These goals include increas­ing s tu d e n t in v o lv e m e n t a t campus wide events, expanding service projects for the student body, improving ND/SMC re la ­tio n s , a d d re s s in g a c a d e m ic equality in senior com prehen- sives and reaching out to s tu ­den ts a t o ther Catholic w om ­en’s colleges with whom Saint Mary’s students can identify.

The lack of involvem ent at Saint Mary’s is not due to apa­thetic students but to the lack of publicizing cam pus events, according to El-Ganzouri.

“We p la n to a d d re s s th is problem by placing a m aste r c a le n d a r of ongoing cam pus events in the dining hall,” she said.

N D joins alliance for educationBy KATIE MURPHYNews W riter

In re sp o n se to the ever-in - creasing need for enthusiastic C a th o lic e d u c a to r s , N o tre Dame has jo ined the National Catholic Bishops Conference’s D epartm ent of Education and the National Catholic Education A ssociation in p re p a rin g the groundwork for a professional teaching corps.

T he A llia n c e fo r C a th o lic Education, (ACE) will train and place college graduates in p ri­m ary and secondary schools, acco rd ing to F a th e r Tim othy Scully, coordinator of the pilot program.

M any d io cese s a re in d ire need of qualified teachers, es­pecially in the southern states, he said. Women religious, for­merly the backbone of Catholic schools, no longer command as g re a t a p re se n c e in schoo ls, and school adm inistrators m ust use o ther resources to fill the gap.

“One of the most magnificent le g a c ie s fro m th e 1 9 th an d 20th cen turies of the Catholic C hurch is C atholic sc h o o ls ,” Scully said . “W ho is going to continue it?”

By lo o k in g to co lleg e s tu ­d en ts , ACE hopes to provide the schools with educators pos­sessing the best combination of intelligence, spirituality and ex­citem ent. It also w ants to give the participants an opportunity to sample the teaching profes­sion, he said.

“W e’re looking for flexib le people with a sense of hum or who can communicate values,” said Scully. “W e’re looking for Catholics who will be rem em ­bered not for w hat they taught but for how they taugh t.”

Bus tragedy remembered quietly on anniversaryAssociated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind.The second a n n iv e rsa ry of

the bus crash th a t killed two Notre Dame swim m ers passed quietly on cam pus and in the courts Monday.

Two years is the limit allowed under Indiana’s statute of limi­ta tions for law suits stem m ing from a crash. Eight have been filed, including three last week, but none was received Monday.

Several services w ere sched­uled on cam pus to rem em ber the accident that killed Colleen Hipp, 19, of St. Louis and Mar­g a re t Beeler, 18, of G ranger. T he fre sh m e n d ied Ja n . 24, 1992, when the team bus they w e re r id in g sk id d e d off th e snowy Indiana Toll Road on the re tu rn from a m eet at N orth­w estern in suburban Chicago.

M ore th a n 30 peo p le w ere injured.

Three lawsuits have been set­tled out of court, including one filed by Hipp’s parents. The set­tlements are confidential.

The Hipp’s suit and one filed by swim team m em bers Debo­rah Brady and Cynthia Safford w ere the only two nam ing the un iversity . All e igh t su its a c ­cuse the bus com pany. United Limo Inc., and driver Howard Dixon of negligence.

Beeler’s case is scheduled for a Feb. 4 pre-trial conference in St. Joseph Circuit Court. An a t­tem pt to settle the case failed last year.

No court dates have been set in the other pending suits. Only one, filed by sw im m er K aren K eeley, seeks specified d am ­a g e s . K eeley is a sk in g for $650,000.

INSIDE COLUMN WORLD AT A GLANCE

Non-debate ignores real

issues

Elizabeth ReganAssistant News Editor

Debate or agreem ent?T h a t w as the question

running through my mind la s t n igh t as I w asted 45 m in u te s lis te n in g to the m indless uninform ed b an ­te r (if th e ir polite d iscus­s io n ca n even be ca lled banter) between the candi­dates running for Student Body P residen t and Vice P r e s id e n t o f A cad em ic Affairs.

Both tick e ts began by ----------------------------ag reeing th a t the tu rnou t for the last m inute d eb a te w as m uch im proved over last y e a r’s. Approximately 35 students showed up.

Then it was on to the issues, or so I thought, until I realized that there were no real issues to be debated.

Is it too much to ask for candidates to take an active interest in the issues that would actually rep re sen t the concerns of th e ir constituents? How abou t a firm stand? How abou t even a faint stand? How about some issues other than salad dressing and yogurt?

Not only were the two tickets aspiring to polit­ical advancem ent uninformed, but more em bar­rassing is the fact that they had absolutely no opinion.

E ach s p e a k e r b eg an h e r a n sw e r by f irs t agreeing with her opponent and then reph ras­ing her opponents answ er in her own words.

Both tickets agreed that a reporter from the O bserver shou ld be p re se n t a t m eetings in o rd er to inform the studen t body of govern­m ent happenings.

Beat repo rte rs covering BOG and RHA have rarely m issed a m eeting this year and always write a comprehensive article about the events d iscussed in the following day’s paper. How could this be overlooked by anyone interested in running the student government?

El-Ganzouri’s ticket is interested in providing a study day prior to final exams. Anyone who has done her homework should realize that this issue has been beaten to death and will never be passed without a good plan.

Sheedy advocated the Saint Mary’s Christian Service Center that has been on the agenda all year. The SMCSC received little support from BOG this year because of economic concerns and lack of research . She a ttribu ted the slow progress to lack of student involvment.

1 have always been a proud to be a student at Saint M ary’s, however, last night I was truly em barrassed to be part of the student body that one of these two tickets will be rep resen tin g next year.

T o d a y ’s e d ito r ia l r e g a rd in g th e e le c tio n encourages students to abstain.

Last y e a r’s ed itorial endorsed a ticket- but with caution.

Students reinforced its reluctance to put faith in e ith e r tic k e t la s t y e a r w ith a low v o te r turnout.

There is obviously a discrepancy between the candidates definition of a student governm ent’s role and the expectations of a typical student.

As a s tu d en t I w ould hope my p ee rs are looking for concrete goals and sure-ast steps to achieve those goals. This was seriously lacking last night.

The A m erican M edical A ssociation charged on Monday that the Clinton health plan and other bills before Congress would let government or insurance company bureaucrats, not physicians, decide what care patients get.

On the eve of the new session of Congress tha t could decide the fate of health reform, the doctors’ a sso c ia tio n lau n ch ed a new $1 .6 m illion p rin t advertising cam paign dem anding a bigger say for doctors in health reform.

AMA leaders also expressed concern that “giant, profit-seeking corporations” could come to dom i­nate the health system under the types of changes that President Clinton and others are pushing.

“W e’re going to be asking doctors all over the country to make information available to patients . ..so that m edicine’s voice can be heard ,” Dr. Jam es Todd, the AMA’s executive vice president, told a news conference.

Meanwhile, Republicans kept up a drum beat of criticism of the Clinton plan. Republicans on the Join t Economic Committee released a forecast by the minority staff economists that the White House bill would add $1 trillion to the deficit by the year 2000 .

