Floods in southern Ohio kill two people The Associated Press

At least two people are dead and 11 missing after storms dumped up to 10 inches of rain on southern Ohio this weekend.

The body of a 16-year-old boy was found late Saturday in Adams County near the con- fluence of Blue Creek and Churn Creek, about eight miles north of the Ohio River town of Rome. Officials did not release the boy's identity.

Another body was found in Adams County Sunday morning, but Paul Howelett, director of the Adams County Emergency Man- agement Agency, would provide no details.

Howelett said at least eight people were missing after the Great Brush Creek left its banks and swept away their cars. He said authorities are using heli- copters, hovercrafts, boats and dogs to search for victims.

"We're still looking for people whose vehicles were stopped in flood waters," he said. "At least one washed downstream. Some of them are teen-agers. I guess

Craig Baker: guilty Fostoria man could spend life in prison

BGNIWI Photo by Hldckl Kobayuhl

Craig Baker is handcuffed after hearing his guilty ruling at the Wood County Courthouse Friday. Baker was found guilty of the stabbing death of University student Julie Kane on Sept. 7,1996, and will spend at least 18 years in prison. Sentencing for Baker has been set for Thursday at 3 p.m.

By JACK BUEHRER and SARAH BEDNARSKI The BC News

The accused murderer of University student Julie Kane was found guilty on Friday after nearly 10 hours of de- liberating by the presiding three-judge panel.

Craig M. Baker, 19, faced charges of aggravated mur- der, aggravated burglary, and felonious assault, but was convicted on the lesser char- ges of murder and burglary. Defense attorney Adrian Clmerman had conceded the charge of felonious assault earlier in the week.

Baker was charged with stabbing Kane to death and wounding her roommate, Tara Fahringer, after breaking into their 911 Mourning Dove Lane home on Sept. 7,1996.

The panel - judges Gale Wil- liamson of Wood County, Ju- dith Lanzinger of Lucas County and Joseph Schmenk of Defiance County - was un- able to reach a unanimous de- cision as to the aggravated nature of the murder and burglary. Baker could receive IS years to life in prison for the murder charge, 3-8 years for the felonious assault, and 6-18 months for the burglary.

Baker could have been sen- tenced to death had he been convicted of the greater

charge of aggravated murder, but instead faces only up to 24 1/2 years to life In prison.

Wood County Prosecutor Alan Mayberry was seeking the death penalty, but seemed upbeat after the verdict was announced.

"I was gratified that one or two of the judges agreed with us," he said. "Everyone did everything they could. I wouldn't change a thing about how we presented our case."

Scott Hicks, co-counsel for the defense, said he was satis- fied with the verdict

"I think it was a fair verdict based on our arguments," he said.

During the reading of the verdict, the families sat ner- vously In the crowded gallery, while Baker kept his hand over his eyes without looking up. After the court adjourned, the Kanes and the Fahringers gathered together embracing,

Kane, Fahringer families relieved trial is over By SARAH BEDNARSKI and JACK BUEHRER Tlw BC News

Friday was an emotional day in Judge Gale Williamson's courtroom as the verdict for Craig M. Baker, accused of murdering University student Julie Kane and assaulting Kane's roommate Tara Fahringer, was read.

As Williamson read the verdict, the Kane, Fahringer and Baker families sat motionless while Baker sat sobbing next to his attorneys Adrian Cimerman

and Scott Hicks. Charged with aggravated murder,

aggravated burglary and felonious as- sault, the three-judge panel convicted Baker of the lesser charges of murder and burglary, while maintaining the charge of felonious assault.

Roberta Kane, the victim's mother, wasn't satisified with the verdict and believed Baker did intend to murder her daughter.

"I felt that it was intent but the judges interpreted the law differently," Kane said.

As the families proceeded out of the courtroom, the Kane and Fahringer fa- milies embraced each other in support. The Baker family, visibly shaken, con- versed with Cimerman.

Aaron Kane, the victim's brother, was also upset over the verdict.

"I wanted to hear the death penalty today," Aaron Kane said. "She was the best sister, and he wasted her life."

Fahringer not only lost her roommate on the night of Sept. 7 but also her best friend.

"It's hard She was my best friend,"

Fahringer said. "It's doesn't seem like he got what he deserved."

Fahringer said that she is moving on with her life, which means continuing with school while trying to work through what happened.

As they walked out of the courtroom, an emotional Connie and Carl Baker said they will continue to support their son.

"Craig was a very good kid and never raised his voice; this is totally out of

'One year of spirit*

I 1 '

First anniversary of campus pride proves to be successful event ByDARLAWARNOCK The BG News

Freddie and Frieda Falcon each gave it two thumbs up.

And the BGSU Spirit Crew was happy to have the opportunity to crowd the stage with University President Sidney Ribeau.

It's all about building commu- nity, they say.

The first anniversary of spirit day was held Friday in order to promote pride and spirit at the University.

The last day of each month, the University hosts a spirit day in which free coffee and doughnuts are offered to the campus com- munity. Beginning in February 1996, focus groups developed the idea in order to build community.

The Idea of celebrating spirit day, according to Ribeau, came from the community itself.

"Spirit day Is a creation of the staff of BGSU - where people came together to promote spirit," Ribeau said •This is something that the administration fully

supports, but it was not our idea." He said he was glad to see the

community getting together to promote more spirit among the University.

"It's a wonderful activity that really emerged from the com- munity itself," Ribeau said "It's nice to get people together In- formally."

Dave Crooks, director of the University Union, said about 300 or 400 people at tented the event, as compared to last year's 600. He said he felt the operations went smoother this year, and that it was a better overall example of the community.

MIKE WENDLING

Living with a standardized culture One of the biggest lies of the

free market Is that "people get what they want."

There are two assumptions behind this belief.

The first Is that people are not only aware of all of their choices and are also able to somehow "look within themselves" and find the answer to the question. "What do I want?"

The second assumption Is that people are actually able to buy what they want.

The latter assumption alone is worthy of about a half-dozen opinion columns. Today, however. I'd like to concentrate on the first assumption and how It threatens American culture.

Tastes (In other words, "what people want") are determined In large part by outside factors. In fact, some psychologists would argue that taste is entirely deter- mined by outside Influences.

Think about that the next time you feel you "really want" some- thing.

On the surface, the social construction of taste doesn't seem to be a very big problem. After all, outside Influence can work for good as well as bad. Just as one's own psychological processes can be considered healthy or not.

