Rees Residents Complain ofMissing Items Following Fire

Ally GualtieriLayout Editor

This past week, Rees 1 residents happily returned hometo their newly renovated

rooms and reclaimed their belong-ings from the various storagesspaces in JPR. As they unpacked,however, several students were un-able to locate items. From Playstationgames to stereo equipment to co-logne, the items span a wide rangeof uses and monetary values.

Jeff Talbot ’04, went so far as tofile a report with the Geneva PoliceDepartment for his missing stereoequipment, 173 CDs, and portableCD player. David Szentesy ’04 com-plained of missing supplements,while Kevin Burke ’04 claims to havelost upwards of 100 CD’s, $400 ormore of Playstation games, cologne,and his brand-new, $500 Palm Pilot.CD’s seem to have been a popularitem, as several William Smith stu-dents were named as having losttheir collections. The difficult thingabout figuring out what is missing,students say, is that one doesn’tnecessarily realize something is miss-ing until it is needed or looked for.As Jeff Talbot ’04 summed up themood of the hall, “We were told thateverything we left here would be safeand takencare of, andnow stuff ’smissing.”

Salman Rushdie, foundingpresident and creator of International Parliament for Writ-

ers, writes, “The art of literature re-quires, as an essential condition, thatthe writer be free to move betweenhis many countries as he chooses,needing no passport or visa, makingwhat he will of them and of himself.”

A relatively recent organization,International Parliament for Writers(abbreviated IPW) began in 1994 af-ter the assassination of Algerianwriter Tahar Djaout. Subsequently,an oppositional appeal signed by300 global writers initiated the orga-nization. IPW principally stated the“need for a new international struc-ture capable of organizing a concretesolidarity with persecuted writers”.A “Cities of Asylum Network” wascreated, promoting worldwide coa-lition for writers. Besides asylum,IPW promised to afford writers with“a chance to enjoy full citizenship”,as well as declaring “investigationand research on the new forms ofcensorship.” Rushdie’s Declarationof Independence [excerpted above]later became the group’s “charter”.The organization formed its ownwebsite and biannual newsletterAUTODAFE, which is published ineight languages and unifies “world-renowned writers with those who arebeing silenced by censorship, Im-prisonment or threats.”

On December3rd, Ping will make his first of sev-eral appearances at HWS, along withChinese poet Bei Dao, who has beenawarded asylum in the past.

She will also beorganizing Dao’s poetry readings aswell as Ping’s visits to HWS.

Students from a variety ofbackgrounds filled the diningroom with one purpose in mind:free, good food. Clearly, no onewas disappointed in this area;the buffet was lined with all differentethnic foods. The choices rangedfrom lasagna to stir fry to daal. Mostpeople enjoyed more than “a taste”of all this wonderful food.

vided a variety of ethnic entertain-ment. Cathe Corbett delivered abeautiful a cappella performance ofWhitney Houston’s “Greatest Loveof All,” a truly inspiring song, espe-

cially for valuing one’s culture andindividualism. We were entertainedwith a stunning country-reggaedance performed by Lastina Fosterand Kellie McGraw. Lervan Johnyread aloud an original poem entitled,“A Plea to My Generation, a Mes-sage to Myself.” She profoundly ex-

pressed the feelings of an African-American in our generation, prais-ing the accomplishments of ances-tors and encouraging her peers tobe grateful. The mood picked up

drastically with an energeticdance performance by fourcouples called CumbiarengueMix. The night ended with astunning demonstration ofMartial Arts by a black-beltmember of ASU.

Needless to say, studentsleft Saturday feeling well nour-ished and culturally enriched.I was quite impressed with theevening and felt privileged to

have the opportunity to experienceso many different cultures on onecampus. We represent not just dif-ferent colors, but different foods,dancing, music, literature, language,and so much more. Thanks toPAALO for putting on such a de-lightful evening!

