By Nalllaalel Lewis

Following a string ofclooed fra.
1emil)I parties lhat wen, intended
10 be open events, Universil)I officials have sought out a new.
more dependable c11cring company 10 bancllc ......,... events.
According to Associate Dean
of 1hc College and Director of
Campus Life Arlene Hunter, the
Univonity had been using 1hc
services or an lthtlca catering
company for two to 1hrec years.
Since the beginning of this new
academic year, however, the
company had difficull)I in auaining 1hc required, temporary permits from the New York Slate
Liquor Authorily.
'"Any problems that we have
had Ibis year wi1h procuring ca-
tering have strictly been a result
of the relationship be1wccn 1he
catering company and the state
authority." Hunter said. ••1 feel
that they may suspect a violation
of codes or bad business practices on the part of the caterer."
Without appropriate licensing
and permits, the caterer cannot
legally serve alcohol 11 University panics.
In ma ny instances, it seemed
as though the Ithaca company
had intended to recicve its temporary permit from the state
and was 1hcn denied only days
before an event it was scheduled to cater.
"Wc received extremely short
noticc from the caterer on many
occasions. Fraternities had paid
for bands, food and decorations
and then the lack of catering
would force us to make it a
closed party," Hunter said.
Most notable among thi s
year's catering gaffes was the
absence of caterers for 1he par-
tics at Beta Theta Pi. Delta UpsilonandAlphaTauOmcgaduring the first major party weekend of the academic year.
"[Adminis1ra1ors) had said,
'what are we doing wrong?' but
we found that the reason for the
lack of state permits was clearly ·
an issue between the State Liquor Authority and the catering
company, not one between the
state and Colgate," Hunter said.
Administrators are optimistic
about chc University's current
catering prospects. ''We met with
a loca1 busincssinan who runs a
very successful business located
about one half hour away. He
has licensing and even more
than the required insurance."
Hunter added.
Allhough 1he rumor of an ad,ninistrativc policy shift to having only closed parties had circulatcd on campus. Hunter rcitcrated that the administration
had been required to encourage
closed panics because ofUnivcrsity regulations and the volatility of the caterer.
"We want parties to be wi1hin
legal limits, and 10 operate as
safely and successfully as we can
possibly ensure," Hunter said.

·Islamic ·Mysticism Wows Audience
By Sarah Compter
ltf",wn-N~-"$ Stuff
As one of a few privileged uni•
vc-rsities across the nation, Colgate
hosted a Tuesday evening lecture
given by Oxford University's
Stephen Hirtcnstcin. Invited by
Professor of Religion Omid Safi.
Hinenslcin hoped 10 share details
about the life and thought of lbn
"Arabi .
Hirtcnstcin has recently published a book dedicated 10 the 1slam ic
mystic,
UnUmited
Mercifler: The Spiritual life and
Thought of lbn 'Arabi. In hopes
10 boch promoce his book and also
introduce his enthusiasm to Col-
gate students, Hirtenstein discussed lbn •Arabi and his teachings in both a general and detailed
manner.
The Jccturc welcomed students
both experienced and inexperienced with Islamic doctrine. As
fonunate as the Univcrsi1y is to
have hosted such an expen on Islamic mysticism, the s·pcakcr was
equally fervent about the lecture.
"You give me the opportunity to
talk about one ofthe few individu•
als that has been in humanity who
moves me 10 passion, rears, wondenncnt, in fact a whole panoply
of emotions that l couldn't possibly even give you the beginning
ofan inkling of," Hirtcnstein said.
Though revered by Sufi mystics
for centuries, the ideas and visions
of lbn •Arabi have just recently
erupted in Western culture. He
wrote at least 3SO volumes of
theory, prose and poetry recognized as classics throughout the
spiritual world. Referred 10 as alShaykh al-Akbar, or the Greatest
Master, lbn 'Arabi included in his
works ideas based on human wis•
dom and its manifestation as well
as the existence ofa world beyond
che physical, focusing on che undel'1ltanding of••sc1r·.
For Colgate studenc Tushar
Irani, one of the most significant
ideas Hirtenstein delivered was
his analysis of lbn 'Arabi's writings and their regard to human
experience.
.. Jusc as lbn 'Arabi himself
found every single thing in the visible world to have both its external and internal meaning, so too
must his reader employ some
deeper reflection when interpret•
ing the vast body of work he has
left us with," Irani said.
Hirtcnstein's lecture critically
evaluated the common understanding of Westernism today. Islamic faith is no longer considered
a part of the ,Western tradition.
Although Islam, Christianity and
Judaism all belong 10 the same
troupe and ..,peak the same language"' al some point, the Islamic
tradition was eliminated completely and the Jewish severely
reduced. according to Hirtcnstcin.
In part, Hirtenstein claimed tha1
the current image of Islam has
encouraged such a barring, Rather
than positive rcpresenta1ions or
the Muslim community. figures
such as Ramzi Yousef and Eyad
lsmoil, the World Trade Center
terrorists, appear in U.S. newspe•
pers. Therefore, "the popular image oflslarn is fundamcncally rac. ist, exclusive, antagonistic and all
of the chings people don't like,"
according to Hirtcnstein.
He claims tha1 the Western
world needs a view that embraces
all religious philosophies, much
like the scientific search for a unified field theory.
The exclusion of Islam from
Western thought is evident even
in our own community, Colgate's
Western Traditions core c lass
fails to include the Koran and or
other Islamic teachings in its
curriculum.
When asked to describe bolh the
most difficult and most rewarding
aspeccs of studying lbn •Arabi,
Hirtenstein responded without
hesitation. He claimed that the
unfamiliar tcnninology causes an
uncomfortable barrier. He a lso