But for now the insurers will keep running the AP“ H arry and Louise” ads in a dozen cities com plaining about Clinton’s m andatory health insurance purchasing alliances, Gradison said.

Clinton gave Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and House Speaker Thomas Foley a preview of his Tuesday night State of the Union address. Mitchell said Clinton will insist again on “guaranteeing health insurance for every American that cannot be taken away.”

The AMA has its own prescription for achieving universal health coverage, antitrust reform, lower malpractice insurance premiums and other changes to ensure that doctors play a major role in “deciding how health care is delivered and paid for."______________________________________________________________________________________

Midshipmen involved in cheating scandal

Most of the m idshipm en involved “ repeatedly lied until confronted w ith irrefu tab le proof of the ir involvem ent,” said the report, which criticized the Naval Academy’s handling of its largest cheating scandal ever. Secretary of the Navy John Dalton removed the academy from further involve­m ent in the investigation because of a w idespread p er­ception among midshipmen that the original investigation was unfair. “The majority of midshipmen interviewed did not feel truth was found, or even seriously sought . . .” the report said.

SARAJEVOThe fu tu re of E urope is a t

stake in Bosnia and only swift, re ta lia tory air strikes will end aggression by the w arring fac­tions, the U.N. com m ander in fo rm e r Y u g o slav ia sa id Monday.

By con trast, the U.N. sec re ­ta r y - g e n e r a l q u e s tio n e d NATO’s willingness to use force despite the recen t renew al of its th reat to stage air attacks to protect U.N. areas. He w arned th a t the conflict could sp read w ith outside intervention, and urged more diplomacy to solve it.

The differing views came du r­ing w h a t the d e p a r tin g U.N. com m ander for Bosnia, Lt. Gen. Francis Briquemont of Belgium, has called a crisis for the U.N. p e a c e k e e p in g m iss io n in B osnia . They i l lu s tra te d the lack of co n sen su s on how to end Europe’s w orst bloodshed since 1945.

Gen. Jean Cot of France, com­

m ander of all U.N. troops in the fo rm e r Y ugoslav fe d e ra tio n , u se d th e t r a n s f e r of B riquem ont’s com m and to Lt. Gen. Sir Michael Rose of Britain as a p latform to re ite ra te his view th a t only m ilitary action by o ther nations can stop the war.

Fighting has escalated since p eace ta lk s failed ag a in la s t week. U.N. peacekeepers them ­selves and the six U .N.-desig­n a ted “ safe zones” in Bosnia are under threat.

“The problem is very simple. In ca se of a m ass iv e a t ta c k against the safe areas or any­w here else, the only means that we have of reacting against this — of reacting immediately — is c lose a ir s u p p o r t ,” Cot to ld reporters.

“ Im m ed ia te ly m ean s th re e minutes. That would be perfect. Half an hour would be nice. But i t ’s c e r ta in ly no t m ore th a n tha t.”

He spoke at Sarajevo’s U n ­controlled airport, a symbol of w hat outsiders have and have

not achieved after 21 m onths of w ar that has killed m ore than 200,000 people and m ade 2.7 m illion people d e p e n d e n t on outside aid.

U.N. o ffic ia ls say a ll th e Bosnian factions — M uslim s, Serbs and Croats — frequently interfere with aid convoys.

Cot, who is being recalled by U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali because he went public with the ir d ispute over calling for W estern air strikes, said the stakes are high.

“We must succeed because it seem s to me im p o ss ib le for those who are waging this w ar not to rea lize th a t they have crossed the threshold of sanity in a civilized la n d ,” he sa id . “The survival of their peoples is at stake, and beyond them, the future of the whole of Europe. ”

No time for cheap talk in

RussiaBy IG OR GRAZINProfessional Specialist, College o f Business Adm inistration

Although a person may look sophisticated and brilliant when theorizing like a W estern econo­mist, there is no substitute for using one’s own experience and intelligence in solving problems.

I mean that the economic policy that was car­ried out in Russia in accordance with the text­books and W estern advisers is over. Thank God.

Yegor G aidar, Boris Fyodorov, and Grigory Yavlinsky, each one a follower and supporter of W estern ideology, are out of the economic poli­cymaking in Russia.

Their made-in-Harvard type approach did not c u re th e ills o f th e new ly o p e n e d E a s te rn European economies, and instead served only to bring the left forces back to power in Poland.

M eanw hile , the E sto n ian re fo rm su ccess , which was described as “a financial m iracle” by the London Times, cam e about thanks to the courage of Estonian financiers and bankers who ignored any and all recom m endations from the IMF.

It seem s th a t the time has passed for w hat Czech Prime Minister Vaclav Havel term ed “soft ideas for hard currency.”

The latest events in Russia have reiterated the elem entary lesson that economics is not simply an abstrac t brain exercise. Economics and its science is a daily life for millions of people who m ust live it, textbooks notwithstanding.

It is one th in g to s it in C a m b rid g e , M assachusetts and calculate how many people are standing in lines for food in Russia and quite a different thing to actually stand in those lines.

Ironically enough, even the W estern world did not believe in the wisdom of its own gurus. The economic assistance provided for the reforms in R u ss ia a c tu a lly re m a in e d n o n e x is te n t . H um an itarian aid and reform assis tan ce are techn ica lly d ifferen t: feed ing the needy and reducing inflation are very different procedures.

Talk is cheap, and lots of cheap talk can never produce a single valuable deed.

Russia, a nation that even today is capable of it, can ’t help herself, because m arkets for her p roducts rem ain closed due to discrim inatory tariffs, administrative regulations, and the like. It is hard to believe, but Russia does not need a single penny.

It took two years for Russia to com prehend th a t there are no universal ru les or infallible teachers in this world that can solve all of her problems.

With this knowledge comes the understanding that it would help to utilize the Russian people’s own experience and abilities to cope with the present problems.

Now, instead of continuing to follow the the primitive textbook truths uncritically, Russia has started to take her own way to a better future. This fu tu re will com bine a free m ark e t w ith strong social policies, communal traditions with respect for individual freedoms, and centralism with democratic values.

The Russian people can not foresee w hat will come of this. On the other hand, who can?

R ussia will le a rn . And a lth o u g h sh e will rem ain politically and culturally unique, she still will be a mem ber of the community of free and democratic nations that she has decided to join.

New economics minister lashes out

AP File Photo

Russian President Boris Yeltsin has not yet accepted the resignation of finance minister Boris Fyodorov, who is credited by some with keeping Russian inflation at a m oderate level.

By DEBO R A H SEWARDAssociated Press

MOSCOWR ussia’s new econom ics m inister

lashed out Monday at reform ers for refusing to join the government and predicted high inflation in January. T he key p o st of f in an ce m in is te r rem ained in question.

A spokem an for Boris Yeltsin said the president had not accepted the resignation of Finance Minister Boris Fyodorov. Fyodorov, a top reform er w hose fate has come to re p re se n t R u s s ia ’s c o m m itm e n t to m a rk e t reform s, quit after a Cabinet shake- up favoring conservatives who advo­cate a slower pace of reform.

