The Madness has arrived

WSU's Nationally recognized Prof 1999 Ralph E. Teetor Educational Award won by Mitch By KATHERINE L. GUTWEIN Assistant News Editor

A Wright Stale University engineering professor has been nationally recognized as one of the top educators in his field by the Society of Automotive En-gineers (SAE).

Mitch Wolff, an assistant professor of mechanical and materials engineering at WSU, received the 1999 Ralph E. Teetor Educational Award this month and will now take part

in the five day SAE Interna-tional Congress and Exposition in Detroit.

The award is part of the SAE Teetor program that seeks to improve communication be-tween engineering educators and practicing engineers in in-dustry and government.

"The Teetor program will help me gain a better under-standing of key auto research issues. By collaborating with engineers in the auto industry. I'll have an opportunity to in-vestigate how my research in

the gas ''irbine field can he adap jd into the auto industry." said Wolff.

Wolff has been at WSU since 1995 teach-ing undergraduate fluid dynamics and thermody-namics as well as gradu-ate computational fluid dynamics. His specialty is gas turbine research, which he conducts at the Compressor Aero Re-search Lab at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

Book Swap soon to be in effect at WSU Starting finals week save money for Spring Quarter supplies By KATHERINE L. GUTWEIN Assistant News Editor

Wright State University's Student Government will hold a book swap during finals week to give students the opportu-nity to save money on school supplies for Spring Quarter.

"We will provide cards for buyers and sellers to fill out the book title, edition, author and the ISBN number on the back. They also need to leave their e-mail address or phone number SJ they can be contacted about the book," said Jennifer Buckley, SG representative for the College of Nursing and Health and one of the coordi-nators of the book swap.

Partitions will act as bulle-tin boards for each college where the cards will be posted for students to look over and then take what they need. It is then up to the two people to arrange the exchange of the book.

It is not necessary for buy-ers to bring the books they want to sell during the book swap, they just need to have the cor-rect information for the card. Any extra cards will be held in

the SG office for the beginning of next quarter in case people want to use them.

"The bookstore has been very helpful and cooperative with this. They are providing us with a list of all the books that have been requested by professors that will be updated daily, that way if students have questions about a book they can ask whoever is there from SG," said Buckley.

A stipulation of being given a list of books everyday is that SG not to reproduce it in any way or let it out of their hands. Any questions about a book must be taken to the SG repre-sentative working the book swap.

"Students should also know that the book list will be orga-nized alphabetically by author, they will need to have the author's name in order for us to help them quickly. We will sup-ply a list of suggestions on how to be smart about book swap-ping as well," said Buckley.

Suggestions include taking safety precautions by meeting people you don't know in pub-lic places, like the Atrium, and double checking the informa-tion someone wrote down about

the book on the card. "SG is doing the book swap

to help students, but we cannot be responsible for someone buying the wrong book. We can only provide them with the in-formation we arc given and can' t control things like whether or not a professor later decides the book isn't neces-sary or they read a card wrong." said Buckley.

Several ideas on how to run the book swap were discussed, but SG felt that the final deci-sion was a good one based on what is done at other colleges.

"We heard that Ohio North-ern University has a book swap structured similarly to how we're doing ours and it seems to works fairly well. Everyone in Wright State's SG has been working hard on this, so hope-fully ours will go well too," said Buckley.

The book swap will take place in the Student Union Atrium from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 15-19. Any questions >. an be directed to the SG office in W024 Student Union by call-ing (937) 775-5508.

Trade at WSU International University recognized for business efforts By KIM FRICKE News Writer

Wright Stale University has been selected as a host institution for the National Association of Small Business International Trade Educators (NASBITE).

" W r i g h t State has an ex-ceptional repu-tation in the in-ternational trade c o m m u n i t y , " said Sarah S. McCue. 1998-99 NASB1TE president mmmmmmrm

N A S B I T E was formed in 1988 to pro-mote involvement and com-petitiveness of small busi-nesses in international trade. NASBITE's goals are to help professional development, the exchange of information and advocacy for international trade education professionals.

WSU will recruit new members for NASBITF, man-

aging the organization's fi-nances and organizing the association's international con-ference in Detroit.