Senior Cla~ Gift Underway For 2001
By Jell• Wedelet
Moroo,t-N,ws SmJ[
The project to raise funds for
this year's senior class gift is underway. The Class of 2001 will
lend its financial suppon to the
completion of several walkways
on the lower campus, inclading
one walkway from the new Liule
Hall to Case Library and one
walkway from Little Hall to the
Dana Ans Center.
"The walkways will reflect the
senior class' desire to leave a lasting lcgtc:y at Colgate." senior Matt
Nader said.
The cwo walkways will have a
cobblestone loolr. and plaques honoring the contributions of the senior class may possibly be set in
the stoneS on the walkways.
The Office of the Annual Fund
haa set a monetary goal of
$65,000, but Auistant Director of
thcAMual FundAngclaChongris
expects that the funds raised will
easily exceed that amount She
also expects that at least 75 percent of t.bc senior class will make
contributions.
The fund-raising effort will be
lead by about 70 volunteer,. The
entire senior class has been divided into groups of around I 0
or 12. Twenty top-level volunteers arc then assigned to ask
for contributions from these
groups.
This year's projec1 is unique
in that it is the first time a se-
nior class will be able to wit•
ncss the construction of its gift
10 the school and then enjoy
using it. Construction of the
walkways should be complete
before graduation, allowing
both seniors and underclassmen to sec the results of the
hard work put in by students
and alumni towards the
completion of the project.
According to Chongris, 1hcrc
are several positive aspects to
this year's senior class gift.
Chongris believes that it is important for seniors to give back
to an institution that has provided so much for them over
the pas1 four years. for seniors,
lhe class gift is intended to
serve as I starting point from
which they give back to the
school in the future as Colgate
alumni, Chongris said.
Chongris added that the senior
class gif1 also represents a
chance to recognize the alumni
con1ributions to the fund, which
work to keep Colgate functioning as a highly reputable liberal
arts university. These contribu•
tions make financial aid scholarships available to students and
also can affect the school's position in national rankings such
as those published in U.S. News
& World Report.
Chongris believes 1hat part of
running a successful fundraising
campaign includes issuing chal1cnges to seniors, parents and
alumni to contribute certain
amounts to the annual fund.
Members of the Prcsidcnl 's
Club are those who have given
panicularly generous gifts to 1he
fund. Membership requires a
minimum $100 donation the firsl
year after graduation.
According 10 Chongris, the
President's Club can be seen
not only as a giving level but
also as an exclusive organization that will give thanks to its
members by honoring them
with a dinner banquet to be I

Editor's Column
Stronger Bonds Formed Through Off-Campus Study
By Alison Fields
could write a book about the year I spenl away from campus. As part of two
Colgate study groups, my junior year was spent in Santa Fe, N.M., and in
London. I had 1wo extremely different experiences, both of which were invaluable. One of the most rewarding aspects of these cxpcricncc-.s is the connection I've
made with the students I shared them with.
Colgate is a much smaller community than either of the places I visited last year,
and yet it is so much more difficult to remain anonymous here. In London, I would
be pressed directly against any number of people on the Tube and not really fee l their
presence. I would pass hundreds of people in the street and know no one. Coming
back 10 campus, the only real shock I felt was returning to a place where so many
people knew my name. Being a close.. knit community opens up many opportunities.
but [ feel that we at Colgate have been slow to take advantage of them.
Although 1 recognize many more faces as I walk across campus, I've found it more
difficuh to maintain the sort of relationships the study group experience made poss ible. In Santa Fe, I spent four months with a group of nine people, giving us all
more than enough opportunities to uncover each 01her's strengths and weaknesses. I
realized how weird and wonderful and slightly dysfunctional everyone is in their
own way. The friendships formed through these experiences are real and lasting.
These arc the people with whom I drove across the country, hiked across the desert
and new across the ocean.
1l is true that 1 would not have developed these relationships had I no1 been planted
on 1he other side of the country with them. However, I worry that at Colgate people
become connected largely by circumstance and fail to look any further. Many of us
arc pans of groups and organizations and relate to people only in the.sc terms. For
instance, in the last three days I have received 45 e-mails from people on c.ampus.
Only three of them were written specifically 10 me. Words get tossed around end·
lessly, but I believe we 100 often fail to have the personal conversations that really
matter.
Although I had returned to Hamilton over the summer to visit friends, I felt a tan•
giblc difference the moment 1 stepped on campus this fall. As much as I wanted to
hold on 10 the past year, something about the Colgate environment just does not promote that kind of atmosphere. Spending time away from the campus, I've thought
more about the way Colgate funct ions as a social environment. Something here seems
10 encourage a kind of separation: it is often difficult to cross the gaps that divide us.
Taking part in study groups put me 1ogc1her with students that would have never
had the opponuni1y ·10 get to know on the level that J did. However, t believe we can
do more on the campus to build these kind of communities. By simply learning a
lit1le bit about our peers' background and beliefs, we are able to engage with them
more honestly and respectfully. It is difficult to understand differing points of view
without taking into account what may have shaped them.
The study group experience was very effective academically because it allowed us
10 s hare opions with people we know and felt comfortable with. Recently, initiatives
have been made on campus to promote more of a learning community. Linked classes
arc now being offered and the attempt was made for an on-campus study group. 1 feel
that these efforts will gather momentum slowly because they call for something that
is quite new for the Colgate student. To be successful, walls must be broken down in
s tudent relationships, their social interactions and their accustomed academic men·

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any•
thing against New York City, it is just the
fact that I am not from there, and the area I

both socially and politically. Someone obviously noticed this large discrepancy and

"secede" from the rest of New York State,

Hamilton and very similar socially to it.
Needless to say, Manhattan (which 1'm
picking on solely because it pretty much a
geographic center of NYC) differs quite a
bit. I realize I'm making some big generalization,, but I feel on the whole they arc
pretty accurate. The City 1ends to vole

exists nonetheless. 11 would be nice to have
some sort of tax relief, or at least get that
extra percentage put back into where I live.
Where is that money going? There arc two
easy answers.
The first is the state-funded university
system. Upstate, we've got the SUNY (State
J.Lniversity ofliew York) system, and NYC
has it's own, the CUNY (Qty l,b,ivrrsity
ofl:l.cw ):oil<). Both City and Upstate New
Yorlthat run independent of each other. If the
state were truly unified, there would be a
single education system. The problem arises
when we scrutinize the differences between
the two. Although people living ilt NYC arc
given tuition breaks at both schools, be it
SUNY or CUNY, those of us living upstate
cannot get breaks at CUNY schools, al,
though our tax dollars are helping to fund
them. Nol exactly fair, but that is minor.
The big problem is transportation. On

Somehow the ecs1a1ic State turned into
depression. The feel good was los1.
Sexual fulfillment led to unsafe sexual

