The BAC receives funds Ii-om the srudem

This weekend is of dual significance; it is bmh Halloween and Family Weekend. I
am not sure who is responsible for the planning of Family Weekend, but scheduling
this event on Halloween - a holiday associated with mischief and naughtiness - sums
Hke a major oversight. Til is poor planning will leave s cudcncs with rwo op1ions: either
panakc in 1he Halloween festiv ities and subsequently wake up hung•over to spend rhc
day with our folks, or s1ay tame on one of the wildcs1 weekends of the year so rhat you
can parricipate in the lackluster activities planned for the weekend, The terrible timing
is killing both Halloween and r:amily Weekend in one fell swoop.
I cnjoy seeing my family as much, if not more, than most C<,lgatc studcncs. My
mom usually comes bearing clo1hcs, food and other pick.. mc~ups thac help case the
pressures of Colgate. After being at school for over a month, I miss few things as muc.b
as my fumi ly. However, I also truly enjoy H alloween. It's a holiday meant for cnjoyrnenc and revelry. At Colgate , this usually consiscs of celebrating with friends, going
downtown and staying out until the early•morning hours, but with our parencs showing up bright and early the next morning, staying out passed the witching hour puu
us in a precarious posit ion.
\V/hilc most students will likely enjoy Halloween to its fullest and wake up early rn
greet their family anyway, they should not be confronted with this dilemma. A Liberal
Ans educa1ion centers on a nalytical decision•making and critic.al rhinking, neither of
which appear co be exercised in the planning of Family Weekend. llle fact that we arc
able to go out and rhen get our game facc.s on to spend much-needed time with family
is a 1csiament lO the will of Colgate studenu, howevc-r this does no1 excuse the poor
timing.
Scheduling f-amily Weekend to coinc.ide wilh Halloween is awful planning on the
p:art of the Administ ration. There arc plenty of other wcekcndJ equally suited for
Family \V/c ekcnd, but, fro m a student's perspective, there are fow weekends less ac·
commodating.
ln defense of the Ad1ninistration, the.re arc ma1\y aspects of this weekend th:u make
it an ideal 1imc for fam ilies 10 visit. 1l1erc arc numcrou3 home games - foo1ball, hockey
and soccer c-o name :a few-, a play. 11,r Miur, and several 01hcr activities scheduled for
the weekend to entertain family members. Coordinadng so many events can prove
very difficuh and cenain trade·offs must be made. There is no evidence to suggest that
the questionable timing of Family Wcekend was intentional. It is just unfortuna(e.
So, from the Maroon-News staff', Happy Halloween, enjoy Family Weekend and
good luck trying 10 do both.

Well. Pat. that would be me. 1 am responsible for ensuring that our students
pay a fair price for their food and receive
gooc.i, nutrilious meals. Colg-;uc accompl ishc.·s these objccdves by outsourcing
d ining services t0 Sodexho. under the
leadership of Director or Dining George

AfT~airs Sue Smhh :md I also work directly with the SGA to help resolve problems
and implemcm new ideas. These act ivi1ics often result in modific:uions to m eal

studc,us w ould increasingly purchase

data doesn't suppo rt chat.
fn fac1. Sodexho's annual price incrca.ses
arc typically below the consumer price index. At the same time, if Sodexho we~ to
undercut local prices and students did not
support off-campus dining. local rcs"tau·
rants would nm survive and culinary di·
vcrsi1y would decline. No one wants that.
We collecdvcly benefit when Sodcxho's
pricing structure remains competitive bu1
not exploi1ive. In any case, within chc
next few weeks we' ll check on local restaurant prices for a varie1y of food items
:and report back in rhc Afaroon•Nr,us. Sru·
dents will panicip:ne in this initiative.
In his editorial, Pai colorfully raises
the issue of excess ive Sodexho profits.
He says, " It is only with the self-assured,
placid and smug security of an up-the-hill
monopoly that Sodexho executives can
cxcava1e our wallets," 'Inc fac1s don'1support excavation or even exploratory digging. 111e profit margin in rhe food service indus try is mini,sculc, on the order of
rwo percent. That is why so few providers
remain in the business. namely Sodexho,
Aramark, C hartwdl. and Bon Apclit.
Ir Sodexho were to earn less, its Europc:an parent company would surely
convert its food service division to other,
more pro fitable lines of business. That
would mean fewe r food service providers
from which Colgate could choose and,
ultimatd)', higher prices for srndcnts.
On 1hc 0 1hcr hand, if Sodexho were
to increase its profit, 1he Colgarc market
would appear more attract ive to compc:titivc providers - a condition Sodexho
would like 10 avoid. Moreover, greater
profits would require higher prices or
lower quality, both of which arc unacceptable 10 all of u.s.
\'(/here doe,) that leave us? The fact is
that Sodexho and 01her large food service
providers arc locked into :1 very narrow
profi1 strucrnre, :md 1hc values within
drn1 range simply don't rcncct the exploic.uion implied in P.u's earthy met:aphor.

