Don’t puke on your friend, useyour helmet, Sgt. Kenny FrymanJr. said Friday to Reserve OfficersTraining Corps cadets as theyprepared to be flown into “battle.”
About 70 cadets lifted off inhelicopters from the trainingfields behind Lantz GymnasiumFriday as part of an ROTCsimulated air assault operation.
The rides were conducted intwo shifts. Three UH-60ABlackhawk choppers took onechaulk, which is about 11 cadets,each for an estimated 30-minuteride south of the area, including a
short tour of the Embarras River. Junior cadets were the only
participants in the simulation,with freshman and sophomore
cadets going along for the ride toget familiarized with a helicopter.Active duty personnel and seniorcadets served as evaluators.
Matt Gardner, a junior cadet,said he has not flown in ahelicopter, but has completed a

Collective Soul and the opening bandsdrew in quite a crowd, who were ready tolisten to a mixture of music ranging from rockto alternative at Friday’s spring concert.
The Squares and Muse, the two openingbands, didn’t receive as much reaction fromthe crowd as Collective Soul did.
The first opening band of the night was TheSquares, who came to Eastern from Chicagoas a four member future upcoming band. Thelead singer came out on stage in a blackleather jacket and black pants and said thepeople of Eastern took away the anxiety hehad before the concert.
The Squares played songs, such as “FallenOut of Love,” from a new record that has justcome out. The band also played other songssuch as “Disappear,” “One Way Street,”“Change” and “Take it as it is.”
Genelle Neuhaus, a freshman dieteticsmajor, said she really liked The Squares.
“I thought they were very good, too, alongwith Collective Soul,” she said.
The second band to play was the Muse,which featured a four member band with adrummer, two guitar players and the leadsinger.
The lead singer of Muse compared the firstconcert of the tour at Eastern to his first love.He also told the crowd to never forget theirdreams and went on to sing a song entitled“Faces.” The group also sang other songssuch as “Radio” and “Pretty Face.”
Matt Tilman, a junior history major, said hedid not think Muse was anything special.
Before Muse left the stage, the drummerthrew out three drum sticks to the peoplestanding on the floor of Lantz Gymnasium.
When Collective Soul ran out onto thestage, the audience rose to their feet andapplauded the band.
The band opened up the performance withsuch songs as “Cool Rights,” “Forgiveness”
and a song from their new single entitled“Precious Deprivation.”
The crowd cheered on the band as theyplayed their older songs such as “SmashingYour Love” and “Don’t Think About It.”
The band also played “Heaven,” “Shine”and cover tunes by The Beatles and OzzyOsbourne.
Tilman said he was surprised by how muchhe liked Collective Soul.
“I liked Collective Soul, they were reallycool,” Tilman said. “They surprised me.”
Neuhaus also said Collective Soul wasbetter than she expected.
“I thought it was very good,” she said. “Ilike the way they spread their older music outand added in Ozzy Osbourne and theBeatles.”
Edie Stump, University Board coordinatorof concerts, said the concert couldn’t havebeen more perfect.
“We did not have one problem the entireday with any of the bands,” Stump said. “Thisis the first time the concert has went thiseasy.”
Stump said the concert sold 2,484 ticketswhich did not reach University Board’s goalto break even.
“I believe this was enough to cover theconcert, but I am not sure. We may not evenknow before summer,” she said.
Stump said she is not sure how manytickets were sold to walk-ins at the concertand how much merchandise was sold.
Stump also said she would not comment onhow much Eastern paid for Collective Soul oranything else dealing with the contractbecause she wasn’t sure if the band receivedtheir paycheck yet.

