The psychology lecturebegan with Dr. Paul Harrisof the Rollins PsychologyDepartment introducingeach of the speakers and giv-ing a brief overview intotheir backgrounds.

Dr. Barbara Fritzsche isthe Director of the PhD Pro-

gram in Industrial and Orga-nizational Psychology at theUniversity of Central Floridaand a 2005 winner of UCF'sScholarship of Teaching andLearning award. And ac-cording to Dr. Sachau, "UCFhas one of the best programsin the country."

Dr. Dan Sachau is the Di-rector of the Graduate Pro-gram in Industrial and Orga-nizational Psychology atMinnesota State Universityin Mankato. The school wasrecently ranked as the topIndustrial and Organization-al Psychology masters pro-gram in an article publishedby the Society for Industrialand Organizational Psychol-ogy.

Dr. Paul Harris held thepanel discussion by askingeach of the speakers various

questions that would helpstudents get a better idea ofexactly what it takes to getinto a graduate programsuch as these. The speakersstarted with a brief overviewof each of their programs.

Dr. Fritzsche stated,"Our PhD program at UCF isrelatively new, it started in2000." Each year a total of 36students are enrolled in the

program. About forty per-cent of the students are fromdiverse backgrounds, "Wemay be the most diverse In-dustrial and Organizationalprogram."

The goal of the UCF pro-gram "is to generate and in-tegrate scientific and profes-sional knowledge, attitudes

and skills so as to further astudent in psychological sci-ence." The program helpstrain students and educatesthem about psychology andwhatever they do not learnin class they are expected todo their own independentresearch.

Dr. Sachau then statedthat his program in Min-nesota "emphasizes prac-tice." Their program offerscourses that focus on practic-ing for consulting in the real-world, thus students work ingroups to become very so-cial. "We have 10 students ayear who take all their class-es together." By having thesmall group of students itmakes it easier for more one-on-one teaching and easiersocial interaction.

Dr. Sachau summarizedhis program with a list offive things. First of all theprogram consist of intenseshort term projects in whichstudents work together toproblem solve. Studentsthen learn to serve as projectmanagers for consulting.The work submitted in theprogram is written up like areport would be written upfor a manager, in a two orthree page bulleted format.The program also consists ofa social component whichintegrates students into anetwork and forces them tomake friends easier.

“My spring break vacation was one of the best trips ever.I felt so important flying on a private jet cross-country. I flewto California where I finally saw Disneyland and I got to playin the snow in Denver, which was thrilling for a girl like mewho has lived in Florida all her life. My stop in Las Vegaswas a blast. There truly is no place like Las Vegas.”

“Somehow, instead of spending my spring break work-ing and lying on a beach as usual, I ended up in New Or-leans in a hard hat, steel toed boots, mask, goggles, and thickgloves--not exactly Mardi Gras attire. But, I cannot imagine abetter way to have spent my spring break than working withHabitat and Rollins Relief to help restore part of the city. I’mso proud of the work our team did this week!“

Dr. Harris then asked animportant question everystudent is wondering, "Whatare you looking for?" Dr.Fritzsche started off by say-ing, "We looked at the entirefolder, courses, grades, rec-ommendations, GRE's, priorresearch and applicant inter-est compatibility with thoseof out faculty." A GRE scoreof 1200 and GPA of 3.6would give a student a goodchance of being acceptedinto the UCF program, butonly 14 are admitted eachyear.

The Minnesota Stateprogram only takes ten stu-dents. "It helps if a studenthas been introduced to In-dustrial and OrganizationalPsychology," said Dr.Sachau. "We also look at in-volvement, student whohave been socially active intheir schools and participat-ed in clubs, student govern-ment and even honor soci-eties.

Students who graduatefrom these programs with aPhD have the opportunity toget a consulting job right outof school and make goodmoney. "Students can takeinternships all around thecountry at consulting firms,"said Dr. Fritzsche. "Studentscan go into managementconsulting firms or market-ing with a PhD and start outmaking $100,000 right out ofschool.

The opportunities areout there.

Dr. Sachau will be re-turning to the Rollins cam-pus on Tuesday, March 15 tospeak to Rollins studentsabout the affects of material-ism on modern society.

How Did You Spend Break?As Spring Break began,

Rollins students split off inall different directions. Fewcould not decide where toget their spring break tanseither in the Bahamas or TheKeys, whereas others werestuck at home with theirfamilies working on thehomework they had beenputting off for months.

Amongst Rollins stu-dents, traveling seemed to beone of the most popularspring break activities. Thegreat thing about Rollins isthat it is located in Florida,one of the top spring breakdestinations for college stu-dents, so Rollins studentsdid not have to travel that farto soak up the SunshineState’s rays.

Beaches run for milesalong the coast of Florida inplaces like Fort Lauderdale,Daytona, Panama City andMiami Beach. It is in theseplaces college students gotthe opportunity to try activi-ties like windsurfing todeep-sea fishing. And it is inFlorida students couldchoose from the waves of theAtlantic Ocean or the Gulf of

Mexico. For those students who

really needed to get out ofFlorida, several possibilitiesawaited them. Cruises was awell-liked travel idea forRollins students. Being ableto get a tan while sailing todifferent locations did notseem like such a bad idea.

Students who cruised fortheir spring break were ableto explore the shores ofCaribbean Islands, check outthe colorful waters and reefs,eat native foods and evenswim with dolphins orstingrays all in a time span ofa week.

Hitting the Caribbean Is-lands was not the only out ofcountry experience the stu-dents of Rollins enjoyed.Traveling overseas to Europewas also a popular destina-tion. Students packed theirpassports and boarded aplane to embark on a vaca-tion filled with history, ex-citement and culture.

And then there werethose students who were notwilling to travel as far as Eu-rope, but still needed to getaway. Their spring breaktook them to California,Denver or even Las Vegas,each unique in its own way

and each with plenty to dofor spring breakers.

Traveling to the com-plete opposite side of thecountry to spend time in thewarm tropical weather andvisit Disneyland may seem abit silly for someone wholives in Florida, but Califor-nia is quite different thanFlorida. In fact, if you lookcarefully a movie star maywalk past you as you areshopping on Rodeo Drive oryou may notice some O.C.stars while you soak up therays on Newport Beach.

Completely oppositefrom all the tropical loca-tions was Denver where thehigh temperature was 28 de-grees and snow was fallingfrom the sky. This was the lo-cation for those studentsready to ski the slopes. Den-ver during this time of theyear is definitely a place tosit by the fireplace and roastmarshmallows at night.

Then there is Las Vegas,party capital of the world.The Strip is one of the mostspectacular places in theworld. In fact, the Las VegasStrip features a miniatureNew York, Paris and Veniceall within a mile of each

other. Spring breakers wereable to enjoy the amazingshopping all down the stripand in the enormous hotels.If you think you have seen abig hotel, just go to LasVegas and whatever seemedbig before will soon becomesmall.

Impersonators, celebri-ties and comedians all haveshows in Las Vegas to enter-tain spring breakers andafter a show it is time to eat.The city of Las Vegas fea-tures every variety of food aperson could think of pre-pared by every famous chefa person could name. Every-where a person walks is aplace to gamble. The thrill ofwinning and losing makesthe casinos the most excitingstop in the city.

Although there are thou-sands of places to travel tofor spring break, some stu-dents used this break for atime to finally just relax.When school is in session itis hard to get one moment tothink let alone rest so whenstudents have a week offthey take advantage ofcatching up on sleep, home-work and family.

On Wednesday, March 1, students from Winter Park High School sponsored a Mayoral Candidate Forum at City Hall on Park Avenue. Here, the incumbent of one-term, Mayor Marchman, Republican, and his challenging opponent, Mr. Strong, Democrat, responded to questions posed by the students on behalf of various issues ofhigh-significance to Winter Park. Predominantly, both candidates stressed the importance of gaining greater citizen input into fashioning the future vision for WinterPark, particularly as the city is currently undergoing a major shift in community re-development initiatives. "I think this election basically boils down to…who is in

charge of Winter Park," Strong explained in an impassioned opening statement, highlighting the necessity of citizens to re-redirect the cities vision from its current devel-opment scheme. As a former voter for Marchman, Strong now believes the mayor has strayed from his prior campaign initiatives to improve the standard of living for allcitizens in Winter Park; instead, enabling a few wealthy, commercial developers to command the direction of the cities future."I have the experience and temperament toprovide the leadership," Mayor Marchman countered Strong's objections to a crowd where many fear the new impact of these changes, "we all believe in and love this

city."An attentive audience then spent the next hour listening to the stance of each candidate on prevalent issues.