The wizardry of Ecstasy is not produced by the wave of a Sorcerer's wand

Muhiple researchers have found evidence

alph Nader is going to lose the clcccion; this is not a surprise to any-
one. However, he could very well wind
up cos1ing Al Gore the election by divid-
ing an already split Dcmocnllic constitu•
ency. Ralph Nader himself admits that his
goal is not the White House. but rather 10
secure five percent of the vote and thus
secure federal funding for the Green Party
in 2004. Some Nadcritcs will admit that
their real goal is to impose ideological
discipline on a Democratic Party 1h11 they
sec as slipping to far to the Right and away
from it's craditional positions.
Indeed, many '"Green" voters are not
hard line environmentalists ac all, but protectionist minded union workers opposed
to the bipartisan free trade consensus that
has developed during the Clinton Administration, and which candidate Gore has
not repudiated in a sufficicnlly vigorous
fashion. What opposition to free trade
tha1 does exis1 in the Dcmocra1ic Party
is stealth opposition, couched in the language of .. fair trade" that seeks to export
onerous American regulatory regimes to
our prospective trading partners, and thus
render them uncompctitivr:. This raises a
problem for candidate Gore: in spite of
the recent rise of the 1rial lawyers as a
major source of funding, and public sec•
tor unions as a source of votes, the Demo.
cratic Party is still quite depcndcn1 on private sector unions for financial support,
and union workers for votes on eleclion
day.
Nader's candidacy, a serious procest effort this season, unlike his bizarre 1996
Green Party campaign in which he spent
less than SS,000 and garnered only a few
inconsequenlial votes from lhe left
fringe, raises the prospect of a three way
split in the union vote in an election that
is shaping up to be the closest Presidential contest since Kennedy-Nixon in 1960.
This division could be fatal for the Gore
campaign and serves to highlight some serious fault lines within the Democratic
Party. The prosp«tive division is between
disenfranchised union voters who feel lhat
the Democratic Party has abandoned them
with its shili from pro1cctionism to free'
trade, union voters who feel lhat Ibey
would be best served by remaining within
the Democratic Pany and s«king to control the trade agenda and shape it to their
own ends. and those union members who
feel that the Democratic Pany, and to a
certain extent their own leadership, has
moved away from a traditional working
class platform into a region of radical
identity politics that does not sit well with
union members of a more traditional social orientation.
The Democratic Party has traditionally

relied heavily on union vo1ers to secure
elec1oral majorities. These voters in re•
tum received policy 1h11 was thought to
be in their interest; 1his is how all elec•
tions work. However, the Democratic
Party has been treating union workers
poorly as of late. The Democrats have
become a free trade party; this has been
fiercely opposed by unions. bul to no
avail. The Clinton Administration has
supported free trade, with only a few gestures at supporting "fair trade" made to
placate the unions. At the same time. the
Democratic social agenda has been moving increasingly far left, and includes
prominent support of groups who arc not
quite, shall we say, mainstream. In short
this leaves your basic union voter, who
may well be quite socially conserva1ive
and not really support many of the issues
his union dues money is being used to
support, feeling mistre11ed, undervalued
and wondering why to support the Democratic Party.
There are, however, alternatives. The
major one is voting for George Bush. This
is basically the Reagan Democrat phenomenon, and one thal I think will play a
large role in the election as ii becomes increasingly apparent to union rank and file
that support for the Democratic Party does
not necessarily mean support from the
Democratic Party on trade issues, and lhat
union dues, laundered through PACs, arc
being used 10 advance causes 1bat actual
union members would never support with
their own money if given the choice.
The fact tha1 some traditional Democratic
voters will switch over. CSJ)CCially at the top
of the ticket, is not new. The Democratic
Party in the post has been able 10 deal with
this phenomenon. What is new this year is
that the third party challenger is on 1hc lcn,
rather than on the right. as with Ross Perol'
campaigns in 1992 and 1996. The threat for
the Democrats is not that Ralph Nader will
win, but rather that he will siphon votes
away from the Democratic Party in Mid•
western swing states.
Private sector union members, as opposed to public union members who have
a vested interest in continual government
expansion and a reliably Democratic, have
increasingly felt disconnected from the
Democra1ic Party's social agenda and
have begun voting for Republican candidates that they feel more comfortable
with. This in itself is a threat but the danger for the Democrats is tha1 disenchanted union members have two
choices, rather than one. Nader offers a
protectionist choice, while Bush offers
a socially conservative one.
This double siphoning of votes from the
Democrats is made more potent by the
Electoral College; because the President
is not simply elected by the popular vote,
but rather by Electoral College votes in
winner take all state-by-state blocs, the
possibility exists that Nader will take
enough votes from Gore in the Rust Belt
10 swing those slates to Bush.
Union members essentially have three
choices, none of them perfect. Choice
one is to vote for a free trader with a leftist social agenda; this is A l Gore. Choice
two is a protectionist with a leftist so~
cial agenda: this is Ralph Nader. Choice
three is a free trader with a conservative
social agenda; this is, obviously, George
Bush. I submit that there is a good siz-ed
bloc of voters wishing for c hoice fo ur: a
protectionist wi1h a conservative social
agenda. That describes Pat Buchanan, but
when was the last time anybody heard
from Pat?
Of the three realistic choices, Al Gore is
in the dangerous position of offering nei·
thcr quality desired by our suspected bloc
of union voters: he is both a free trader and
a liberal, the worst of both possible worlds.
Bush is the candidate offering conservative
social policy, and Nader offers protectionism, admiucdly tied to a social agenda to
the left of Gore. I suspect that in a very close
election, enough union votes will desert
Gore for either social conserva1ism or protectionism 10 swi1ch a few Midwest states