The problem is a matter of context. To illustrate this, let me tell a historical story:

Early humans quickly discov- ered the benefits of travelling and living in groups for protection and the gathering of food. Against the forces of nature and the local wooly mammoth, people had only their brains to protect them.

Blessed with evolutionary luck, humans overcame natural threats to their existence and discovered agriculture, a development that led to cities. With cities came a certain amount of leisure time, the seed of what we call "culture."

Languages, music, and art began to develop. Given the size of the globe and the relative Isolation

and dispersion of the cities on It. thousands of different cultures sprang up and flour- ished, starting, as far as we can tell, about six thousand years ago.

This diversity of culture remained Intact for thousands of years, even through the Enlightenment and the Age of Exploration.

Then came the Industrial Revolution and the theory of capitalism. The two came hand in hand, and at the core of both Is mass production: the quick manufacturing of many, similar things, to be distributed to a wide variety of people.

Throw in the communica- tions revolution (first the telegraph, then the telephone, then computers and the Internet), and several things developed.

First, many people had a standard of living that was higher than any ever before seen In human history.

But also, and more Impor- tantly to this discussion, the walls between cultures began to break down.

For the first time In history, one could, through mass- produced books, movies, and records, know a great deal about a culture without actually having experienced this. This condition Is so pervasive that It seems trivial to us today. Consider what comes to mind when you hear about "Southern culture" or "Seattle sound" or "Greenwich Village." We know a great deal about these things even without experiencing them first hand.

Here's where the connection between wants and the break- down of cultural walls comes in. Not only do mass-produced mass media outlets shape our view of the world, but also our like or dislike of that world.

Thus our desire to buy the

latest Soundgarden record arises from the same forces as our stereotypical perception of South- erners as rednecks.

But who has control of our perceptions and Ideas about the world around us? In the early Isolated cities, the neighborhoods and local areas shaped human cultural preferences.

In present-day America, those communities have largely lost (or given up) control. The simple fact is that entertainment (read: culture) Is an industry, and control of American culture has shifted from localities to the metaphorical Madison Avenue.

This Is more than mere con- spiracy theory. The concentration of entertainment industries is well- documented and visible every day, from the latest copycat bands to mega-mergers between entertain- ment giants (ABC and Disney, along with CBS and Westlnghouse. immediately come to mind).

Drive for profit results in less- wanted cultural items (regardless of quality) being sacrificed at the altar of capitalism. Cutbacks in public television and radio are a good example of this In govern- ment.

With regards to large corpora- tions, you need only to look at this year's Oscar nominees for best picture to see the gulf between "quality" and "what people want." Four of the five nominees were produced independently (well, not exactly, but again, that's another column), and were not blockbust- ers. In the game of capitalism, these films were basically losers, or at the very least, only mild win- ners. And yet the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences decided that films few people "wanted" were the best films of 1996--quite puzzling to an econo- mist or a conservative, yet very logical In the eyes of an artist.

Unfortunately. It Is major news when something like the preceding occurs. What Is popular wins out

most of the time. Basically what this means is there Is a move- ment toward a standard Ameri- can culture: bland, derivative, vlolence-lovlng. scared of sex. rated R and on sale now at Wal- Mart.

Along with this standard comes subjugation of local culture. To take just one example, record executives could care less about what is happening in the places where they sell their records-unless. of course, what Is happening can be co-opted and sold to everyone else.

This leads to an Interesting cultural paradox--the average person is more familiar with the faraway world than the world he or she lives In every day. We have, through new technology, expanded our circle of con- sciousness; In the process, however, we have lost sight of the things closest to us.

To understand the Implica- tions of this. Imagine a tree growing hundreds of feet in the air, yet having no roots. Obvi- ously, the tree (our cultural selves) has little chance of surviving.

What kind of cultural lives do we hope to have If we have little connection to our own home- towns? Trying to find common links with other people Is tough enough without having to route such things through marketed culture thousands of miles away.

So support local culture, all the way from the BGSU art show to local bands to the dozens of plays, performances and lectures that occur each semester. It's about time to fight back, and to make sure that our trees have roots.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ignorance still plagues society

This letter is addressing the letter written by Penda L. Horton in the Feb. 18 issue of The Newt. That letter discussed an article written by a young man that shaves his head and has been asked on occasion If he Is a skinhead.

Ms. Horton wrote, "He does not have to live with hypothetical questions like that every day..." My question Is. how exactly does Ms. Horton know this? There are many people In this world that Judge by hair. One of my female friends has a short haircut and It Is often assumed that she is a lesbian simply because she has short hair. Also, simply because he only gave one example of this assumption about his personality does not mean it was the first or only time.

A second point made was that blacks are often accused of steal- ing and are followed around In stores. I have experienced that the same stereotypical thoughts are directed towards skinheads.

Another statement was. "It's okay for him to be a skinhead, but In this society Its NOT okay to be

black." I know of many people that think this statement is backwards. People chose to be hateful, racist skinheads, but nobody can chose the pigment of their skin.

Penda also states. "He has nothing to be mad at!" 1 would be upset If I cut my hair and people assumed I was a hateful, racist bigot! People come to the conclusion that because he has a shaved head, he is one of a long line of people who have suppressed and hated blacks for hundreds of years. If that is nothing to get mad at. what is?

There is. however, one point that I agreed with Penda on. "...Ignorance continues to plague our society like cancer. If |we| would take the time to educate and be educated, as we all should, these frivolous questions could be used as an opportunity to enlighten the minds of individuals in dark- ness."

Penda's race has been through harder times than that of the young man who shaved his head and was assumed to be a skinhead, but that still gives no one the right to declare that either of them Is not

struggling to get by in this crazy world.

do everything • check-In was slow but the staff was friendly

• needed more time to do everything

• friendly people Over 730 seniors. 500 Juniors,

and 100 transfers and sophomores attended. The key now Is to convert the seniors and transfers to enrolled students and the Juniors to applicants. I know that

many areas of campus. Includ- ing Admissions, will be following up with these students.

The program was a success because of your effort, along with the hard work of over 700 faculty, staff and students. The families I talked with were very impressed with the fact that everyone on campus was involved.

On March 5, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Assembly Room (McFall Center), there will be a Presidents Day debriefing. Admissions will give a brief report on Presidents' Day, but most Importantly, we want the community to have the opportu- nity to share their thoughts and Ideas.