American Hero Dies, Nobody Notices
Passing ofRosa Parks an Afterthought on Campus
BY ANDREA fUGAZOT
C/An~/1009

fn clus Wednesday morning,

a1

ap-

proximately L0:30, ( was comple1t·ly and
utterly ashamed of mysclr. I hadn't gotten
a failing test grade back, and I hadn't answered ;a question wrong. All I had done so
far was read the overhead with the points
of discussion for the day. It was point
number one thrn had evoked this unplc.isant feeling of guih inside me. As many of
you may not be :1warc, Rosa Parks. the
"'mother of 1he civil rights movemtnt,"
the brave wom:m who refused t0 give up
her S('3t on the bus, passed away on Mon-

day, Occober 24. 2005. How is ic chac in
a place brimming with some of the mos1
incclligcnt people in chc country, an event
like this passed unnoticed?
College studems always joke that living on a college campus is like living in
a bubble, that we're not aware of what's
going on in .. the re.al world". Well, even
if we arc in a bubble, we mu.st no1 forget
its transparency. We should still be looking through it and every once in a while
take notc of what is going on. Having ju.st

discovered th:u I 100 had given in 10 the
"bubble effect," I am now determined not
10 let mystlf do ii again , It's a shame 1h,u
such a gr<.-at woman p:i.5.sed away wi1hoU1
so much as a ripple througholll our communicy, and it is necessary t0 com:ider the
implit:uions of that.
Now th,u we l11wr been made aw:are,
it is important to reflect. \Xlho was Rosa
Parks? Rosa Parks was a woman who was
not just tired from a long d:,y :u work,
but (ired of a long history of oppression
and 111is1 rc:mn ent that she and others of
her race had faced.
When she refused 10 give up her scat.
the mcs:sage she sent was nc>t. "' Lei poor
tired women gc1 some rest while riding
a bus." lt was, .. We're the same as you.
and I'm t ired of you not trealing us that
way. "
Rosa Parks was :a spark that conuibu1ed to the fire of the civil rights movement. She was a familiar name and a
familiar face that served as a role model
for many people. She was a woman who
Slood up for what she believed in by sitling down.
A question was raised by my professor:

What \\ 0uld you
stand up for? Wha1
do you believe in so
Slrongly that you
would take a stand
for it - no maner
the opposidon, no
m:utcr ,he consequences?
I 1hink it·s important th:u we :•II
6nd that something
within
ourselves.

Seize the Day Every Day at Colgate
BY KELLY LEHMAN N JO H NSON
Cl,u u/1994

I had :an opportunicy chis f.tU to rcpre·
sent Colgate a1 a college nighr. Herc at a
Dallas, TX, high school, halfway acro5" the
country. I crit-d 10 "sell" our school to pro•
spcc1i\'e students. Students like you. Uch
year l do this I realize that there isn't a "Colgouc type" - unless inte.lligenc. curious. funloving and outgoing can be easily summed
up. This fuct rn:akd me proud. Sman, fun
people enjoy life.
J"m a member of the class of '94, and I
still t'1ink I'm young enough to "get" col·
legc life. Yc.'1. :u I mt.-ct new a.Jumni and
travel bae:k to Hamihon a few dmC$ a year, I
rcaliu how many things happen at Colga1e
that I did not take the lime to experience.
At your Colgoue reunions (which are great,
by the way - 01,e or 1he perks 10 :mc.n ding a
great college). you will have the experience
of mc..-cting other people from your class.
After some small talk and sharing what you
arc doing in the ··real world." you will often
fi nd yourself, like me. saying to people "'I'm
sorry I didn'r know you when we were in
school wgether."
Yes, it's a small QlmptLll. but it·s also easy
co get comforta ble wi1h your sm:all group
of friends - whctht·r i1's your buddies fro m
your first-year dorm (Stillman, fo r me),
pc;'OJ>le in your hou~. or friends from .1

team. 1 meet other elm of '94 pc:ople an•
nually th.:it are so interesting - and 001 like
me at all.
So take the time 10 get 10 know as many
people as you can. ls there someone who
really imprems you in a course chis semc.ster? Walk to che Coop af,er dus to share
a cup of coffee. Is there someone from a
foreign country who lives in your dorm?
Take the time to ask about his or her childhood and impressions of America. Do you
have a friend with :ii religion different from
your own? Spend ,hose late nights talking
abou1 it - sharing differences and learning
about customs.
Throughout my four years at Colgate, I
had roommates who were Chris(ian, Jewish, Hindu and Mu.slim. I am glad I spent
those la,c nightS talking - I have learned
that in the ..real world" my exposure to my
friends has made me much less judgmencal
than mos1 or my adult pt-crs.
Also, take the time to do· as many activities as you can. I have me.t alumni about
my age who love Colgate as much as I do,
yet had entirely different experiences during their time here. I have a friend who
was an art major, while I majored in math.
[ have friends who were very involved in