Among WSU's nationally-recognized international trade efforts are G-TRADE (Global Trade, Relations, Assistance.

V v right State has an exceptional reputation in the international trade community."

- S a r a h S. M c C u e , 1993-99 N A S B I T E p r e s i d e n t

Development and Education program) and the Project CHILE G-TRADE.

G-TRADE consists of a new undergraduate international business major, international trade counseling for businesses and an executive certificate program in international trade and graduate student intern-ships. Project CHILE sends stu-

dents to Chile tor commercial Spanish language training and an international trade man-agement internship.

"Those programs are all surrounding international trade management, which we directly link to the niche of

this organiza-mmmmmmmm tion," said Jef-

frey Meyer, WSU director of I n t e rna t i ona l Trade Pro-grams. "Not only do we know how to manage an orga-

mmmmmmmmm ni/.ation WC are actually doing

the things NASBITE proposes to do."

NASBITE membership is a "who's who" of interna-tional trade education profes-sionals from colleges and uni-versities, economic develop-ment organization's, federal and slate agencies and the pri-vate sector.

Wright State University has mplcmentcd a new required

course for all business and management students.

The new course in the Col-lege of Business and Adminis-tration focuses on environmen-tal issues and how they affect the business community.

"The focus of the course is on environmental issues and how management understands that th se issues affect busi-ness," said Mark Cordano. as-sistant professor of manage-ment.

Cordano was hired last fall to teach the new course titled "Managing Technology and the Natural Environment."

Environmental problems arc out there. It's a permanent issue. Somewhere in your man-agement career, you will deal with these issues," said Cordano. The course focuses on environmental issues sur-rounding the United States and the planet.

Cordano says this includes old issues such as water pollu-tion and ozone depletion and new ones that the Environmen-tal Protection Agency is only

beginning to discover. "This course is an impoi

tant addition to the COBA cur-riculum because of the increas-ingly important role techno-logical 2nd environmental is-sues will play in business deci-sions during the next century," said Crystal Owen, chair of the Department of Management.

"Students will need to un-derstand regulations," said Cordano. "They have to under-stand how the underlying envi-ronmental issues affect soci-ety."

During the course, students will learn how to run businesses more effectively knowing these issues, how to include impor-tant strategies and to under-stand how these environmental issues affect the bottom line.

"You may not do it from day to day. but you have to understand the function," said Cordano.

Cordano emphasizes that he's trying to give future man-agers a broader knowledge of this area, not to make the stu-dents professionals in the envi-ronment area.

For more information on the course, call the Department of Management at (937) 775-2290.

Summer program goes abroad again By CHERJANET LENZY Spotlight Writer

Wright State University's Univer-sity center for international education provides a summer ambassador pro-gram lor students wishing to study abroad.

The ambassador program takes prospective students to Japan or Brazil for three weeks. The trip only costs $2300to travel to Brazil and $2500for Japan based on 1998 prices. Hie cost includes round trip airfare, all ground transportation and tours, trawl health and acc ident insurance, most mcals.all lectures in language and culture while overseas, accommodations. Visa pro-cessing fees, and the orientation pro-gram.

"Don't let not Inning money hold you hack. You can't gauge it on a money scale," saidOaudctte McBcth, former ambassador.

According to Maricy Schmitz, di-rector of Exchange and Study Abroad Programs, financial aid can be used to fund die program.

"The program can be the most remarkable cx|vrience,'' said Schmitz.

Academic credit is also available for prospective ambassadors. Accord-ing to Schmitz, students can apply for independent study for up to four cred-its. Students will leave for Japan on June 20 and return July 14. Students wishing to travel to Brazil will leave the US on July 18 and return Aug. 6.

A pro-departure orientation in-cludes monthly on-campus meetings during Spring Quarter. These meet-ings give ambassadorsa rough outlook of the country they will travel to. This will assist in their overseas stay. Stu-dents will also be required to take a pass/fail language session through the University Centcroflntemational Edu-cation. Tlx. session embodies lessons of basic communication and cultural noims of <*nch host country.

