Compeer on campus
By Kym Korn
News Editor
Compeer is a nonprofit
organization which matches
trained community volunteers in
friendship relationships with children and adults who are receiving mental health treatment.
Webster's dictionary defines
Compeer as equal, companion,
match, peer. Compeer volunteers provide friendship, social
support, advocacy, positive role
models, and opportunities for
educational and recreational activities to clients referred to the
program by mental health professionals. Compeer students
spend time with their friend for
one hour a week, for one semester. Relationships may continue
beyond one semester with mutual consent.
There are many benefits
ence in human service field, this opportunity provides excellent references for
future employment, helping others bring
personal satisfaction, and the most im-
portant reason it's fun.
The Compeer staff provides community and professional education about Compeer,
recruits volunteers and referrals,
engages in public relations activities, organizes training, provides continuing support for volunteer/client relationships and
seeks funding for special projects.
The Rochester program receives
grants from various sources and
presently is funded by the United
Way of Greater Rochester, the
Monroe County Department of
Mental Health and the New York
State Office of Mental Health.
Joan Nobiling, Consumer
Development Coordinator, has
been working for Compeer for
almost four years. She is also
been a Compeer volunteer for
two years. Jason Whalley, a student at MCC is a Compeer volunAbove:(L-R) Volunteer Debbie DeMaria, Development Coordinator Joan Nobiling,

Kristallnacht commemoration to shed new light on Bosnia
by Jeff Wager
Editor-in-Chief
On Wednesday, November 8th, there will be two separate
programs
commemorating
Kristallnacht, a key event during
the Holocaust. There will be a
college hour program, held in
room 5-300, which will be a panel
discussion involving people who
have experienced the turmoil in
Bosnia. Then, at 7:30 in the MCC
Theatre, guest speaker Dr. Valere
Philip Gagnon, Jr. will draw comparisons between the "ethnic
cleansing" in Bosnia and the Holocaust.
Dr. Gagnon is the director
of the Peace Studies Program at
Cornell University. He has traveled extensively through Bosnia,
Croatia, and Serbia, and is fluent
in a number of languages.
Conducting in part the day
program will be Mehmed
Mahmutovic, an MCC student
who hails from Prnjavor, a town
in northern Bosnia. Mehmed
hopes that this program will shed
new light on the genocide in
Bosnia and will possibly be a call
to action for Americans.
"The purpose of this will be
to draw parallels between the second World War Holocaust and the
genocide in Bosnia," said
Mahmutovic. "The procedure and
technique is exactly the same as was
used by the Nazis in the second
World War—forced labor, concentration camps, killing, and torturing."
However, the situation in
Bosnia is more complex, according
to Mehmed. "There is one more
additional element," he said. "They
destroy not just mosques and Muslims' traditional objects, but also
cemeteries, graveyards, and anything that reminds [one] of Bosnian
culture."
"The final solution of 'ethnic cleansing' is just a way of western countries to call what is basically 'genocide',"headded. "Iguess
this is the reason why they do nothing to stop it. This is a way that they
don't have to say 'genocide', they
can just say "ethnic cleansing'."
Mehmed believes that the
United States and the United Nations
are obligated, both morally and contractually, to help Bosnia—yet they
intentionally turn their backs. "This
was another failure for the United Nations and the international community.
That was the reason why they did it."
He also attributes the shelling Bosnia
has taken to the arms embargo imposed on Bosnia.
Mehmed feels that the U.S. has
a moral obligation to help Bosnia.
However, only time will tell how
U.S. policies change towards
Bosnia.

