The entire Colgate community is invited
to attend What promi.se.s to be a beautiful
ceremony in 1he Colga1e Memorial Chapel
this afternoon ar 4:30 p.m. Toe ~cn1 will
cclebr.uc the formal induaion of 26 new
members from thC Class of 2006 into the
Konosioni Senior Hon6r Society,
.,The ccrc:1nony is rcalfy a chance for us
to pass down our traditions to those we are
inducting into the ,ocicty," Konosioni coPresident .senior Dave E. Thomas sa.id ... It
will be traditional, but not without a sur·
prise on Friday. We will each shone some·
thing 1hat we know about each inductee so
that will make it a little more personal."
Part of 1he significanc.c of the c-vcnt is the
tradition it has followed, which da,e back almost seven dcc:adcs. For those who rtmcm•
ber ,he c.rc:mony 1ha1 symbolically wc:1comed them into the Colgate community
during 1hcir first-year. the inilial pan of the
induction c.cremony will seem familiar. 1hc
procession, led by current Konosioni mcm·
bcrs robed and carrying torches, will be-gin
at the Hall of Presidents due to construction
near Taylor Lake, proeccd up the Persson
Hall stair$ and wind around the academic
-quad before making its way into the chapel.
lnduc1ecs will enter through an archway
created by cu.rrent members, as they had
done as first-years during orientation. Af.
tcr the ceremony, a reception will be hdd
down.stairs for participams to meet, con·
verse and sign the Konosioni book.
Fificcn women and 11 men were ch0$Cn
by their Konosioni peer$ for their dc-mon•
strated commitment to serving the community and preserving the rich tr.aditions of
Colgate. Inductees include Aubrey Graham,
Becky Armstrong, Cad.sea Swank, Christine
Duncan, Darcy Sencdict,JCMic Slenktl', Erin
Grundy, JCMica Winans., Krissy Williams,
LNa\'een HuS,$,lin, Michelle Cooper, Tiffany

pea at Colgate or the Hamilton communi·
ty," co-President of Konosioni senior Dave
Birken said, "Together, they create a group
of really diverse people wlto have touched
Colga,e across the board."
The new elm includC$ Link Leaders.,
Resident Advisors, athletes, Gr«k members. Office of Admission volunteers and
those invoh·ed with the COVE and Out·
door F..duca1ion programs .
.,hS a great opporcunity to intt"r:act with
people on carnpus who are other Icade£$ 1hcy
might not have known before," Birken ~id,
"just b«ausc their activities are so diverse."
Thomas concurred that it was a great
opporu.mity for members involved in
completely different activities to CO·
ordinate events thal integrate their cespcctive groups.
The duties of Konosioni do not include
simply pre.serving old tr:.aditions but invol\•e
making new ones as well. lhe current class
is training the nt"w members in 1he knowledge and skills that will rrcparc 1hem for
their roles .u member$ of Konosioni next
year, something nt"w for 1hc group. Because
the society is comprised or a completely
new class every yc-.ir, current members will
immediately be-gin to take ac1ivc roles in
the society this scmt.-ster to ensure that new
members have a firm understanding of the
purpose of Konosioni. This me.ans not only
anending mtttings but also helping with
the a,,nua.l charity auction, which benefits
non-profit organiz.,tions in J-lamihon and
the surrounding areas.
Another new aspect that the Class of
2005 group has been working on is building connections between iu network of
alumni and current members, spanning a
couple thousand mem~rs.
·Kon0$ioni has personally lx-tn more
than 1 cwr expected," Birkcn s:aid, as he reflected on his experience. "A lot of people sec
it as just an honor, but they don't re;aliu that
it's also a c:ommi1men1. You'rt nOl jwt rcccivi11g a.n award, you're h«:oming part of a
community 1h31 expects o:rtain things from
you and that you take an active role in."
Both prc.!iidems are pleased with the new
class of 26 men and women and feel confi·
dent that Konosioni will be in good h:arlds
after they pas$ on their torches.
·My advice 10 them is to enjoy them·
selves,'' 'Thomas said. "'This is a great opportunity for them to do as much as they
want for the community. I hope that they
arc creati\'C and do thing.Ii they enjoy doing
because I think that this would make them
a.II the more succeS$ful."
Birkcn agreed.
•I'm extremely excited :ibou1 the new
claS.$," he s.i.id. '"I think they're grca1 people.
Pu1 together, they're going h> be an amuing
group. My hope for them is tha1 they arc
not only able 10 keep what wt"\·e done this
year but also to add on 10 it - to rt"ally push