Death Penalty. A Missed Opportunity For Gore Campaign
By Slentor Danielson
cxas Governor George W. Bush has
lcfi himself wide open in 1hc las1
1wo presidential debates. But Al
Gore, 1hough looking for a way to Slop
his slide in the polls, has been unable 10
attack.
Las, Wednesday, Bush was doing well
expressing understandable misgivings
about hate crimes laws that would make
some murders more illegal than other
equally heinous ones. Then he turned to
1hc specifics of the case in point - the
1998 racially mo1iva1cd dragging dcalh
of Jomes Byrd in Texas - and fell na, on
his face. Wi1h an unseemly smile, Bush
said, "The 1hrcc (actually 1wo] men who
murdered James Byrd, guess what's going 10 happen to them? They' re going to
1:>c put to death." But the Gore campaign
dido 't seem 10 notice.
The issue was raised again on Tuesday. when one questioner challenged
Bush over the 145 inmates - many convicted under questionable circumstances
- Texas has executed on his watch. Bush
tried 10 have it both ways, saying .. I'm
not proud of that." while reaffirming his
earlier suggestion 1hat Texas' judicial
system (at least with regard to the death
penally) is pcrfcc1. Allhough the spin factories are only just getting warmed up as
I write this, I doubt the Gore campaign
will make much of this stumble, either.
So why hasn't Gore picked up on lhis
obvious weakness? Even diehard death
penalty supporters like Illinois Governor
George Ryan have been questioning the
system's effcc1iveness of late. And it's
. certainly not rrom a lack of statistics. the
lifeblood or a policy wonk like Gore. The
Texas Defender Service issued a report
Monday (which go< plcn1y of press) dctaihng the questionable evidence, poor
counsel. racial bias and judicial miscon-
T
duel that have put so many Texans on
death row.
Gore's problem is 1hat, no matter how
terribly it may be administered in Texas,
he stil1 supports the principle of capita)
punishment. In his response to Bush in
Tuesday's debate, he seemed more concerned with reassuring voters (a majority of whom s1ill suppor1 capi1al punish•
menl) 1ha1
he wouldn't
hesitate to
end
the
lives of the
worst off c n de rs ,
rather than
bammcring
Bush 1hc
way he did
on other issues, from
education to
taxes. Even
his state·
mcn1
of
support for
such measures
as
ONA lcSling seemed
to ignore
1hc possibili1y 1hat Bush migh1 disagree.
We could argue from here to kingdom
come over whether the state has the right
10 take its citizens' lives, and whether the
closure for lhc victims· loved ones out•
weighs the growing evidence that exccu1ion is neither a helter deterrent nor
cheaper than life without parole. But it
is clear that the systematic problems in
how the punishment is meted out in
Texas require a serious look at reali1y,
not a bland affirma1ion of idealized prin·
ciplcs.
For example, finding defense counsel
for Texas· murder suspects scrapes the
bonom of1he legal barrel. On two occasions, says the Texas Defenders Service,
a defense attorney used court time to
catch up on some shut.eye. Appeals arc
halfhearted and almost half introduce no
new evidence. The prosecution's evidence, meanwhile, is often misleading or
jus, plain false.
The sys1em
also shows a
clear
bias
against minorities. both
as victims an4
alleged killers. The latest
report shows
1ha1 percent of a ll
murder vie•
tims are black,
only 0.4 percent of murder
convictions
are for black
dca1hs. The
comparable
statistics for
white women
are one percent of mur·
ders and 34 percent of convictions. Meanwhile, 40 perccnl of dea1h row inma1cS
arc black and 22 percent arc Hispanic.
Unfortunately, Gore doesn't dare star,
pointing these things out. It's too fine a
distinction to draw in this instan1-analysis sound-bite media environment be1ween attacking the system and attacking how the system functions. As soon
as Gore opens his mou1h to draw atten•
tion to that aspect of Bush's record, the
Bush campaign will cry "hypocrite" and
cite Gore's support of the death penalty.
1n trying to defend his position , he'll be
made to look like a waffler or a panderer.
He can afford neicher after the Bush
campaign's recent successes in raising
quc'stions about Gore's credibility.
Gore can't send running ma1c Joe
Liebcnnan to do it either, even though
Lieberman has been on a "Don't Mess
Wilh America Texas Trulh Tour" poin1ing ou1 Bush's nawed record in mus such
as heallh care and the environment.
Liebennan is also a death penalty supponer and has 1aken Oak for changing his
formerly more conservative positions after joining the Gore team.
This is a situalion in which even die•
hard Gore fans could wish for a strong
candidacy from Oreen Party nominee
Ralph Nader. Nader could be Gore's
proxy in going af'lcr Bush, as ['m sure he
would waste no time in pointing out 1he
inconsistency of Bu~h ·s confidence and
Texas' record. And, as a death penalty
opponent, he has little to lose in the credibility depanment. But while polling a
measly five pcrcen, (a, bes<) na1ionally,
Nader simply can't hold the media's ear
and is dis1ractcd by his struggles for le·
gitimacy.
Bush told 1he few Americans able to tear
themselves away from the Mariners·Yankees game that he thinks .. if it's adminis·
tered swiftly, justly and fairly, ii saves
lives." Somebody needs to 1ell him that
n0nc of those adjectives applies in Texas.
But Gore will have a hard time doing that
after echoing Bush's approval of a well-run
dea1h penally case.
The race is still ncck•and-neck, and mo·
mcntum of late has been in Bush·s favor.
Gore needs to be able to seize upon any
misstep by Bush if he wanes to win. The
Vke President is at his best poking holes in
opponents' positions on issues. h's a shame
(or, for those in the Bush camp. a lucky
break) 1.!1at he can't take advantage of this
la1es1 blunder.
lhe world converge, there is bound 10 be
conflict because of their ideological differences and practices. On top of this, generational vendettas and their continuous
struggle for power in this volatile region
provide an unlimited fuel supply to the fire
of1his endless cycle of violence.
Unfonuna1ely, lhe violence and anilUdes
arc not contained in this region. The attack
on a Uniled S1&1Cs Naval ship, USS Cole,
in lhe port city of Aden, Yemen, killing 17
US sailon, is speculated 10 be a response
to Uniled Slates involvement and link IO Is_,_ Also, US embusies in lhe region arc

it's only feebly recognized politically in

I would like 10 sc:e peace occur, bu1 do

will not scnle the anacr of centuries of
warfare. The lynching or the Israeli soldiers in Ramallah and the honilic imaae
of a 12 year-old Palestinian boy shot dead

