On Monday, November I 0,
colgsle Univenity confinned ali,puons that the Kappa Della Rho
(KDR) fraternity had failed to

Twice this fall the fraternity was

~ off=pus and was initially
opo~cd to the college by local
..,iiec, allegedly involved under-
passing motorists at risk. The activity also violated Colgate's policy
that mandates the full and equal
treatment of new members in any
organization. l-or those violations
the University placed KOR on probation for two years and provided
outside resources to assist the chapter with reevaluating chapter traditions and practices.
While KOR did, in fact, abide by
those sanctions forbidding alcohol
consumption in the chapter house,
the University confirmed reports
that the fraternity membership had
subsequendy met and a ~ as a
group to resume hazing ac1ivities.
According to the University's official statement, such activities included restraining new members in
a locked boiler room, forcing members to slay up all night, intentional
humiliation and plaMing 10 leave
members at remote locations with
the intention of impeding their re·
tum to campus.
Seventeen membcrsofKOR confinned the allegations, leading the
chapter to admit responsibility before a campus conduct board, composed ofstudents, faculty and members of the administrative s1aff.
KOR also admitted filing a false and
misleading Slatcmenl with the Un_jversity and violating the lenns of
their probation.
Dean of the College Adam
Weinberg regrets that the situation
required such puni1ive measures,
but maintains a level ofconfidence
in the decision made.
"KOR has a long and proud histoiy
at Colgate, but it is clear that the
current KOR bears no resemblance
to the KOR that used to exist at
Colgate. It has also become clear

or.
On Thursday, November 14 the
Colga1e e•mail system once again
came under attack. Late in the afternoon, the server was reportedly
'hijacked' for the purpose of relaying spam e-mail, which prcvcnlcd
students and fucuhy from receiving
off..:ampus e-mails and sending emails off.campus. However, the c•
mail bug did not affect Microsoft
Outlook or Webmail accow,ts.
The virus that debilitated the
server was a modification ofthe previously known Mimail virus. The
Mimail virus tricks users by asking them to update credit card infonnation, and once the e-mail is
opened, the virus collects e-mail
addresses and spreads to other
computers.
This recent c•mail trouble was
simply the latest bump on what
has been an extremely rocky trip
through cyber.;pace. The server
has been plagued by numerous
problems this year and has been
shut down or delayed several
limes. Students were pleased that
1hc mos1 recent problem was relatively quickly; however there is an
overwhelming sense of frustration
among students.
''111.c recurring network and email problems arc extremely frustrating," sophom*ore Marc Frankel
said. "I would just like to be able
to surf the Internet or check my
email wi1hou1 having to worry if
it will work or not I am sure JTS
(Information Technology Services) is working very hard to
maintain a secure network, but it
jus1 doesn't seem to be effective."
The Colgate Information Technology Services staffworked diligently to resolve the e•mail system in a timely manner. '"After
working with Microsoft for two
days and not really making too
much progress, we ins1allod Win·
dows 2000 and Exchange on our
hot spare and re-routed all the
messages through the new server,"
OircctorofNctworks Systems and
Operations John Gattuso said.
On November 19, the nc1work
once again experienced some
problems as a result of two brief
power ou1agcs. ln~tant mess:.ging
programs and Internet access did
not function properly for about 20
minutes after power was regained.
Most students acknowledge thai
this was not the fault of ITS or the
University. but the ongoing d,mculties have became a considerable irritation.
"I pay 37,000 dollar.; a year and
one oflhe services 1hat I except is
dependable e.mail and lnterne1
services," sophom*ore Steven
Segall said. "Such unreliable email is disruptive to the educational process and unacceprn.blc.
Such shoddy reliability would not
be acceptable in any other environment and it should not be 101~
crated at Colgate."