Our goal is to make Presi- dents Day 1998 our best on- campus visitation day to date. Feel free to come and share your thoughts. If you cannot make the meeting, feel free to send me your comments and suggestions (mwalsh® bgnet.bgsu.edu).

Adminstrators' roles explained Speaker discusses BGSU as premier learning institution By MELISSA NAYMIK The BC News

Administrators hold a great deal of responsibility when it conies to making the University become the premier learning in- stitution In Ohio, according to Stephen Brookf ield.

The distinguished professor at the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn., presented the annual Gerald Saddlemire Lecture Fri- day. The focus of the event was "Becoming a Premier Institu- tion in Ohio: Looking at BGSU through the Lens of Learning."

Brookfleld explained that there are two main levels to every institution. The first one is broad organization and the sec- ond one is individualism, or the way each person works to en- hance the institution.

He said administrators have key roles in the development of the University, such as being mentors for students and bridg- ing the gaps between different and common interests.

Administrators must also be promoters of conversation, ac- cording to Brookfield, because oftentimes students feel they cannot interact with their professors on certain levels.

Brookfield stressed the point that more one-on-one contact should be made between the stu- dent and administrator.

"A good educator sees the stu- dent's viewpoints and puts them to use," Brookfield said.

Brookfield said it is very diffi- cult to establish institutions be- cause there are certain cultural diversity barriers to break through.

The first barrier is silence, which occurs on campus every- day. He explained that this is not the silence of not speaking to someone, but the silence of professionals not engaging in

conversations outside of the classroom.

Brookfield said faculty do not have feedback from students on how their class Is being conduct- ed, and they need some. Another problem he pointed out with silence is the lack of time. He said people are often "too busy" to speak to one another on a day- to-day basis.

The second barrier Brookfield Identified is cultural individu- alism. "Team teaching," as he re- ferred to it, is a soft option and is too time-consuming when it comes to teaching - teaching on an individual level Is much easi- er.

He said the last barrier is cul- tural secrecy, which means that professionals should publicly display their faults to overcome it. Many times administrators hide their mistakes because their credibilty is questioned, Brook- field said.

In order to break the barriers, he said administrators need to change the reward system and focus on modeling people in power.

"Before reaching the students, administrators must first model themselves," Brookfield said. "Administrators must model how students learn first."

Administrators need to focus on the students' needs as well as their needs In order to secure and maintain status of the Univeristy and to continue campus commu- nity life, he said.

The Gerald Saddlemire lecture is an annual division of Student Affairs held In memory and honor of Saddlemire.

Edward Whlpple, vice presi- dent of student affairs, said the late Gerald Saddlemire achieved a great deal for the University.

According to Whipple, Saddlemire's biggest contribu- tion to the Univeristy was the huge impact he made on many students who have graduated from the University.

"Teaching and learning are the implications for the entire cam- pus community" Whipple said.

SPIRIT Continued from page one.

"Over the year we learned how to handle this," Crooks said. "[Fridayjwas much more repre- sentative of spirit day. It gave people a chance to sit and talk and visit. I think that's what real- ly happens."

He explained that anytime the University extends a hand to reach out to the students and faculty, people are more likely to respond.

"It gives you that sense of community," Crooks said. "It

The Bakers said they feel for the Kane and Fahringer families.

"We send bur 100 percent sympathy out to Julie and Tara's families," Connie Baker said. "We can't even begin to know what they are going through."

Roberta Kane said she and her family will continue living their lives despite their painful loss.

"It would have given us more closure if he would have gotten the verdict he deserved," said Kane's mother, Roberta, while righting back tears. "I could have accepted life in prison, but not this. One of these days he will get his."

Baker's stepmother, Connie, did not deny her son's guilt, but was bitter that he was the only one singled out as being involved.

"We agree with [the attorneys] on Craig's involvement," she said. "But we do think there's other things to look into."

Connie Baker wanted Craig Matthews, the host of the party attended by Craig Baker the night of the murder to face char- ges for providing Baker - a minor - with alcohol.

"There's no sense in having the law if it's not going to be enfor- ced," Connie Baker said. "It's like putting a gun in a baby's hand."

Baker will be sentenced by Judge Williamson in a hearing on Thursday afternoon.

Reports of fraud, financial problems damage university

The Associated Press

WILBERFORCE -- Reports of fraud and damaging sanctions against Central State Universi- ty's athletics program have bol- stered debate over whether to close the school.

State legislators, for the first time, are discussing the mechan-

ics of closing Ohio's only histori- cally black public university. Plans, though preliminary, deal with how to serve the state's black students.

"The vast majority of black Ohioans in higher education are not at Central State. They voted themselves to go to integrated institutions. It (CSU) has self- destructed," state Sen. Gene Watts, R-Gailoway, said in a sto- ry published Sunday In the Day- ton Daily News.

State officials estimate the school's debt as up to $20 million. Legislators must decide whether

to continue to fund the school beyond July 1 and whether to ap- prove a $10.3 million package to pay off debts to vendors.

Last week, the university suf- fered three blows: ■ Inspector General Richard

Ward released a preliminary re- port that suggested CSU officials had engaged in "numerous in- stances of fraud, waste and abuse" that could result in crimi- nal prosecution. Ward concluded that the school's culture of ignor- ing or defying oversight is so deeply embedded that a virtual state takeover was necessary.

■ The NAIA charged that CSU's football program know- ingly allowed ineligible football players to compete in games and punished the entire athletic de- partment by banning all teams from participating in postseason play. ■ State Budget Director R.

Gregory Browning revealed that CSU will need millions more in state dollars to repair buildings.

Frederick Ransier, chairman of the board of trustees, ac- knowledged that the develop- ments provide ammunition to legislators.

Quadriplegic chooses marijuana Patient defends use of illegal drug to ease suffering The Associated Press

OREGON - Pain or prison. Dan Asbury, a quadriplegic,

had that choice nearly a year ago. He didn't choose pain.

The choice was simple for the

bor. They found 12 plants grow- ing in his garden.

Asbury was convicted last March of one count of trafficking in marijuana.

Then came the choice. Lucas County Common Pleas

Judge Ruth Ann Franks suspend- ed a two-year prison term and put Asbury on probation for that length of time - on the condition he stop smoking marijuana.

Asbury said he has lied to his

probation officer about quitting. He said he quit only for one week.

His probation officer, Laura Stamos, declined to comment. The judge, through her secretar- y, also said she had no comment.