Topic:Stresses nothing in regards to recent

development approvals is illegal in nature. He alsohopes that the community will become more in-

volved in defining the future vision for Winter Park.Thinks the revenue from increased commercial taxes

are necessary for funding infrastructure improve-ments.

Avid supporter of the high school and its events,and wishes for the city to continue the record of a

close relationship with the school.

Also wants a theater on Park Avenue in addition tomore events similar to the annual high-school picnic.He asks for students input on what they would like

to see downtown.

Finding affordable housing for young people tomove back into the area.

Thinks expert opinions are necessary, but deniesStrong's claim that the city commission does not

have time to understand the issues.

Part of the communities charm is its independence,meaning Winter Park is an entirely self-sufficient

city with its own water system, fire department, etc.Therefore, the new developments are part of the

charm, as their revenue helps maintain the cities au-tonomy.

The decision to reform campaign contributionsshould be made in a public open forum; however, hebelieves that there should be no limits to the level of

campaign expenditure at the city level. Currently,there is a contribution limitation of $500 support per

person/entity.

Believes the recent rise in developments result fromshady dealings surrounding the approvals, and that themayor has changed the vision of Winter Park in favor of

several profit-motivated individuals.

Schools are over-capacity, and the intense growth withnew urbanization and condominiums will continue this

trend. Unfortunately, the city may lack resources to buildadequate schools for them if they continue extraneous

spending.

Market forces have created very high rents to make it dif-ferent to make it difficult to appeal to high school stu-dents; however, he wants to encourage youths to come

back downtown by offering youth discounts, a Park Av-enue movie theater or activities held during off-peak

times.

Has three focus areas: 1) Consider the rising issue of com-muter rail. He disagrees that this is in the area's best inter-est, but will leave this option up to residents. 2) Tighten-

ing the budget, because he feels the current economicplan focuses far too much on inappropriate, luxury

spending. 3) Making business dealings, specifically proj-ect approvals, less subject to criticism.

Says he has the "time and luxury" to spend on city issues;therefore, he does not have to rely on expert opinion un-like Mayor Marchant and the city commission who have

other jobs.

Believes the new developments detract from the uniquecharm of the city, and he plans to find initiatives to main-

tain this distinctiveness for future generations.

Says Marchant has forgot his supporters and, instead,votes on approvals to appease those developers who sup-port him financially. He has no objections, though, to peo-ple contributing to their candidate of choice; therefore, he

also disagrees with limiting campaign contributions.

Rollins Students Meet Mr. BeldingIf you happened to go

into the down under theWednesday before springbreak around 8 pm, you weremet with the familiar tunethat to this day you probablystill can see if you happen tocatch a re-run. You know theone-"When I wake up in themorning and the 'larm setsout a warning I don't thinkI'll ever make it on time…"Put on by ACE, Dennis Hask-ins, otherwise known as Mr.Belding, came to campus totalk about life as an actor onthe hit TV series and basic lifein general.

Born in Chattanooga,Tennessee, Dennis Haskinsfirst caught the acting budwhen his high school basket-ball coach and advisor puthim in acting classes. Al-though it took him ten yearsafter graduation to follow hislife long dream of becomingan actor, he finally achievedhis goal when he landed arole on "Good Morning, Ms.Bliss," which later became"Saved By the Bell." Theshow was cancelled and Ms.Bliss was sacked when theshow was moved to Saturdaymornings and lacked the rat-ings that it had gotten on itsprevious time slot. Auditionsbegan soon after for a new,improved version of theolder show, which focusedon the trials and problems of

being a teenager. However,in order to get the role of Mr.Belding, Dennis Haskins hadto be persistent, as the rolewas originally intended for afifty year old African-Ameri-can and he had to convinceproducers that he was theone meant for the role. Infact, Dennis Haskins foundout from wardrobe that hehad gotten the part whenthey let slip that none of Mr.Belding's suits were beingdiscarded, unlike the star ofthe show Hayley Mills.

"Saved By the Bell" wasfilmed at Stage 9 at the NBCstudios, which is where Car-son Daly's show is nowfilmed. However, it was latermoved to Studio 3, which iswhere Jay Leno currentlyscreens his shows. For threeyears the cast of Saved ByThe Bell filmed along side ofthe other hit 90's show,“Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

Dennis Haskins two fa-vorite episodes filmed dur-ing the Saved By the Bell runwere the original cast promand when his brother Rodcame to take the kids on arafting trip and Mr. Beldingends up taking them whenhis brother bails out. His leastfavorite episode to film oc-curred during the New Classyears, when they had to do ascene at The Max where theywere filmed in a giant milk-shake can. However, themilkshake was really dyedwater mixed in with mashed

potatoes that the crew mem-bers threw at them. Althoughhe liked filming with all thecasts, there was no doubt thatMr. Belding liked filmingmost with the original cast.

Since ending his role asMr. Belding on “Saved By theBell,” Dennis Haskins hasbeen busy. He went to CapeTown, South Africa to film amovie with Coolio, shotmovie scenes in Romania(“Saved By the Bell” hap-pened to be the first Ameri-

can show aired in the coun-try), he was able to go to theOval Office accompanied bynone other than Dustin Dia-mond, otherwise known asScreech, and has visitedtroops in Kosovo, Bosnia andAfghanistan. As he finishedwith the rounds of questionsasked by the host, DennisHaskins offered his own bitsof wisdom to the crowd, en-couraging Rollins own to fol-low their dreams, whateverthey are and wherever they

may take you. He concludedthe interview encouragingthe students to do one act ofkindness over the next fewweeks, no matter how big orhow little.

At the end of Haskins’sspeech, he answered ques-tions from the audience andhosted a trivia session forstudents to win prizes. Fol-lowing this, Dennis Haskinssigned autographs for theRollins students who attend-ed, who was eager to meet

This past Saturday, sev-eral leadership students at-tended a simulation calledFordCorp sponsored by theCenter for Leadership Devel-opment. The simulation isbased on the experiences oftwo Fortune 500 companiesand immerses participants ina day of C-Level (top execu-tive level) professional deci-sions. It is often used withcorporate executives, but ishelpful for anyone exercis-ing or trying to improveleadership skills.

Prior to arriving atthe FoodCorp simulation, allparticipants received a pack-

et of information detailingthe background of the com-pany. Inside was the annualreport and various otherdocuments with companyinformation. Students weresupposed to read throughthis packet so that they couldhit the ground running firstthing Saturday morning.

Most people arrivedaround 8:45 AM to take theirpick of a nicely appointedcontinental breakfast.Amidst much curiosity andsome anxiety, the simulationstarted promptly at 9:00 AM.

To start the day, thefacilitator told the groupthey had ten minutes to fi-nalize each person's positionin the company. Options

ranged from Chief Operat-ing Officer to Vice-Presidentof Frozen Foods to NewYork City consultants, andeveryone jumped in with acomment about which rolethey wanted to play. Roleswere decided and everyonewent to their desks to jumpin to the days tasks.

At each person'sdesk was a pile of papersthat included recently sentmemos, background infor-mation, and inbox memosfrom others in the organiza-tion. Over the next threehours, participants read, pri-oritized, and responded tothe issues in the memos byinteracting with other Food-Corp participants. Some-

times this involved talking toa colleague on equal footing,but sometimes it involvedworking with the Chief Op-erating Officer. At noon, thegroup was supposed to havedetermined key problems atFoodCorp and be ready tooffer a new direction for thecompany as it moved for-ward.

The second half ofthe day was spent in debrief.Participants found outwhich companies the simu-lation was based on, somegeneral information abouthow things turned out forthem, and a quick assess-ment of how this group ad-dressed issues and interact-ed compared with others

who had participated in thesimulation.

The day wrapped upwhen the facilitator and Cen-ter for Leadership Develop-ment Director Dr. SusanBach both provided feed-back for students about theirbehaviors within the boundsof the simulation, and whenstudents provided feedbackto one another.

The simulation was verysuccessful and most partici-pants seemed to enjoyspending their Saturday af-ternoon honing leadershipskills. Not only were theylearning something, butthose who attended knowthere really is such a thing asa free lunch.