Colgate, CUTV - and ,hen I was honor«!
my senior year to be selected to Konosioni,
where l met :another group of studencs who
had been busy running and participating in
other parts of campus.
One or life's great lessons is th.:it you
cannot do everything at the same lime. l
should know - I'm currcndy at home with
two small children while my husband, Colgate '94 himself, works full time. But you
can expose yourself to various activities
and embrace the idea that there is noc one
•nght" way to enjoy life.
Embrace the liberal arts experience
- and truJy learn how to learn. The world,
like Colgate, would be a boring place if we
all had the same passions. You will probably never be surrounded on a daily basis
by as many smart people as you arc right
now. Take advantage of it to become a bt1•
,er person yourself. Fun and panics included, of course.
My advice for you is co spc.n d time
meering different people and to try new
things each semester. It will set you up for
a lifetime of growth and hdp you to leave
Colgarc with a running start, ready to take
on the world. In the mcamime., there are
alumni around the t..-oumry who art trying
co find more incelligcnt, curious, fon-loving. outgoing scudenis to anend Colga1e.
It's a great place.

caught my eye.
Hown'tr, my initial assumption th.at my

his plaiu to take action againsr die school
provc..-d fulse. h seems that another Colgate
scudcm, a freshm:u\ last year, was suspended
by the school for chc..-ating. I don't know this

:a stranger who's been thrown out of school,
bm two fact0rs lead me to symp:uhi1.e her and
wish her well in her quest to demonstr:nc cul·
p.1bility on die pan ofColgaic.
First. :as many know, I, too, was subject w a

nOI cvtryone who i.s suspended from school is
:i complerc moron. The5C thiJ,~ can and do
happen to the best of us.
Second, l warched the drama surround·
ing my friend's dismissal. The allegations
made by suspended freshman Kristin Verbicsky arc vinuaJly identical to what I saw
Colg.icc's admini.str:UOr$ do before and during my friend Adam's hearing. Verbicsky's
court papers indicate that Colgate:
did not provide her with enough infor.
mation about the charges (O defend herself

alleged honor code viol.11ion ... According
to court papers, Noel Bisson, associate dean

of the collc..-ge. told Verbitsky at the hearing to abbrcviau: her tc-s(imony '"because

THE COLGATE MAROON-NEWS

AN OPEN LETTER TO CHAIRMAN JOH N GOLDEN,
AND Tl-IE BOARD OF TRUSTE ES, COLGATE UN IVERSITY
J ohn G olden:
Since you "called me out" at the public meeting o f the Colgate
Board of Trustees d uring Ho meco ming \Xleekend (10/1 /05), it's fair
to le t the Colgate community know my perceptions of your performance and our attempts to solve the issues.
Reading the transcript of the m~eting reinfo rces my percep tion
that you were arrogant, an embarrassment to the university, and
offen sive to those who had hoped fo r civil discourse and to "walk
across di fferences." Respo nsible questio ns were asked; you disn,issed them as trivial and used the o ppo rtunity fo r rehearsed public
relations sound bytes that did not address any o f the issues.
Yo u, and certain membe rs of the administrati()n, acting outside of
the terms of the Reside ntial Plan approved by the trustees, "put a
gun to the head" of the Greek-letter alumni organizations by
demanding that they sell their valuable real estate or lose their
chapter recognition. You further threatened that any student
"participating" in a banned chapter would be suspended or
expelled.
D espite our fraternity's endless attempts at compromise, your
counterj,ro posals and tactics could well give rise to criminal charges
of coercion. I believe you have s upported the "extortion" of
G reek-letter property rights by rendering fraternities and sorority
houses useless without Colgate ownership. i\nd to add insult, your
purchase offers were merely pennies on the dollar in relationship to
what it would cost to build comparab le housin~ John Golden, you
have replaced "the spirit that is Colgate" with administrative
domination and control.
You have denied DKE undergraduate brothers the right to
associate as guaranteed in o ur society by the Constitution of the
United States and incorporated in Colgate's Student Handbook.
T he brother• have had flo'dlsciplin~ry problems and have 'met all the
requirements for a social organization as published in the Handbook.

