DECEMBER 17.1993 9 fi M /hat exactly defines m /§ I one's own sex? While |y ^/ some see it merely as a matter of having the genitalia corresponding to either a male or female, others go farther beyond that to classify it as a mannerism or nature. A woman who behaves roughly or enjoys sports while young is often referred to as a tomboy, while a similar man who perhaps doesn't carry his weight correctly or speaks with a speech impediment is classified as effemi• nate. Clearly, society has its own terms to define what constitutes a male and a female. While many may claim that those terms do not applied by them, the age-old defin• itions still have their impact in the modern world, at least at RIT. "I would just like to be treated like a human being should be treated. I'd like to have my life considered in the same way other people's lives are considered." These are the words of Perette Barella, a transsexual who is now involved in a struggle with RIT to define what she believes are her civil rights. While retaining the physical parts defining her as a male, she states that her mind has already made the transition, and it is a statement with which her psy• chologists and medical workers together agree upon. In six months her body will become that of a female. She wishes to be referred to as a she, and has changed her name legally to support the change. Barella dresses as a woman and takes hormones to repress that of her which is still male. Her con• flict with RIT arises with the ques• tion: "Should she be allowed access to the women's facilities on cam• pus?"

They also allowed her to use the facility of her choice, and made no commotion about it. As a part of the transsexual experience, candidates are required to follow a number of guidelines prior to their sex change. Most are in place to test the candidate's resolve. Stringent requirements for weight, height, and health need to be addressed or the operation will not be offered. Something as simple as a slight weight problem poses significant risks during the surgery, which, for males, includes the stretching of the frontal torsal skin downward in order to cover the former base of the penis. Aside from the physical prerequisites, however, emotional and environmental standards must be met as well. One guideline, printed in the Standards of Care of the Harry S.

The fol• lowing is a conversation I 111' ill Ki'N ii'NN with Simone regarding his thoughts on his first year here and his strategic plan for RIT. You may also find a few surprises as we discuss the new alcohol policy, the proposed University Club, and even the old CIA scan• dal. So without any further ado, I give you...SIMONE.

What do you Reporter: think of RIT now that you have been president here for one year?

Very pleased, Simone: very happy. There were very few surprises and those surprises were good ones. I felt that I had been around the block enough to know what to look for. RIT is a lot like many universities. It shares a lot in common, but at the same time, it has a uniqueness—it's different than other univer• sities.

,How does RIT differ from other uni- R • versities?

alt's different because on one hand it S • has a long tradition. You can trace its beginnings to 1829 with the Rochester Athenaeum and go up to 1885 when the Mechanics Institute was established. In 1891 you have a merger of the two. Those are the roots of the modern day RIT. That's over 160 years. So In that sense it has a long his• tory. But it's not a traditional university in any sense of the word. From the beginning its focus was serving the community, responding to the needs of industry, building on high technology of the day to provide careers for the students. And that's how it began. In 1885 Mr. Lomb from Bausch & Lomb said "we need more technical train• ing." And we had the beginnings of our serv• ing industry.

You mentioned there were a few sur- • prises, what were they? The only surprises were positive ones.

Higher education is going through the same challenges that every other public place is going through. Now what's the answer to that? My answer to that is very simple. I believe that to be successful in any organization, especially a university which has a tradition in academic freedom, you have to be often. You have to tell people what you're going to do before you do it, while you're doing it, and after you've done it. You have to be honest. You have to ask them for their input, and you have to really listen to it, honestly listen to it. If you do you're going to get some better ideas. You're going to change your own decisions. They're going to see that they've influenced the result. They're going to buy into that decision. , But those were obvious exaggerations. R • RIT was not infiltrated by the CIA. It was an educational issue.

, No, no, what it was is many of the fac- S • ulty and staff feel that the CIA had too much of an influence at RIT. The CIA had more influence at RIT then it should have had, in terms of channeling research, in terms of recruiting students, in terms of guiding university policy.

Bingham, who once ran the [llGHTMARE defunct Clark Dining Room, speaks with the experience of handling an eating establishment catered to business clien• tele. While opened to everyone including the business community (the club pro• posed by Simone would require a mem• bership fee that would most likely deter students) Clark was losing $100,000 to $130,000 a year, a hefty tab picked up by the Institute, and ultimately the students.

