As a part of the Wellness Initiative and Students for a Sensible Drug Policy, I've come to
know thar drinking watc.r is very important. There are plenty of campaigns going around
about drinking water and staying safe, and yet we were told we couldn't bring water in to an
event which would involve a lot of prople in tight quarters. This lends itself quite nicely to
overhearing and dehydration. Also, I'm pretty sure if people wanted to bring alcohol to the

It would be unfaiJ not to share that we found out before luving that there was water,
however it was right next to the beer tent. But being under 21, I figured it would be wise
to stay away from that tent. ln general, though, the mere concept of taking away the water
irks me. If a person wants to bring water to an event in any state they are in, it just makes
sense to let them kttp it; confirm it is water, but Ice it go. Why risk students going without
water by 12lung it away from them when you can just as easily let them keep it and be safe?

out of our way to bring water to be safe, and there we we.re being told we couldn't have it.
I am a big believer in harm reduction and think h is a very imponant for safe and responsible drug use. Water is very important in this, and we should therefore be encouraging
people to drink water when they need it. There was no difference berwccn the water I was

Responses to ''Under the Boot''
Israel or Palestine? I Choose Peace.
BY EVAN CHARTIER
a-,12011
Reading the Maro()n-Ntws this weekend was one of the most upscning
things I have done since I arrived at
Colgate in August. Samuel Sphz's aniclc "Under The Boot: America Remains
a Stumbling Block for Palestinian Liberation.. was saturated with misinformation and offensive language. Spil'z.
perpetuates the polarity which often
charactcriics unproductive discussions
between otherwise peace seeking individuals. Having served as a combat soldier in the Israeli Army between my high
school graduation and matriculation co
Colgate, the conflict between bntclis and
Palestinians has been central to my life.
I lived in both l,racl and theWest Bank during the Second Intifada, and volunteered with
elite forces during the Second Lebanon War
in 2006,
I was also enlisted during Operation
Cast Lead, and I fought in other serious
conAicts. I have many friends and fam.
ily across rhe political specuum. loved
ones who consider themselves pacifists,
religious, secular. conscientious objectors,
ardent Zionists and more.
I h.avc actively and passionately protested
the ls-ra.c\i government for dccisi.ons, judicial ..
rulings and opcracions wirh which I vchc·
memly disagree. I do not see the conflict
between Israelis and Palestinians as right
versus wrong or good venu.s eviJ. The lsraeli·
Palestinian conflict involves human beings
on both sides who do nor fit into the polar·
ized cacegories many of us uy to fit chem
into. Palestinian suffering is a reality, and I
have no intention of ignoring their voice. 1
hope to advocate peace by rccogniz.ing nar·
ratives on boch s-ides. I am heavily involved
in promoting dialogue, and I am deeply
invesced in ics outcome.
I both unden,rand and disagree with the
arguments behind S..muel Spitz' anlclc,
While I read commentaries I disagree with
almost every day, I am responding to Spitt's
article because the rhetoric, tone and per·
ccived purpose of ·under 'The Boo,· deeply
alarmed me.
Spitz's article was not a c:all for peace,
but rather about ending the conversation
to which I have dedicated my life, It wu a
polarized account of good ve11w evil, which
hu been articulated by decades of politicians seeking to fulfill personal agendu on
an international stage.
While the argumenu behind Spitt's
commentary a.re absolutely pertinent co the
conversation, articles such as "Under The
Boot.. serve only rhosc partisans interested
in presenting personal biases ro anyone who
will listen.
N is inevitable when is.sues arc seen in
black and white, Spit2 makes statements
in his anic.le which arc misleading and/or
false. Spitz. claims that "chocolate. catcle.,
chic.ks, cumin, jam, ginger, sage, vinegar,
nutmeg, fruit pttscrvcs, potato chips, gas
for soft drinks, dried fruit, fresh meat,
coriander and fishing rods" arc currently
banned from Gaza.
The human righrs group Gisha, an organization that promotes Palestinian f~.
dom of movement in Gau a.nd the West
Bank, brought the issue of banned goods
to the braeli court system in January 2010.
Aocording ro Gisha, all of the goods that
Spitz claims arc currcndy banned from
Gau - except for cattle, chicks, fishing
rods and fresh meat (although froun meat
is allowed) - have been pc-rmitted since the
summer of 2010, Even goods that arc still
restricted from Gau, such as fresh meat,
arc periodically allowed in (such sOurccs
as Ma'an - a Palestinian publication corroborate this).

I am frusuated. I am disappointed. I am at a loss for what ro do next because my
hopes - for empathy, for compassion. for dialogue and understanding between divided
peoples - arc being stamped our by recent events on rhis campus. I am referring to the
issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which hat recently exploded across the pages of
this paper, on the comments on its blog and through rhc conversations of students and
faculty here at Colgate,
I have become a bridge between my friends on chc right and perspectives from those
on the left of this issue (I am defining 'right' as a pe11pcctive that is generally pro-Israel
and 'left' as One that is generally supportive of Pale.stinlan resistance within rhc context
of chc lsraeli-Palc.ninian conflict. I recognize the limitations and simplifications of these
definitions, but please humor me, for brevity's sake).
I have sat and listened and heard what my friends on the right have had to say. I have
witncued their hurt and indignation in response to the commentary, ·under the Boot,"
published in last wttk's paper.
And when rhey have asked for my opinion, I have been careful ro cushion it with a
layer of protective bubble wrap: I have watched !"Y tone, I ha.ve wrung my hands, I have
thought long and hard about my choice of words,
I have done all thi.s in attempt co engage in open and respectful dialogue, becawc I
believe in open and respectful dialogue a.nd it's potential to connibuce to the confticr's
resolution. Despite the fact chat my friends have assured me of their wholesome intentions and despite the fact that they probably believe that they are trying co engage in a
dialogue, all I sec is an interest in coming out on top, in having their version of the uuch
the Gaza-bound ftotilla Mavi Marmara lncidtnt from May 2010, Spitz states that "nine