The new Cabinet has signaled its intention to impose tighter govern­m ent control over the economy and increase industrial and agricultural production by allocating greater sub­sidies to those sectors.

New E co n o m ics M in is te r Alexander Shokhin, Russia’s top debt n e g o tia to r , h ad h a rs h w o rd s for reform ers, including his predecessor Yegor Gaidar and Fyodorov.

“ It is bad that several key figures in th e C a b in e t, in c lu d in g Y egor G a id a r , h a v e d e c id e d to re lie v e them selves of responsibility for the cou rse they p u rsu ed over the last four m onths,” said Shokhin.

“ T hey a re do in g e v e ry th in g to blam e the reorganized governm ent for all the consequences, including negative consequences, of reform s,” said Shokhin, who began his career with the Soviet state planning orga­nization, Gosplan, but has at tim es sided with the reform ers.

Fyodorov is largely cred ited with bringing runaw ay inflation down to

12 p e rc e n t for D ecem ber. He h as w arn ed th a t the new g o v ern m en t w ill in c re a s e sp e n d in g an d sen d inflation soaring.

But Shokhin to ld re p o r te rs th a t Fyodorov and Gaidar w ere to blame for an in fla tio n r a te th a t w ill be “much higher” this m onth for post­poning paym ent of some government debts until the first q uarter of 1994.

Russia is one of few countries with both finance and econom ics m inis­ters. As finance m inister, Fyodorov has handled m onetary issues such as

budget deficits, inflation and ta x a ­tion. Shokhin, as economics minister, will deal more directly with econom­ic policy, such as industry subsidies.

Fyodorov subm itted his resignation last w eek w hen Yeltsin and Prim e M in is te r V ik to r C h e rn o m y rd in nam ed a new government dominated by Soviet-era m anagers.

After a 30-minute meeting Monday w ith Y e ltsin , C h e rn o m y rd in sa id Yeltsin had not accepted Fyodorov’s resignation and the decision rested with the president.

Professors wary of predicting sustained economic growthBy D A V ID CLA IR M O N TBusiness W riter

Economic data for the fourth quar­ter of 1994 is encouraging but not a d e fin itiv e p re d ic to r of s u s ta in e d grow th according to two economics professors at Notre Dame.

W hile the c u rre n t evidence su p ­p o rts the no tion th a t the n a tio n ’s consum ers are more confident in the economy, it may be that the reports are seasonal at best.

Indexes of consum er confidence ru n by the U niversity of M ichigan ind icate th a t consum er confidence increased significantly th is m onth, d ra s tic a lly d iffe re n t from s im ila r indicators run last January.

W hereas a strong fourth quarter in 1992 w as followed by a w eak first qu arte r in 1993, the fourth quarter- first quarter transition this year was stronger.

The economy shows a “pretty big percent change because you’re com­ing from a poor tim e" sa id N otre D am e p ro fe s s o r of e co n o m ics Thomas Swartz.

Instead of viewing the transitio n from the end to the beginning of the year, it is more informative to view th e d a ta in b e tw e e n , “from C h ris tm a s to C h r is tm a s ,” S w artz said.

“(The recovery) is not getting good econom ic support from the re s t of the world, ” said Swartz.

Citing that foreign m arkets are not c u r re n tly e x p e rie n c in g th e sam e level of econom ic recovery th a t is o ccu rrin g on the dom estic scene , Swartz said that, “If w e’re going to co n tin u e to clim b, w e ’re going to

have to do it by ourselves.”A ccording to p ro fesso r of eco ­

nomics Martin Wolfson, the long run p ictu re in “not totally c le a r ,” even th ough the re c e n t fo u rth q u a r te r data are a “positive sign.”

While consum er optimism plays a s ig n if ic a n t ro le in any econom ic recovery, it is only h a lf of the p ic­ture.

With in terest ra tes at a historical low, “C om panies have been using low interest ra tes to pay down their outstanding debt levels.”

Until there is a w idespread “gener­al belief” th a t the economy is on a solid trend upwards, firms will hold off on investing more if they feel that there will not be sustained consumer confidence and an increased dem and for their products or services.

“Interest rates alone are not suffi­c ien t for a su s ta in e d e x p a n s io n ,” said Wolfson.

Wolfson noted that certain sectors of the economy are still prim e ta r ­gets for economic humbling. “(The economy) needs adjustm ent in high m arkets such as real esta te” in order to m ake c u rre n t p ro jec tions m ore convincing.

The increased level of activity su r­rounding the holiday shopping sea ­son “should not show up in the num ­b e rs ,” said W olfson, because such num bers are “seasonally adjusted. ”

Instead of reveling in the success of one good season, analysis ought to be postponed un til the end of the first q u a rte r of 1994 to determ ine whether or not consum er purchases at the end of 1993 will be indicative of a long term attitude.

Consumers are force behind U.S. recovery

By JO H N C U N N IFFAssociated Press

NEW YORKAmerican consum ers have worked

miracles in the past and maybe have done so again. Despite layoffs, taxes and debts, American consum ers are pushing the economy forward.

They are buying houses, cars, fur­n itu re an d e le c tro n ic e q u ip m e n t. They are are pushing stocks to new highs, and as they do so they gener­a te an e n th u s ia sm fo r m o re W all S treet bulls.

N ever u n d erestim a te consum ers. When pinched they seek bargains; in p u rsu it of them co n su m ers t r a n s ­formed retailing into a m arketplace of discounters. They seek quality; in search of it they forced automaJcers to change design, m anufacturing and m arketing of cars.

Now they are the big force behind the economic expansion.

T h a t in i t s e l f is a g r e a t a c ­complishment, but it is amazingly so w hen you con sid er the im m edia te im pedim ents, such as ris ing taxes, sluggish growth in personal income, job insecurity and a level of debt that shocks old-timers.

T h ese im p ed im en ts tiave a long history of growth, and so a re n 't likely to disappear, as the Tax Foundation, watchdog of federal, sta te and local tax changes, calculates so well.

Late last year it estim ated tha t the “ typical” (median income) American fam ily’s income afte r taxes and in ­flation still rem ained below the level reached in 1989.

O f salad dressing and yogurt options

Peppercorn versus straw berry Dannon yogurt. Those are the choices facing the Saint Mary's students today as they head to the ballot box to vote for next year’s student governm ent leaders.

The Observer regretfully abstains.Last night’s forum w asn’t really a debate. It was an agreem ent.

Neither ticket — Noha El-Ganzouri and Melissa Peters or Deborah Sheedy and Angela McNulty — presented a coherent plan for the coming year. Both proved misinformed on several counts and fright­eningly unaw are of the process of achieving change at Saint Mary’s. And all four very polite women appeared to agree on just about any­thing and everything.

The debate 's most ridiculous — and telling — discussion involved dining hall developments.

“I keep hearing that Notre Dame has more flavors than we do,” said El-Ganzouri of the College’s yogurt selection. Just a few m in­utes earlier, McNulty said she would work for more salad dressing variety.

For the several dozen students present, the exchange certainly indicated little understanding of Saint Mary’s image problem.

