The Faculty Senate supports the recognition of Gays and Lesbians of Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s College (GLND/SMC) as a result o f the resolution passed at the Senate’s m eeting last night.

Despite the repeated claim of Vice President o f S tu d e n t A ffa ir s P a tr ic ia O’H ara th a t GLND/SMC will not be recognized because it is “philosophically inconsistent" with the official teaching of the Catholic Church, 30 m em bers of the S en a te w ere in favor o f the reso lu tio n . Three mem bers opposed the resolution, while four m em bers abstained from the resolu tion which resolves that “the Faculty Senate calls upon the officers of the University immediately to recognize GLND/SMC.”

In response to the passing of the resolution by the Senate, GLND/SMC Co-Chair John Blandford said it was “an overwhelm ing victory especially considering the high level of conversation dur­ing the meeting."

“I hope the adm inistration u nderstands its published response on Monday was inadequate and that it has failed to recognize the will of the University as a w hole,” Blandford said.

Prior to the passage of the resolution, O’Hara spoke and answered questions on the issue of GLND/SMC’s recogn ition , w hich Chair o f the F a cu lty S e n a te F a th er R ich ard M cB rien d escribed as “a m atter of general University concern."

O’Hara said that she did not have much more to add to the letter printed in Monday’s issue of The Observer, in which she responded to the Campus Life Council’s resolution, which asked the adm inistration to recogn ize GLND/SMC. According to O’Hara, the issue is a “d ispute over m eans to an agreed upon end.”

One of the reasons for her denying GLND/SMC recognition, O’Hara said, was its statem ent of its belief that “Notre Dame has a unique oppor­tunity to influence young gays and lesbians by steering them in the direction of stable, m onog­amous relationships. ” This statem ent, includ­ed in GLND/SMC’s application for recognition submitted to the Office of Student Activities in

Notre Dame not alone in GLND/SMC decisioneditor's Note: This is the sec-

Iu BETH REGANS u m M ary’s Editor______________________

As the debate over issues of homosexuality continue to rage in the Notre Dame/Saint Mary’s com m unity. Saint Mary’s Col­le g e w ill s tr ic t ly fo llo w th e stance of the Catholic Church.

Most of the attention has been focused on Notre Dame during I his period of turmoil, however, lhe SMC in GLND/SMC is equal­ly im portant, according to co- i hair Kelly Smith.

"The n u m b e rs ten d to be sm aller at Saint Mary’s," said Smith. “Students here seem to I ° very supportive, but there is i lack of dialogue. People seem > ca r ed to sp e a k ou t on th e topic."

The ap p reh en sio n Sm ith is talking about might stem from iho College’s official policy, e s ­tablished in 1986 in response to I I ND/SMC’s application for of­

f ic ia l r e c o g n it io n at S a in t Mary’s.

T h e p o licy s ta te s : “As a C a th o lic in s t itu t io n , S a in t M ary’s C ollege su p p o rts the position of the Catholic Church on homosexuality. Because the Church does not condone the hom osexual lifesty le , the co l­lege does not officially reco g ­nize gay and lesbian groups on campus.

“However, as mem bers of the S ain t M ary’s com m u n ity , all stu d en ts are offered the s e r ­vices extended to any individual student. These would include cam pus m inistry and cou n sel­ing services.”

The C ounseling and C areer Center does provide individual, c o n f id e n t ia l c o u n s e lin g for those students dealing with is­su es concerning sexu al orien ­tation. The Center follows the guidelines of the American Psy­chological Association, like the C o u n se lin g C en ter at N otre D am e. The Center a lso p ro­vides students with the Catholic Church’s official p osition and explanation of homosexuality.

Gay and Catholic

Part 2 Of 4The Office of Multicultural Af­

fairs is also involved in educat­ing students about sexual pref­erence.

“This office w orks to create an en v iron m en t in w hich all students feel com fortable, r e ­spected and accepted,” said Di­rector of M ulticultural Affairs M aricela R am irez, “an e n v i­ronment in which students can be safe and can grow together both personally and intellectu­ally regardless of race, religion, eth n ic ity and se x u a l p r e fe r ­ence.”

The office strives to provide program m ing to ed u cate s tu ­dents to be more appreciative of d if fe r e n c e s , a cc o r d in g to Ramirez.

“As a consequence, they will be more accepting of those with d ifferen t lifesty les ," R am irez

said. “I think that we are defi­nitely accom plishing som ething in changing behaviors and atti­tudes.”

Smith, who enrolled at Saint Mary’s as a freshman in 1988, turned to the Counseling Center when she was dealing with feel­ings of depression before “com ­ing out ” in the spring of 1991. She gave other possible reasons for her depression to the psy­ch o log ists that cou n seled her because she was unable to con­front her homosexuality.

“I was being untruthful about my problem s with m yself, my family and the counseling cen­ter. I just w asn ’t com fortable dealing w ith the real problem until one of my friends revealed th a t sh e w a s h a v in g s im ila r feelings.”

S m ith had tr o u b le ta lk in g ab out her se x u a l o r ien ta tio n because she felt alone, she said. Upon realizing that her feelings were not unique, she turned to a group setting for counseling.

“I in it ia te d c o n ta c t w ith M elissa B ell, th e c o -c h a ir o f GLND/SMC at that tim e. She

encouraged me to get involved with the organ ization ,” Smith sa id . “It w as grea t b eca u se I could see a lot of other people just like m e. Regular people, with similar feelings.

“T h e g ro u p m ad e m e fe e l m ore c o n fid e n t a b o u t b e in g m yself.”

Sm ith w ill g ra d u a te in th e spring of 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.

“It is important for me to re­m ain in S o u th B end ," sa id Smith. “The group here is like a fa m ily and b e in g a c t iv e in GLND/SMC is important. ”

Smith lead support groups at Notre Dame in the fall of 1992 and 1993. She is currently or­gan izin g a su pp ort group for lesbians and bi sexuals at Saint Mary’s.

“It is important to begin to in­c r e a s e a w a r e n e s s at S a in t Mary’s ,” Smith said. "In order for change to occur in the pol­icy, there needs to be a grass roots movement.

“There must be a break in the

Night owls keep watch over dormsBy JESSICA ZIGM ONDNews W riter

One year after the sudden death of her husband in 1978, Heim began working one night a week at McCandless Hall. Heim heard about the desk a s ­sistant position from a friend and said accepting the job “changed her life.”

“I was always a night person,” Heim said. “ So, I thought this job would be perfect for me. ”

Spring Break or

Bust!!!The signs are unmis- Amy Schmidt

takable. News Copy EditorNo, I don’t m ean the -----------------------------

sw eet sound of birds chirping or even the bright sunshine. Remember, this IS South Bend. But every year, just about this time, there is a noticeable twinkle in every student’s eye.

Crowds form at Anthony Travel as last- minute trip planners try to find decent ticket prices. Pre-tanned bodies stroll around cam ­pus hoping that no one will notice their all too apparent “fake bake.” And who can forget the oh-so-painstakingly crafted Hawaiian Tropics display at the Bookstore?

We are on the brink of Spring Break— only three days until departure, to be exact. This is a time when college students across the coun­try can forget academ ic endeavors, at least for the time being.

The countdown to March 10 began quite som e time ago for me, namely the first day of spring sem ester. While trudging to class dur­ing tundra-like w eather in mid-February, I would keep my spirits up by crossing off the days in my mental calendar.

During those endless February days, I also heard a plethora of plans in progress— trips to Cancun, South Padre, Jamaica, Hawaii. I could just picture m yself lying on a beach, basking in the warm glow of the tropical sun... feeling the cool laps of the waves as they crashed ashore...the euphoric feeling of not having one single paper due within the next seven days...

But wait a minute. Had I forgotten my REAL plans for break so soon? Had I forgotten that my noticeably fair skin would fry to a crisp in the tropical sun? Had I forgotten that the thought of being seen in a bathing suit in mid- March w as just as appealing to m e as a root canal?

The truth is that my huge spring break I plans have nothing to do with balmy clim ates

or sun-kissed beaches. Like many a poor col­lege student, I will be going home— not even far away, seeing as I live in the “exotic” city of Chicago.

Sure, I’m sacrificing a golden tan that is certainly a hot commodity at the end of March. I am also sacrificing a trip to som e far-away place that would no doubt leave me with enough stories to tell for the rest of the

| sem ester.

But just think about what I am getting in ; return: free laundry, no m eatless baked ziti | nightmares courtesy of the dining hall, no

parietals. The benefits are endless! And in addition to all those perks, I get to spend som e quality time with my dog while watching all the Ricki Lake re-runs one human could handle.

I’ll get to wake up in the morning knowing that I w on’t have to fumble around in a half- asleep stupor trying to find the “good” shower in the bathroom. Heck, I’ll even get to take a hath!!

So although my spring break plans may seem less than exciting, at least I’ll know exactly where my luggage is w hen it is time to return to good ol’ ND. For now, I’ll just have to live vicariously through the stories told by

' the rest of you wild n’ crazy kids!

The changes might appease Croatia’s governm ent, which ordered the 12,000 peacekeepers out by March 31, but it’s unlikely the rebel Serbs who hold nearly a third of the repu b lic’s territory w ill agree.

President Franjo Tudjman’s order in January, blaming the peacekeepers for fa ilin g to restore governm ent control over rebel areas, raised the specter of ren ew ed w ar on ce th e p ea cek eep in g troops leave.

Officer fired for appearing in PlayboyNEW YORK

The city’s No. 1 naked crime fighter was fired Tuesday by the police com m issioner, who said she used her badge to m ake a quick buck in Playboy m a g a z in e’s “ NYPD Nude” pictorial. Carol Shaya, who made $100,000 posing in and out o f uniform la st A ugust, w as d ism issed by Commissioner William Bratton, who overruled a depart­m ental recom m endation that she lose one m onth’s pay and spend a year on probation. “The reputation of the New York Police Department is not for sale, and there’s no room in our organ iza tion for an yone w ho w ould attem pt to do so ,” Bratton said. Playboy spokeswom an Diane Stefani said Bratton’s decision m ight reflect his p erson al fee lin gs. “We believe looking at p ictures of beautiful wom en nude is a good thing, and positive,” she said. “But many of us are frightened by the human body unclothed .” After a departm ental trial in January, the four-year NYPD veteran was found guilty of “engaging in conduct detrimental to the good order, efficiency and dis­cipline of the department.”