Even though the brothers are living in university-owned
housing - "the keystone of Colgate's Residential Program,"
you have thrown the fraternity off the campus without any due
process and contrary to Colgate's written policies.
John Golden, you arc discriminating against the student
membe rs of DKE and punishing (hem because their alumni
would not be bullied into selling their house and betraying 150
years' history at Colg ate. But you continue to recognize other
sororities and fraternities who did no c have a house to sell and who,
l.ikc the D KE bro thers, arc Living in university-owned ho using.
As a trustee, your actions appear hypocritical. (Although,
this may be consistent fo r you . Witness your " .. . aUowing (as an
A&F board m ember] the m arketing by Abercrombie and Fitch o f
'thong' underwear 10 5th g rade pre- teen girls .. . imprinted with
lurid expressions like ' Eye Candy' .. . " Sec U.S.A Today 12/08/03
-www.mens ruff.o rg/archives/abercrombiead .html)
For twenty-five years, a pattern has existed where Greek letter
organizations have been reduced, weakened, or destroyed at
every o pportunity. The pattern has been to use group punishment for individual behavior, p lace extreme financial burden s on the
houses, close fraternities without "just cause" or proper procc..-duces,
and wage a public relations campaign blaming fraternities for all of
Colgate's problems.
You blame the Greek system for the tragic Oak Drive car crash
in November 2000 that took the lives of four young people. But
the intoxicated driver was a Colg.ue student who bought his alcohol
from a downtown merchant and had been drinking at a downtown
bar before the crash. You know that before the accident, Colgate
eliminated the shuttle service from downtown 10 campus. And,
you also know that after the accident Colgate reinstated the shuttle
service. Months later, a driver of the college shuttle service was
prosecuted for drunk driving.
The adminis tration makes a lame excuse that you need more
"unambiguous control" over students outside the classroom for
their own safety. But the stories and statistics of how you manage

srudents' lives in your do rms and apartments caJI into question the
school's ability to "capture" these "educational m o1ncn ts." Your
own document entitled , " D isciplinary History - Colgate's Fraternities and Sororities," indicates Greek-lettered houses committed
fewer than 75 minor or major infractions in almost 20 years.
But, as the chart below demonstrates, in just thne years, there
were 1,787 occurrences in univers ity-owned hous ing! f\ nd
don't forget the recent multiple stabbings of young people at the
Colgate-owned Palace T heater.

\Xie also suggest that parents and alumni look into the current dangerous conditio ns and disgusting behavior going on in the dorm s 10
sec how the university has failed to prope rly supervise h ou s ing
under "its control."
J ohn Golden, your "Wall Street" tactics have rnad c life tin1e
enemies for Colgate. You have squandered millions of dollars
to 1narkct your plan and risked coundcss more contributions from
disenfranchised alumni.
\V/e have tried civil discourse and negotiations, but to no avail. It
has all been one sided - d o your bidding or see our demise. J\nd
then you have the gall to blame us for not giving in to your heavyhanded threats.

Colgate taught us to be critical, analrtical, and independent thinkers! It is yet to be determfr•ed if your "New Vision° is more il'1doctrination rather than education. You make a mocke r y of wha t we
,vcrc taught at our beloved alma mater. I never thought Colgate
would stoop so low and endorse this type of behavior.

The Sale Agree ment for the Grcek-leucr houses requires each
Chapter 10 sign a general release of all claims from "the beginning
of the world"; it allows Colgate co :unend its residential plan without
notice; ic requires a minima) occupancy level for the Grcek-Jcrrcr
house to be used by itS members; it requires acknowledgement
that Colgate's policies and procedures "are not contractual"
and may be changed by the University unilate rally without
notice; it reserves Colgate's right to eliminate fracernities at its
discretion; it requires the fraternity ro bear the cost of insurance; it
strips the Chap cer of its true existence, and yet leaves much of rhe
Liability fo r the use and occupancy of che ho use with the G reekletter o rganization.
If Colgate bans a frate rnity or sorority, the Agreement allows its
members to buy back their house but at a cost th at could exceed
three to four times what Colgate paid . And, the ho use cannot be
used for Colgare students. No self-respecting Colgate graduate
would voluntarily agree to such one-sided terms.

John Golden, commit in an enforceable binding
arbitration agreement that fraternities or sororities as
individual chapters or as a Greek-le tter system may
not be forced to become coeducational or may not
be banned with out due p rocess and "just cause." If
you cannot agree to this simple pro posal, it is just further
evidence that you intend to eliminate G reek life at
Colgate University in the near future. I invite you to
"walk across this difference" with me.