The American Red Cross blood drive did notreach its expected goal for Saturday, but did reachits expected goal for Sunday.
The drive’s expectations were to receive 50pints of blood for each day of the weekend.Saturday brought in 35 pints of the blood andSunday brought in 54 pints of the blood.
Saturday marked the beginning of the springRed Cross blood drive that will end today at 8p.m.
Their goal for each of the five days is to get 50pints, but because of other events on campus andstudent schedules, turnout for the blood drive hasbeen low.
“With finals week people will be busy and get-
ting ready to go home so we don’t expect a largeturnout,” said Anne Feuerborn, coordinator of theblood drive.
This is the only time the Red Cross could do ablood drive at Eastern due to several problemsincluding staffing problems, the end of thesemester and people having to wait 60 daysbefore they can give blood again.
“In a survey given in February a good amountof people said that they’d be able to give bloodduring finals week, but we can’t tell until that daywhat the turnout is going to be like,” said JenniferToomire, coordinator of the blood drive.
Today the blood drive will be open from 4 p.m.to 8 p.m. in the Martin Luther King Jr. UniversityUnion. The Red Cross will also have a blooddrive during finals week from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. onMay 5 and May 6 in the Lawson Hall basement.
Blood drive falls short of goal
“They were yelling vulgarwords to people, making sexualinnuendoes to females and someof them were junior high girlsand flag corp people and peoplein the bands. (They were) toss-ing candy, throwing beer, plasticcups and bott les very hard,some of them hit people in the
head,” Woods stated in the Oct.24 edition of The Daily EasternNews.
Members of Pi Kappa Alphawere also alleged to have yelledobscenities and thrown objectsat members of student groupsfrom Eastern.
Forenero, Lawrence and Ru-
dolph were given ci tat ionsThursday because the partywhere the violat ions werealleged to occur happened attheir residence at 1110 Sixth St.
A police report stated most ofthe people at the party weremembers of Pi Kappa Alpha.The report s tated 75 people
from the party walked into thestreet as the parade approachedthe house.
The report stated members ofthe party began danced aroundthe parade marchers andgrabbed female members of thelocal school district marchingband.

simulated assault last semester atFort Knox in Kentucky. Helooked forward to the ride withanticipation. “I’m pretty psych-ed,” he said.
Freshman Janet Spataforo alsotook part in the assault at FortKnox in September, as it was herfirst field training exercise. Herfreshman status made her unableto participate in Friday’s mainactivity. However, all cadets,assault participants and non-par-ticipants, still rode the chopperto Miller’s Farm, where the sim-ulation was located.
“I’m excited and scared. I’venever been on one and I can’twait, but there’s still a little bitof me that likes to stay on theground and be safe,” Spataforosaid of the Blackhawk excur-sion.
“The ROTC program has beensomething that’s challenged mementally, physically and in everyother way,” Spataforo said. “It’sexciting to overcome a challengeand do better than I thought Iwould.”
Chief Warrant Officer Scott
Wiley served as a co-pilot of oneof the helicopters. He said theBlackhawks can seat about 14people will full-combat gear, and26 people can be accommodatedwhen its seats are removed.
The choppers used in the sim-ulation are about 11 to 18 yearsold and cost approximately $6million to $7 million each, Wileysaid. Sgt. Robert Allen added thechoppers usually fly at speeds ofabout 200 knots, which is about230 miles per hour.
Awaiting departure, juniorDavid Dust said he had flown inother helicopters, but never in aBlackhawk.
“The anticipation is pretty
exhilarating,” Dust said. “I’mreally excited.”
Friday’s simulation was partof a weekend of training to pre-pare the juniors for this year’sAdvanced Camp held at FortLewis in Washington, said seniorcadet Maurie Griffith. Griffithwill observe and evaluate theperformance of the cadets duringthe simulation.
“It’s different being an evalua-tor rather than an evaluatee,” hesaid. “You’re not so pressured.”
“We’ve been there and donethat, so we can point out whatthey are doing wrong so they cancorrect it in Advanced Camp,”Griffith said.
Advanced Camp focuses onleadership dril ls and placescadets in different head posi-tions. The cadets actions are thenassessed a score out of 1,000points and individual files arecompiled.
The fi les are sent to thecadet’s requested branch of ser-vice, stating his or her preferredselection for either active orreserve duty.