At the time, the judge said it was clear that Asbury was using marijuana as medicine. But she also warned him that the court did not condone the use of mari- juana and that he could go to

prison if he violated probation. So why is Asbury speaking out? He said he is angry that state

lawmakers are trying to repeal a law that allows people to defend their possession of marijuana for medical use if they have a doc- tor's recommendation. The pro- vision was part of a 1,000-page overhaul of Ohio's criminal sen- tencing system last year.

More than 20 states have simi- lar laws.

WASHINGTON - When Lance Contrucci and his wife were sep- arated in August, she gave him a copy of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dating." She knew he would find the dating scene con- fusing after seven years of mar- riage.

But the 40-year-old writer exchanged the book for a novel and set out to explore and enjoy New York City's singles world. He was in for a shock.

"They were all the same. They all looked like they're from the cast of 'Friends,'" said Contrucci, recalling the 10 women he dated before meeting his current girl- friend. "They'd automatically have a knee-jerk response to laugh at one of my jokes or be complimentary or demure."

"It was obvious they'd been reading those silly books on dat- ing," he added. "There's no place for romance and fun any more. It's almost like the business world has infiltrated the personal world."

These days, going out on a date is like taking an exam: Memorize the rules - Which ear is appro- priate for whispered sweet noth- ings? - or flunk.

That's the message of largely self-appointed experts on love who dispense advice in books, videos and television and radio shows on how to flirt, overcome shyness and ask for a date and tips on dealing with jealousy, commitment-shy men and unre- quited love.

"It's like anything else In life. If you want to do it right, there are Just certain rules one fol- lows," insisted Ellen Fein, co- author of "The Rules," which has been 20 weeks on The New York Times best sellers list

Judy Kuriansky, author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dating," now in its fourth print- ing, compares dating to riding a bicycle, exercising or being in a play. "You have to exercise your dating muscles," she said. "At first the exercises and the tech- niques may feel like they're forced.... but once you have your lines down you can be a little more natural."

What about spontaneity? "It can come after you close the deal at stake," Kuriansky said.

Psychoanalysts say people buy the books because parents rarely

The dating books are not the answer, said Samuel Brown, a psychoanalyst in Atlanta.

"They're trying to give us some mechanistic rules for be- havior when the real issue is how do you feel about yourself and what do you feel comfortable with," she said. "If you play by the rules of the book, there's no true connection."

And often too calculating and silly:

"When your hair falls in front of your face, you tilt your head back and comb back your hair with your hand from the top of your head in a slow, sweeping motion," "The Rules" says.

Kuriansky's book even has a detachable "refresher card" to keep in your wallet for emergen- cies, say, a resounding "no" from the potential lover.

24 dead after 'a year's worth of tornadoes' Tfie Associated Press

UTTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Nicho- las Word was standing on his front porch when the tornado struck, smashing his tiny wood- frame house off its foundation and hurling him and the wreck- age into his neighbor's yard.

"When I woke up, there was just rubble - rubble and fog," Word said Sunday amid the dev- astation of Saturday's killer storms. "All I can tell you is, it's the worst sound that you'd ever want to hear in your life. But I guess I cheated death."

The storms killed at least 24

people in Arkansas, ripping through Little Rock, Arkadelphia and smaller towns.

It seemed like "a year's worth of tornadoes," Gov. Mike Huck- abee said Sunday.

There was a possibility the death toll could climb as rescue workers worked in Sunday's driving rain to pull away the wreckage, authorities said.

More than 200 people were in- jured and hundreds of homes, businesses and other structures were destroyed or damaged along a 260-mile path from Hempstead County in the south- west to Greene County in the

state's northeastern corner. The same huge system of

thunderstorms also killed up to seven people in Mississippi, Ken- tucky, Tennessee and Ohio on Saturday. Flooding forced scores of people from their homes in West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio.

Huckabee said he would seek a federal disaster declaration covering at least eight Arkansas counties.

"The term I'm using to de- scribe it is 'apocalyptic propor- tions,'" the governor said after flying over the damage in Little Rock and Arkadelphia. "There is

[the teen-agers] don't know bet- ter than to go into flood waters with cars."

To the east in Scioto County, authorities were looking for three people reported missing after a doublewide trailer was washed out in the Shawnee State Forest area in the western part of the county.

"The mother claims the three were in the trailer when it was washed out by flash flooding. We haven't found them and don't know if they were in the trailer," said Kim Campbell, director of the Scioto County Emergency Management Service.

Campbell said flooding dam- aged more than 200 homes. She said damage is estimated at $10 million for private property and

$20 million for public infrastruc- ture.

"The devastation Is county- wide," Campbell said. "We were hit very hard."

Some areas of Adams County had 10 inches of rain, said Steve Wilkinson, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington. He said the Great Brush Creek had risen to the sec- ond highest reading on record at 31 feet. The record is 33 feet set in 1962.

Authorities rescued hundreds of people Saturday - many from the rooftops of their homes. Shel- ters have been set up in hotels, fire stations and churches.

The village of New Boston, just east of Portsmouth and about 85 miles south of Columbus, was hit particularly hard. Local officials and residents called It the worst

DATING Continued from page four.

Laura Banks and Janette Barber felt "The Rules" was so strict and offensive that they wrote a par- ody, "Breaking the Rules," which tells women to lighten up and en- joy dating.

"We are rebelling against this scientific approach to dating," Banks said. "So we say get a job, buy some stocks, live your life. If you meet somebody, fine. If not, you don't disappear because you're not with a guy."

Oh, if you still haven't guessed the answer to the ear question:

disaster to hit the town since the Ohio River flooded in 1937. Cars and debris floated down streets, and floods damaged bridges and pipes throughout Scioto County.

In Lawrence County, about ISO people were evacuated Saturday and Sunday as water came out of the banks of creeks throughout the county, said a Lawrence County sheriff's department dis- patcher.

Roads and bridges were dam- aged, but there have been no re- ports of injuries, said the dispat- cher, who would not give her full name.

An estimate of flood damage will not be available for several days, said Nancy Draganl, spokeswoman for the Ohio Emergency Management Agency.

no way to describe the level of damage we have."

Weather specialists had not yet determined if the area was hit by one tornado or several, said Renee Fair, warning coordina- tion meteorologist for the National Weather Service office at North Little Rock.

"I lost my sister in this," Netra King said tearily as she stood in the corner of her own home, still standing in suburban College Station. Her sister, Barbara King, 40, was one of three people confirmed killed in the communi- ty southeast of Little Rock.