Antonio Delgado '99
Humming to a New Tune
BY DEBORAH CHARNEY
M11,wn-N""1 $1.,ff

Many musicians write and perform with the intent of passing along a message co their
audience. For Colgate gr3duatc Antonio Delgado '99, his message is a thirst for change.
Odgado ha.~ spent the last six y<.-ars since gr.1duation from Colgate pursuing not only music, but also law, in the hopes of inspiring a movcmem for S()(;ial change. With the release
of his first album, Painfaliy Fret, at the end this year, he looks forward to passing on his
message of empowerment and c~:uing a collective determination among his listeners to
rise up against inequalicy.
Ddgado has had an interest in mwic from a young age. Since middle school, his passion has been poetry and lyrics. But like most suong students, he opted co :mend the best
college he could (Colgatt, ofcoursd) and further his educacion, rather than pursuc a music

or

Since embracing music as his first prioricy. Dclg:,do has become an accomplished member
of hip hop culrure. Together wirh fellow Colgare graduarc Tom Kim "97. Ddgado began his
own independent music labd, Smtik Entertainment. ~rhe philosophy of Sratik Entcm,in·
mem is similar l'O that of Delgado's own personal ideals.
" I believe hip hop is desperately in need of a new direction - one that celebrates the power
of c:duc:acion as opposed to malcing our youth feel like 'keeping i1 rt.i.l' means standing on
the block insccad of sining in a classroom,'' he said. "I want 10 introduet" a more uplifting
narrative .ibou1 brown and black people - one that hopefully will lead to sclf~empowerment
and collcaivc dctcmlinacion."
Sradk Encerrainmenr calls for a rtVOlucion in which rhe voicC$ of chc "unnociced. the disrq,.irdcd - those fol'Cro to live in the shadow oflics, fulsc: promises and dreams deferred" are
h(ard. This revolution, driven by the power of knowledge and love:, represents the way that
Delgado h"5 lived his life, approaching goals with passion and always striving for the best. His
own pursuit of cduc.irion re.At-cts his drive, one: which will serve him well 1101 only as a role
model for his audience, bm also in helping his message reach a broader group of people.
Although Sr:arik Enrenainment has a strong focus on its mes.~e for a more humane and
equal worfd, passion for music is maintained. Firmly in the genre of hip hop, Delgado describes his music as "a crc)SS bctwttn Kanyc Wes, and Nas - wilh a bic of KRS I sprinkkd in.
Basically, it's polirica.Uy driven hip hop wi1h a commercial sound." Delgado calls himself AD
- The Voice, and promoccs the image of a voice behind a message. This is because the messages th.at Sratik Enter1ainment promoccs .trc no1 jus1 found in the mission st.arcmcm. bm
in the lyrics of the music itScl( The son~ on his upcoming album dt'.1.1 wilh issut.'S pl.1guing
American socic:ty (racism) sexism, violence, capitalism and imperialism). One such ex.ample
is che song ti1k-d "'S.O.S.," which is abom the dcvastatio1\ C3u.sed by Murrie.me Ka1rin~ .

career. Little did he know that doing both was entire.ly possible. He did extraordinarily
weU in his collcgi:ue acadcmic pursuits and became the first black smden1 ac Colgate ro
receive the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. This schol:uship granted him rhe opportunity
co nudy at Oxford University in England after graduation, and it was there that his passion for songwriting, first discovered back in his middle school days. re-emerged. "Writing
lyrics really became an outlet for my frustrations during my timc in Engl.and as I struggled co
overcome culture shock and the fact that I was so far away from family and friends," Delgado
said. "Ir was during this period rhac I feel like I started to find my voice :as an artist."
Despite this re-emergence of his lovt for mwic, upon his graduation from Oxford with
a second Bachtlor's Degree. Delgado again chose education as his top priority. He went on
to anend Harvard Law School in the hopes of ltaming more about the social injustices in
America and to change the ills he ,aw in the world through law.
Delg2do again succeeded in funhcring his academic career, but chis time it wasn't as
fulfilling. At Harvanl. he had imcnded to become mor< informed abour social injustice
and use that knowledge to bring about change in a society plagued with inequality. Unforrunately, law wasn't che medium through which he could pursue his newfound passion.
'"Turns out I was wrong about being able to use the law to effectuate social change- ac least
the kind of transformativc or revolutionary change I am seeking,• Delgado ,.id.
But just bccawe law wasn't the forum Delgado could use to inspir< change, he didn't
give up. Rather, he turned 10 his lifelong passion.
"I felt free to consider non-traditional methods for societal change," he said.
He found the perfect non-1nditional method - hip hop cul1ur<, in which he could
blend his twO passions: music and changing the disparities of society. More spcci.fically,
Delgado wanted to focus on equality in education and the promotion of educarion.
"'Education and rhc hip hop nation arc two thinp; a.bout which I am extremely passion~
ate; he said. "And one day I hope 10 many the two for the benerment of not only brown
and bbclt people, but all Americans and the rest of the world."