The two ticke ts w ere e ith e r a rtfu l dodgers or ju s t p la in u n ­informed on more im portant questions. On issues from the proposed Christian Service Center to El-Ganzouri’s study days proposal, both showed little knowledge of recent student government history.

The unfortunate reality of all this is that today one of these two tickets will be elected. The Observer editorial board offers the fol­lowing advice for the winners.

F irs t, chang ing policy a t Sain t M ary’s re q u ire s a th re e step process that has worked in recent years: exhaustively researching an issue, surveying the students and presenting a coherent plan to the adm inistration.

Second, it’s just a fact that students expect the president to help them get new stairm asters and maybe even better food in the dining hall. But it is also the role of student government to take a part in the long-term evolution of the College.

Developing a service center, for example, not only gives students a chance to help others, but also allows the Sisters of the Holy Cross to continue to leave their m ark on the College. Cooperation among women from both schools affords them a m eans of communicating m utual in terests and working together — from addressing sexual harassm ent to breaking down the stereotypes that riddle attitudes on both sides.

Finally, the debate offered one other indicator: that students know w hat they want. The few in attendance asked intelligent and salient questions.

If only they could expect the same from their representatives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ND: An invitation to struggleDear Editor:

T h e re a re s ti l l t im e s in which I must pinch myself to see if I am rea lly h e re . My d re a m did com e t ru e ; th e in v ita tio n w as re a l-I rea lly am at Notre Dame. All of my h a rd w o rk p a id o ff an d I m ad e my d re a m a re a li ty . From the day I s te p p e d on cam pus, I knew I was at the right place. Or was I?

A fte r th r e e y e a rs I have com e to rea lize th a t th is is indeed a w onderful place. I have been taught to think for m yself and have tru ly ch e r­ished the value of an educa­tion. I have come to realize that my invitation m eant that I d e s e rv e d to be h e re . I w orked ju s t as diligently as the others to earn my place at Notre Dame. And because of that hard work, I was offered an invitation to be a p a rt of an exceptional education, and beco m e p a r t o f th e N o tre Dame family. It was an invita­tion to feast at one of the best b a n q u e t tab les . W hat I did not realize however, was how much harder I would have to work to stay here.

I am speaking about m ore than academics, 1 am speak­ing about being an outsider in an e x tre m e ly e x p e n s iv e “C a th o lic D isn e y la n d ” . At tim es I s till w o n d e r how I have made it this far.

In th e b e g in n in g , th e d ifficu lties w ere an a d ju s t­m ent. I had to adjust to the w eather, distance from home, friends, etc. But, for the first time in my life I was on my ow n. F o r m an y , f reed o m m ean t being able to go and do w hat you wanted, for me it m eant enorm ous responsibil­ity. 1 now had to pay all of my b ills, I had to w orry ab o u t

buying tickets in order to get h o m e , an d I h ad to w o rry about buying all of my books. In essence, I had to learn to su rv iv e , w ith only w o rk - s tu d y . You se e , s in c e my experience as a Notre Dame s tu d e n t h a s b een a l i t t le different; I feel that there are certa in issues and questions which need to be addressed.

In the beginning my finan- cial-aid package looked great. I could get th rough w ithout starving and I assum ed tha t things would only get better. Little did I know tha t books w e re e x tre m e ly ex p en siv e and I had to come up w ith r e g is t r a t io n fees an d h a ll taxes. In my first year I real­ized that I would have to buy sw eaters and a w inter coat, bu t again I assum ed th ings would get better, after all this was my first year. In my sec­ond year; I realized th a t my lo an s h ad in c re a se d , som e w ere dele ted , and expenses w ere increasing . But it was part of my sacrifice and I was determ ined to make it; I could handle the twelve-hour work- s tudy . T his w as a f te r all a learning experience.

Well, as I approach the end of my third year 1 have con­cluded th a t lately all I have been worried about is money. At f ir s t I th o u g h t th a t the worrying was part of a sacri­fice w h ich cam e w ith th e acceptance of the invitation. I n e v e r h a d a n y th in g com e easy to me — so I assumed 1 cou ld m a n a g e . I h ad been responsible for paying bills in the past, so this couldn’t be any different. Now I find my­se lf w ondering w hat th ings would be like if my situation w ere different.

What would it be like to re ­

ceive an allowance at the end of each month from my p a r­ents? W hat is it like to have free sum m ers and not worry about finding a sum m er job in o rder to pay the bills for the previous academ ic year, and save enough ju s t to get back? W hat is it like to only s tre s s ab o u t finals and not h av e th e d o u b le s t r e s s of finals and the rest of the tu ­ition balance — so I could re ­ceive my g ra d e s a t hom e? Why do 1 have to lie to my p a ren ts by rea ssu rin g them th a t every situ a tio n h ere is g r e a t? I am n o t h o w e v e r , wishing to live someone else’s life or be someone else. I am extremely proud of who I am and where 1 come from. I am proud to rea lize th a t som e­tim es we m u st f ig h t an d struggle a little more.

Why am I made to feel like the step-child at the banquet table when I ask for a little help? Why am I made to feel like I m ust resolve my finan­cial burdens? And why isn ’t anyone meeting me at least a quarter of the way? Why am 1 m ade to feel th a t because 1 h av e re c e iv e d a g r e a t g ift (education) I need only to be a p p re c ia t iv e ? And fin a lly , why did you invite me to this banquet, knowing that I was not going to be able to fit the e x p e n s iv e “fa m ily ” m old? Why did you not save me the hum iliation, and respect me enough to let me know that I w as not w elcom e, and need not ask for help, financial or otherwise?

Why, a fte r th ree y ea rs of struggle do I feel like I s till don’t belong?

NOHA EL-GANZOURI AND MELISSA PETERSThe title s of S tu d e n t Body

President and Vice President of A cadem ic A ffa irs , r e p re s e n t hard work, leadership, dedica­tion, com m itm ent, and confi­dence. As representatives of the S a in t M ary ’s s tu d e n t g o v ­e rn m e n t we hold d e a r th ese qualities.

As leaders we feel it is im por­tant to listen to the needs of the S a in t M ary ’s community and re s p o n d to those needs. It is b e c a u se of th is th a t we have c e n te re d our platform on El-Ganzouri w hat we believe th e s tu d e n t body n e e d s an d d e se rv e s . O ur go a ls in c lu d e increasing the student’s role in student body issues. This need to be effectively communicated through the use of publicity.

We propose the creation of a large ca lendar hung in dining hall announcing the scheduled e v e n ts fo r e a c h day o f th e m onth . This will include the dates and tim es of club m eet­ings, speakers, class activities, movies, bands and other events of interest. We believe student in v o lv em en t w ould in c re a se g re a tly by sim ply in fo rm in g them about the events occur­ring on campus.

Secondly, we w ant to offer a one c r e d i t c la s s fo r u n d e r ­classm en th a t would increase their participation on cam pus. This class would be set up by academic affairs in conjunction with faculty and would inform the students about such things as the ca ree r developm ent of­

fice, becoming aw are of majors, how to use the com puter and library resources, how to study for te s ts , w h a t a c tiv itie s a re offered on cam pus in both the social a tm o sp h e re as well as th e acad em ic one, an d w h a t com m ittees exist on the cam ­pus.

