Is OCR 100% accurate?

Leveraging Your Document Data It has been around for decades, and its most common use is to convert an image into searchable text. Obviously, the accuracy of the conversion is important, and most OCR software provides 98 to 99 percent accuracy , measured at the page level.

What are the limitations of OCR?

In summary, OCR technology offers significant benefits for converting text from images and scanned documents but faces limitations like poor image quality, difficulty in handling diverse fonts and languages, complex layouts, special characters, accuracy issues, formatting loss, and distinguishing text from images .

Why is my OCR not working properly?

Scan your documents with plenty of light . If the scanned image is too dark, OCR technology may be unable to differentiate between some characters. Be sure your scan is straight. If the document is skewed when scanned, the characters can become unrecognizable.

How to check OCR accuracy?

By quantifying metrics like CER and WER on standard test sets , OCR engines can be objectively evaluated and compared for accuracy performance. And improvements to the underlying recognition technology can be validated by reduced error rates.

How accurate is tesseract OCR?

Furthermore, the authors discuss the choice of an optimal OCR engine for the experiment. A comparison between Tesseract and Google Cloud Vision is also included: the dataset composed of 19 images revealed a 71.76% accuracy for the former and 89.03% accuracy for the latter .

How does OCR detect text?

The OCR software uses pattern-matching algorithms to compare text images, character by character, to its internal database . If the system matches the text word by word, it is called optical word recognition.

Since it was first introduced, OCR has evolved and it is used in almost every major industry now.

OCR is a process of transforming data. So the more data that you have to transform means that the process will take longer . If you have larger images, color images, or high-resolution images ("DPI" or dots per inch), then it will take longer to OCR than smaller, less dense images.

What are the best settings for OCR?

The recommended resolution for best scanning results for OCR accuracy is 300 dots per inch (dpi) . Brightness settings that are too high or too low can have negative effects on the accuracy of your image. A brightness of 50% is recommended. The straightness of the initial scan can affect OCR quality.

How accurate is Google lens OCR?

Google Cloud Platform's Vision OCR tool has the greatest text accuracy by 98.0% when the whole data set is tested . While all products perform above 99.2% with Category 1, where typed texts are included, the handwritten images in Category 2 and 3 create the real difference between the products.

How accurate is tesseract ocr?

Furthermore, the authors discuss the choice of an optimal OCR engine for the experiment. A comparison between Tesseract and Google Cloud Vision is also included: the dataset composed of 19 images revealed a 71.76% accuracy for the former and 89.03% accuracy for the latter .

Is OCR an output device True or false?

Note: Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Optical Mark Reading (OMR) are all input devices .

Is Tesseract still the best OCR?

While it is free, it is not always the best choice . Many OCR engines have long surpassed Tesseract image recognition quality with AI technologies and offer easier set-up and pre-trained file recognition.

Liability and Parking

Senate Discusses Future Changes
By SUNll PAUl
Mr. Warren Ashmead, o ne of
the University attorneys, and the
Uni versity Insurance Carrier
represented by Mr. Wafter Roher
discussed the liability of students
and student organizations with
the upcoming rise in the drinking
age at the Student Senate meeting
Tuesday night. They both explained how the University's insurance
policy does and does not cover a
student dispensing alcohol sane•
tioned by the University and individually.
Mr. Roher related to the Senate
how Colgate is looked on as a
desired liability and that some
universities can't even gel ade-quate liability insurance. ('As long
as you act prudenlly in the
dispensing of alcoholic beverages
w e should have no problem,"
stated Mr. Roher. He advised the
students to act responsibly and
not unnecessarily cause a "free
claim" because of irresponsible
behavior.
Concerning the University's insurance coverage Mr. Roher said,
" Any time you dispense alcohol
at a University sanctioned event
you are covered; however, if you
dispense alcohol individually you
should have your own policy." If
a student has parties and gives out

alcohol the student should have
his parents get an " umbrella
policy" that would cover him in
case of any accident. The Univer·
sity's insurance and/or " umbrella
Policy'' will only cover the liabili•
ty, or the monetary part of 1he
d ispute, i n an accident. If the inci dent i nvolves any break tn
criminal law, the student can be
arrested and charged including
the person or persons dispensing
the ,1lcohol.
Mr. Ashmead elaborated for the
students on the possible liability
and criminal action that would
result in a variety of hypothetical
cases. He stated, " Anyone who
knowi ngly serving anyone under
the age of 2 I is liable for that person's actions and can be taken to
court." He emphasized this fact
and mentioned that fraternities
who serve underage people in
their tap rooms are heading for
I rouble. If the fraterni1y is private·
ly owned then the fraternity officers and 1heir company will be
liable for the actions of the individual that drank there. The
university ~ned fraternities fall
under the university's policy.
If the intoxicated student gets
into an accident and kills SO·
meone or breaks any serious
criminal law, the penalties can be
very severe for the organization

and person servi ng the student
alcohol. In some cases, " Any per·
son 5erving drinks, if it is proven
that he served an04her person to
intoxication, can be sent to jail,"
stated Mr. Ashmead. The sponsoring organization could also be
held accountable in some instances.
The University has a very
cohesive and strong i nSurance
Policy covering itself and its
students in case of some ,mfortunate mishap. " Don't c-ause thi~
mis.hap to occur because of poor
judgement" was the bottom line
of the discussion.
In addition to this presentation
the Senate e-valuated ~ new Parki ng Proposal that would take effeet the next school year. The proposal states that freshmen.