Interested students can apply for the Ambassador Program the begin-ning of Spring Quarter in the Univer-sity Center for International Education in EI90 SU. For more information contact Schmitz at (937) 775-5745.

After 23 years of dedication to various offices at Wright State University. Michelle Mar-tin was named the assistant di-rector of Affirmative Action.

Martin started out at WSU in the Office uf. Financial Aid and has been transferred to the News and Information office, (the previous name for Com-munications and Marketing), the Admissions and Records of-fice. the Office of Minority Re-lations, and the Boiinga Cul-ture Resource Center.

Martin has been in the Af-firmative Action office since 1983. According to Martin, working in the office provided her with great experience.

Some of Martin's duties will include helping the director with the affirmative action plan and hearing complaints on al-leged discrimination cases.

"I also work as a mediator," said Martin.

Before Martin was named the assistant director, there was

no position for an assistant di-rector. There was a mediator who worked part-time in the office, but in 1997 he retired. In the meantime, Juanita Wehrle-Einhorn, director of

Affirmative Action, has been performing the mediation ser-vices.

Martin still has to go through the mediator training in Co-lumbus.

Martin received her Bach-elor of Science degree in orga-nizational management from Wilberlorcc University in 1996

Martin said that people gen-erally think affirmative action is negative. She would like to make known that affirmative action isn't about quo-tas.

"It means to give people a chance without any barriers," said Mar-tin. "I would hope to make the university com-munity as a whole to be aware that we are here -have more people use our office more."

Martin, along with Wehrle-Einhorn, is also a member of the Dayton

Michelle Martin Intergovernment Equal Employment Opportu-

nity Commission. According to Martin, the DIEEOC was set up to help deal and discuss is-sues with equal employment. They hold two seminars a year, one in spring and one in fall.

Feminist ethics of exclusion? Professor thinks men in class hurt women's education

BoslonCollege Professor Mary Daly hascanceleda women's studies course she had planned to offer and taken a leave of absence rather than allow a male student to attend her class on feminist ethics.

Daly has offered to teach the course to the young man, but only as an independent study, thereby depriving him of the vital give and take of ideas that characterizes a university classroom. This hardly seems fair.

It also hardly seems in keeping with a movement that seeks transformative change

in the name of equality.

Her desire to create "women's space" is admirable. However, that place should not be in a classroom at the expense of other student's learning experience.

This male student should be applauded and embraced for his fforts to understand

and relate to the women's movement, not castigated and alienated. A lone man in a women's studies class is in an unenviable position. A .lot of anger is icxpressed in those i classri Kims, anil many

men feel scapegoated for a system that was initiated many centuries before they were born. It's a brave decision to willingly walk into that situation.

Perhaps the fact that Daly's female students support her is most disheartening of all. Daly might be forgiven for not having noticed that it is no longer 1969, but her students should know better. The quote on CNN online was, "I don't want to teach anyone about why I feci c* -ressed, why we live in a patriarchy—I don't want to waste my energy on that." It's possible that this quote was chosen precisely because it sounds so reactionary. None of the other female students are quoted. But

ifcducatingthe other half of the population is a waste of energy, then that is an incredibly sad slate of affairs.

Exclusion cannot be effectively protested by engaging in the politics of exclusion. An eye for an eye is a woefully inadequate response, and defending the practice of reverse sexism only undermines Professor Daly's cause.

Somehow, insisting on teaching a C1P;S outlining the evils of patriarchy only i n a room lull of women seems a bit like preaching to the choir—invigorating, certainly, but not likely tn result in a wave of

iters to the editor

Intramural refs a pretty sorry sight l recently had the opportunity to visit the campus of Wright

State University and am writing in an effort to call to the attention if your readers an experience that 1 had while there.

On the evening of Wednesday. February 17. 1999. I was asked by several friends lo attend their intramural basketball game at the Nutter Center. As the daughter of a former coach and an avid basketball fan. 1 was thrilled to attend. That is until I got :o the game that night

From my understanding of and personal experiences with ntramural sports, I strongly believe them to be both a \ aluable

nd necessary part of the collegiate experience. Such activities afford students the opportunity to come together fiutside of the academic arena to release energy, reduce stress, have fun, and in general, learn to appreciate the value of teamwork.