The name of the upcoming album, Painfully F""· also comes from De.lgado's sadness
over discrimination .... believe that even though the truth huns, it can also set us frt..-e," he
explained...And I would rather be painfully free, than in painl<.-ss capdvity." All chc tracks
on 1he album deal wich strong truths and attempt to let the listeners learn enough co free
themselves from injusrice, even if the rruth is somerimcs hard to face.
Delgado's music. and the message behind it, arc jun one example of what Colgate
graduates c:an accomplish when they put their minds to it and pursue cheir passions 1 no
matter wh.11 c.hey intended to do first upon graduation. Delgado, now equipped with rwo
Bachelor's degrees and a law degree from Harv;i.ro. is embarking on a new challenge - going afrer his lifelong dream to effect change while also embracing his middle school love
of music. To hear ,.mplcs of his music, download rracks from Painfolly Fru and find our

of One Arm Red wanted lO test ,he creativity ofwriters, dircc,ors and
actors by wriling. producing and staging a play within a 24-Hour

up fof 12 hours throughout the night formulating plays that were

production was a bit different.
"1l1is ye-.ir we had a chance 10 read writing samplcs from m:iny

I walked imo 1ltc blackbox. I was handed a single sheet of printer

A lit1lc 1:i-rnurbed by the suggestion that J sit on i-he Aoor, I glanced

show will definitely be interesting to sec." And I was right.
111c room itself ceminly gave evidence ,o the common theatre
phrase, "All you need for a play is two planks, an actor and a p:.wion."
IJ11r11i performance in Ryan 212, with its draped walls, wood Aoors
and minima.I lighling, wa.s a production space chat migllc seem for..
eign 10 many 1he.-11rc-gocrs. There was no definable nagc and the scats
in the room were not set up on an indine, making it a little difficuh
for the audience 10 SC.'C the act:ion. I cook a chance and plopped my..
sc:lf omo the: Aoor whCre no c~zy hairdo could obstruct my view.
The Hghts wem up on rhc shon play, Fru to Mow about th, Cabin, wrinen by seniors Lauren Kerensky and Caren King. This hst•
p:1a-d com«iy about the awkward, and sometimes eccentric, people
one meets on a plane was both honest and extremely enre,mining.
Keren.sky says the idea stemmed from experiences she has had with
nr:mgers in transit.
"I thought, when people arc ,rapped in a confined space Hke that,
a lot of things about peoples' personaUtics arc exposed," she said.
..And ir could tot.ally be possible that the strangers you meet arc fabricating some wild story of their own just to amu~ themsdvcs., and

you would never be the wiser." Since the audience knew the true
identities of the charac,ers, however, we couldn', help but be thor..
oughly shocked and cmenained by the fietirious life st0rks rold 10
or:he.r passengers.
The next play, Dingr, wrinen by sophomores Allsion Ewing and
Kevin &uch, ac,cd as. an cxpoSC on the sad inner lives of the regular
people one met.'ts at :a bus stop in the ciry. hs charaeters were far
ranging and fresh, ;nclud;ng a bl;nd and jobless woman, a hcanlcss
boyfriend and a psychotic British CEO. lmercst;ngly, however, as
each sce.nc came to an end, a runner sped across the srage for no ap·
parenc reason.
When asked about chc meaning. if any, behind this action, Samtur said, "We told our writers we were going for a 'running them' and
they took it as a 'running man."'
"O .. .. K... ", I though,. adding "random runner" to my already
running list of "problems" with the show, which induded ..non-inclined seats" and "an ;ndecipherable playbill."
Aher Dlnge, the lights wem up on Tango and Tolkr Papn-, a
two-person play filled w;,h love and s,dncss. f ;r,;r-ycar Ally Dall '
truly c.aptuttd her role as a nostaJgic girl forced 10 survive on only
memories or her deceased boyrr;end. The play heighrened wirh rhe
cha.racu:r's explanation of the sense of "fn:cdom, con6dc:ncc, safety
and security" that she could only feel around her man. Suddenly, the:
audience found our that this confidence was shauertd ,he day her
boyfriend committed suicide:. When D.mJ dcscribc.-d chat day, the
lingering smiles of the audience quidonc'e excited f.tccs became blank. le was the most dramalic 1he
plays and arguably one of rhc tightCSl in the production.
24~Hour 811m ended on a funny note, wirh juniors Nick Co;&St
and Connoly Buncrlicld's lulre 5:32. The play cenrered around five
bit.arre Catholics and their confessions to a pries,. lu chaDctcrs
cried about over.. masturbation. coveting the neighbor's wife, and ,he
outr:agcousncss of BiblkaJ stories. Though the wrirers 100k extreme
ch.an~ with the eccentricity of their characters, the actors wcm the
distance to c:i.pturc 1hem. From my place on the ftoo r1 I could t:d l 1ha1
tl1c actors were losing their inhibitions and fuHy giving themselVC$ to
the bi1..am: charaeters. To sec that freedom was utterly satisfying.
As I left R)"ln 212, I 1hough1 about the producrion's imperfections: the playbill, the staging, the Row and the writing. But then I
thought about the artistic feat that was accomplished by the actors,
the dircclOrs and the writers in the previous 24 hours. It became
evident to me that, yes, the production of 24-Hour Burn wasn't
perfect, but ii wasn't supposed to be. ln essence, it was :m experiment th:ac lC'Stcd the creativiry and imagination of aJI involved. So,
no, the playbill wasn'r readable, bur that wasn't ,he focus of rhe
production. And, no, the: seating wasn't on an incline:, but that had
no effect on the organic theatre expericn~ that unraveled onstage
and off.
First-year John Riedel $a.id of the acting experience, .. We were
just handed the cake, and we had 10 eat ;, blindfolded un,;I we knew
what flavor it was." There was something inspiring about this experimentation with creativity, this act of lening go and seeing where your
mind can take you.
As dichc as this may sound, the freedom to rcst yoursdf and 10
g;vc you...,lf up 10 youracadv;ry is what college is all about. I applaud
the actors, writers and directors for their work
on 24-Hour Burn beausc they rruly prov;ded
me wi,h an incredible oollcgc experience.