violence - no &erlow injuries were inAiaed

Spitz's article calls into question Israel's
status as a democracy by implying that
rhe Arab minority docs not enjoy representacive rights. While there arc issues
of social inequality in Israel (as thtrc arc
everywhere) this docs not negate Israel's
dc.mocratic character.
Again, the facts speak for themselves:
Arab citiuns hold equal voting rights with
Jewish lsraclu, there have been Arabs ln the
Koes.set (Israel's parliament) since 1949 and
they continue to serve in both Arab and
non.Arab political panics.
Such parties currently represented in the
cightttnth Knesset include Balad, United
Arab Lin and the Jewish-Arab joint ,ocialist
party Ha.dash. Salim Joubran, an Arab citiun, is a permanent Supreme Court Judge.
Additionally, Arab citiuns serve in the
Prime Minister's cabinet.
Misleading information is one aspect of
Spitz's article char only serves to falsely represent che intricate nature of the Israeli-Pal-
estlnian conftict, The we of violent language
provokes an emotional reaction that neither

agt open conversation or promote peace.
Such language intimidates and puts people
on the defensive.
In "Under The Boot", Spitt Implies a
comparison bctwccn the policies of Nazi
Germany and those of Israel. It should be
noted that ..drawing comparisons of oon·
temporary I,racli policy to that of the Nazis" falls under the European Union's definition of contemporary anti-Semitism; this
definition is endorsed by the U,S, Department of State and the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights,
To be absolutely clear, I am In no way
:wetting chat Spin is an anti-semite. but
bis allwions do resonate disturbingly

Stt the performance bebut from Spia's description and what I heard from othcn, she
simply was trying to illustr2te both sides of an issue, an issue
when: people an: traditionally blinded to other perspectives.
Rtcently, an Italian pro-Palestinian activist was murdered by
a terrorist group in Gau. Even Ju,tin Bieber has been rhru,,
into che politics of che region. To me, what this anide ,bows
is not why we should all side with i.,..1, or why w,: should
all Jide with the Palestinian cause, bur the importance of ex·
acdy whar Noa Baum was probably trying to convey with her
performance. The terms of this debate need to change.
We all need to be able to Stt both sides. I was lucky enough
to be ..i.ed in a household when: political debates were expected to be thoughtful and based on fact, not sensationalist hyperbole. I am also lucky enough to have a father who

di.cussed the latest news from Is,..I and the Palestinian Territories, we often disagreed with each other about whether
or nor we agreed with lsrael's counc of action, bur we were
c,xpected to back up our argumenu with facu, not blatne. ·
Now, it is clear that Spia's aniclc has plenty of ,ra,utics,
bur to me the most important facr.s were the ones no, featured in the article. Yes, there were J.tatistics about the hor·
rible poveny the Palestinian, live in, much of It a result of
1$...Ii blockades. But where were the sraristics about Palestinian elfons to put suicide bombers in ambulances when Imel
made exceptions to the blockade based on emergency medical

Ben Gurion about foidbly removing Palestinian, from their
homes, a horrible legacy of the I 948 war that ls...I still has
not complerdy admitted to. But where were the quotes from
the Hamas Chancr, the chaner of the pany popularly elected
by the Palestinians'?
This chancr calls for the destruction of the State of lsr2el and quotes the Prot«0ls ofth, E/dm ofZion as support
for their violent vision for Israel. The Prot«Ols ofth, E/dm of
Zion, a Russian forgery, claims that the Jews have a secret plan
for global domination. This document historically has been
used to jusdfy horrible and violent· acu of anti..SCmitism,
from pogroms to the Holocaust iudf. Clearly, Js...Ii leaden
an: not the only ones who have issues with '2Cism and prcjudi~-. I am nor trying to convince Spitt or anyone else to ..,idc
with lsracr or argue that the Palestinians deserve their hor·
rible fate. Instead, with these facu I am trying to show that
there are indeed rwo equal sides to thu conflict.
There is another group thar I believe go, ,hafted in Spia's
an-ldc:: the victimJ and survivors of the Holocaust. The Ho.
locaust was a horrible genocide in which millions of innocent
people wen: mwdered &imply based on what family they were
born into. Sadly, the Holocawt was not the first genocide and
has nor been the last. Bur ro compare what is going on in the
Palettinian territories to the Holocaust is a cheap shot and an
insult to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.
Then: are historical events that call to mind what the Israelis art doing to the Palestinians, perhaps the British treatment
of the Irish, or the conl!ict between Indians and Paki,ranis
when lndla gained independence, but the Holocawt was not
one of them. I would urge Spitz to see the lecture given evety
year by Holocaust survivor Helen SperUng at Colgate or par·
ticipare in the annual reading of the ,m million names of the
victims of the Holocau,t that happens on the academic quad
every year in order to better understand why thi, comparison
is JO irresponsible.
To me, what Spitt's anicle clemonnra(CS is the hcan of
the conflict: mbundcntanding. 'WheUler we want ,o or not,
we mun undcnrand both perspective, In a conflict. Clearly,
throughout histoty there have been conllicu that have been
one.sided, such as the ~nocidc in Rwanda, bur the Arab,.
Israeli conllict is not one of them. If you choose to look at
whafs going on in Israel through the way Spit2 recommends,
picking and ch00ignoring everything else, then you will probably come to the
conclusion that there is only one side.
But the reason thc,e conflicts are so messy is because all the
facts and numbers don't point to a clear solution. The.re arc
facts, hu,orical evidence and ,'2gedy ,o make you sympathize
with borh the b...Iis and the Plllestinians. Why should we
have to pick?
In the end, it will be both sides, and world powers like
the United Stares, that will have to make compromises and
come to terms wiffl the horrors they commined to make
peace. If we k>ok at hiJtory with an anempt ro understand
both perspective,, the path to peace will be easier. It is much
easier to s« everything as black and white, bur it is also just
as irresponsible.
We owe ir to the suffering Palcstlni.ans, forced to live in
poveny, shuffled through checkpoints with no rtgard to their
dignity, ruled over by a government that is tither pwhing