The Herald OPINION/EDITORIAL November 16, 20014

I stroll down the cafeteria walk-way to the lowest level and select anempty table with a clear view throughthe windows. Students quickly be-gin to claim and occupy the neigh-boring tables, but do not approachme. I continue to rush through mymeal, for despite the fact that I amone amongst many,I feel dejected andestranged by thecrowd. As I ran-domly glance atnearby students, Inotice that they of-ten eat with thesame company. I re-flect on the con-spicuous and de-pressing fact that nosuch clique has “ac-cepted” me. Afterfloating from cliqueto clique at the start of the schoolyear, the various groups of studentsapparently chose to isolate me foran unknown reason that continuesto confound my baffled mind. Andas I finish my meal with a gulp ofchocolate milk, I consider the cruelimmaturity of such behavior. But aquiet voice in the back of my mindwarns that the expression of suchcondescending opinions would of-fend many of my peers, even if theyunderstood the insensitivity of theirbehavior.

I alone confront the cool autumnbreeze as I thrust open the door andbegin the walk back to my dormroom. I pass many cliques, colors,and characters, but the diversitymatters not, for whether they areblack or white, athletic or aesthetic,my existence remains ignored. As Iround the corner to my dorm, mymind, despite a conscious effort ofsuppression, raises the hauntingquestions once again; why is it thatmy social interaction is reduced tolistening to Pearl Jam MP3s? Why isit that I have to be thankful for thefact that my mind continues to as-

sure me of my dignity and characterinstead of plunging into an abyss ofdepression? Why is it that I feel asthough my peers mock my expres-sive nature and despise those whodeviate from the social norm?

While others exhausted theirdays with video games and televi-sion, I spent hours thinking and ob-serving, forgiving and condemning.Once a firm opinion of this social

scene began to slowly crystallize, Idesired to converse with someone;a fellow student, faculty member,parent, it did not matter whom. I sim-ply desired another perspective thatcould question and doubt my own.However, the few peers that I ap-proached, while acknowledging mythoughts, seemed to not care for theissue and, in fact, soon after decidedthat my presence was not worthy ofbeing recognized. I found this reac-tion to not only be quite ironic, butalso so disturbing that I decided toexperience college life elsewhere. Iconjectured that this stifling atmo-sphere could not possibly exist atanother institution, and if I couldexperience a different college, then Iwould know through comparisonthat this college was as socially re-pressive as I thought it to be.

So I spent a weekend with a dramastudent attending nearby SyracuseUniversity, and during that weekendI met more friendly and sympatheticpeople than I had during my disheart-ening months at Hobart and WilliamSmith. The students were interestedrather than critical, receptive rather

than aloof, and modest rather thanconceited. Free expression was notan oddity, but a natural way of life. Idid not find fraternities segregatingor cliques categorizing. For the firsttime since my departure from highschool I was treated as an individualinstead of a social object. When Iwalked through the halls people ac-tually acknowledged my existenceby saying “hello,” and upon meet-

ing me they weretruly interested inwho I was instead ofwho I knew and whatclique I represented.During my lengthybus ride back toGeneva, the realiza-tion that I was return-ing to this cold, un-receptive college at-mosphere had ampletime to locate andoverwhelm my fad-ing happiness.

Upon my return to Hobart andWilliam Smith, I could not work, re-lax or even eat. I yearned for an-swers. The fact that I did not knowwhy this social structure existsplagued my fatigued mind and pes-tered my body’s ebbing strength.Why would people desire to ex-clude? Why would people create asocial structure dependent on socialstatus? Why would people act insuch insensitive and close-mindedmanners? Despite the days andnights that I had spent observingstudents and pondering these samequestions, I had yet to develop sat-isfactory answers. And then an in-teresting but seemingly absurdthought spurred my reeling mind. Atfirst I strove to disprove and discreditthe thought, for it seemed both ri-diculous and condescending. Butthe thought’s own truth repelled myfeeble attempts, and I no longer carefor those who will be offended; forthey should know what a foolish andcruel game they play.