There's an old sayingthat goes "the more the mer-rier" and last Thursdayevening was one of those oc-casions where the saying re-ally applied. The MBA Asso-ciation held its final socialevent of the year at Old Ger-many Restaurant on 436,and many first and secondyear EAMBAs came out for anight of fun, fellowship,food, and drink.

The festivities got off to aslow start with only a hand-ful of people arriving by thestart time of 6:30pm, but thepace picked up quickly. Be-fore the night was over,more than fifty studentspassed through the doorsand began what would be,for some of them, a longnight.

Most people started theirnight off with a drink fromthe bar. At Old Germany,you can choose from 15 draftand over 140 bottled beersthat come from all over theworld. Many of the drinksof choice seemed to comefrom Germany and includedbrands like Warsteiner,Beck's, and Erdinger, withyours truly trying a niceWarsteiner variety in a cool18 ounce bottle.

About an hour into theevening most people alsomade use of the free foodprovided by the MBA Asso-ciation. There was a buffet-style setup where everyonecould help themselves to avariety of food selections in-

cluding sausage and onions,potato pancakes, apple-sauce, bread, salad, and ahost of other tasty items.There was even dessert andadditional dishes brought tothe event by some of the at-tendees.

After eating, the nexthour or two saw some peo-ple talking in groups andother people flitting aroundfrom person to person. OldGermany has a pool table setup in its bar area, so severalpeople also played games ofpool.

Around 9pm, the excite-ment started to die downand many people closed outtheir tabs, which, if you

went, you were probablyone of the many who nowhave a greater inclination topay cash for every drink.Let's just say you needed toput another beer on your tabwhile waiting for it to come.

Overall, however, thefood and drinks were greatand the large group of peo-ple made the evening a lot offun. Old Germany is a greatplace to have an event, espe-cially if you are looking forsomething a little different--and if you would like tochoose from over 150 beers,there might not be a betteroption around!

Upon hearing Beethoven’sMoonlight Sonata for the first timewhen he was about 18 years old,Felipe Camacho’s transforma-tion began. “I started crying. Itwas the most beautiful piece ofmusic I ever heard,” said Cama-cho, a senior music major at theHolt School. “From then on I de-cided I must do music.” Thiscommitment meant a radicalchange in his life. As a streetwiseteen in North Philadelphia, hehad—until then— little interestin education or music. “I was onthe wrong track,” he says.

There was no piano athome, so Camacho found a localhigh school music departmentwhere he could play the piano.“I didn’t know what I was doingexactly, but I kept playing.” Al-though he had little knowledgeof the creative process, he also at-tempted to write music. Eventu-ally he began piano lessons, en-tered community college andmade his way to Rollins after ayear at the University of SouthFlorida. “Music literallychanged my life,” he says.

With a 3.6 grade-point aver-age at Rollins, he hopes to grad-uate magna cum laude in May andthen apply to graduate school inmusic or pharmacy, or both. Ca-macho, 24, is one of about 60music majors at the Rollins Col-lege Hamilton Holt School. Stu-dents must audition to be ac-cepted to the program and onceaccepted, they complete a rigor-ous core of requirements inmusic history, theory, and musicand technology. Additionalcourses in performance are re-

quired along with four high-level electives in composition,history, conducting, or peda-gogy. Camacho plays the pianoand oboe in the Rollins orches-tra, and he is learning to play theflute and the violin. He has com-pleted 30 musical compositions,including symphonies, pianoconcertos, vocal works, andpiano sonatas. The longest workis about 46 pages. At a Novem-ber student recital, musiciansperformed one of his composi-tions for piano, oboe, flute, bas-soon, clarinet, and cello. It takeshim about a week to finish apiece.

How he composes is a mys-tery. “I honestly don’t know

how I crank this music out,” saysCamacho. “ Maybe it’s because Ilove Rollins and I have greatteachers.” Forty percent of hisideas emerge through improvis-ing. Composing often requiressummoning the appropriateemotions, he says. “If I want towrite a sad work, I contemplate

sadness. If it makes me want tocry, I know its good.” Fortunate-ly there are computer softwareprograms that do musical nota-tion, which can be very tedious,he says. He is now working on apiano concerto.“Inspiration is amystery, “ says Camacho’s com-position teacher, Daniel Crozier,assistant professor of theory andcomposition. “It can’t be taught.”Many of the technical aspects ofcomposition, however, such asthe conventions of notation, orstructure, can be taught, he says.

Percussionist Doug Moser,22, also a senior music major, be-gins composing by “deciding ona format. I ask myself if I want tocreate a piece for solo instru-

ment, a duet, or an ensemble ofvarying instruments. Then I de-cide on the mood of the piece,the form, and the audience that Ihave in mind for a specific work.From there, it depends upon myown day-to-day mood and ex-periences as well as the time con-straints I may have.” Moser’s

“modern instrumental” compo-sitions for percussion, trombone,and guitar emerge from his im-provising.

“I get very inspired by othermusic that I may be listening to,and some elements of that musicmay end up in my own compo-sitions. When I think I might beclose to finishing, I may get sug-gestions from professors andfriends that can help.” In addi-tion to Crozier, Moser studieswith Beth Gottlieb, percussionartist in residence at Rollins.Moser began playing the trom-bone in the sixth grade, and tookup composing about two yearsago, after completing a numberof arrangements. He plans to at-tend graduate school this year,and eventually hopes to teachpercussion in a college setting,play with a professional orches-tra, and continue to compose.

He believes that creatingnew music is critical to the ad-vancement of the art. “AlthoughI am perfectly happy with com-posing just for myself, friends,and colleagues, I hope that mymusic will eventually be playedand bought by others.” CoreySmith, 21, also a senior musicmajor at the Holt School, is in-spired by “funny things thatpeople do. Some of my music isvery weird,” he says. “I don’tknow where it comes from.”Smith created his first musicalcomposition for piano at age14—a short piece for orchestra ti-tled I have no idea what to call this,but trust me it’s inspiring.

Since then, he has com-posed 15 works for piano, or-chestra, and chamber ensem-bles. His arrangement of We

Three Kings has been played atthe Bach Festival Christmas con-cert. In addition to studyingcomposition with Crozier, Smithstudied piano with Gary Wolf,and conducting with John Sin-clair, chair of the music depart-ment. Smith is now working onhis first piano concerto. Hehopes to attend graduate schoolin a year and eventually conductchurch choirs and become acomposer. “Most composersdon’t live from their work,” hesays. “You have to be reallygood and really lucky. But com-posing is definitely in my fu-ture.” Lisa VanAlstine, 21, also aHolt senior, gathers inspirationfor composing by playing“freestyle” or improvising onthe piano. At the fall studentrecital she played a dramaticnocturne inspired by a dreamdepicting a narrative from theBook of Revelations.

VanAlstine began piano atthe age of 6, and first tried com-posing in high school. Amongthe top 10 finalists in the MissFlorida Pageant last July, sheplayed a Grieg piano concertofor the talent competition. Al-though composing is not astrong interest, she hopes to ob-tain a doctorate in music educa-tion that will allow her versatili-ty in her career. VanAlstine alsostudied piano with Gary Wolf,music history with Susan Lack-man, and Chuck Archard, andconducting with John Sinclair.She believes she received a well-rounded education that provid-ed an excellent foundation forthe next stage of her educationand her career—graduateschool.

HOLT NEWS 7

Dear Marian,I am looking for a new

job and am not sure whatto do about references.Should I just list formeremployers? What kind ofinformation can my cur-rent employer give aprospective employer?— Holt Senior ‘06

Dear Holt Senior,Because of increasing

litigation, many employersare cautious about provid-ing reference informationand have developed strictpolicies that limit theamount of information thatcan be provided.

Typically, policies willonly allow the HR repre-sentative to share yourtitle, dates of employmentand salary. Because of howlimited this information is,it is in your best interest toprepare additional refer-ences.

First, for purposes of anemployment application,you will need to have thephone number and contactname for someone in yourcompany’s HR department.From this contact, the po-tential employer will verifythe “basics” of your em-ployment.

Next, you will need alist of other professionalreferences. These should beindividuals who have seenyou “in action” and mightbe willing to speak to a po-tential employer on yourbehalf.

HERE ARE A FEW SUGGES-TIONS ON HOW TO IDENTIFYAND PREPARE INDIVIDUALSFOR YOUR PROFESSIONALREFERENCE LIST:

1. THINK BACK TO SOMEOF YOUR KEY ACCOMPLISH-MENTS. These accomplish-ments can be throughschool, work or profession-al associations. Who didyou work with? These in-dividuals might includepeers at work, fellow Holtstudents, other managers,professors, vendors or evencustomers. Ask your-self, would these individu-als be able to talk aboutyour specific skills and ac-complishments?