Israelis, forttd to Hve every day with the fear that when their

So, for our last article of the year - well, all of college,
for chac maner - we thought it would be appropriate to go
back to the source of our cookfog: favorite family recipes.
We each chose one ofour favorites from growing up that has
been a traditional dish in the family. We think that these arc
the kinds of meals that inspire cooking as a tradition.
Amy's choice is one ,ha, has been her all-time favorite
meal for as long as she can remember. It is what she always
requested on her birthday and any ocher occasion she got
the chance to. Now, don't let the name of this meal let
your head wander where it shouldn't! The name itself is
part of che tradition and has existed before the recipe was
even in Amy's family. It all started in the '60s in the family
of Amy's mom's college roommate, Nora. Both of Nora's
parents worked, so having time to get dinner on the table
was not always easy. It was a task wually left up to her
mocher. buc on occasion her dad would surprise the family
with his favorite thing to cook ... wel1. the only ching he
apparently knew how to cook. Hence, "'Daddy's Surprise"'
was born. In college, Nora shared the recipe with Amy's
mom and she has made it for Amy for years. Our family
made a couple of changes to the recipe. so here is what we

for around 45 minutes until che chicken is tender; stir-ring

couscow and quinoa would also go great. As you can s«
from the five ingttdienrs used, this is an extremely wholesome meal. No liquids. butters or oils are used. bu( the rcsuh
is tender, juicy chicken.
Before leaving you this semester, we thought it would be

pepper co preference. Add the me.at and onion mixture to
the pasta. Add the rwo cans of tomato bisque soup. This
is another diversion from the original recipe. h initially
called for plain tomato soup, but the bisque is a bit sweeter
and gives the dish an interesting twist. Mix thoroughly.

Well, this is it, my final '"Colgate Couture" article before I graduate and pass the
column on to the 1tcxt writer. I have truly loved writing these pic«s and will very
much miss it. Obviously, I feel strongly abouc fashion; it is an intcrcsc that has grown
and developed through my years working and interning in its various capacities. Lots
of people equate fashion with designing,
but the field is really much more multi•
faceted. So, for my la.st word I thought
it would be useful to give some real-life,
first-hand insight into somC" different
clements of t he industry; who knows,
maybe one is the path for you.
The summer of my sophomore year at
Colg;a,tc, I w.1s an intern at Luck1 magazine, a Condf Nast women's fashion pub""
lication. h w:u one of the greaten learnCl '"'

ing cxpcrience.s o f my I ilc;
.,.,," ' much , I returned the very next yc-ar. At
Th., C .. a fashion magazine, most of an intcrn's
time is spent dealing with garment samples, which arc pieces sent to the magazine as opcions for st0rics and photoshoots. lntt>rns retrieve the samples from
designer showrooms and PR firms, check
chem in, organize them on the appropriate editor's rolling rack (or deliver them
ro an urgent photoshoot if need be) and
II f
send chem back when the magazine is
finished with t hem. Sometimes an intern
will assist at a phocoshoot, seuing up all
of rhe samples or documenting garment
_ _ _ crcdiu; other times an intern will help an
luckym,g.com editor or assistant with a specific project.
,,,,_
·-.........

;11·
But always, working as an intern at a fashio,i maguine is super fa.sc-paced and incense.
The sample pic.k-ups and drop-offs often involve rrekking across Manhattan (in less
rhan comfortable shoes) while hauling enormous garment bags full of valuable samples
(chrough the rain, on the subway, up and down srairs), Usually there is a very right
time frame, or at least the expectation of utmost efficiency. You arc always first to arrive
and dead last co leave. But il is absolutely worth it; juSl being present in such a vibrant
creative environment and seeing how everything really works is reward enough. Hands
down, it was the best job I have had.
I have also interned in fashion public relations, which is essentially the opposite side
of the business. A fashion public relations company (or division of a brand) is whar
lends the magaz.i ncs/publications the garment samples irl the hopes that their pieces
will be photographed and therefore publicized. A fashion PR intern largely deals with
the showroom, which is where all of t he samples arc pul on d isplay for when magazine
editors or assiscants come to view chem in search of pieces for a story. So of course, it is
all abou, visual presentation. An intern organizes the racks according to color and style,
dresses the mannequins, creates the accessory display and assures everything is perfect
for a run-through. PR interns will, at times, help make pulls for a specific story if the
maga,z ine makes a remote request. Also, it is an inrern's job to scan the media (and I
mean , like, 20 magazines a d.1y) to check for credits. When J worked in PR, I was at the
hali:an brand United Colors o( Benetton and ic was great to get a fuller picture of how
the transactions work from the other end to make a fashion magazine.
Finally, over last summer I was a visual display design and merchandising intern for
Urban Outfitters Inc., specifically Anrhropologie. For any of you w ho have ever been
to an Amhropologie store, you know that pare of its marketing strategy is excravagandy,
creatively decorated display set•ups for the clothing. My job was co help design and
create those displays: folding vintage books origami-style to make an arch around the
dresses or paincing old buoys from che beach co complement the nautic.al trend, for instance. I would then help dress the mannequins in outAts that worked with the theme.
h was a very different experience for me, and ,ota.lly wonderful. If you are artsy, you
may be interesred in &omething like it.
So wit.h that I leave you. I hope this, and all of my pie= this year, have been helpful.
Goodbye, good luck and stay stylish.

