A flag representing the lesbian, gay, bi­ sexual and transgender community is miss­ ing after someone cut the flagpole lines ear­ lier this week. Office of Public Safety Investigator Thomas Dunn said the white canvas banner reading "Homophobia?" - which BI­ GAYLAraised two weeks ago after the gay pride flag was stolen - was cut down some­ time Tuesday morning. It was reported stolen at 8 a.m. Tuesday. Dunn said the person or persons respon­ sible may also have been trying to steal the gay pride flag. "They were able to break lose the rope at the top but could only get the one flag," he said.

Troops open -fire on Iraqi protesters Residents of Fallujah, a conservative, tradition-bound city west of Baghdad charged Tuesday that 14 Iraqis were killed and 75 others were wounded when U.S. soldiers · opened fire on a crowd of protesters there. More than 24 hours later, the circumstances of the shoot­ ings involving members of.the 82nd Airborne were still in dispute. The Americans said they were only defending them­ selves after Iraqis started shooting at them Monday night and that they could not confirm U.S. forces had killed apyone. Participants insisted it was a peaceful, if heated, demonstration, and pointed to scores ofdead and wounded. Sorting through the various accounts of what occurred is difficult, not only because of .the chaos of war, but because of the hatred filling the streets of this city, and because of the vast cultural gap that exists between the Iraqis and the Americans. This was Saddam Hussein country, a Sunni Mus­ lim enclave about 60 miles west of the capital that was hos­ tile to U.S. forces long before they ever arrived. . No matter what the truth turns out to be, the _incident has fanned outrage against the Americans as they try to stabili-ze the country and win the trust of the Iraqi people.

Incoming freshmen will have to do more than just make the usual trips to pick up ex­ tra-long sheets, a message board qnd"show­ er shoes. In preparation for entering Ithaca Col­ lege, the Class of 2007 will be the first asked to spend time reading as part of the new first­ year summer reading program. 'The college has announced that the in­ augural book will be "The Color of Water" by James McBride. The book tells the sto­ ry of McBride's mother, a Polish Jewish im­ migrant who married a black man and raised 12 children in New York City in the face of racial and economic concerns. President Peggy R. Williams, who made the final decision for the book, said she thinks the book has an interesting story that will cre­ ate some thought-provoking discussion. "The whole point is to make it an exer­ cise in critical reading and critical thinking, where they will understand, the point of view and analysis that in some way critique it and come up with their own sense of what they DAVE NELSON/THE ITHACAN think about the book," she said.

. . . lst='Te:MU.. •.. I Editorials f ' Forgotten fountain i Friday lacks a campuswide·$ocial event hatever happened fo the day formerly I known as Fountain Day? Ithaca College stu­ W dents still deserve a celebration - this time, a safe one - on the last day of classes. Friday marks the fourth anniversary of the death of the original Fountain Day, when seniors paraded from the Textor Ball to the fountain in fro~t of Dilling­ ham Center, triumphantly plunging into the fountain in mad-bull rush while underclassmen looked on in envy. In 2000, the event was moved to Senior Week to curb excessive campuswide drinking. It's obvious Fountain Day was inherently an insur­ ance nightmare and not the brightest of ideas. After all, alcohol and swimming don't mix. Fountain Day cre­ ated a culture that, like Cqmell's Slope Day, centers on unrestrained underage drinking and not on academics. Unfortunately, a number of Ithaca College students still see the last day of classes as just that, an excuse to ditch classes in order to return to their rooms to pat;ty. The absence of any recognition of the last day of classes, however, brings to light a largely unconsid­ ered void. Ponder this: What are Ithaca College stu­ dents historically compelled to do as a whole? The answer is a resounding nothing.

It was nice to see the Ithaca College women's lacrosse team recapture the Em­ pire 8 championship and a return to the NCAA tournament. The road back to the top was definitely not the one that the laxers expected. Two seasons ago, the Bombers had a season similar this ·year's.

But things changed quickly for the South Hill squad the following fall. Then coach Piep van Heuven moved on to greener pastures, taking an administration job at the University of Maine in Orono. An­ ticipation turned into desperation as Ithaca scrambled to find a replacement. Mike Wood was hired on an interim ba­ sis.