Former Governor Wilder assaultedRICHMOND

An airport secu rity guard shoved and choked form er Gov. L. D ouglas W ilder as he tried to board a flight from North Carolina to Virginia early Tuesday, W ilder and airport officials sa id . T h e a tta c k o c c u r r e d w h e n W ilder, unhappy w ith h is treatm ent when he set off a m etal detector, tried to re a d th e g u a r d ’s n am e o ff h is identification badge, said Rick Martinez, spokesm an for the R aleigh-D urham International Airport. The guard w as fired, Martinez said. Wilder told listeners to his radio program on WRVA-AM that m etal bars on his suspenders triggered the m etal detector as he prepared to board the 7:35 a.m. flight. When he tried to explain, the guard told him to “ turn around and get up a g a in st the w a ll, I haven’t quite finished with you.” Wilder said he decided to report the guard and turned to look at his name tag.f. W ilder, the nation’s first black governor, served from 1990 until 1994. He said in an interview that the guard w as white but he did not know whether the incident had anything to do with race. He said he was not injured.

Seattle school bus drivers walkSEATTLE

About 300 school bus drivers went on strike today to dem and a pension plan, leaving thousands of students to find other ways to get to class. Schools were open, how­ever, Seattle School District spokeswom an Dorothy Dubia said. Some programs, such as Head Start, w ere canceled. The drivers, who transport about 13,000 of the district’s 46,000 students, voted 139-100 Monday to reject a new contract offer from Laidlaw Transit Inc. that included a pay raise but not the pension plan sought by the union K evin M est, o p e ra tio n s d irecto r for T o r o n to -b a se d Laidlaw, said the company is developing a pension plan for its 2 0 ,000 drivers nationw ide and d oesn ’t w ant to bargain over sp ec ifics in individual con tracts. Greg Slaughter, Team sters Local 763 business agent, did not immediately return phone calls seeking com m ent on the vote. The drivers had been working without a contract since September. Top scale of $12.75 an hour would have gone to $13.60 in the third year of the proposed contract.

Husband accused of wife’s murderPLYMOUTH

As fire en gu lfed h is fam ily ’s hom e la st N ovem ber, Lance Wargo snatched his two children from their beds and guided them out a window. His wife, Wendy, was still in side. N eighbors w atched as W argo pounded on the front door and attacked the burning building with a gar­den hose — to no avail. His w ife never em erged . On Tuesday, state police said Wargo knew she never would. Wargo, 36, was charged with murdering his wife and se t­ting his home on fire to cover up the slaying. He was held on $1 m illion bond pending arraignm ent W ednesday. Suspicion had grown since the Nov. 19 fire as police de­term ined that the w om an, w ho had recently filed for divorce, was dead before the fire began. “W e’re shocked that it h ap p en ed , but w e ’re not shock ed that he got arrested,” said neighbor Ronald Poulin. Police would not com m ent Tuesday on his w ife’s cause of death, the cause of the fire or what led to the arrest. Because the body was so badly burned, a cause of death could not be deter­mined. But in January, preliminary test results showed W argo’s wife died before the fire.

T h e d isc o v e r y o f th e top q u ark , a su b a to m ic p a rtic le whose existence previously had only been suspected, w as con- f i r m e d recently with the assistance o f th r e e o f Notre Dam e’s professors.

T h e ta sk w h ich had eluded physi­c is t s for d e c a d e s involved over 900 scientists and graduate s t u d e n t s am ong whom w e r e P r o f e s s o r R a n d a l R u c h t i ,P r o f e s s o rN r ip en d ra B isw a s , and A ssis ta n t P ro fesso r M itchell Wayne.

The physicists, who operated out of the Fermilab in Batavia, 111., were divided into 2 groups, CDF and DZero, w hich w ere a lso th e n a m es o f th e la r g e multi-purpose detectors used to study the collisions of protons and anti-protons. The groups “sh a r e d co m p lim e n ta r y p h ilo s o p h ie s ” a c c o r d in g to W ayn e, and both p la y ed an equal part in the ground-break­ing discovery.

“There are rare events like I his in the h istory o f sc ien ce and it’s nice to be a part of it. We happen to be the beneficia­ries, but we re standing on the shoulders of lots o f other peo­ple,” said Ruchti.

The quark, discovered in the 1960s, is a subatom ic particle found in the proton of an atom. “It is a strongly interacting par­ticle involved in the essence of the nuclear force. It is one of the fu n d am en ta l e lem en ts of

T h e s ix ty p e s o f q u a r k s th a t e x is t , in c lu d ­ing Up, Down, C h a r m , S t r a n g e , T o p / T r u t h ,

and Bottom / Beauty, differ in m a ss and e le c tr o n ic c h a rg e w ith the top quark b ein g the most massive. The existence of the top quark had b een p re­d ic te d s in c e th e 1 9 6 0 s but could not be proven w ith the th e n e x is t in g m e a n s o f m easurement.

The proof of its existence was difficult not only because of the en o rm o u s am ou n t o f en ergy needed to produce that much m a ss, but a lso b eca u se on ce produced, such a m assive par­ticle deteriorates within a tril- lionth of a trillionth of a second.

In order to create a situation in which a top quark could be p r o d u c e d , th e p h y s ic is t s at Ferm ilab u sed the T evatron , the m ost powerful particle ac­ce le r a to r in the w orld . The Tevatron allows the subatomic particles, protons and anti-pro­tons, to reach speeds near that of light. As the particles speed up, they gain m ass until they f in a lly c o l l id e p r o d u c in g quarks.

must be run num erous times in order to confirm results. “The experim ents go on around the c lo ck a ll y e a r lo n g ,” sa id W ayne. The present group of experim ents started in Novem ­ber 1993 and in vo lves a two year run. Within this time, only around 17 ev e n ts have b een o b se r v e d w h ich m ig h t h a v e produced top quarks.

“It’s a b lo c k b u s te r o f an event, but it needs to be a sta­tistically proven one. We need thousands of discoveries. It’s a slow p ro cess w hich req u ires carefu l analysis; w e ’ve taken in teresting events which have been dribbling in over time. It requires patience, but this kind of d iscovery is w hat su sta in s you in som ething like this- it’s what w e live for,” said Ruchti.

T h e d isc o v e r y o f th e top quark has had significant con­sequences according to the pro­fessors. “The discovery of the top quark confirm s the theory th a t th e r e are s ix ty p e s o f quarks and that there probably aren’t any more. It also tells us how the top quark should d e­cay. We would also love to dis­cover that the top behaves in a r e g u la r w ay or a q u irk y , in other words, new physics w ay,” Ruchti said.

The th r ee p r o fe sso r s h ave b een in vo lved in the p roject s in c e S ep tem b er 1 9 9 0 w h en they introduced the concept of a new detector to the others at F erm ilab. The n ew d etec tor w as not u sed in th e orig in a l discovery of the top quark but will be useful in future probing of the nature and properties of the top quark.

“The experim ents will be up­graded during the next three or fou r y e a r s . N otre D a m e ’s biggest role will com e then us­ing an even more powerful tool for d e te c t in g and stu d y in g properties in more detail,” ac­cording to Ruchti.

T he d isc o v e r y o f th e top quark opens up an entire field of investigation into such seem ­in gly sim p le co n cep ts as the existence of m ass. “The deep problem is where m ass com es from . We d o n ’t rea lly know what mass is, and this is at the fundam ental leve l. The p ur­p o se is to g et at th a t ,” sa id Wayne.

“ By the end of the decade we will know m ore about the top quark and we can also use it as a type of lab. Hopefully, it will lead to lots m ore q u e stio n s ,” said Ruchti.

WVFI requests funds for transition to FMBy BRAD PRENDERGASTAssociate News Editor

Representatives of WVF1-AM m ade a pitch to the Hall Presi­dents’ Council last night, asking for m oney to help them begin the transition to the FM band.

S tev en S ostak p resen te d a budget proposal to the council m em bers seeking $5200 for an FM tr a n s m itte r and a b o u t $ 2 0 0 0 for an a n te n n a . The transmitter, which would have a maximum power output of 50 watts, will be reduced to about 10 watts, Sostak said.

“This will give us about a two to three mile radius in which to b ro a d ca st ,” h e sa id . “W e’re not try in g to pum p out from here to Chicago.”

The proposed area of broad­ca stin g w ould ea s ily en c lo se the cam p u ses of Notre Dam e and Saint M ary’s, as w ell as off-cam p u s area s w h ere stu ­dents reside.

A grant from the HPC would show that the hall p residents strongly support WVFI’s quest to convert to FM, according to Sostak.

“W e’re looking for a concrete capital investm ent in the future o f W V FI,” sa id S o sta k , w ho pointed out that the council has a substantial amount of money in its general fund that must be spent by April 1. If the money is not spent by that date, HPC will lose its claim to it.

“If th ey ’re not going to use th e m oney for o th er m ea n s, they might as well help us out if they think [going to FM] is a good id e a ,” S o sta k a d d e d . “The transm itter and antenna will need to be purchased soon­er or later.”

The budget proposal will go before the HPC’s budget com ­m ittee on March 21, according to Hilary Bonenberger, co-chair of HPC.

As WVFI continues w orking to win approval for the conver­sion to FM from both the Uni­versity and the Federal Com­m un ication s C om m ission, the initial investm ent in new equip­m en t m u st co m e from th e funds of student organizations such as HPC, Sostak said.

The administration will cover the operating budget in the fu­ture if and when the conversion is made, he added.

In related news, surveys ask­ing students if they support the p r o p o se d c o n v e r s io n to FM w ere d istr ib u ted v ia cam p u s mail yesterday.

In other HPC news;■ A petition put forth by stu ­

d en t g o v e r n m e n t r e g a r d in g “diversity and accep tan ce ” is circulating the campus.

The “We are a ll ND/SMC” petition sta tes that those who sign it “believe the adm inistra­tio n ’s trea tm en t o f our co m ­m un ity’s gay, lesb ian and bi­sexual m em bers to be inconsis­tent w ith the values and m is­sion of a Catholic educational institution. ”

It also calls upon “our admin­istration to extend GLND/SMC the sam e rights and recognition afforded other student groups.”

■ T h e S tu d e n t R e la t io n s Council (SRC) proposed by Rich Palermo, co-chair of HPC, was voted down by HPC m em bers,29-8 with two abstentions.

Palermo, who had vigorously pushed for the creation of the SRC, was not available to com ­ment.

ROTC helps clean up campBy CHRISTINA TECSONNews W riter_____________________________

Members of the Notre Dame Chapter of Arnold Air Society made a trip to Camp Ray Bird Saturday for a service project, doing various activities to help upgrade the Christian camp to k eep it su ita b le for h o ld in g sem inars and retreats.

“Some people did dry walling, some people built som e shelves, some people scraped paint off the side of the house and oth­ers were in the kitchen helping to cook for the kids,” said Jen Rubner, public affairs officer of the Notre Dame chapter.

Arnold Air S ociety is a n a ­t io n a l s e r v ic e g ro u p w h ich m em b ers o f Air F orce ROTC can voluntarily jo in after the co m p le tio n o f a c la s s and a pledge to the society’s efforts.

m em ber Katrina Worm an w as approached by a rep resen ta­tive from the Christian camp to do the project, she saw it as a great opportunity for the soci­ety to be of service.