A n o t h e r i m p o r t a n t is su e involves in c reasin g the a c t iv i t ie s on th e S a in t Mary’s campus a n d th e fees for them (just th is y e a r th e s tu d en t activi-

and Peters t ie s fee w as in c re a se d su b ­

s ta n tia lly - over 200 percent). We need to offer more activities for students to get involved in on ca m p u s , an d m ak e S a in t Mary’s stand alone. The reason why we rely so heavily on Notre D am e is b e c a u s e th e y o ffe r great activities.

We need to do the sam e for Saint Mary’s. Some of our goals include increasing the activities a t Dalloways. In the past this place has been a popular hang out for students. We need to in­crease the student involvement there by offering m ore activities at such an inviting and conve­n ien t se ttin g . We n eed m ore b a n d s to p lay d u r in g th e D allow ays coffee h o u rs . On other nights we can offer a co­m edian to perform or a m agi­c ian to e n te r ta in s tu d e n ts . T hese suggestions a re only a few tha t if im plem ented would provide great activities for Saint M ary’s students, w ithout leav­ing campus.

DEBORAH SHEEDY AND ANGELA MCNULTYAs the time for cam paigning

w inds down, a few issues r e ­m ain . We have focused ou r cam paign on three crucial ide­als: building community, devel­oping identity , and im proving the social atm osphere on cam ­pus. We have taken these ideals and crea ted very specific p ro ­gram suggestions as a means of a c h ie v in g th e m . P ro p o sa ls

include Major-A-Month presen­tations, Big/Little Sister assign­m e n ts , a r e g u la r so c ia l exchange with W abash College, and the establishm ent of an all school video library.

I com m end and thank those who pu t g rea t efforts into the A ntostal week. U nfortunately, poor w eather conditions in the past have not allowed for maxi­mum participation. Let us not forget those hot sum m er days during the first weeks of school.

During one of those weekends we could possibly offer a Fall Festival that would allow Saint Mary’s to share w hat it has to offer socially , th u s hopefully improving relations with Notre Dame students as well as offer m uch excitem ent on cam pus. This w eek en d could e n ta il a huge picnic on the library green for s tu d en ts and faculty. The baseball fields offer extensive room to accom m odate gam es like those at am usem ent parks w here p rizes a re offered. We w ould a lso p ro v id e k a ra o k e booths, hot dog stands, fortune tellers, and establish a real ca r­nival for the weekend.

Finally our third most impor­tant goal involves strengthening re la tions with our professors. At a sm all college we should take ad van tage being ab le to get to know our professors bet­ter, outside the academic class­room . This w ould be accom ­plished by sponsoring faculty a n d s tu d e n t e v e n ts . T h ese events include, offering tea time a t D allow ays w h ere te a c h e rs and students can socialize in a relaxed atmosphere.

We could offer a picnic with faculty that would involve relay games and tournam ents where th e te a c h e r s an d s tu d e n ts would work together. With such a small college, we should take ad van tage of the opportun ity we h av e in e s ta b l is h in g a stronger relationship with our professors.

a c c u m u la ted over th e ir four years at Saint Mary’s. This ap ­p re c ia tio n can be deve loped w ithou t overlooking the w ill­ingness and enthusiasm fresh ­men can contribute to the col­lege co m m u n ity . By m ak in g complete use of each student’s/ class’ unique qualities, student leaders can improve efficiency and make better use of campus resources.

The Sheedy/ McNulty ticket reflects the distinct needs each class has by personifying a va­riety of different majors, in ter­e s ts , an d b a c k g ro u n d s . Members of our campaign com­m ittee included various class rep resen ta tiv es and residen ts from each dorm on cam p u s. O ur p la tfo rm w as th e n c o n ­s tru c te d usin g the collective concerns voiced in this meeting. We fee l th a t th is d iv e rs ity , incorporated into our platform, is one of our strongest assets.

T he fu tu re of S a in t M ary’s depends upon successful com ­m unication betw een d ifferen t class m em bers and dorm lead­ers. We believe the success we have enjoyed on Le Mans Hall Council this year can be repro­d u c e d on a la r g e r s c a le . Effective leadersh ip skills are not exclusive to a certa in title or position, but can developed in any n u m b e r of s i tu a tio n s with hard work and dedication.

Story:Hanks and Washington tell it well

P re p a re y o u rs e lf b e fo re you see Philadelphia. This film brilliantly tackles the challenging subjects of AIDS, homo­sexuality, and death. It takes risks and bold ly goes w h e re no film h as gone before. This movie had to be m ade and it does w onders for the A m erican film industry. It should win several Oscars.

From the elaborate opening sequence, it was clear that Philadelphia would be a p o w e rfu l film . T he s e q u e n c e sc a n s through the city of brotherly love show­ing us realistic images: real people lead­ing real lives.

It is shot with a pseudo-docum entary style and is a grand exam ple of filmic rea lism . The opening is en h an ced by Bruce Springsteen’s ballad “S treets of

Philadelphia,” the only song he has w rit­ten and perform ed for a movie.

The plot of Philadelphia is rem arkably uncomplicated. It traces part of the life of Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) who is a re sp ec ted a tto rn ey w ith a p restig ious law firm. He is eventually fired when the firm discovers that he has AIDS.

Determined to defend his professional reputation, Andrew hires fierce person- a l-in ju ry a tto rn e y Joe M iller (Denzel

Washington) to represent him as he sues his form er firm for w rongful te rm in a ­tion. Philadelphia thus becomes a court­room d ra m a p ittin g the firm ag a in st Beckett and Miller in a truly heart-ren­dering struggle.

Philadelphia is the first m ajor motion picture to directly deal with AIDS. Some of the m aterial is shocking but essential. Our society m ust become more tolerant and sensitive to AIDS victims.

This film is not just about social injus­tice and AIDS. It also openly dep icts h o m o se x u a l is s u e s an d one m a n ’s catharsis from extrem e prejudice to tol­e ra n c e . Joe M iller is tran sfo rm ed by Andrew Beckett. He learns to not only accept gays but even befriend them.

Philadelphia prospers from the am az­

ing hand of d irector Jona than Demme (Silence of the Lambs.) Demme trea ts the controversial topics with unassum ­ing tenderness. He is not preachy in a film th a t in te n d s to be. In s te a d , he m ak es h is p o in t a r tis tic a lly . Dem m e directs in a predominantly documentary style with multiple shots and continuous cam era movement.

However, he blends some avant-garde techniques in several key scenes. In p a r­ticular, Demme depicts Beckett dancing with his IV as he acts out and operatic a r ia . The se q u e n c e is trem e n d o u s ly m oving as H anks’ g estu res evoke the relentless pain and suffering of AIDS.