Five people died, and more

Friday, February 25. This attack
wu the first since l~ders of Palestine and lsr.ad agreed in early
February to make joint efforts

Amid Popular Protcsu
Tens of thousands of pro·

Lebanese government to resign.
The protests were sparked by
thC
.~·'/I
the assassination of opposition
leader .ind former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri by a car bomb
two weeks ago in a plo1 that, ac•
cording to opposition leaders,
was planned by Syria.
The crowd demanded ,hat
Syria remove its troops from
the country. In response, Syria
promisf'd to move it.s troops
closer to the border, away from
the heart of the country.
The Syrian military has
maintained a presc.-nee in Lebanon since 1976. F'or the bccter part of the last 30 years,
up 10 30,000 troops have been
sta1ioncd in 1hc country and
played a major role in ending
the civil war in. 1990 and main•
taining peace. After 2000, calls
for the departure of troops became louder. In 2004, the UN
passed a resolution asking the

Halley s,id 1h01 while Colg:ue',

Wien«k said that th<" United
S•••eo Coun of Appeal, for ,he Second Circuit reversed this case and

that the appellate court told the dis·

But the other side is not satisfied
with this understanding. Conan
pointed toward an even l:ucr ruling

-ibis case simply mirrors the

From this dispute, what emerges is a dislinclly legal conundrum
- each side wanting to in1erprc1

which ran out of money before they

Campus Safety: More
Aggravating Than Helpful
BY FRANK BADALATO
~tttndy I found a s1ack of makeshift
papers out.side of my fnternity. These cr:1te
paper pamphlcu looked like my elementary
school paper and had "AntiTnut 101" on
the cover. They were ref?rding 1hc De.ha
Kappa Epsilon lawsuil. The piss poor qual•
ity of the paper didn't bo1her me nearly as
much a.s the contenr. h reads like it was
written by a 70--yea.r-old bigot. The opening
page echoed Senator McCarthy stating that
we need to abolish the "Soviet-style policies
of college administrators.· Tue rest of the
papfor a return to conS("rwtive norms on campus. First of all, nobody put a gun to your
he.ad to come to Colgate. It is a Jibe-ml ans
school that exposes students to pcrspective.s

media and the rest ofAmerica. A libcr.a.l arts

manner the fraternity is demonstrating
the same conSC'rv.:i.tivc practices which
it holds so dearly. Hiring an advertising

Colgate's practices. Colgate i.s one of the
top 20 liberal ans schools in the country;
it must be doing something right. The las1
thing we need is 2,500 George W. Bush's