Rather than watch a game that embodied these ideals, however, I was

unfortunately witness to one in which the meaning was almost entirely lost at the hands of an official who apparently did not comprehend the meaning of leaving ones biases at the door.

As one poor call after another emanated from his mouth. I watched in horror, shock, and disbelief as the game became less about two teams playing intensely against each other than about one team responding hard to the lack of professionalism and in general, unsportsmanlike behavior exemplified by the referee.

I would come to learn at the close of the game that this official apparently had some personal issues with members of the team I had come out to watch and I would leave the Nutter Center in disgust.

As a 24-year-old high school teacher from Boston. Massachusetts, 1 am no stranger to immature behavior. In fact, it is very much a part of my daily existence.

When demonstrated by 15.16. cv en 17 years old individuals, however, there is something almost endearing about the nature of such behavior.

On the flip side of the coin, there is nothing endearing about witnessing such a display on a college campus exhibited by a person with a judiciary role in the sports arena. If a student cannot call a fair game, then he or she should not be allowed to call one at all.

OPED Cultural Of/wan Monica—Iconography of a Gen-Xer woman

She subverted bimbo image to come across as a very bright girl

By Angelle Haney

So. now we all have finally gotten a peep at Ms. Monica Lewinsky.

Happy now? I am, actually. I wrote a

column about her not so very long ago, and made quite a few conjectures about her personality

I am happy to say that, for the most part, I was right.

She came across as funny, and bright, and sensual. She made me feel stronger, watching her be honest and intellegent and charismatic, and not a bimbo.

Granted, I'm not sure that I would have referred to the President of the United States as my "sexual soulmate" in my first national television appearance, but, hey, that's me.

But I thought she came off

great. She was poised. and pretty (she has killer eyes) and I, for one, was proud of her.

I looked at her, and saw somone very similar to myself and many other women my age that I know.

She made a stupid sexual choice. I've done that, and I'm not a stupid person. And. thank god, neither is she.

I thought it was very brave of her to give a voice to feelings that a lot of women (me included) have and aren't very proud of—that she felt bad about her weight, and didn't think she deserved to be number one in a man's life.

Been there, done that. Like Monica. I too hope never to be in that frame of mind again, but it's

a daily battle. When she spoke about how

important Bill Clinton's compliments, such as "Have you lost weight?" were, I nearly-cried.

Who doesn't want to hear that from the person they're

attracted to? She said a

few things that obviously threw Barbara Walters for a loop. But 1 think that was Barbara getting caught in the generation gap more than anything.

For instance, she seemed shocked that Monica would tell her girlfriends she was getting hot

ith Bill. Monica said, "Of course 1 told them. We're tight."

Exactly. I. too, have girlfriends with

whom 1 am tight, and they know a fair amount of my sexual secrets. Mostly the embarrassing

and heavy v

ones. Okay, especially the embarrassing ones.

Babs asked Monica why she told her friends about the cigar and the infamous blue dress.

The look of blank non-comprehension on Monica's face was beautiful. She gave the greatest answer.

"Because it was funny." Lines like that, as well as her

definition of oral sex as "fooling around" just go to show how very different we arc from our parents. I forget that, sometimes.

Monica sounded very bright and even classy. She didn't stutter or fiddle with her hair (the slick-backed do helped). I thought she looked very grown up for her age. My age.

And, granted, she had a year to think about what she would say when she finally got the chance to talk. But she came off fabulous.

letters to the' editor

Emotion key in abortion I must contend that the glaring

conflict over abortion can only be solved by emotional measures. Ms. Haney, in her article regarding the Feb. 24 abortion insert (Ah, that sacred soapbox), states that the included photos of abort edchildren are intended to "deliberately manipulate people's emotions." She goes on to say that the pictures arc "exploitive, disrespectful. .<nd inaproriate."