Tom Hanks has finally graduated from comedy. This is his first great dram atic perform ance. His Beckett is ambitious, optimistic, and loving. He is an honest

The creative writing program is p lan n in g the lec tu re series this spring in conjunction with the E nglish d e p a rtm e n t, and sp e a k e rs w ill inc lude m ostly m odern novelists, sh o rt story w rite rs , an d poets . W ach te l, to n ig h t’s k icko ff sp e a k e r , is noted for the integrity, authen­

ticity and vividness of his nov­els, Sayers said.

“In te rm s of w ritin g ab o u t A m erica , you cou ld say th a t he’s one of the most realistic,” she said.

W achtel, now associate p ro ­fe s so r o f E n g lish a t P u rd u e U niversity , w here he teach es creative writing, has previously ta u g h t a t S a ra h L a w re n c e College, New York University, and Skidmore College. His nov­els, “Joe the E n g in ee r”, and The Gates, were reviewed and p ra is e d a ro u n d th e co u n try , although W achtel had previous­ly only been well-known in the New England area.

P u b l is h e r ’s W eekly c a lle d “Joe the Engineer” an “aston­ishingly fresh first novel,” and the New York Times described

it as a “fresh, realistic look at c o m p a ra tiv e ly u n fa m ilia r ly social te rr ito ry ,” according to Sayers.

His work was popular around 1980 when “Joe the Engineer” came out, and is now enjoying a resurgence with Here, a col­lec tion of sh o rt s to rie s to be released in 1994, Sayers said.

One of the c rea tiv e w riting departm ent’s goals in its spring s p e a k e r s e r ie s is to cover a broad range of w riters and to expose students to as many dif­ferent types of w riters and gen­res as possible. W achtel’s work is m o d e rn re a l is t ic w o rk , S a y e rs s a id , an d h is b a c k ­ground will expose writing stu­dents to his modern style of fic­tion.

“We a re re a lly s ta r t in g to reach out,” she said. “We hope for our undergraduates to come in to c o n ta c t w ith as m any working w riters as they can.”

She s t r e s s e d th a t s in ce W a c h te l’s w o rk is know n th ro u g h o u t th e c o u n try , h is speaking here is a chance for exposure to national talent.

“He does really realistic fic­t io n ,” sh e sa id . “I t ’s a g re a t opportunity to hear a novelist of n a tio n a l s ta tu re to re a d and a n s w e r q u e s tio n s a b o u t h is working life.”

F o llo w in g to n ig h t’s ta lk , W achtel will give a fiction w rit­in g w o rk sh o p to m o rro w a t noon in the library lounge. Both the lecture , tonight a t 8 p.m ., and the workshop are free and open to the public.

Hanks, who lost thirty pounds for the character, does justice to a challenging role. His facial gestures reveal the reali­ty of AIDS and Hanks beckons the audi­ence into his feelings.

The ste llar cast also includes Denzel W ashington, who ably ca rrie s several g reat monologues as Beckett’s defense a tto rn e y . The p o ig n a n t re la tio n sh ip between Miller and Beckett is enhanced by W ashington’s initial h a tred tow ard hom osexuals.

The immense scope of the m aterial in Philadelphia is served admirably by elo­quent dialogue, creative direction, and impassioned performances.

Cardinals, Falcons are latest to make coaching movesBugel fired for performance in Phoenix Jones succeeds Glanville as Atlanta’s coachAssociated Press

TEMPE, Ariz.Joe Bugel, who received an ultim a­

tum before the season to produce a win­ning team , was fired Monday as coach of the Phoenix Cardinals after a 7-9 finish.

The decision by ow ner Bill Bidwill e n d e d m o n th s of sp e c u la tio n a b o u t Bugel’s future and came just more than a year after the warning to win or face dismissal.

The C ardinals did win four of the ir la s t five g am es, in c lu d in g th e ir la s t three, but it clearly was not enough.

He now becomes the fourth coach to be fired since the end of the regular sea­son , jo in in g B ruce Coslet (New York J e ts ) , J e r ry G lanv ille (A tlan ta ) an d Richie Petitbon (Washington).

Bugel w as 20-44 after four years in h is f irs t h ead coach ing jo b . S till, he enjoyed strong support from fans and players, and some players attributed the team ’s late-season success to a desire to save Bugel’s job.

“ W hile we had a good fin ish , our overall season performance was not sa t­isfactory, ” Bidwill said. “We will contin­ue our efforts to become a more talented and successful team this year. I have concluded, how ever, th a t to take this next step requires a coaching change.”

Bugel’s staff also was dismissed. His c o n trac t ru n s th rough 1994 while his a s s is ta n ts ’ c o n tra c ts en d ed w ith the 1993 season.

“ In talk ing to coach Bugel today, I told him that it was a very difficult deci­

sion, thanked him for his dedication and efforts on b eh a lf of the C ardinals the past four years and w ished he and his staff well,” Bidwill said.

Bugel, 53, was not immediately avail­ab le for com m ent. The team sa id he would m eet with the media Tuesday.

The ouster m eans the Cardinals are now without a coach and general m an­ager. Larry Wilson previously resigned as GM, and Bidwill said the search to fill both jobs will be completed as quickly as possible.

“ I w ant the Cardinals fans to know that I am going to do everything possible to build a winning team ,” Bidwill said.

A fter ra n k in g 24th of 28 team s in scoring in 1992, the Cardinals jum ped to fo u rth la s t se a so n . S teve B eu e rle in p a s s e d fo r m o re y a rd a g e th a n any Cardinals quarterback since Neil Lomax in 1988 and set a franchise record for passing accuracy.

Phoenix featured a 1,000-yard rusher in rookie Ron Moore and three players — Gary Clark, Ricky Proehl and running back Larry Centers — who caught more than 60 passes apiece. The line allowed the fewest sacks since 1978.

But the 7-9 record left the Cardinals two victories short of the winning record Bidwill sa id w ould convince him the franchise had turned around.

SUWANEE, Ga.Saying he was the man they wanted

a ll a lo n g , th e A tla n ta F a lc o n s on Monday nam ed June Jones to succeed Jerry Glanville as coach.

Jones, 40, is the Falcons a ss is ta n t head coach for offense, and once spent four seasons as the club’s backup quar­terback.

Falcons president Taylor Smith said he’s known Jones a long time and “we felt June’s the guy w e’d like to run our football team .”

The only other coach considered seri­ously w as form er Redskins coach Joe Gibbs. But, Sm ith sa id , th e R edskins refused to allow the Falcons to talk to Gibbs and he had heard from other peo­ple within the league tha t Gibbs would not coach in 1994.

Glanville w as fired Jan . 4 a fte r the Falcons w ere 6-10 for the second con­secutive season . He had one year r e ­m aining on a five-year contract. In four seasons w ith A tlan ta , Glanville had a 28-38 record.

Jones is a proponent of the run-and- shoot offense. However, in setting the team ’s first priority, he said: “We need to get better on defense.”

At a news conference at the Falcons training facility about 30 miles northeast of A tlanta, Jones said he and Falcons director of player personnel Ken Herock w e re co m m itte d to im p ro v in g th e defense th ro u g h free agency and the

draft.Jones said the key will be m anaging

the salary cap, which will put a limit on each team ’s payroll next year.

