BY JENNIFER A. HODESS News Editor

Freshman Megan Hampton, an 18-year-old exploratory major m the School of Humani­ ties and Sciences, was killed instantly in a car accident around 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Hampton was returning to the college from her hom~town of Rochester, N.Y., when she lost control of her 1994 Ford Mustang while heading southbound on Route 89. Hampton lost control of the car while trav­ eling down the hill into Taughannock State Park, said Sergeant Walter Schedel of the Fin­ gerlakes State Park Police. ~The-roads-were·lightly coated with snow at the time of the accident, police said.

Michael Skupm instead got fired Thursday night. ~ The pig-killing, software-company president from White Lake, Mich., flamed out after accidentally falling into a Kucha tnbe campfire. His hands badly burned, he dove into the bor­ dering stream in an effort to slake his pain. It was no use. "It keeps intensifying," he shouted while fellow tribe mem­ bers looked on in horror. Skupin, who turned 39 after filming ended late last year on "Survivor: The Australian Outback," soon was evacuated via helicopter after medics bandaged his hands. Tribemates, particularly sobbing Elisabeth Filarski, seemed genuinely grief-stricken. But leave it to snarky Jeff Varner to remmd viewers that it'll still be war when the Kuchas and Ogakors merge tomght into a 10-member tribe. Skupm told the Kuchas he had gotten too close to the campfire and passed out from smoke inhalation. His tumble mto the flames was not shown on home screens, but the seg­ ment still carried a viewer advisory, "Survivor's" second this season. Episode 4, in which Skupin stabbed a pig to death, drawing the ire of animal activists, also warned viewers of unsettling footage to come. Bush travels to promote budget plans

Response time for seniors during the first hours of their registration will be monitored closely but may be slow. While a series of enhancements have been added to improve system response, a key improvement may not be ready for this registration. The system's design team needs to test response during an actual period of heavy user access. To accomplish this, seniors (those with 84 or WHEN: MARCH 19 to MARCH 29 more credits) will receive access as a single large group, and may experience WHERE: OFFICE OF ADMISSION slower than desired response during the initial access hours. TIME: 5:30 P.M. to 9:30P.M. Juniors and sophomores will be subdivided into smaller sub-groups to assure speedier system response times. Slow system response time was a primary concern during registration this past fall. While it remains our goal to provide a system that performs as well with 1,500 students registering as with I 50, until Refreshments will be served. we have completed and tested the system enhancements, restricting access group size promises to yield the most marked improvement in system performance.

NAMED BEST COLLEGE WEEKLY IN MARCH 8, 2001 THE N/\TION FOR 1999 PAGE8

NAMED BEST COLLEGE NEWSP/\PER IN NEW YORK FOR 1999 Editorials New position welcome It has been almost eight years since the college has had a~y full­ time staff member solely devoted to substance abuse educat10n de­ spite the fact that, like any educational institution its size, the college has a sigmficant amount of underage drinking, high-nsk drinking as well as drug abuse. The staff position that had previously dealt with these issues, co­ ordinator of drug and alcohol education, was eliminated m 1994· l 995 because the grant that funded it ended during a period of downsi~ing at the college. While resources should have been mustered at that ttme to retain the position, they were not and the gap left by that inaction has been felt ever since. Fortunately, the President's Task Force on Alcohol and Other Drugs noticed this hole during its -ongoing study of the campus. It recom­ mended to the administration that a full-time director was needed in order to establish a preventative, rather than a reactive program, to combat alcohol and drug abuse. Taking the task force's urgings to heart, the board of trustees has approved the formation of a brand-new position - a full-time direc­ tor of health education programs that has been included m the approved 2001-2002 budget. This move has been a long time coming. It was first recommend­ ed by The Ithacan in Nov. 1999 following the release of the Core In­ stitute's Alcohol and Drug Survey results, which showed without a doubt that there is a systematic pattern of substance abuse on campus. This abuse can be combatted, but it takes more than surveys and task forces. Before the J?roblem of abuse can spread further, it will require education and coordination and, most of all, organized action aimed at breaking the pattern of abuse. While this director will also Letters be dealing with health issues beyond substance abuse, hopefully that will remain a focus until this silent crisis abates. The need for productive action on this problem has been realized LGBT post welcomed based on equitable distribution of family (the financial and social and the creation of the new position should facilitate it.

Freshman Hughes and junior Balta earn trip to NCAA championships in Buffalo BY JONATHAN FRIEDMAN Staff Writer

Imagine you are part of a state-champi­ onship winning team. Along with your many team­ mates you fight the best New York has to offer, leading your team to victory. Now imagine you have been reduced to a team of one, competing at the national championship against the greatest swimmers in Division III. That 1s the challenge for JUmor David Bal­ ta and freshman Megan Hughes, who are the lone representatives of the1r teams at this year's NCAA championship in Buffalo. "It's going to be a new experience," Hugh­ es said.
