Members of the college Young Democratic Socialists and Students for a Just Peace knew worker's rights were a national issue, but did n '-t expect to find labor abuses in Ithaca, a bas tion of progressive thought. Allegations of labor abuse at a local pizzeria gave the student activists another rea son to attend a national rally Saturday in New York City. Three former employees of Collegetown Pizzeria, 401 College Ave., claim they were paid only $4.35 per hour (80 cents an hour below state minimum wage), expected to work 70-hour weeks, subjected to verbal abuse and housed in unsanitary conditions in the basement of the pizzeria, said Pete Myers of the Workers Rights Center.

The decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver allows the FTC to fine telemarketers $11,000 each time they 'call any of the 51 million people who have signed up for1the list, at least until the case makes its way through the courts. Oral arguments are scheduled for Nov. 10 in Tulsa, Okla. "This i~ an important victory for American consumers," _ said Timothy J. Muris, the trade commission chairman. "We believe the rule fully satisfies the requirements of the U.S. Constitution, and we will now proceed to implement and enforce the do-not-call registry." Tuesday's ruling was the latest of a series of verdicts that began·shortly before the national list was to take ef fect a week ago and that turned up the heat on an already politically volatile issue.

Park School of Communications will Ihold its first formal meeting. The· committee will be looking for the right candidate to usher the Park School into a new era. That person is out there somewhere, and students, faculty and staff trust the committee will be thorough in its search for the most qualified candidate. Though it will be tough to fill the shoes of former dean Thomas W. Bohn, who served the Park School as dean for the past 23. years, the committee should adhere to a high standard as it evaluates the field of prospective deans. The school's new leader should build on the prestige, reputation and character that Bohn brought to communications at Ithaca College. Students have the most at stake in this decision, since it will affect the reputation and further growth of the Park School - and therefore the value of their degrees. They should expect the new dean to be a person of extensive experience and great intellect, who brings a fresh and unique perspective to the college. Most importantly, the candidate chosen must be innovative_, eager to listen and connected to students, faculty and staff in all aspects of the Park School. It is imperative that the c~didate chosen is Letters approachable and accessible to students - someone who does not place himself or herself in an ivory tower, but rather a person who leaves the door open Paulsen :missed point send you some Jove since you will prob- vices this past weekend, nor did I attend as much as possible.

The hemp shops and sports bars of The Commons seem millions of miles away when all that sur rounds you are racetrack mementos and signs pointing the way to the city's natural wonders. It's a one-horse town in every sense of the word. Night clubs are about as common in Watkins Glen as Republicans are in Ithaca. The calm is interrupted only by the piercing wail of a siren summoning volunteer firefighters to the fire house for an emergency. Recreational vehicles and hot rods cruise slowly down the city's only major thoroughfare, while aging tourists meander up and down the sidewalks. It seems like a world apart, but it's only 21 miles away. Driving west on Route 79, with its dips and dives, slopes and scenery, is like riding a roller coaster that you control. There's a point at the top of one of the ridges where the view is simply spectacular. The trees in the valley below come together to form a patchwork of orange, yellow and red, accented by dapples of sunlight. Tobe's Coffee and Donut Shop is one of the first land marks on the way into the city. Located at the comer of Fourth and Decatur streets, the place is a prime hangout for locals looking for cheap doughnuts and tasty coffee. The atmos phere is as authentic as the Upstate New York accents heard· all around. The calories can add up fast at a place like Tobe's, but there are miles and miles of trails to hike. The main entrance to Watkins Glen State Park is on Franklin Street, which is the main drag in town. It costs $6 to park a car there, but LARRY WESTLER/THE ITHACAN parking out on Franklin Street is ample and free. LOCALS GATHER ON the pier at Seneca Harbor to talk, fish and take in the scenery.

The in the sights and sounds of life on Seneca Lake, you'll have sheer beauty. Countless minor waterfalls trickle along the views down the steep cliffs into the gorge would be terrifying a good ride.