2. DO NOT ASSUME!Take the time to contacteach of these individuals

and ask them if they wouldbe willing to provide a ref-erence for you. When con-tacting them, I would sug-gest that you:

Tell them about thetypes of positions that youare seeking and let themknow why they came tomind.

If they agree to be onyour reference list, providethem with a copy of yourresume and a few possibleaction items to discuss withthe potential employer.

Stay in contact withyour references. Make sureyou keep them informed asyou continue with yoursearch. This will also allowyou to make sure you havethe most up-to-date contactinformation for them.

Send thank you lettersto your references whenyou know they have pro-vided a reference on yourbehalf.

3. DO NOT OVERUSEYOUR REFERENCES. Ideally, alist of 5-7 references willallow you to rotate thenames so you do not “burnanyone out.”

When submitting a ref-erence list, be strategic andtake the time to evaluatewhich reference will beable to provide theprospective employer withthe most relevant informa-tion.

4. DO NOT RELY ON LET-TERS OF RECOMMENDATION.While it is not a bad idea tohave letters from formeremployers, this will neverreplace the need for an ac-tual contact who is willingto speak to a potential em-ployer.

Use the letters as a“value added” bonus. Theyshould not replace an actu-al reference.

Would you like to see asample reference listing?I‘d be happy to share onevia email to any studentwho requests one.

Do you have a question forMarian? E-mail her [email protected] guarantees that allquestions will be respond-ed to individually or in thiscolumn.

The pop tab program isone of many significantfundraising activities thatallow Ronald McDonaldHouse of Orlando to contin-ue its mission of being “ahome-away-from-home forfamilies of seriously ill chil-dren who are receiving treat-ment at local hospitals.”

Pop tabs mean a lot forthe House. Like the Housedefies them, “They seem in-significant, however, whenwe combine the efforts of in-dividuals, civic groups,churches, schools, and busi-nesses they really add up.” And they have figure to sup-port this claim. “As a matterof fact since December 1996the Ronald McDonaldHouse of Orlando has col-lected over 52 tons of popstabs. That’s right, 52 tons.That equals more than 133million pop tabs. That’s awe-some!”

Despite the fact that thehouse needs 1,280 tabs,which equal to 1 pound, tomake 45 cents, tabs’ collec-tion generates over $300,000since the invention of the‘ring pull can’ in 1962. Inorder to make $450.00 in tabssales, the Ronald McDonaldHouse must collect 1,000pounds of tabs or 1,280,000tabs. This is why everyone’ssupport and cooperation arevital in helping the houseachieving its goal of provid-ing a safe and affordableplace to families of sick chil-dren in many hospitals incentral Florida.

As a temporary housingfacility for families of criti-cally ill children who are re-ceiving medical treatment inOrlando area hospitals,Ronald McDonald Housecharges those families only$15 per night while they arewaiting for their children tocome out of the hospital. It isabsolutely clear that $15 anight could not possiblykeep the house open because

its operational expenses out-weigh this income, but thepop tab program along withmany other fundraising ac-tivities provide the housewith the well needed fundsto keep its doors open.

“This is where the poptab program and otherfundraising programs kickin. When we have collectedall the pop tabs that we canhold we take them to a localrecycler who cut us a checkfor the proceeds. Those pro-ceeds, for example, help usto pay our electricity bill.”

Administrators of thehouse explain why “the poptab program is a win-win sit-uation” as follows:

First, the families of theRonald McDonald Housebenefit from the donations inthat they are provided aclean, safe environmentclose to the hospital as theyawait the homecoming oftheir sick child. Second, ithelps us to keep the “lightson” so to speak. And finally,it helps to keep our environ-ment clean.

It is worth noting thatthe two Ronald McDonaldHouses in Orlando are locat-ed on the campuses of Flori-da Hospital onPrinceton/Winter Park andArnold Palmer Hospital onOrange Avenue/downtown.

The Ronald McDonaldHouse of Orlando urgeseveryone to “consider how[they] and [their] organiza-tion can keep our environ-ment clean and also help thefamilies of sick children.”

You can do that by just

doing the followings:Just pop off those tabs

from your soda cans, veg-etable and soup cans, petfood cans, special diet food,etc. Save them in any con-tainer.

Bring them to the RonaldMcDonald House at 2201Alden Road; house at 1630Kuhl Avenue in Orlando.

Tabs are then weighedfor recycling and the moniesraised go to help with ourcosts to operate our RonaldMcDonald House.

You may also visit theRonald McDonald House ofOrlando website atwww.rmhorlando.com tolearn more about the housemission and goal, itsfundraising activities andvolunteering opportunities,and most importantly tomake a donation to helpthem continue to providegreat services to those seri-ously ill children families.

In the meantime, pleasesave your can tabs and dropthem off at any locationwhere there is a little RonaldMcDonald House box or youcan bring them to schoolwith you and drop them offat the cafeteria or at the othertwo cafes on campus.

You can also give themto a Holt Student Govern-ment Association senator orrepresentative. Your contri-bution can make a huge dif-ference no matter how smallit may appear to you. Letskeep the “lights on” at ourtwo local Ronald McDonaldHouses by supporting thepop tabs program.

Chinese Logic 5 Lessons To Learn From Hong Kong

1. Length of time is relative. Every professor around hereadding “just a short note” will continue to lecture for at

least another hour and a half long.

2. Presentations need not be stiff. I have never laughed sohard during student presentations, and I am not only talk-ing about obvious glitches in language like statements re-

volving around the Christian infatuation with 'bile' (Bible).Instead, there is an attitude of both the students and the

teachers that, “hey, I am not out in the working world yet,so why not forget about that suit, make a power-point

quite devoid of important information, and crack a fewjokes, at least until the classroom pays attention.” Not a

bad practice, really, but far different from what I have beentaught at Rollins. Naturally, the presentations at Rollins aremuch more professional, but what good is that if the entireclassroom is asleep? What fun is it if there is no direct re-

sponse amounting to: "No, I disagree."?

3. The top of the escalator is a splendid space to stop andadmire the view, clean underneath your fingernails or en-gage in a minute of daydreaming. No, honestly, even after

over two months in Hong Kong, I have yet to grasp thislogic. There are literally hundreds of people squeezing

onto the escalators. You would think they were handingout money for free given the amount of enthusiasm to geton. I suppose after all the pushing and shoving, the peoplerealize “Ah, yes, I have done my work for the day-,” thus

freezing up and standing still after being pushed off at thetop. I really would not care about their temporary mentalholiday from their bodies, were it not for the fact that theyrefuse to step aside before they leave. Attempting to get offbehind such a person, without shoving aside the old manwith the cane right next to you or without feeling some-

ones elbows in your back a second later, is truly close to anOlympic discipline. I have yet to master it.

4. Shrimp, or rather, any seafood, is like air. There is ab-solutely no reason to mention it in the ingredients of any

dish! Naturally, it will be in your pork dumplings. Ofcourse, it will be part of your vegetable rice. Without ques-

tion will it be hidden away at the bottom of your noodlesoup. Fish is just handled as a spice here...nothing worthmentioning, and nothing you can request to be left out

without causing major complications. Alas, I do not likeseafood, so I am becoming an expert at seperating any-

thing fishy out of my meals with my chopsticks, hiding itin my bowl while giving a gleaming smile, so as not to of-

fend.

5. There is no reason not to have a sale. This is really one ofthe most curious facts about Hong Kong. It is, by far, oneof the most materialistic places I have ever seen. I do not

know whether the shops just react to this, or whether theyblow wind into that flame, but there are not as many salesanywhere else in the world. Any sale, really, is continued,

with a big “FURTHER SALE” sign in the window, until thenext official holiday pops up. When I first arrived, in earlyJanuary, all the Christmas decorations were still up. I amnot talking a few meager lights, but rather, for example,

one of the world's largest christmas trees, literally, smackin the middle of a shopping arcade. Nevermind that the

Chinese as a whole do not believe in Christianity, or ratherthat it is not a given tradition...that does not mean theycannot shop 'til they drop, right? This is followed by a

month-long Chinese New Year's Sale, which in turn is re-placed by American Valentine's day sale, and then, abouttwo days later, the Chinese version of this, also called theLantern Festival. There is still Easter, the Buddha’s Birth-day, the Rugby Sevens, the Hong Kong International Film

Festival, and one billion other reasons for sales!