"Right now, the only thing that we can do is try to get Important papers out. That's all that we can do," Ms. King, 36, said as she scooped up insurance cards and legal documents drenched by rain.

The hardest hit area was the Sardis community of Saline County, west of Little Rock, with 10 confirmed dead.

Rescue workers meticulously searched through the twisted de- bris of a demolished mobile home park in Sardis on Sunday, while many residents returned to what was left of their homes for the first time since the storm.

Jeremy Taylor, 23, crawled on his stomach underneath his over- turned mobile home in Sardis. ."I just want to find a ring, the one my mother gave me for gradua- tion," he said.

Taylor was not home Saturday when a tornado slammed his trailer onto his pickup truck.

Falcons claim MAC title BG ends 14 years of frustration in 99-70 win By JIM TOCCO The BG News

Everyone knows the Falcons are a last-minute team.

So it's not surprising that they waited until the very last day to win the regular season confer- ence championship.

With a convincing 99-70 vic- tory over the last-place Central Michigan Chippewas Saturday afternoon, BG earned a share of the title. With a toss of the coin just hours later, the Falcons earned the top seed in this week's Mid-American Conference Tour- nament.

Entering the day, three teams - BG, Ohio, and Miami - were tied atop the MAC. OU dropped an 82-73 decision to Western Michigan, but Miami kept pace with a 66-52 victory in Akron.

Just after 6 p.m.. MAC com- missioner Jerry Ippoliti tossed a coin to decide whether the Fal- cons or Redskins would earn the top seed. That coin landed in the Falcons' favor. That means they will host Toledo in the first round of the MAC Tournament Tuesday evening.

For coach Jim Larranaga and the rest of the Falcons, it was the realization of a long-held dream.

"Every day when the players leave the locker room, they are asked to tap - just as a reminder - a photo of the championship ring that was given to the men's basketball team In 1983," he said. "Every player and every coach, everyday - as a reminder."

NBA-bound Antonio Daniels started the game off in grand fashion - with a 3-pointer on his first trip down the floor, then a steal and a showtime jam. Dan- iels led the way for the Falcons with 32 points, eight assists and four steals. He also equalled a career high with three treys.

By the time four minutes had elapsed, BG already held a 14-4 lead. The Falcons did not trail the entire game.

Over 4,000 fans watched as BG pushed the first-half lead to 25 at one point before entering the locker room with a 48-27 lead.

"At halflime, I asked them not just to tap the picture, but to palm it - to grab at it," Larran- aga said, "knowing that in 20 minutes, all of the hard work

£ MEN'S BASKETBALL

"But the more I see of life, the more I see it as an ongoing journey..."

Jim Larranaga BG coach

could pay off with a champion- ship ring."

BG demonstrated that work ethic in the second half, extend- ing the lead to 31 points at one time. Everything went the Fal- cons' way in the second half ex- cept one thing.

Three and a half minutes into the second stanza, Anthony Stacey went to the floor, clutch- ing his right ankle. The injury turned out to be a moderate ankle sprain. He is "very doubtful" for Tuesday's game.

Coach Larranaga was relieved and reflective after the game, putting his coaching career in perspective.

"If someone had told me when I first came here that it was go- ing to take me 11 years before I woo my first championship, I would have said, 'No way, I can't survive that.' But the more I see of life, the more I see it as an on- going journey.. and the thing I'm most proud of is the people I've surrounded myself with and the people [with whom] I've taken this journey on."

One of those people Is his son, Jay, who added 19 points for the Falcons. Senior center Koen Rouwhorst chipped in a career- high 12.

The Central attack was led by Charles Macon, who managed 24 points, and Bill Slack who added 21, with five 3-pointers.

BG committed just eight turn- overs, a season low. And from the first second to the last, they never stopped running.

"They played inspired basket- ball, as we knew they would," CMU head coach Leonard Drake said.

Seniors not finished yet

There are two ways to look at the careers of Bowling Green seniors Antonio Daniels and Jay Larranaga after Saturday's regu- lar season finale against Central Michigan:

Either the dazzling is almost over, or the dazzling is just get- ting started.

The Falcons would like to be- lieve the latter. By virtue of its breezy 99-70 win over the Chip- pewas, BG has earned the Mid- American Conference title for the first time in 14 seasons.

And, with the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament that starts Tuesday with a quarterfinal round game against Toledo at Anderson Arena, the Falcon seniors are determined to get the three more victories that will send them to the promised land of the NCAA Tournament.

"This is what we worked so hard for," said Daniels, drenched in (non-alcoholic) champagne after scoring 32 points with eight assists in the victory.

"But our team really under- stands that this isn't the end of it. We have goals that we set in the beginning of the season, and this is just one step as far as getting to our further goals."

Two incredible careers are nearing a close in Daniels' and Larranaga's. The two were hon- ored in pregame festivities Sat- urday along with Koen Rou- whorst, the team's other senior, and manager Jamie Kachmarik.

The crowd of 4,084 shook the Anderson Arena rafters with thunderous applause when Dan- iels and Larranaga were present- ed with framed jerseys.

The two senior guards, ranked fourth and 19th, respectively, on the BG career scoring list, could have taken the opportunity to wax poetic about the past four years, but instead stayed focused on the coming week.

Falcon flames put out by Central Chippewas roll past BG with tight defense

"Anytime that they thought that they were going to step up to the table, we did a very good job of shutting them down."

By JASON McMAHON The BG News

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - The Falcons thought they were on fire But Bowling Green found it- self a little camp fire compared to Central Michigan's blazing in- ferno.

The Chippewas drowned the visiting Falcons Saturday with a suffocating defense that held Bowling Green to 33 percent shooting in a 73-55 Central win.

Despite the loss, the Falcons will still host a Mid-American Conference Tournament quar- terfinal game Tuesday night at Anderson Arena. The Falcons (14-12, 11-7 MAC), as the fourth seed, will host a Ball State team that was slaughtered by Toledo last nigh:.

The Chippewas (11-15, 7-11) dominated the whole game. Through the first 11 minutes, Bowling Green could only mus- ter eight points, while Central bad rattled off 19. In that time, 014 Falcons were blocked three limes and turned the ball over on shi other possessions.

•Our defense today was awfu- lly good," Central coach Fran Voll said. "I think we were really

£ WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

able to keep BG from getting into any type of flow."