Men's Tennis Ends Season
With Tough Loss to Bucknell
.......
BY )AIME HEILBRON
A,,u,.,,, s,.,,,, &llt•r
The Colgate men's tennis team closed
its .season wilh a disappoindng defeat to
the Bucknell University Bison by a score
of 5-1 in Ian Saturday's Patriot League
Quarterfinals. The Raiders will have fin.
ish,d the campaign with a 6-12 record.
Five of their wins came against Division
I teams. while the ocher came against the
University of Rochester, whkh partici·
parc-s in Division III.
The march began with the two reams
playing for the all-important doubles
point. In ,he No. I position, senior captain Phil Bernasek and junior Connor
Feuille teamed up for the Arst time and
fd l defeated by a dominant score of 8- 1.
ln the No. 2 position, the sophomore
duo of Packer Lewis and Alex Goldsrein
put forth a strong effort but Bucknell's
second pair proved co be too much a.nd
the Raiders Ion by a score of 8-5, wbich
resulted in Colgate losing the point. Ju·
nior Sean Spellbe,g and flrsr-year Luke
Gcnsburg were locked in a ferocious
banlc. uailing 7-6 when the match was
stopped, given that the Raiders could no
longer win the point. Colgare entered
singles play already trailing by a point.
In the Patriot League Tournament,
once the point differential is greater than
what one team can overcome, all remain·
ing matches arc stopped, which means
that several of the matches were stopped
before ending. Spellberg played for Colgare in the sixth position against the Bi·
son's Kyle Rosen. His match was stopped
before it could end, but the outlook was
not good, given that he had dtopped
the firsr 6-4 and was nailing 5-4 in the
second one.
«.
•
In the No. 5 spot, Fcuille represented
the Raiders againn Bucknell's Mark Malloy. He suffered a straight-sets defeat,
losing rhe first sec 6...4 and then gening
bagcled in th• sPlaying at the No. 4 position, Bcrnasek
ended his catecr with a Straight-sets loss to
the Bison's Josh Katten. Bcrnas,k fell by a
scote of 6-0 in the fine set and 6-4 in the
second one, making things interesting.
In the No. 3 spot, Goldsrein emulated
his teammates by falling in suaight sets.
He lost both by identical scotes of 6-2.
Colgate's lone point of the contcsc came at the No. 2 position, where
first-year Bobby Berkowitz defeated
Bucknell's Ancon Kovic in rwo sets by
marching 6·3 scores.
Playing in the No. I stop, Gensbu,g's
march was stopped when it was secured
chat there was no way the Raiders could
win the match. Gensburg led by a sec,
winning rhe first one 6-4 :lnd was deadlocked in a second set banle, with he and
the Bison's Gregg Cohenca remaining on
serve at 3-3.
The future looks promising for the
Colgace men's tennis team. The Raiders lose only two seniors from this year's
team. It also helps that ,hree of Colgate's top four guys this campaign were
underclassmen, as one was a sophomore
and two were first-years, while the other
one was a senior. The two rookies held
the top cwo spots for the beuer pan of
the season.
All of this implies that as long as the
undercla»mcn keep getting better every
year, its youth should bring success to
the Colgate men's tennis team.

6- 13, 13-7 and 8-5. lhe ieam currently
holds a 19-1 5 overall record, with a I 0-1
co unt in the Patr-iot U!aguc.
Tue Raiders came out uncharacteristi-
cally slowly in the first game against Binghamton in which they were still Sc.a rching
for their firn tally into chc sixth inning.
Fortunately, first-year Jennifer Martin was
able to cross the plate after a wild pitch.
The ba.ses were loaded even after the firn
score, but Colgate was unable to capitalize on the opportunity and the score rested
at 5-1 after a Binghamton relief pitcher sat
the next two Colgate batters.
The Raiders were able to bring two
women across rhe plate in the seventh as
sophomore NataJie Siedhof hit a tworun blaSt into right field. Colgate loaded
the bases for a second time in the inning
with two outs on the board, but the effort
was not enough. First-year Tera Vaughn
grounded out to the shortstop and the
game ended with a final score of 5-3.
Scar fint·year Rachel LcCoq pitched
three innings and gave up for hits and two
ca.med runs, n riking out three. She is the
fourth Raider to tally over 100 suikc outs

wich 156 in 2007.
In the second game, all four of Bing·
hamton's were scored off a grand slam by
Dcannie Plemon in the third inning. The

ney O'Connell took the mound in the
game and pitched six innings, allowing five
hit$ and four earned runs while striking
OU( two.
After rwo losses co Binghamton. the
Raiders were determined to beat their first
Pacrioc lc•gue opponencs, Lehigh. The
team took the field at home on April 16 for
a double-header but only played one game
due to weather conditions. Unfortunately,
the desire to succeed would not be enough
for the Raiders to take the win, and the
team lose 13-6 .
Colgate got off to yet another slow start
when in the fifih inning they finally evened
the score 4-4 off a pair of home runs to
bring three home. Lehigh responded in the
sixth inning with three more runs to take
a 7-4 lead before the raiders, in the bot·
tom of the- sixth, added two going into the
last inning of the game. Unfortunately1 the
Raiders were unable to continue the climb
and allowed the Mountain Hawks to take
advancage of two Colgate errors. The first
game of the series ended with the Raiders
down and out.
Day two of the Lehigh series brougln a
little more hope for the Raiders, however,
as they swept che day. Siedhof hit hcareer grand slam and Vaughn brought in
five runs. Colgate stepped up their game,
bringing home a rematkable eight gids right
out of the gate off Siedhof's grand slam and
another three-run single by Vaughn. The
Mountain Hawk,, taken by surprise, fought
back and scottd two runs in the bonom of
the fourth and eventually added three in
che fifih to cut che gap to just one. Colgate
made a .statement in the seventh, however,
when they scored an additional five runs
and ended the game with a score of I 3-7.
O'Connell posted the win with five innings,
while junior Michelle Hollebeke finished
the final three without letting any of the
Mountain Hawk women score.
In the final game of the series, the Raid•
ers got off to a slower start, scoring four in
the fourth inning from a duo of two-run
homers to bring the score to 7-4. Lehigh
answered with a solo home run of rhcir
own off che bat of Jennifer Colquhoun
in the fifih inning to make the score 7-5.
LcCoq pitched the fint four innings and
gave up five hits and five earned runs.

