How many know what an associate dean or a provost is? Apparently, not many. When The Ithacan asked 1O students what a provost was, only one answered correctly. Ithaca College is looking for people to fill three positions. The School of Business needs a dean, the Park School of Communications wants an associate dean and the College is looking for a new provost. Search committees have been formed to find replacements for the~e positions. However, there is only one student on each committee, and each was selected by the administration, not by the students. Those students who care will not know what to look for in a new provost, dean or associate dean since they do not know what each position requires. Descriptions of these positions are not readily available to students. However, it is not only the Play more rap perhaps not as solid as the the unheard stories. We will College's fault.

All the favorites are there: Fiona Apple, Babyface, Hanson, R. Kelly and, of course, Paula Cole. The Grammys is another awards show where conser vative industry bigwigs vote on awards for artists they usually haven't heard of or aren't familiar with. An article last year offered the information that one voter had his daughter vote for him because he had never heard of ANY of the nominees. So, keeping in mind that quality doesn't matter, here are The lthacan's predictions for this year's Grammy Awards, which will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 25, in Radio City Music Hall.