Compeer on campus (continued from pg.l)
they spoke to the Monroe
Doctrine about their volunteer time with Compeer and
the enjoyment they both receive by making a difference
in someone's life.
When asked why students should volunteer, Jason said," People need to realize that people with mental
illness are not crazy. The
friend that I have is a lot like
me. He is interested in music, and we do have fun. Just
by having a little fun with
them, you are making a big
difference in someone's life.
And the fact that you are doing that much for him, it really makes you feel good."
Ms. Nobiling spoke
next on the same question.
She said, "I think it's real
important that people understand that they are going to
get as much as they give."
Jason got involved
with Compeer through the
newspaper. He read it and
thought that it might be interesting. He called up, received
some information about the
program, and thought,"this
is what I want to do." Jason
has been involved with Compeer since May.
There has been some
talk about receiving credit for
working with Compeer. Club
members could get community service hours for volunteering. Compeer is really
looking for people to volunteer their time so they will do
everything they can to encourage people to sign up and
donate their time.
Some people like to
volunteer because it relieves
stress, but as Jason said, "With
Compeer, it is not stressful at
all." With Compeer you
can figure out your own
schedule; it is not set in stone.
Whenever you have freetime, you can get together.
Ms.
Nobiling
said,"We want that certain
flexibility. We want everyone one this campus to walk
down the hall and feel that
they do have someone on this
campus that is their friend
and cares about them." Everybody could use a friend.
Ms. Nobiling continued by
saying, "MCC is a confusing
and lonely place here in spite
of all the crowds and noise."
So exactly how do
they pick the people that you
will match up with?
First,they need to be referred
to by a mental health professional. There is a referral
form that is sent to Compeer
or here on campus it is sent
by one of the Intensive Psych
Rehab.Program or through
the Counseling Center. Once
they receive the referral form,
the volunteers go out and recruit more volunteers. There
is also a training portion that
every volunteer must go
through. To make sure they
are the right kind of people,
the volunteers must fill out a
formal application, and their
references are checked.
Then they take the interests
that the volunteer has and
the interests of their "friend"
and the times that they are
available and they will share
information about one another. The volunteer and the
"friend" will meet with one
another only after the volunteer talks with the mental
health professional.
The services Ms.
Nobiling hopes to provide
this semester are," What
we'd like to do is to give
students the opportunity to
grow both through serving
and being served at Compeer. I also hope that, since
we are an adjunct to the
Wellness Center, we can

Rochester film fest emphasizes diversity
Page 3
by Jaime Quackenbush
Staff Writer
MONROE
Rochester's Third Annual Lesbian and Gay Film Festival ran from October 20-28.
The festival has built quite an
outstanding reputation in the
past years. There aren't any
comparable events unless you
go to Toronto or New York
City.
The 1995 festival featured almost one hundred presentations, shown at the Little
Theatre and the Dryden Theatre at the George Eastman
House. The organizers of this
notable event spent months going through films in the archives
of the George Eastman House,
searching for a suitable, balanced collection that properly
represents gay culture.
These films range from
one end of the spectrum to the
other as far as artistic interpretation and genre. Some are fulllength movies, such as "Jeffrey", a film based on Paul
Rudnick's play of the same
name. It stars "Star Trek, the
Next Generation"'s Patrick
Stewart, and tells a tale of
romance with the threat of
AIDS. "Jeffrey" was shown
during the festival and will
also run at the Little Theatre. Other features are foreign, silent movies or short
independent films, while
still others are documentaries. One such presentation
is filmaker Marlon Riggs'
final project "Black Is...
Black Ain't". It is a personal account of Riggs' life
as a black gay man in
America.
Because of
Riggs' tragic death of AIDS
during production, his film
was completed for him. This
emotional and significant
piece was shown as the
festival's closing event, followed by a reception at the
George Eastman House.
A film forum also
took place here at MCC on
October 27. The program,
called "Where in the
World Do We Find These
Films? An Inqueery in
Lesbian and Gay Film",
was a panel discussion of
modern gay films.
The producers of
the film festival got input
from last year's audiences
and used their suggestions
toward some changes; for
instance, more racy, erotic
films were included in this
year's compilation. But
the audience was informed
about what to expect, and
warned that some of the
films may have been offensive to some viewers.
The overall goal was to
give people of the gay
community an opportunity
to see entertainment that
represents their lives, instead of being surrounded
by pictures of heterosexuality. But the festival was
not restricted to gays.