BACCHUS Mixes Up Winning Concoction For Second Year
By Hayley OS!rager
Mar<>0n Nt!v.'.f Staff
Whether at Homecoming,
Student Activities Night or in
a dorm prcscn1a1ion, many of
us have seen the tremendous
efforts of BACCHUS on campus. This past week. from November 13 to 16, the Colgate
chapter of BACCHUS attended a National BACCHUS
and GAMMA conrcrcncc in
Washington, D.C.: The Peer
Education Network General
Assembly.
The event attracted over 850
students from schools all over
The National Conference established our chapter in the national
organization
of
BACCHUS. It also gave our
leaders a chance 10 he,ar successful programming ideas from
the country. including the Uni-
versity of Virginia, the UnivcrSity of Albany, Drexel Univcr•
sity and Hastings College.
other schools. as well as to relay
our own achievements. For the
firs1 time at a National Conference. Colgate submitted a pro•
gram, .. Fact or Fiction," which
was aecepled for use in the daily
confe rence routine.
You may remember "'Fact or
Fiction" from firs t-year dorm
programs. It is a game that begins with an information session,
followed by a question round of
factual a nd fic111ious stories.
When the game concludes, the
fac ili1ators categorize 1he answers: fact or fiction.
You may also be wondering
what BACCHUS would be like
without moc:ktai Is? For the second year in a row, Colgate won
the mocktail contes· with a pi·
rate themed "Caribbean Cannon-
ball." This non-alcoholic beverage consi sts of blended ice,
amarclto, Sunny D, coconut and

The future of human roles in

Wiley Professor of Economics
Jay Mandie gathered 10 discuss
issues )urrounding space colonizalion,
This event, sponsored and organized by the Space Exploration
Society (SES). addressed not
only the probability or 1imi:1g of
space colonization buL also 1hc
c1hical. economic and political
unccr1amtics and issues that surround this 1opic.
There is certainly more 10
consider than the slyling of
futuristic images inspired by
our favorite science fic1ion
novel s. These real and current
issues must be addressed before
humankind can make any
progress.
Aveni began the discourse by
relaying ~he news 1hrn Th e New
)'ork Times: Scic,,ee had recenlly printed what arc consid•
ercd the 25 mos1 provoea1ive
questions that science faces. of
which "Will humans ever visit
Mars?" ranked number three.
We have been to Mars only with
robotics. Would it be worthwhile
to send human beings to the sur•
face of Mars, given 1he risks,
monetary cos1s and loss of effic iency that will be incurred?
Aveni argued 1ha1 the en·
deavor would not be worth its
cos1s. He proceeded to discuss
the issue of "terra•fcrmizing''
Mars, 1hat is, making Mars more
like Eanh through such errons as
the creation of an atmosphere.
Again. Aveni argued thu1 the
cos1s of1his extreme and remote
possibility far ou1wcigh i1s
gains. The following questions
were also raised: "ls Mars even
ours to alter? What basis do we
as human beings have for laying
claim pans of lhe universe?"
Ranking below the question of
humans' visiting Mars were
questions regarding genetics and
a possib le cure for cancer.
Clearly, this topic has captured
the imagina1ion of people around
the world. as well as the pocket•
books of Americans. Mandie
explained. '"Space exploration
will never be profitable," he said.
h was s1a1ed 1hat it will have 10
be for the pursuance of science
alone that these endeavors con·
tinue.
However, i1 was asked
whether those financing these
projects would reac1 10 positive
or nega1ivc externalities that will
accompany exploration. Another
idea that was brought up was tha1
with astronomical numbers of
American dollars c urrently going toward such programs. it is
the U.S. citizenry that is paying.
Lecturers asked whe1her this
mean1 1hat the United States, as
an elite nation, would claim all
benefits that may result, without
sharing them with the rest of the
world and possibly imposing the
negative externalities on poorer
nations.
One of the more provocative
questions in the T;mes article
asked whether we are genetically
predisposed to war. For the sake
of discussion this question was
altered to: "Arc we predisposed
10 exploration? What is it 1hat
makes us wish to leave t he
Earth?" It was suggested that we
might possibly perceive the
Earth as something left behind
when its resources have been
depicted or ruined, or that we
migh1 plan to use other planets
as cosmic dumping grou nds,
eventually creating a utopia here
on Earth.
Senior Rob Anderson lent a
philosophical angle to this question of human nature when he
proposed tha1 "actually, it sounds
like an ancient story. It sounds
like Oedipus trying to get away
from his problems. And in doing
that, he has actually brought his
problems upon himself. It may
be that we're j ust trying to avoid
our own destruction."