Clothing is often counterfeit or damaged and bag., arc almost always

Sales arc another superb way 10 supplement your wardrobe with·

to your fuvorhc de$igncr stores, because while the: sale items might
not be incredibly cheap, thc.-y'rc much better than full price and you

Everyone has their one food group that

In past columns, I have expl"C.'$$C..'d
my love for Sour P:uch kids and malt
bolls. That is only the beginning. It is
difficult to find a candy that I don't like.
Which k-ads 10 my "candy far." You
might have '"cake fat" or li(pizu f.11," but
my panicular vice is cmdy. This makes
HallOW<'for me. The wont parr about Halloween is ofien the rather tight clothing.

If you att not a candy eater, this anicle
d<>d nor panicularly penaln to you. How·
ever, Halloween is no longrr jwt a candy·
junky holiday. Ev,ty kind of dessert is made

manifest during 1he emin- month or Oc·

'Jhis is the only season where you can find

Now that I've dcocribed the delectable

how can you keep your figure from turning
into that of a pumpkin? Self-control and
modera1ion are key. Like alway,, practioc
ponion control a, meal times and try to

steer clear of vending machines and the CSrore. You have to assume that Halloween
night (and all the day, that follow when the
candy bucket is still full) will be tim<5 of
excess caling. Until then I suggest that you
cut down on your desseru in preparation
for the sugary holiday. Instead of eating
a piece of pie for dcssen, go for the
apple. I know it's not the same but jus-r
think how much beuer you will feel
if you can truly indulge in the Hal·
lowecn spirit without having to worry
about your weight.
For those ofyou who shatt my con·
ccrn for fining into your Halloween
costume, moderation is imponant.
This docs not mean crash dieting and
starvation. Most likely that will lead
you to eat more and tum your mood
sour. No one wantS co go through
school day, hungry and grwnpy, In,
stead of eating three big meals a day,
try five smaller meals. This will help keep
that metabolism pwnping and satisfy your
hunger so you do not haw, to reach for the
popcorn and soda at 11 :30 p.m.
ler's be honest - we can', be good all the
time. So, I say, approach Hallow,cn as you
would any other hollday, a special occasion
whett dietary rules don', apply.

Cooking With .Lauren!
BY LAUREN KERENSKY
M11rH11•Nf'W St111f

H:dlowCt.'n Fina.Hy arrives on Monday,
and while mon of us still panakc in the
cos1umc aspect of the holiday, it seems as if

we've had co abandon a lot of 1hc day's novclry as we have gotten older. You just can't
be sure how a Hamihon resident would
react 10 a 1wcmy-one--yc.ar--old crick-ortrc.atcr, not to mention the fact that most

of our costumes arc hardly sui1ablc for outdoor use. If we're going to take the time to
celebrate Hallowec11 in costume, we m ight

as well go all the way and relive some of this
holiday's spcdalrics as well.
Halloween-shaped cookies and brownies
are rypical fcamrcs of this holiday. At chc
bare minimum, you can buy cookie dough
and Halloween cookie cuners. Boxed cake