Meanwhile, Central's Tracy Renken was in a flow. The 6-foot forward, who quite possibly has been the MAC's best player over the second half of the season, turned the game's first half into a personal highlight show.

Renken drilled a 3-pointer to open up the scoring and hit an as- sortment of baseline, pull-up and turn-around jumpers to lead the Chippewa surge. By the time the senior exited with her third foul with two minutes left in the half, she had scored 11 points and turned away two Falcon shots.

Central carried a 33-21 lead into halftlme. The Chippewas were shooting at a 56 percent clip. Bowling Green shot a mea- sly 8 -of -25.

The Falcon Inside game was nonexistent. Two put-backs off Sara Puthoff misses from Char- lotta Jones and Sherry Kahle were the only conversions Bowl- ing Green got from under the basket. More often than not, when the ball went Into the paint,

the Falcons either turned the ball over or were denied by the Chip- pewas.

"We had no inside game," Fal- con coach Jaci Clark said. "We didn't have touches and no offensive rebounds. For shooting so poorly tonight, you got to get to the boards."

Bowling Green was seemingly granted a reprieve 13 seconds into the second half. Renken was whistled for her fourth personal foul, sending her back to the bench.

The Falcons took advantage, getting baskets on their next three possessions from Puthoff, who tied Jones for the team lead with 14 points, and Jacki Rater- man. The six-point run cut the Chippewa lead to six at 33-27, when Voll called a timeout.

The breather fired up the Chippewas, as they came out scorching hot, compiling a dead- ly 15-2 run. By the time it was over. Central had a commanding 48-29 advantage.

Fran Voll Central Michigan coach

Jones finally ended the Falcon drought by springing for the next eight Bowling Green points. But Central had an answer each time.

"We made the key shots," Voll said. "We made any shot that was needed to tum BG away. Any- time that they thought that they were going to step up to the table, we did a very good job of shut- ting them down."

With 6:45 remaining, Renken re-entered. With 6:02 remaining, she re-exited, having committed her fifth foul. But the Falcons could not capitalize, and they would get no closer than 14 points the rest of the way.

"Everybody else was playing pretty well for them," Clark said. "They stepped up and shot the ball extremely well. They're playing with a lot of confidence right now.

"It was a case that maybe Tracy struggled today and other people stepped up and played well. We needed that from our team."

The Chippewas had four players score in double figures. Guard Kerry Nora and backup center Ebony Rainge led the squad with 13 points apiece. Freshman Shelly Woods, another backup center, chipped in 12, and Renken added 11.

Central now owns the MAC'S second-best second-half record at 7-2, behind a Toledo team that the Chippewas beat on the road. They open the MAC Tournament at second-place Kent, a team they beat last week.

Victory a sweet one for Voll

The victory was VoU's first against Bowling Green. The two- time MAC Coach of the Year was the head man for the Falcons from 1984-91, winning four con- secutive MAC Tournament championships from '87-90.

In his first season at Central, Voll spoke of what it meant to get the win against his old team -

and his alma mater.

"The BG game would always be a special game," he said. "I have nothing but re- spect for those folks. But you always want to win."

However, he emphasized the most important thing was for his

"He didn't make a whole lot of mention of it this week, but we knew that it was in the back of his head. We definitely wanted to get a win for him."

Tracy Renken Central Michigan forward

speaking about CMU coach Fran Voll's matchup

against Bowling Green - the team he used to coach

players to win, no matter who the opponent, and that he couldn't get caught up in nostalgic rival- ries.

"My thing is different than theirs," Voll said. "It's important I keep my focus on them. They don't play that game through me. Players play against players."

Nevertheless, his star player said Voll's connection to Bowling Green gave the whole team add- ed motivation.

"He didnt make a whole lot of mention of it this week," Renken said. "But we knew that it was in the back of his head. We definite- ly wanted to get a win for him."

leers battle to scoreless standoff Nine seniors given emotional send-off

Goalies steal show in defensive struggle By JIM TOCCO The BC News

They say American fans love a high-scoring game.

But if the thunderous noise from the 4,825 fans at Saturday night's first-ever scoreless tie in Falcon history is any indication, that simply isn't true.

BG played Michigan State to a flatfooted tie through 65 minutes in a night that sealed Bowling Green as the fifth-place team in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. Ending in fifth place means that BG will travel to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., next weekend to face Lake Superior in the first round of the CCHA playoffs.

BG goalie Bob Petrie and MSU netminder Chad Alban shined in the double- shutout.

Alban was solid, turning away 28 Falcon shots, and Petrie ~ - playing in his last collegiate game at the Bowling Green Ice Arena - rejected 30.

"It's kind of ironic," Petrie said. "I started my career out with a shutout [Oct. 22, 1993, against Ohio State], and I went out with a shutout"

Petrie saved sure goals at least five times, turning away an offensive scoring machine that managed 13 goals on him in two previous games.

"Bobby played outstanding," Falcon coach Buddy Powers said. "He was under control, and I didn't think I saw him hit the panic button even once... He played a terrific hockey game."

G HOCKEY

Michigan State has had two previous scoreless ties in its his- tory, the last being Feb. 19,1954, in a draw with Michigan. It was just the second scoreless tie in CCHA history. In the only other, Miami and Notre Dame blanked each other Dec. 10,1994.

"This game was like old time hockey in my estimation," said Spartan coach Ron Mason, the winningest coach in college his- tory. "It was a tough, grinding game.

"That's about as spirited as I'- ve seen Bowling Green. It's the first game in a long time that I've seen them come out with that type of intensity."

Bowling Green did indeed play spirited hockey, playing a clean, physical game. After a tense first period that saw seven penalties assessed ~ including a five- minute major and game miscon- duct that forced Dan Price to leave the ice - only one penalty was dealt out in the last 25 minutes of play.

For BG, it was the second time being shut out this season. The first came on Nov. 15, 1996, against Miami. The last time BG shut out an opponent was Feb. 16, 1996. It was the first time the Falcons were shut out at the Ice Arena since Nov. 8, 1980, crack- ing a string of 303 games that BG got on the board.

"I'm kind of frustrated," Alban said. "You play one of your best

Swimmers claim fifth at MAC meet

By MIKE LEONARD The BG News

The Bowling Green wom- en's swim team finished fifth out of six teams at the Mid- American Conference Cham- pionship meet in Ypsilanti, Mich, this weekend.