“We may need to make some sacri­f ic e s on o ffen se (to im p ro v e th e defense),” Jones said.

He said he has yet to pick any assis­tan t coaches but has several candidates in mind.

Asked abou t G lanville’s con ten tion th a t one of the te a m ’s p rob lem s w as tha t the football coach did not have the power to cut players, Jones said: “The football coach will m ake the decisions concerning the football team. Kenny and I see things pretty much the sam e.”

Jones said he and Herock have been ta lk ing abou t the team for a t le a s t a week to 10 days.

He s tre s s e d th e n eed to k eep th e nucleus of the team together in the face of free agency and said, “ The la rg est group that plays together offensively is the line.”

At le a s t one key m e m b e r o f th e Falcons line, guard Chris Hinton, is now a free agent.

While not mentioning Hinton or q u ar­terback Chris Miller, who also is a free agent, specifically, Jones said he thought his promotion to coach would help keep those players with the Falcons.

One player happy to see Jones get the job was quarterback Bobby Hebert, the only Falcon quarterback under contract for next year, who will undergo surgery next w eek to rea ttach a tendon in his throwing elbow.

Aikman fine, will be ready to play Sunday By JO H N F. BO NFATTI

A ssociated Press___________________

By DENNE H. FREEMANAssociated Press__________________________

IRVING, TexasTroy Aikman, who sustained

a concussion in Sunday’s 38-21 NFC championship victory over the San Francisco 49ers, is ex­pected to be healthy for the Su­per Bowl.

“Our doctors feel good about his prospects of playing in the gam e on S u n d a y ,” Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said Monday.

The Cowboys w ere to fly to A tla n ta on M onday to b eg in p rep ara tio n s for Sunday’s r e ­match against the Buffalo Bills. The defending cham pions will spend Tuesday involved in m e­dia interview s, and th e ir first practice was set for Wednesday at the Atlanta Falcons’ practice field.

Aikman w as re leased from Baylor University Medical Cen­te r on M onday m orning a fte r spending the night as a precau­tionary m easure.

“ He suffered a mild concus­sion and had no neurological d am ag e ,” team physician Dr. J R. Zam orano said. “ He had no dizziness, no headaches and no double vision. However, he co u ld n ’t rem em b er the past. I t’s ju s t a m a tte r of tim e and everything will come back.”

M ag n e tic r e s o n a n c e an d o ther scans w ere norm al, said Baylor physicians Robert Van- derm eer and John Coon.

A ikm an w as knocked dizzy on the second play of the third q uarter when he caught a knee in the helm et from 4 9 ers d e ­fe n s iv e en d D en n is B row n . Aikman spent time on the side­lines with smelling salts before th e Cowboys decided to take him to the hospital. He finished the day with 14 of 18 comple­tio n s fo r 177 y a rd s and two touchdowns.

Aikman was at Valley Ranch shortly a fte r his re lease from the hospital and is “ feeling very good,” Dalrymple said.

“ He rem em b ers very little from the game and had a good rest in the hospital,” Dalrymple said. “ He will be on our plane a t 3 o’clock when it takes off and is fully prepared to partici­pate in the week’s events.”

Bernie Kosar finished up for Aikman. He took over with the s c o re 2 8 -1 4 a n d h it A lvin H arper w ith a 43-yard touch­down pass.

“ Bernie came in and played s u p e r ,” Jo h n so n sa id . "H e d o e sn ’t get a lot of sn ap s in practice and works mostly with the scou t team . They blitzed him right away, but he made a big third down pass to Michael Irvin then hit Harper.

Thomas happy to (tick) off criticsATLANTA

Thurm an Thomas prefers a v a r ia tio n on th e te a m ’s new th e m e . No m a t te r how i t ’s phrased , the Buffalo Bills are back in the Super Bowl for the fourth straight year.

T he ra lly in g c ry , " L e t ’s (Tick) ’Em All Off and Go for F o u r ,” w as a l te r e d to p a ss m other’s muster.

“ Let’s use the bathroom and go for four,"’ Thomas said with a smile. “ I can’t say that word on television. My mom would get m ad."

No m atter how you phrase it. the Bills are back in the Super Bowl fo r a re c o rd fo u r th - straight appearance. That a lot o f p e o p le d id n ’t w a n t th em there is one of the big reasons why they came up with the slo­gan.

If th ere w as any doubt the Bills w eren ’t m otivated by the derision of others, all one need­ed to do w as to lis ten to the g lo a tin g to n e o f Jim K elly’s voice as he stood on the side­

lines after Buffalo's 30-13 vic­tory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship.

“We’re baaaack,” Kelly said to a television cam era.

T h a t ’s a s u rp r is e to th e many people who predicted the team would collapse after the 5 2 -1 7 lo ss to D a lla s in la s t year’s Super Bowl.

It was the latest — and easi­ly the w o rst — of the te a m ’s th ree stra ig h t Super Bowl de­feats. The legacy of losing Su­per Bowls spawned a variety of Bills jokes.

While others were laughing, the Bills quietly went about the task of p rep arin g for an o th er try.

Womens hoops knocked off by ButlerBy BRYAN C O N NO LLYAssisu m -Spo ris E d ito r-------------------

The Observer/ E. Ruethling

Irish head coach Muffet M cG raw saw her team fall to Butler 6 5 -62 last w eekend, snapping Notre D am e’s three-gam e win streak.

Freshm an stand-out Beth M organ’s game-high 18 points w eren’t enough to lead the now 11-5 N otre D am e w o m en ’s b a sk e tb a ll te a m p a s t Butler University last Saturday.

The Bulldogs pulled to an early 16-4 lead en rou te to snapp ing the Irish ’s th ree gam e win streak with a 65-62 victory.

Although Notre Dame narrow ed the gap to one point in the final minute, Liesl Schultz clinched the win for Butler by draining two free throw s with only 20 seconds left on the clock.

The Irish were unable to fully turn around the enorm ous first-half deficit as they battled foul je o p a rd y th ro u g h o u t the m atch . The sq u ad earned a season-high 31 fouls.

After shooting a dismal less than 30 percent in the first half, the Irish rebounded in the second half by shooting 47 percent and outscoring the Bulldogs 38-35.

Junior forw ard Letitia Bowen led the second

half surge by scoring 11 of her 12 points in the final stanza.

“1 thought we played with a lot of h ea rt,” she said, “but we had too many fouls and too many turnovers, and we ju st didn’t execute over the final m inutes.”

Notre Dame had 25 turnovers while Butler had 20 .

“I think in the first half it was kind of slow,” said freshm an forward Katryna Gaither, who had a gam e-high 10 rebounds. “We kept try ing to play hard defense, but the fouls just kept com­ing.”

“I was very disappointed because Butler is not a b e t te r te a m th a n u s ,” ad d ed Bow en, who pulled down eight rebounds while playing most of the second half with four fouls. “But they were up to play us and we just didn’t do the things we need to win.”

W ith th e loss th e Ir ish d ro p to 2-1 in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. The Bulldogs, who improved their overall record to 12-5, are now 3-1 in the MCC.