Massachusetts Court, Rule Gay
Marriage Coo•tituliooal
Bos1on- The State Supreme
Court ruled on Tuesday 1hat gay
couples have the right to marry
under the state constitution, and
the CouJ1 gave 1hc slate legislature 180 days to create a stalewide system of legal same-sex
marriages.
..The Massachuscus Constitutton affirms the dignity and
equality of all individuals. II forbids 1hc creation of,ccond-elass
citizens," wrote Chief Justice
Margore1 H. Marshall of the
state's Supreme Judicial Cou11.
Because it is based in state
law, the ruling cannot be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. And it cannot be
overturned by the legislature.
Bui the legislature could try to
omend the state Constitution to
ban gay marriages, an option that

vor for on Tuesday. Such a proccss, lbougb, would take al least

Controversial Credit Hour System Under Consideration
co11fllf11ffifrvm fNlgf' I
internships and labs. As many students stan 10 look for summer opponunities. they arc rcjcc1ed because some internships require
1hat the school give credit, which
Colgate doc:,. not. Consequently,
the proposal calls for a quancr of
a credi1 10 be reworded for imcmsh1ps. Although this pan of the
proposal gantcrcd the strongest
s uppotl from the s1 udcnts,
Ticfcnthalcr believes that this may
cause 1he most controversy among
the Colgate faculty. The qucStion
arises: what type of internship
should receive crcdi1 and what
type should not?
"Why should one person receive credit for an internship at an
invcsrmcnt bank while another
student docs not for interning at
their family's small company?"
Hale asked.
"The imcmships, which arc rewarded credit, will probably be
supervised by faculty members,"
Ticfcn1haler said. However, 1his
issue is s1ill unclear and needs further deliberation.
Another concern that SGA is
hearing from students is the question of lab credn.
"[ l hope) that students who arc
taking science classes will receive a benefit for all their time
spent in lab," Hale said.
The proposal suggests that
labs up to three hours receive a
quarter ofa credit while the labs
more than three hours will warrant half of a credit.
"The facully feels that stu•
dents arc beginning to choose
classes based on how much time
i1 requires," Hale said ...The fraction:11 credit sysrem will reward
kids that put in the extra time and
act as an in<::cn1ivc for students
10 take classes that require
labs."
However, the SGA and Aca~
dcmic Affairs Board do acknowledge 1hat not all majors require
outside work.
"The SGA pushed for the frac1ion system because it keeps all
majors on a level playin@ field, in
tcnns of graduation re,tuirements
while still giving credit 10 extra
academic experiences." Hale said.
Nevertheless, a main issue of
this system is the concept of total
credits and gradua1ion. As of now,
the Academic A ffairs Board is still
under discussion over whether lhe
current 32 required credits should
be increased. The new credit system would give students the oppor1unity to cam more credit during
each semester.
..A major concern of the administration and SGA is that students
will want 10 graduate early or take
fewer classes. so many feel 1hat the
number of requirements should be
highcr,"Halcsaid. '1bc point ofthis
system is 10 reward students for the
commioncntS they put in outside the
nonnal class hours; so it dcfcalS the
purpose of granting extra crccbts if
the bar is raised in the number of
requirements. This problem is wh,
lhis component will be given the
most consideration."
Currently, the Credit Hour Sys,
tem is still being discussed. Nonetheless, both Hale and Ticfcnthalsec it as something that will bnng
innova1ion 10 d,e Colgate cuniculwn.
In order to hear student feedback.
SGA will ''make a proposal through
a combination ofdifferent ways. 1n
particular a newsletter that sho"'
the proposal, explains i~ and provides a way a student can send back
their rcac1ions/' Hale says. Thll
proposal will be voted upon in Sen·