Nicaragua Subverts Democr~cy

Windsor began his lectue with a

Central American countries have

former tyrannical dic1atorship was
overthrown, but the Sandinistas
who gained control soon made it
clear that no democratic govemment would be formed. The first
sign of this was the refusal o(
Costa Rican aid in favor of Cuban
aid to help rebuild the Nicaraguan
institutions which were in a
shambles.
Windsor also discussed how the

Advising Fair Meets Need ·
By GAYLE McGORRIAN
Confused and doubtful students
had their uneasy minds somewhat
relaxes last Tuesday night at the
first Advising Fai r in the Hall of
Presidents. From 7pm until 1()pm,
professors, honors students. and
counsetors answered questions
for the few students who attended.
Mary Palmer, Head Residen1 in
Stillman Hall and Coordinator for
the Fair, said it was " intended to
provide suppon to academic advisors as well as to students." As
Palmer made a sign for the Peace
Studies booth, she indicated the
types of questions a student attending the Fair mighl have. The
questions could cOncem Spring
scheduling, requirements for majors, off-campus slUdy groups,
~areer planning, etc. According to
Palmer, the Fair was meant for
any student, however mostly
freshmen and sophom*ores attended. If it proves successful, iJ
may become a semesteriy event.
Sally Campbell. Dean o(
Freshmen, said, ''I was concerned
about first year students preparing
1heir Spring course schedules and
receiving advice." When the idea
for the Fair came up at an RA lunche0n about a month ago, the
two women immediately acted
upon it with much s.uppart from
the facuhy. They con1acted
depanment heads through Dean
Trout and requested a faculty

representative and an honors student from each department or
program to attend the Fair.
Dean Campbell mentioned
another reason for the Advising
F.iir: to minimize the number of
students wanting to drop/add
once the semester begins. By
answering questions concerning
courses beforehand. Dean campbell sees disillusionment about
certain courses decreasing.
Teri Delgado, an RA in East
Stillman (the location of the
Dewey-Newman Center. one
sponsor of the Fair), had her own
thoughts concerning the Fair's
purpose. "This is an opportunity
for students to talk to other
students, get a different kind of insight than just the professors',
although 1he professoB' inslghis
are v,ery helpful and valuable."
There was a general confusion
among those students queslioned
concerning requirements as e.xplained by the Handbook.
Sophom*ore Krista Hagenah said,
. "II (the Fair) is definitely a good
idea because I didn't undestand
what it said in the catalog." Aip
Wiehl, also a sophom*ore, was
"surprised at the language requirement for international relations." Freshmen David Schwartz

Group Sponsors Nuclear
Awareness Film And Vigil
By SCOTT KERR
This Sunday evening marks 1he
beginning of an effort to increase
the social awareness on the campus concerning nuclear arms. The
Three Minutes 'Til Midnight
organization is sponsoring some.
events this week in accordance
with the approaching Geneva
summit talks.
The first o( these events will be
the showing of the film, Threads
in 209 Lathrop at 7:30 p.m. on
Sunday. This British Broadcasting
Company produccion depicts lhe
effect of as nuclear war on British
society. It also focuses on what
the survivors will face following a
nuclear holocaust and the probability of a second generation.
The second stage of this
schedule includes a faculty teachin. Although the list of speakers
has yel 10 be disclosed, Lynne
Woehrle of Three M inutes 'Til
Midnight, did comment on the
proposed 1opics. The session intends to provide as much information as possible about the current
nuclear arms negotiations in
Geneva. In addition, there will
also be a brief analysis of the situation of balance of nuclear strength

between the United States and
the Soviel union.
All these events, however, lead
up to the p,articipation in a nationwide candle light vigil. According
to Woehrte, this idea was borrow·
ed from the Committee For A
Sane Nuclear Policy (S!\NE). The
proceedings begin at 6:30 p.m.
on the steps of the Chapel. From
there the group will walk
downtown and then return to
Bunche House, stopping at certain points to allow for personal
readings. These readings offer an
opportunity for anyone to present
a selection of poetry, ~ad their
works, or juSI express their own
feelings corlreming the nuclear
arms dilemma. Another member
of Three Minutes 'Til Midnight
said, ''The vigil serves as a reflection of what people are trying to
do as a community for peace."
Woehrle also mentioned 1hat the
vigil is for everyone and thar all
are welcome to participate. She
hopes that 1his symbolic gesture
along with the other events will
promote a feeling of "personal
sharing
and
community
building."

HAMILTON~- Martha Olcott, chairman of Colgate University's
political science department, has been awarded a $29,903 grant

for a research project titled u1slam and Nationalism."
Olcott, who teaches courses in Middle Ea.st politics and the
Soviet UntOn, will focus her research on how leading Soviet
orientalists undersiand the threat which Islam poses to political
stability in the Middle East and South Asia.
She is basing her research on materials gath~red from libraries
in the United States and the U.S.S.R. and from interviews already
conducted in the U.S.S.R. and planned for another visit there in
1986. Olcott has conducted several Colgate study programs in
Russia.
"At the conclusion of my project," notes Olcott, " we will be in
a position to better assess 1he quality of unclassified analysjs the
policy analysts and strategists are receiving, and to speculate on
the potential impact of the literature on Islam and na1ionalism on

gram leg 103 when Evans was a member of the shipboard
scietific party of the drilling vessel Joides Resolution.
The Galicia Margin is a continental margin which was rifted
about 135 million years ago during the opening of the Atlantic
Ocean, and was separated from Newfoundland. The basem*nt
rocks which were recovered include both rhyolite (an igneous
rock typically found on continents) and peridotite (a rock
possibly from the mantle). The relationship of these rocks with
the rifted margin and the continental-oceanic crustal transition,
as yet unknown, is the subject of Evans' study.
Evans will gather geochemical and petrographic data on these
rocks and will compare the Galicia Margin perid01i1es with other
North Atlantic peridotites. ''The existence of these upper mantle
rocks at the continental-oceanic transition is unusual and problematical," says Evans. " How did they get there? Hopefully, the
compositional and Sluctural data on these rocks will lend insight
into the rifting process."

which include-s SO days spent in
the classroom and SO days in the
ports of various developed and
developing countries.