Claiming Collegiate Seniority

Most students who at-tend Rollins probably knowthat it is the "oldest institu-tion of higher education"within the state of Florida.But many probably do not,however, know how Rollinsearned such a brag-worthyachievement. The historicalbeginnings of Rollins collegecan be traced back all theway to a woman namedLucy Cross, who convincedleaders of the Congregation-al Church to seek out a loca-tion to establish a collegewithin the state of Florida.

Winter Park was selectedto host the college after itplaced a $125,000 pledge, in-cluding a pledge from aChicago businessman whooffered $50,000.

Rollins College was offi-cially opened in March 1886,where the first two Bachelorof Arts degrees were wardedto Clara Louise Guild andIda May Misseldine. Howev-er, Rollins is not the onlycenter of higher learning that

boasts its long standing com-mitment to education; infact, the adjective is the keyto the puzzle. The term "rec-ognized" is understood tomean that it is a real char-tered college with a fresh-man class that would even-tually graduate with aca-demic degrees, as opposedto other institutions that re-sembled high schools. Stet-son University prides itselfas "Florida's first private uni-versity," founded in 1883 bya New York Philanthropistby the name of Henry A. De-land. Because Rollins is aprivate college, and not auniversity, means that bothdescriptions are correct.

However, it is not justthe private institutions thatare claiming historical roots.University of Florida inGainesville asserts that it isthe "state's oldest, largestand most comprehensiveuniversity," but Florida Statein Tallahassee claims it pre-dates UF on paper by a fewyears. Florida State Universi-ty claims that it first began in1951, although the first class-room was not opened until1855, with students takinghigh school courses.

Perhaps you wonder theorigin of some campusnames? Knowles Hall was

named after Francis B.Knowles, who made his for-tune as a glove manufactur-er in New York. When hemoved to Florida in 1885, hebecame a key figure in theconstruction of Rollins Col-lege, where he personally fi-nanced the building ofKnowles Hall in 1886. McK-ean was named after HughF. McKean, who was presi-dent from 1951-1969, estab-lished the graduate pro-grams in education andbusiness, and the HamiltonHolt School. Hamilton Holt,president from 1925-1949,focused on the close teacher-student contact in order toencourage higher learningamong both students andfaculty. During his time, no-table figures such as NobelPeace Prize winner Jane Ad-dams, author Majorie Kin-nan Rawlings and JusticeWilliam O. Douglas excelledunder his program of closeteacher-student relations.

So when you hear multi-ple colleges stake theirclaims as the oldest college,university or institution inthe state of Florida, do not beconfused. It is merely thetechnical terms that distin-guish them from one anoth-er, making them all, in oneword or the next, the oldest.

Which highereducational insti-tution in Florida isthe oldest?


10 &Life TTHE SANDSPUR· MAR. 17, 2006

"I've been in St. Bernardall my life," reflected Mr. Tre-buca "Buddy" Lamia, 88,standing in line at a soupkitchen in Rowley Elemen-tary School, New Orleanslast Monday, "and I neverpictured the houses couldlook like this…People justcan't picture this at all unlessthey're here."

For miles and miles, aneerie silence overhung bydismal smog lies over theformerly industrious region.Here, houses suffer thepainful state of decay frommonths of abandonment, thewindows of a Toys 'r' Usstore are boarded up, onlythe external structure of aSam's Club remains in place,a car is rammed into the sideof a roofless Mc Donald's,and a boat sits in the medianof a once-busy highway. Thecity is a dank wastelandwhere not even trees haveenough nourishment to pro-duce leaves in the spring.

Six months after Hurri-cane Katrina hit St. BernardParish (county), New Or-leans, on Aug. 29, the 15,000homes for the areas 70,000residents are still uninhabit-able. According to a safetyofficial for the parish, onlythree homes were undam-aged. Only snakes and ver-min now occupy the rest ofthe derelict, mold-infested,mud-ridden houses.

Even though the peopleof this parish have lost theirhomes, their jobs, and theirfamilies are split-up, livingwith other relatives aroundthe country, they have notgiven up hope. Amidst thisabandoned atmosphere,hang signs, such as one out-side the Port AdministrationOffice encouraged, "ThinkPositive, St. Bernard! We do."The more typical, religiousthemed spray-paintings in-cluded one on the side of abadly damaged church say-ing "God bless you, St.Bernard."

The greatest source ofhope right now, though, isthe ever-increasing numberof volunteers appearing tohelp the parish recover.

From March 6-11, a group of13 from the Rollins Reliefteam joined in with this ef-fort, along with the severalthousand other studentsfrom around the countrywho are also devoting theirspring break to this uniqueservice opportunity.

This first endeavor forthe team, organized by SteveMiller, '09, included 10 stu-dents, 2 staff members, and 1faculty member from the col-lege. With the aid of theSurdna Foundation Grantthrough the Office of Com-munity Engagement, they

were able to work withHabitat for Humanity. Theteam stayed with approxi-mately 1,500 other studentsfrom schools includingPennsylvania State Universi-ty, Bowling Green State Uni-versity, and Boston Univer-sity, at Camp Premier, a tentvillage cited by Habitat as aplace for the "strong andhearty," owing to both theendlessly long lines forshowers and cots for sleep-ing.

One group member,Harry Reyes, '06, explainedthat these conditions helpedhim to better connect withthe work he was doing be-cause, "I got to make 12 closefriends…and we actually gotto experience partly whatthese people from the parishare experiencing." Mr.Lamia, in fact, stayed atCamp Premier for 3 monthsbefore FEMA provided himwith a trailer, until he couldfind better living conditions.Now, while there is hot food,hot showers, and high secu-rity at the camp, an 88-year-old man, a former memberof the army air corps, canhardly be considered "strongand hearty" enough for thisenvironment. "I couldn'tsleep there with all thosepeople on top of each other,"he described, "…the part

that I didn't like was every-one slept together, men andwomen, all in one greatroom with one little area formothers and children."

The camp is in much bet-ter condition in the presentmonth, though, and when agroup of 10 students fromthe University of CentralFlorida will be arriving therethis week, there will be ap-proximately 2,400 studentsresiding in sex-segregatedsleeping quarters.

Not everyone from theparish is staying in trailers orat the camp though, as one

life-long resident of the area,Ms. Betty Perkins, 56, re-vealed of her and her hus-band's situations, "Youknow, I never thought Icould learn to live in a hotelfor this long…we've beenthere 6 months, but we'velearned to stand it." Afterdiscovering online that thegovernment is planning todemolish her house, the cou-ple requested a trailer fromFEMA, but Ms. Perkins di-vulged, "they said I'm notgetting a trailer this month,next month, or the monthafter." Luckily, since her hus-band, Chip, is a Navy veter-an, the military afforded himfully paid hotel accommoda-tions.

Mr. Lamia, on the otherhand, does not yet know thegovernment's intentions forhis house. "You look at itfrom the outside and you'dnever think anything waswrong, but it's just a shell,"he describes, "but I wish itwas demolished becausethen I'd have nothing toworry about. I just don'tknow if I should invest insomething now at my age."Not that he might haveenough to invest in thoughas, after paying homeown-er's insurance for almost 30years, he reports that "theypaid me nothing because

they said the flood is thething that did the damage. Idon't get a dime." For Mr.Anthony Romano, thehomeowner of one of thehouses the Rollins Reliefteam worked on, flood in-surance refused to pay,claiming the winds from the

hurricanewere thecause ofthe dam-age to hish o u s e ,and notthe flood-ing. For-tunately,

for him, homeowner's insur-ance paid him a sufficientamount, though much lessthan the value of his houseprior to the hurricane. Hisson, Tony Romano Jr., 34, ex-plained that they werehappy to get anythingthough, because the familydid not want to return to thearea. Mrs. Romano did notreturn to see the house at all,her husband told the team,as she had too many badmemories. "It don't feel likehome no more, put it thatway," Mr. Romano Jr. said,"…and it don't look likehome."

Outfitted in hard-hats,steel-toed boots, N-95 partic-ulate respirators, gloves, andsafety goggles, the teamspent over 2 days working to"gut" this house until it defi-nitely did not look like ahome at all anymore. Now,only the brick structure andwooden structure outliningthe rooms remain. Traces ofthe past of this family, muchlike every other family in theparish, were carted out inwheelbarrows amongst thedebris, fridges, sinks, car-pets, dry wall, insulation andmounds of wet mud.