Men's Track Travels to Tennesse for Sea Ray
Relays, Women to Bucknell for Bison Invite
BY MATT FLANNERY
M•,..,,.-N,-, St.ff
On Friday April 15 and Saturday April
16, the Colgate men's and women's track
and field teams traveled to separate locations to participate in highly compe.tidve mceu. The men's squad journeyed all
the way to Knoxville, Tennessee to take
part in che Sea Ray Relays at the University of Tennessee_, while several athletes
on the women's team headed over to the
Bison Invite, hosted by Patriot League foe
Bucknell University.
Despite moving hundreds of miles to
the Sourh. the men's squad was hampered
by nasty weather at the prestigious m«t.
"'It ended up pouring ra.in on the first
day of competition and was extremely
windy the second day1" senior Dan Gleason said. ..Times across the board for
our ream and rhe m«t in general were
very slow:"
That said, several runners excelled despite rhe adverse conditions, posting personal-best rimes at the competition. In the
800-metcr run, first-year JT Ahearn posted a personal record time of 1:58. Senior
middle distance runner Andy Smith was
competitive in the event until dropping
out with a knee injury.
· (The injury) is a blow co the team,
because he's the anchor leg on the 4x800,
which is probably our most competitive
cvenr," Gleason said.
Though the 4x800 squad was set b2ck
by Smith's injury, the Raiders' 4xl00 squad
performed rather well, posting a t ime of
44.6 seconds. Colgate, as has bttn the c•se
for much of this season. saw a great deal
of success in the long distance events. In
the steeplechase, sophomore Chris Johnson fin ished just seconds ofi" of his personal best. Johnson has only competed in
the event ar a handful of meets. yet he has
impressed each time. In the 5000-meter
run, sophomore long•disranc~ runner Tim
Phelps ran a personal best. clocking in at
I 5:4 I. Though the Raiders struggled with
weather and fell into the middle of the
standings when faced wich such scaunch 01
compcdtion, many runners posred impres·
sivc times and represented Colgate well.
The women's ream was faced with
similar miserable conditjons when it
traveled to Lewisburg, Pennsylvania to
rake part in the Bison Invite. As was the
case with the men, many athletes were
slowed by the less than ideal conditions, but that did not prevent several
individuals
from
shining
on
a
personal level.
One of Colgate's most notable performances came from none other than
Elise DeRoo, ihc junior long distance
runner who has led the ream to a solid
spring season. In the 5000-mctcr run,
DeRoo placed eighth overall, snapping
the tape in 16:55.52. Her final time was
good enough to qualify her for che ECAC
Championships, which arc coming up in
several weeks.
The Raiders also qualified thrCe ocher
women for the ECACs in the I 0,000-meter
,un. Junior Kelly Cattano placed fofieenth
overall with a Anal cime of 36:54.28. C at·
tano was followed in seventeenth place by
senior Scacey Marion (37:08.32), and in
rwenry-fint place by senior captain Julie
Tarallo (37:37.67). In the 4xl 00 relay,
Colgate's 'N squad of senior Emily Hepworth, first•ycar Jamie King..Prunry, junior
Alexandra Atkinson and senior Michele
Miller placed first in its group, posting an
impressive time of 50.45 seconds. Finally,
in the 400-meter dash, Atkinson placed
second in her group with a final time of
59.89. The time was just .3 seconds behind
the first-place finisher.
Next weekend, the men's team will head
off to Holy CrOS$ to rake pan in a meet
hosted by the rival Crusaders.
..The Holy Cross meet is always
a good opponunity for some guys
ro get in some speed work and some
fast times before (the Patriot League
Championships]," Gleason said.
The women will return to action
next weekend as well when they travel
to Ithaca, New York to participate in the
Cornell Invite hosted by none other tha.n
Cornell University.

admiucd that lengthy travel, coupled with
perais-rcnt and poor weather condition,,
made the road win even more noteworthy.
•1 thought il wa.s a great win considering the circumstances," Coach Nagle said.
"It was a long day. We traveled the day
of the game to save money. We had three
different lightning delays and came away
with a big league win close to midnight."
Scnjor co-captain Andrew Mould led
the Raiders with four goals, and junior Jeff

quarter, but the Leopards stormed back
in the second with four goals and Jook

over Lafayeuc. The team won 15 of the
25 draws, largely thanks to Carroll's performance, scooped 26 groundballs to the

The team's win nreak will carry it into

The two teams match-up well statistically. Colgate's Peter Baum sits at third

followed immediately by Bucknell', top
scorer, Ryan KJips-cein who has 40 of his
own. Additionally, the Bison rank third
in Patriot League team· offcn.sc, averaging
9.8 goals a game while the Raiders occupy the fourth spot, averaging 9.6 goals
per contest.
Defensively, Bucknell sits atop the Patriot League standings, allowing just 7.3
goah a game while Colgate sits jusc two
spots below, letting 7.8 sneak through per
game. Moreover, Bucknell keeper Kyle
Feeney (.544 save %, I 06 saves) and Colgate's own junior Jared Madison (.537 save
%, 108 saves) sit neck-and-neck in Patriot League goahcnding, at the third and
fourth spots, re,spcctivcly.
The game between the Raiders and the
Bison will serve as Colgate's Senior Night

The winner of the match will host the

"Do the Right Thing" Polky
Following the ho.spitalization of an unprecedented and alarming number of students. the administradon, in conjunction with the Student Gov·
ernment Association (SGA), iiutated the "Do The Right Thing" campaign.
As reponed by Ryan Smith on September 23, this initiative strongly urges
students to contact Campw Safety if someone requires medical anention
due to drug or alcohol abu.sc. Students have previously been hesitant in
rq,orting these incidents, as they could fu:c di.tciplinary action, and the
initiative brings no change to th.is. This is a point of c:ontendon. a.s rcponed in the September 23 aniclc: "One SGA member articulated thi.t
scnti=nt during the SGA meeting and said: 'lm't the admini.ttration being hypocritical because they want u.s to do the right ihing, and yet they are
not doing the right thing by [not) providing amnesty to midcnts that go to
the hospital?'" The campaign emphasius how ncccssary medical ancntion
diuid be, especially with the presence of Four Lolto drinlcs (which contain
a noxious combination of caffeine and alcohol). It strascs that calling is
the right thing to do, and that saving a lik outweighs poaible di.tciplinc.