mix can be used to make HaJlowccn cupcakes, which can chen be toppl-d wich icing
and any son of thematic item like candy
com. Simple ideas like chese will definitely
bring you back.
Since we have grown up a bit, though.
[ have combined chis candy-filled occasion
with autumn-chcmc.-d ingrediencs for a fc.'\Y
seasonal recipes. Most notably, pumpkins
arc a great piece of produce to cake advantage of right now. Since we arc indulging
in the sweeter side of things for Halloween,
classics like pumpkin bread and pumpkin
roll cake are great show<.:3Scs for this fruit
(yes, it's a fruit).
I have to rerurn co the Halloween sugar
cookit"S, because a ghos1~shapcd C()()kie is
SllCh an imponam p:m of the holiday's spirit.
rr you're going tO revive the HaJlowcCJl spirit,
do it from scr:uch. h's r<..-ally simple and it's
a lot more fun co roll out your own dough.
Even if you purchase icing and add food coloring. your version will be superior.
For chose really interested in going all
out for Halloween - we've all made gingerbread houses at Christmas time, which
admim.-dly never gets old - why not make
a h:aumed house? No one ever said you had

co be sophisticated on Halloween. An edible haunted house i.s rcaJJy che s.1.me premise as th:.u of the Christmas version, just a
little darker and more depressing. So on
Monday, don't lei the Hallow<.-cn fun stop
with your costume. Forget your age and cclebnuc the day ju.st like you used to.

    Raider Football Runs Over Crusaders
    Scott Runs for 222 Yards on 45 Carries
    BY JEFF FEIN
    Wlffll'Jfflu,y &litor

    For rhe Colgarc foorball ream.
    C\'el)' game seems co come down to
    the founh quarter. Last Saturday's
    match•up with Holy Cross was no
    di.ffcrem. lied with dle Crusaders
    through three qu.1.ners, the Raid~
    crs dominated the finaJ 15 minme.s,
    scoring 13 points and allowing
    none on d1eir way to a 27-14 win
    in Worcester.
    The Raiders had rwo long drives
    in 1he fourth quarter, tocaling 23
    pl-ays- and cht.wing up over nine
    minutes of clock time, with bod1
    drives resuhing in field goals by
    first-year kickc:r J:tcob Stein. Senior
    lind,ockcr Jared Nep,'s 62-yard inccrccption return for a touchdown
    with 4:51 t·o go in the fllnC S(-ak-d
    dle vicrory.
    O n the offensive: s-ide of the
    ball, running back Jordan Scon
    set a new s1.andard for firs t-year
    runners ,u Colgate. Coming off
    three oumanding performances
    in his first thrt.-c collegi:ne staris,
    Scott carried the ball 45 times for
    222 yards on ,he ground - a firstyear record. The Patriot League acknowledged the Hyatr,villc, MD,
    na1ive for the fourth consecutive
    time as the league's Rookie of the

    Week.
    "It feds fine, I gum, 10 have rhe
    honor for four consecutive weeks,"
    $con said. "Ir has not bttn an in•
    dividual clfon. The cnrirc offensive
    line is playing great, as well as che
    fullbacks. I jusr feel fortunate chat
    (head coach Dick! Biddle has given
    me the opponunity to contribute to

    the ttam."
    Wirh $con pounding rhc Holy
    Cro« dd'cru< and rhc Raiders oon•
    croUing rhe line of scrimmage, Colgate held a I 3•minure :idvanr,ge in
    rime of po5SCSSion. Nepo budcd rhc
    nm-year's oonrributions to rhe Col-

    gate auack.
    "Our offense demands thar
    backs be phy,ical, and that's what
    Jordan is, physical," he said. "Our
    offense will pound and pound
    until the end of the game., and to
    have a running back that is there
    for you in the fourth quarter is
    .
    quire an asset.

    .

    THE REAL BIG BEN: The running game was the key to the Raider victory over Holy Cross. Senior running back Ben Evans was one member of the running attack. contributing 17 yards on three carries.
    p hoco by Cyrnhia

    Senior quanerbaclt and co-caprain Mike Saraceno rumed in an..
    orhcr solid pcrfonnantt against the
    Crusaders, completing half of his
    26 pass ancmpu for 224 yards and
    a rouchdown, He also rushed for 27

    yards.
    Holy Cross scored on irs nm offensive play from scrimmage with
    a 48-yard bomb from quancrback
    Josh O'Neil, but ~ n o answered
    righr back by nnding sophomore
    rcccivor Eric Burke for a 2 I-yard
    row:hdown at rhc 9:45 mark in rhe
    nm quan«.
    i"here was no concern," Seo«
    said of Holy Cross early scorc, "because we knew as an offcn.sc that
    we could su=fuily move rhc ball
    against rheir defense."
    $con capped the next Raider
    rouchdown drive wirh a rwo-yard
    run to give Colgate a sevcn•point
    second-quancr advamagc. Bur rhc
    Crusadm' 47-yard execution of
    the tw(),,minute drill tied the game
    again jUSI bcforc halftime.

    But while the Raider defcn,c
    held Holy Cross in check for d,c
    entire s«ond half. the game was still
    in question until Ncpa's big play.
