them for winter! Learn about blending different apple varieties for the best 
flavor, equipment needed for pressing and fermentation, sanitation, types of 
yeast, bottling and other details to get you started with making your own 
cider. There will also be information on where on apple pressing services and

   IthacaStudents and Faculty to Confront Board of 
Trustees Cocktail Hour with Rally
After12 Months of Bargaining, College Continues to Stiff Faculty Demands for 
LivingWage and Basic Security While Drinking Champagne 
(Ithaca) After walking out fromnegotiations with their administration on 
September 23, students, the IthacaCollege Contingent Faculty Bargaining 
Committee and members of the IthacaCollege Contingent Faculty Union/Service 
Employees International Union (SEIU),Local 200United will rally outside a 
cocktail hour where the Ithaca CollegeBoard of Trustees will be present on 
October 19 at 6pm. The committeepreviously rejected the administration’s 
request for federal mediation, arguingthat the administration needs to develop 
serious economic proposals to addresshelping contingent faculty get out of 
poverty and attain more securelivelihoods rather than hiding behind a mediator. 
Furthermore, the lavishcatering budget for the Board of Trustees and top 
administrators exemplifiesIthaca College’s wrongly prioritized spending. While 
contingent faculty pay haslargely been stagnant, student tuition has more than 
doubled since 1999 withoutgiving students or faculty input into how tuition 
dollars are allocated.
Nationwide and across Upstate New York,contingent faculty have been taking 
action to win fair wages and more securityin the university system including 
places like Tufts University, NortheasternUniversity, Fordham University, The 
College of St. Rose and the CaliforniaState University System.