“We saw going to Camp Ray Bird as a fantastic opportunity to provide hands-on community service for underprivileged kids and actually see the results of our labor." said Worman.

Rubner stated that the group was established at Notre Dame “to promote the qualities of be­ing an officer and to help pre­p are u s to be o f f ic e r s . I t ’s turned toward the direction of service because the community needs us.

“I was glad to go out and help u n d e r p r iv ile g e d k id s le a r n about God. It was a lot of fun. I thought Saturday was a good e x p e r ie n c e . I w ou ld do it again,” said Rubner.

The students are hoping to go back in a few w eeks to finish

som e o f the ren ovation s that were started.

The Notre Dam e Chapter of Arnold Air Society has u nd er­taken several other projects in­cluding a field day for under­privileged children of the area last sem ester .

would “keep the Catholic teach­ing on the table.”

“T h a t's w h a t I’m o p en to right now," she said.

W hen O’Hara w as asked by Richard Sheehan, professor of finance, to respond to the fact that other Catholic universities have recogn ized gay and le s ­b ian grou p s, sh e said that in dealing with an issue concern­ing hom osexuality at a Catholic institution, one m ust look at the “p a r tic u la r m ilieu " an d th e “p a r t ic u la r o r g a n iz a t io n in front of it.”

O’Hara, also added that insti­tutions, such as Boston College, Georgetown, Loyola of Chicago, Loyola-Marymount, Providence, and Saint John’s, are “equally divided ” on the issue of recog­n iz in g h o m o s e x u a l s tu d e n t g r o u p s , w h ic h in v o lv e s th e group’s use of facilities, fund­in g , an d th e sp o n so r sh ip o f

activities.Senator John Borkowski, pro­

fessor of psychology, offered to th e S en a te h is story o f how hom osexuality ex ists at Notre D am e. B o rk o w sk i sa id he thought that very few peop le w ho are hom osexual apply to Notre Dam e, considering they know the type of Catholic envi­ronment Notre Dame is. Most u n d erg ra d u a te h o m o se x u a ls w h o are h e r e , a c c o r d in g to B o r k o w sk i, co m e h e r e n ot understanding their hom osexu­ality. “We have not supported their coming to grips with their h o m o s e x u a l ity ,” B o rk o w sk i said, and he asked, “Where do they turn for help?”

Borkowski said that students w ill n ot tu rn to C am p us Ministry because it may provide a position that is “traditional ” an d “u n n a tu r a l” for th em . “T hey w ill turn to other s tu ­

d e n ts for su p p o r t , c o m fo r t, care, and understanding.”

B o r k o w sk i to ld O’H ara to “change this silly position your office is taking, ” and he said it seem ed as if she were “search­ing for reasons to deny recogni­tion” to GLND/SMC.

“Saying recognition is totally off the tab le’ perpetuates the

problem, ” Borkowski said.O’H ara re sp o n d e d , “In my

heart o f hearts, I don’t believe we can grant recognition to a group that is philosophically in con sisten t w ith the Catholic teaching.”

O’H ara sa id th a t C am pus Ministry cannot be com pletely taken “off the table,” especially since there is flexibility in the conversations between students an d m e m b e r s o f C am pus Ministry. When students recog­n iz e th e ir h o m o se x u a lity in these conversations, according

to O’Hara, “those conversations still go on.”

Associate Professor of history K athleen Biddick q u estio n ed O’Hara on how “cru c ia l ” the is s u e o f c h a stity w a s to h er argument.

O’H ara r e sp o n d e d th a t ch astity w as not the b a sis o f her decision. She restated that sh e foun d “w h a t th e grou p believes is acceptable behavior” to be “philosophically inconsis­tent.”

B ill E a g a n , an E m er itu s Faculty m em ber and professor of m anagem ent, asked O’Hara, “How does the administration decide which Church doctrines to enforce?”

A ccord ing to O’Hara, th ese d o ctrin es in clu d e the “m oral tea c h in g s o f the C hurch, the comm unal aspects of the com ­m u n ity , and th e b e h a v io r a l aspects of the students.”

In response to this aspect of O’Hara’s letter, Blandford, who spoke at Pangborn Hall Monday night, said the statem ent was “taken out of context.”

A cc o rd in g to O’H ara, w ho said sh e is “the last voice on recognition issu es,” she looked at the entire ten-page applica­tion “as a w h ole” and that its “p h ilo sop h ica l in co n sisten cy ” w a s w h a t m ad e h er d e c id e against granting recognition to GLND/SMC.

“I made the decision with the con su ltation of my sta ff,” she said.

As “a broader issue,” O’Hara m entioned her concern of how “w e can enhance our efforts to m eet the needs of our gay and lesbian students.” This broad­er q uestion in clu d es a llow ing hom osexual students to “com e together in a manner still con­sum m ate to Church teaching.”

O’H ara m en tion ed that the com m ittee she proposed in her letter, would serve to give her a d v ic e “a b o u t th a t b r o a d e r issue.”

B e fo r e sh e r e sp o n d e d to q u e s t io n s from th e f lo o r , O’H ara m e n tio n e d th a t h er d ecision to form a com m ittee m ay n o t b e w h a t e v e r y o n e wants, but it is “a way of mov­ing forward.”

UN courts not always usedBy MATTHEW LOUGHRANNews W riter

“The principal judicial organ of the United Nations” was dis­cussed by a Columbia Law pro­fe s so r y e s te r d a y at th e I le sb u r g h C en ter for International Peace Studies.

T h e C o lle g e o f A rts and Letters sp onsered the lecture by Lori F is le r -D a m r o sc h o f C o lu m b ia U n iv e r s ity Law S c h o o l. P r o fe s so r F is le r - Dam rosch's particular area of expertise is International Law.

The title o f her lecture w as “T h e R ole o f In te r n a tio n a l C ourts in th e C ontrol o f V io len ce”. The in ternational courts she mentioned were the In te r n a tio n a l C ourt o f th e Justice (which she described as "the principle judicial organ of the United Nations”), and indi­vidual tribunals that are con ­vened by the United Nations for the purpose of evaluating sp e­cific transgressions.

The ICJ is made up of fifteen judges from different countries. The ju risd iction of the ICJ is “lim ited to d isp u tes b etw een states on the basis of their con­sent and to requests for adviso­ry opinions that can be m ade by certain UN organs".

This lim its the capability of the court to control v io len ce b eca u se it can only m ed ia te when a member state asks it to. Another lim itation is that the cases that are brought to the ICJ are m ost o ften a fter th e fact.

Two types of cases regarding deadly conflict are brought to I he attention of the ICJ: border disputes and cases which hope to avoid disputes over norm a­tive principles.

In boundary disputes, “the court m ay be asked to d eter­m ine authoritatively and with f in a lity a b o u n d a r y d isp u te betw een countries that o ther­wise would be tempted to fight, or might even actually be fight­ing over the territory in ques­tion” Fisler-Damrosch said.

An ex a m p le o f th is w a s a recen t border d ispute over a strip of land between Libya and Chad. The ICJ aw ard ed the territory to Chad and a peace­keeping force that w as sent to moniter the progress of the res­o lu tion . It w as fin ished in a record forty days.

The normative cases that are b rou gh t to lig h t are u su a lly treaty v io la tion s or ap paren t acts o f aggression . One such case is “the genocide case initi­ated by the Republic of Bosnia- H e r z o g o v in ia a g a in s t th e F e d e r a l R ep u b lic s o f Y u g o s la v ia , S e r b ia , and M o n te n e g r o ” . T h is c a s e requested United Nations sanc­t io n s a g a in s t th o s e th r ee rep u b lics for a lle g e d acts o f g e n o c id e and h a s y e t to be ruled upon.

T h e ICJ’s d e c is io n s are b a ck ed up by th e m u sc le of United Nations Security Council s a n c t io n s . T h e se a re th e actions that the International Court o f Ju stice tak es in the interest of stopping violence.

The other type o f in tern a ­tional court that can be used to control violence is an individual tribunal convened for a specific p urpose. Such tr ib u n als are generally convened in the case of w ar crim es and in trasta te crimes against human rights.

For example, tribunals of this sort have been set up to investi­gate the crim es in Rwanda and

Speaking Tuesday at his daily new s conference, Gingrich said som e school program s offered to counter discrim ination give hom osexuals a forum for pro­moting their way of life.

“ I don’t think we want people o u t w ith ‘H ea th er H as T w o M om m ies,’ in first grad e e x ­plaining that hom osexuality is a r e a s o n a b le a lte r n a t iv e in lifestyle,” Gingrich said.

“You have had, clearly, e x ­am ples of what is in effect re­cruitment in so-called counsel­ing program s, ” Gingrich said. “So I’m very cautious about the idea that you want to have ac­tive hom osexuals in junior high school and high school explain­ing to young people that they have all these various wonder­

Ferreira said of his program, ‘‘No, i t ’s n ot H o m o sex u a lity 101.” Rather, the program pro­vides counseling for gay teens facing animosity in their fami­l ie s or a m o n g fr ie n d s , and includes presentations to class­e s “w ork ing tow ard an open and affirming learning environ­m ent for all children, regard­le s s o f th e ir s e x u a l o r ie n ­tation.”

Judge rules for one set of standardsBy SHELIA HARD WELLAssociated Press

Instead, the state must estab­lish one set of admissions stan­dards for all eight of its univer­sities, U.S. District Judge Neal Riggers ruled. They now vary from school to school, with less stringent requ irem ents at the black institutions.

Furtherm ore, the state must redistribute many of its higher education program s, p articu ­larly on the graduate level, and spend about $30 million to beef up the mostly black schools.

In 1992, the high court told Biggers to address four issues: adm issions, duplication of pro­grams, m issions, and the num ­ber of schools.

To the dismay of students and advocates of black colleges and universities, the state respond­ed with a plan to shut down one of its three h istorica lly black sc h o o ls — M ississ ip p i V alley State — and m erge its 2 ,3 0 0 s tu d e n ts in to n ea rb y D elta S tate, one o f five h istorica lly white schools.

United Nations debates global living standardsMrs. Clinton addresses delegationBy MATTI HUUHTANENAssociated Press_________________________

COPENHAGEN H illa ry R odh am C lin ton

urged rich nations Tuesday to spend le ss on w eap ons, m ore on p e o p le and to ta k e m o re tim e w ith th e ir children.

In a stop at a d a y -c a r e c e n te r , sh e to ld p a ren ts th a t a U .N . Clintonpoverty sum ­mit in Copenhagen w as aimed at improving social conditions.

“But the whole point of doing that is to have stronger re la ­tionships with other people and stro n g er fam ily s tr u c tu r e s ,” Mrs. Clinton said, sipping a cup of coffee.

“ I do think that both mothers and fathers have to work out how to spend m ore tim e with their children.”

Earlier, Mrs. Clinton told del­egates at the 183-nation pover­ty sum m it that countries were wasting money on “weapons of m ass destruction ... and doing violence to basic human rights.