In an increasingly mate-rialistic society, such devas-tation compels people toreprioritize what they value.

Even though these peoplehave lost their homes andtheir livelihoods, they stillhave each other.

Not everyone was luckythough. A giant "X" markingis spray-painted on everyhousing in the district,showing what date thehouse was searched, whosearched it, and how manywere found dead inside.Most houses had a 0 butsome had 2 or even 6marked on the "X."

In such an environment,it is difficult to think thatanyone can have any hoperemaining. Ms. Perkins,though, explains, "It's an in-spiration to us that you'rehere-you're here to help…"

Knowing this will hope-fully encourage more peo-ple to come to the aid of St.Bernard parish.

One Holt student on thetrip, Sara Bishop, came tohelp despite knowing shewould be celebrating herthirtieth birthday whileworking on a house. She hasno regrets of this experiencethough, saying, "I thinkevery-year, obviously, youget the opportunity to cele-brate your birthday, but fora milestone birthday, Iwanted to do somethingthat made a difference inthe lives of others." Likeeveryone on the team, Ms.Bishop hopes that she willnow be able to "…describeand inspire people to be-come emotionally connect-ed to the devastation that'shappened here, and then tofollow it up with purpose-ful action." A reporter fromthe Orlando Sentinel fol-lowed the team for a fewhours on one of the houses,and will have more infor-mation on the volunteer ef-forts from other colleges incentral Florida in the Sun-day, March 19 edition.

Spring Break provided arelaxing time for most, somemore then others. And thoseof us who weren't privilegedenough to hit the beaches ofthe South Pacific or cruiseour way to a healthy goldenglow took refuge in the rea-sonably inexpensive festivi-ties that sunny OrlandoFlorida has to offer, my per-sonal favorite being themovie theatre. While every-thing else in the listings ei-ther looked to dull, dark, orotherwise uninteresting, Ichose to get my Tommy LeeJones fix and see the previ-ously unheard of The ThreeBurials of Melquiades Estra-da.

The Three Burials is aquasi-Western flick writtenby Guillermo Arriaga whofirst gained mainstreamrecognition with his firstcross-over hit 21 Grams, ofwhich the feel of this filmhas some stark similarities.Directed by and starringTommy Lee Jones (Men InBlack, Space Cowboys, Vol-cano) as ranch-hand PetePerkins, The Three Burials is

a tale of friendship and com-mitment complicated by theprejudices and burdens oflife. The story is told in flash-back narrative and explainsthe unintentional murderand quick burial of the ille-gal immigrant ranch handMelquiades Estrada (JulioCedillo, The Alamo). Whenthe body is later found andreburied in the town ceme-tery, Estrada's incensed bestfriend Perkins sets out on amission to find and dealwith his killer. When Perkinsdiscovers that his friend wasshot - if only by accident - bythe brutal, bigoted borderpatrol cop Mike Norton(Barry Pepper, Saving Pri-vate Ryan, Enemy of theState) he kidnaps him, forceshim to disinter the body and

drags him along on a horse-back voyage to return Estra-da to his Mexican hometown. The two battle snakes,thirst, and the inevitableforced of natural decay onlyto find in the end that life isreally only what you makeof it and promises are eter-nal.

The Three Burials ofMelquiades Estrada is abeautifully filmed moviethat captures the breathtak-ing beauty of the south Texasand Mexican highlands. Ar-riaga and Jones bring thisstriking backdrop to lifewith an incredible narrativemade possible by a greatsupporting cast of charactersincluding singer DwightYoakam (Wedding Crashers,Hollywood Homicide) as theconniving small-town Lieu-tenant Belmont, JanuaryJones (Anger Management,Taboo) as Mike's dejectedand lonely wife Lou AnnNorton, Melissa Leo (Run-away, 21 Grams) as thetown's sexual muse andpart-time waitress Rachel,and a brief but poignantcameo from The Band'sLevon Helm as an old, blindcowboy.

In no way is The ThreeBurials of Melquiades Estra-da a "pick me up" moviesuitable for the whole familywith its objectified sexscenes, patrol brutality andtorture, but it is one of thosewonderful films that if youget through it all, will staywith you forever. Andthough you may walk awaya bit perplexed trying to de-cipher the film's meaning fordays on end afterward,through it all The ThreeBurials shines with an al-most opportunistic, fantasyoutlook on existence thatyou can't help but feel goodabout.

When movies, television,newspapers, books, andeven real life bombard uswith an view, it's difficult toignore. It's difficult for us tobelieve that the entire worldis not really as bad as itseems.

This is the case with theold-fashioned romance. Thekind where a couple meetsand gets to know one anoth-er for a while before theyjump into anything. Thekind where you make a com-mitment to each other andonly to each other. Thecourtship. The thoughtfulgifts. The pleasure of eachother's company. Saturdaynight with a rented movieand a bag of microwave pop-corn.

Sounds right out of afifties television show, does-n't it? I mean, we're in a newmillennium. Love is differ-ent now. There is no truelove or love at first sight.There's promiscuous sex,six-week relationships, 13-week marriages, sleeping to-gether on the first date, timespent together in bars and at

parties. That's what Holly-wood tells us both in itsmovies and in the lives of itscelebrities. So true love does-n't exist, right?

Wrong. Sure, it's an en-dangered species, but it's notextinct. For those who wantit, it's out there. For thosewho don't believe me,maybe you're just with thewrong people. Maybe youneed to keep looking forsomeone who feels the sameway that you do.

Just because old-fash-ioned romances are rare, thatdoes not mean that theydon't exist. Any couple canhave an old-fashioned ro-mance. You can even makethat decision together. It hasto be mutual, but it can bedone. It takes commitment,trust, devotion, and some-times a little effort, but it'sworth it. The way contempo-rary relationships are is theselfish easy way out. Rela-tionships are not about beingselfish, and they're not aboutbeing easy.

So how do I know thatold-fashioned romancesexist? Because I'm living one.We met two and a half yearsago and hit it off right away.Neither one of us had datedmuch before, and the rela-

tionships that wewere in were alsolonger exclusive re-lationships. Wewere best friendsfor five months be-fore he finally gotup the nerve to askme out. We datedfor a year before heasked me to marryhim at, where else,but Cinderella's cas-tle. Of course, that'sonly after he droveto my house to askmy parents' permis-sion without meknowing about it.We're getting mar-ried in June.

So what. Sowe're one case. Cer-tainly you wouldnever see celebritiesin such a romance,right? Still notright. Jon Bon Jovimarried his highschool sweetheartand is still marriedto her to this day.It's not likely, butit's possible even inthe realm of celebrities.

So maybe the worldwants you to think that old-fashioned romances nolonger exist. That's really too

bad. It's not true, though. Letyou're relationships developslowly. When they do devel-op, make the commitment tobe with that person only. Lethim open your door for you.

Let her bake you something.It's not sexism. It's love-thereal thing-as simple as itmay seem.

The New Old-FashionedRomance Is Possible For You

How Do You DefineHooking Up?

Intractable conflict. Itis a term used by scholarsand policymakers to de-scribe some of the mostdifficult conflicts on theglobe – conflicts whoseparticipants are fightingover fundamental issuesof identity, ethnicity, reli-gion, or even their contin-ued survival as a people.Of all the intractable con-flicts, the conflict inNorthern Ireland is notthe worst. Presently vio-lence is sporadic, casual-ties are low, and intermit-tent progress towardspeace has occurred partic-ularly since the Good Fri-day agreement of 1998.And yet, the conflict con-tinues, a final solutionthat appeases the CatholicRepublicanists and the

Protestant Unionists hasnot been reached and sup-port for “hardline” partiesis growing.

One of the definingcharacteristics of in-tractable conflicts is theprevalence and persist-ence of enemy images. In-tractable conflicts aredominated by an “us vs.them” mentality oftremendous consequence.Enemies are not just agroup who happens towant a particular piece ofcontested land, or greaterrepresentation in govern-ment. Even if enemiesmake steps towards peace,we remain deeply skepti-cal, convinced of their ha-tred for us, their inferiori-ty, and their difference.Particularly as conflictsdrag out through decades,as the Northern Irelandconflict has, these enemyimages become all the

more embedded, passedon from generation to gen-eration, their naturalnessaccepted without contro-versy. From a peacebuild-ing perspective overcom-ing enemy images and the“us vs. them” mentality isarguably the hardest chal-lenge – much harder thandrawing new lines on amap or rebuilding infra-structure destroyed dur-ing conflict.