The Endless Cyck OfVioknce
By Oer,k Hom
pending countless hours among my
wall of books, listening to the constant
drone of d«:iphcring messy handwriting from my notes, I decided it was time
for a break. Seeing that lam in the Colgate
bubble nestled among these gentle auburn
hills of central-New York in autumn, a quick
glimpse of the world's activi1ies will offer
an escape from tackling the volumes of
logic. It will wake mt in Rip Van Winkle·
like fashion from my hibernation among my
academic studies during this time of mid1crm mayhem.
In sports, [ checked the many soccer
games of the European leagues and was
pleased tha1 Manchester United are s1ill a1
1hc 1op oflhc English premiership. Herc 01
home, America's greatest pas1ime reminds
us 1ha11hc legendary fcaWillie Mays arc coming 10 1hc end of the
season with the American and National
League Oampionships. No1urally, I roo1cd
ror my hometown team of the Seattle Mariners in their cla.sh with lhe Yankees, in
hopes of nullifying New Yorkers expccta·
tions for a subway series and thrilling Red
Sox fans everywhere.
On to domestic news. To me. the presidential debates are a bore and things seem
pretty calm around the nation. As I naviga1e to the World section of the Bri1ish
Broadcas1ing Corpora1ion (BBC) websile,
[ am met with another massive rcpon and
special analysis section on the violence in
1he Middle Eas1, again. Whal is going on?
As much as I am in 1hc Colga1e bubble,
J am also in the bubble of living in the
United States. There arc no major clashes
between religious groups and racial
groups. Racial 1ensions do exist, but arc
not as widespread and violent as they arc
in other parts of the world. From my
point-of-view and the environment I was
raised in, the Uni1ed States is a fairly
easy-going country tha1 seems to func1ion
regardless of race or religion.
Whal panicularly Slruck me abou1 Middle East crisis was when a lost convoy
of Israeli lrOOpl acciden1&1ly strayed inlO
S
lhc Palestinian town of Ramallah in the
West Bank. The soldiers were taken into
1hc custody of the Palestinian police only
10 be ovc1V1hclmed by angry Palestinians
on a lynching spree. It appears that the
lynch mobs motives were to exact old vcn·
dcuas from 1hcir centuries-long religious
and personal grudges passed down from one
generation to the next. Sadly, two lsracli
soldiers were killed, adding to the insur·
mountable death 1ally from 1his endless
conflict.
The picture of a Palestinian raising his
hands covered in the soldiers' blood is evidence of how remorseless and gruesome the
conflict has goncn.
However. Israel rc1alia1ed by sending
a helicopter air•strikc mission on the Palestinian settlements in Ramallah wound·
ing several people. More violence erupts
throughout the rest of Israel in the West
Bank, Gaza S1rip and Hebron. As I fervently skim the articles and analysis of
more clashes with Israelis and Palestinians resulting in more people wounded
and killed, there is one clash between the
Palestinians and Israelis that caught my
atten1ion. The video images captured by
a France 2 newscasl cameraman show a
Palcs1inian 12 year-old boy and his falher
pinned down by Israeli gunfire in the
Gaza Strip. They were rch1.ming to their
home in a refugee camp from a market
fair when lhey gol caughl in 1he middle
of [sraeli troops a1tcmp1ing to subdue a
Palestinian riot. The horrific pic1ures of
1he father shielding his son from the dangerously inadvenent Israeli bullets failed
as they were pinned down for 45 minutes.
Sadly, 1hc boy was hil with four bullelS
and killed, while the father is spar,d his
life, bul wounded. In addilion 10 lhe
young boy's dealh, lhe ambulance driver
that tries to rescue them is killed and his
partner is injured.
From rcadina lhe daily evcndealhs arc not lhe faull of one or lhe other
bu< from the accumulalion of hatred through
lhe cenluries that is difficult for both sidea
10 resolve. Whcte dnc ffllUOr reliaiODI of

Today and tomorrow SGA
is running a shuttle bus from up
the hill to various points downtown. If we find that students
utilize this service, SGA will
sponsor this shuttle on a weekly
basis.
The shuttle started running today at 2 pm and will continue running until IO pm this
evening. Tomorrow service will
begin at 11 am and last until 3
pm. If the shuttle service continues, the hours will not be as extensive. It will run for approximately 7 hours, depending on
what hours we find are the most
heavily traveled during this trial.
After making stops at both
Frank and the Coop up the hill,
the shuttle will travel downtown,
making stops at GU and Ames as
well as the laundrymat. The
shuttle will be making this route
continuously during its hours of
operation. This way the shuttle
should be at each stop approximately every 15 minutes.
SGA feels that the shuttle
will give students a good opportu-
nity to go downtown and support
the local merchants while making
it easier for students to get the products that are not readily available
to them on campus.
If the shuttle continues,
SGA will work with the local
merchants to see if it would be
possible for the stores downtown
to provide a 5 percent discount
to students who shop while the
shuttle is running.
To take advantage of the
shuttle, stl!dents must present
their Colgate ID to the driver, but
there is no extra fee for students
should we continue the service.
Please contact SGA and
let us know what you think about
the shuttle and how we could
improve the service. This is a
service for students, so if you
have ideas of how this could be
more beneficial send us an e-mail
or give us a call .
The

is

phone number for the SGA office is extension 7329. I look forward to hearing from you.

Beyond his active role with Brothers.
Brooks plays the free safety position on
the varsity football t~m. He's been

joyed his experience here at Colgate. "It
has taught me self-discipline as a leader
on campus, in football and with my academics," Brooks said.
Some of his other leadership roles in-

affect a child's life." he said. He is also
a member of the fellowship of Chris1ian Athletes.
Brooks has two jobs on campus, one
with the Colgate helpline, a computer
support team for students and faculty.
His second job is a peer counseling program for lint-year football players who
have eome through the OUS program.
He provides guidance for seven or

Karate Holds Strong Despite Lineup Change
By Pblll Ramey
Maroon-News Slaff
11 seems as 1hough nothing can change
a band like a transformation in line-up.
Other than just being a shock to the
physical cn1ity that is the band, the music created can become e nhanced for the
better or in some cases worse. Sonic
Youth recently added its fifth member,
Jim O'Rourke. and 1he results have been
astounding, with greater cxpcrimcnta•
tion and dramatic energetic live performances being the result.
The
opposite
change occurred
with the band Karate, After their 1997
album, In Place of
Real Insight, second
g u i la r i s t/voca Ii st
Eamonn Vin. who
previous to the Join-
1
ing of current bassist
Jeff Goddard had
played bass, decided
10 leave the band in
order to pursue a
medical degree. Although ii is hard to
say whether Karate was already on 1hc
road to change in 1997, the album postVitt has a distinctly different sound.
In the three years between In Place of
Real Insight and the most recent relc.asc,
Unsolvtd, Karate has gone from what
some may call a slightly mellower
Fugazi to a band with a greater empha·
sis on jazz and blues. What could have
made the band decide to abandon the
intense vocal cacti cs resembling those of
Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto to pur..
sue a more minimalis1 vocal and musical style?
The important thing is that the current
Karate s1ill manages to offer some1hing
completely different and pleasing to
those with a keen musical taste. One may
wonder what the appeal of Karate could
be now that they do not feature hard-hitting drums, distorlion driven guitars or
screaming vocals. The answer 10 this is that
Karate's beauty lies in its simplicity. Tracks
like "The Lived-But-Yet-Named" and
"Number Six" arc perfcc1 examples of this.
Guitarist/vocalist GeoffFarina softly strums
his chords and lets his spoken vocal style
softly float above the music. As the tracks
move on drummer Gavin McCarthy and
bassist Jeff Goddard set down a slow simple
rhythm over which Farina •s smoolh sounding guitar solo slides.
Be sure not to let this make you think that
Kanne is music IO nap IO. The band's laid back
and simplistic style
still allows for intensity. On the track
"One Less Blues,"
Farina's chord progression makes
brief
dances
through dissonance
causing 1hc listener
moments oftension
1ha1 arc accentuated
by McCarthy's
punching of the
kick drum. Tension
and
mellow
minimalism are not
all Karate is ca·
pable of doing one listen to "Sever'' is sure to reinforce this
idea with Goddard's grooving bass line that
will make even the most square human being
want to at least wiggle his toes.
While some may claim that nothing is better than a fas1 beat and distorted guitars, Unsolved is an album that challenges this no·
tion. The band has pu1 out a cool, con1cmpla1ive album that can be enjoyed by all
wishing 10 ge1 more ou1 of music than the a
simple yea.ming to thrash their heads.
Karate's Unsolved will be released on Qc..
tober 23. A preview of 1hc album was offered by Karate when they played at Colgate
on Scp1cmbcr 30, 10 a very appreciative
crowd. For those ofyou that missed the coneen sponsored by S.C.O.P.E., check out
www.supersphere.com for live concert foo1age. More general infonnation can be found

