It was just an advertisement, but apparently it is truth among some here at Ithaca College. Clearly, there is a gap between the school's t external image and its internal reality. Some inter nal realities are crowded classes, lack of resources, and alcohol use and abuse. The exter nal image, though not necessarily inaccurate, includes a 12 to 1 student to faculty ratio, a healthy growing campus and community, and scores of positive extra-curricular activities. The external image is projected mostly by ;;4,ETTERS administrators, particularly those in Job and Alumni Hall. It is their duty to let everyone away from South Hill know how flawless the college is.

The imposing figure of Eric Scott docs not match his calm, soft-spoken manner. As a martial artist, Scott appears well prepared to physically defend himself, but his dream is to use his physi cal ski II to tell better stories. The senior film major is offering his services as a stunt coordinator for film students who may wish to include action scenes in their films. "What I'm offering to do for people is whatev er they need done as far as anything action orient ed, anything stunt oriented, he it something large or somdhing small," Scott said. Scott explained the difference between large and small stunt~: "In a film that I'm writing for myself later, I'll probably jump off of something, some- sort of low building," Scott said. "That would he considered large. Something small would be considered a small fight between two people." Scott lirsl began serious study of martial arts through the Jujistu cluh at Ithaca College, but recalls his real inspiration in incorporating the arts into his film work. "The one who really kind of helped me realize that this is part of what I want to do with my life, my career, in addition to writing and maybe direct ing was Taryiin Molina," Scott said. Molina is also a senior film major, studying in Los Angeles this semester. "What she wants to do is fight choreography," Scott said. "She ... helped me realize that I want ed to add the martial arts that I do somehow into the film that I love, combine two loves into one." Scott's houscmatc, second semester junior Lucy Willingham, can observe his dedication in his craft. "fHe's] very passionate about it and I get to hear a\\ about it every day, al\ day, every night, all night," Willingham jokingly complarned. "It's kind of fun because I do get to learn moves and stuff. Every now and then he'll come home and he'll be like, 'look at this!' and he'll show me and he'll teach me." Senior Ryan Callahan, who performed in a LISA COMMISSO/THE ITHACAN fight scene in Scott's film "Possibilities," was also Senior Mike O'Connell (standing) fields a jujitsu takedown from senior Eric Scott. impressed with Scott's dedication. "I was really Scott is a fil'!l major who works as a stunt coordinator to act in film students' movies. impressed with his attention to detail," Callahan said. "He really took his time, went over it, we had a rehearsal session a couple days before the shoot and then we just spent a lot of time before we shot working it over and over and over." Scott aims to create fast paced fight scenes that include various strikes, blocks and dodges, and makes use of the environment. His main sources of inspiration are the films of Jackie Chan. ~, writing for "If you look at a fight scene in Jackie Chan [films], it's just amazing. Of course, what he's myself later, I'll able to do, that's part of it. He's just so skilled as far as that goes. But the clements that he combines into a fight scene, with IO or I 2 guys running probably jump around and the way it flows pretty much seam lessly is amazing to me." Scott plans lo add even more martial arts to his off something, repertoire. "I also study a Brazilian art called Capocria some sort and also I'm probably going to begin studying with a dojo in Cortland that teaches a Chinese martial art called Wing Chun ... and also a Filipino low building art called Kali, which is stick fighting," Scott said. "In a movie that I write, I want to be able to incorporate more than one martial art," Scott said. -Senior Eric Scott LISA COMMISSO/THE ITHACAN O'Connell flips Scott as the two spar. As practice "I think it opens up possibilities, it lets you have a for his stunt scenes, Scott studies martial arts. much more entertaining fight scene, it allows you to be a little more creative with what you can do." His housemate is positive about the importance of Scott's interests in his chosen field of study. "Fight choreographers you just don't think about," Film student karate kicks Willingham said. "You just think that the director tells them to do this, but that's not true. There's a whole other category there, and I think it's really cool that he's found that and truly is very passion boring scenes into shape ate about it."