Susan Soleil, the coproducer of the festival, told
City newspaper she believes
Americans should know more
aboutgay people's lives. The
Film Festival represents
truths and honesty about various aspects of gay life and

Living In Oblivion
by Jeana LaDelia
Staff writer
As a lover of independent and low budget movies, I had the opportunity of
seeing the latest film from the
very talented and upcoming
new director, Tom Dicillo.
His latest creation, "Living in
Oblivion," is a hilarious take
on the trials and tribulations
of making a low budget independent film.
Written and directed by
the former actor and cinematographer, Mr. Dicillo's witty
screenplay won him the
Screen Writers Award at the
1195 Sundance Film Festival
this past winter. This is definitely a movie that should be
appreciated by all audiences
as well as those interested in
filmmaking as a career.
The storyline is separated
into
three
segmentswhich come together most creatively. Tom
Dicillo separates the film sequences by using color and
then uses black and white to
achieve the scenes behind the
" camera." It definitely adds
to special effects list without
having to blow up any trains
or indulge in any car wrecks.
Independent films often rely heavily on the cast.
In this movie, Steve Buscemi
(The notorious Mr. Pink from
Reservoir Dogs), Dermot
Mulroney , James Le Gros
and Catherine Keener, who
also appeared in Dicillo's last
film (Johnny Suede) are
absolutley fabulous as part of
the cast and crew trying to
make the film within the film.
One particularly funny part is
the second sequence featuring the pompous lead character Chad, played by James Le
Gros. Everytime Nick, the
director(played by very excellent Steve Buscemi), trys
to film a scene, Chad obnoxiously interrupts. Meanwhile,
Nicole ( Catherine Keener),
the actress playing opposite
Chad, finds it uncomfortable
acting with him because just
the night before they had a
romantic interlude which humorously coincides with trying to complete the scenes.

No secrets
On Tuesday October
24th the Monroe Doctrine
recieved for publication a
letter of opinion discussing
media coverage of the million man march. The letter
is in need of serious revision, and the identity of the
author is unclear. Because
the paper is commited to
aublishing a diversity of
opinions from the college
comunity and of encouraging open and open-minded
discussion, the MD staff
cannot take responsibility for
making revisions of such a
substantial nature that they
could inadvertantly affect
the content and/or tone of a
submission. Neither can the
japer publish opinions
annonymously thereby contributing to the creation of
an atmosphere of fear and
secrecy.
The staff therefore
asks that the author of the
above-mentioned letter contact the MD office at x2540
to arrange to discuss his submission with our faculty
advisior.
We would also like
to invite all students +
employess of MCC to take
the opprotunity to express
their opinions on timely issues on our opinion page.
We look forward to
hearing from you.

Beware of Witches
by: Lillie B. Ellison
There are some really
strange things going on here
at the school. Our "administration" allows Devil Worship to be practiced on our
campus, and they don't even
realize how detrimental this
could be to individuals, students as well as faculty. Who
approved of this cult on our
campus as a club? Yes, some
people may consider a cult a
form of a club, but only the
witches that are a part of this
cult would. I understand that
people have their own beliefs and opinions about what
Is 21 too old?
By Chris Murray
I'm sure everyone
remembers when they finally
turned eighteen. They could
vote, go to college, and buy
an adult magazineif they
wanted, and smoke. If you
are male, you have to register with selective service.
While I was registering, I
had a thought.; at eighteen
you can buy adult magazines,
have a say in your country,
and die for your country. But
alas, you are not considered
mature enough to drink?
What is the point of that?
The government feels you
are old enough to die for
them, yet you are not old
enough to drink. Who came
up with twenty-one anyway?
Is there something that happens the night before your
birthday that automatically
makes you mature enough to
drink?
The main reason I
would like to see the drinking age lowered to eighteen
is that it would even things
out. In the eyes of the law
you are considered an adult

should and should not be.
That is why it is my opinion
that a cult of this type should
not be allowed on any college
campus. I know there are
many who agree and disagree,
but I do not agree with this
idea of idol worship and believing that these demonic
spirits are gods. Today may
even be Halloween, and this
is a tradition for some of you,
even though you have a soul
and it needs to be saved. Read
act 2:38. Read Matthew chapter 7. Please refer to the King
James version of the Bible.

at eighteen. It makes no sense.
If you kill someone, you are
tried as an adult. Break the
law, and it is on your record
forever. On the other hand,
you have the people who believe that we will be breeding
a generation of alcoholics. Do
they not realize that if something is forbidden, the desire
for it will increase? At eighteen you are mature enough
to die for this country, or in
their words "give your life
for your country." I'm nineteen, and I do not feel that I
have lived a full life, nor do I
believe that I am even close
to having done so. Why is it
that I am alowed to smoke at
eighteen? I am old enough to
put tobacco products into my
body, knowing full well that
those tobacco products will
cause me more damoge than
alcohol ever will. This is

