"Better than Cats."
SAC ALLOCATIONS DISCUSSED AT
TOWNE MEETING Sara Foley
NCSA president, Ed Moore, opened discussion with
clarifications concerning NCSA elections and a pool update, but
the focus of the evening quickly shifted to the recent SAC
allocations of September 17th. Chair of allocations, Amy
Laitcnen, and acting chair, Adam Stone, as well as other mem
bers of the SAC were on hand to discuss the funding decisions.
Jake Reimer, a first-year SAC member, seemed happy to discuss
allocations ... "it seems like it's good to have communication
about the things we [The SAC] do ... we have nothing to hide."
This year's proposals for fall allocations totalled
$132,628.00; of that,$64,797.19 from the $90,000.00 NCSA
budget. The largest chunk of funding went to the MAC-Lab;
other significant allotments went to the playground, the radio
station, the Race and Gender Symposium, and the Sailing Club
(see page 3). SAC members made it clear that funding decisions
were based on what they believed would benefit the entire
student body; in some cases groups were denied funding because
their requests only met the needs of a handful of people. In
addition, SAC members justified other funding refusals by citing
general vagueness in proposals and insufficient research into
other funding sources (such as the New College Foundation) as
criterion for rejection. It was suggested that those groups
rejected funding could submit reworked proposals to the SAC, as
allocations continue throughout the year.
Other items of interest covered at the Towne Meeting
included plans to build the bike shop in the Fitness Center
storage space appear to be on track; a meeting including Dean
Schenk and Judy Ronigan is require before the decision is
finalized. Also, sculptures and student government mailboxe
were two recommendations for the future of the old P.O. boxes,
which wiU be moved when the new boxes are ready for use.
Volurne LV, Issue 6 Septenilier 28, 1994
AND NOW, CAPTAIN KIRK Hey Folks! My name's Ed Moore, and in case you
didn't know, I'm the president of the New College Student
Alliance (NCSA), New College's (official) student government.
If you're an enrolled New College student, then you're one of us,
whether you like it or not. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all
know what's going on with me and student government in
general. So here goes:
I was elected last ovember, and I'll be in office
through that time this year. The role of NCSA president is set
out in our Constitution, which focuses on the various responsi
bilities the position brings with it Since I came here in the fall
of 1990, we've had six presidents, and their styles of leadership
have varied considerably. For my part, I've tried to emphasize
my role as facilitator, mediator, organizer, &c. It's important for
you to keep in mind that I really have no more power or access
to administrators than anyone else. I get to sign a lot of things
"ED MOORE" CONTINUED ON PAGE 4
HISTORY IN THE WRITING Rocky Swift
As the reputation of New College continues to grow, it
becomes increasingly important to remember its humble origin.
That is the subject of an upcoming book, which details the
founding and history of our school.
The idea for a history of New College began in the mid
eighties when former provost Bob Benedetti fonned a committee
to look into getting funds for the research and writing. This
committee was chaired by Dallas Dort, who was one of the first
trustees of New College and is still part of the New College
Foundation.
The committee chose Glenda Cimino, a member of the
charter graduating class, to author the book. Cimino worked on
the text for a year before having to bow out The project was
then taken over by former Director of Public Affairs Funnan
"Brud" Arthur. Prior to his work at New College, Arthur had
"NEW COLLEGE" CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

" EW COLLEGE" CONTI UED FROM PAGE 1
been a newspaper reporter in Sarasota.
Mo t of the information in th book come form the
New College archives in the library, but many mem hers of the
faculty and board contributed as well. The book is a narrative
overview of the history of our school from the beginning to the
present. Special auention is given to the factors and events that
led to the founding of New College. The aspirations of the
founders created a perpetual lack of funds that led to the merger
with USF. ew College i more secure now than it ha ever
been, and many people will be urpri ed at how fragtle its been
for most of its life.
The book has taken abut three year to produce, and we
may have to wait another year before it is available to the public.
While the book is all but finished, the powers that be have not
yet decided whether to have the book publi hed locally or with
an out of state company. When it i published, the ew College
hi tory will help to give our school an identity.
Corrections:
--Mark Johnson does not make appointments to unfilled po .ilions in student elections as was reported last week 10 our elections article. This i done by the CSA president.
--Dean Schenck's name was misspelled in the bike hop article. In the same article, the bike shop' new home will require $8,000- 10,000 not $800-$1000 as tatcd in the last is uc. We apologize for the errors.