As I randomly glance at nearby students, I notice thatthey often eat with the same company. I reflect on theconspicuous and depressing fact that no such cliquehas “accepted” me. After floating from clique to cliqueat the start of the school year, the various groups ofstudents apparently chose to isolate me for an unknownreason that continues to confound my baffled mind.

I know it may sound like aterrible thing to say, but I‘m tell-ing you from experience, it cankeep you from getting speedingtickets.

I never wore my seat belt, itused to confine me too much. Ineed some room when I’m driv-ing. I need to be able to change aCD or take a sip of coffee withouthaving some annoying strap detain-ing me.

In my car, if someone tried tobuckle-up, I would yell at them.“What you don’t trust me, you thinkI’m gonna crash.” Then I woulddrive a hundred miles an hour andthat seatbelt would go right back on.

But there is a problem with thisfast driving that is beyond safety,it’s those damn police. I swear it’sageism, but they always seemed tocatch me speeding. I was pulled overabout fifteen times in three quartersof a year. That’s bad news; Bad newsfor me, bad news for my folks, badnews for my insurance, and bad newsfor my bank account. But there isone thing that kept me behind asteering wheel…I never wore myseat belt.

See, when other people get pulled

over, they can cry, or show a littleleg, or give a PBA card, even getaway with saying they have diar-rhea. I couldn’t do any of this. I waspretty much left with two options:(1.) I could try and sweet talk the of-ficer; tell him I just stopped payingattention-had a bad day. But thatcan only take you so far. (2.) Mysecond option was to grovel; cry andbeg to let me slide just this once.Usually both were unsuccessful, butI got lucky twelve out of the fifteentimes. The cop would always noticethat I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt,so instead of hitting me with a speed-ing ticket worth four points, I wouldget a seatbelt ticket worth $52.00. Ihad a nice little stack of them too.

So, if you are one of those driv-ers who is constantly finding head-lights flashing in the rearview, re-member, don’t buckle up…it couldsave your license.

Ok, so I think it is about timepeople address the facts of theHobart and William Smith Colleges“dating scene.” Basically, it does notexist or at least is in the great minor-ity. I think a study needs to be doneon the effects of alcohol upon thecollege female, because it seems tome that a drunken female’s testoster-one levels are increased to the malelevel and perhaps even surpass it.Have you ever noticed the differ-ences in behavior in male and femalesafter alcohol consumption? And Iam not talking about the study doneduring alcohol awareness weekwhere professors deliberately con-sume alcohol to show its effects.Many females exhibit a friskiness thatis never exhibited by the gender;other than when alcohol has been

ingested. After much alcohol inges-tion by a male, you may as well callhim a vegetable (you know exactlywhat I’m talking about- laying mo-tionless on a couch in front of theT.V. with a beer in his hand- thinkdorm room).

Yet the colleges’ bar scene ismuch different than that of the malemini quad where you would need tocause physical pain to a male in or-der to revive him to become aware ofthe situation around him (yes- evenof sexual advances that may takeplace). As the clock approaches 1(or 2 on Saturday’s!) at Copperfields,look around and count the numberof couples making out on the dancefloor. Is this a normal example ofhealthy sexual expression in a col-lege environment? Evidence seems

merely receiving a college education whileliving amongst thousands of junior highschool students. Since the vast majorityof my peers are junior high school students,obviously I am attending junior highschool. The similarities between my formermiddle school experience and the presentcircumstance are so astounding and nu-merous that I was equally shocked duringmy first reflection as I presently am.

In order to evince this comparison, Imust briefly describe my rather unpleasantand embarrassing middle school experi-ence. Unlike many of my fellow males whobragged of leg and pelvis hair during thefifth and sixth grade, and proudly boastedof insightful anatomical studies during theseventh, I did not experience puberty untilI had reached the eighth grade. Conse-quently, the latest rumors about who kissedwhom often failed to interest me. Afterperceiving my lack of service to these pio-neering anatomical adventures, certaincliques kindly created ChristopherVredenburgh’s New Life Purpose; Christo-pher Vredenburgh exists for the sole pur-pose of providing people with humor. Yes,that’s correct. My popularity during middleschool relied on my cunning ability to makepeople laugh and to divert that laughterand humiliation from myself. But how ju-venile, ignorant and close-minded I was. Idid not even realize that the entire socialstructure of middle school was based onwhom you knew and how developed youwere. I did not even perceive the fact thatnone of my friends truly knew me nor I them.