Bowling Green accumulated 388 points at the meet, 19 points behind fourth-place Toledo. As expected, Miami University ran away with the meet. The Redskin women earned 833 points over the weekend, more than 100 points better than second-place Ohio University.

The weekend was not with- out success for the Falcons. Head coach Randy Julian was voted as Mid-American Con- ference Coach of the Year.

In the pool, the Falcons' biggest success came from freshmen Nancy Simpson and Bethany Budde. Simpson placed third in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.50 seconds.

Simpson's biggest success came in the 200-yard back- stroke in which she finished second - BG's highest place - and broke Jody Reed's record in that event with a time of 2 minutes 3.04 seconds.

Simpson also broke Reed's 100-yard backstroke record in the preliminary race with a time of 56.99 seconds but faltered and finished sixth in the event finals. Freshman Sarah Abell finished seventh in the same event.

Budde managed three top- five finishes. Budde finished

fourth in the 200-yard individ- ual medley, fourth in the 200-yard breaststroke, and third in the 100-yard breast- stroke. Budde was satisfied with her performances this weekend but was ecstatic when she heard that Julian was voted Coach of the Year.

"I was happy with my places," Budde said. "I almost cried when I heard that [Ju- lian] got [Coach of the Year]. It was the icing on the cake for our season."

BG's outgoing seniors also managed to put forth a good effort in their final meet. Cap- tain Leanne Shelly managed three top 10 finishes earning sixth in the 200-yard individu- al medley, eighth in the 200-yard backstroke, and fifth in the 400-yard individual medley. Junior Julie Hrusov- sky placed seventh in the 200-yard backstroke.

Senior diver Traci Sander- son had a good meet as well. Sanderson placed 16th in the one-meter diving competition but placed third in the three- meter diving event. Sander- son's three-meter score of 446.15 points was good enough to automatically qualify her to dive at the NCAA Zone Meet in Minnesota, the precursor to the NCAA Championship meet for diving.

The women's season is now over, but the men's team will finish their season this week- end as the MAC Men's Cham- pionship Meet will be held be- ginning this Thursday on the campus of Miami University.

Todd Kelman brings the puck over the blue line in Saturday's scoreless tie with Michigan State. It was the first 0-0 tie in BG history, and only the second in CCHA history.

games... you shut them out and only get a tie out of it. It's a little frustrating.

"There's nothing Petrie an<* I could do to win it," he continued. "We just went out and got the job done."

Western Michigan could have passed BG and secured fifth place in the CCHA with a win over Ohio State last night, but they ended up in a 3-all tie, giving BG fifth place.

If Western had won that game, it would have sent the Falcons to

East Lansing to face MSU again in the tournament. Instead, BG must make the seven-hour plus journey to Michigan's upper pen- insula.

Powers was indifferent to the result.

"If we have to go up there, we have to go up there," he said.

"We know they're a great team," added co-captain Mike Johnson. "But if we're focused we can beat them, just like any other team."

By BLAKE PARKINS The BC News

A near-capacity crowd showed up Saturday to honor the senior hockey players in their last game at the BGSU Ice Arena, as BG dueled to a 0-0 tie with Michigan State

The original class of Dale Crombeen, Matt Eldred, Jeff El- vin, Curtis Fry, Mike Johnson, Todd Kelman, Kelly Perrault, Bob Petrie and Brett Punchard was recognized for their career achievements prior to the start of the game.

Elvin, who was greeted with an outburst of applause, had his col- legiate career ended premature- ly by a car accident.

The Apple Valley, Minn, native was coming to BG to begin class- es for his sophomore year when he was was involved in a wreck that totaled his Jeep. Elvin sus- tained multiple internal injuries that prevent him from playing competitive hockey.

His rehabilitation in the months that followed serve as an inspiratation to the team. Elvin still actively works out with the Falcons and skates in informal games.

Another Falcon that walked to center ice to be recognized was Curtis Fry, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained last weekend at Ohio State. Fry has been a consistent scorer for BG all year, as has fellow captain Mike Johnson. The duo currently share a team lead for points with 55 apiece.

"[The seniors] are good hockey players," Falcon skipper Buddy Powers said of the talented core of veterans. "Mike Johnson and Curtis Fry had the best year of their career."

Eldred, a defenseman who has improved his plus-minus rating to plus eight, said that he was moved by the boisterous fans at the Ice House.

"I almost cried," Eldred said candidly. "We got great crowd • support. I'm going to miss this place a heck of a lot."

Fellow blue liner Kelman said the seniors played well in their send-off performance. Kelman himself broke up many MSU scoring chances down the stretch.

"We all played hard, the seniors played well ... it's the kind of game that you want to see to give the fans something to come back to next year," Kelman said. "If we're not going to win, it's a next to perfect game."

Kelman was also shaken by the emotional experience.

"I haven't had butterflies like that since my first game against Toronto," Kelman said. "It was pretty emotional knowing that it's your last game. It's hard com- ing off the ice for the last time."

Punchard, whose season was 12 games shorter this campaign due to a broken ankle, said that his time here at BG has gone by too fast "I knew this day was going to come, but I didn't think it would come this fast." Punchard said. "It's been a good four years, but now it's time to move on."

Falcons serve up weekend wins By RYAN JOHNSON The BG News

The Bowling Green men's ten- nis team successfully defended their home court twice this weekend to get back in the win column after a four-match losing streak.

The Falcons (3-4) swept the University of Dayton, 7-0, on Fri- day and handily defeated Kala- mazoo College, 5-2, on Saturday. The convincing victories put BG back on track as they look ahead to future macches.

"This weekend is definitely a step in the right direction." BG coach Jay Harris said. "These matches are a good preparation as we head into next Friday's match with Cincinnati."

Bowling Green's match with Dayton proved to be of little chal- lenge to the Falcons, as BG swept every set of every flight over a shorthanded Flyers squad.

^ TENNIS

Senior Joel Terman played at No. 1 singles for the first time this season for co-captain Adam Tropp, who sat out the match Terman defeated UD's Steve Thompson 6-1,6-0.

At No. 2 and No. 3 singles, sophomores Radu Bartan and Matt Wiles each won two set matches. Bartan defeated Jeff Keckley 64), 6-2, while Wiles beat Dan Altineau 6-1,6-3.

Junior Ryan Gabel was victor- ious at No. 4 singles against An- drew Shipp, 6-4, 6-1. In the last two singles flights, a pair of Fal- cons picked up their first singles victories of the season. Fresh- man Sonny Huynh won 6-3, 6-3, against Dave Necessary and jun- ior Scott Yonker shut out Bill Karban at No. 6 singles 6-0,64).

