IB DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE. ROCHESTFR, TUESDAY. MAY IS. 1W Nude tradition draws criticism at RIT Rigard, Mary C. GREECE: Monday.

May 17. 1993. She survived by her husband. Aioystus J. Rigard; her son and daughter-in-law.

Richard A Virginia Rigard of OH. her daughter and son-in-law. Carol Albert Aratan of Spencerport; her brother. Herman (Claire) Hayes; 9 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren: several nieces and nephews Friends mav call Tueadav 9-4 A 7.9PM at force and associate director of cooperative education and placement, said, "Certainly the long-range goal of the task force is arriving at awareness and education so that these kinds of things would not happen." The 10-member group representing students, faculty and staff plans to submit its recommendations to RIT President Albert J. Simone by June 30, Gburski said.

What also bothers Falk and others is that RIT campus security guards did not intervene. Others said that while RIT has established a women's network and a sexual harassment task force, it has allowed behavior that offended some men and women, they said. Said Steve Moose, a 21 -year-old RIT student, "I would say that would be sexual harassment toward women, definitely." He said he's a photographer who takes no offense at nudity. "I don't think it needs to be walked around the apartment complex," he added. About 800 RIT students live in the complex.

The occupants include 11 families with children. Beverly Gburski, co-chairwoman of RIT's sexual harassment task he said. Rachel Falk, a 22-year-old RIT student who lives in the East River Road complex, said about 10 naked students played volleyball and rugby and roller-skated from about 9:30 a.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday.

Both Smith and Falk said such incidents have occurred in past years on the May weekend preceding final exams. "I thought it was absolutely disgusting," Falk said. "It was right outside my door." Smith said RIT will try to prevent it from occurring again. "RIT does not condone the behavior in this end-of-the-year, informal, nonsanctioned RIT event. We do not expect it to happen again," Smith said.

Security guards did not intervene By M. Kathleen Wagner Stall writer Some male students at the Rochester Institute of Technology are being criticized for their nude antics outside an RIT student housing complex. An estimated 10 male students either streaked, played volleyball and rugby or used in-line roller skates in the nude outside the Racquet Club Apartments on Saturday. Fewer than 12 students took part in the incident and they only streaked, said RIT Vice President for Communications Jack F. Smith.

They drew about 500 onlookers, Budget propositions Staff reports Residents from several area school districts will go to the polls tomorrow to vote on budget propositions and elect board members: West Irondequoit West Irondequoit district voters will consider a $30.3 million budget this week and elect two people to the Board of Education tomorrow. The budget, which is up 5.3 percent from last year, would raise district property taxes by 6.1 percent next year if approved by voters. A second proposition would allow the district to buy commercial property to relocate the Operations and Maintenance garage. District voters said additional funding is not necessary to buy the land. Voters approved forming a capital reserve fund in December, which will provide the money for the land.

Two, three-year school board, posts are open. Those running include: Patricia Arcuri. Incumbent Michael Kriss. Incumbent John Littwitz. Frederick Magin.

The district has not projected tax rates, but said property owners should see a 4 percent increase over current rates.

But he said he's even considering expanding his proposal to include all types of scholarships that are at least partly paid by the state. Higher education officials said they were puzzled by LaValle's bill, particularly since the Legislature less than two months ago acted to restore cuts.

"The only thing that will matter when you die is that you helped somebody else." He had to stop for the applause. "Live bigger than yourself," he shouted. "Live for a reason." Then he sat down. And started eating the macaroni and cheese. He didn't grandstand, he didn't glad hand.

He ate. And he looked around with those big eyes, chewing. He sat at the head table, and he seemed alone. A couple of other ministers spoke. One of them stumbled on his words and referred to Sharpton as "mayor." "Senator," Sharpton interjected quietly.

"Senator." Don't laugh. Whatever you've heard about Al Sharpton before, it's time to start listening anew. Give Bob Lonsberry story ideas at (716) 258-2557 or 55 Exchange Rochester 14614.

Pembroke School tax rates would go down-- but taxes will go up for property owners under a 1993-94 budget proposal that will go to the public this week. The $11,089,751 budget proposal, which represents a 2.6 spending increase, will have a projected tax levy of $3,815,722, a 3.4 percent increase over 1992-93. But because of updated property assessments, which have increased assessments by as much as 8 percent, tax rates are estimated to drop from current levels, Superintendent William Cala said. However, total to the plan, which is not likely to become law anytime soon.

"He brings good news when he comes." "To read about Frederick Douglass and remember Frederick Douglass is not enough," Sharpton said. "What we must do is be the Frederick Douglasses of our day." About 40 people listened, and they broke in occasionally to applaud, or yell assent They were ministers, mostly, but also Tracey Long, a Republican politician, and Fred Bell, a police captain. All but one or two were black. "These preachers know there's nothing worse than having to preach the funeral of an unproductive Negro," Sharpton said.

GROWING UP MAKING A DIFFERENCE Name: Brian Maltzan Age: 17 Town: Rochester School: East High Why I make a difference: "Making a difference is not something you try to do. It's more of a way of life. I'm more comfortable around younger kids than people older than me kids my age or younger. I like to help them with homework or with their games.

There are a lot of kids in my neighborhood or with Scouts." Brian is an Eagle Scout and i I lit- has been in scouting since second grade. He is the oldest of six children, with one brother and four sisters. Why Brian makes a difference: From his scoutmaster, Mike Bart-nicki: "One of the things is patience with other people. When he's teaching or showing somebody how to do something, he doesn't get out of sorts. Another thing, while he has his own mind and will tell you if something is wrong, he does it in a respectful way.

He can get along with adults and kids, he's not about to let them railroad him. He's not going to be ridden over. And when you ask him to do something, you know it's going to be done." As part of our yearlong project, Growing Up, we will feature a youngster who makes a difference every Monday through Saturday in this space. If you want to make a nomination, send the young person's name and phone number and a brief statement about why he or she makes a difference to Carolyn Washburn, Democrat and ChronicleTimes-Union, 55 Exchange Rochester, N.Y. 14614..