While in these countries,
students gain the field ex•
pe,iences that enhance their shipboard learning. By visiting
museums. universities, and attending performances of music,
dance, and drama, the students
gain further insight into the
cultures of the various countries.
With additional tuition, students
can also participate in trips to
places of historical impartance
and cultural interest. However
the majority of travelling is done
by the students alone, or in a
small group.
The program is run on a ship for
a variety of reasons. The slowness
of a ship as compared to other
forms of transportation is ideal for
learning, in that the time between
ports is a perfect amount of
classroom time. The classes that

The film, Lay My Burden Down
(1 932) by Jack Willis, was shown

on November 13 in the Cultural

degree of racial discrimination
and inequality still present in the
Oe,ep South. especially among
black sharecroppers and tenant
farmers.
Twenty years after 1he Civil
Rights march from Selma to Mon·
tgomery, Alabama,, the film shows
that the schools are only slightly
integrated; there are no black
policemen, school administrators
or public officials; " Private Clubs"

Halley's Comet has been steadi·
ly brightening as it approaches the
sun. Last Friday, the comet was
bright enough to be easily seen
with binoculars by Colgate
ascronomers. This weekend will
be a good time to look for the
comet. It will be located just a few
degrees from a prominent group
of stars- The Pleiades. Look for a
small "dipper shaped" group of
stars (about the angular size of the
full moon) in the low Eastern sky
early in the evening. The comet
will be within a binocular's field
of view distance from the
Pleiades. The comet will appear
as a "fuz.zy" extended (distinctly
non-stellar) object.
The next time to view the comet (without a bright moon in the
sky) will be in early December.
Observatory open house hours for
this period will be announced at a
la1er date.

Science And The Arms Race
By WENDY KNUDSEN
On, Monday November 11th,
Professor of physics Pe1er Stein
spoke on "Science and the Arms
Race." Stein received his degree
from MIT and is currently on
tenure at Cornell University. He

lectures 10 students because he is
"worried about how science im-

pacts society."
Professor Stein recounted how

he first became involved with
nuclear weapons as a boy of 13
when he heard that the United
Slates had exploded a bomb that
"gave us the ability to make

"system to protect us," Stein continues. ''The freeze movement
has portrayed upowerful
symbols" of flowers and children
being destroyed by the arms race.
Stein believes " these Powerful
symhols have been taken from us
wilh these symbols being shown

to be protected by Star Wars." He
feels "we are now forced 10 argue
a position that seems absurd."
Three major points characterize
the Position of "the other side,"
Stein said. First they argue that

professor and never had to make

the transition to 1he military
sphere." In his early years of
research Stein felt a great sense of
excitment when working with
physicists who had worked at Los
Alamos. At the time " I didn't
think much about the arms race; I
knew it could mean the end of the
world but I also knew what 10
and 10 is, and it's no big deal."
His wife became involved in a
nuclear freeze event and it was
over a dinner conversation 5
years ago that he "flipped." Stein
decided that "the arms race was
crazy." " I know I'm not saving
the world," Stein said, by making
lectures. When people ask if they
can do anything about the arms
race the apparent answer is "no."
"On the 01her hand if no one gets
·involved nothing will happen and
the result is 1he end of the world."
Stein focused on why he
believes the plan for Star Wars is

the Soviets can destroy the United
States and therefore we refuse to
protect ourselves." Secondly, the
other side says, "let's investigate
to see if we can do it." And the
anti-nuke movement says "it
won'I work." Thirdly, proponents
of SDI argue "What's the harm in
trying" and "we say 'No, don't
try' so therefore we don't want to
defend the country."
''Our arguments," says Stein
"sound crazy and unreasonable"
in this context. ''They are harder
views," he continued, "to defend
than flowers and children." Stein
believes in MAD (mutually
assured destruction); the idea
"that we couldn't threaten to use
nuclear weapons anymore when
the Soviets build them."

Stein believes, "because there is

"we're not dealing with dummies

Stein said that the Star Wars
system, which is "very delicate
and vulnerable." will have the
ability to destroy thing.s on the
ground, based on a very complicated and precise timing
m~r.hanism." With all their
technolog1, !he Soviet Union can
figure out how to destroy it and
with no time pressures. This,
coupled with the "idea that to de
fend something in the sky is easier
than on earth," is "crazy and one
of SOi's essential weaknesses"
says S1ein.
"A lot is Josi" in respQnse to the
argument "what's the harm in try·
ing," Stein says. The whole
history of the arms race shows the
fallacy of the las1 move, Stein continues, "the lack of imagining
what the other side will do." The
countermoves of SDI "will leave
us less secure today," Stein con·
eluded.
First, said Stein, the Soviets will
woric on an anti.SOI system. "The
heavens will be filled with people
aiming weapons at each other,"
he s.aid, "and if you think the

the world is uncertain when you
know exactly where they are,
Stein emphasized "imagine how
it will be when we have no idea
where the weapons are."
The essential analysis of the past
10 years of the arms race "shows
that the strategic balance hasn't
changed much," Stein observed.
However, he added, Star Wars
"will cause another escalation in
the arms race." S1ein asked what
can scientists do? For those work
ing on military weapons, Stein admitted, " it is an extremely difficult
choice and it is one thing for me
to talk against Star Wars because
I'm not personally involved working on it." Stein then offered two
solutions. "large parts of 1he
scientific community say there are
no technical solutions," he ventured, " and we must find 01her
solutions." A second approach
Stein suggested might depend on
large number of scientists saying
" I'm just n01 going to do that
anymore, I've seen what happen·
ed and it doesn'l work."
If enough scientists "see the ii!'·

continue their education through

They remain intimidated by the
while men who have the power
of land ownership without realizing the collective labor power
1hey have. The film also shows
how they are unable to protest
their position without this collective power that makes unions so
effective. When blacks do work
for civil rights and higher pay,
they lose their land. Racial
discrimination is so deeply ingrained in the social system that
the white people do sincerely
believe they are treating the
blacks well.
The film depiclS how hope for
these people is present in their
use of mu1ic and religion to ease
their burden. "It takes faith," Mrs.
Johnson, a poor tenant farmer's
wife said . Prayer is always present
and a view of what they'd like the
future to be.
Most blacks are working to
achieve their future through
voting, One-half million blacks
were registered 10 vote and a third
party, the Black Panrhers, whose
slo~n. Black Power, was formed
to contest the political "discrepancies. Eighty percen1 of the area
was black, yet they were still ruled by the whites. The Reagan Administration is now prosecuting
the people who regisrered the
black voters by accusing them of
telling the blacks how to vote.
However, as Willis noted in the
film, what these black farmers
need is federal policing of the
distributiqn of funds, creation of
n~w jobs and retraining, and a
proper education. Only then will
the cycle of poverty be broken.