The 911 emergency phone sys-tem is scheduled to be in operationin Coles County on May 5.
Rex Roberts, county 911 boardchairman, said a May 5 start datewill give the phone companiesenough time to verify that all the911 numbers are working. Robertssaid there are still 100 residents onthe GTE phone system in the
southern part of the county whohave not been tested yet.
Coles County residents arebeing asked to call 711 to verifythat their phone numbers andaddresses are correct, Roberts said.
He said the verification ofEastern’s phone numbers wascompleted last month.
Clay Hopkins, Eastern’stelecommunications manager, saidEastern was ready to adopt the 911system. Hopkins said he was excit-
ed about the change.“I think it’s going to be a nice
improvement for Eastern and thecounty,” Hopkins said.
Roberts said whenever someonemakes a call to the enhanced 911system, their address immediatelyshows up on the dispatcher’s com-puter screen.
Roberts said this allows thepolice or the fire department to bedispatched to the address immedi-ately.
“It’s just a button away fromgetting those people dispatched,”he said.
Roberts said the enhanced sys-tezm also shows the residence hallnumbers at Eastern.
The basic 911 system requiresdispatchers to ask for the addressof the person calling, Roberts said.
He said the Coles CountySheriff ’s Department and theMattoon Police Department aredispatching their own calls
because the 911 center does nothave enough dispatchers.
Dispatchers had been hired ear-lier this year, Roberts said, butmany of them have left for otherjobs.
Roberts said an advertisementfor new dispatchers will be run-ning in local newspapers thisweek.
“Once we get everybody trainedwe’ll get everybody back on lineone at a time,” Roberts said.

With the powwow and SpecialOlympics happening on campus atthe same time, Stepansky said thatPeacefest went pretty well.
“Our main goal was for people toget a multi-cultural experience byfinding out about the many organi-zations found on campus and intown,” Stepansky said. “We wantedpeople to enjoy and benefit from theexperience of Peacefest, and I thinkthat everyone did.”
Ellen Eardley, a junior vocal per-formance and English major, saidPeacefest was very impressive.
“People brought blankets and sataround enjoying the music and niceweather,” Eardley said.

“Everyone was having a goodtime and enjoying each other beforeschool lets out for summer,”Anderson said.
Kim Elkin, a sophomore environ-mental biology major, said thatPeacefest was a good way to endEarth Week by promoting globalawareness.
“It was a good way to enjoynature before having to study forfinals,” Elkin said.

“Full nakedness! All joys are due tothee, as souls unbodied, bodiesunclothed must be, to taste wholejoys. –John Donne
today’s quote
Killer cop gave up his right to say goodbye
As the weather has warmed up this month, oddthings have happened at Eastern. The students havearisen from their proverbial winter hibernation andflocked to the overflow of recent campus activities,showing a vision of what could be as far as univer-sity entertainment goes.
This past weekend was the clincher. On Friday,Eastern hosted the 18th annual Special Olympics atO’Brien Stadium. Many students and Charleston
residents encouraged morethan 500 athletes to thefinish line of each race,boosting the morale of the
entire community.Collective Soul awakened the crowd after the
two opening bands performed on Friday night.They brought the house down with an hour and ahalf long show filled with old and new songs, alongwith a few surprise cover tunes.
The next morning, students woke up to campusreplete with entertainment and culture – an all-dayfestival of different events that could have rivaledLollapalooza, even back when Perry Farrell wascool.
The Booth Library Quad played host to SeventhGeneration’s second annual Powwow, dedicated toWorld War II hero Ira Hayes, an 11-hour celebra-tion of American-Indian culture. The quad wascrowded through most of the day.
Near the sidelines of the women’s rugby game,the west side of campus featured Peacefest, anotherdaylong activity highlighted by local bands, crafttables, and no less than eight mid-afternoon streak-ers who ran around and leaped into the CampusPond in full view of about 100 people.
Students sampled pot brownies (i.e. brownies ina flower pot), got tarot card readings and neck andback massages.
The campus also played host to an invasion ofsiblings for Little People’s Weekend. Students gotup unusually early on Saturday to watch cartoonsand eat breakfast with their younger brothers or sis-ters in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
This weekend showed that when student organi-zations hold events, students will come. Granted,every weekend cannot always feature a handful ofmajor events, but with more events like these, morestudents will be exposed to these student organiza-tions. It could be a snowball effect – with moreinvolvement, bigger, more numerous events canresult.
Editorial
Dear editor:Perhaps it is time for a new registered
student organization to begin bookingand promoting concerts. At theUniversity of Illinois, students orga-nized an independent student-run con-cert-promotion group called Starcourse.
Unlike many of the University Boardmembers who just seem interested inpadding their resumes and boostingtheir fraternity or sorority status,Starcourse membership consists of stu-dents who are truly interested in music.Keith Lipke, who was on the UB forwhat seemed like decades and wasresponsible for concert bookings, toldme himself that he knew very littleabout music. This seems to be a rule inthe UB rather than the exception.
It is possible to create a solution.Students must organize and someonemust provide a venue and support forthe kinds of music young people wantto hear. Otherwise, despite all the lipservice given to bar alternatives by bothEastern and the city, Charleston willremain a community with very little
exciting live entertainment, and thestudent body will probably, thereforeremain “lazy” and “unreliable.”
Jeff SteppCharleston resident
Dear editor:Travis McDade’s latest column
espoused the belief that “ThomasJefferson’s ideas abolished NorthAmerica slavery.” Really? Does thatinclude the hundreds of slaves that heowned and used in his agrarian pursuitsat his beloved Monticello?
Despite all of Jefferson’s rhetoricabout “all men being created equal andbeing endowed with certain unalienablerights,” he really meant that all land-owning white males are created equal.
Jefferson was a giddy, blatant racistwho should have been publicly floggedfor being such a hypothetical cretin.Jefferson’s solution to “North Americanslavery” was to deport all the freed
slaves back to Africa. In 1778, Jeffersondrafted a piece of legislation which stat-ed, “It shall be illegal for free Negroesto come into Virginia on their ownaccord, and any white woman havingthe child of a Negro shall be expelledfrom Virginia.”
In analyzing Jefferson as an intellec-tual and as a statesman and how he“saved the world,” it is impossible tooverlook the fact that he owned slavesand desired to ship freed slaves out ofthe United States and “back to wherethey came from.”
Adolph Hitler was a vegetarian. Doesthat make him a poster boy for the ani-mal rights movement?