BG convincingly defeated the

Flyers in all three doubles matches. Tropp-Gabel won at No. 1 doubles 8-4, Wiles-Yonker teamed up at No. 2 to win 8-5, while Bartan-Huynh cruised in the last flight, 8-2.

"The Dayton match was a good match to help turn around our season," Gabel said. "We came out this weekend pretty fired up to prove to ourselves that we are a good team."

Kalamazoo College came into Saturday's match with the Fal- cons as the top-ranked Division III team in the nation. The Hor- nets were overmatched by BG's depth and experience, as four

Falcon netters won In straight sets on their way to a 5-2 victory. Bowling Green also won two of three doubles flights for the final point.

At No. 1 singles, Tropp was

defeated by the top player in Di- vision III, Kalamazoo's Adam Norlander, 6-3, 6-4. Tropp ap- peared to be the better player but fell victim to some tough breaks. At the No. 2 flight, Terman con- tinued his weekend's success by defeating KC's Zach Tann 6-2, 6-2.

Bartan and Gabel were victor- ious in the middle singles flights, winning 6-2, 6-0 and 6-3, 6-4, re- spectively. Huynh was defeated at No. 5 singles by Dan Harding, 6-3,6-4, while Wiles picked up his second win of the weekend in the last flight 6-3,6-2.

The Tropp-Gabel and Bartan- Yonker tandems won doubles matches against Kalamazoo while Dave Anderton and Wiles were defeated in a close match, 8-5.

The Falcons return to action this Saturday when they travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bear- cats at 7 p.m.

Gymnasts fall to Cardinals, judges By WILLIAM SANDERSON The BC News

One of the most difficult things about a sport like gymnastics is its dependence on judges for the end result. Consistency in judg- ing does not always occur, and Bowling Green's loss to Ball State was a case in point.

The Falcons remain winless in the MAC, falling short 188.4S0-186.4O0 in Muncie, Ind. Bowling Green's overall record stands at 1-4, with all four of their losses coming against con- ference opponents.

Despite the loss and the ques- tionable judging, Falcon head coach Dan Connelly was optimis- tic about the team's effort.

^ GYMNASTICS

"We had 18 hits, and we lost the meet," Connelly said. "We were definitely the better team. Usually I dont get into the judges, but this meet the judging was weak. I was really happy with our performance.

"I think we were underscored by three or four points," Conne- lly continued. "This is just specu- lation on my part. When judges come right out and admit it, it is rather blatant. We had a 9.55 on a hit on bars by Lesley Malucci. Usually that would have been a 9.6 or a 9.7."

Ball State's Sarah Mikrut dom-

"We were definitely the better team."

Dan Connelly Falcon gymnastics coach

mated the meet. The senior swept each individual event and won the all-around with a 39.250. As has been the case since the second meet of the year, no Fal- con gymnast competed in the all- around. Three other Cardinals were in all four events.

Bowling Green's top finishes included three third-place fin- ishes and a fourth. Jackie Haft's 9.700 was Bowling Green's highest individual score in any event. Also taking third was Ma-

lucci on the bars and Kim Pope in floor exercise with scores of 9.350 and 9.625, respectively. Sarah Grealls' 9.550 was good for a fourth-place finish on the bal- ance beam.

"Our whole vaulting team did a good job, particularly Jackie [Haft] and Erin Klingenberg," Connelly said. "On the floor exercises, Erin and Kim Pope did a good job."

There are now two weeks re- maining before the MAC Cham- pionships. Bowling Green will host their final home meet of the season this Friday against Western Michigan. Their last regular season meet will be at Central Michigan, who is hosting the MAC Championships.

"I'm not really thinking about that much right now," Larranaga said. "Right now, I just want to be [regular season] MAC champs. Now that's over, I want to win on Tuesday and win on Friday and Saturday."

Daniels, on his way to a first round selection in the NBA Draft, hit on 12 of his 16 field goal at- tempts against Central Michigan, Including three of four 3-polnt at- tempts.

Larranaga was next on the scoring list with 19 points Satur- day, Including seven rebounds.

The seniors were then the first two up the ladder in the post- game ceremony to cut down the net.

"This was a big game for us as seniors and for us as a team," Daniels said. "It's been one of our goals since we reported back to school. Everybody put In the hard work and the commitment needed to get the job done."

Daniels, with 1,707 career points, is within range of second- place James Darrow (1,740) on the BG scoring list. He will finish in second place on the all-time as- sists chart and could end up with the second-highest single season scoring total in school history.

Larranaga, the son of head coach Jim Larranaga, will finish his career as the most prolific 3-polnt shooter in school history. A career at the next level is also within his reach.

Those accomplishments are on the back of those two players' minds, however.

"I'm more focused on our goals: winning the MAC Tourna- ment, getting to the NCAA Tour- nament." Daniels said.

At a time when the Falcons could easily have reflected, there was no nostalgia.

There was only a de- termination, and a feeling that this team's best - with Daniels and Larranaga leading the way - Is yet to come.

Embry denies rift with Fratello The Associated Press

CLEVELAND - There has been no discussion about whether Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Fratello will be let out of his con- tract after the season, team president Wayne Embry said Saturday.

"We're in the middle of a season," Embry said after Cleve- land's 99-81 victory over the Bos- ton Celtics. "And he's got this year and another year on his con- tract. Period."

Embry said he was concerned about a report in Friday's New York Post that Fratello might be allowed out of the last year of his deal with the Cavs. Embry said his comments at the league's competition meeting during Ail- Star weekend were misinter- preted as a rift between himself and Fratello.

"I dont know how that could be construed," Embry said.

Embry said he merely made general comments on low scoring and defensive-minded coaching styles in the NBA.

"It has nothing to do with my relationship with Mike," Embry said. "Absolutely nothing to do with it."

New York Post columnist Peter Vescey predicted in his column that Fratello would be allowed to pursue other options after this,

his fourth season in Cleveland. The column named Notre Dame coach John MacLeod and Cincin- nati coach Bob Huggins as possi- ble successors.

Embry said he has talked with neither coach.

Huggins, who is friends with Embry and Fratello, said Friday, "I have so many other things to worry about right now, trying to get this team ready to play. I don't even want to think about those things."

Fratello has led the Cavaliers to the playoffs three straight seasons. Cleveland is currently in the seventh playoff spot in the