COMMENTARY
Bayerlain :
Unfounded Cabal
By MICHAEL A. WOLFF
The November 8 editipn of The Colgate
News printed a commentary by F.
Bayertain criticizing the value of last

Friday's lecture by Geraldine Ferraro. His
criticism was based upon his assumption
that any information or opinion fronYMs.
Ferraro could have no real worth in that
she represented the sensationalisl machinations of an ab;e<1 liberal party. For those
who attended the lec1Ure the shallowness
of this criticism is obvious, but for 1he sake
of Mr. Bayerlain and whoever might have
agreed with him, a responding commen~

1ary seems necessary.
Mr. Bayerlain's criticism centers around
two general points: that Ms. Ferraro is not a
qualified politician and. received the
nomirlation (or Vice-President for "exterior
and exlfaneous" (all quotes are from Mr.
Bayerlain's article) reasons; that Walter
Mondale chose Ms. Ferraro for purely sensationalist rea.sons. On the first Point Mr.
Bayerlain claims that Ms. Ferraro, during
the 1984 campaign, had no unusual
pali'tical qualities of her own and thus those
qualities that actually gained her nomina1ion-1hat she was a woman, attractive, witty, and sassy- are poor criteria for such an
impQnant office. Of course such criteria by
themselves are poor, but the applica1ion of
them in 1his sense is inexact. The first consideration is just exactly what is necessary
to raise a politician "above the common
mass of politicians". President Reagan was
only a governor and many thought this in·
sufficient for the presidency, and he now
seems to have proven that assumption
wrong. Ms. Ferraro was a regular member
of the House of Representatives, served on
the House Budget Committee, and was involved in creating the Democratic platform
for the 1984 election. Certainly this
demonstrates some national political experience unusual from what is common.
And political experience alone, no matter
the extent, is no1 sufficient in a national
leader.
Mr. Bayerlain points out Ms. Ferraro's attractiveness, wit, and "sassiness", but his
criticism here is lost. No one can dispute
the importance, although relatively minor,
of appearance in the Television Age; it has
become an unfortunate and mostly sup,,
plementary aspect of political life. But there
must be substance behind such a
superfluous consideration. That leaves witty and sassy. One of President Reagan's
greatest qua lilies is his wittiness and most of
the great Politicians of the past have .
displayed ·a similar quality. Wit is an integral part of the good Politician's
character. What "sassy" means is uncle.ar.
Supposedly it refers to boldness and the aggressive quality of breaking conventions to
attack or sl.ate ;:1 point. In this sense it means
sha.rp and aggressive and such qualities are
certainly true of Ms. Ferraro's character.
This is a good rather than bad quality in a
political candidate, and President Reagan is

Mr. Bayerlain also criticizes nominations
made on the basis of sex alone and there is
cenainly no argument on 1his point. But in
light of the above, Mr. Sayerlain's application of such sexism 10 Mr, Mondale's con.
stderation seems inaccurate. On what information {other than opinion and hearsay)
does Mr. Bayerlain base his belief that " the
most important consideration of Waller
Mondale" was Ms. Ferraro's sex? lns1ead of
asserting that Ms. Ferraro was selecced
"because she was a woman" perhaps it is
more appropriate, and more significant, to
assert that she was selected regardless of
the fact that she was a woman. Such is also
supported by Ms. Ferraro's many
statements on a variety of issues, some of
which were made at Friday's lecture.
Mr. Bayerlain's second poin1 criticiz;es
.the sensationalism involved in Mr. Mondale's choice of running-mate. That Ms.
Ferraro was a politician of considerable
talent (as stated above) chosen from a large
pool of talented politicians of various
"classes" (women and men, blacks and
whites, nonherners and southerners, etc.)
contradicts this point. The character of the
Mondale campaign in general is another
contradiction. Despite opinion pclls attacking the Democratic platform, Mr. Mondale
stuck 10 what he believed was right. Indeed
in the national debate ~e even went so far
as to be honest and state that taxes would
have to be raised to alleviate the budget
deficit. If Mr. Bayerlain wished to equate
honesty and adherence to principles wilh
sensationalism he is woefully misinformed.
If, then, Mr. Mondale showed no sensa·
tionalisl qualities in his campaign in other
aspects it seems illogical to describe the
one act of the Ferraro nomination as sensation list. Mr. Bayerlain has confused his
terms. Sensationalism seeks to create sensation but sensation does noc arise solely
from sensationalist motives. The Ferraro
nomination was certainly sensational, as
was th~ adoption of the Bill of Rights, 1he
abolition of slavery, Civil Rights legislation,
and the Jackson presidential campaign. But ,
just because these acts caused a sensation
does no.!..mean that they were the sensationalfsl machinations of their originators.
By this 1hen, Mr. Bayertain's arguments
seem to fall apan. Ms. Ferraro is cenainly
an experienced politician and displayS

Beyond the Delivery
By TOM FINE
So we've seen a piece of history.
Geraldine Ferraro, the first women 10 be
nominated by a major party for V,ce Presi·
dent, has spoken at The 'Gate: Although
Mrs. Zacarro (Mrs. denotes a married
name, proper syntax deno1es Ms. Ferraro)
was perhaps the best speaker to grace the
Chapel this year, one must not let her
delivery interfere with an accurate assess.ment of her messa8e, for Ms. Ferraro
seems, at least to chis writer, to be laden
with contradictions.
For instance, a close examination of her
stance on US-USSR relations reveals (how it
is contradictory) to her stance on terrorism.
On the other hand, Ms. Ferraro urges
restraint in dealing with the Soviets, a "soft
glove" approach. Ye1 on the ocher hand
she urges "less tough talk and more
action" with regard 10 terrorists. This is a
blatant contradiction because a very effective way to fight terrorism would be to put
pressure on· the Soviets and their
mideastern clients, Syria and Libya. It has
long been known that Syrian and Libyan
soldiers aid and train leftist terrorists in
camps within those countries. A simple
look at tonight's news will show how
almost any scene of Beirut demonstrates
the proliferation of Soviet arms (most