Opinion
Nap time
by: Michael Willoughby
Opinion Editor
"I fell asleep in class
today, again."
Have you ever fallen
asleep in class? I know that's
a stupid question. Almost
everyone has at one time or
another fallen asleep in class,
or really wanted to. Personally, I have fallen asleep in
class, in the hall and even out
on a picnic table out on the
terrace. I can also tell you
that I wish I had somewhere
better to go when I need to
sleep.
I remember being in
preschool and fondly remember something I wish I had
today, naptime. Along with
naptime came The Nap
Room. The Nap Room, the
place where we could go and
roll out our little rugs and
take a nap.
I want a nap room here
at MCC. That's what I need,
a place where I can go and lay
myself down on a soft surface in a dark and quiet room.
Just a small room, clean, dark
and quiet is all I ask for.

NFL Extra Points
Scott L. Sassone
Sports Editor
Welcome back, football fans! Can you guess
which Florida football team
has won four of their last five
games and are leading their
division? (Hint: it's not the
Miami Dolphins). Yes, that's
right it's my new favorite
team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Meanwhile in Miami,
Florida's other team has lost
three of their last four, after
starting out 4-0. After beating some good teams early in
the season, the Dolphins have
collapsed against the weakest teams in the NFL. The
Colts, Saints, and now the
low flying Jets have all beaten
up the Marino-less Dolphins.
While we are on the
subject of losers; Vinny
Testaverde was benched last
QB Jim Everett threw 4 interceptions. For most of the
game, Carolina's defensive
backs were Everetts' best
recievers.

Soccer teams
on a mission
by David J Sprankle
co-sports editor
The women's soccer
team is on a mission. On
Monday, October 25 the
women completed their regular season by defeating
Cazenovia College 6-0. Scoring for the Lady Tribunes
were Carla Filippetti, Tricia
DiQuartto, Jill Hulbright,
Marnie Blewitt, Karen Sloan,
and Sarah Johnson each with
one goal apiece.
Being ranked #2 in
the Region III women's soccer championship and planning on making a run at the
title, the women got out to a
fast start. Having a bye in the
first round the women didn't
miss a beat defeating Finger
Lakes Community College 40. Contributing to the win for
the Ladies were Carla
Filippetti, with three goals and
an assist, Karen Sloan with
one goal, and Robin Malloy
with an assist. This win improves the womens record to
15-1.
Come out and support
the women as they play in the
Regional Final Four. The
games are #1 ranked Chaplain vs #4 ranked Alfred and
#2 ranked MCC vs #3 ranked
Genesse on Saturday November 4, here at MCC.
The mens soccer team
didn't slow down their winning way either. This past
weekend the Tribunes blew
out Fredonia 9-0. Scoring for
the men were Frank
Mendicino and Tim Cripps
with two goals apiece. Also
contributing to the winning
effort were Tom Makuch, Joe
Marsocci, Pinkstan Omeally,
Steve Schreib, and Jon Pecora
with one goal each.
The men with there
14-4 record are ranked #2 in
the Region III mens soccer
championship tournament.
Good luck to both the Men's
and Women's teams.