"ED MOORE" CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 (purchase orders, timesheets, requisitions, an occasional pay
check), and I get to be in certain places at certain times, but
that's about the extent of the things I can do that most of you
can't.
I hope y'all will be comfortable coming to me with
problems you need to deal with, projects you want to start or
finish or figure out. or just bullshitting about this place and the
world and whatever. If I'm not around, feel free to give me a
call. My number at home is FLY-BETS (359-2387) and at
school it's 359/*-4267 and we should get voice mail soon, so
you can leave me a message. My box is 099, and I live in apt.
888 (the number of the snowman beast) in Sunridge, which is
pretty close to campus, if you want to come by.
The last thing I'm going to bring up are the projects I'm
trying to finish and some I'd like to work on these last couple of
months. If you have any suggestions, please let me know and we
can figure out what's manageable or worthwhile or whatever:
1) The Bike Shop Location: Hopefully this will be
resolved by the end of the week. We just need to fill Judy in on
what we've decided and get her input.
2) Sexual Harassment/Violence Policy: A group of
students, faculty and our former Director of Student Affairs
spent most of last semester trying to hammer out a policy. We
got a fair amount done, but we still need to finish it and bring it
before the appropriate bodies to approve it or let us know which
aspects need more work.
3) Barbara Berggren's Salary: Barbara Berggren has
been the Student Government Comptroller for the whole campus
for over six years now. Besides keeping track of all the ac
counts, she does a major chunk of the work that goes into
managing Ham Center, the Fitness Center, and the Mac Labs.
Without getting too technical here, we are able to pay her as a
temporary employee which allows us to retain control over her
position rather than having to cede that control over to adminis
trators. Unfortunately this introduces some inequities into the
picture. First of all, Barbara's employment security is not
guaranteed by much more than the good will of the two student
alliances. Obviously this hasn't been a problem for us or
Barbara. The other inequity is that she can't receive benefits. In
order to rectify this, my two predecessors, and now myself, have
included substantial raises in the last three budgets we've
submitted for Dean Schenck's approval. All three requests have
been denied. At any rate, we're going to deal with this once and
for all this year, and I may need the help and support of students
in one form or another to get this done.
4) Setting up the Academic Affairs Council: The AAC
is made up of all the student reps on faculty and administrative
committees. It's supposed to help coordinate the actions and
decisions of student reps on their committees and at the Faculty
Meetings. There hasn't been an AAC since I've been here, and
in light of the fact that there really isn't a kind of student gov't
"culture" at the moment, it seems like we should resort to this
albeit formal mean of getting together and hanging out. I'll be
calling the first meeting soon, so watch out.
5) Setting up a Student Disciplinary Procedure: Right
now we have two disciplinary alternatives: student court and
emergency procedures. Two poles, both in their make-up and
with regards to what problems they handle. It seems to me that
we need to have something in the middle to pick up the slack on
both ends and to remove some of the need for administrators to
decide "serious" disciplinary matters by fiat. I'm going to
approach the Student Life Committee about coming up with a
procedure to include people from the student body, the faculty,
and the administration.
6) Filling Empty Student Government Positions: I'll
be posting signs up around campus letting y'all know what
positions are up for grabs. The basic procedure is letting me
know you're interested, finding a time to talk about the position
and your interest in it, and then my making the decision. These
decisions are then subject to the approval or disapproval of the
SAC and the AAC, depending upon the nature of the position.
7) Figuring out what to do with the health fee: Anne
Fisher has proposed a one dollar per credit hour increase in our
health fee. This represents an overall annual increase of thirty
six dollars, which to me is pretty reasonable, but I shouldn't be
around next year, so I really shouldn't decide. Anyway, we need
to assess our health care needs on campus and figure out, along
with our friends in the UPSA, what action if any is merited.
This decision needs to be made soon to get it on the Board of
Regents agenda in January.
8) Setting up a better line of communication between
us and the Campus Police: Mark Johnson and myself have met
with Captain Kelly and we should be setting up an open meeting
between the students and some of the police fairly soon. If
you're having specific problems with the cops or a cop, let me
know, there are people we can talk to and actions we can take to
make sure the police are doing what's appropriate and if they're
not, to make sure inappropriate actions don't go unchecked or
unpunished.
I'm sure there are things I've left out, but hopefully this
gives y'all a general idea of what issues are important to me. If
there's anything you need to talk about with regards to these or
something else you'd like to work on, let me know.