......
-...;:_·

nociceably Ak-47 rifles, mainstay to Soviet
combat lroops), presumably supplied by
Russia via Syria or Libya.
And what about Central America. The ·
Soviets, again through client states, namely
Cuba and Nicaragua continue to supply
and train communist "revolutionaries" in
El Salvador. These "rebels" demonstrate,
through their repeated slayings of civilians
and general lawlessness, that they are no
better than an Amal militiaman.
This is not to insinuate that the terroriSI
problem is that easy. for it is apparent that
the Soviets have their own problems in that
area. But a bold saan would be' to put
pressure on the Soviets to end their role in
destabilizing the Mideast and Central
America. Maybre Henry Kissinger's linkage
(tying a broad range of issues together in
negotiations and concessions) wasn't a bad
idea after all.
Ms. Ferraro also contradicts herself on
the domestic front. She urges the simplistic
solution to fighting the deficit of "cutting
parts and not whole programs." She favors
massive defense cuts for a large savings. Yet
how does one fight terrorism or even have
a reasonable position from which to
negotiate with a weak defense. Cutting
weapons projects midway would lead to
massive unemployment; a savings in
defense, as payout in welfare.
Ferraro also urges pulling more monies
to education, Yet the role of the federal
government in education is, except with
regard to private ins1itutions, largely redundant. Educa1ion is a state and local expense
and should remain that way. Slates and
localities know best how to administer
public education and by and large do so
very well. The only re.1lly objectionable
step taken by Reagan has ~n. limiting
federal college tuition loans. Yet, according
to The New York Times, private banks are
.c:aking up the slack along with college
scholarships. It remains dubious if anyone
really has been "denied" oppartunities
formerly available.
Ms. Ferraro's contradictions are directly
related to why the Democrats continue to
have problems winning elections. Their
platform simply fails to stand up to close
scrutiny. Afso, when they are not advocating unworkable •utopian solutions
{"so far left that they've left America") to
our current problems, they continue 10 advocate basically the same old wasteful big
government that caused many of our cur•
rent fiscal problems anyway. For Ferraro (or
any Democrat) to win elections, New York
senate included, she muSI change her IUne.
She mu~ stop complaining about Reagan
and come up with a reasonable (i.e., feasible) alternative.

Ferraro's
Worth

Proposal

By JEFFREY A. GOODMAN

A waste of time... lf you did not atiend last
Friday's lecture by Geraldine Ferraro
because of its "unimpC>rtance" as Bayerlain
contested, you did indeed waste your time.
I heard no complaints that controversial
socialist MK:hael Manley's lecture was a
waste of time, but when a prominent
American politician, and one of such
historical importance, comes to share her
insights with Colgate, it is called a waste of
time. If you saw how many people crowded into the chapel laSI Friday, and how
many more were turned away from lack of
place 10 sit, stand, or hang, you realize the
idiocy of Mr. Bayerlain's statement.
Regardless of whether you voted for or

against her, Ms. Ferraro's lecture was well
worth the time spen1.
Ms. Ferraro approached many issues,
gave specific examples of how problems
such as the national debt, South African
apartheid, and international terrorism

should be dealt with, and showed why she
was legitimately qualified to be vicepresident o f the United States. During the
campaign she had to face an unrelenting
and often insulting media, and she
weathered it keeping her integrity, respect,
and withoul resorting to excuses and accusations as Mr. Reagan and his

COLGATE UNIV!
cheerleader, George, often do.
Whether you like her or agree with her is
actually unimportant, bu1 when a person of
her importance visits Colgate, we must be
appreciative. Bringing speakers of varied
viewpoints to share experiences w ith us is a
vital part of a liberal arts education, which
we here at Colgate stand for. I applaud the
College Democrats, not only because I am
a member, but for bringing a speaker of
such national prominence and I invite the
College Republicans as well as any ocher
group to do the same. F. Bayerlain can
keep repeating Reagan's rhetoric, but most
of Colgate did not think Ferraro's lea:ure
was a waste of lime.

contlnuetlJ!(Jmpag~8
,>eace, any interested party should be able
to apply 10 the United Nations for a "mini.
triad." The vote would, of course, have to
be apolitical and based solely on the individual merits and degree of responsibili1y
of the group in question. (like most other
UN VOie<).
Now that all political and economic
issues have been resolved (hopefully with a
minimum of environmental damage) there
remain few obstacles to Utopta. Doubtless
other organizations would find the possession of nuclear weapons to be to their advantage. Religious conformity would be
easy to enforce. Would an American synod ·
of Roman Catholic- Bishops be likely to endorse abortion in certain circ*mstances
against the Pope's wishes if His Holiness
had a button to pusM Labor unions,
organizations such as the NRA, POUSA and
Ukranian nationalists could all surely put
nuclear technology to work for them
{assuming of course, UN approval).
So here you have a workable system of
Utopia based on the tested, time honored
principle of deterrence. Nuc&ear disarmament is a pipe-dream of intellectuals that is
neither practical nor desirable, especially in
light of our "Modest Proposal." Gorbachev
and Reagan should give up their pretenses
of discussing disarmament and move onto
the more sensible and peace-oriented goal
of nuclear proliferation.