Sweet, sweet Justice
Scott L. Sassone
Co-Sports Editor
With one swing of his
bat, Dave Justice brought a
World Title to the Atlanta
Braves and sent Cleveland's
title hopes into the right field
seats.
After initially being
booed by the hometown fans
for a comment he made prior
to the game, Justice finished
as the hero. With his solo
home run late in the game,
Justice knocked in the only
run of the game.
With the way lefty
Tom Glavine
pitched
throughout the game, that was
all the Braves would need.
The Braves have made it to
the Series three of the last
five times it has been played,
and the previous two times
they have come away with
second place.
It took the Braves six
games to capture the first ever
professional title for an Atlanta team. The Braves pitchers shut down the once unstoppable bats of the Cleveland Indians.
The Tribe won 110
games this year, but unfortunately they failed to win when
they needed to.
In the most politically
incorrect series in history the
Braves and Indians battled to
a spectacular finish. The
Braves were thinking of a
possible sweep after winning
the first two games in Atlanta. But the Tribe battled
back winning games three and
five to force a sixth game.
Indians pitcher Orel Hershiser
(8-1 lifetime in post season
play) pitched in perhaps the
Tribe's biggest win of the
series to force one more game.
But this was not the
Indians' year, The new kids
on the block were not about
to take the next two in Fulton
County Stadium-Glavine and
Justice made sure of that.
It had been three long
years since the Braves won
their last N.L. pennant, and
they proved why many people
consider them to be one of
the best teams in baseball.
Atlanta, a team which has
long been known as an offensive powerhouse, finished last
in the N.L. in batting in '95.
The Tribe, on the
other hand, finished tops in
the league in hitting, but as
Bob Costas put it "good pitching usually beats good hitting." That's where the
Braves do their best work.
Despite the less than spectacular performance of Greg
Maddux, who will most likely
win his fourth consecutive Cy
Young award, Glavine, Steve
Avery, and the Braves'
bullpen pitched well when
they needed a big performance.
The Braves' offense
also knocked in runs when
they needed them. Possible
Rookie of the Year, Chipper
Jones, Ryan Klesko, Marquis
Grissom, and "Little Man"
Mark Lemke, all hit well during the entire series.
Justice, who went 318 in the first five games of
the series went from zero to
hero in game six. Justice
served up a double, a single,
a walk, and the game winning shot in the series finale.
The Braves won this
series on emotion; they had
come too close, too many
times to let it slip away again.
In 1991 the Braves lost to
Minnesota. In '92 it was the
Toronto Blue Jays, who went
on to take the title again the
next year. After the cancellation of the series in '94, the
Braves returned to the pinnacle of success which has
made them the best the National League has to offer for
the last five years.
Wild, wild west
Bill Russolesi
Staff writer
Well, as promised in
last weeks issue of the Monroe Doctrine, here are my predictions for the Western Conference in the NHL. You
may or may not recall that
last week I picked the Boston
Bruins to represent the East
in the Stanley Cup finals.
*Central Division
Detroit- During the
shortened 1994-95 season the
Wings had it made. They
won the Presidents trophy,
which is awarded to the team
with the best regular season
record. Paul Coffey won the
Norris trophy for the top defensive player in the league.
But Detroit was swept in the
Finals by the Devils. This
year the Red Wings return
the nucleus of last years team
and nothing less than winning the cup will be expected
in the Motor City. Detroit is
in good shape to return to the
Finals.
St.
Louis-Mike
Keenan shipped out goal-tender Curtis Joseph before the
start of the season. Although
currently, Grant Fuhr is doing an adequate job, making
him their primary goal-tender is not in the best interest
of the Blues. As good as the
Blues are on offense,
goaltending and controversy
may lead to a dissapointing
season for St. Louis fans.
Chicago-Last year the
Hawks came within one game
of sending the Detroit Red
Wings on an early vacation.
Chicago will be looking for
another shot at the defending
Western champs. Don't be
surprised if the Blackhawks
go all the way.
Winnipeg- Oh no here
come the Jets! The Jets are
going to crash. Most people
in Winnipeg can't wait until
the Jets move because they
are so bad. These Jets are
trying to fly with no "wings."
Toronto-The Maple
Leafs have one of the most
explosive offenses in the
NHL, headed by Dave
Andreychuk and Doug
Gilmour. Toronto's main
weakness, and it's abig weakness, is their defense. In the
beginning of a season
Toronto's defense is good.
But as the season rolls on, the
defense gets worse and worse
until it collapes in the playoffs. If Toronto can stop a
defensive collapse, the Maple
Leafs could be in prime condition to win another Cup for
Canada.
Dallas- In 1992 the
Minnesota North Stars, went
to the NHL Finals, where they
lost to Pittsburgh. This year
Dallas could be in prime condition to make another run
towards Lord Stanley's Cup.
The key for Dallas is Andy
Moog. If Moog can produce
a stellar season, Dallas has
the talent to win the wideopen West.
*Pacific Division
Colorado-Last year in
Quebec as the Nordiques they
skated to the best record in
the Eastern Conference. But,
alas, the best record didn't
help. In the first round of the
playoffs, they were eliminated by the defending Cup
champion Rangers. A new
city and a new star (playoff
MVP Claude Lemieux) could
be the ingredients the Avalanche need to avenge their
early vacation.
Los Angeles-The
Kings used to have a solid

Luc Robitaille helped the