Not-so-equal rights:Thomas Jefferson wasslave-owning hypocrite
Joseph Gould’s family is mad.Gould was killed in 1995, and
on April 19, the man convicted ofkilling him was awarded thechance to say goodbye to those heloves.
Chicago police officer GregoryBecker was convicted April 19 ofarmed violence, manslaughter andofficial misconduct, according tothe April 22 Chicago Tribune.
It’s ironic that Becker is gettinganother chance, a chance he tookaway from Gould.
Becker is supposed to be sentenced on May 28, but is freeon bond for a variety of reasons until then.
That’s where Gould’s family has a problem.This man killed another in a street confrontation, while off
duty, and now has been given the opportunity to enjoy a freelife until his sentencing? I, like Gould’s family, tend to won-der why.
Cook County Criminal Court Judge Robert Bertucci toldBecker he could remain free, although he must continue dailyreports and once-a-week meetings with a probation officer,the Chicago Tribune article said.
The reasoning to keep Becker out of jail a little longerseems to be that he is not a flight risk.
Sure, Becker has been convicted of a single offense and isnot expected to commit any other offenses, but he wasn’texpected to kill Gould either.
I don’t understand why he has been given this chance. As apolice officer, Becker should have known how to handle thesesituations. While off duty he gets into a confrontation with ahomeless man, pulls his gun and kills him.
Becker, like most convicted criminals, should stay in policecustody until he is sentenced. The Gould family must now tryand figure out why Becker has gotten another chance whiletheir brother, uncle, son did not.
He is no longer allowed to be free. During the trial hestayed with his family and lived his life. Now he has beenconvicted. He is guilty of killing a man. With one fatal shot in
1995, Becker relinquished his free-dom.
The article said that Becker isbeing given a chance to say good-bye to his family. Gould had nochance to say goodbye to his fami-ly.
Right now Becker is facing asentence of no less than 15 years.He will most likely serve onlyabout 7 years, the article said.
Originally Gould’s family andhomeless advocates had called for
the charge of manslaughter to be raised to murder.Prosecutors called for Becker to be ordered to jail immedi-
ately to await sentencing. The judge cited the no-flight risk asa factor to allow Becker to go home.
The prosecutors questioned that judgment, the ChicagoTribune said, and so do I after hearing the reasoning. Theysaid Becker is in a “precarious position as a police officer fac-ing prison time and his extreme reaction to the verdict – hehad to be wheeled out of the courthouse on a stretcher aftersuffering an anxiety attack.”
Of course thoughts of fleeing are going to enter Becker’shead. He has been on the other side. I’m sure he has heard thestories of what occurs at jails, he knows how prisoners mustlive and for years he has been on the exact opposite side ofthe law.
Now he is going to be taking orders from those he used towork beside, not under. He had a severe anxiety attack justlistening to the verdict. Who’s to say what will happen whenhe enters the prison? I’m sure Becker has thought about that.
I am siding with the family of Joseph Gould – they lost aloved one without even a goodbye. Now his convicted killeris getting the chance to say goodbye and walk freely, and noone is sure why. Becker certainly hasn’t proven he is a ratio-nal or deserving person of such a gift of freedom, even if it’sonly for a few weeks.–Katie Vana is a regular weekly columnist and editor in chieffor The Daily Eastern News.