/\',..,, Editor
Choosing a copic for the cdimr's column
is nc,.·cr i-asy. let like to US(" chis opportunity
10 vent my growing frus11111ion with Campus Safety. Throughout my three years
at Colgate, it has be-come clear to me that
Campus Safety is far more aggravating :and
irritlting tha.n it is helpful. I a.nnot spc:ak for
the emirc ctmpus; however I believe th;u thb
scnti1ncnt is shared by many studenu.
Fir1t, we should examine the posi1ivc.fcaturo of Campus Safety and ex.-,mine the
beneficial ways that this organiza1ion SCf\'C$
the school. Campus Safc.1y's most helpful
functions include transponing injured Stu·
dcms and u1tlodting doors. If Camp•O w~
replaced by an ambulance and locksmith
I think man1 srndentS, including myself.
would be quite content. As Nc..-ws Edito of
11M Mnroo11-N~ws for over a year, I have
~d many Campus Safety Blotters and I
am con.s1anily ama1.c:-d by the fri\·olow t:u.ks
that they complete. Fire al;irms, fraudulent
ID uS(" and students with alcohol oonnicute
about hair of all C'lmpus Safety :activity.
1-fowcver, my main point is 001 that Campus Safety is entirely useless, but that they arc
far more of a hindrance th:1.n a help. Maybe
I am just bim·r. but here have been some of
my experiences with Campus Safety.
This week I drove up to James B. Colgate
Hall to pay a $25 paoong fine that I had rt·
ceh·ed the prcviow week. I spent abou1 10
minutes with the Univcrsity accountant and
paid the fine. When I left 1he building, I
discovered a br:1nd new red :rnd white paper stuck underneath my windshidd wip(r.
Cranicd, I W"5 parked up the hill hcfor,,
3:30p.m, however I was 1here for le$$ than
IO minul<..'S paying a parking fine, and with
the brutal weather, walking from Parke.rApanmems was not an option. Does anyone
really know where the money collt"Ctt.-d for
fines goes? Campus S;a;foty is so cager to wri1e
tickets, 1hat I cm only assume: th.iit the mon•
ey must go to an extremely worthy cause.
You may be thinking, he's just biuer
because he got fined, and I guess that's un•
dc:rs1andable 1 however let me describe another imer-;iction I had with Camp-0. As
a member of Sccoe Design, we often need
access co our classroom in the evening and
Campw Safety is supposed to unlock the
door for students. I called their office and
asked if I could be let into the classroom to
work on my project, however thq claimed
not to have the paper that listed students
who arc- enrolled in the class. While I had
to be allowed imo the- classroom scvcraJ
times before, I understood their grounds for
rejecting my request. However, I informed
them that there was a list on the door that
had the names of all srndc-nts who .should
be granted access. I brought the list up to
the office which dearly had my name on it,
however my dastardly plol 10 gain access to
my clwroom and work on my project w:u
foiled aga..in when an officer noticed that the
list wa.s for the F.all semester. Clearly 1his was
simply a mistake, and whoever wrote up the
Jin dungtd the: student's names, hut forgot to
update the lead par.ag~h. This burcaucr.atic
nightmare could not be resolved and I w.u refused :a~ to my dassroom and could not
complete my project.
Again, yoo may be thi11king that I'm just
rcs,mful. I shouldn't cxpca Campus Safety
to have a little compassion or sympathy for
my dilemmas becaUSC" thc..-y should just fol.
low the lc..·ner of the law. AJ a member of
Kappa Delta Rho, I wi1ncsscd first hand the
deceitful, authoritative.- side ofCampus Safety.
When KDR was being invatig,ucd for ruz.
ing, each member of the new cw., was called
in and questioned. Some were read their Miranda rights and ,old 1ha1 ,hey faced possible
expulsion. First, docs Campus Saf'ety ~
have the :authority 10 Mir.andizc a Student?
Second, they treated me and SC\'cral others
in a condescending manner and attempted ..

unprofCWonal, dishonorable and amateurish.
As a student who 1w never needed 10 be
tr.tnsportcd by Campus Safety to the hospital,
my only positive interactions have.- been when
I locked myselfout of my dorm room. How•
c
ever, in my opinions., its dennitdy not worth

that U\is organization is far more aggravating

SGA's Letter In Support Of Take Advantage of Colgate's
Year-End Banquets
Tomljanovich Is Comical
0 The
Editor:
I was surprised at the- audacity of the
udcnt Government Assocfa.tion's Lc-ucr
not know ProfC$$0r Tomljanovich. I'm sure
he is a "'tremendous ~ t to Colgate."' as the
leucr claims. But might the review board be
interested. in things other than •the friend-
The E.ditor in last week's issue. In the let-
ships [Prof. Tomljanovkh) has formed on
' ,he SCA protests the dcnia.l of tenure
Assistant Professor of Econon\ia Ma.re
the hill and in the surrounding Hamilton
community?" M ight there also be a limited
number of professors to whom the boa.rd
may grant tenure? And funhcrmorc, do we
really want tenured professors who arc going to be distracted by their friends?
After undermining its uwn objective,
the SCA's letter claims (in a moment of
delicious irony), "We app.arcntly cannot
be trusted to cw.luate our panners in intcllccc:uaJ pursuiu." This is the cue for admini.str.uors to nod their heads vigorously in
ag.rcemeru, The SGA can rest assured that
its letter has perpetuated the image of the
volatile nudcnt who is so captiv:ucd by the
romance of protest that he forgcu he has
1101hing to say.
If the lener was indeed. intended as a.