Harding gets support at home in response to attackBy JEFF BARNARDAssociated Press W riter

PORTLAND, Ore.Tonya Harding basked in the

a p p la u s e of sh o p p e rs w h ile skating at a mall Monday amid reports authorities have enough ev idence to a r re s t h e r in the attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan.

A u th o ritie s re fu sed to com ­m ent on The Oregonian new s­p a p e r’s re p o rt th a t investiga­to rs have enough evidence to charge Harding in the plot, but don’t w ant to act until they feel m ore sure of getting a convic­tion.

Four men, including Harding’s e x -h u sb a n d an d b o d y g u a rd , have been charged w ith con­sp ira c y in the Jan . 6 a tta c k . K errigan w as clubbed on the knee and forced to w ithd raw from the U.S. F igure Skating Championships in Detroit.

No new witnesses were sched­uled to testify Monday before

th e g ra n d ju ry , s a id N orm F r in k , d e p u ty M u ltn o m ah County district attorney. And no new w a rra n ts w ere issued in the case, said Douglas Bray, a clerk for Donald bonder, p re ­s id in g ju d g e in M u ltn o m ah County Circuit Court.

A u th o ritie s in D e tro it w ere waiting for the investigation in Oregon to conclude before issu­ing charges in the a ssau lt on K e rr ig a n , sa id D oug B ak er, Wayne County assistan t prose­cutor.

The grand jury has until Feb. 3 to issue its report.

M eanwhile, H arding had the sk a tin g rink to h e rse lf a t the Clackam as Town Center shop­ping mall. She hit the ice a t 9 a.m. PST and skated for nearly an hour, finishing w ith a p ro ­gram set to “When You Fall in Love.” The ro u tin e inc luded severa l trip le jum ps. H arding did not fall.

S h o p p e rs w ho s to p p e d to

w a tc h gave H a rd in g loud applause, while rep o rte rs and p h o to g ra p h e rs k e p t v ig il. A knot of supporters stood by the rink, w earing pink buttons say­ing, “We Believe in Tonya.”

S h o p p e r Ju d y W hetze l of Portland said she was uncertain w hether H arding took p a r t in p la n n in g o r co v erin g up the attack on Kerrigan.

“ I think my heart says no, but my head says yes,” she said.

Harding issued another sta te­

m e n t th ro u g h h e r la w y e rs claiming she was innocent.

“ 1 deny all allegations th a t 1 was involved in any way in the N ancy K e rr ig a n a s s a u l t ,” Harding’s statem ent said.

The four ch arg ed w ith con­spiring to assault Kerrigan are H a rd in g ’s e x -h u s b a n d , J e f f Gillooly; her former bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt; the alleged hit m an, Shane Minoaka Stant, and th e a lleg ed g e taw ay d r iv e r , Derrick Smith.

The Oregonian quoted uniden­tified sources as saying p rose­cutors are trying to obtain more h a rd ev idence to solidify the case against Harding. Eckardt, S ta n t an d S m ith r e p o r te d ly have implicated her.

E ckard t has told au th o ritie s Harding took part in cooking up an alibi, called Kerrigan’s p rac­tice rink to find out w hen she w ould be th e re , and b e ra te d Eckardt for taking too long to carry out the assault.

Strong second half gives Saint Mary’s 75-63 victory and third straight win

By KIMBERLY BEROSports W riter____________________________

T he S a in t M ary ’s C ollege b a s k e tb a ll te a m ch a lk ed up their third straigh t victory last night at Angela Athletic Facility la s t n ig h t, b e a tin g O livet College 75-63.

The C om ets, now 3-12 on the year, began the gam e ex­plosively , ju m p in g ou t to an early lead and holding it for the majority of the first half.

The Belles led by a two point margin for the last five minutes of the first half, but the Comets’ le a d in g s c o re r Molly G eisen sunk a field goal in the closing seconds to m ake the halftim e score 32-32.

“We ju s t got off to a slow, sluggish s ta r t . It looked like everyone was playing for them ­s e lv e s ,” s a id C oach M arv in Wood. “We w eren ’t sh a rp on either our passing or our shoot­ing. We h esita ted too m uch, and we w ere not mentally well- p repared.’’

The Belles w ere able to re ­gain the ir com posure and ex­ploded in the second half, with five straigh t points in the first few m in u te s to g ive S a in t Mary’s a 45-40 lead.

S a in t M ary’s co n tin u ed to dominate the game, as they in­c r e a s e d th e le a d o v e r th e Comets to 15 points by the mid­dle of the second half. This run w as d u e m ain ly to sh o o tin g from the field and a stifling de­

fense that held the Comets out of the lane and off the boards.

“Our tem po on defense was really down. We w ere slow in the second half, allowing Saint M ary’s to d ic ta te to u s ,” said O livet C oach N ancy V an Boozier.

T he C om ets s ta y e d in the game by relying on their three- point shooting. The team hit a total of eight three point shots, w ith M olly G eisen an d L ara D ied erich each sc o rin g four times from beyond the stripe.

“O ur o u ts id e g am e w as g o o d .” V an B o o z ie r c o m ­m ented. “We w ere consistent on our three-point shooting.”

T h e B e lle s w e re le a d by so p h o m o re J e n n ie T a u b e n - heim, who poured in 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

F resh m an K atie Lalli, w ho has continued to m ature in her first year in Saint M ary’s un i­form , fin ished th e gam e w ith 23 points.

“This game was very im por­tan t for us. Even though we s ta r te d the se a so n on a bad n o te (1 -7 ), th is is o u r th ird s tra ig h t w in , an d o u r co n fi­dence is building,” Wood said.

The Belles will be in action again this Thursday when they h o s t c ro ss-to w n riv a l B ethel College.

“This week will be a pleasure working at home and not trav­eling," Wood said . “W e’ll be w o rk in g on im p ro v in g o u r basics."

It’s a big m ountain to climb, recently with more valleys than peaks.

“I said at practice that I didn’t think we could shoot as poorly as we did (last Saturday) against M anhattan, ” MacLeod said. “We shot w orse.”

Loyola took advantage of Notre Dam e’s early offensive problem s, scoring 11 stra ig h t points m idw ay through the first h a lf to open a 24-7 lead.

W ithout Ali, Loyola promptly built its lead to 21. Matt Hawes came off the bench for the Ramblers to score 14 second half points. He had scored ju st 13 total points this season.

“W hen we lost Kerman, we had to go deeper on

The highlight of the weekend, h o w e v e r , w as th e e x c e lle n t doubles play of the Irish. Notre Dame w en t un d efea ted in six doubles matches.

Notre Dame was not flawless, however, during its dual match season opener. The m iddle of the lineup still rem ains a prob­

lem for the Irish.“We m ust toughen up the bot­

tom of our lineup,” commented Coach B ayliss, “the fact th a t Miami hung with us in the sin­gles m atches concerns me.

“There are still a lot of unan­sw ered q u estio n s ab o u t who will fill the roles of the lower sing les p o sitio n s,” he co n tin ­ued. “We still, however, had a good beginning to our sp ring season."