"Why Pan 2" debuted a, 1hc 1op of modem rock radio chans
and will most likely be moving up.
Lead singer and gui1uris1 Ed Roland
had actually written a song called "Why" for
thccarty demos ofwhat was 10 becomcHi1tl.f,
Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid. The song
appeared on a B-side ofan international sing.le
release and as no110 confuse the old with the
ncwhedeeidcdon the namcof"Why Pan 2"
for the new song. This song and the others
are the very likable maniagc of heavy bass
rock power chords and earsplitting guitar riffs.
The melodics s1ick in your head and 1hc guitar riffs leave you humming them long after
the dlsc is finished playing.
However, Blender rcprcsc.ntS a change
in style and production method, for the band.
The band in the past had paired with producer
Man Screltic who was responsible for their
early albums, as well as rock bandsAerosmith.
Angie Aparo, Neve and Matchbox 20. The
band opwho is known for his collaboration with Duran
Duran, at the helm.
The album was recorded in 1hcir hometown
of Atlanta and the five member,; of the band
opcring daily in their regular rehearsal space to
write and record. Their idea was 10 create an
atmosphere of spontaneity in order to bring a
sense of immediacy IO the final product.
The result of this laid-back approach can
be found in the last minute addition of singer/
songwriter Shawn Mullins and Funkadclic
member Jerald Jackson to the song "Vent"
who happened to be recording in 1hc s.1.mc
studio on the same day as Collective Soul.
Mullins can be heard singing the line "J love
you cause you 're such a prick" during the
breakdown of1he song while Jackson hitS up
his clavinct on the track.
ln addition 10 the 1hreatcning and inlimi·
daring driving guitar of "Vent." there are a
few other musical gems on the album. The
firs1 comes in "Pcrfec1 Day" fca1uring none
other than Sir Elton John himself on piano
and vocals. The band had become mends wnh
the pan time Allanta rcsidcn1 after 1hc release
of their first album. During preproduc1ion for
Blender they hod
asked him if he
would like to sing
on a song for the
album. He agreed
on the spot and the
outcome is a
soothing. radio
friendly, rock song
with a crazy. in.
tense piano solo
Elton's ,.,oicc also
'
adds a niccchm1gc
of

'
gravely but sincere voice of
Roland which e.an
often make listen·
ing more ac1ivc
than passive.
Also found is a punkish cover of the lo•ti
Boston band Morphine's, "You Speak My
Language" whom the band lout$ an influence. Hidden within 1he song "Over Tokyo"
are background vocals provided by A1lan10
residcntS Butch Walker and Jaycc Fincher of
1hc Marvelous 3.
The band has olso proved thm they can pony
with the best of them by placing 1heir faces
on the cover of the album. a respon.,;e 10 the
accusation 1hat "Collective Soul is a faceless
band".
The name forthcalbum comes from a 17ycar old who was one of 12,000 participant!\
in a contest spon.~rcd by Atlanta rock radio
sta1ion 99X called "Collcc1ivc Soul-t..-ction"
where people could submit names for the album to be chosen by the band. Not only did
the lucky winner reccio.rc free CDs for his winning cnuy bu1 also admission to Collective
Soul shows and his name in the album crcJi1s, often a coveted achievement in music
circles.
Even though the band members aren't g~tting any younger their desire and passion for
the intensity and sincerity of class rock rings
throughout the album, There are the obvious
inOucnces of the Cars and 1hc Clash on 1he
album but Collccuvc Soul ha~ once again
stuck 10 their task of making driving. gui1or fueled rock music. With hopes of one day
having enough albums to wke up 1wo racks
in a music store, the band appears to be well
on 1hcir way.

Mets Simply Next Victim Of Yankees
Thatis
All
I'm supposed to wri1c about the Subway Series. After a ll , what else in the
sports world really mailers over the next
week when the
Yankees and
Mets will be ut•
isfying every
New Yorker's
dream by actually colliding in
the Fall Classic?
I'm looking forward to the spec·
taclc as much as
the next Big
Apple ranatic.
And I was going
10 use the column 1his week to congratulate the Mets fana far their team getting
this rar, and then apologize for the beating that they will surely suffer at the bats
and gloves orthe Bronx Bombers. Maybe,
as an arrogant Yankees fan, that would
have been too easy for me. Or maybe I
came across this quote and couldn't resist the change in topics:
"Sometimes I overreact when I should
not."
Achieving the unders1atcmcnt of the
millennium, Mike Tyson uttered these
words at a pre-fight press conference for
his battle with Andrew Oolota that takes
place tonight in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Whenever the subject of Mike Tyson
comes up, it is too hard not to comment
on the troubled, sad - albeit at times so
absurd iCs funny - life of the former
heavyweight champion.
Sometimes he overreacts? Right, and
sometimes the Yankees win the World Sc·
rics. While it might be seen as a welcome
change in Tyson's personality that he
owned up to his occasional boorish behavior, the truth of the matter is that
Tyson's put in not filled with overreactions. but simply with reactions. There
have been far too many sordid situationa
in the fighter's paat for him to shrug them
otT u his temper simply setting the bell
or him for a brief period of time. To - a
des<:ribe him - Tyson is a walking time
bomb. The only considerations are who
is goin& to be around when he goes off.
and how strong will the detonation be.
The moat extreme example of Tyaon's
rage, of course, occurred in I 991 when
he raped eighteen-year old Desiree Wash•
ington. Tyaon wu convicted the following year. After initially denyin& the
chargea, Tyson •overreacted" in an interview after his relcuc from prison in 1995,
blunina out "So I raped her'I So wbat?"
Without getting into too mt1eh detail coaccmina Tyson's numerous other "overrc•
actions." he also bit Evmder Holyfleld's