Tomljanovkh, but in the same letter
nfd,5(S that it .. lS no1 privy to the specifia
J1hc review process.• I want to bclicvc- this
wis inccndcd as a joke (as it would seem to
""ily 1hc hc:uty laugh that escaped me as
I rcaJ the letter), but the profe'$$ional lan-
ge and serious tone of the letter seem
10 suggest othcrwiK. The.sc qualities, :Q any
English major will ?'o)'cd by satirists (Mark Twain come$ to
~ind) in order to amplify 1he abourdity of
ihc subject. [ applaud the SGA's courage in
publishing a satirie2.I letter in the Maro()n-
if I ever undcnakc to write such
i lrucr myself, I will ccrtainJy be consulting
,\''1/.'1, and
,he SGA's generous model.
h's no wonder student groups - and the
srudcnt publications that give voioc to them
- uc rarely taken scriou$ly by professors and
Jdministrators. The narrow-mindedness of
die SCA~ lcucr is a painful confirmation
traits often attributed to young people;
k)ttmost among these is the inability to d istinguish bclW«n pusion and policy. I do
joke, I apologize, and would urge Admissions to consider distributing the SGA's
letter to prospective Colgate students as a
demonstration of 1he student body's fine
sense of humor.

To The Editor:
As a Colgate alumnus -and current
member of tht administration at Col·
gate, J would like to encourage all currcm
students to take advamagc of the many
year-end banqueu thac will be hosted by
various clubs and organi1.a1ions on campus
during the months of March and April.
These functions provide a unique opportunity for members of the Colgate family to
come together and acknowledge the many
levels of diversity that exist in our campus
community.
During my years as a Colgate student,
I always 1hought of myself as being open-
minded and believed 1ha1 I iook foll advantage of many opportunitid to step
outside of my comfort ronc and rn try
something new. Despite my greatest cfforu, there remains a plethora of things
I never experienced and it has taken me
six years in this wonderful environment to
truly undcr$tand the importance of stepping outside of one's comfon tone to truly
embrace the subtleties of life.
This past Saturday, I experienced an
epiphany of sorts while attending the an-
nual South Asian Cul1ural C lub (SACC)
banquet. First, I would like to congratulate 1hc SACC for the wonderful job it did
in hosling the event. It is safe 10 ~y that
everyone who braved the snow and made
1heir way co the l·fall of Presidents cxpc·
rienccd an eye-opening and enchanting
evening.
The banquet itself consisted of more
than t he simple breaking of bread, as all
auendecs were treated 10 :i.n incredible as.sortmcnt of performances :and were asked
to face a number of serious social issues.
Most importantly. I would like to express
my enjoyment in taking p:art in something
I doubt I would have experienced as an
undergraduate as I was consumed by the
1hings for which [ had always been most
passionate, namely academics and athlct·
ics.
I will close by saying that despite feeling
somewhat sheepish that i1 took me so long
to re-aliie what wonderful opportunities
lay right in from of me, I will remain commined 10 ma.king up for Ion time. Please
do not make the same mistake I did - take
adv;antage of these opportunities while you
can; you will not be disappointed.