And, deceived by false testimony andcrafty brochures, I mistakenly applied tojunior high school for a second trial. I donot desire to suffer through another sup-pressing four years of junior high school.These may not be identical experiences, forinstead of physical development, physicalabuse is the common “goal,” but the con-

to prove to the contrary.The “hook-up” scene seems to be

enormous here, and although I initiallythought this was a normal college activ-ity, I have learned that it is not. Com-pared to my friends at other colleges, theamount of sexual promiscuity on our owncampus is almost out of hand. I would beinterested in determining the cause of theincrease of “hook-ups” on our campus.Could the blame be placed on our un-usual co-ordinate system? Has havingmajority of the dorms single sex increasedthe sexual tension between the genders?When meeting a member of the oppositesex in a situation like the bar, it seemsthat the idea of simply becoming friendsis very rare; instead it is viewed as a“hook-up” possibility. I wonder howmany substantial relationships are basedupon the typical way in which people“hook-up” at our school. Perhaps thismay just be a first-year phenomenon.

Here’s a typical scenario: girl meetsboy in bar, boy and girl dance in bar, boyand girl kiss on dance floor, girl goeshome with boy, girl does infamous walkof shame, girl becomes embarrassed togo to SAGA and see boy…. and the cyclecontinues! I know many first-years areoften concerned, based upon the rate inwhich they and their friends have already“hooked-up,” that by the end of the fouryears at HWS they will have run out ofHobart men, especially now that the first-year female class is so large. That’s arather scary thought. I don’t think this isnecessarily a problem that needs to beaddressed, and I do think that all of theseissues change with class year and expe-rience.

It’s simply an interesting Hobart andWilliam Smith phenomenon, is HWSovertly and overly sexed? Perhaps thesestatistics should be added to the point-less and controversial Campus Factoids(these sexual acts can be considered de-viant by some, no?). I am sure that ev-eryone is wondering what percentage ofHWS students have ever been involvedin a lustful activity and maybe even aone-night stand!

cepts are indistinguishable. Just likemiddle school kids, students attendingHWS judge others by meaningless andfoolish characteristics, such as drinkingcapability and fraternity status. I do notcare who can drink the most, smoke themost, or act the most “manly,” and Iwould never judge someone by suchmeaningless talents. Apparently, thesecharacteristics are of particular impor-tance in northern New York middleschools, but I do not care for those whoact with such foolish immaturity.

Critics often meticulously dissect anddismember problematic issues and thenproceed to offer no solution. This irri-table “technique,” or lack of insight,often causes me to question the point ofthe critic’s article because society’sawareness of its problems is often notthe central issue, but rather how societywill resolve the problem. I shall nowknowingly become a hypocrite. Howcould this issue be resolved when thegeneral attitude of the student body isthe problem? Unlike other, solvable cam-pus issues, the problem is not ingrainedin this institution’s faculty, administra-tion, or infrastructure. The studentsthemselves willingly choose to create anexclusive atmosphere. Simply orderingthe student body to drastically changethe campus atmosphere would not proveeffective or even accurately express mybeliefs. For I do not feel justified in in-structing my fellow students on how toact or what should be meaningful tothem. I will merely suggest that studentsfurther consider how they treat othersand what environment they are naivelycreating through their everyday actions.If the junior high school atmosphere isappealing, then the student body neednot change, but if a college institution isdesired, then I believe that many of mypeers will need time for adjustment.

