Isn't it amazing that no matter bow much people try to build Photo By Marc Fitzsimmons up I.C., some doubt still exsists over this school's reputation and its student body? But where does 'this need to compare I.C. with Cornell come from? No doubt some of it is right from I.C. students.

How about some of I.C. 's famous alumni? Everyone kno ··s about Jessica Savit­ ch, but how about the late Martin J. ~l1annon. He once was the Editor-In-Chief of THE ITHACAN, who rose to _t_he position of Editor of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL'S weekly Business Bulletin Column. Finally, J.C. students have nothing to be ashamed of just because their college is not an Ivy League School.