Before me, on my desk, sits a package
of information from 1he President of the
umni Corpora1ion of Phi Dmains my proxy vote for the sale of the
i Ocha Theta chap1cr house 10 Colga1e. I
voting in favor of the sale of 1he chapter
use to Colgate.
I suppose that, by not oonsidering any of
c alternatives proposed by the fraternities
nd sororities at Colgate, 1he University can
tllim a victory in this m0$1 recent battle for
futu re of th0$C fraternities and sorori..
Cong.ratulatfons! The U niversity's reto comp romise on this issue appears
o have worked in its favo r. H owever, I too
nfuse to comp romise o n a n um ber of is·
"'"'· all of which follow:
• That my belief that the University intends to de.suoy its fraternity and sorority
chapters. This process began when I was an
undergraduate with the inceptio1\ of Soph•
omore rush, and it condnues in the NVRE.
Once the University owns 1he chapter
houses, [ have no doubt that the end of the
fraternity and sorority chapters a, Colgate
is inevitable.
• Thai my belief that the University is
acting prejudicially towards all fratemit iC$
and sororities in response 10 the misdeeds
and misjudgments of individuals. My own
chap1cr, Phi Ocha Theta, has been alcoholfree since 1hc year 2000 aftd has demon•
stratcd on many occasions that it has mad e
a C:Ommitment co re1urning to the values
espoused by its found ing b ro thers. It has
maintained a GPA well above the all ..men's
and all-fraternity average. It has found ways
10 rcc;ruit 56 new members in the lase rwo
years, d espite the ban o n alcohol within
1he chap1cr house. Despite this, Phi Ocha
Theta is required to sell iu chapter house.
The prejudice demonstrated in thi.s decision by the University is as obvious as it is
unfair. Would the University, upon finding
a minoricy student guihy of a major infrac·
tion of i1.s rules, decide to impose sanctions
upon all members of that person's herit,gc
who attend Colgate? Yet, somehow, all fr.tternitics and sororities arc forced to sell due
to the actions of particular individuals.
• My intent to disc.us.s Colgate's culture
of political correctness with anyone who is
interested in applying to Colgate and sccks
my opinion as an alumnus. As a teacher
at an independent day school. I remain in
contact with many alumni and alumnae
who arc applying to colleges and universities. Rest-assured. I will strongly discour·
age 1hem from applying 10 Colgaie. I will
strongly urge them to consider applying to
colleges a.nd universities that do not hold
an antagonistic: bias against fraternities and
sororities.
• My belief 1ha1 my experiences as an
und ergraduate member of Phi Delta Thcca
were anything less than positive and enriching.
• My belief that the c..-d.ucuion of nearly
3,000 imelligem smdcms is being held hostage by the demands of those radical professors at Colgate who sec 1hcir ultr-a-libcral
agendas as taking priority over d iscuMion,
debate or dissent. An illuscr:uivc anecdote:
during my junior year at Colg-ate. one of
my professors informed the class th.1t we
would investigate the ways in which fra ternities were similar to the Nazi party of
Germany.
• My belief that Colgate is no longer
worthy of my financial support.
• My belief that my viCW$, along with
the views of thousands of o ther students,
parents, and alumni/ae, will be c:uegorically ignored by the administration and Board
of Trustees of Colgate, as they have been so
often in the past.

Let's consider a well•known couple on

President and Vice Pres arc not romantically linked (at lea,1 10 my knowledge) so
their relationship isn't directly applic;a.blc

Deliberating relationship issues takes

I
Not a Marxist!
SY KEVIN GLASS
a.,, ef2()(J7
Th~ proclaimed the actor portraying
Marx at last Wednesday's showing of
·ard Zinn's ptay, Marx in Soho at the
Thc-atcr. This event, co•spon.sored by
RE 152 (The Challenge of Modernity)
1hc Sophomore Experience, was a fic.tionc-man play in which Marx is sem
, rrom heaven 10 try to clear hiJ name,
The ae1or portraying Marx' denial that
tJ a Marxist got me to thinking that this
r,ally would be somcthing special.
11h 1his one line, I thought that he would
.och into a di:uribe of how people over
years ha\'C misimcrprctcd Marxism an
hC' would discuss a radical new wa.y of
:npreting his writings - perhaps an cm:asis on the humanity, not the politia, of
Wl,i.st wrhings. Needless to say, I was very
ul and excited about this performance
r hearing these words.
Unfonunatcly, my hopes were dashed, as
.actor portr:aying Marx started discuss·
run-o(.chc,.mill critidsm.s o( historical
pies of f.tilcd communism, the Soviet
'nion being the primary offender. The play
ent ratcd into cxaaly what J expected:
actor ponr.tying Marx simply reiccr.ucd