It has come to our attention that there were security guards who were in JPRhelping to remove students. Moreover, the efforts of these people have been con-tinually overlooked within all the articles of recognition, ridicule, and praise submit-ted to this paper in the aftermath of the fire. This error was not intentional and wewould like to thank those that brought this to our attention. Moreover, we wouldlike to say a long over due thank you to all the members of security that havededicated themselves to keeping all of us safe; we do not give you all the credit thatyou are due. Thank you!

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged MeFriday Flix, 10 pm, Geneva Room

I n the wee hours of Saturdaymorning, Ken Kesey — writer,prankster, teacher and family

man — died at Sacred Heart MedicalCenter, where he was being treatedfor complications from liver surgery.

Two weeks ago, doctors removeda tumor from the 66-year-old Kesey’sliver. On Tuesday, his condition de-teriorated and he was moved to thehospital’s intensive care unit, wherehe was given dialysis and placed ona respirator. At 4:30 a.m. Saturday,Kesey slipped away.

Prior to Kesey’s death, familyfriend Phillip Dietz said that peoplewere “holding up well” and thatwhatever happened, the familywould remain strong.

“This is a very close family,” Dietzsaid. “They really love Ken a lot.”

On Sunday afternoon, friendsand family gathered at his PleasantHill property to make arrangementsfor the funeral. In honor of Kesey’smemory, members of his extendedand immediate family built his coffinand dug his grave.

“It’s very beautiful to watch,”Kesey’s daughter Sunshine said.“My father had a lot of friends andfamily here in the community.”

A memorial service at McDonaldTheatre was tentatively planned forthe middle of this week, she said.Kesey is survived by his mother,Geneva Jolley; his wife, Faye; hisson, Zane; his daughters, ShannonSmith and Sunshine Kesey; hisbrother, Chuck Kesey; and threegrandchildren.

Kesey, who graduated from theUniversity of Oregon in 1958 with aBachelor of Science in speech, firstcaught the public eye in the early1960s, when his novels “One FlewOver the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Some-times a Great Notion” became mas-sive commercial and critical suc-cesses. Not yet 30 years old, Kesey— who had studied at Stanford Uni-versity with such 1960s icons asAllen Ginsberg and had been in-

volved in drug experiments in a Cali-fornia veterans’ hospital — foundhimself the object of national acclaim.

But his fame came with a price.Between 1965 and 1967, Kesey wasarrested several times for possessionof marijuana, and his ranch in LaHonda, Calif., became a routine tar-get for local police looking to curbthe growth of the counterculturemovement that Kesey was helpingto shape. In 1968, after touring thecountry and pulling off all manner ofmad stunts with his band of MerryPranksters — as chronicled in suchbooks as Tom Wolfe’s “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” and Hunter S.Thompson’s “Hell’s Angels” —Kesey returned to Oregon. With hiswife Faye, he bought a farm in Pleas-ant Hill, settled into the communityand raised four children.

In 1987, Kesey returned to theUniversity to work as an instructorin the Master of Fine Arts creativewriting program. By June of 1988, heand 13 graduate students in his classhad completed the novel “Caverns,”which was published in 1989 underthe pseudonym O.U. Levon.

George Wickes, emeritus profes-sor of English, who first met Keseyin the mid 1970s, said that his time asa teacher typified the way Keseydealt with his status as a Universityalumnus.

“Kesey always had an ambigu-ous relationship with the Univer-sity,” Wickes said. “He didn’t havemuch to do with the University inthe last few years, but I can still re-member some of the hoo-hahs he put

on.”The 1990s were a time of renewed

creativity for Kesey. He published“The Further Inquiry,” a screenplay,in 1990; two children’s books, “LittleTricker the Squirrel meets Big Doublethe Bear” in 1990 and “The Sea Lion”in 1991; and two novels, “SailorSong” and “Last Go Round” — thelatter with author Ken Babbs — in1992 and 1994, respectively. In 1997,he suffered a small stroke, but con-tinued his involvement in the com-munity. On Halloween 2000, Keseyand the Merry Pranksters headlineda Green Party benefit in Agate Hall.Wickes, who worked as an advisorto the University’s literary magazine,the Northwest Review, in 1977, calledKesey a “great showman.” But hewas quick to add that, in his opin-ion, Kesey will be remembered morefor his landmark early novels thanfor his free-wheeling days as aprankster.