Nightmare Maryland-based consulting firm, is a seventy-six minute long claymation Birchfield Food Systems. While the draft report of this study is closed to outside eyes, James Bingham did comment that the study implied that the club would not be cost efficient, and therefore lose money that would have to be subsidized from other sources. Simone stated that while the Faculty Club is expected to lose money for the first five years, he was cer• tain it would begin to pull its own and eventually turn a profit. The two locations under serious con• sideration are the basement of the Bausch & Lomb building, and the current Clark Meeting Room, ghost-home of the former Clark Dining Room. While the Bausch & Lomb building would offer greater resources for parking and cre• ative construction, the cost of renovating would be much higher than simply updat• ing the old Clark Dining Room. Although the Faculty Club issue has not appeared on the formal agenda of the Student Government, President Todd Delaney stated "There has been discus• sion back and forth among student gov• ernment members. There is a wide• spread feeling that the general [student] society does not support the University club." And, on a personal note, he added, "I would oppose anything that's proposed to lose money." In the end, however, the final decision rests with President Simone. As head of RIT, unless he encounters immense opposition from both student organiza• tions and administrative heads, his is the final say.

Which would you rather have at RIT, quarters or semesters >

I like the quarter system better because yeu get mere variety in classes. You don't have to worry about getting toe begged dewn in [ one thing."

-JEN NUBA CriminolJusfice, 1 si year

I'm in ffcnrer off semesters basically because off the pace. I'm used te the quarter system already, but I den't think time would go as fast as in a quarter system, yeu knew what I'm sayingr' -BRANDON HOWARD Telecommunications Technology Management, 4*^ year

DECEMBER 17, 1993 39 MAN ON THE STREET

"Yes I have a preference: semesters. I'm having a hard time getting adiust- ed te the quarter system. 1 find if s much too fast paced. 1 feel over• whelmed here." -DEBORAH NOWAK Medical Illustration, graduate

"Semesters would bo boHer than quarters because you'd have more time to actually concentrate on the subjects. Over hero you learn it for a quarter and then you forget it for the rest of your life." -NAUMAN KHAN Biotechnology, 5* year

"1 like the way RIT does the trimesters. You got so much more information, if s stressful, but it seems like you get more out of if." -JON WORTHER Ceramics, I"year It was Christmas Eve and I was sound asleep. But then I awoke, I needed to eat. CHRISTMAS I crawled out of bed. Immediately scrambling for my slippers. I banged my head on my desk, and cut my hand with my nail clippers.

Now with two problems, my hunger and my hand. I was becoming frustrated, like when it's hot and there's no fan.

As I crept through the hallway, I tried not to make a sound.

Instead I stubbed my toe on my brothers matchbox town. EVE As I blessed him once or twice, I grabbed onto my foot. I smelt something weird, like smoke, ashes, or soot. I thought nothing of it and continued on my way.

The kitchen door was open, just about halfway. I went in the kitchen, someone forgot to turn out the light. The fridge door was open, something just wasn't right.

All the milk was gone, Santa's cookies were too. No one else was awake, except maybe you know who. But it couldn't be, someone was playing a trick.

Everyone knows there's no Old Saint Nick. My hand was still cut, so I dressed it with a ban-aid

Then I had a strange thought, do Santa's elves get paid. I heard something in the living room and then

the falling of our tree.

So I ran to the doorway, to see what I could see. He was a great big fat man and sort of a klutz. Sure enough it was Santa I couldn't believe my good luck.

He looked at the tree and began to giggle. Then he shook his hiney and gave his nose a wiggle.

Just then the tree moved and stood right up.

Santa drank the rest of his milk and put down his cup. He set all the presents, under the tree on the ground.

Then walked across the floor, without making a sound.

As he stood by the chimney, to ascend to the roof. He rubbed something on his belt, a small reindeer hoof.

Suddenly he shrunk, to the size of a newt.

He looked really funny, in his small Santa suit.

He shot up the chimney, like a bullet in a gun.

Going up that fast, must be a whole lot of fun.

I heard a thump and a thud, and a loud crashing noise.

I think he sat on the gifts, for the girls and boys.

I ran to the window, to watch him take off.

I think I caught a cold, because I began to cough. As he took to the air, with his sled and his deer.

I couldn't believe, that Santa was just here.

I listened carefully, as Santa was leaving.

He said:

"Merry Christmas to everyone and don't stop believing!"

—Xavier