Don't gee me wrong; chis w;u: a very
,wrirten and wdl~performcd play. Marx
cu portn.ycd as very down-10.-canh and
co1cd family man and father, prob.bly
dy the image that Zinn, a noted Socia.I•
historian, had in mind whc~ he wrote
• pla;·. This is what is so misleading. Thi.s
portrayal of Marx as an ordinary f.-mily
u, struggling ,o get by ironically pl•ys ,o
pie's affection for working-class heroes;
Marx in Marx in Soho is the Amcrian
·wn in action.
lherc have been many rcccnt pop..cul·
lll't phenomena that portray extremely
· ideology as very reasonable. Fight
bis a very good ex:a.mplc of this. Once
again, Fight Club is a g.rc--at movie if taken
for what it is: an interesting srudy ofstrange
social cffecu of extremely unlikely situa·
tioru. The anarchist message of the movie is
a side note; nothing more. It is when people
min to buy in to che ridiculous dcnruaivc
ideology that the movie becomes danger·
ow.
Marx in $q/,o draws on supposed 'ra·
tional' ideas chat Mane had brought up in
hi.s writings. Some of them a.re deliberately
misleading. The actor portraying Marx dis·
cw.scd, for example, lhe govemment cxccu•
tion.s in the Soviet Union that were carried
out in the name of Communism. He then
denies ,hat Marx ever advoc:atc-d capital
punishment. Perhaps this is true; yet one
e2nno1 deny the overall forceful tone 1hat
Marx urges the proletariat 10 take in The
Comm;.mist M:rnifcsto.
Although M,nc never specifically tells
the proletariat to revolt using violent means,
thC'rc a.re many instances whC"rc Marx uses
phrases like wing •despotic inroads"' to
revolt, the support of "'every revolution•
ary movement against social and political
order,. and the •forcible overthrow of all
existing social conditions." Marx may not
advocate his new Communist government
using capital punishment, but there is no
doubt that he will support a bloody •nd
violent revolution to get there.
The Ma.rx of the play also discuSSts chcl 871 Commune in Paris, and how it is the
most gloriow example of Communism at
work in hi.story. This is probably actually
true. However, it was not cx:u:tly a gloriow
society. The Mane in the play, of course, de•
.scribes a Commllhist paradise that existed
during this lime, and that it was crushed
because th~ govc1 nmcnu of the world could
not allow such a shining example o( Ma.rx•
ism to exist. This is stretching the truth, to
say the least.
The Pari.sian Commune had the Nation,.

cal climaClinton came out ofobscurity and defeated
Bush and fi. Ross Perot in the generaJ clcccion.
Now on to the son, George W. Bus.h's career in business and politics was vastly dif.
ferent from hi.s father's. The Connttticut
born, Yale and Harvard educaccd son of a
millionaire moved to west Texas and de•
cided on a run for the House or Representatives in the l:atc 1970s. Bush wis soundly
defeated and did not enter the political
arena for a decade and a half.
Bush bounced around in the oil indus•
group of investors which bought Major
Lc,ague Bas,ball's Texas Rang,rs . In 1994,
Bush defcatt-d Ann Richard, a popular
Texas Democrat, for governor. As Governor, Bush was a shrewd politician and won
r«lection by a landslide in 1998. By c,uly
1999, he wa, S<runner to the 2000 Republican prt-sidential nomination.
As Prt-sident, Bush abandoned the
policies of fiscal prudence and responsibly
that his father supported. A trillion dollar surplus, inherited from the Clinton
Administration w:as squandered on a cax
cut benefiting weahhy Americans. Bush's
foreign policies were also a departure from
his father's. The .administration did not
sign the Kyoto Accords, pulled out of the
World Court and the ABM crcaty. h was
clear from the beginning that George W.
Bush was not the coalition builder of his
father's caliber.
In the months leading up to the Iraq
War, Bush's "you're with us or you're againn
us.. mancra alienated longtime western Eu-
ropea.n allies. Wi1hout a UN resolution
and with a pathetic coalition, the US with
the Brils in 10w, invaded and dc:pos,-d Saddam Hussein's regime.
Now~you may be asking: why 1hc his~
10ry lc:sson? George W. Bush has rejec1ed
the politial le-gacy of his father at every
opportunity. Tax cuu, irucrnationali:ml,
deficit reduction - W. Bush has caken
greatly di(fcrent paths. \Y/. Bush C'ff'c."C1ivcly