Killing Two Birds Just To
Give Thanksgiving For One
By Victoria Klarftld '06
n Plymouth, Massachusetts, circa 1830,
about 200 years aficr the first Thanksgiving, the festivities were still simple;
ctiecronbcrrics were fresh, the stuffing was
cooked over a fire. and turtceys were roasted
Ol'I spits. In NcW1on, Massachusetts. circa
1002, the only spit around was flying at
various members ofmy family- all because
oh turkey. Well, two turkeys.
My father, ever the infomercial junkie,
,.1 s inspired by one half-hour sales pitch

li)cuikcy you' ve ever had in less than an
11our," the turkey fryer was greeted by the
I
quiet storm known as my mother.
Already irritated that her favorite holiday, Halloween, was nct1rly a month in
1he pas1 1 the idea of some alien pot taking over her Thanksgiving was too much.
My mother roasted a turkey every year.
She worked on that turkey for hours, toiling and 1rimming until she began to talk
10 herself - a schizophrenic Thanksgiving turkey prep was a Klarfeld family tradition.
And traditions die hard. Refusing to bend
10 lhc prospect of some fried monstrosity.
my mother decided to forge ahead and make
htt own roast turkey - all 14 pounds - to
bavc in addition to the fried turkey. That's
roughly six pounds of bird per Klarfcld.
The stage was set. My father employed
my brother, Alex. and me to help rehearse
the process of getting the turkey to the
fry pot on the back deck and back into
Ilic house again - 49 minutes, 23 seconds
Oat, including cooking time. Mom glared
al us while we pracliccd - or was she glaring at 1he turkey - from the kitchen window, She seemed to tremble with rage,
Thanksgiving Day arrived and all the
usual sights and smells came with it: cran•
berries, stuffing, pumpkin pies baking, and
ofcourse the traditional jugs of peanut oil,
eight gallons of them, waiting to fry up
Turkey number two.
The air was crisp and clear that night, and
my mother's turkey was safely roasting in
the oven. Dad stood outside in the softly
falling snow, huddling near the pot~ waiting for the gurgling oil to reach about jso
degrees - any higher, the Barbecue Barn
Boys warned, and it would explode. Like
Iron Chef with a healthy pinch of family
dysfunction, the heat was on - whose 1urkcy would reign supreme?
forty-five minutes later (four full minutes ahead of schedu•e, my father noted),
the fried turkey emerged from its boiling
oil, my father beaming with pride. Mom
was right on Dad's heels, pulling her turkey out of the oven a couple of minutes
later.
There they sat, at opposite ends of the
dining room table, staring each other
down - the turkeys. that is. As for my parents, they were gazing lovingly at their
respective birds, each chef refusing to acknowledge the existence of the other.
Diplomatically, Alex and I took a slice
of each. The verdict? The roasted turkey
was undercooked; the fried turkey was
overcooked . ..1 never liked turkey, anyway," Dad grumbled. Mom raised her
head slowly, sneered, and resumed poking at her slice of bright pink roast turkey. Alex chewed cheerfully, oblivious to
the mounting tension. The cat looked up
hopefully, waiting for some manner of
turkey, cooked or otherwise, to ny in her
direction. I wanted to be anywhere elseeven Colgate. ''Well," Mom started,
'"we'll do this differently ncxl year, won't
we?"
And here we arc. Less than a week before Thanksgiving 2003, and we have yet
to learn how many and what types of turkey we'll have this year. One thing I know
for sure, though, Iron Chef has nothing
on the Klarfelds. I understand that Mom
has been ogling the Butterball display at
the local supermarket and my faliier has
been seen lugging gallons of peanut oil up
from the cellar.