“This forum is about putting people first. And putting people first requ ires rea lis tic , w ork­able solutions to complex prob­lem s,” she said.

The C linton ad m in istration has proposed a 1996 m ilitary budget of $246 billion.

At the d ay-care cen ter , the ch ild ren ’s faces w ere painted w ith A m e r ica n an d D a n ish flags. Their parents engaged in a lively discussion of child-rear­ing problems with Mrs. Clinton.

“ This is an excitin g day for u s ,” said Karen, a 9-year-o ld girl who spends an hour every day at th e s ta te -r u n c e n te r . “ The U.S. p res id e n t’s w ife is great.”

But Mrs. Clinton’s speech at th e su m m it did n ot se e m to m ake up for President Clinton’s a b s e n c e , w h ich h a s c o m ­pounded a feeling of futility at th e w e e k -lo n g m e e tin g . The chief U.S. representative will be Vice President A1 Gore instead.

The United States and other wealthy nations are considering cuts in foreign aid, leaving the sum m it to focus on w hat gov­ernm ents and aid groups can do on their own. Most propos­als for action by rich countries have been watered down.

Mrs. Clinton used the forum to promote the Clinton adminis­tra tio n ’s drive to ex ten d the n u c le a r N o n -P r o life r a t io n Treaty, signed by 172 nations. Several countries that have not s ig n ed th e tre a ty are at th e conference.

COPENHAGENDiscord over money, and how

to sp en d it, sta lled p ro g ress Tuesday at a summit on pover­ty as d e le g a te s jo s t le d over ways to raise global living stan­dards.

A fter tw o d ays o f the U.N. World Summit for Social Devel­op m en t, d e le g a te s w ere still trying to work out provisions on foreign aid, debt relief and education funding.

The issu es w ere am ong the m ost con ten tiou s at the su m ­mit, the first attempt to reach g lob a l c o n se n su s on fightin g poverty, and unemployment.

Nearly 9 ,000 delegates from 183 nations flowed through the sp raw lin g con ven tion center, m a k in g a c e n tr a l h a ll look more like an international train station than a summit meeting.

P iles o f colorful b roch u res, posters and booklets were scat­tered in corridors, form ing an obstacle course of issues — lit­era lly and figuratively — for delegates and journalists at the w eek long session.

The su m m it is su p p osed to ham m er out a final docum ent to be signed Sunday by nearly 120 national leaders, including Vice President A1 Gore, German C han cellor H elm ut Kohl and more than 100 other leaders.

Agreem ent has been reached on c a lls for eq u a l r ig h ts for w om en , b etter ed u cation for girls, improved access to health

care and more jobs for the ru­ral poor.

But a caucus of 132 poorer n a tio n s on T u esd a y a ll but ru led out overa ll ta rg e ts for anti-poverty spending.

The proposal to call upon na­tions to set a target of 20 per­cent of dom estic spending for s o c ia l w e lfa r e ran a g ro u n d when several delegates resisted any conditions on aid m oney, sa id V en ez u e la ’s m in ister of fa m ily , M e rc ed es P u lid o de Briceno.

D elegates said the id ea still could be preserved in principle but would be limited to bilater­al a g r e e m e n ts . T h at m ea n s countries would be left to work ou t sp en d in g g o a ls on th e ir own, without accounting to the United Nations.

Still, som e U.N. officials said the fact that the idea was alive c o u ld be c o n s id e r e d an achievement.

“ We still consider it im por­tant, i t ’s a departure p o in t,” said Jean-Claude Faby, director o f p olicy coord in ation at the U.N. office on sustainab le d e­velopment.

Frankfurt p rosecu tor Hans- H erm ann Eckert sh o w ed the complaint to reporters Tuesday.

One a lleg ed ly forged d o cu ­m en ts, S ingap ore au th orities said, is a letter purporting to be from the New York trading firm Spear Leeds and Kellogg, con­fir m in g it w a s p a y in g for a trading contract.

Eckert said it was impossible to tell from the copies that he had whether Hogan’s signature was forged.

Canada involved in

disputeAssociated Press

ST. JOHN’SFishing boats from Spain and

Portugal stopped casting nets for turbot T uesday, throwing water on a sm oldering dispute over European a cc ess to the fish on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.

Earlier in the day, Canada and Spain had set their navy ships on a collision course in the North A tlantic to defend their fishing fleets’ rights, and Canadian and European Union officials vowed to stand their ground.

The Canadian B roadcasting Corporation reported Tuesday th a t a d e s tr o y e r , th e T erra N ova , h ea d ed ou t to s e a to await further orders.

In M adrid , a g o v e r n m e n t sp o k e sm a n sa id S p a in w a s sending a navy patrol ship to accompany the Spanish fishing fleet.

“ I hope now is the m om ent for d ia logu e, ” said C anada’s F ish eries M inister, Brian T o­bin.

By la te T u esd ay , ab out 39 Spanish boats had left a d is­puted a rea ab out 2 3 0 m iles east of Newfoundland. A dozen Portuguese ships also stopped fishing but were holding their positions on the Grand Banks.

The latest dispute began Fri­day w hen Canada threatened to board European ships to en ­force international quotas for turbot, a fla tfish A m erican s encounter m ost frequently in fish sticks.

C anada and the E u rop ean Union have been battling over their shares of turbot in inter­n a tio n a l w a te r s o u ts id e Canada’s 200-m ile territorial limit.

Until last September, the tur­bot catch w as unregulated. But fish ing fleets hit hard by the loss of cod and other Atlantic fish have se t their s ig h ts on turbot, called Greenland h al­ibut in Europe.

In som e instances, I wonder how we ever becam e friends; it seem s that we have very little or perhaps nothing in com ­mon.

ground with other people, and I think this is unfortunate. Based on my own experiences, I believe that an inability to com m unicate with people different from ou rselves m ight deprive us of som e of the best friends we might find.

H ecently. a Los A n ge les-b ased p sy ­chologist, Robert Butterworth, compiled a questionnaire for people to take if they w ere concerned that they were becom ­ing o b sesse d w ith the S im pson case . Although I am no one to m ake fun of O.J. “addicts”, as a person who has been d iagn osed w ith o b sessiv e-co m p u lsiv e disorder herself. I would have to ser i­ously w onder about those responding “yes" to som e of these questions. For exam ple, one question is whether your productivity at work has slipped as a r> suit of m onitoring the trial. Another q uestion asks w h eth er you daydream about the case w hen involved in som e < i h er a c tiv ity . Y et a n o th er q u ery is \ bother you have missed m eals, sleep, or social events because you could not tea r y o u r s e lf from th e te le v is io n . Som eone who an sw ers such questions affirmatively, with all due respect, might

need real help.H ow ever, k eep in g up w ith the trial

events in, moderation would not seem to m e to be a p rob lem . In fact, p utting aside for the m om ent my bias against m edia involvem ent in the judicial sy s­tem, 1 would even argue that it is good to catch a few m inutes of the trial dur­in g lu n ch or to w a tch th e re ca p s at night. I say this because the O.J. trial is som ething that seem s to be of at least som e in terest to everyone. T herefore, fo llo w in g its co v era g e m ight g ive us som ething to talk about with people of diverse backgrounds-and for those of us who have not becom e obsessed with it (another of Butterw orth’s questions is w h e th e r w e a rg u e w ith our fr ie n d s about the case), it may have less ten ­dency to move us to fighting about our differences than issues like abortion or capital punishment. Butterworth him self c o m m e n te d th a t p e o p le b e c o m e so en tan g led in the ca se b eca u se it has “som ething for everyone.” And indeed it offers a wide panoply, involving a as it does sex, violence, and celebrities all at once. It is a com bination of a murder mystery, a soap opera and a horror film. It is true, and as such it is inherently much m ore captivating than the made- up and often unbelievable plots of soap operas. And perhaps m ost importantly, a wide range of issu es are involved in the case, at least one of which is almost guaranteed to capture any given per­son’s attention. There are issues of wife- b ea tin g , o f in te rr a c ia l m a rr ia g es, o f police m isconduct, and more. Not least of all, the case involves one of the most prominent football heroes of our time. In sh o r t, th e c a se h as th e p o te n tia l to appeal to an extrem ely diverse group of people.

As such, the Simpson coverage gives people from com pletely different back­grounds som ething they can share. In­deed, I have noticed that my conversa­tion s w ith m ere a cq u a in ta n c es h ave b eco m e r ich er w h en w e d isc u ss the trial, and I have even chatted with com ­plete strangers about the case. 1 admit

01k

that, for me, talking to strangers is not rare-I will talk to alm ost anyone. But the Simpson case seem s to give added depth to such interactions.

And if the coverage of O.J.’s case can facilitate communication between virtu­al strangers, it has even greater poten­t ia l to b rin g us c lo se r to g e th e r w ith friends and family members. As Chicago T rib u n e c o lu m n is t C la re n c e P age recently observed, society has becom e more fragmented as more television and cable channels have becom e available- channels which cater to just about every in terest im aginable. We have QVC, for home shoppers, w e have Lifetime, which often advertises its features as “televi­sion for w om en”; we have video chan­nels, which cater primarily to teenagers, and w e have the W eather Channel, for those of us who just can ’t get enough meteorology. While this specialization of the networks is good in that it provides en h a n c ed en ter ta in m en t for v ariou s ty p e s o f p e o p le , it d o e s im p e d e com m unication . For it m ean s that, in more instances, different types of people will have less to talk about w ith each other. In other words, it limits our abili­ty to make friends.

In this sen se , the coverage o f O.J.’s trial is a positive thing. If we keep up with the trial, we will have at least one

thing in common with millions of other people. We will have a w ay to start a conversation with som eone when thqre may not be anything else we could d is­cu ss with him or her. As Page put it, “American society craves som ething like the Sim pson trial and its w a ll-to -w all co v e r a g e as w e b eco m e m ore f r a g ­mented, less connected to our neighbors or even to our own family m em bers than we used to be. It gives us som ething in common to get excited about and talk to each other about w ithout fighting, the way discussions of religion and politics (make us fight).” Viewed from this per­spective. keeping abreast of the events in th e S im p so n tr ia l m ig h t b o th stren gth en our ex istin g re la tio n sh ip s and help us form new ones by creating a line of com m unication w here perhaps none existed before. And despite all the tragedy involved in the Simpson case. I would argue that this is at least one pos­itive thing we can say about the whole matter.

Butterworth posits that “maybe televi­sion execu tion s w ill be n e x t .” At this juncture he loses m e, for several rea ­sons, which I will not go into here. But as long as we stick to the Simpson trial, I think w e’ll be doing just fine.