I really love Colgacc- it's been my home for four ycan and l'U always chink ofir thar way. Bur

agajn how we ~ the ·CoJgarc BubbJc• ro cxrusc our actions and the acdon.s of our pttrs, and
men complain about the bubbk irsclf. We insulado not ,ry (0 engage wim ir.
We makc che campus the way it is - i, doesn't au,oma,ically act chis way. We make the bubbk
every single day when wc stay engaged (sometimes less so) in che classroom only to rum off ar
the door and cease to care about copies outside of our immediate interests. We have split lives
bccaUSt: we're ~ only with our own issues and dismiu those ofothers, and we have one life
for school and one for downtown. Our campus can sometimes seem stagnant because there aren"t
enough vo~ speaking up.
We all need our own spaces, ycr we constandy att2Ck and are attacked for our identities and
ways ofliving. Greek studcnu and mulciculuual Sludcnrs have ,o defend their houses againsc accusations of .scgttgation: att they an equal comparison? No, they aren't .. one is able ro control the
social power on this campw, and has many more mean$ than another - yet they both have spaces
char arc their own and they should have those spaces as long as ,hey arc supportive envimnmenrs
to the members as wd1 as the rest of the campus community.
Often as a campus wc can', progress because wc dwdl on the wrong> again.st us whik wc oonstandy defend our spaoe, and identities. We oonsistendy fucarc upon chcsc difl'er.J>CCS between our
groups and individuals rather than recognizing char we arc a total unit, an' entire univcniry. We
arc scgrhave lcamcd. We dump in ow group, and never move, making che lina betwccn us grow bigger.
We need ,o bridge the pp, in ow university. Every individual oomplains about bow thing. arc
or bow chinp oould get bcrtcr, bur there ii a tiny minority rhar cares enough to do something.
The dialogue has ,o be brought to che entire campus rather than just to those rhar :ag,ce.,,lilh your

thinking char che other side doesn't can: or doesn't undenrand. Talk ,o each ocher, staff, faculty
members, deans, all ar me same time. Make che dialogue and open ic up ro every voice availabk,
and if the dialogue is happening. panlcipa«.
We have forgouen me CCLS (Colgav.ocnt into that document, the srudc:nu who fought for it to get published and the intense passion
wich which we di,cusscd and debated it. We have forgottthat we should work together as a univcrsicy to make every SlUdcnt feel welcomed rather than

R.oclaim your spaces and n:daim your university. Take Colgatc back and own it. SNan amaung unrappcd power on rhis campw. If we speak loud enough and oohesivcly, importanc
people listen. h takes energy, dedication, hcan, cou• and commitment to something more
than younclf and your experience. Every single &ludcm needs to know their oonunivmity, and build this community up together.
Colgate is an amaung pl= fuU of amazing studcnrs, bur we oficn g« so wrapped up in our

I wanted ro write something abou, parking rickets. I got a ticker for parking in a handicapped spot mar is nor marked handicapped. I am currently ar war with Campus Safety
(though rhey may nor know Ir), I was going to write about how frustrated I am with parking
tickers on the hill. Who gets all that money? Why is Campus Safety hustling me?
I wanted lO write about that.
Bu, I won't. Last weekend as you may (or may no,) ttmembcr was Spring Parry Weekend
(SPW). I bopped from place ro place and had a jolly rime. SPW was as ridkulous as it ever
was, bur being a senior, thore were time, when I consciously choughr abou, how much fun this
is: ro have no real rcsponsibilirics, to be able ro drink and play around with my favorite peopk.
This dmc is very weird. There it no word for how relieved I am that I wiU be done with college papen, ,csrs and classes in rhrec weeks. There is something else nagging ar me, though. I
won't be able ro pop on over ro the Barge and sec about l Oof my friends on any given nighr. I
won', be able co go to about four ban in a nighc and know ,hac I've hit up all of che places there
are to go. I simply will no longer be surrounded my favorite people 24/7 as I have been used ro.
I do know rhat I am leaving rhis school wirh rhc feeling rhac I did it right. I wouldn't really
change anything about my collcgc career. Sure, I might have joined more dubs and attended
more lectures, bur I am lucky in knowing that I made the most of what I did here.
So I would lik, ro offer some parting advice. I am only 6r for che wk in thar I am someone
who is oonrenr in knowing she had an absolutely wonderful college experience. I am mindful rhar it was more luck than skill. My advia, may be helpful, it may be rubbish. Take it as
you wiU.
Learn what you love. Thar is very vague, I know. I mean to say char I would srudy just what
I want ro. I was in more cl..... rhat I loved rhan classes I didn't because I just rook what I
wanted. I do nor have the roundest resume bur I learned and discussed rhinp char I will keep
wich me forever because I paid attention, because I was nor looklng ro 60 in some gap. Also,
having recently partaken in some dreadful nerworking, I realize how much easier it is ro sell
myself because I can fully aniculacc why I srudied whar I did. I chink chat had I taken a more
practical mute, I wouldn't be abk to come across as intellectually srimulaced as I feel.
Go abroad. I know rhar Colgate is an amazing place. I would teU just about anyone to
come hett. But when arc )'OU going to have the chance again to live in a dHfercnt country and
study ,here? I loved being in London where I goc ,o meet some Colgate nudenlS whom I did
nor know before. I also loved ooming l=k ,o Colgate because I appreciared its quirklncss and
it$ intimacy in a different way. I think many people arc afraid to go abroad because they don't
know how much their rclattOnships will change or how much they themselves might change.
You will st2y you. Your friends will S1il1 lovc you. I promise.
Do whac you "!an, when you wanr. A, Colgate, ,here were rimes when I fcl, really p=urcd
ro go our downtown at night and there were limes when I felt like people thought I wasn't
serious enough about my acadcmiQ. I think thi$ i.s one of the hardest things to balance at this
school. I struggled wich i, all of my four years. Ar the end of che day, do whar makes you happiest. You will nor remember one night out or one grade on a pa~r. You wlU remember how
you felt. You wiU remember how you uca,ed people and how ,hey ,reared you.
I do not mean to preach. I mean much mort: to rry lO say that this place, Colgate, is so
a~lutcly lovely that you may not be able to s.ec that unt.il you have one foot out the door, as
I do. I made friends here I didn't know were possible, I met profmors tha, awed me because