2004 Republican National Convention,
where George H.W. Bu~h. one of1wo living Republican presidents, w.u no1 e\tcn

publican P:my w;b determined co .separate
father and son. TI1e.· p.my wished 10 di!)tancc itself from the moderate cider Bush.
In 2001, G,-orge W. Bush d«ided to
abandon his promise of "CompaMionate
Conservatism" :md institute right wing
policies akin 10 those of Ronald Reagan.
The moderate Republicanism of George:
H. W. Bush W2S rejected in favor of a r«kless :and radical brand or government.
Bush Sr. can be seen a.s the last moderate, the last inRuential voice or reason in
the Republican P:any. Sadly, his voice has
been silenced - likely forever. h's been replaced with a d ivhive, hard line brand of
conservative Republicanisrn th:at has alienaced progressives and sent this country
back into reckless deficits and dangerous
unilateralism.
As fam ily the two men may be close,
but as politicians their ideologies and legacie.s couldn't be further apart.

Senate would like to congratulate
Senator of the Month for February - Taylor Buonocore.
***This past week at the Senate meeting, 3/1/05 ...
1.) Tim Mansfield and Joe Leo of Residential Education presented
Senate with the plans for the new townhouses to be finished by
Fall 2005 for students. These townhouses will be located on the
south side of Community Memorial Hospital, and there will be
total of seven buildings, each equipped with two separate
townhouses. Residential Education is requesting applications of 12
students, though each townhouse can hold up to 16, and their
office is currently accepting applications!
2.) Senate unanimously voted to approve The Angling Society as
an official SGA recognized fly-fishing student network. Contact
Evan LeBon if interested.
3.) Senate is continuing to look into the best representation
options for the student body in order to increase the number of
Senators representing students. An amendment to the Constitution
has been tabled to allow for a more in-depth look at the proposal.
Contact your current senator with any questions or comments!

visually dynamic and verbally comic in a most astringent, sub1le
style that is uniquely Beckett's. The W.B. Yeats play, C,uhlun

A Tribute to Hunter S. Thompson
BY DEB CHARNEY
M,n,«m-N-Suff
Hunter S. Thompson, ,he pioneer of"gon•
zo journalism;' took his own life on February
20th, in his Colorado compound. Thompson,
who died al the ogc of67, was associated with
the journalism movement of the 1960s charactcritcd by pert0nal, often audc and ovcnly
honest, approaches to $1oriC$. Thompson will
be n:mcmbcrcd for his unique writingsrylc, a.,
well as his pert0nifica1ion of 19<>0s California
counterculture.
Although he once described himsdf as "a
San Francisco Boy," Thompson w:u born in
Kentucky on July 18, 1937. He gr.iduated
from Louisville Male High School, bu, did
not rcccivc his diploma, :u he- was in jail at rhc
time of his gr.adu:ation ceremony. Thompson
then purcha.$00 a mail order doctorate dcgrtt
after which he began 10 refer 10 himself as
"Or. ThomJ>$0n," Throughout all of ,his,
Thompson explored his journalistic potential
by a,vcring the 1964 Free Speech Movement
at the University of California al Bcrlwas there he began to complctdy immerse
himsdfin hippie subcuhurc. ThomJ>$0n was
an instant celebrity afier his publica1ion of
previously unspeakably wild cvAngrls, and it was soon evident that he was
not only writing of substance- abuse and
subculture rebellion, but was living that life

drove his hippie persona into the spotlight.
