Thurston agreed and added, "There wouldn't be much of a team i f it was for a required course." This is the fifth year of the club, and anyone is welcome to join.

In fact, a good many people are still under the impression that the " R " on their jerseys stands for Rensselaer (as in RPI). Things are changing, though, and after a very strong showing at Cornell (third out of 24 teams), R I T is starting to get some respect in intercollegiate cycling. Enough resf>ect that when they went to the East Coast Collegiate Championships, hosted by Stonybrook on April 28, a few pteople asked us, "You're from Rochester, right?" A definate forward leap. Thev went to championships with the intention of getting some experience and recognition. As one of the newer members in the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Federation (ECCF), they felt that a top ten finish would be something to be a little proud of. Of the forty five schools entered in the race, there were only three, Stonybrook, Cornell, and University of New Hampshire (UNH), that had R I T outclassed. These schools have always been at the top of the stand ings. But right below them were about twenty more schools that all had a shot of a top ten finish. T o be one of them, the R I T team would have to pull together. A week before championships came the bad news that one of the " A " team riders, Scott Hollenbeck, had been hospitalized with a virus. This left R I T with only two riders in the A race. Since the top three riders for each school count, this would be a serious handicap. Our " B " team looked pretty good. R I T entered six riders in the " B " race hoping to get at least three of them in the top fifty. They only had one woman rider, but this is not an uncommon problem among the comptetitors. The course did not have any real hills in it; just a bunch of small rolls. Because of this, it was impossible to tell when an attack might come. Breakaways were being attempted at all points around the course. On the tenth lap. Lance Johnson joined a group of four others that was off the front of the pack for about a mile. On the next lap, Eric Buckly reacted to a U N H attack and sf)ent the next two miles in a two man break. But the field was moving too quickly to allow any prolonged breaks. In the final standings, l ^ N H narrowly defeated Stonybrook for first place. Princeton nabbed third from Cornell by an equally slim margin. R I T was ninth, clos ing its most successful cycling season thus far on a successful note. 13 ESPECIALLY FOR MOM!

The RlTes of Spring began on Friday with bands, fireworks, a weird artist, outdoor movies and a comedian who was treated like an administrator by the rowdy crowd. What a day Friday was, everyone was there, administrators included. R I T felt like a real campus, with real student involv ment and participation. Missing were the stereotypical apathetic students. It was refreshing to socialize outside, and not at Greek, floor, or apartment parties. As the day progressed, the events attracted more and more RITites. Thousands of dollars in pottery and crafts were sold in the College-Alumni Union. Hundreds of people made an ap pearance at the happy hour and the numbers swelled to thousands, yes thousands for Denny Dent, Robert Klein, the fireworks, and a quad blast. Denny Dent is a unique character. backstage he chugged booze with a blond groupv, while on stage his manager, obviously lit on something besides beer, raffled a Dent original to be won by a youngster certainly not old enough to ap preciate the art. His paintings came "from the heart." Unquestionably there was no other place a painting created with the drama and sound of loud Springsteen, Hendrix, and Jagger could come from. Robert Klein was not well received. He was unwilling to pierform in front of a drunken college crowd. Perhaps i f he had arrived on time things would have been dif ferent. He challenged one particularly rude future Resident Advisor and had him forci bly removed. The inspiration and spontaneity so necessary in a stand up comedy act were missing. Although this should have been the most popular event of the weekend it turned out to be the one sour note. Particularly distasteful was Klein's in sistence that the audience sit. Sitting on beer soaked asphalt certainly did not help the disf>osition of the crowd. Perhaps most impressive were the fireworks. Standing near the Hettie L . Shumwav Dining Commons one could hear a bonafide cheer from the thousands who were seated on the quarter mile slope as the finale blew up above their heads. Area residents must have been pleasantly surprised by the uncharacteristic R I T spirit so visible in the pyrotechnics. A carnival-like party in the Kate Gleason quad on Saturday made for more partying under some surprisingly sunny Rochester skies. Baloons strung on wires between buildings added touches of color to the everpresent red bricks. The good weather, music, and company was a refreshing break from the rigors of the end of the quarter blues. Hats off to the students who worked so hard and who pulled off the unforgetful weekend. Especially the members of the College Activities Board who hopefully are planning a similar event to welcome all of us back in the fall. • 19 Klein: Trankly^ Disgusted' An Unfortunate Performance From A Good Comedian. / did not knfnv whether to walk off^ I waited a while.