Troop ND dances across racial barrierDear Editor:

T he p ast few d ays h ave b rou gh t a negative reaction towards a certain act performed by the Humor Artists. As Co- President of TND and one of the produc­ers of the show, I would like to help alle­viate the tension and apologize to the Notre Dame com m unity and especially the Latino Community that was offended by the act. The act under scrutiny por­trayed two Latinos as m aintenance men w ho could n eith er speak English nor adequately respond to an English speak­in g p e r s o n , m ak in g th em look in ­com petent and incapable. I realize the fact that it was done with comedic inten­tions, but I don't feel as if it w as an appropriate act in our show.

Our Campus Wide Talent Show w as assem bled to bring the campus together by d isp laying the spectrum of ta len ts

that the cam pus has to offer, and like any other TND event, to spread multi- culturalism. I deeply regret that the con­tent of the Humor Artists’ act was over­looked during screen in gs prior to the show, and 1 can assure you that none of the views of the Humor Artists are those of Troop Notre Dame or the TND com ­munity.

Troop Notre Dame is known as one of the most diverse clubs on cam pus, and many of our supporters are of the Latino community. The fact that our perform ­ing group consists of five Filipinos, five Latin A m e r ic a n s , tw o A fr ica n Americans, and three Caucasians, is evi­dence that our group has a global m ake­up. T h e p u r p o se o f th e g ro u p , our d a n c es , and ev e ry th in g w e do, is to show the urban side of the campus and spotlight the diverse backgrounds from

which many of our club m em bers come.On a cam pus w here m inorities make

up such a sm all percentage of the stu­d en t b od y , th e re is a v ery fin e lin e between racial humor and racial stereo­typing or prejudice.

T h ose o f us w ho are h ere at Notre Dame representing our respective race or n a tio n a lity are v er y prou d and expressive when it com es to culture. At the sam e time, w e are also very sen si­tive to anything that feels like an attack on or o f fe n s e to ou r d if f e r e n c e s in ap p earan ce, m ann erism s, and/or cu l­tures. It is a very sensitive subject on both sides of the racial barrier, and only co o p era tio n from ev e ry o n e at N otre Dame will facilitate the handling of this issue.

Campus Republicans defend administrationDear Editor:

It is a p p a r e n t th a t GLND/SMC and a fair amount of the student body and faculty have missed the point entirely a b o u t th e a d m in is tr a t io n ’s d e c is io n to n ot r e c o g n iz e GLND/SMC as a le g it im a te club. In the midst of their con­fusion of the issue, they have la b e le d th o se o p p o s in g the recogn ition of GLND/SMC as “h e a r t le ss and in se n s it iv e ”, "homophobes ”, and our p er­sonal favorite, “arian-nazi’s .”

It seem s that only the propo­nents of GLND/SMC are vastly open-m inded, and the rest of us—those against the legitim a­cy of GLND/SMC—are tunnel- v is io n e d , m isg u id e d ,p rotection ist, se lf-r ig h teo u s, ignorant fascists. Well, to clear up this m isconception, let us make it clear.

We are at a private Catholic school. The administration and

the stu d en t body under that adm inistration are to exactly follow the rules and charters o f th e C a th o lic C h u rch , o f which the administration lays out clearly in Du Lac. This is u n d isp u ted . It is fu r th er to note that the only way for one to be Catholic and homosexual is to be celibate. This is also u ndisputed . If one p ro fesses that he or she is a hom osexu­al, the church con sid ers this “morally neutral.”

T he U n iv e r s ity o f N otre Dam e, then, has clearly out­lin ed the m oral and e th ica l sta n d a rd s th a t it w ish e s its community to abide by, to fol­low, and to promote. So here is the point that n eed s to be m ade c lea r (p rop on en ts pay attention). The ambition of any club is threefold. The first to e d u ca te m em b ers and n o n ­mem bers (about whatever the clu b ’s issu e/p u rp ose is). The

second is to generate d iscu s­sion about the is su e s w ithin and throughout the club. The third is to promote the beliefs th a t th e club p u r su e s upon prior didactic d iscourse. It is th e th ird a m b itio n o f GLND/SMC that n eed s to be addressed more clearly.

N o w h ere in th e c o n s t itu ­t io n s , e ith e r fo rm er ly or presently, did GLND/SMC con­demn any type of homosexual activity. The closest they came w as that th ey did not “co n ­demn or condone any type of activ ity b etw een h o m o se x u ­a l s ”, w h ic h is to sa y th a t GLND/SMC is indifferent about the homosexual activities of its members.

To be su re , the U niversity and the Church are not indif­ferent. It is quite clear that any type of hom osexual activity is c o n s id e r e d c o u n te r to th e b elie fs o f the church , o f the

Bible, and of Du Lac. There is no p r o m o tio n o f c e lib a c y a m o n g h o m o s e x u a ls by GLND/SMC. There is no co n ­demnation of sexual activity by GLND/SMC. This is exactly why p a rt o f th e a m b itio n o f GLND/SMC is in direct opposi­tion with the administration.

Certainly education and dis­cussion about sexuality is not counter to Du Lac... un less it prom otes som eth in g counter to it. So if GLND/SMC believes that hom osexual activity is not co n d em n a b le , m arking it as legitimate and moral practice, and it re fu se s to d iscou rage hom osexual activity, it then is a discerning promotion of that type of activity. r

Those who oppose the legiti­m a tio n o f GLND/SMC (w e sp e a k e s p e c ia l ly for th e College R epublicans and the administration) do not oppose GLND/SMC b eca u se they are

gay and lesbian and we have th is irrational fear of h om o­sexuals. We oppose because it is ou r c o n v ic t io n th a t GLND/SMC, however indiscreet and su b tle , prom otes va lu es th a t a re c o n tr a r y to th e ch u rch , th e a d m in istra tio n , and the standards set forth by Du Lac.

If there was controversy and d iscr ep a n c y ab ou t th e c o n ­stitution and activity of a pro- adultery. or p ro-ch oice club, they both would fall under the sam e scrutiny. This is an issue about following rules and stan­dards, not about homophobia.

Different folks, different strokesDear Editor:

I have been following with interest the debate over Notre Dame’s stance towards homosexual organiza­tions. As an u n d ergrad u ate I a tten d ed W illiam s College, and 1 think my experience with these issues there might be relevant to the current debate.

For those advocating acceptance of homosexuality, Williams was a dream come true. The Bisexual Gay Lesbian Union had the unw avering support of the ad m in istration , C ollege Council funding, its ow n building to m eet in, and overwhelm ing support from the student body. The Chaplain’s office was unequiv­ocal in its support of homosexuality. Those misguided enough to suggest that the hom osexual lifestyle was less than optimal were immediately pilloried by the en tire co lleg e com m unity. A nything approach ing harassm ent of homosexuals was grounds for im medi­ate removal from the college. (A good friend of mine w as su sp e n d ed in d e fin ite ly for im p e rso n a tin g a known homosexual and jokingly asking a heterosexu­al hockey player out on a date.) Everything possible w as done to w elcom e hom osexuals; my freshm an year the college abolished “Screw Your Roommate” dances (in which roommates got blind dates for each other) because this might make hom osexuals uncom­fortable.

Yet this com prehensively accepting environm ent did not result in the blissful integration of hom osexu­als into the college community. If anything, the oppo­site look place. Homosexuals routinely (and with the tacit permission of the Dean’s office) vandalized side­w alk s and b u ild in gs w ith o b scen e graffiti. (This included our chapel; the chaplain approvingly likened lhis to Martin Luther nailing his ninety-five theses on the church door.) During “Queer Pride W eek” homo­sexuals would “come out” in the Daily Advisor (a sort o f all cam p u s n ew sle tter ) w ith se x u a lly ex p lic it descriptions of the sorts of behavior they were inter­ested in p ursuing. In the stu d en t union (a p lace w here anyone, including children, could frequent) l here w as for som e time a display advertising the

IBisexual Gay Lesbian Union with pictures of people engaged in various forms of homosexual intercourse. My senior year a lesbian student got into a fight at the local pub with som eone (not a student) who spoke slightingly of her sexual orientation, poured beer on the bartender when he told her to leave the establish­ment, and then assaulted a police officer who stopped her to find out why she was violently kicking a store­front.

I don’t pretend to explain this phenom enon. And clearly this history does not in itself resolve the ques­tion o f w heth er or not hom osexual organ izations should be recogn ized h ere at N otre D am e. But I would suggest that those of you who are undecided on this issue should take a long hard look at the re­sults (in my college and others) o f granting official recognition to hom osexual organizations. For I am quite confident that the state of affairs at Williams is not one that most at Notre Dame would find conge­nial.

According to the teaching of the Church, the tradi­tions of Christianity, and the explicit statem ents of the Bible, homosexual acts cannot be condoned. We are of course called to love everyone, hom osexuals included, always rem em bering that each and every one of us are sinners saved only by the grace of God. But loving hom osexuals does not m ean condoning their sin, recognizing their organization, or working to establish at Notre Dame the environment I experi­enced at Williams.

The last ..Dear Editor:

I am writing to thank The Observer for printing C harles R oth’s en lig h ten in g colum n, “An Open Letter to Tom D ooley...” (March 3, 1995). I was both amazed by and envious of Mr. Roth’s ability to act as a m outhpiece not only for a man who has b een dead alm ost thirty-five years now, but for God him self. More im portant, perhaps, than the aw e I feel for Mr. Roth is the fact that, after read­ing his editorial, I was finally moved to take action in the GLND/SMC debate.

A s a r a th e r s e l f - c o n s c io u s m e m b e r o f th e straight community at Notre Dame, 1 have been a bit slow to dem onstrate my feelin gs concerning GLND/SMC (adm ittedly, out of an im m ature and misguided fear of being mistaken for a m em ber of the organization, rather than seen as one o f its supporters). Yet, after the excruciating few m in­utes it took me to read and absorb a pageful o f Mr. Roth's pontificatlon, I felt the need to do som e­thing. For w hat could I do, after subjecting m yself to such a high-handed, self-righteous display, than to promptly affix a pink triangle to my door and a purple ribbon to my backpack?

And I will not, I can assure you, be m issing any m ore GLND/SMC rallies. It may not be much, but it sure feels like a pretty good start. And I am con­fident that if drivel o f the sort offered by Mr. Roth is really all the “other” side has to offer, there is no possible way that GLND/SMC can lose.

Although I found it so very charitable of Mr. Roth to share with us his conviction that God has proba­bly forgiven h om osexuals (including Dr. Dooley himself, thank heavens) for their sins, I share his apprehension over whether “the rest of u s” will be forgiven. And in his concern for the state of his ow n sou l, I hope Mr. Roth w ill rem em b er one thing: according to the Church, sexual orientation is not a sin. However, blatant discrimination and excessive pride are.

Charlie King,

The O bserver/Photo Courtsey of C enter for the H om elessCharlie King brings his m usical charm to the C enter for the H o m eless tonight at 7 :00 p.m.

