First Bingo Walk Set for May 19, Rain or Shine
Volunteers Still Needed
for Commencement Weekend
Event celebrates National Employee Health and Fitness Day
alk about multi-tasking!
The staff of CU Wellness
challenges you to try your skill and
luck at walking and playing bingo—
at the same time—during the
upcoming Bingo Walk, in honor of
National Employee Health and
Fitness Day, Wednesday, May 19.
The first ever Bingo Walk will be
held 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. rain or
shine at the Kane Memorial Track
located on Alumni Field across the
street from Wing Hall. Participants,
who will simultaneously play bingo
and walk around the track, can join
in for as many games as their
schedules allow.
Valuable prizes will be awarded to
bingo winners, and a number of
other great prizes will be randomly
drawn, including a pair of Teva
sandals (a $45 value) from Fontanas
Shoes, a free one-year membership to
the CU Wellness Program, a free
summer membership to the Cornell
Fitness Center, and more. In
addition, the first 600 participants
will receive a free water bottle.
The Bingo Walk is free and open
to the Cornell community, and no
registration is necessary. Official rules
are available at 303 Helen Newman
Hall. For information, contact Beth
McKinney at 255-3703.

by the Cornell Dairy Store. Commencement Sundae will be served at
the June 9 thank you reception sponsored by President Lehman for
commencement volunteers. The Dairy Store mascot Cornelia

ith Commencement Weekend just around the corner, volunteers are
still needed to staff events. Ushers are needed to work at the Convocation
ceremony from 5:30-11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, when The
Honorable William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd president of the United States
will serve as the convocation speaker. A small training and debriefing
session for volunteers will be held on May 27 at 2:00 p.m. in the Statler
Auditorium. Additional information will be provided to volunteers once
they sign up. To volunteer for Convocation, visit
www.activities.cornell.edu/convocation and register as an usher.
Approximately 30 volunteers are needed to serve as ushers at the
Ph.D. Recognition Ceremony also on May 29 from 3:00-7:00 p.m. Ushers
who volunteer for this event will receive two complimentary tickets to a
local movie theatre.
At Commencement on May 30, approximately 320 ushers are needed
from 7:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m to assist the 40,000 students, families, and
guests at the university’s grandest event. Commencement volunteers
receive a complimentary mug (pictured above) in addition to an invitation
to the June 9 reception.
Consider being part of this annual joyous event. For more information
or to volunteer, visit http://commencement.cornell.edu/ushers.htm

Second Annual Cornell “Dump & Run” Drive In High Gear
Pilot program last year netted $10,000 to assist local charities
collected during the week of finals,
and items will be sorted and stored
over the summer. During
Orientation Week, August 21 & 22,
Dump and Run will sponsor a yard
sale on North Campus, where the
rescued items will be sold at very
cheap prices (examples: a shirt for
$1; a blow-dryer for $3; a minirefrigerator for $20.) Local programs,
including Loaves & Fishes, The
Advocacy Center, and Cops, Kids &
Toys will receive ninety percent of
the proceeds from the sale. The
remaining ten percent will be
donated to the national “Dump &
Run” organization to help start local
chapters at other colleges and
universities. What is not sold will be
donated to local charities.
Volunteers are central to the
success of “Dump and Run.” Staff
are asked to consider volunteering—
either individually or as a group—
for one of the following three tasks.
Collecting
(May 10–22):
These volunteers,
who need access
to a car, drive to
residence houses
and co-ops to pick up
items and
load them on a truck. Some heavy
lifting may be required.
Sorting/pricing items (May 10–
22; summer dates TBA): These
volunteers categorize, price, and
label saleable items.
Selling (August 21 & 22): These
volunteers staff sale tables, answer
questions, and help with purchases.
In addition to knowing they are
helping to raise money for local
charities and curbing tons of waste,
all volunteers receive a thirty-five
percent discount on their total
purchases at the August yard sale.
If interested, contact Cornell
program coordinator, Cameron Polek,
at [email protected] or 351-8249.