"MINIVER COUGHED, AND CALLED IT FATE, AND KEPT ON DRINKING." Graham Strouse
Last Tuesday afternoon, I was lounging about my
spacious second court double balcony when I came to a very
sobering conclusion about substance abuse at New College.
Unfortunately I was drunk at the time.
I had also gotten drunk Monday night. And Sunday
night. I found that I had reached one of those points in my life
when I began to equate drunkenness with emotional comfort.
Basically, I bottled Mom and choked her down with a chaser
until my throat numbed and I could take it straight.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.
So why am I writing about this now?
Wednesday night I was sitting on the Wall out by flfst
court when a friend of mine sat down beside me. She was drunk
and stoned. My friend was terribly amused by the procrastinat
ing congregation out by the wall, a congregation that included a
certain lanky Jeff Goldbloom look-alike who was running
around in his underwear and overcoat. He was spanking people.
We sang Paula Abdul songs.
Why my friend found this amusing is understandable.
Unfortunately, these goofy, groking lunatics also made her feel
paranoid; paranoid enough that she didn't want me to leave her
alone and surrounded by the funkiness.
The next evening I was again minding my own busi
ness, this time in my room, when another friend walked in dosed
all the way to happy-happy land. She dropped at nine. A decent
trip lasts twelve hours. She had three classes the next day.
You want to know the worst part of this story?
I just sort of shrugged my shoulders. I was, to borrow a
phrase, dumb and numb to the whole affair.
After three-plus years at New College, I have seen my
share of the minds of my generation destroyed by madness,
starving hysterical naked by the hot tub, dragging themselves
across the Palm Court tiles at dawn looking for an angry fix.
Some got kicked out after reducing their minds to a pot
mush good only for smoking. Some wised up and restrained
their revels. At least one died.
Do not misunderstand me. I still maintain that hemp, in
reasonable doses, can be a happy little weed. Studies indicate
that alcohol in moderate doses reduces the likelihood of heart
disease. I've even heard that acid improves night vision.
Just don't over do it. Fire may be good for cooking but
it's no fun as a facial cleanser. You can't dance in it unless
you're a Hindi mystic. It's too damn hot to wash with, yet we
persist in fire-bathing.
Wanting to get a little zonked after a hard week of Kant
and calculus is certainly understandable. Getting drunk, high
and and/or dosed in the middle of the week on a regular basis is
just plain stupid. The fact that this occurs so often at New
College that even us sensitive poetic types are rendered insensate
is just plain scary.
Admittedly this wa a conclusion that I first came to
while riding on vodka, Vicks 440 (for a cold), and ephedrine.
Call me a hypocrite auteur if you like. Nevertheless this weekly
drinker proposes that we think once, twice, and three times
before getting screwed up on a school night.
We should also keep closer tabs on our friends. Watch
ing one's best buddy transform into a booze hound under a full
moon should make one think twice. If somebody is getting
screwed up too much, teal their liquor/beer/pot/acid and save it
for a rainy weekend. Say three Hail Mary's for sobriety and put
them to bed.
I'll drink to that.

CAMPUS CRIME STATISTICS NEW MAILBOXES ENTER SCENE James Reifel/ Liz Patterson
Have you ever wondered what the Campus Police do
around here other than give parking tickets? This chart shows
activity in recent months-<:rimes reported, noise complaints,
and various forms of assistance. Not listed are suspiciou~ person
reports (many, many rowdy Townies at walls and other su pi
cious types are escorted off campus), general assistance to the
community (New College and otherwise), or parking and traffic
violations. Also keep in mind that these figures are not the final
official statistics for the year, as the police go over their records,
For quite some time now, Student Affairs and Housing
have recommended that new mailboxes be purchased. After these
requests were processed somewhere in the region of Alpha
Centauri, requiring years of transit at the speed of light, the
Capital Improvement Trust Fund (CIT) approved the required
funds. The project was then trotted over to Rick Lytle, who is
responsible for upholding the continuing beauty of the New
College campus. He made the selection of the 798 steely grey
boxes currently residing behind the old ones in that little room off
some of the details may change.