By KRISTA NANNERYAccent Editor

C harlie King is a member o f a d y in g b ree d o f A m erican perform ers—

h e is an aw ard w in n in g folk singer and a gifted story-teller and a w eaver of magic as well. His en tertain in g m usical style invites sing-a-longs, and at the sa m e t im e , h o ld s im p o r ta n t m e ssa g e s for g e n e r a tio n s to come. He writes politically and socially topical songs with lyrics lik e , “Is th is a w e s te r n ? B anditos sto le our can a l/ Did you say Ollie N orth? S p ittin ’ im age of John W ayne, my old pal/ W as that Grenada or the OK C o rr a l? ” (If you h a d n ’t g u e s s e d , th a t o n e ’s a b o u t Ronald Reagan.)

King’s music and songs have b een recorded and perform ed by such artists as Arlo Guthrie, Ronnie Gilbert, Holly Near, and Pete Seeger, who gives absolute testim ony to King’s talent. Pete Seeger says of King, “One of the m ost brilliant and agile singers an d so n g w r ite r s I know o f .” T h e N ew H aven A d v o c a te nam ed him Best Folk Music Act 1991.

“W hen I get up to do a con­cert, my primary goal is to en­

te r ta in ,” sa id K ing. “T h a t’s why I’m able to make a living at this. People w ho com e to the concert are not going to get my p o lit ic a l p e r s p e c t iv e on th e world. They’re going to get a series of stories that are funny or touching or entertaining.”

Many of Kings’ songs carry a social m essage, perhaps a r e ­sult o f his involvem ent in the Catholic Worker Movement and of his concerned involvem ent in V ietn a m p r o te s t s . A nd a l­though each song may be subtly in te r tw in e d w ith a c a ll for action, his music does not take on an overbearing and preach­ing tone. He incoporates con­temporary subjects with a folk- m u sic a ttitu d e in so n g s lik e “Acceptable Risks, ” an anti-nu­clear piece. Other songs of his include, “Ballad of Anita Hill” and “Are You N ow , Or H ave You Ever Been, A Member of A Union?” He says, “I like to sing son gs about ordinary p eop le. My so n g s are fille d w ith the hope, courage and humor of fi- esty, rebellious people.”

The entertaining singer de­s c r ib e s h is m u sic as “C eltic Latino fusion sca t.” Billboard m agazine says of King, “W ith encouraging regularity, Charlie King em erges from his self-re-

f le c tio n to rem in d u s o f th e happy resilience of the hum an spirit. His m essage songs vary b e tw e e n th e fu n n y an d th e frightening, but he pulls them off with unvarying taste, m usi­ca l sk ill, and c h a r m .” A lto ­

Notre Dame’s Little Black BookBy DAN CICHALSKIAccent W riter

Expulsion. Oooh, chills run up and d o w n th e sp in e ju s t th in k in g about it. To have it happen, to

you or som eone you know, could nearly ruin your life. At Notre Dame today, ex ­pulsions are rare when compared to the younger days of this university. Perhaps due to more lenient rules, dism issal is the p u n ish m en t for only the m ost w ick ed w r o n g d o in g s . As an ex a m p le o f the strictness back in 1863, it w as required that any books brought to Notre Dame by a s tu d e n t m u st be e x a m in e d and approved by an administrator before per­m itted on cam pus. Today, that regu ­lation w ould probably rule out h a lf of stud en ts’ personal book collections, not to mention a few m agazine subscriptions.

T h is w e e k ’s p e r u sa l th r o u g h th e University Archives involved encounter­ing what is known as “The Black Book. ” This black book has nothing to do with lad ies’ phone num bers. Instead, it is a register of students dism issed from Notre Dame betw een 1867 and 1880. What you are about to read are reenactm ents of actual events as they happened and as th e y r e su lte d in e x p u ls io n from th e University of Notre Dame more than 100 years ago.

The first case com es from the 1867-68 academ ic year. At this time and through­out the Black Book era, students w ere forbidden to leave the university grounds without perm ission from their parents, and even then permission w as often lim­ited to home visits. This account deals with two students we will call “William” and “B r ia n ” w ho a ttem p ted to le a v e Notre Dame one afternoon. Upon exiting campus, they had the unfortunate luck of p a s s in g th e P r e fe c t o f D isc ip lin e . Naturally, the Prefect told the vagrants to return to campus. Will, weakened at the confrontation, succumbed and ran back to his room. Brian, the more rebellious lad, continued on his way to a wild night in nineteenth-century South Bend. The next morning Brian was called to a m eet­ing with the President, V ice President,

and the Prefect and it was decided that he w ould not be allow ed back into the university. Even after this incident, his p a r tn e r - in -c r im e W ill tr ie d h is lu ck again, sneak ing away num erous tim es, and was also eventually expelled. Such incidents of leaving campus occurred fre­quently and were the grounds for many of the expulsions during this time.

The fo llow in g year, the rule again st “objectional books” was tested by three students. A student w e will identify as “Matthew” w as caught with an “obscene book,” though the Black Book does not specify w hat the book w as or w hat he was doing with it. The book was confis­cated and the student was released from the school. An investigation followed and it was discovered that although Matt was caught with the book, he w as not respon­s ib le for b r in g in g it to N otre D am e.

t ;‘ he most common reasons for students to be expelled

during this time period were for leaving the campus grounds and seeking alcohol, specifically whiskey.’

W hen th e r e s p o n s ib le su p p lie r w a s revealed, he too was expelled. After see­in g tw o o f h is c la s s m a te s e x p u lse d b eca u se o f th is book, another stud en t cracked. “David” becam e so concerned that he too would be implicated that he w ent to the administration and confessed to his part in the m atter. It w as later revealed that he had read the book. The horror! David withdrew from the univer­sity for fear of being expelled.

Other small, unique incidents occurred d u rin g th e 1 8 6 8 -6 9 sc h o o l y ea r that resu lted in expulsions. One fellow was caught after spending several nights in South Bend and was dism issed for being known as a “fast young m an.” Another, “J o s e p h ,” h ad g o n e in to to w n and returned quite drunk, only to be co n ­fronted by the Prefect of Discipline. Not com pletely in control of his actions, Joe

c h a lle n g e d th e P r e fe c t to a figh t; m om ents la ter he b egged to hug him. The administration sent another student home for “repeatedly becom ing intoxi­ca ted ” on Christm as Day to sh ow that th ey w o u ld n o t to le r a te w h a t th ey deem ed to be inappropriate behavior.

Perhaps the m ost intrigu ing incident occurred in 187 4 . It b ecam e ev id en t after read in g through the Black Book that many students wanted to be expelled and w ould act accordingly. “C harles” stands out as a more creative executor of th is p lan . A ccord in g to th e r e g ister , Chuck was “addicted to grum bling” and his main complaint was that Notre Dame was too religious. He argued further that the school did not grant enough liberty for men of his age and declared his inten­tion s o f b e in g ex p e lled as if he w ere declaring his entrance into the race for President of the United States. Needless to say, his wish was soon granted and he le ft a d isgru n tled m an, p erh ap s soon finding a job as a postal worker. Now, for anyone who still may feel such senti­ments about the religious character here, at least this institution has progressed during the last 120 years.

The fin a l a ffa ir in v o lv es a group of Domers known by the administration as “T he D irty N in e t e e n .” T he D irty N ineteen w ere “a lot of scam pish ly in ­clined gents who absented them selves in a body from the study hall one afternoon, went to town, and cam e hom e at night with m ore liquor concealed about their p erso n s th an th ey cou ld w e ll ca r r y .” Only sev en o f the n in e te en , h ow ever , were dism issed from the school.

After reading through the Black Book, it becam e apparent that the m ost com ­mon reasons for students to be expelled during this time period were for leaving the campus grounds and seeking alcohol, specifically whiskey. Oftentimes the stu­d en ts w ould in itia lly be rep rim an d ed with a detention sen ten ce w hich m any refused to carry out, and w ere su b se ­quently let go altogether. Still, intoxi­cated or sober, it would probably be a bad idea to try to pick a fight w ith an administrator. A hug might help, though.

“ I’d rather not play if w e’re going to lose and if they sit on their hands as far as gettin g other p layers, I still m ight retire again,” he said.

Haley said that money was not a fac­tor in his decision.

“ If a team treats me right and treats me like a man with dignity, then I don’t worry about the m oney,” he said. “I did not want to retire on a loss.

“The San Francisco game was a night­mare I have to put to rest,” he said. “ I have to face it.”

H aley sa id he b egan ch a n g in g h is mind when he was in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.

“ I ta lk e d to (b r o a d c a s te r ) F rank Gilford and he told me I should stay in there because you don’t want to retire when you can still play,” he said.

H aley a lso reca lled a con versa tion with Cowboys public relations director Rich Dalrymple.

“ Rich said he thought I should come back and he told m e, Hey, guy, I love y o u ,’ and n ob od y ev er told m e th a t before,” he said. “I guess I had to come back after that.”

He said he did not know how long he wanted to play football but added, “This year should be fun no matter what hap­pens. This team still has the right atti­tude and I’m comfortable about it.”

C ow b oys o w n e r Jerry J o n e s sa id m oney w as never the issue with Haley.

“Charles feels strongly about our com ­mitment to go back to the Super Bowl,” Jones said.

"This just reiterates our strong desire to keep the nucleus of the team. Charles is a leader and a winner and I’m grati­fied h e m ad e h is d e c is io n . It’s an endorsement of what we are doing.”

Said coach Barry Sw itzer: “ T his is great for the team. We had som e contin­gency game plans we won’t have to use. W ith C h a r les H aley and J a m es Washington gone, this would have been a real dull team . We re just happy to have him back.”

Haley, one of the top pass rushers in the NFL, had 12 1/2 sacks and 68 tack­les for the Cowboys. He w as credited with 52 quarterback pressures.

MIAMIMark Duper’s reputation w as left in

tatters today by defense attorneys who described the form er Miami D olphins star receiver as a financially desperate addict willing to do anything to get more cocaine.

Duper “could ingest one heck-of-a-lot- o f c o c a in e ,” D u p er’s a tto r n e y , Fred Haddad, told a jury in op en ing s ta te ­m en ts at D uper’s coca in e p o ssess io n and conspiracy trial. “You’re going to hear some language on tapes that even I didn’t know.”

B ruce Z im et, a ttorn ey for D u p er’s brother-in-law and co-defendant Brian Briggs, said Duper w as able to conceal his addiction “ because he w as such a fantastic athlete.”

The defense depicted Duper, a three- lim e Pro Bowl player, as a drug abuser desperate to get 2 pounds of cocaine for personal consumption — not for resale as charged by the governm ent — and charged that an inform ant facing traf­ficking charges set a trap for Duper to avoid jail.

But prosecutors said D uper’s in tent w as to convert the cocaine to crack, sell $300,000 worth in his native Louisiana in six m onths and get out o f the busi­

ness.“Listen, man. We ain’t sitting on any­

thing. We re going to move it all, ” assis­tan t U .S. a tto rn ey K. Lloyd King Jr. quoted Duper as saying.