BY EMILY DE LA REGUERA
BY GEOFF GUENTHER
h is consistent with many experiences in my life that I tend not to appreciate them
while I am experiencing them. Instead, it is usually once the experience i5 over that I k>ok
back and wish I had enjoyed ir more ar the time. This was very much rhe rheme of my high
school experience, prcvioU$ rcfationships and even some family vacations. Unsurprisingly,
this theme also seemed to dominate my coUegc experience.
Rather than app1«:ia1e freshman year and rake advantage of my newly acquired fttedom
in coming 10 collogc,, I spent the 6rS1 two years of collogc, being the faithful girlfriend 10
my long disiance boyfriend. Consequently, I became rhe girl who shur herself in 10 avoid
upsetting and worrying the boyfriend who didn't quite grasp what going to the Jug meant.
Thlug,: extent, like chlldttn. And the administration has done much to Increase (and altog«hcr a bir
100 lirtle 10 assuage) animo.siry between thcm,clva and rhc 1tudcn1 body whooc families pay rhcir
sawles. For instance: I would very much prefer not 10 hav, a stranger walk through my house ar
2:30 in rhe morning 10 check up on me. Isn't thar one of rhc polnu of college, 10 pretend 10 be a
grownup long enough thar ir sticlc.s onoc we hir graduation? Has Colgate gone down the drain In
rhe lur four ycan?
I am reminded as I write this of my grandfather, Hans Guenrher, Colgare Cws of 1942.1 am
wondc.ring about the diffcttncc between his Colgate. experience and mine.
My grandfather was captain of rhe Red Raiders football team, a membc:r of Slgma Nu and a
member of Konosioni. He was the quintcssential '"Colgat'e man." After graduating and joining rhe Marines (talk abour being a grown-up ar
graduarion) he ran Colgarc's Manhattan Dcvelopmenr Office back when thar was a thing. He
buih a house across from Camp Colgare on Saranac Lake. Someone told me once that he •bted
Colgate maroon." If you were srill allowed in rhe
Llrtlc Firncss Center, you could sec a plaque testifying to this fact.
ls rhe Colgare thar I will leave in three weeks
the same Colgar< that my grandfather lefr 69 years
ago? Well, obviowly not. There were no women.
lhe,re was something li~ fourteen fratemirits.
The Raiders were S!UI Red. There was no Ho Science Center or Case Ubrary or even FSEMs. On
the surface, Colgare was different, And beside the fact mar srudenu were given a 101 more personal
responsibility and thar my grandfather would never, ever have stood for a stranger checking in on
him at 2:30 in the morning. Colgate is sriU Colgate.
To prospc<:rive studenu I often say this: Colgate, in a word, is iu people. Colgate', people arc, in
a semencc, extraordinarily motivated and intelligent, but also just plain fun ro be around. h is the
pcopl<, more than rhc campu,, that I will miss when I graduate. From what I have gathered from
those who knew him, my grandfather would have said the exact wnc thing.
Thcr, has been some talk amons-1 tholeaving this place jusr ar rhc right time. We've h.ad rhe best of what is new: the library, the Ho
Science Ccnrcr, rhc Trudy Fimcss Center, the shiny new Colgate Inn, and a snow day. And we're
leaving as the rules keep piling on - moving ·rcsponsibUiry" from onc', own values and codifying it in more: and more. and more pieces of paper in an effort to remain politicalJy correct and
legally proreaed.
I have always remarked mar Colgate alumni, .seemingly without exception, an: iruandy dedicated 10 their alma mar<.r. So, given all of my previous rambling - will I be a "Colgarc man" like
my grandfather? Hell yes.
I've heard every graduating cla.ss for four years explain why theln was the right year to be graduating. As scnion, it is our right to look back critically upon the place that wc arc leaving behind (if
only to dull the pain of leaving).
The fact that wc complain abour things like walk-through, and the new w:k of dollar drafu
exposes a much deeper truth: Colgate is the best place in the unlvene. It is worth the insane cul,
following that makes up iu alumni. And though I cannot yet fathom being one of those alumni,
ir is exciting that I will always bleed maroon.
How I ended up with any friends after hibc.rnating in my room and avoiding going out.
I don', know, bur thankfully the bonds of friendship from my freshman year never faded
and in facr grew scronge.r, even as I struggled to balance Colgate life and rhe long distance
relationship life.
I s.pcm junior and senior year trying co play catch up, finding my niche at Colgate,
joining clubs and groups, and catching up on lost time with my friends. Now, as a senior
with a job lined up after graduation, I am pledging to enjoy the last few weeks of senior
year, despite the increasing workload and growing scnioriris char is making it exponemially
more d.ifficuh for me to write those last few papers and muster up the motivation to study
for exams.
Certainly, if I could do college over again,
I would do some rhings differently, bur I by
no means regret my time at Colgate. The
only regret I have is not having enjoyed it
more while I was here. I counted down the
days until my high school graduation and,
for as long as I can remember, I have b«.n
in a constant rush to get to che next phase of
my life., thinking that with every new chapter, the grass would be a lirde bir greener. I
rcaliu: now as I close the chapter of college
and eagerly await my entry into the "real
world"' that my time at Colgate has been exactly whar I made ofir. Ir has been filled with
many changes, many lare nighu, many fond
memories, but in my opinion, most importu1dy ir has been filled with friendships th>r
wUI last far beyond graduation. As hard as ii
may be, when you arc overwhelmed by your
workload the pressure of final exam, 01 you
arc having one of those weeks where you arc suffering from cabin fever ar Colgate and
would give just abour anything 10 escape the arctic tundra ofHamilron, know that collogc,,
just like every other o:pcric.ncc, comes only once.
Those hasd days, while they take a toll on you, arc nor permanent. Today comes only
once, and (Omorrow will be a brand new day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that
every day be filled with Ice cream and rainbow,, bur try 10 cherish as many momenu as
possible ar Colgate.
Flnd that group or organization where you will th.rive, where you can lea~ your mark.
Enjoy those Sunday mornings afrcr a run 10 Dunkln' Donuu with your friends as you sir
down and !something great that happened roday because, as Eleanor Roosevelt said, "today is a glfr,
mat', why they call ir ,he prcscnr.·