P.0.Q. Bach doesn't get much respect.
Not even from Professor Pe1er Se:hickele,
sole discoverer and performer of the
erstwhile musical failure's works.
S(hickele will lead the merry musical
mayhem when the SyraCu.se Symphony at·
tempcs to play P.O.Q.'s "works" with a
straight face at 8:00 pm Saturday,
November 16 at the Landmark Theater.
The program will consist mainly of works
by P.O.Q. Bach who is, according to
Se:hickele, "the last but least progeny of J.S.
Bach-." Some works to be included are the
ever disasterous "Hindenburg Concerto,"
"The Echo Sonata for Two Unfriendly
Groups of Instruments," and " The Concerto for Bassoon versus Orchestra." Calvin
Custer conducts.
Schickele's pe,formance is hardly
somber. Musical parody, sight gags and ~d
puns abound. He is a superb parodist,
spoofing 1he classics and the concert.going
expe,ience itself.
For P.O.Q.'s works, Schickele has used
everything from antique auto horns to co*ke
bonles in addition to traditional orchestral
accompaniment. According to one
Syracuse reviewer, -Schickele kept 1he audience "in stitches endlessly" and showed
"an enormous wealth of creativity and
talent for narration."
Schickele claims to have discovered
P.O.Q.'s works in garbage cans, at the bot·
tom of bird cages and in percolator
strainers. He has made a career of
"discovering'' and presenting countless
dismal P.O.Q. works. Yet behind this
staunch supporter of "history's most

just ifiably neglected compcser" lies a
serious and accomplished musician.
Peter Schickele was born in Ames, Iowa
in 193S. He studted piano and bassoon in
high school and la1er attended Swarthmore
College as a music major. He completed
his graduate wOfk at the juilliard School of
Music. After receiving his Master's Degree,
Schickele spent the next few years teaching
at the Aspen School of Music in Los
Angeles, at Swarthmore and at the extension SChool of Juilliard.
Schickele has written music (or or·

and voice. He has performed with many
major symphonies including those of
Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Lon·

l=-loodoo ·Gurus
By ERIC KIRSCHNER
Now 1hat Men al Work and Splil Enz
have been righ1fully relegated 10 1he role of

rock and roll footno1es, all eyes watching
the Australian music Kene will be watching Hoodoo Gurus (sorry, guys, Rick Springfield jusl doesn't counl).

Mars Needs Cuitall is the second album
from Gurus, coming on the heels of their
catchy debut. Stonage Romeos. Mars Needs
Cuitars will probably also cement Hoodoo
Gurus' reputation as one of the most promising progressive bands to emerge in recent memory.
If there is one word to accurately
describe the sound on Cuirars, it is "fun."
There's a good deal of pop, blues galore,
and some good 'ole fashioned rock and
roll, but one senses that the Hoodoo Gurus
are wearing Cheshire smiles throughout the
album.

The work opens with the steady, driving
" Bittersweet." This is the album's first
single and rightfully so; it'll be getting considerable college airplay. "Poison Pen'' introduces a dose of blues into the Gurus
sound and works well enough. The side's
final cut, ''like Wow-Wipeout" is obviously a satire on the early sixties surf music.
The harmonies, guitar riffs, and ridiculous
lyrics are all there. So are the cheshire
smiles.
The second side has the Gurus attempting to broaden their sound. While the first
side concentrated on blues and driving
guitar riffs, country and more importantly,
pop, is introduced on the flip side.
Stringing together a catchy pop tune is
ultimately the band's major weakness.
" Show Some Emotion" is structurally as
good a pop tune as one will find. Unfortunately, the final product is average. For
what it's worth, these guys just don't ap,
pear to be comfortable writing tight pop
tunes. Whether due to inexperience, a
weak production, or simply lack of
discipline (there's little fun in being
disciplined), Hoodoo Gurus just don't enjoy their PoP numbers. lt'j a shame; they
certainly have the ability to write catchy,
accessible tunes.
"The Other Side of Paradise" is the other
major pop song that just doesn't quite
work. It suffers from all the faults and
possesses all the potential of "Show Some
Emotion."
Despite the above criticisms, Mars Needs
Guitars is an album well worth listening to.
Hoodoo Gurus possess solid musicianship,
diverse and atways strong songwriting ability, and certainly a knack for loosening up
and enjoying their "work.''
Where faults can be found, they are not
in the input o( the band, but rather i n the
unfulfilled potential of their work. Look for
bigg~r and better things from Hoodoo
Gurus. In the meantime, Mars Needs
Guitars is a fitting flagship for Aussie music
(sorry, Rick Springfield still doesn't count).

Red Raiders In A Must Win Situation Versus Rutgers

~

Kenny Camble

By CLIFF SIRLIN
The time has come for 1he Colgate Red Raiders to prove once
and for all that they are indeed a
playoff caliber ball club. Facing a
must win situation this coming
Saturday, in New Brunswick,
New Jersey, the Red Raiders have
the prefect opportunity to do just
this. The Red Raiders ,will be fac·
ing the traditionally strong Rutgers

University which, at 1-7-1, is hav-

ing a season which many are calling the most disappointing in the
schools history. With the Red
Raider's backs up againSI the wall
we will see whether or not this
1eam has the character to carry it
into poSI season play.
They say a tie is like kissing your
sister on the cheek, but this past
weekends 27-27 tie agains1 the

University of Pennsylvania was
much worse. It was a game in

which the Red Raiders generated
enough offense to score a1 least
45 points (502 total yards) but
costly mistakes took their toll. Losing the ball twice within Penn's
7-yard line and having two
touchdowns called back due to
penalties provided the deciding
factors in the game. As it said, we
knocked on Penn's door many
times but we were unable to get
inside. Hopefully, we'll be able to
get inside against Rutgers!
Facing the Division 1-A Scarlet
Knights for the 38th time, the
series stands at 22· 15 in favor of
Rutgers; the Colgate Red Raiders
will be looking to improve their
national ranking of seven1een and
chalk up their seventh victory.

say t_he injuries caused by syn1he1ic gra55 usually are superficial.
They say they'll need more data
before they abandon the artificial
surfaces and return to grass.
NCAA offi~ials also say not
enough data have been collected
to justify a movement back to
grass, and note many of the injuries sustained on artificial turf
may be minor. "You have more
abrasions on an artificial surface,"
says Assistant Athletic Director
Bill Goldring of Indiana State
University, where football is
played on a synthetic surface.
There does not seem to be any
evidence, however, of more
serious injuries on such fields, he
adds. While the NCAA study did
not differentiate be1ween serious
and minor injuries, it did show
knee injuries occur about 50 percenl more often on synthetic sur•
faces.