Tom Levitan and Mark Johnson had made one basic
~ rcque t: that the new boxes lock. Johnson made this request
0 because "people have been ripped off. Money, tapes, checks,

0 student's credit cards from their boxes. He withdrew before he
0 was apprehended by the authorities. The only thing that could be
0 done about such thefts, prior to the advent of the new boxes, was

0 after first reaffirming his commitment to free speech, went on to
1 say that "someone made a statement for everybody. If people
0 think the new boxes are unattractive, maybe we can come up with
0 a way for individuals to paint or decorate their own boxes."
0 Finally, it has been determined that, yes, the old boxe
1 do belong to New College, as stated during the Towne Meeting

Recent events in Haiti:
Sept. 16 and 17 - An American diplomatic delegation led

avert the imminent invasion.
Sept. 18- The U.S. and Haiti's mililary leader reach a
last-minute agreement to allow two of the three leaders of the
mililary junta to step down voluntarily and to restore Rev. Jean
Bertrand Ari tide to power. The third member of the junta goc
into "virtual hiding". American official say that "the mi. sion to
restore democracy will be much easier with the three man junta
preparing to step aside." "llhink lhis is all confusing to sold1ers,"
say Major General David Meade.
Sept. 19- A Haitian soldiers watch impas ively, more
than 2,000 American troops land in Port-au-Prince taking control
of airfields and ports in the fu t phase ofthe attempt to restore
democracy to Haiti. The force is expected to grow to 15,000
soldiers from 25 countries. American hehcopters fly low over the
capital broadcasting a message in Creole: "Thi is not war. Stay
cairn . We arc here to bring democracy and humanitarian aid."
S pl. 20 - A demon trator ts clubbed to death by Haitian
officials as .S . forces look on.
Sept. 21 President Clinton reacts to the previou. day 's
incident by tatmg that "Such violence cannot and will not be
tolerated . .. . Our armed forces cannot and will not become
Haiti's pol ice force, but we can work to sec that the Haitian
military and police behave in a respon ible and professional
manner." 1,000 U.S. mililary police land in Port-au-Prince.
Sept. 22 - Rev. Ari tide thanks Clinton and announces he
will return to Haiti on Oct 15
Almo t half a century of confusion and controver. y may
have ended this month when the U.S. Air Force released a report
on the mysterious crash of an unknown object ncar Roswell, M.
The Roswell Incident, as it wa called, became legendary among
UFO fans and cover-up theorists a one of the most thoroughly
inve Ligated and authenticated case of UFO contact ever.
Radical thcori ts claimed that the Air Force quickly covered up
evidence of an extraterrestrial craft (including alien bodies and
other-worldly technology) in a major con piracy. The
government, they charge, studied the secrets of the crafl'
construction and made death threats to keep knowledgeable
people quiet. The Air Force's report tells a different story.
According to them the wreckage was part of a top-secret program
called Operation Mogul. The program's mission? To search high
in the atmo phere for weak reverberation from nuclear te, t blasts
in the former Sov1et nion. 50 years ago the Air Force said the
debri was merely part of a weather balloon. Apparently that
statement was not entirely true; the ba1loon was actually equipped
with en tuve radar detectors made of thin metal foil that may
have added to a UFO-like appearance. In any case, not everyone
i convinced by the recent report. "It'. a bunch of pap," said
Walter G. Haul, pre. ident of the International UFO Museum and
Research Center. "All they've done i give u a different kind of
ballocn .... let's quit playmg game ."
Seven people moved out of the scaled Biosphere II
ecolog•callaboratory Ia ' l week after a ix-month tay, severing
the project ' last tic. with a discredited management team. The
domed gla and stcc I tructure outside of Tucson Arizona was
d igt'cd to be a closed ecological ystem, hou ing laboratorie
and a .mb. 1 ·tence farm. Although th y had to be enurely self
ufficient for half a year, the even crew member seemed healthy
and well fed. However, the project ha been fraught with
admini trauve and tcchmcal difficulties and it i uncertain
whether future crews will live inside it.