“He kind of personified the ’60s— which was mostly Tom Wolfe’sdoing,” Wickes said. “But in the longrun, I think he’ll be remembered mostfor ‘Cuckoo’s Nest.’ It’s one of thegreat books of the second half of the20th century, and I think it will con-tinue to be taught in literaturecourses.” For her part, SunshineKesey said she hopes the messagebehind the novels is what peopleremember about her father.

“He beat the drum of freedom,pretty much all the time,” she said.“His message was to be as big asyou have it in you to be.”

The setincludes a second disccovering the neverbefore releasedTommy performancesfrom this momentousshow. Rock and rollnever sounded thisraw, loud, or alive.

In a day when liverock albums were intheir fledgling stages,The Who was at theforefront. BetweenKeith Moon’s bom-bastic drumming andPete Townshend’swindmill wailing on his stratocaster,the result is pure undiluted rock androll. Add John Entwistle’s unrivaledbass playing and Roger Daltrey’scommanding vocals and you’ve gota good reason for your neighbors tocomplain. Turn it up some more anddrown out the neighbors!

Originally, the Live at Leeds al-bum was only six tracks long.

classic Who tunes. The beauty ofthe live album is that you get to hearall your favorites with a new degreeof intensity. Everything from “I Can’tExplain” to “Substitute” to “My Gen-eration” reek havoc on your speak-ers as the sound comes forth with amomentum that will blow away even

the most sea-soned rock fan.The first dischas thirteentracks all worthyour time. As arock purist, Ilove EddieCochran’s ver-sion of “Sum-mertime Blues,”but this versiongives an all-newmeaning to theword kickin’.The second discis any Tommy

fan’s dream come true. “The Who’sarchives and collectors around theworld reveal that this Leeds Tommyis the very best concert version ofthe work extant.” Even if you arenot a Who fan you undoubtedlyknow “Tommy Can You Hear Me”and “Pinball Wizard,” which are per-formed here at the peak of the Who’scareer along with eighteen othertracks off the disc.

In an epic shootout, which rivaledonly the concluding scene of“High Noon”, Hobart football fell

to the RPI Red Hawks 35-29 this pastSaturday in Troy. The game involved122 pass attempts and 868 yardsthrough the air from both sophomorequarterbacks; the Statesmen’s CraigSwanson and RPI’s Dan Cole. Hobartconcluded their season at 6-3.

It started off as a promising dayfor Hobart as less than 7 minutes intothe game; they had jumped to a 14-0lead on the undefeated Red Hawks.The Statesmen would not relinquishthat lead until less than two minutesto go in the game. First-year DanSuozzi ran a punt back 72 yards for atouchdown and sophomore JoePirozzolo caught a 78 yard touch-down strike from Craig Swanson togive the game, its first two scores.Two Dan Cole touchdown passesand one Eric Ampuja field goal later,the Statesmen led 17-14 at the break.

Cutting to the chase, Hobart led29-27 with a little over two minutesto go in the game. RPI came on toattempt a field goal to give them aone-point advantage. The Statesmengot in first and blocked the kick, onlyto have it recovered by MikeDefilippi who scampered 21 yardsfor a touchdown. Just like that, anychance of a postseason dream forthe Statesmen, faded away. Hobartcould not amount a retaliation scoreand lost the game 35-29.

Hobart finished with a success-ful 6-3 campaign, but failed to im-prove on last year’s monumentalsuccess. Due to the loss of so manyseniors, preseason forecasters hadthe Statesmen not even posting awinning record. However, ol’ ‘Bartsurprised the cynics and finishedwith an admirable 6-3 mark. JuniorsNate Milne and Jeremy Archer putthe season best... “Unfortunately wefell short of the NCAA’s this timearound, but next year we will be backand return to domination.”