Hokies Look To Knock OffSyracuse, Ranain In Tide Hunt
Another week into the season, another
team bites the dust. Well, two actually. As
Queen, the famed rock group, rings through
the ears of Ohio
State and Kansas
State, college
football is left
with only four un•
defeated teams
and a quickly
shri nking national title picture.
Forget Florida
State, Florida,
Tennessee or
Michigan. Except for Nebraska the title
scene holds unfamiliar faces that include
Virginia Tech, Oklahoma and Clemson. It
is hard 10 imagine a possible trip 10 the Orange Bowl including a Big 12 team that has
just recently gotten back to respectability
or a perennial ACC squad that has been second fiddle 10 Bobby Bowden 's troops. but
after an up and down year of college football, anything seems possible. Despite their
currcn1 flawless records, however, don 'I
expect these teams - with the exception of
Nebraska - 10 be making the post-New
Year's 1rip 10 Miami.
That includes Virginia Tech. Unfortunately for the Hokies, who go into Syracuse this weekend having never won in the
Carrier Dome under Head Coach Frank
Beamer, the only trip to Miami will be their
November 4 matchup with the 4-1 Hurricanes. Quarterback Michael Vick, who has
had a sub-par season thus far, will need to
be practically perfect in order to defeat a
team that upset the top-ranked Seminoles
in the thriller of the year. Losing eight defensive starters will finally catch up 10 the
Hokics leaving Nebraska searching for a
dance partner.
Virginia Tech will get that elusive vic-
tory in the Dome, though, being that
Michael Vick on turf is about as explosive
as Bobby Knight at a press conference. The
loss will put Syracuse at 3-4 and Coach Paul
Pasqualoni on the hot scat. Ironically, the
entire game could have had a reversal of
fortune, as Pasqualoni was the unfortunate
nmner-up in the recruiting of both Vick and
star wideout Andre Davis. Davis is coming
off an impressive week where he gained 273
total yards and three touchdowns: one rec-eiving, one rushing and one on a punt return.
Syracuse is in for a tough night on defense as the Hokies snack with Vick, Davis
and running back Lee Suggs, who combine
to give the Hokies and average of over 300
rushing yards per game. Last year's statement game for Virginia Tech was its battle
against the Orangemen, except the only real
battle was the one the Syracuse defense had
with the oxygen tank as Tech burned it 620. Orangemen quarterback Troy Nunes wu
intercepted four times against Boston College last week and a duplication of that performance will leave Syracuse Vicktimizcd.
Speaking ofdance partners, Heather Sue
Mercer should have been looking for ballet
slippers rather than cleats when she decided
10 take on the Duke University football
team. Mercer. a female student - ..athlete"
from Duke University, exercised her airl
power when she tried lo walk on u a ltidter
10 the men's football team. Naturally, upon
being cut, it seemed obvious grounds for a
lawsuit. I mean, how could I women not
make a Division I football team that faces
the likes of Florida State and Clemson? It
must be gender discrimination.
Mercer definitely believed so when a
Greensboro, N.C., jury awarded her a S2
million dollar senlcmcnt. Mercer, who wu
not the only kicltcr cut, claimed she wu able
to kick from 48 yards out, but wu more
"comfonablc" from 43. Would someone
please tell me when 48 yards and a senac of
comfon have become the benchmarks for
football success? This is Division I, a realm
where you need to be ready to nail the S3yard game-winner, where lack of IIICCCSS
finds you on the bench, where millions of
dollars arc invoa1ed in the athletic prop9ffll
lookina to cnsun: 1o,c:cess: Mercer would
have a difficult time beina nmeif "com-
fortable" from 43.
Sony to doubt your abilities, Heather, but
tiankly I am not "comfortable" with unnecessary lawsuits 1h11 can be just u easily
scnled on • field with a pigskin and posts.
Title IX is necessary and important to ensuring the equality of men and women in
sports. However. do not claim discrimina-tion when you simply can not cut it.
It may not be the Subway Series, but it is
that time again for the annual Michigan
State - Michigan duel. The battle for the
Paul Bunyan trophy comes at a crucial time
for the Spartans who after rising to I Sth in
the nation accompanied with a 3-0 star1 1
have lost their last three games, all in conference. Head Coach Bobby
Williams is faced with a slight
quarterback controversy be·
tween incumbent Ryan Van
Dyke and freshman JefTSmokcr.
Williams is sticking with Van
Dyke hoping to end the skid and
work toward a winning season.
Michigan will not make it any
easier. Coming off a S8-0 drubbing over Indiana, Michigan looks to
avenge its 34-31 Ion to State laat year.
Michipn should be able to come thnJu8li
with the win in the Big House leaving
Michipn State u lbe only Bia Ten team
without a conference victory. Don't wony
Spartan fans, baaketball season and the defense of the national title is only a few
weeks away.

This reply made it apparent that Tyson's
checkered history cannot be blamed on
his surroundings. Some Tyson defenders
- why people actually choose 10 defend
this man's right 10 a career in boxing is
beyond my comprehension - have been
known 10 deflect blame for some of
Tyson's actions from the man himself to
his contemptible entourage. The afore-
mentioned answer. however, proves that
Tyson is his own man. He does DO! listen
to those around him when it comes to
making clecision, and conducting him-
self, for if he did, he would know ho•
Icing it takes to kill someone. He'd simply have 10 ask his former long-lime promoter, Don King.
The tragic humor in the story ofTyso,
lies in the absurdity of bow he is perceived. For awhile, he waa taking the ...
tidepresaant Zolofl, but had to be taken
off it before fighta because it affee1ed his
performance. Tyson's handlers DOW say
that their fighter is taking new medication, but Tyson claims not to know whJl
haa replaced Zoloft. Either way, thos1
who watched the press conference actually refened to Tyaon u upbeat, thlllks 10 the new mystery drug. Tilis wu the sam<