University justify keeping (again, accordlot to their own Relationship Statement)

Sobby Arora
By Vicki Bendetson
Maroon· N~,s Staff
Coming to Colgate opened doors 10
an unexplored world for senior Sobby
Arora. AJlhough he had never trav-
eled outside oflndia, and 1hough none
of his family members were in the
United States, Arora was optimistic.
" It sounds adventurous." he
thought, and so he boarded an airplane for the first 1ime to make his
way 10 Hamilton. ·•t wanted to go to
, place where l could get my feet
grounded," Arora said of his decision
to come to Colgate ... I wanted to get
to know people instead ofjust getting
lost in the crowd."
Since his first days at Colgate,
Arora has worked his way into the
eampus community - slowly at first,
but eventually becoming a prominent
activist for the betterment of the studenl body. Today, Arora serves as the
Vice Presideol of the Studcnl Government Association.
"Sobby is an amazing leader," SGA
Senator junior Lindsey Fleece said.
"He has a wonderful way of looking
11 things and keeps a gcounded perspcc1ivc on a wide spectrum of issues."
Arora. a member of Kappa Delta
Rho (KOR), is also involved with lhe
Link Program. For lht past three
years, he has devoted the final week
of his summer vacation to welcome
incoming first-years 10 campus and
teach them 1he ropes of Col gale.
"Being a Link is the coolest thing
ever/' Arora said ...The Link Staff is
45 of 1he most hyper, supersocial
people put together - it's amazing!"
"Sobby has 1hc ability 10 make anyone laugh," fellow Link Leader junior Ali Grabler s.aid . .. He's fun and
spirited, but also knows how 10 get
down to business when he needs to.
After all, he basically does every1hing
there is to do at Colgate!"
"This past summer was great - the
moSt amazing summer ever," Arora
said. "I stuck around here and I was
the Orientation intern, so basically I
was planning Orientation 2003 with
Dean of First-Year Students Bev Low.
I edited 'So This Is Colgate... • and the
Inky. I made tons of changes to them;
1believe they never gave students a
true impression ofColga1c."
When Arora 1hinks 1bou1 leaving
Colgate, he knows he will most miss
"the amazing and crazy lime spent
here, especially wi1h my boys at
KOR," he said. "There is no replacement I can find for that in the 'real
world."'