As the Hobart Hockey teamprepared for their homeopener against Elmira Col-

lege, the team was hoping to avenge2 losses against the Eagles from lastseason. With a raucous crowd sup-porting the Statesmen, the ice war-riors looked to garner their 4th vic-tory of the season. The Eaglesjumped out to a quick 2-0 lead be-hind goals by Steve Kaye and ChrisMann. Hobart fought back, nettingtwo power-play goals, one from first-year forward Kevin Coakley, andsophomore forward Chris Doolan.Both team would notch another goalbefore the 1st period ended, and after20 minutes, the score was a pair of3’s.

The second period was fullof hard hits, and high-octane of-fense. Elmira forward Eddie Cassie

Rumblings of frustration aroseon ‘the hill’ when female icehockey superstars suffered

withdrawal from their lifetime pas-sion. William Smith’s failure to offerice hockey as a varsity sport and thedormancy of the old club left manygirls stranded. Until, that is, a hand-ful of motivated athletes rejuvenatedthe club, which is off to a thrivingstart.

Club contacts and firstyears Caitlin Rogers and Allie Herderand sophomore Colby Moore ap-proached Barry Robinson, head ofStudent Life and Leadership, and theWilliam Smith Congress early in thesemester proposing the revival of theold club. Everyone was receptive tothe idea and the girls were granted$800 to begin the season.

Due to the expensive costof ice time, the team is limited to twopractices a week at the Geneva Rec-reation Center until the winter break.Upon returning from break, the con-tacts must approach the congressagain for more money. Rogers is con-fident that they will be conducive tothe idea because of the clubs imme-diate success.

While participation issteady, it is a concern. There are tencommitments and fifteen potential

“We just want participa-tion, really. We already have a lot ofgirls who know what their doing, wejust want people to come out,” em-phasizes Herder.

Under the direction offormer Hobart hockey player, KyleMoore, the team has games lined upthroughout the season. With com-petitors such as Colgate, variousSUNY teams, and women’s leagues,the club is guaranteed to grow. Thegirls’ ultimate goal is to eventuallytransform the club into a divisionthree, varsity squad. One major ob-stacle to this advancement is the lackof a hockey rink on campus. Oncethis is acquired, a girl’s hockey teamwill be within reach.

First year team memberGretchen Sword is ecstatic about theseason. “Hockey was my life for fouryears, so I don’t know what I woulddo without it. I’m so happy we starteda team and it really looks like there isa lot of potential.”

Even though the team is inits first season, the players have anoptimistic outlook for the season andthe future.

High Scoring Affair Favors ElmiraBen KennaMaster of Pickup Line tallied the Eagles 4th goal four min-

utes into the period, but the States-men stayed persistent, and with justover a minute left in the period,sophomore defenseman TrevorGowan registered the team’s 3rdpower-play goal. With 20 minutesleft, the score was tied at 4.

In the third period, theStatesmen took the lead with their 4th

power-play goal, scored by first-yearcenter Craig Levey. The 5-4 leadlooked strong enough to survive,but the deficit set a fire in the Eaglesbellies, and they would rattle off 4unanswered goals against the States-men, giving them an 8-5 lead, andeventual victory. For the Statesmenin goal, first-year Adam Lavelleplayed admirably, stopping 43 shotsby the Eagles.

minute of the first half, after a greatslide tackle by senior defender FeliciaCrump led to the ball squirting tostriker Adrienne Showler, who fireda goal past Heron goalie LeahCornwell. William Smith, making arecord 15th consecutive tourney ap-pearance gave Diamond everythingshe could handle, as her defensepicked her up by booting a sure goalout inches before it crossed the line.Diamond also thwarted a MichelleSmith shot with a big save.

In the second half, the Her-ons dug deep, but just couldn’t tallya score. Both teams had many scor-ing opportunities, but both goaliesstepped up their play. Cornwell reg-istered 6 saves in the half, and the