In recognition of thischallenge, the UnitedStates Institute of Peace(USIP) has developed aprogram called “Track11/2 Diplomacy.” Track11/2 diplomacy is specifi-cally targeted towardsemerging political leaders,20-40 year old men andwomen who are in theearly stages of a career ofpolitical and communityengagement. The pro-gram is designed to coun-

teract these enemy images,with the hope that theserelatively young politicalactors have less hardenedimages of their enemies.The program activelychallenges the “us vs.them” mentality by bring-ing together diversegroups of young politicalactors, allowing them toget to know each other ina more neutral setting. Al-lowing them, it is hoped,to develop new images oftheir former enemies, tochallenge the stereotypesof the Other that they haveall grown up with. Suchan initiative is hopefulthat by priming theseyoung political actors toaccept political adver-saries as real, nuancedpeople, they will be betterprepared to work for alasting and stable peace.

Provided you made itthis far you may well be

wondering what thishas to do with the av-erage Rollins student,well acquainted withthe Northern Irelandconflict through, let ussay, countless hoursspent at Fiddlers.Three things. First, in-tractable conflictsteach us the danger ofenemy images, thedanger of sweepinggeneralizations aboutthe Other. Thinkabout that the nexttime you conjure upan image of “radicalIslam.” A recent pollsuggests that nearlyhalf of Americanshave a negative viewof Islam. One in threehave recently heardnegative remarksabout Muslims, and

nearly half have recentlyheard denigrating com-ments about Arabs. Agrowing number of Amer-icans believe that Muslimsare inherently more proneto violence. These imageshave a nasty habit of deep-ening and persisting, oftencausing violence along theway. Second, exploit youryouth. It is a time whenone can actively challengestereotypes, make choicesto visit and engage differ-ence. A funny thing hap-pened when young politi-cal actors from NorthernIreland began to takeplace in Track 11/2 Diplo-macy, not only did theybegin to understand theperspective of their ene-mies, but they gained newperspective on themselvesand their own beliefs.And third, an interestingobservation of those in-volved with running Track11/2 Diplomacy. Whenparticipants engaged eachother anonymously, theyactually increased their re-liance on and perpetua-tion of enemy images.Only through face to facesocial interaction (whichwas admittedly very un-comfortable at times) didthey really begin to unrav-el stereotypes and changetheir assessments of them-selves and others. Travel,seek out difference, andstomach the discomfortthat comes with challeng-ing your beliefs and iden-tity. After all, you will be40 before you know it.

Finding Peace for Northern IrelandA look at the Northern Irish peace process and how we can apply it to our everyday lives.

Erica Bouristhe sandspur

Religious turmoil is aproblem that will continueon this planet as long asthere are people with beliefs.There will be major rifts be-tween peoples of contrastingfaiths, and sometimes, thosespaces are filled with vio-lence and terror.

One of the most infa-mous examples of this typeof unrest is the sectarianismin Northern Ireland.Catholics and Protestants inIreland have found them-selves in a constant state ofbitter feuding for centuries,especially since 1922 whenNorthern Ireland gained itsindependence.

Both sides of the argu-ment are Christian. Both are

Irish in nationality. So whatis it that they have to fightabout?

The truth is that it hadlittle to do with denomina-tion. The feud is political.Most Catholics support na-tionalism, whereas mostProtestants support union-ism. It is to the point wherethe terms are used inter-changeably in Northern Ire-land-Catholics equal nation-alists and Protestants equalunionists. It is a type of civilwar within Northern Irelandthat does not require organ-ized armies or militias. Itdoes not require generals orheads of state or uniforms.

What it requires isteenagers in the streets withweapons. It requires fellowcitizens to be pitted againsteach other in violent out-bursts. It is more than a po-litical debate. It is war, and it

has been waging for years.They fight in the name of

their denominations, andthat in itself is already a seri-ous problem. As a Catholic, Iknow that we disagree withsome elements of Protestantdenominations. However, atthe end of the day, we are allChristian. We all have thefaith that, if we repent andbelieve in Jesus Christ andhis teachings, that we willspend our eternity in heav-en, and that all others whobelieve the same thing willbe there, too.

I also want to knowwhere in the Bible it saysthat Christians should fightamongst each other. I wantto know where it says thatwe should incite violenceagainst our brothers and sis-ters in Christ. I want to knowwhere our loving and merci-ful God supports that. Oddly

enough, I have never readthat passage.

Political unrest is a con-stant state of being in thisworld. The day that the en-tire planet is peaceful, every-body supports the same po-litical system, and there is nowar will be-well, quitefrankly, impossible. I hate touse the word impossible, butrealistically, it's true. Therewill be political turmoil aslong as there are people inthe world.

But political turmoildoes not need to requirecivilian violence, especiallyamongst youth and families.This kind of political dis-agreement should be dis-cussed amongst the civiliansquietly in the homes andclassrooms in the form of de-bates and discussions, andthe action should be takenby the heads of state in the

form of councils, hearings,and treaties.

And this war should cer-tainly not be waged in thename of Christianity. If it isabout politics, then say thatit is about politics. Say that itis a struggle between union-ists and nationalists, not be-tween Protestants andCatholics. Do not claim thatit is a war in the name of Godwhen it is not God's will forhow we should behave.

Northern Ireland cantake their political tur-moil and the violence thathas ensued because of it.But leave me and my faithout of it.

Jami Furo is a Music Majorin the School of Arts andSciences.

Contrary to popularbelief, the struggle thatcontinues today in North-ern Ireland is not a matterof religious differences,and it is not a silly warthat could be ended if thetwo religious groups wereto put aside their differ-ences and shake hands.Instead, it is a fight be-tween those demanding auniting Ireland and thosefighting for a separatestate with British ties,that coincidently comefrom two very differentreligions. Cooperationhas to occur in order forthe war in Northern Ire-land to come to an end,but that definitely doesnot entail the priests andpastors coming togetherand shaking hands in agreat photo shoot oppor-tunity, because the con-flict really has nothing todo with them.

Conflict in NorthernIreland can be traced allthe way back to the 17thcentury, when Protestantsfrom England who mi-grated to Ireland andEngland finally subduedthat part of the island.However, their arrival toNorthern Ireland meantfor the Catholic farmers'

complete displacementfrom the land that theyhave resided on for hun-dreds of years. Under-standably, the Irish beganto fight against the Britishinvasion, giving the con-flict a façade of being areligious conflict. Howev-er, it has developed into amuch more complex war.On the surface it may ap-pear to the naive, or thosewho simply have not fol-lowed Irish history thinkthat it is a ridiculous fightfor religious domination.But if you dig a little bitdeeper, you find that thehatred is stemming froman issue of nationality.

The Nationalists, oth-erwise known as thosewho want a united Irishcountry, are one half ofthe problem. Their refusalto recognize Northern Ire-land as an independentstate has led to centuriesof blood shed and fight-ing, which will not ceasefor a very long time.However, it cannot all beblamed on the National-ists, because the Union-ists, or those who pledgetheir allegiance to Britain,are just as guilty of shoot-ing people and spreadingterror among the country.In fact, the British Union-ists have done nothingbut exasperate the prob-lem over the years, begin-

ning with the first decla-ration of the independentnation in 1920. Not onlywere the civil rights re-fused to the Nationalists,which coincidently is pre-dominately Catholic, theywere also refused anyright to representation.Gerrymandering, or theremaking of boundariesin order to reduce thenumber of voting nation-alists in certain districts,was done for years underBritish approval in orderto create a Unionist-dom-inated nation. In fact, itwas called the "get pastthe first post" system, ex-cusing the blatant fact

that the democratic val-ues that Britain now hailswere refused to almosthalf of the population.

Although the Nation-alists should be punishedas a result of their use ofterrorism and violence tofight against the Union-ists, one cannot blamethem. Without a voice orany one of some type ofconsiderable political in-fluence, violent con-frontation is the naturalchoice when peaceful op-tions are just ignored.Can the conflict end? Ofcourse it can. Will it?Maybe, but only if bothsides realize that their

hard-lined opinions willsimply continue the con-flict. Cooperation is nec-essary for anything tohappen, and in order forcooperation, there has tobe an end to the blood-shed and the deep run-ning hatred that each sidefeels of the other "traitor-ous" side.