I k n e w f r o m m y experience that this was a bad Idea w h e n i heard a b o u t It, outdoors, no admission, those things psychologically a r e bad. Y O U are better off charging 50 cents, b u t y o u c a n t outdoors, it was a big blast, it was n o t appropriate to w h a t i do. R: The RIT students do n o t g e t this kind of thing very often. Not m u c h goes o n o n campus. K L B N : NO, I understand It Is a terribly long w i n t e r a n d all t h e rest, but I k n e w It was a bad Idea, i a m just saying that i t u r n e d d o w n s o m e t h i n g for twice t h e m o n e y In Florida s p o n s o r e d by Coca-Cola. This w a s closer a n d m o r e convenient f o r m y schedule. I knew It would be chaos In Ft. Lauderdale. Fifteen thousand In an outdoor s p o t all completely drunk. This was a miniature one. I t h o u g h t m a y b e It would be better controlled. Then, w h e n i started, I k n e w t h e r e was going to be a problem. They w e r e very enthusiastic w h e n i c a m e out, b u t t h e n they didn't quiet d o w n . R: What Is your philosophy o n c o m e d y ? What makes people laugh? K L E I N : I don't know. I don't think there Is any o n e thing that people would laugh at. AS a stand-up comedian, i use every arsenal I can. The main o n e Is, of course, m y voice, a n d material, but I use m y body a n d i use up t h e stage, in m y work i try to reach a certain c r e s c e n d o a n d quietly lay a punch line or s o m e t h i n g o n t h e m , a n d they scream. Here you couldn't d o m u c h sublety. I was just trving to s h o u t above t h e c r o w d . The din w a s Incredible, it never, ever quieted d o w n a n d I k n e w It too. Approaching, seeing t h e beer truck and all that, people going back a n d forth, carnival a t m o s p h e r e , w h e n y o u have people o n t h e fringes It Is n o t conducive. R: Did y o u enjoy yourself a t all tonight? K L B N : Not really, it was t o o hard, it was t h e m o s t unusual thing, in fact, t h e r e was a crackling of laughter In all t h e right places. It was unusual because In this din of loud talking a n d yelling out, a loud constant noise, t h e r e was an Incredible response of laughter, in o t h e r words, t h e audience that w a s listening a n d paying attention was as g o o d as any audience, a really g o o d one. I r e m e m b e r years ago i w a s opening for a band or s o m e t h i n g at t h e university of Cincinnati. I w a s performing In t h e basketball stadium. There was a loud din always a n d t h e r e was a lot of drinking and ruckus. I w a s a last minute replacement. A n d then, everything was diminished In half, N O o n e really r e s p o n d e d well to t h e material. Here, t h e y w e r e responding beautifully, but against It was this backdrop of constant noise. I'm n o t a prude, a n d I'm n o t a teetotaler, but It sort of makes y o u a little disgusted w h e n people are t o o out of control a n d stuff, i really wasn't as m a d as y o u think I was. I saw that I could do something. I didn't w a n t to c o m e up to Rochester a n d stand t h e r e for five minutes a n d spilt. They w e r e all like prisoners let loose In t h e yard. I k n o w that feeling. Audiences really do cut loose at m y shows, it Is a great experience making people laugh, t h e y love It. I o n c e did t w o hours and forty-five minutes at t h e University of North Carolina. They loved It a n d I kept going, but this kind of cutting loose Is simply Inappropriate to w h a t I do. I broke a lot of m y o w n rules: outdoors, spring w e e k e n d , long w i n t e r In Rochester, no admission, i had a m a d feeling d e e p Inside. I'm serious. I don't think I can r e m e m b e r anything quite as disorderly.