With Emphasis On Youth, NHL Season
The National Hockey League kicked
off its 2000-200 I season last week in Japan, a ridiculous extravaganza better
known as ··Game

the legendary crooner Wesley Willis:

of the litle would
have made this
event more interesting.
The NHL, still
unaware of the
fact that fans don't care if the Japanese
play or watch h0<:kcy, sent the abysmal
Nashville Predators and the bargain basement Pinsburgh Penguins to the land of
the r i sing sun for two back-to-back
games. This lame attempt at increasing
global interest in the NHL ended in a split,
with the Prcds and the Pens heading back
home with I• I records. The games were
quite popular in Japan, yet 10<:al promot·
crs were disappointed when they were no1
able to incorporale lhe even1 wi1h a
Godzilla, Pokemon or twisted and/or pornographic cartoon theme.
Ignoring the Nf-fL'sAsian advcn1ure, i1s
first season of the third millennium will
be an exciting showcase of the growing
youth movement that has taken the league
by storm . The impressive
Stanley Cup run by the New
Jersey Devils, a team laden
with excellent young players,
has proven 10 the rest of the
league 1hat expensive veterans
do not guarantee the Cup, i.e.
the New York "You're old, want SIO million?" Rangers. The focus on youth has
no1 been comple1cly voluntary, since the
league finds it necessary 10 thin out the
shrinking pool of talent the world has to
offer through the exciting process of- you
guessed it - expansion. The time has
come for two more 1cams to enter the
arena and fail miserably for five or six
years. On the docket for Y2K are Minnesota and that hotbed of hockey enthusiasts, Columbus, Ohio. Undcr,;tandably,
1hesc learns will be atrocious, but that's
neither new nor important
What catches my eye is the absurdity
of the names of these organizations. Who
came up with the Minnesota Wild? Should
I be wild about them? Why didn't they
pull a Cleveland Browns and use the old
North Stars name? Then Dallas can call
themselves the Sou1h Stars, irritating
sportscasters around the country. However, "Wild" is not as nearly as insulting
to the intelligence as 1hc Columbus "Blue
Jackets.·· Who gave these people the right
10 dress an insect like General Sherman?
I have no recollcc1ion of any fighting during the Civil War going on in central
Ohio. Nevcnheless, these two fine organiza1ions will be trampled upon in their
divisions and will gel wonderful draft
picl.s next year. so they should try to lose
every game they play.

such as Scotl Gomez, John Madden and

games and not make the playoffs, which in
hockey means you arc really, really bad.

Crew Ends Fust Varsity
Season This Weekend
By J-pb Brazauskas
Moroon-Nnn StaJ['
The inaugural varsity crew sea.
son is underway. The Red Raiders began the fall season with a
race on the Eric Canal at the Head
of the Eric in Rome, N.Y. While
this race has been popular in the
pas1. this year the main competition took place between Colgate,
Hamilton, and Syracuse. Colgate
sent two men's varsity eights. both
evenly strengthened as well as a
men's novice boa1 and two four
man boats. The women's team was
also represented with one varsity
eight, two fours, and a novice
eight
The weekend proved to be very
good for all of the Colgate crews.
The two men's eights finished
within four seconds of each other
in a very close race and were
beaten only by Hamilton, rowing
in honor of a teammate who
passed away only days before the
race. The time for the Colgate
crews were 16:00.7 and 16:03.4
respectively. Tbe two men's four's
finished fi11t and second beating
out Hamilton by a rathct large
margin of over four minutes. The
men's novice ream placed second
losing to Syracuse, but looked
promising for the future of Red
Raider rowers.
The women also had a very
promising weekend. The varsity
eights beat out Hamilton by eleven
seconds, posting a 17:34 over the
thrce•milc course. The women's
fours finished fi111 and sapinst Cucnovia easily defeating
their crews by over I minute. Thi:
novice boat was also successful
finishing second to Hamilton but
still showing the presence of the
Red Raiders. The overall point's
trophy was given to Colga1c due
to the fine work displayed by all
boats in the Head of the Eric.
The Red Raiders improved
upon their season opener the fol.
lowing weekend a11hc Stonehurst
Capital Invitational Regata in
Rochester, N.Y. The format of the
race was somewhat different from
the previous one; each crew raced
a typical hcadracc of three miles
in the morning. In the afternoon
the crews wCrc paired up accord•
ing to their pas1 perfonnancc and
raced a I S00 meter sprint; lhis
time was 1hen multiplied by 1hrcc
and added to the mornings time.
This race was also much bigger,
25 men's eights and 21 women's
arrived for the race tha1 weekend.
Representing Colgate was one
women's eigh1, a women's four
and two men's eights.
The women's eight finished
sixlh overall and third amongst
colleges, as other rowing clubs
and organizations arc represented
at the race. The only other colleges to beat the Red Raidtts were
Harvard. known as Radcliffe in the
women's rowing world, and Roch·
ester Institute ofTcxhnology, who
had the "home course advanrage."
The women's four placed sixth
after the first hcadracc. In the afternoon, they were paired up with
Syracuse, who had posted a better
previous lime. The Red Raiders
were able to beat out the
Orangcwomcn and take fifth place
overall with teams such as Williams, Cornell, and St. Lawrence
finishing above them.
The two men's eights also had
very successful races. The heavyweight boat finished fourteenth
ov,rall and fourth in the college
division. Coming out ofthe mom•

goals. An errant foul commit·
tcd by firs1-ycar sophomore defender Marc Hubbard awarded
Adelphi a direct kick 11 the top

seems 10 improve upon a differ·

..We still have a bit more to improve on,'' Tee said...The main
thing thal we need to work on is
consistency. We have to play well
game in and game out..
One problem that's been nagging Colgate throughout the season are penalties. The Red Raiders lead 1hc Patriot League in the
number or penalties (60) and pena lly yards (483). Colgate has off'se1 this scacistic with an average
of over 400 offensive yards a
game, tops in the league.
This weekend Colgate returns
home 10 host St Mary's (Ca.). Last
season, the Red Raiders traveled
west and beat the Gaels 43-13.
Last weekend, St. Mary's crushed
Menlo College, 71-34.
"SI. Mary's runs an offense very
similar to the wishbone,'' Tcc said.
'"They have a very good running
game. We• II have 10 be ready for
them."
Dcrensivcly, irCo1ga1c plays as
it did agains1 Cornell. it will be
very difficult for St. Mary's 10 pu1
points on lhc board. This is especially the case because St Mary's
is a team that is highly dependent
on the running game.
"The first thing, u a defender,
is 1h11 even before the ball is
snapped you have 10 think about
all the possible scenarios," Tee
said. "Then you have to set to lhc
ball, and you try and make a play.
Some people say 1ha1 lhc crazy
defenders arc the best. That's not
uuc. The smart crazy ones arc 1hc
best."
This weekend's gaffle is
Colgate's last non-conference
game. lls lul four arc all Patrioc
League showdowns. And with just
five games left, each win thrusts
Colgate one step clcllror the season, lhc Patrioc League
Champion&hip.
"Right now I believe thol we'll