The Booth Library Quad transformed into aworld of Native American culture duringSaturday’s Ira Hayes Memorial Powwow.
Staging the all-day affair were traveling mer-chants’ craft booths encircling a grassy area about40 feet in diameter. Within the roped-off circle, par-ticipants in magnificent tribal garb danced through-out most of the day.
Providing a pulsating, percussive beat for thedancers were the Red Hawk Singers. About five orsix singers would sit around a single drum, called athunderheart drum, each beating it in unison andsinging in harmony.
Some dances were exclusive to particular tribes,
and several other intertribal dances were put on foreveryone to join. Separate fancy dances wereplayed for men and women, and other songs fea-tured a single, skilled dancer.
During one type of dance, a blanket was laiddown in the middle of the circle, and everyone wasinvited to drop down a donation and join the dance.
Seventh Generation, the sponsor of the powwow,named it after World War II hero Ira Hayes, a mem-ber of the Pima tribe and a U.S. Marine who earnedthe Medal of Honor for his bravery in fightingPacific Ocean island battles.
Seventh Generation is a group of Eastern stu-dents and staff members who meet in a social atmo-sphere to discuss, learn and maintain the traditions,cultures and religious ceremonies of the NativeAmerican.

Collective Soul Friday rockedLantz Gymnasium back to life withnew songs, old songs and an OzzyOsborne cover tune after the open-ing bands put the audience to sleep.
A restless audience listened toThe Squares and Muse, the openingacts for Friday night’s show, fortwo-long hours before CollectiveSoul finally took the stage at 10p.m. to entertain them.
The boredom that was created bythe 80’s style rock from The
Squares and the angst-driven Musewas alleviated by Collective Soul’scharming guitar rhythms and deli-cious lyrics.
A collective sigh was heard whenthe stage was finally being set forthe real attraction of the night,Collective Soul.
Collective Soul opened with“Disciplined Breakdown,” the titlesong from its new CD, and had thehouse on its feet screaming formore.
The first half of the concert wasriddled with songs from the newCD and the audience seemed to
really dig it.“Precious Declaration” and
“Forgiveness” were just a couple ofthe new songs that harnessed thepower of the three different guitarsplayed by Dean Roland, RossChildress, and Will Turpin with the
intense voice of Ed Roland pullingjust as strongly.
Halfway through the concert,Collective Soul played the firstsong it hit big with – “Shine.”
Ed Roland asked for a little audi-ence participation on this one, andhe got it. The audience sang whenhe dangled the microphone into thecrowd when they were doused withbright white light, and the crowdalmost drowned him out while hesmiled and finished the tune.
The rest of the concert paidhomage to the old Collective Soulalbums, “Hints, Lies and Alle-
gations” and “Collective Soul” withsongs such as “The World I Know”and “Where the River Flows.”
The band even got in a covertune by Ozzy Osborne. The crowdwent wild when the first few notesof “Crazy Train” were played.
Collective Soul didn’t play to asellout crowd, but the crowdseemed to enjoy the show.
Footage of the concert can beseen on the Collective Soul web siteat www.atlantic-records. com/CollectiveSoul/. The band will playin Ohio and Michigan before head-ing to the East Coast.

