PREPARATIONS CONTINUE Numbers show rise of women in college While women have been the majority of college stu­ dents for about two decades, recent Census figures show that, nationally, their numbers have risen to 56 percent. In addition, women today earn the majority percentage of all degrees except doctorates. In the past few years, more women than men received bachelor degrees in science-related fields. Even in tradi­ tionally male-dominated fields such as engineering, ar­ chitecture and mathematics, women cut the gap by as much as 20 percent from a decade ago. - The reasons for the phenomenon are many, said Lynn Appleton, a sociologist at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla. But the fundamental reasons, she said, focus on the changing family. For example, she said because many contemporary fam­ ilies feel the need for two incomes, "many women who inay not have prepared themselves for the workforce 30 years ago now assume they will have to hold a job."

------NAMED SILVER CROWN WINNER FOR 1999-2000 The Ithacan I THURSDAY. NAMED BEST COLLEGE WEEKLY IN ~...... APRIL 4, 2002 9 THE NATION FOR 1999 PAGE .10 NAMED BEST COLLEGE NEWSPAPER "'~~ IN NEW YORK FOR 1999 p1n1on Editorials All talk, little action At two meetings this year, an assembly of top-level administrators dis­ cussed the importance of diversity at Ithaca College. The conversation continues the trend of analyzing a problem that any student could describe without conducting research. The Ithaca College population is not diverse. The statistics arc so overwhelmingly obvious that the official numbers confirm what simple observation reveals every day. Only 7.8 percent of students are minorities, and seven of 422 full-time faculty members are black. Several articles in The ltlzacan, including a recent piece on the lack of minority faculty, have also addressed the matter. Professionals who work at an institution of higher education should not need lessons in the importance of diversity. In their own pursuits of advanced degrees, they should have learned various theories and critiques addressing that issue. If they did not, then their membership in acade­ mia in recent years should have introduced them to those ideas, partic­ ularly since so many programs and events sponsored by their offices have explored related concepts, like "race and its meanings." If they still do not understand diversity, then they are clearly stuck in the past. Brian McAree, vice president for student affairs and campus life, said these meetings were "brainstorming" sessions, and the college will now "take the next step" and "try to get more specific." Apparently the as­ sembly suffers from collective amnesia because the college took that step one year ago with the adoption of the Institutional Plan, which outlined diversity as one of the nine long-term priorities. More than three pages outline the meaning of that priority and strategies to implement it. By repeating the same tired rhetoric-and spitting out questions already an­ swered, administrators are strangling progress and protecting the status Letters quo. Instead of pretending to have thoughtful dialogue, college leaders need to take the solutions they found months ago and act on them. The assembly should look at the diversity section of the Institutional ity plan at Textor Hall is one of many have a different schedule, it's Plan (pages 7 to 10) and start with the strategies that are easiest to im­ Gift promotes diversity construction projects already slated nearly impossible. plement.

All that jazz THURSDAY The annual IC Jazz Festival will hit APRIL 4, 2002 Castaways on Saturday. Page 16 CCent PAGE 13

BY MIKE NAGEL Staff Writer

Hip-hop, as a musical genre, has come a long way. Gone are the days of Grandmaster Flash and concert performances involving little more than a turntable and an emcee. Now there is a new age of multi-millionaire rap artists, stage pyrotechnics, bling bling and platinum album after platinum al­ bum. Hip-hop is now one of the world's favorite and fastest growing musical styles. Rap music, in its relatively short lifespan, has hit the mainstream. "Spin" magazine, in its April issue, rates hip-hop icon Jay-Z as the number one artist on its list of "40 Bands That Really Matter." "Spin" al~o puts three rap groups on its list of the 50 greatest bands of all time: N.W.A., Public Enemy and Outkast. • But rap is more than just the music. It is a .:, culture all of its own. This is evidenced in "the five elements of hip-hop:" rapping (em­ /l cees), spinning (deejays), break dancing. ? graffiti and the hip-hop lifestyle. ;:.;} Issues surrounding hip-hop and the ,,/('.. problems facing the genre have paved the 'k-1):i:,..;:. \ way for the formation of this weekend's _f§,::t<,"\ conference, 'The Hip-Hop Generation: Its .,,,.

Crit­ ics claim the music promotes vio- lence and degrades women lyrically and visually. And purists say hip-hop has strayed from its roots to become absorbed in matenalism. Spann said the conference will tackle some of these 1s!>ues that are linked to today's "hip-hop generation.'' ''[The conference tries] to dissect the images ofhip­ hop," he said, "ultimately bringing out the fact that hip-hop is more than lyrics,jewehy, thugs, video chicks and so on, but a deep culture - a way of life - of many branches and roots." The conkn.:nce will hold five different workshops. Each tries to answer important questions about the music, mdustry and lifestyle. "I thi!lk this conference is important because it will raise awareness about a myriad of issues con­ -.. :...,,. ¥ .­ fronting m,·rnbers of the hip-hop generation," con­ -· ference speaker Kenneth Robinson said.

Mutulu Olugabala, better known as M-1 from the .'~· . politically active rap duo Dead Prez, will also speak at the conference. Dead Prez is hip-hop's answer to Rage Against the Machine - militant, anti-capitalist and not afraid to show it. Most of the other workshops will focus on the eco­ nomic side of the rap business. Former political pris­ oner Fred H,,mpton Jr. and the Rev. Osagyefo Sekou are slated to lead seminars discussing topics such as the sale of platinum jewelry, urban renewal and spend­ ing and the political history of hip-hop. The conference concludes with an exclamation point on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Ben Light Gymnasium, where rap visionaries De La Soul will perform along with Sugar Hill Gang and Das EFX. Registration for the conference begins Fri­ day at 5 p.m. at Ithaca College. For $10 people can gain access to any of the workshops or panel pis­ cussions as well as the concert. Attendance is lim­ ited to 300 people. Tickets for the concert are sold separately and are available at ticket sales in the Campus Center. 14 THE ITHACAN ACCENT THURSDAY, APRIL4, 2002 If you screen it, .he will come Accent BY MICHAEL GELLER Staff Writer On America's national pastime, baseball, has been a staple in this country since the game's inventor, Abner Doubleday, threw the first pitch.

TH!.)RSDAY, APRIL 4, 2002 Press Box JUSTIN VOLDMAN Teams can't control strength of schedule There comes a time in a columnist's career when he has to admit he was wrong. Well, now is the moment you've al\ been waiting for ... Over the past seven months, I have taken several cheap shots at the strength of schedule for both

., ... - the football and men's lacrosse teams. I have said several times that both squads were overrated because they pad their sea­ sons with lesser­ quality opponents in hopes of making the NCAA playoffs, and then both teams are untested once it comes to play­ off competition. Well, over the past few months, I re­ alized that I was wrong. Why? Mainly, neither team has much control over who it plays. Take the football team. Though they played Utica, Alfred and St. John Fisher this year- teams with a combined record of 8-20- these teams will be in the new­ ly formed Empire Eight football confer­ ence, which officially begins next fall. Therefore, the Bombers had no choice but to play them. Union, one of the top-ranked CARLY CHAMBERLIN/THE ITHACAN teams in the area, refuses to play Ithaca. JUNIOR JESSICA WELCH controls the ball and looks for a teammate Saturday afternoon at the Upper Terrace Field against Draw your own conclusions why, but Utica. The Bombers dropped a tough 7-6 loss to the University of Rochester Tuesday after leading 5-1 at h~lftime. Union plays in the Upstate Collegiate Ath­ letic Conference, and Ithaca has domi­ nated teams from there m the past.
