NAMED SILVER CROWN WINNER FOR 1999-2000 The Ithacan a THURSDAY NAMED BEST COLLEGE WEE KL V IN ~... . . OCTOBER 4, 2001 ~ THE NATION FOR 1999 PAGE 10 !'f-1;fh NAMED BEST COLLEGE NEWSPAPER IN NEW YORK FOR 1999 R1n1on Ed itorial-s Unity prel11ise flawed Last year and in years past, the rain kept students away from the annual Unity Day relays. This year, the sky was clear, and the sul_l was shining, out still only 100 people came to celebrate diversity and min­ gle with each other. The poor attendance at Unity Day reflects students' attitudes tow.ard the administration's agenda. Diversity is a celebrated term the college re­ peats so often many cease to notice or remember what it really means. Students see the posters proclaiming unity and dismiss them. Most stu­ dents do not feel they are divided and consequently have no cause to unite. Lectures, concerts and presentations about many cultures abound on this campus due to the college's concerted efforts. From time to time, the events draw substantial crowds, but most students fail to take ad­ vantage of these opportunities to learn. One reason for student lack of interest may lie with the college's moral approach to prom0ting the events. Instead of publicizing multicultural events as ways to learn more about the world, the college implies that these events will cure students of their biases and narrow-mindedness. Multicultural activities like the festival should certainly be encouraged but not under the pretense of uniting the entire college community. If the idea behind these events is to expose students to different perspectives and open their eyes to other cultures, then the college should appeal to their sense of curiosity, not their values. All students listen to music, watch films, attend plays and eat at restau­ rants. The college should capitalize on these common activities by adding a twist. The college could bring rap, gospel or jazz groups to play in Letters the quad, an area nearly everyone passes through.

« .... , The going gets tough THURSDAY Field hockey team suffers third straight OCTOBER 4, 2001 hard-fought loss. Page 25 ~/Onrts PAGE 23 Line looms large in early success With veteran backs, Bomber blockers lead solid run game

BY CHARLIE ELLSWORTH Stajf \.!'riter ______

Every postgarne interview with senior run­ ning back Tommy Giorgio goes the same way. Ithaca's preseason scrimmage against Cornell was a perfect example. After break­ ing several long runs against a tough NC AA Division I-AA defense, the tri-cap­ tain modestly deflected his accomplish­ ments to the men blocking for him. "[The offensive linemen] have to hit the hole and block someone, and they did it beau­ tifully today," Giorgio said. "I just had to run behind them, and it was great." Giorgio's humility is certainly a unique trait. However, his compliments of the offensive line do not come without reason. Through four con­ tests, the Bombers are averaging 398 yards per game, with almost 250 of that yardage com­ ing on the ground. The latter number marks an increase of nearly 80 yards over last sea­ son's average through four games. f.