Other athletic directors seem to
agree with Goldring that, until
there's more evidence the artificial fields cause more injuries,
they won't go· back 10 natural
grass fields. Blaming artificial surfaces for increased injuries is "a
common opinion, but it's not proven, not scientifically," says
Clarence Underwood, commis-,
sioner of the Big 10 Conference
men's programs. " There ha·1en't
been enough serious injuries to

they feel faster on it," notes Mui·
doon.
Some college officials are adamant. "We'll never switch.
Nobody has ever talked about it,"
states Dave Baker, sports information director for Pennsylvania
State University, which celebrates
its 100th football anniversary next
fall. "Our coaches and trainers
think it (grass) is safer," Baker
assens. Baker points out,
however, that Penn Slate is for.

The Fine Points Young But
By TOM FINE
For the last two weeks, this space has been used to examine

Optimistic

some local sports issues. This week, a return to the na1ional scene

will be anemf)ted. In writing about the Red Raiders I find I have
ignored NFL a"ion. This seems 10 be a strange se~son indeed.
~hat happened to the Forty-Niners? Will the Rams continue 10

slide? How about those Jets? And, to get to the point, how about
the Chi'-agO Bears?
At 1he beginning of t~e se3;son, who would have thought the

Bf:ars would be 10-0 w1th a victory against the surging Cowboys
1h1s weekend as a strong possibility? Gran1ed. the Bears under
Mike Oitka ~re a changed team. They are more aggressive. faster,
more precise, and with the addition of William ''The
Refrigerator'' Perry, bigger.
Another question that comes to mind is who would have
figured on the 'Fridge this season. The 6'2", 306 pound
behemoth lumbered . into camp weighing a scale-tipping 330
pounds! The defenswe coaches dismissed the team's &iant
number one draft choice as "a waste." Nonetheless, Perry, a
Clemson grad from rural Alabama, was de4ermined to prove his
meule. D itka a»igned him a nutritionist who put him on a suict
diet and exercise program. Perry must slay under 312 pounds to
ful~II the ,weight requirement of his contract. Ahhough this remains a difficult task (Perry has been known to drink a case and a
half of beer unassisted), as he matures the 'fridge makes progress.
Perry has also made considerable progress on the field. From
the rookie underdog with whom the coaches wouldn't even
work, 'fridge has become a national phenomenon. He's ver+
sa1ile. mainly because of his size and impressive strength, He has
p layed every posilion from defensive tackle to fullback. He has
carried the ball into the endzone. He has caught a pass for a
touchdown. He has recorded a sack. But his main offensi-ve task
,~mains ~!earing a hole for W~lter Payton in short yardage situations. a 10b he performs admirably, often tossing three or four
defenders out of the way in the process.
The 'Fridge isn't the onty thing Bears fans have to cheer about.
Quart~rba_c~ Jim McMahon is having a fan1aS1ic season, despite a
recumng lflJ~ry. Walter ·:sweetness" Payton is stacking up yardage and points scored hke cord wood. If he continues at this
pace, and there is nothing to indicate otherwise, he will likely
break most NFL offense records before retiring.
Payton is ano1her versatile playef. He been known to throw a
pass or two on Sfleak playS. He seems to be as good a receiver as
carrier. His blocking is perhaps the best in the NFL His most impressive attribute remains his ability to read oppasing defenses,
carefully picking a hairline path through frustrated d-backs.
The Bear's season remains tough, with this week's Dallas

will begin the fall portion of its
season tomorrow with a home
match against Vassar College. The
match will begin at 1:00 at the
squash courts in Huntington
Gymnasium. This year's team is
quite young due 10 the loss of
several sentOrs from ·iast season's
team, and in fact, more than half
of the playing members are
"rookies." The team is headed by
two freshmen in the Number 1
and 2 SJ)OIS, Sean O'Riordan and
John Harris. The next four spots
are occupied by relUrning
veterans from last year: junior
Paul Reilly , sophom*ore Andy
Sheldon, junior and team captain
Mike Adams, and senior Sven
Fjermedal.The last four positions
are held by sophom*ores Eric
Slone, Jeff Ballard, Todd La™'"·
and Jake Brown.
Despite 1heir overall youth, the
team members will attempt to im·
prove on the disappointing 5.7
record posted by last year's club,
a group which seemed to lack 1he
unily and dedication that is essential to a SUCCe5$ful season.
HighHgh1ing 1he fall portion of
Colgate's schedule, is the
Williams Tournament during the
weekend of December 6+8. This
1ournament, held at Williams College, invotves a tOtal of eight
schools. After breaking for the
holidays and for January session
the club will play eight more mat+
ches during February, including
an alumni match during the Silver
Puck Weekend. The team is hoping for a successful season and
would appreciate your support at
home matches.

Uneducated Guesses

New Orleans (plus 8) at C reen Bay

Well. due 10 a few major sur·
prises last week (Tampa Bay and
Buffalo shutting out their op·
,x,nents) and a couple of blown
leads (1he Rams and the Vikings)
my record has a very mediocre
7-7. Of course with some of the
weeks I've had, I won't complain
too much! My season record now
stands al S6-50-3 as 1he NFL rolls
in10 week eleven.

QB Lynn Dickey came off the
bench last week in relief of Jim
Zorn with the pack trailing the
Vikings 17-6. When the dust
cleared, Dickey had compleled
nine of eleven passes and Green
Bay had its second win over Minnesota this year, 27·17. The pack
at 4-6 is a streaky team, as usual.
The Saints have now lost five in a
row and at 3-7 are sinking into the
mire in the NFC west. Still, Sum

Coming off that tough last minute
loss to Miami. New York should
be reeling. Slill, Tampa Say keeps
most games fairly close. Take the
Bucs plus the 91/J .

