he Office of Residential Life has launched a task force to address student concerns regarding the an­ Tnual on-campus housing lottery. The task forct is a worthwhile idea and should help to create more prodqc­ tive dialogue between students and Residential Life. However, as the task force sifts through student con­ .cerns, it should not even consider recommending that grade point average be a factor at any level of the housing lot­ tery process, a suggestion offered by some. This would be unfair and inequitable. Likening tfle GPA of a one student's major to another is akin to comparing the writing of John Grisham to that of Salman Rushdie. Additionally, the smoking clesignations used by Resi­ dential Life are effective and should not be altered. These classifications guarantee that non-smokers nev~r have to live in an environment that has housed a smoker in the past. . Any policy change would jeapordize non-smokers' right to expect a clean, odor-free living space. What the task force should address soon are two clear J shortcomings in the lottery process. t First, squatting is currently allowed anywhere but in the Garden Apartments. This should be reconsidered and made consistent across campus. Students should be allowed to squat in any location they desire.

BY JOSH MCCANN Staff Writer

Alfred coach Ken Hassler had seen it all before. Less than a month ago, his team started slowly against the Bombers, gave up an early goal to sophomore Tom Nevinger, and never recovered, succumbing 2-0. When the first-seed Bombers- and fourth-seed Saxons met again Saturday in the semifi­ Men's soccer nals of the Empire 8 Tournament, Nevinger ======scored again just three minutes into the match, and the 23rd-rank-ed Bombers appeared headed for another decisive victory. But Hassler's squad was determined not to go down so quietly this time. After Alfred pulled even on a penalty kick in the 33rd minute, the two sides ·remained dead­ locked throughout the remainder of regulation and two tumultuous overtime periods. The Saxons eventually prevailed, advancing to the final with a =4-3 advantage in a penalty kick shootout. "In the regular-season game, we came out a little flat against them," Hassler said. "Today, we stepped up and matched their intensity, and it allowed us to play a much more even game." After Nevinger blasted the ball through the outstretched arms of Alfred goalie Brian Middleton, the Bombers were on their way - but then the Saxons' resiliency kicked in. "After their goal, they controlled the next few minutes," Hassler said. "But then momentum DAVE NELSON/THE ITHACAN started to shift back towards us, and we picked up JUNIOR MIKE ALEXANDER pounds a shot toward Al~red.goalkeeper Brian Middleton during the Empire 8 semifina\ against Alfred. our intensity."