First of all, you don '1 want to do any1hing that will compromise your rela·

Tim Lamb '03, are Colgate alums. Last
Wctkcnd, Colgate welcomed Albeck and
Lamb back to campus as the Colgate Activities Board (CAB) sponsored Daily
Supplement •s performance at the Pub on
Thursday, November 13. Unfortunately.
tnclement weather led to cancellation of
their performance that night. Instead, they
were offered a gig for the following night
at a downtown apartment, which they
rtadily accepted.
·
Daily Supplement consists of four band
?!embers. Albcck, lead singer and guitarISL, is from Clarks Summit, PA, who some
may remember as a devoted Outdoor Education Staff member. As a senior, he created and 1aught 1 "Wilderness Songwril-
ing Course ... He and Lamb, guitarist from
Summit, NJ, became friends as first-years
and have created music togc1hcr ever
since. Lamb played on the Water Polo
team and enjoyed dancing... Whenever
good music came on, I danced freakishly," Lamb said.
Scott Schuman, drummer. and Keith
Schuman, bass guitarist, are twin brothers
also from Clarks Summit, PA. Albeck and
the Schumans have been playing together
since seventh grade. Along with other
friends from their hometown, the trio
started their own alternative rock band,
Anatomy.
.. It was a gre.at start,'' Albeck said. "We
covered Pearl Jam tunes and wrote our own
compositions." Albeck and Lamb played
and wrote songs throughout college.
"After graduation, we decided it would
make sense for us to move to my hometown and start a band with the [Schuman]
twins," he said.
The band relo<::ated to Ithaca in June
2003 because they felt that their music
would be more widely accepted and appealing 10 college students. They rented
a house together in August and have been
working, writing and polishing 1heir
sound ever since. Before the summer was
over, the band gave a former CAB coordinator a recording of their songs. The band
came back ro Colgate to gain exposure for
their band, now looking to ..get as many gigs
as possible," they said.
When asked to characterize the Daily
Supplement sound, Albcck emphasized the
inherent rawness and energy. All of their
songs arc based on themes: in practice, one
member begins by suggesting a certain
theme, which prompts the band to interpret
and play accordingly. In this way. their
music spirals and complementary themes
emerge to fonn entire songs. The band
members pride 1hcmsclves on making spontaneous music and exercising their collective creative element
"About half of our live shows arc impro-
vised," Lamb said.
Despite 1he misfortunes of Thursday
night, the band's perfonnancc on Friday
night proved enjoyable to all who auended.
The almosphcrc was very laid back; those
who prefeJTed to simply listen to the music
relaxed on the couches while others danced
ro every song. Most of the audience knew
of Albe-ck and Lamb's calent, but were curious to hear what type of new sound they
had developed since graduation. All oftheir
songs kept the audience energized and smiling throughout the performance.
"We were pretty bummed that we
couldn't play on Thursday, but we still had
a blast playing on Friday," Albeck said.
Since the band formed, they have played
approximately LS live shows, agreeing 1hat
Friday night's was among the best.
"I was exci1ed that people were dancing," Lamb said. '"The people were really
receptive. With each show, we keep getting better.''
The band members derive much of their
musical influence from their jazz backgrounds. In particular, they model after
the sounds of "hard bop," a style of jazz
that emerged in the late 1950s and early
'60s. They also look 10 the music of Steely
Dan and Frank Zappa for inspiration and
influence.
Because Daily Supplement is still in its
early stages, the guys arc focusing on practicing and writing original songs every day.
Their top priority is developing their sound.
On average, the band composes one new
song each week. No albums have been made
yet, but the band has produced many demo
tracks; they handed out copies of their
demo-CD to the audience during Friday
night's pcrfonnancc.
Another focus of the band is to increase
recognition by scheduling as many gigs as
possible. About one month ago, the band
pcrfonncd at a weekend festival in Pennsylvania called "Chuck's Farm." Since they
moved to Ithaca, they have been playing at
various college parties and high schools
around the area. In the near future, the band
is scheduled to play a gig at Pennsylvania
State University.
··we would also love to come back and
play for Colgate," they said.
The music of Daily Supplement was
both cntcnaining and rcfre.shing for
Colgate students who attended the show.
Hopefully the guys will return once the
wea1her improves.

Pac-10 Features Several Important Football Rivalries
Keyshawn Johnson was placed on Tampa
Bay's inactive list this week, putting an end

Johnson may care very much about winning, but it is not the only thing ii.e cares
about. If this were the case, he would recognize lhat being a team player and a supporter of one's coach are crucial characteristics ofa winner. Johnson docs indeed want
to win. However, he wants, more than anything, to win his way. lfhc was leading lhc
league in receptions and receiving yards,
and the Bucs still posted a four-six record,
odds are we would not be seeing Johnson
attacking his coach on the sideline. The reality of the situation is that Johnson is not
even the leading receiver on the team, and
the team's lack of success could not outweigh his lack of satisfaction with his diminished role.
Johnson has always been a spectacle. Afler his rookie year with the Jets he wrote a
book entitled "Just Give Mc the Damn
Ball." lfhe was only concerned with winning, why didn't he title the book "I'll Do
Whatevor It Takes To Win."That is beside
the point. In that book Johnson ripped his
then current teammate Wayne Chcrbet.