n the crunch to get home at the
end of May with little space or
time to store or pack their
belongings, university students
traditionally resort to tossing useful
items out. This practice over the
years has produced unnecessary
costs for the university and a great
amount of waste.
To turn that situation around,
“Dump & Run,” a national nonprofit organization was formed just
four years ago by a University of
Richmond student. In its pilot effort
last year, the local Cornell chapter of
“Dump & Run” brought in
approximately $10,000, which they
donated to charity. Local organizers
hope to double this figure during
the 2004 season.
Volunteers are setting out
collection boxes in every Cornell
residence hall, sorority, co-op and
graduate residence during study
days. The boxes will then be

n recent weeks, several hundred Windows
computer systems on campus have been affected
Leslie Intemann
by current Internet worm activity. To protect your
computer, take these three steps:
1. Run Windows Update (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/
default.asp)
2. Run Symantec AntiVirus' LiveUpdate (www.cit.cornell.edu/services/nav/
update.html)
3. Never open an e-mail attachment unless you're completely certain you
know exactly what it is.
With the hostility of the contemporary Internet environment, keeping your
system software up-to-date is crucial. The most recent worms aren't disguised as
e-mail attachments; instead, they spread directly from computer to computer.
Computers running Microsoft Windows that haven't been updated for the
vulnerabilities announced in mid-April are at high risk-approaching certainty of
being compromised. See Microsoft's description of the risk at
www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-011.mspx.
By the end of April, Cornell and many other higher education sites were
inundated by a worm, or several worm variants, that probes both for the recently
announced Windows security holes and for several previously known
vulnerabilities. Once the worm finds an opening, it installs itself, starts a number
of processes affecting that Windows system—including disabling antivirus
software and shutting down the computer—and looks for other systems to infect.
For more information about these worms, visit www.cit.cornell.edu/computer/
security/alerts/april04.html.

As I write this column, it is the day of the Slope
Fest at Cornell University. This celebration of the end of classes for the school year
would not be possible without the many staff, faculty, and administrators who
volunteer their time.
It is just one example of the many ways Cornellians give of themselves
unselfishly. Even though Cornell is the largest employer in the county, its
strengths often come through volunteer activities.
Commencement is a few weeks away, but preparations are already underway
to utilize an army of volunteers to make the event as spectacular as ever.
Cornellians are often the backbone of community efforts such as volunteer
fire departments and ambulance corps. They clean up roadways and help in
other beautification projects. Local Kiwanis, Sertoma, and Elks clubs and other
civic organizations are filled with members of the Cornell community.
Many of us help raise funds for disease research and participate in activities
such as United Way, Relay for Life, and Plants for Life, to name a few.
Staff, faculty, and students give of their time to serve on committees and
assemblies to support the self-governance system of the university.
Cornell can be looked upon as just a place to work, but it is also filled with
folks who look beyond employment to lead a full, productive, and happy life.
If you aren’t already part of this crowd, come join us!

We need not give an Armenian greeting or bear hug with kisses (even if it
is sometimes hard not to do so.) We can understand that genuine affection
and respect for each individual can make the wheels of an organization run
more smoothly.

With my Middle-Eastern culture, I am accused of being too touchy-feely
because we do a lot of bear hugs and kisses. We Armenians even kiss left
cheek, right cheek and back to the left cheek again (three kisses.) That
demonstrates human behavior at its best and has nothing to do with
management practices, but it does show affection in a stronger way than a
handshake. Affection and respect for each other goes a long way toward
running a successful organization. Everyone could use a little more of it.

Well, whoopty-do! One should not have to wait to become a CEO of any
thing before becoming aware that touchy-feely is a healthy and good way to
be. It’s what makes the world go around. But I would not refer to it as
organizational behavior. I would call it “human behavior.” And it is essential
in all aspects of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