But, the year is almost through and you are at the final stretch. What is a go(xl, legal remedy for academic stress? .Mthough not highly recom mended by the surgeon general, video Valium is a common cure. Other synonymous nomenclature are the boob tube, the electronic fireplace, and the T V set. This luminous cube is a contempirary fantasy island. Controversy is washing up on its shores. Especially the possible link between violence on television and violence in reality. Reality is when a punch in the face creates black and blue smears, a knife slicing through flesh really hurts, and a bullet discharged from a gun can cause death. Presently, the controversy is in a stalemate. Violence, in varying degrees, will remain in television. The reason: violence is a highly dramatic element and arouses the viewer. It is time to take out our psychoanalytical micro.scopes and focus on the events that occur between All My Children, Knighlrtder, and Dynasty— commercials. Commercials are moments to acquire food to digest, to visit the all important lavatory, and to he lawfully brainwashed by cars, make up, and c lothes. There is no doubt that television technology has made commercials an incredible audio visual ex|)erience. Technology is the fact. The dramatization of truth is the fallacy. .\lTAmerican hubby enters the all American home, greets his all American family, and eats an ailAmerican dish. Super hunk gets super hunkess thanks to the chemical cologne he is wearing, twins are hav ing a ball chewing gum, college kids surf and drink carbonated, orange aphrodisiacs, teens rush to a fast food restaurant to have hamburgers and happiness, and an animated tiger shows how sugar-coated life can IKhad bv eating sugar coated cereal. That is the truth on ' T \ ' , but not the reality. Eife is so idealized on the screen. In the Book, according to TV, chapter 10, verse 10, purchasing plastic material will bring one ah solute, unadulterated happiness. Hav ing the right kind of c ar, the right kind of clothes, and eating the right kind of food is supposed to build status and respect. The success syndrome is so potently portrayed on T\'. TV com mericals do not recognize failures and those who come in second. Youth is heavily illustrated. A par ticular cream will make a woman younger, toothpaste will make your teeth whiter, and playing face invaders with benzyl peroxide will eliminate unwanted facial marks. To be voung means to look young in the world of commercials. Character and ethics cannot he shown through special ef fects. So. thev are rarelv emphasized. The old are still stereotyped. The very few commercials that contain them show that they are satisfied with everything. In reality, the old are heavily neglected and rarelv placed on a [)edestal of admiration. Many are discarded in institutions. 'Their valuable accumulation of experience and wisdom is gently but mercilessly tucked away. Minorites are minorites in commercials. One comedian said that there are more dogs and cats in commercials than blacks. And, finally, the alTAmerican family. Dad, mom, sister, and brother have this eternal smile. There are no cjuarrels, divorces, or fighting. In reality, the most reported violence is among family members. The primary intention of the commercials is to attract and entice the viewer to purchase their products or services. It is an economic purpose. In the background of the sales pitch is a false, idealized conception of life. Having a sportscar, (iucci garb, stark blue bluejeans, sparkling diamonds, multi pie earrings on one solitare lolx", phosphorous sneakers, slick haircuts, radiant lipsticks, polarized shades, and the ultimate stereo system does not always provide happiness, win friends, or maintain strong family ties. Per sonalitv, spirit, morals, and sincerity do not have to be lx)ught thev merely have to fx* expressed and Ixdieved in. — F R A N C I S Ai.iyy AI.AS Blood Simple—Clever H a s t i n e s s If vou are the tvjx" of person who likes the grisly, murder storv thrillers with a little malicious comedy thrown in, then this is the film you have been waiting for. Blood Simple is unlike the predict able throat slashing, gut stabbing hor ror movies that leave you with a nor mal pulse rate. Instead, this film takes hold of your senses and leaves you with the feeling that you are the victim of a gruesome murder. The violence in Blood Simple is designed to force the audience to actually feel the murder. Obviously, this film is definitely not for the squeamish. The film is .set in a small town in Texas where bar owner Julian Marty (Dan Hadaya) suspects his wife .Abby (Frances McDormand) of sleeping with Ray (John Getz), who happens to be a bartender at Marty's place. So, Marty hires a sleazy private detective. named \ isser (.\I. Emmett Walsh), to knock them off. 'This is the point where the double cross begins, for the detective has other ideas. This fiend ishly complex plot gets even better as it moves along. *Only the audience knows who is killing who and why.