Chicago (pick 'em) at Dallas

Cincinatti (plus 6) at LA Raiders

The game o( lhe day! Bolh
teams have superior defenses. Of.
fensively, though Dallas is more
than sufficienl, Chicago has been
pure dynamite this season. It
should be a fantastic game. I'll go
with the undefeated Bears to win
and set the crazy NFC East into
even more confusion.

Though only 5-S. 1he Bengals
(who I've been p icking all season)
have justified my faith and are tied
for first place. The Raiders have
lost two in a row. It may be close,
but I'll have to break tradition and
take LA (I'll be sorry) give the six

What a spread! The (5-5) 49ers
shouldn't
take any game for

have lost six in a row with no

Indianapolis
M iami suddenly breathes new
life thanks to Mark Duper's spectacular return to the Dolphin line

Miami needs this one bad. Take
1he Dolphins.

LA Rams (minus 6) Atlanta
At this poinl, Atlanta based
Falcons couldn't beat 1he Falcons
from the Air Force! The Rams are
on the rebound and need to get

give the six.
San Diego (plus 4½) at Denver
All of a sudden, the Chargers
are 5-5 and in play-off conten1t0n.

Hockey To Face First Real Competition
By ERIC STONE
The Colg.-.1e Red Raiders men's

hockey team continued on their

sea.son-opening rampage with a
10-0 victory over a hapless
Brockpcrl State team. Again,
senior Gerard Waslen led the way
in the scoring department, reco,.

ding four goals and three assists.
The seven points tied a Colgate
record for most points in one

game.

Freshman

defenseman

Mike Bishop added two goals and

singles were recorded by Doug
Davis, Rejean Boivin. Paul
Jenkins, and Scott Young. Not to
be overlooked are the playmaking

exploits of sophom*ore Brad
Martel, who picked up five assists
while filling in for the injured
Scon ReS1on.
Freshman Wayne Cowley went
the dis1ance in goal for the Red

Raiders and recorded a shutout in
his first college start. Coach Terry
Slater commented, "Brockport

only had 13 shots, but four or five
of them were qualily chances and
Wayne looked sharp on those."
Slater was also pleased with the
play of his special teams thus far.

The Red Raiders thoroughly

Mann's Stand

By JO H N MAN N

A week ago, Pelle Lindbergh
couldn't have been happier. His
r ecord as goalie for the
Philadelphia Flyers was 6·2, and
the Flyers were the best team in
the NHL at I 2-2. He was engaged
to be married, and his mother was
even visiting from Sweden. To.
day, Pelle Lindbergh is dead at
age 26. He wasn't killed in a freak
accident or through another per.
son's negJigence. Lindbergh got
drunk and slammed his car into a
concrete wall. No sermons on the
dangers of drunk driving are
necessary. The tragic death of a
rising young star is a much

stronger message than anyone
could ever put into words.
The question is why would a
young athlete with everything going for him take such a risk? last
year he won the Vezina Trophy as
the league's best goaltender and
played spectacularly in leading
the Ayer's to the Stanley Cup
Finals. Philadelphia was off to a
great start again this year. Yet
Lindbergh foolishly took his own
life. His blood alcohol content
was reported as .24 percent, .14
percen1 above the legal level of
intoxication in New Jersey. Lindbergh had more than a few beers
on his way home from work. An
estimate of 15 drinks within 4
hours is a much more accurate
estimate. And at 5:40 am, Lindbergh's red Porsche didn't turn

f 11

when the road did.
Lindbergh's tragic accident is
nothing new. In 1974, Bob Casoff
of the St. Louis Blues was killed on
a motorcycle after a team party.
David Overstreet of the Miami
Dolphins also died iii a highspeed automobile accident. And
Craig McTavish, now with the Ed·
monton Oilers, was recenlly
released from jail after serving a
sentence for manslaughter. While
driving under the influence of
alcohol, McTavish crashed into
another car killing the driver.
Lindbergh, Gasoff, and OverSlreet
certainly paid (or their mistakes,
while McTavish will be haunted
by his actions for the rest o( his
life.
The days of athletes as role
models have passed, with the ex-

weekend." This statement refers
to Colgate's upcoming games
against Army and Princeton.
Slater stated, "Army will be our
firSI real lest. They've played 8
games already so they will be in
bener "playing" shape than we
will. Princeton is always tough in
their own building and 1hey had a
good recruiting year. so both
teams should give us a good
game." T),e return to action of the
injured Scott Rest.on and Kelly
Mills, both of whom will play this
weekend, should enhance the
Red Raiders chances for victory.
Colgate leads both of these teams
in their overall series. ColgaJ:e also
has a home game this Tuesday
against Geneseo State College.
Contrary 10 popular belief,
Brockport was not missing the
majority of its pJayers for its game
against Colgate. It has been
reported that all but two of the
regular Brockport players quit 1he
ream to protest the Brockport
coaches aclion of cutting the two
team captains from last year. According to Coach Terry Slater, the
players clid quit for a time but had
relurned to the team prior to the
Colgate g.-.me. The only players
that were missing were the team
captains that did, in fat1, get cut.

cep1ion of an elite few who accept this added responsibility. The
picture of Joe Delaney, a star run·
ning back for the Kansas City
Chiefs, diving into a pond to
rescue two drowning children
comes to mind. Delaney, who
didn't know how to swim. instinctively sacrificed his own life to
save two others. Society doesn'I
expect athletes to be this heroic,
but rather to take advantage of
their publici1y 10 help youngsters
who look up to them. In today's
world, perhaps youngsters should
not blindly accept athletes as role
models but rather accept them as
examples who should or should
no! be followed. Hopefully, Pelle
Lindbergh's example will prevent
someone else from being killed
behind the wheel.

The Yikes blew a big one to the

Turf, Con 't
Although collegiate sports officials do not widely recognize the
higher rate of injuries in third
quarters as a problem needing immediate anen1ion. some conferences plan to address the issue.
Gene Calhoun, supervisor of Big
10 football referees, has recommended the conference discuss
letting athletes have a longer lime
to stretch before the start of the
third quarter to lower therate of
third-quarter injuries. "I will put it
on their agenda for their
November meeting," says Underwood.