The key prosecution w itn ess w ill be Brad G allagher, who w as arrested on drug charges and im mediately informed on on e o f the NFL’s a ll-t im e lea d in g receivers, King said Monday.

Gallagher was used in a sting to get to D u p er , an d c o n v e r s a t io n s b e tw e e n Duper, Gallagher and undercover drug agents were recorded.

“All o f the tapes indicate a prior rela­t io n s h ip for d ru g u sa g e w h e r e Mr. G allagher is providing drugs for p lea ­sure or profit,” King said . “ They had partied together, ingested drugs togeth­er.”

D uper su ggested he could se ll kilo- gram -quantities of cocaine to Gallagher, King said. More than $1 million in debt and in need of cash, Duper paid $8,000 as a down payment on a 2-pound pur­chase, prosecutors charge.

The 11 -year pro served a 30-day NFL suspension for substance abuse in 1988 but returned to collect even better stats.

If convicted, the sports celebrity could face 10 years in prison and a $4 million fine. His brother-in-law , Brian Briggs, also w as caught in the sting and faces the sam e charges.

CLEVELANDThis w as no act o f m artyr­

Playing for the first time since u n d e r g o in g hand surgery tw o w e e k s a g o , H ills c o r e d C le v e la n d ’s last 10 points T u e s d a y n ig h t a s th e C a v a l i e r s b ea t th eDetroit Pistons 89-81.

The C avaliers ended a s e a ­s o n -w o r s t fo u r -g a m e lo s in g streak by limiting the Pistons to just two points in the last eight minutes.

Detroit took a 79-77 lead on Terry Mills’ 3-pointer with 8:05 le ft , th en d id n ’t sc o re aga in until Grant Hill sank a m ean ­ingless jum per with 13 seconds to play.

But Cleveland’s Hill w as the story, taking control of a game in w h ich h e w a s n ’t ev e n expected to suit up.

He had surgery to repair a chip fracture in his right hand Feb. 23 and hadn’t been pro­jec ted to return until at least later this week.

“Forget all the stuff about me playing with a hurt hand, ” Hill said . “ The im portant thing is th e w in . A ctu a lly , I th o u g h t individually I played terrib le. But as a team , w e did really w ell.”

Hill cam e off the bench late in Ihe first quarter but didn’t have m uch im pact until la te , w hen lie scored 10 straight points on a fr e e th r o w , tw o d u n k s, a vhort hook, another free throw and a layup. He finished with 11 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes.

“ It w a s tough to sit on the b ench and w a tc h ,” said Hill, w ho saw the Cavaliers go 2-4 while he was sidelined. “ I hate sitting. 1 hate losing. And I put pressure on m yself to get back in the lineup.”

Doctors, Hill said , had given h im th e OK to p lay th is Thursday against San Antonio. Hill decided to speed things up n bit.

“I felt good enough today, so I tried it,” he said.

New York’s John Starks, who fin ished w ith 25 points, sank three 3-pointers and scored 11 points in the g a m e’s first six m in u tes as N ew York built a 21-11 lead.

But Wilkins, who sat out the f ir st 12 m in u tes , p la y ed the e n t ir e s e c o n d q u a r te r and

added 20 points. D etroit’s Joe D u m a rs sc o r e d f iv e p o in ts , nearly 15 under his average, on 2-for-10 shooting.

“They present som e problems defensively,” Dumars said, “but we had the shots in the fourth q u a rter . We ju s t d id n ’t e x e ­cute.”

The Pistons, who had shot 55 percent through the first three q u a r te r s , w e n t s c o r e le s s through Hill’s flurry and totaled ju s t 12 p o in ts in th e fou rth quarter. Cleveland, m eanwhile, com m itted only four fouls and tw o tu rn o v ers in th e seco n d

Throughout the third quarter, Ewing was virtually a one-man team.

Johnson, Suns burn Rockets, 113-102 Denver, Abdul-Rauf dump Dallas, 99-96By MICHAEL A. LUTZ

Associated Press

HOUSTONThe H ouston R ockets w ere

shouting foul but not as often as the referees.

K evin J o h n so n sc o r e d 23 p o in ts and h it 11 o f 13 free throws as Phoenix took advan­tage of Houston’s foul-plagued fou rth q u a rter and b ea t the R ockets 1 1 3 -1 0 2 on Tuesday night.

“ We just out-executed them in the fourth quarter,” Johnson said. “We were deeper. We got H akeem fru strated down the stre tch and w e w ere ab le to ronver our free throws.”

Hakeem Olajuwon scored 40 points and got 13 rebounds, but he also committed four fouls in the fourth quarter, fouling out with 4:05 left in the gam e as the R ockets lo st for the fifth straight game.

The Rockets had four techni­cal fouls called against them.

“ 1 was very upset,” Olajuwon said. “There were a lot of ques­tionable ca lls w hen the gam e w as on the line. I was looking at the way the game was taken

away from us.“A lot o f the guys were frus­

trated with the re feree’s calls and I disagreed with a lot of the calls.”

T he S u n s, w h o w on th e ir fourth stra ig h t, h it a ll 12 o f th e ir fo u r th -q u a r te r fre e throw s and Johnson had six , in clu d in g on e on a tech n ica l foul ca lled a g a in st O lajuwon with 7:39 to play.

Phoenix also was deadly from 3-point range, hitting eight of 13 for a 62 percent average.

The Rockets haven’t lost five gam es in a row since the 1992- 1993 season when they had a seven-gam e losing streak from Dec. 26 to Jan. 8.

Houston fought an uphill bat­tle throughout the third quarter trying to catch the Suns after tr a il in g 6 3 -5 7 at th e h a lf. Houston finally got its first lead o f th e se c o n d h a lf on C lyde Drexler’s free throw with 1:05 to go in the quarter.

P h o en ix ’s b en ch o u tscored Houston’s 38-23.

“ We h ave a lo t o f d e p th ,’’ Phoenix coach Paul W estphal said . “ We ju st kept throw ing g u y s a t th em . KJ (K evin Johnson) m ade a lot of things

happen, particularly in the sec­ond half.”

But th e ir le a d w a s s h o r t ­lived. Houston led once more at 87-86 early in the fourth quar­ter but a 10-0 Suns charge over 2:39 gave the Suns their first victory in three gam es against the Rockets this season.

Scabs scare away the spring fansA ssociated Press

Despite the strike, expansion discussedBy RONALD BLUMAssociated Press

Replacem ent baseball finally d rew som e rep lacem en t fans Tuesday, proving that a game between the Yankees and Red Sox w ill draw even w hen it’s Randy Brown vs. Jeff Yurtin instead of Don Mattingly vs. Mo Vaughn.

There were 4 ,287 fans in the stands at Fort Myers, Fla., to watch Boston beat New York 1- 0, including fans w ho bought t ick ets the day o f the gam e. There w ere lines to enter the stadium as late as the third in­ning.

But e lse w h e r e , crow d s r e ­m a in e d sp a r s e as p la y e r s cam e, w en t and m ade sc o re­cards mandatory.

T h e T ig e r s a c k n o w le d g e d they use two crowd figures — tickets sold and actual bodies in the stan d s. So there w ere on ly 1 ,2 6 2 on h a n d to s e e Detroit beat Philadelphia 13-2.

And only 906 people showed up to w atch the Indians play the Royals in Haines City, Fla.

Adding to the strange quality o f th is sp rin g tra in in g w as a r e p la c e m e n t m a n a g e r , Tom Bunnells of the Tigers, who has yet to use the chair in Sparky Anderson’s office.

“ I have to confess, 1 did lean on it w hen I reach ed over to pick up the phon e th e o th er day,” said Runnells.

PALM BEACH, Fla.Baseball owners took a break

from th eir str ik e T u esd ay to c o n s id e r a d d in g a p a ir o f expansion team s for the 1998 season.

T he tea m s, e x p e c te d to be n a m ed th e T a m p a Bay D ev ilr a y s an d th e A r iz o n a Diamondbacks, will have to pay exp an sion fees o f about $140 million each.

The five grou p s th a t m ade30-m inute presentations to the expansion com m ittee said they w eren ’t d iscouraged by b a se ­ball’s constant labor battles.

“ I d on ’t w ant th is to sound t r ite , but it c a n ’t g e t any w o r s e ,” sa id P h o e n ix S u n s president Jerry Colangelo, who leads the group from his area. “It can only get better. I think it’s bottomed out.”

“At this point, w e ’ll just sit and wait and hope,” he said.

Owners, who may take a final expansion vote on W ednesday or T h ursd ay, sa id th ey m ust p ress a h ea d w ith a d ec is io n because of the deadline faced by Colangelo’s group.

M aricopa County approved $253 m illion of funding for a $275 m illion retractab le-roo f stadium , but the funding w ill ex p ir e u n le ss a fra n c h ise is granted by April 1.

C olangelo sa id h is b e lie f in the Phoenix market was one of the reasons his group was will­ing to pay up to $140 million.

“If som eone handed me one- third of the team s in baseball, I wouldn’t touch them with a 10- foot pole,” he said.

Surprising Providence makes late run for bidBy FRANK BAKERAssociated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I.Watch out for Providence, the

defending Big East cham pion. W ith v ic to r ie s o v er No. 6 C o n n e c tic u t and No. 13 V illa n o v a in th e ir la s t tw o gam es, the Friars are in posi­tion for another NCAA tourna­ment bid.

Coach Pete Gillen believes the Friars (15-11) need two wins in the Big East tournam ent for a sh o t at th e 6 4 -te a m fie ld . P ro v id e n c e p la y s N o. 22 Syracuse (19-8) on Friday.

T he O ra n g em en d e fe a te d Providence tw ice this season , the last time by 24 points.

“ The la st tim e, they toyed with us," Gillen said at a news c o n fe r e n c e T u e sd a y . “ We played them tough for 12 m in­utes and then it was like a tidal w a v e . T hey w axed us p retty good. But we know we can play better.”

L ess th an tw o w e e k s a g o , Providence cou ld n ’t play any w orse. On Feb. 25, the Friars lost to Pittsburgh 56-48 in their worst effort of the year. It was th e ir th ird stra ig h t lo ss and fifth in sixth games.

But Providence regrouped for a 72 -70 upset of UConn, then beat Villanova 71-70 five days later.

“ Last week w e w ere talking about having enough balls to

practice with. Now I’m talking about going to the NCAAs. It’s a little heady,” Gillen said.

P ro v id e n c e b eg a n its f ir st season under Gillen fast, com ­piling a 4 -0 record before los­ing at Georgetown 72-70 . The Friars pushed their mark to 10- 2 — including a 15-point victo­ry over No. 19 Oklahoma State — then crashed in the Big East.

