That's what it is now being labeled by the V-Day 2000 College Initiative, a movement that features Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues," a parody about a woman's first menstrual period, giving birth, homosexuality and rape. Ensler's award­ winning show is not the issue. V-Day began on Feb. 14, 1998, as an attempt to use Valentine's Day to advocate the end to violence and abuse against women. This year the event includes campaigns on college campuses to spread the message. According to an advertisement, "V-Day is a campaign to end sexual violence against women and proclaim Valentine's Day as the day to celebrate women and demand the end of abuse."

The CDs packed the music stores. It seemed like everyone wanted you to take lessons. Beau­ tiful young people in expensive clothes were jumping, jiving and wailing to itin television commer­ cials. America experienced a short but powerful explosion in the popular­ ity of swing music in the late 1990s. For a while it seemed as though swing music would be the next big wave in music. But only a few years later, swing music in mainstream America has gone the way of Hanson, Fountain Day and snail mail: It has vanished. No one really knows how swing music got so popular a few years ago. Until then, for the most part, swing music was popular only in certain social circles, and had not seen much commercial suc­ cess in decades. But then things be­ gan to happen. The 1996 independent film '·Swingers" became a cult-classic and brought swing culture to a new, younger audience. Gap kicked off its popular television advertising campaign with a swing-dancing theme and the catchy accompany­ ing song, "Jump, Jive An' Wail" by AMANDA VOODRE/THE ITHACAN Louis Prima. THE ITHACA COLLEGE SWING DANCE CLUB gave dancing lessons to interested students in Emerson Suites during the fall semester. Swing dancing and the up-beat music that went along with it have experienced diminished popularity from their 1990s fad explosion.

Ithaca had l,Cveral chances to get hack mto the game but were unable to put together a run.

As bad as Ithaca\ performance wa.'> Tuesday. 1t was not much worse than Saturday's 73-55 Ios), at St. John Fisher. The team shot .288 from the field in that game, and was held to just 22 points in the first half on .273 shooting. With 55 points against the Cardinals, the South Hill squad tied its lowest pomt total of the season "Our last two games against Fisher and Elmira were very disappointing," Mullins said. "It docsn 't even look like the same team that beat Bmghamton a week ago." The Elmira loss came the day after an ovcrt11ne de­ feat to Alfred, 62-61, Friday night. "Those were tough ones to lose," Bamford said. "I think it's a culmination of us playing on the road l,O much. It takes its toll on us." Though he is not sure what has gone wrong in the last three games, Mullins said that the Bombers" tran­ sition game has not been as evident as II was earlier in the season, and its press-on defense has not been as effective. ''I'd like to think that the disappointing loss to Al­ fred did not impact us that dramatically," Mullms said. "But apparently maybe it did, because we've had two very lackluster efforts [since]." The next four games arc against league opponents. and all take place at home. "RIT has run away with the automatic NCAA bid, but we would still like to go to the ECAC [tournament]," Bamford said. "To do that we have to win a majonty of our games." .. Bamford said he looks forward to playing a rematch against RIT this Saturday. "RIT should be a great game," he said. "We haven't beaten them in the four years I've been here." Mullins said he thinks reaching the ECAC tourna­ ment, even though it is not as prestigious as the NCAA tournament, would still be a good achievement. "It's certainly something that we're shooting for," Mullins said. "It's something that we arc capable of at­ taining, but I don't know if it means enough to [the play­ MELISSA THORNLEYrrHE ITHACAN ers] right now."