So, this is really ir then? Thar scary G-word (hint nor the one that Tony the Tiger is so
fond oO loom, lug,:, and it's nearly time 10 leave the place that I've called home for the pas!
four years.
As I get down 10 the wire on my Colgate bucket lisr (though I still vow 10, one day, run up
the Pemon Hall S!pans of Colgate life that hav,: had such a big impact on me.
To be sure, I rally behind rhc ,ighr of Adam and (Sr)eve and the number 13 as much has
rhe nexr srudenr, bur the pa,u of Colgate thar I will miss the most dcfinirdy hav,: 10 do with
rh• pcopk and many different experiences I've had here.
Cliche? Dc6nircly. True? Mos, cenainly.
This newspaper, for in.stance, while representing only one cxtracur·
ricular opportunil}' at Colgate, ha.s simuhaneowly been a souroe of
tremendous comfon, vexation (nothing seems worse th.an leaving the
office ar 4 a.m.) and growth for me.
I've learned a lor from my long nighu spent working on rhc paper,
from uying no to Oxford comm,,s 10 observing the bes, smrcgy for
·Beat the Expcns" 10 picking up some dance and/or punching moves
from my fellow ecliron. This "marky" little office ruclJCC has been a haven for me throughout my Colgate career; no marccr what dasses I've taken, where on campus I've lived or what other
activities
been involved in, this good ol' institution has been a part
ofmy life every week as a rag-tag group ofsrudenu come together from
all different majon and baclcgrn,,nds 10 publish a newspaper designed
10 inform and enrenaln the Colgate srudcnt body.
Though I know l'v,: only played a ,mall part in the M11,...n-Nrwl,
tenure on campus (ir is, after all, the olde11 coll- ,ah, M-M), ii has cenainly meant a lot t0 me - and, obviously. a
rve
great deal (if nor all) of this has 10 do with the phenomenal editing staff that I've been lucky
enough 10 alrernativdy goof off and work with each week. Special thanks to rhc Tone taxi for
getting w home cvt':ry week.
Forrunarely for me, rhe newspaper wasn't the only cxrracurricuhr opportunlry I was able
10 enjoy at Colgate. Indeed, another cog of srudcnt life at Colgate, Greek Ufe, offered another
chance to exp.and my involvement and education outside the classroom. I've learned so much
from the approximately 120 other memben of Tri Delia (pl"' Chef Eric!), who continually
inspire, amaze and reach me thins- previo"'IY off my radar.
And, though I know this makes me sound like a huge nerd, I'm also going 10 miss the classes and professon and faculry who make ir possibk 10 be interested in even the mos, mundane
subjecu. (Who knew linear algebra could be funt) Oasses arc, after all, whar mosr of our time
revolves around as Colgarc srudenu, so thanks for making Ir all interesting and worthwhile.
While these represent only a few paru of Colgate life that make ir
so spc<:ial (well, these plus the milkshake runs and Suurday morning
farmen' rruukcts), these arc the things th>r have shaped my collogc,
career and me as a person. I've come ou.t of every experience with
a broadened world-view and skill-set (thank you, liberal aru education ...even if I don', have a job), and feel thar I'm a better pcnon
for the rclationshi()$ and friendshi()$ I've mad<: with the way-moreintclligenr people around me.
As the "real wortd• draws ever closer, I plan 10 appreciate these
aspcca of my Colgate experience for the few remaining wedu. It's
sriange 10 think thar, four years ago, I was afraid of going off tO Colgare, and now, I can't im,glne how dHfucnr my life would be wirhour
Ir and without _the people I've mer. (Ibanlcs again!)
For now, I'll hope this means thar the unknowable furore can be
just u wonderful as my Colgate career has been. To aU of my fellow
scnlon, here's 10 hoping thar life poor-G-word an be, in rhc words of
the ever optimistic tigc:r, ·G111111111teat!"

In Its marchup against Laf.ayettc, 'Gate

This win secured another winning record

the Raiders to a second place finish In the Patriot League.
Bol>Comdl
had three offensive stars at quanerbac:k,
running bac:k and wide receiver. The de..
fcnse had some impressive games and the
combination of solid play on both ends
kept 'Gate in every game they played.
That being said, Colgare football still
has a few questions to answer coming
into the 2011 ,ea.son. The molt notable
losses arc Sullivan and Ro,nick. Sullivan had a quarterback rating of 137.1
in 20 IO, completing 65 percent of his
passcs for 1,349 yards. Rosnick caught 49
balls for 646 yards and accounted for 7 of
the team's 10 touchdown catchet. Both
will be sorely missed. Still, Eachus is returning for his senior year and, though it
will be hard for him to top this year's performance, 2011 should be another great
year for the ru.nning back.
On defense, the Raiders arc losing
their top cackler and interceptor in ,enior
linebacker Chris OiMasu. Fortunately,
there arc no other huge lones to graduation and the defense should come back
nronger than ever.
Rising senior quarterback Steve Rlz.zo
will be the x..factor for the Raiders' sue..
ces.s next season. Eachus will be good,
but if there is not a solid pauing game
to back him up, the offense could be in
trouble. Luckily, Rizzo saw a good deal of
playing time in 2010 and sho'uld have no
problem stepping inro Sullivan's shoes.
Still, che running game will be chc pri•
mary focus for this team. If Riuo can
just match Sullivan's senior performance,
the Raiders will be in great shape tO win
the Patriot League in 2011.