The entire problem lies in making the issue solely an intellectual one. To insinuate that an issue related to human life should not be treated with the utmost of human emotion is simply absurd. To separate the mind and heart is intellectual suicide. Every day our intellect is not only affected by our emotions, but many times driven by them. Emotionalism in and of itself does not automatically deem arguments illegitimate. The fact remains that abortion is. and will remain, an emotional issue. To sec it as anything else is to downplay the significance of human life.This specifically holds true on the pro-life side of the coin. I believe it

would be accurate to assume that the overwhelming majority of those persons defending the pro-life view do so simply because they cringe at the idea of destroying an innocent human life. That is, and should be their only motivation. What other agenda should they possess?

Just as courtroom photos are revealed to convince the jury of the utter inhumanity of the acts performed, so do these photos reveal the atrocity of abortion, and thereby convince the heart. Could that be why there is such a great outcry against these graphic pictures? Perhaps they stir up guilt and shame in those who see the child's liny human features. I suppose it might be best to hide this inhumanity, and thereby allow our consciences to remain numb to the cruelty. By the way. who is being "exploited" in all this? Surely, we hear no political outcry from the dead babies.

At the same time, we should give multiple options to those choosing to give birth. For instance, to avoid the health risk involved in abortion, a woman could simply

give birth and then consider such options as baby shaking, drowning, trash-can abandonment and a variety of other methods that would torture and kill achild just as easily as an abortion, and yet avoid personal injury. Surely. I hope most of you find the previous sentence repulsive. In all seriousness, the above acts are considered to be some of the most heinous and heartless crimes. Ironically, the murder of an even more defenseless child by abortion is not simply allowed, but condoned.

Many might argue that the child—I mean "specimen"—is not a human being yet. If you acknowledge that the aborted fetuses are human life, and still support abortion, then I suppose I have no argument with you. I alone cannot convince you that human life is infinitely valuable. If. however, you say that aborted babies are not human life, then just look at the pictures. What are they?

Books found cheap I would like to take this time to thank the school for making new textbooks readily available for the students here at Wright State University.

SPOTLIGHT Trip to India offered insight and enlightenment

By REBECCA ARTHUNGAL For The Guardian

Last August, ( left Dayton on a three-month trip to Tamil Nadu, a state in southern India.The purpose of the trip was to participate in India's National Literacy Project along with several students from Stella Maris College in Chenna i , India . This opporutnity was made pos-sible by the sponsorship of the president, provost, Colleges of Business and Liberal Arts, and the Universtiy Center for International Educational.

I went to India excited and expectant. My four years at WSU, with all those intellec-tual courses, along with my

heritage being that of a first-generation Indian-American, made me feel confident that I was equipped to handle an in-ternational experience. I was warmly received, and thanks to the assistance and wonder-ful hospitality of the faculty and students of Stella Maris College, it was an awesome experience, both culturally and academically.

I woke up the first several days feeling like I was in a d i f f e ren t world. A world which, at times, was shock-ing. moving and evenjpmus-' ing. At all times, it was fasci-nating. If you peeped into a window of that world you would see crowds of people, children cycling to scliool. college students on buses so crowded that some of the more daring ones would ride hang-ing onto the door handles and fisherman/women walking the streets with baskets of the day's catch balanced on their heads. You would see and

"My Sister's Sister" performing at WSU By JASON SEAMAN Spotlight Writer

The Muhi Purpose roomwil! be hosting "My Sister's Sister" March 14 at 3 p.m.

"The play was written in 1992, and has been on the road ever since," said Bob Mullins, general manager of Community Education at the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Ser-vices.

This autobiographical play completes the trilogy written by Julie Portman, called "Family Al-bum." She will be accompanied by a live music performance by Paul Reisler of Trapezoid.

"My Sister's Sister," takes place during the '60s in Boston, Mass. It involves Julia, a woman who sets her dreams and goals off to the side, because she wants to aid her sister who has been diag-nosed with schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a disease

when you lose touch with reality, have irrational patterns of think-ing and have hallucinations, along with various disturbances emotion -ally, cerebrally and behavioral.

Mary Jo. the sister with schizo-phrenia, needs continuous atten-tion from the hospita! and consis-tent medication.

"Theatre goers gain a new per-spective on a way a mental illness can effect a family. They can also learn about their own feelings to-wards that," said Mullins.