* But there is a sort of dark humor about the whole thing, twisting scenes of intense emotions into uncon trollable laughter. Only the audience knows who is killing who and why, while the characters remain in the dark. Walsh is terrific in the role of the slimy detective. He adds a new meaning to the word " v i l l a i n " because he is sleazy, obscene, and tacky. Hadaya, as Marty, is no better than the rotten detective. He is just as slimv and mean. Directer Joel Coen presents an in teresting visual style to the film. It is the camera, whether it follows the characters through a party or passes smoothly down a bar counter and over a passed o u t customer, which actually participates in the action. Crx'n and his producer brother Ethan co wrote the script. They have an amazing flair for taking apart and piecing together the ^ standard murder mystery and transforming it to a modern thriller. Blood .Simple is just full of clever nastiness that will leave you gasping for air. It is no less than the most cap tivating original thriller this vear and well worth seeing. — K R I S A R G E N T O Blood Simple is now playing at the Little Theater on East Avenue. 23 RECON RANGERS WRITTEN A N D BY MARK PHOTOGRAPHED SASAHARA M any people have misconceptions of what the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTO) is all about. The Army's ROTO program is designed to train and prepare an individual to accept a commission in the Army while he earns a bachelor's degree. This entails, among other things, leadership, first aid, and weapons training. To test their abilities and also to have some fun, field training exercises are held. The senior cadets, the MS-4s, run the 78 member company and are responsible for the planning and execution of such training operations. During this trip, however, the MS-4s let the MS-3s take command to give them an idea of what they will have to do next year. Within the company are the ranger platoons. The rangers are "highly motivated cadets who desire to receive additional training" in such areas as survival skills or weapons training. O n c e they graduate, they have the option to join a Ranger batallion or join the regular Army. In the past, there have been repeling exercises, winter survival training exercises, and cross country skiing. For the first time, the cadets had a combined airborne and waterborne exercise. On May 4 and 5, they had an opportunity to fly in choppers and then canoe down the Genesee. The first day was spent canoeing to a predetermined place, setting up a camp, and staying overnight. The training weekend for the ROTC cadets was not just a lOb.. it was an adventure. 25 The next day, they moved out and continued down the mighty Genesee to RIT. After setting up a camp about one-half rr le from the rest of the company, the rangers went about securing the area and switched into a tactical mode, which means doing things without being seen. A night assault on the rest of the company had been planned. The MS-3 platoon leader got his squad leaders together and began the careful planning of the night's operations. They would arrive at the company camp, steal a canoe, and return to camp. A group member went on a reconnaissance mission with the platoon leader, in which they proceeded tactically through the woods to the river, within 50 yards of the company camp. They slept in a ditch for 45 minutes while waiting to make the strike on the camp. When they did attack, they just waltzed in, but the people who were "dead" did not stay dead and continued to harrass the attacking rangers. Despite this, the operation was a success, but the rangers did not go for the Sargeant Hughes option. They then retired for some needed sleep. At 06:00 hours the cadets awoke and got ready to strike camp. They met up with the rest of the company for the canoe trip back to RIT. They were waterborne by about 07:30, and reached Ballantine bridge by 11:30. The Rangers took a five minute rest and then marched back to RIT from the landing area near the Castle Inn. The cadets felt the trip was challenging and a worthwhile experience. They look forward to future outdoor events. By land, by sea, or by air, training excercises are designed to sharpen leadership, first aid, and weapon handling techniques. 26 May 1 0 . 1 9 8 5 SCOREBOARD S o f t b a l l W i n s 3; Loses 1 The R I T women's softball team wound up their season last week. As thev swept a doubleheader against Elmira and split a doubleheader with Hamilton. In the first game against Elmira, R I T capitalized on the 18 walks thrown to them. K i m Eisenried, Chris D'Onofrio, Becky Martin, and Sandy Redder all had RBIs. Becky Martin was on the mound for the Tigers and gained the win. She walked only four batters and gave up two earned runs. The final score was 10-3 in favor of RIT. The second game proved that the Tigers have the ability to produce runs when given the chance. Everyone at hat had at least one hit. Eight players drove in runs with Red der leading with four. Lynee Hessinger had three RBIs. Deanna Semple went all the way for the win, allowing two earned runs. The final score was 21 10. R I T continued their streak against Hamilton in the first of two. They heat Hamilton 13 2. Redder had three hits, in eluding a triple that scored a run. Unfortunately, the Tigers could not finish the season off with a win. They lost the second game 5 3. That put their record to 10 1 1 1 . R I T was rated twelfth, but only the first eight teams were picked for post season play. Overall, coach Janet Assenheimer has to he happy about the teams play and revived spirit. R I T has a strong returning base for next year, so hopefully they can achieve some of coach Assenheimer's goals, which include a .500 record and a spot in the playoffs. — JAMES KiERNAN Chuck Cincebox (it17) rejoices in an 8 7 victory over Cortland.

Ithaca College won the event with 201 points, followed bv Alfred University (112), R I T (104), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (102), and Hobart College (16).