PANTHERS from page 12
PITTSBURGH (AP) – Untilnow, Mario Lemieux could not saythe word never.
They said a team as bad as thePittsburgh Penguins could neverwin the Stanley Cup. Lemieuxproved them wrong.
They said a hockey player couldnever be as revered as a RobertoClemente or a Terry Bradshaw in acity that tolerated hockey but nevertook to it. He proved them wrong.
They said an athlete could neverundergo debilitating cancer treat-ment in the morning, then be hisgame’s best player that night. Heproved them wrong.
Now, they say a relatively youngathlete such as Lemieux couldnever retire happily. And, again,Lemieux intends to prove them
wrong.Asked when his seemingly pre-
mature retirement will end – afterall, Gordie Howe came back at 44– and he will rejoin the PittsburghPenguins to win perhaps yet anoth-er scoring title, Lemieux said,unhesitatingly, “Never.’’ Weary ofall the clutching and grabbing thathas reduced his scoring average,Lemieux has had enough. As of 11p.m. Saturday, the end of thePenguins’ season, he is officiallyretired.
He quit on his terms, not those ofsome team owner or commissioner.
“I did it my way,’’ Lemieux said.The last comparable Hall of
Fame-caliber athlete to leave on hisown volition, rather than injury,while still at the top of his game
was former Cleveland Browns starJim Brown.
“It’s hard for me to understand,’’said Joe Mullen, the Penguins’500-goal scorer who also is retir-ing. “Everybody’s different. I guessI’m driven by playing all the timeand the love of the game, andmaybe Mario’s driven by some-thing else.’’ Like Brown, Lemieuxis his own man, a loner unwillingto follow the status quo. Lemieuxdidn’t just win three MVP awardswhile leading a once-dreadful fran-chise to two Stanley Cups, he ele-vated the act of scoring goals intoan art form. He also beat twocareer-threatening back operationsand Hodgkin’s disease, a form ofcancer that attacks the lymphnodes.
Lemieux bids adieu to hockey

The Panther baseball teamwent into Ohio Valley Conferenceleader Tennessee Tech this week-end for a three-game series andwon two of them, which no teamin the conference has done so farthis year.
“I couldn’t be more pleasedwith the effort of everybody,”Panther head coach Jim Schmitzsaid. “For 21 innings, we held ourown against the top team in theconference.”
Tech (14-6 in the OVC, 28-19overall) used the power of aschool-record nine-run seventhinning to run away with a 15-9victory in Sunday’s game. Easternwas up 9-6 going into the inning,but came out of it down 15-9. ThePanthers had to come from behindin both games of Saturday’s dou-bleheader, winning game two 12-9 and game one 8-7.
There was one bright spot inSunday’s loss. In the bottom ofthe fourth inning with runners onfirst and second, a Tech batter hita line drive that junior secondbaseman Justin Stone made a div-ing catch on. Both runners werebreaking on the play, so Stone got

Eastern’s track teams had sever-al athletes compete at the DrakeRelays over the weekend, andwhile the performances were notrecord-breaking, the Panther trackmembers competing did gainexperience.
“The competition was outstand-ing and it was a little tough gettingup for the meet after just finishingup with the conference meet,”men’s head coach Tom Akers saidof his team’s opportunity to com-pete in one of the most prestigioustrack meets in the country. “Wedidn’t have great performances butwe did have good ones.”
Women’s head coach John Craftagreed with Akers.
“It is a premiere event andalthough we had several athleteswho competed hard, the level ofcompetition was very elevated,”Craft said. “The athletes got expe-rience that will help them downthe road in working toward nextyear.”
For the women, the experienceCraft referred to will be beneficialsince a young track squad repre-sented Eastern at Drake. Onlysenior Tisha Alvarez, who record-
ed a distance of 153 feet, 4 inchesin the hammer throw, is departingfrom the team.
The other four athletes, CristenConrad, Gina Arinyanontakoon,Jonica Craft, and Vicki Sleezer areall underclassmen.
“It was very good experiencefor the athletes that went becausewe had a young squad and it willgive them confidence for next yearand inspire them to work harder.”
The men’s track team also hadseveral athletes representing it atDrake. Cameron Mabry took partin the 100-meter dash whileBrandon Meiner and Ray Helmsran in the 110-meter hurdles.
The other participants, RichArsenault, Todd Maroney, JasonAnhalt, Mike McBride, TimThompson and Rick Walden com-peted in various relay events dur-ing the meet.
Although his athletes did nothave any breakthrough perfor-mances, Akers said he was pleasedwith the efforts from his athletesconsidering the top track athletesfrom all over the country werecompeting at this event.
“Our guys were competingagainst the best of the best,” Akerssaid. “There were over 1,000 ath-letes from schools like theUniversity of Washington and theUniversity of Oregon.”
Eastern’s track teams will closeout its outdoor season next week-end when it travels to a meet at theUniversity of Indiana.