As you may have readin my previous article,Rollins’ new AcademicHonor Code will take ef-fect next fall, and I’m con-cerned that not everyoneknows what it is and howit works. You can findthose details on the Deanof Faculty’s web site, butlet me try here to explainour rationale of such acode.

An honor code isabout honor, which im-plies trust and integrity inadhering to agreed-uponprinciples of conduct.

In the case of Rollins’Academic Honor Code,that means specifically:

1. I will not plagiarize. 2. I will not cheat.3. I will not collaborate inunauthorized ways. 4. I will not resubmitwork from anothercourse. 5. I will not fabricatesources.

6. I will not help others tocommit academic fraud. 7. I will not violate test-ing conditions. 8. I will not lie. 9. I will not fail to reportHonor Code violators.

All of which meansthat you regard such pro-hibited behaviors as dis-honest and fraudulent be-cause you assume that ac-ademic achievement (un-less otherwise specified)is an individual accom-plishment evaluated ei-ther objectively or withreference to the relativeachievements of class-mates or cohorts. Fraud-ulent behavior pervertsthis system of fair evalua-tion and harms all in-volved.

In an honor system,each subscriber pledgesto uphold these principlesand expects punishmentfor failing to do so and forviolating the community’s

trust in his or her integri-ty and rectitude, therebyincurring dishonor andshame.

Furthermore, an aca-demic honor code re-quires protection fromthose who would fraudu-lently violate its princi-ples, implicitly harmingeach member of the com-munity by such trust-breaking acts. Thereforeall members of the com-munity assume responsi-bility and are honor-bound to prevent othersfrom betraying their mu-tual trust and perpetrat-ing fraud against the sys-tem. To cheat or plagia-rize harms others just asstealing money from amutual fund causes harmto all members. All al-leged violators of thecommon principles mustgo before the HonorsCouncil, composed most-ly of peers, for a hearingand for possible sanc-

tions.Integral to honor is

loyalty to the acceptedlaw, in this case to thenine specified academicprinciples. And it is as-sumed that loyalty to thelaws of the whole commu-nity stands above loyaltyto individual members(however close the per-sonal friendship) becauseall members have volun-tarily pledged to upholdtheir common principles.The best a friend of a vio-lator can do is to urge theperpetrator to self-reportan infraction to the Hon-ors Council before beingobliged oneself to reportthe offender, hard thoughthat conflict of loyaltiesmay be to reconcile.

Key to the success ofan honor code is that it isentered into voluntarilyand its principles are heldin esteem by all membersof the community—hencea pledge of allegiance to

the principles is taken byall who join the academiccommunity, and hencethose principles are con-stantly reiterated by sign-ing that pledge on eachpiece of work submittedfor evaluation.

Only when all mem-bers of the College havefreely and knowledgablysworn, upon their honor,to abide by the principles,can it succeed. And if itdoes succeed, then theCollege may hold itself inhigh esteem as a model ofethical integrity: a virtuethat its graduates willproudly carry into societyat large, always in need ofhonorable citizens.

During Spring Break,Rollins hosted its annualBaseball Week Tournamentat the Alfond Stadium andHarper-Shepherd Field. Thetournament wasn't held lastyear due to scheduling prob-lems so the Athletics Depart-ment was glad to put thetournament on this year andkeep the tradition going.

The Tars welcomed Divi-sion I schools: Boston Col-lege, the University of Pitts-burgh, St. Joseph's Universi-ty, Sacred Heart Universityand Bethune-Cookman Uni-versity. First to face off onthe opening Saturday wasPittsburgh and Boston Col-lege. Pittsburgh took anearly lead of 3-0 in the sec-ond inning and the gamesaw no scoring until thesixth inning when BostonCollege answered back withtwo runs and then again inthe seventh with three more.Pittsburgh tied the game upin the top of the ninth andwith Boston College unableto score a run, sent the gameinto extra innings. BostonCollege ended up scoringthe winning run in the bot-tom of the tenth inning, tak-ing the first win of BaseballWeek.

The two teams were alsonext to face off on the firstSunday. Boston College

scored first but Pittsburghkept the game tied in the sec-ond inning. Boston claimedanother three runs in thenext inning and Pittsburghanswered back tying thingsup again by the fifth inning.But in the sixth, Boston tooka commanding four run leadwhich they kept until theend of the game. The finalscore was 10-5.

Monday saw Rollins firstmatch-up of the weekagainst Pittsburgh. Disap-pointingly, Rollins failed toscore a single run through-out the entire game andPittsburgh took away theirfirst win with a score of 4-0.

Tuesday was the busiestday, hosting three games.First the thus-undefeatedBoston College took on un-derdog St. Joseph's Universi-ty. St. Joseph's endedBoston's winning streak witha score of 6-2. Pittsburgh andSacred Heart faced off next.Pittsburgh dominated theentire game never allowingSacred Heart to even thinkabout taking the lead. Thefinal score on that game was16-6. Finally, Boston andBethune-Cookman took thefield for the final game of thenight. Scoring right away,Bethune-Cookman took thelead and Boston Collegewasn't able to recover.Bethune-Cookman scoredfour runs in the top of thethird inning and another in

the fourth. The gameended with Bethune-Cookman comingout victorious 8-2over Boston.

On Wednesday,Sacred Heart wentup against BostonCollege. Boston wasthe first to score withfour runs in the first.Sacred Heart grap-pled to get ahead butcould only score onerun in the second in-ning. There was noscoring again untilfifth when Sacred

Heart gainedtwo runs andBoston Col-lege tookthree. SacredHeart scoredin the ninth,keeping thehope alive fora win andtying thingsup butBoston alsoscored leav-ing the gameat 8-7 andBoston earn-ing theirthird win ofB a s e b a l lWeek.

Next, St.Joseph's tookthe fieldagainst Sa-cred Heart. St. Joe's put fouron the board in the secondinning and Sacred Heartposted two. Later on in thefifth, St. Joseph's put up twomore leading 6-2.

Thursday saw twogames. First up was St.Joseph's versus Pittsburgh.St. Joseph's had trouble find-ing their rhythm and failedto score any runs until thesixth inning. Pittsburgh, onthe other hand, had alreadysecured 4 runs by the end ofthe sixth and held their leadinto the eighth after scoringfive runs. Pittsburgh stolethe game from St. Joseph's 9-3. Later in the evening,Rollins had its second gameof the week versus SacredHeart. This game saw a lot ofscoring. First was SacredHeart with two in the sec-ond. In the bottom of thethird, Ryan McKenzie andGary Martoccio scored forthe home team. Again in thefourth, Jason Cutlip scoredafter Gary Martoccio singled

up the middle. But thebiggest inning came in thebottom of the sixth. Cutlipwas first to make it homethen McKenzie. StefanoFoggi doubled down the leftfield line sending Tyler Hart-man and Gary Martocciohome. Kevin Schnacke hit asingle that brought Foggi toscore. Rob Cloar came up tobat and hit the ball out tocenter field allowingSchnacke to score. SteveMannenbach and Cutlipscored the last two runs ofthe inning bringing thecount to 12-2. In the eighthinning, Sacred Heart man-aged to score a run butRollins pounded four morehome. Sacred Heart made avaliant effort in the top of theninth but their six runs wereonly enough to being thescore to 16-9.

Friday's double-headersaw Sacred Heart versus St.Joseph's and St. Joseph'stook both wins making theirtally for the week 4-1. Thenext day Pittsburgh went upagainst Sacred Heart and St.Joseph's and defeated bothof them. Sacred Heart onlyscored five runs to Pitts-burgh's ten runs while St.

Joseph's only managed toscore a measly two runsagainst Pittsburgh's 14 runs.Finally, Baseball Week closedout with St. Joseph's goingup against Rollins. St.Joseph's was first to score inthe third inning but Rollinsmanaged to put one run onthe board when Tyler Hart-man scored off a single fromGene Howard in the fourth.Gary Martoccio scored in thesixth inning after GeneHoward again hit a single.Stefano Foggi sent one flyingout to center field and TylerHartman again scored forthe Tars. Jason Cutlip scoredthe final run in the eighth in-ning after a wild pitch. Theweek closed out with a 6-2win for Rollins over St.Joseph's.

So in the end, Pittsburghended up winning the fifty-eighth annual Baseball Weekwith a final record of 5-2.The Tars finished 2-1 duringthe week, St. Joseph's went4-3 and Boston College had arecord of 3-2.