“The fact that our kids hung in th e r e , th ey d e se r v e som e cred it,” Gillen said . “ A lot of kids w ould h ave tipp ed over an d d ie d . I th in k th a t sa y s s o m e th in g a b o u t ou r k id s ’ character, about the chemistry, the kids liking each other.”

G illen k n o w s a b o u t c h e m ­is tr y . B e fo r e a r r iv in g at Providence, his overach ieving X avier tea m s m ade it to the NCAA tournam ent seven times in his n ine se a so n s , reach in g the final 16 in 1990.

A fter all th ose years in the M id w e ste r n C o lle g ia te Conference, Gillen found him ­s e lf a lit t le aw ed by the Big East.

“ I th in k w e h a v e a g r e a t league from top to bottom,” he said . “ I think w e ’re probably the secon d -b est league in the country. The ACC is probably ahead of u s.”

He said the league deserves to have five team s in the NCAA to u r n a m e n t. C o n n e c tic u t, Vdlanova, Syracuse, and No. 24 Georgetown are locks.

Bombs away for

MSU/IowaBy GREG SMITHAssociated I’rcss

Iowa City, IOWAThe scoreboard operator at

the Michigan State-Iowa bas­ketball gam e had b etter be q u ick on th e tr ig g e r W ednesday night.

There will be plenty riding on th e 3 -p o in t sh o o tin g o f MSU’s Shaw n R esp ert and Iow a’s Chris Kingsbury, two of the Big T en ’s b est long- ran ge sh o o ters p lay in g for the highest scoring team s in the conference.

For ninth-ranked Michigan State (21-4 overall, 13-3 Big T en ), th e S p artan s n eed a w in to go a h a lf-g a m e in front of 14th-ranked and co- c o n fe r e n c e le a d e r P urdue (22-6 , 13-3), which plays at M innesota on Thursday. For the Hawkeyes (18-10, 8-8), a w in w ould greatly im prove their ch a n ces for an NCAA tournament berth.

“ W e ’ve g o t to w in th is gam e W ednesday night. It’s a m ust-win game for u s,” Iowa coach Tom Davis said.

“1 think for both team s, it’ll ju st be a w ar," Iow a’s Jess Settles said. “1 know if 1 was in Michigan State’s shoes, I’d be really wanting to win the gam e just to win the Big Ten title. And being in our shoes, w e w a n t to g e t to th e NCAAs."

The Spartans overcam e a four-point deficit in the final 3:19 for a 69-68 victory Jan. 7 at E ast L a n sin g as Eric Snow sank a 12-foot shot at the buzzer. Respert led MSU w ith 18 p o in ts w h ile K ingsbury paced Iowa with 29 points.

S in c e th e n , R esp er t and Kingsbury have been chasing each other for 3-point shoot­ing honors.

Respert, a senior who leads the Big Ten in scoring with 2 4 .7 p o in ts p er gam e, h as m ade 9 7 3 -p o in ters in 202 attempts. He m akes an aver­age of 3 .9 long-range shots per gam e for the Spartans, who score an average of 77.9 points, second to Iowa’s 84.8 point average.

Kingsbury, seven th in the league in scoring with a 16.9 a v e r a g e , h a s m a d e 9 8 3- p o in ter s in 2 4 3 tr ie s . T he sophom ore has twice drilled nine 3-poin ters th is season and has three other gam es w here h e’s m ade seven . He h a s 1 4 2 3 -p o in te r s in h is career, the school’s all-tim e leader

“ I’ve n ever had anybody with that range," Davis said. “There are very few that are as strong, physically, as whathe is.”

As dangerous as Kingsbury is, Davis said, Respert is the more com plete player.

“He’s really tough to cover; con stantly in m otion , using his screens.” the coach said.

Both team s also have solid point guards to d irect their fa st-b rea k o ffe n se s . Snow , averag in g 11.1 poin ts, has 118 assists, or 7.4 a gam e, to lead the conference.

Richardsco n tin u ed from p age 20

O utstanding is exactly w hat R ichards has b een so far this s e a s o n . In a d d it io n to th e tea m ’s second h ighest batting average, he leads the team with 12 hits.

But R ich a rd s a lso h its for pow er. He is tied with fellow outfielder Ryan Topham for the team lead with two home runs, and the two also lead the Irish with 12 runs batted in.

At la s t w e e k e n d ’s C o lleg e B a s e b a ll C la ss ic in S e a t t le Richards hit .500 with a team- high seven RBI. He hit a grand slam against W ashington that put the gam e aw ay, and then had a two run single to finish off Nevada.

“Rowan is a very strong per­son w ho w ork ed hard in the w eig h t ro o m ,” M ainieri says. “T hat in creased strength has g iv e n h im tr e m e n d o u s b at sp eed .”

R ic h a r d ’s c o m b in a tio n o f strength and speed make him a force defensively as well.

“He is an o u tsta n d in g o u t­fielder who catches the ball as well as anyone,” says Mainieri. “He h as d one a su p er job in centerfield.”

But m ore th an h is p la y in g s k i l ls , M a in ie r i p r a is e s Richards’ work ethic.

“Ro is an o u tsta n d in g p e r ­s o n ,” th e c o a c h s a y s . “He co m es to play every day and h a s n ev er co m p la in ed ab ou t nagging injuries. He is the type of player coaches love to have because he is always giving all that he’s got.”

R ichards, how ever, ch ooses to em phasize the achievem ents of the Notre Dame team rather than himself.

“The season is going great so f a r ,” h e s a y s . “T h e tea m m orale is rea lly h igh and w e look better than I have seen us in three years.”

R ichards g ives m uch o f the credit for both his early success and the N otre D am e team to Mainieri.

“W e’ve r e a lly b o n d ed w e ll w ith c o a c h , ” R ich a rd s sa y s . “W e’ve com e to together with him. He fits in well. ”

Both M ainieri and R ichards hope he w ill stay healthy and continue to contribute into the conference season.

“I’d just like the opportunity to hit and play d efen se every d a y ,” R ich a rd s sa y s . “Hopefully, w e can keep going and make it to Omaha.”

John Fogerty needs to look no further than Rowan Richards.

He can play centerfield.

T h e B u ck s, w ho lo s t th e ir third straight, were led by Eric M urdock w ith 29 p o in ts and Vin Baker w ith 27 points and 12 rebounds.

Porter took up the slack for Portland’s top two scorers who w ere both out with injuries — fo rw a rd C lifford R ob in son ( s p r a in e d a n k le ) and Rod Strickland (bruised shoulder). Harvey Grant and Aaron McKie b o th a d d ed 16 a p ie c e for Portland.

Otis Thorpe hit a basket with 4:21 left to give Portland a 97- 91 lead but the Bucks pulled to 100-99 w hen Murdock hit one of two fre throws with 1:34 left. Thorpe tossed in a short basket with 54 seconds rem aining for a 1 0 2 -9 3 lead and Porter hit three of four free throws in the final 17 seconds to preserve the victory.

The Bucks’ Marty Conlon hit th e fin a l b a sk e t o f th e third

period with 29.9 seconds left to pull the Bucks to 84-80 genter- ing the last quarter.

P orter had 8 p o in ts in the period to keep the B lazers in control.

Porter, who had 23 points in the first half, hit a pair of free throws with 3.9 seconds left in the secon d period to give the Blazers a 59-57 lead.

The B u ck s took th e ir f ir st lead of the game with 9:35 left in the second period at 36-33 on a 3 -p o in te r by G lenn Robinson.

Putme in Coach

After two years as a reserve , Rowan Richards is ready to play centerfield.By MEGAN McGRATHSports W riter

J o h n F o g e r ty ’s ea r ly 8 0 ’s h it “C e n te r f ie ld ” w a s m ea n t to be a paean to the days when baseball was sim p le , pure and free o f m in d less labor disputes.

But the song could be the them e song of junior Rowan Richards’ Notre Dame career.

Used sparingly during his sopho- | more year, this season Richards has i earn ed the startin g spot in cen ter

and has responded by leading every­day players with a .522 batting aver­age in the team ’s first six games.

“Rowan caught my eye early this fall,” said head coach Paul Mainieri. “His ob vious ta len t jum ped out at

1 m e.”Richards’ talents were apparent in

i his first game for the Irish, when he belted a home run in his first colle­g ia te at bat a g a in st A rizon a . He

i went on to start 35 out of 52 gam es 1 that year and posted a .280 average.

He w as also used as a pinch-runner and nabbed 20 bases.

But the next season saw Richards

languishing in a sophom ore slump. He started 14 gam es and had just 48 at-bats.

“It was Coach Murphy’s decision,” sa y s R ich a rd s. “O b v iou sly he thought other players could help the team more. There were several guys com peting for time, and I guess we had kind of a platoon.”

Richards refused to be discouraged by a la c k -lu s te r sop h om ore ca m ­paign. Instead, he Signed up for the Y.D. Red Sox in the competitive Cape Cod league, a New England summer league featuring som e of the nation’s best collegiate players.

“The Cape Cod league was a great experience,” Richards says.

Mainieri, h im self a veteran of the league, concurs.

“The confidence you get from play­ing again st the best p layers in the country every day and knowing you belong is just trem endous,” he says. “A fter R ow an p la y e d th e r e , and earned All-Star honors, it helped him b e lie v e in h im se lf and b e lie v e he could be outstanding.”

Irish women swim to third championship of yearBy BETSY BAKERSports W riter

team of Linda Gallo, Jenni Dahl, Shelley Hotchkiss, and Jesslyn P e te r so n e d g e d o u t th e Southern Illinois team by a .22 second margin, giving the Irish a tw o -p o in t v ic to r y o v er Southern Illinois and the s e c ­ond Eastern Intercollegiate title in Irish team ’s history.

F r e sh m a n s e n s a t io nHotchkiss continued to lead the Irish team as sh e w on th ree individual even ts and p artici­pated as a member of two w in­

ning relays, including the m eet- winning relay. She set a m eet record in the 500 yd. Freestyle with a time of 455.22 and was n a m ed O u ts ta n d in g F em a le Performer of the meet.

In addition to Hotchkiss’ per­formance, Peterson and sopho­m ore Erin Brooks again w ere b ig w in n e r s for th e Ir ish . P e te r so n , w h o a lo n g w ith Hotchkiss has consistently been a key leader of the Irish, won th r e e in d iv id u a l e v e n ts and swam on three winning relays. Brooks won the 200 Backstroke

with a m eet record of 2:01.35.Despite the highlights of these

three perform ances, the key to the Irish victory was the team ’s depth.

“We took 19 girls on the trip and needed all of them to w in,” sa id Ir ish h ea d co a c h Tim Welsh. “It was a wonderful vic­tory, the girls really deserve it.”

W elsh , w ho a lon g w ith the team is reveling in the success of the Irish this season, has also been recogn ized . After being nam ed M idw estern C ollegiate Conference Coach of the Year