just been lighting it up since he got back
his starting job last year. Since Holmgren
came to Scottie, he has had his struggles,
but it is good to sec things are finally turning out well for him. He is one of the best
coaches in the
NFL. it is just that
for a while he
could not really
figure out how to
continue being a
great coach while
also being a
GM . Thus, when
he had his GM tag
lifted last summer and was able to focus on
wha1 he docs best - coaching - it was great
for him and the franchise. The results speak
for themselves.
• Pretty pathetic perfonnance by the Vikings on Sunday, as they let one ofthe worst
quar1erbacks in the NFL over the past decade beat 1hem. Rick Mirer. the man for
whom Dave Wanns1edt was traded (thus
he's obviously a bum) has done no1hing in
his NFL career arter the Scahawks wasted
the number two overall pick on him in the
1993 draft. Yet Mircr was able to lead the
Raiders to victory over a Vikings team that
is in a tailspin. After winning 1heir first six
games, the Vikings have lost their last four.
Mike Tice better fig ure something out
quickly or he is going 10 be gone just as
fast as their hopes for the playoffs.
• Speaking of struggling teams, the Giants
lost again on Sunday. The loss brings the
Giants' record 10 4 ..6, and the fate of Jim
Fassel very much in jeopardy. That said, I
would not count the Giants out quite
yet. Tilis season is not the first time Fuscl
hos faced losing his job, and in the past his
players have responded very well, even
earning a spot in the playoffs purely on their
play in November and December. So even
1hough your season seems to be over Giants fans, keep your heads up, as Fassel has
a history of making something out of nothing.
• We saw a classical example of the mentoc

these two men were

Super Bowl victories, and it's not dirficult to see why, as
both of them have

did win the game. Personally, I do not really
believe in guarantees, not because it's bullc,.
tin board material for the other team, but because I feel it is usually a distr.1ction to the

Agree/Disagree: The NHL Should Implement New Rules To Increase Scoring
1GREE - Mike Walker
In recent years, the NHL has

Ilic same. Baseball lowered the

1960s. Hockey is going through a
similar downturn in goals per
game and needs to halt this trend
10 increase the excitement 10 be
found in each and every game.
O\'er the last couple of years,
toal scoring has dropped to about
fi1·e goals per game, or about a
three.two score on average. This
average is down two goals per
game from only IO years ago, and
down four goals per game from
tht offensive bli1z that was the
1980s. Low scoring games often
keep the score close. but fans buy
tickets to see their team put the
puck in the net. The neutral zone
trap system on which teams such
as the Devils have relied heavily
in recent years not only prevents
goals, but ruins the beauty of the
game as well. Instead of watching
plays unfold rapidly in the offensive zone, hockey has become a
rugby scrum at center ice. The
style of play commonly seen today stiOcs the offensive talents of
star players. When the NHL
changed the overtime period to a
four-on.four fonnat, it opened up
the ice to a faster paced, cnd-tocnd affair that is exciling and
exhilarating. Can you imagine if
the whole game was played in a
similar style? Hockey needs more
back and fonh flow at a more ex·
citing pace. You'd think team!: a.re

these days.
Another important aspccl to
higher scoring games is the notion
of the comeback. These days,
when a team gets a two--goal lead,
they sit back and trap, trap, trap
until they smother the other team
to game ·s end. I even watched
Colgate hockey do this every lime
they had the chance last year.
Given a lead of a goal or two, the
team played a dump-in, quick

Right now, however, de
Boiss.czon docs not want to focus on anything other than
Monday's race. To consider a
goal such as an All-American
title requires strict training and
a disciplined outlook, and the
Raider captain is intent on capluring these qualities by mirroring his preparation and strategy
for the regional meet. This entails running a regime that in- ·
eludes more mileage at prac1ice
than the senior has ever run before in a season that often has
called for over I 00 miles every
week.
..In such a big meet, it obviously helps to know wha1 you 're
