standard ActiveRecord validation message

in testing my app I just use the validations

  validates_presence_of :first_name, :last_name, :email
  validates_presence_of  :academy, :message => "You must select an
Academy"
  validates_presence_of  :role, :message => "You must select a
role"

standard error_messages are fine for most of my fields , resulting
in :

5 errors prohibited this data from being saved
There were problems with the following fields:
# Last name can''t be blank
# Email can''t be blank
# First name can''t be blank

but 2 messages are a little bit confusing :
# Role You must select a role
# Academy You must select an Academy

the model names are embedded into the error message... how can I
suppress them and get only  the message....
# You must select a role
#  You must select an Academy

thanks fyh