ThcADAMHS for Montgom-ery County, Wright State Univer-sity, the Greater Dayton Mental Health Foundation and several community agencies have banded together to fund the production of this play.

A S3 donation is being asked per person.

It felt like a time travel experience as well. When we would leave the dusty hustle-bustle of the city for villages, driving along dirt roads that cri|scrossed lush green paddy fields just a^ thev have for thousands g f f l i s j f y . It is a world paraf f i^^uf^ i^ t rans i -tion, hi-tcc'httOlogy, and illit-eracy equally^l^Jtf iii ancient traditions and scholarship.

The projec t centered around three rural villages, each of them about a two-hour bus ride from the downtown metropol is of Chennai . I. watched college students .unlV professors from Stella Maris College use the "Each One Teach One" philosophy to teach literacy skills to illiter-ate women. I learned that among village women, read-ing skills are not particularly valued for the sake of educa-

tion - it wouldn't feed the fam-ily. it wouldn't get the work done. These were women who had never sat within the halls of a school, never heard about how reading takes you into un-explored worlds.

Teaching literacy skills means that you give sou one a skill that makes reading im-portant.

We worked to accomplish this by teaching the village women the craf t of soapmaking. After learning how to make soap, they learned how to market it com-mercially and sell it to their neighbors and nearbs villages

Adding literacy to (his eco-nomic empowerment effort ^makes sense to them because "if directly impacts their abil-ity to market their products and hence their profits in-crease. In the end, the family benefits and the whole village benefits.

Through increased finan-cial stability, these newly lit-

erate women will be more likely to influence their chil-dren towards the same goal. Thus, the National Literacy Project has found this method to be very effective in pro-moting literacy in underde-veloped areas.

While there are hindrances and disappointments along the way, the movement is gaining momentum. In India, college students like you and I are a key to the efforts to reach the illiterate. It was an enlightening expcrierce on the true value of an educa-tion, however limited that education might be.

Personally, it was also a unique opportunity to mea-sure the value of my own edu-cation.

Ideas that 1 had tossed around in classroom discus-sions-cultural diversity, eth-nocentrism and economic em-powerment - came back to me as I watched the effec-tiveness of the project unfold.

Skydiving club beginning By JASON SEAMAN Spotlight Writer

There were various clubs and activities to participate in high school such as the chess club, for-eign language clubs, Future Home-makers of America, National Hon-ors Society and so on.

Now at Wright Sate, a club will be starting that will knock your socks off. The Skydiving Club is being started with your support.

"It is an awesome thrill," said Lesley Pohlenz, president of the Skydiving Club.

Adrienne Cassel, advisor and Wright State lecturer, will be jump-ing for her first time at the event.

"I am doing this because I am afraid to death of heights, so I want toovercome my fear. I love an adventure and this is a differ-

ent experience," said Cassel. Skydivc Green County wel-

comes anyone daring enough to jump from the plane at the affair. "It's a great challenge, it's exhila-rating and a great way to make new friends," said Cassel.

Other local schools will be par-ticipating at the event, including students from Ohio State, St. Clair and Central State.

For students who want to jump, the cost is $155 per jump. During the first four jumps you are at-tached to a professional, but after that you may go solo. After 20 jumps, you get an A_^ l i c e n s e and the .ate

jump decreases. The club will be meeting at

Skydivc Green County April 24 and April 25. In case of bad weather, the make updates will be May I and May 2.

"It's a wonderful sport and it's a great way to get people inter-ested in the sport," added Pohlenz. For any additional information, contact Jim West at Skydi ve Green County at (937) 372-0700.

\ \ v "Cruel wiziz: Intentions

There arc just too many things that can be said about the newest tecn-aimcd film. "Cruel Inten-tions." There's just a slight prob-lem; all of those things are com-pletely terrible.

This film is a real stinker, hon-estly. First lime director Roger Kuinble displays his lack of direc-torial control and lets the film ramble on incessantly for close to two mindless hours.

The film is based off of the 1782 Pierre Lacios novel "Les Liasiunx Dangeren.ses." but in re-ality I don't think anyone involved on the set knew there was an origi-nal source material, they just saw

the tcrrific 1988 film "Dangerous Liaisons," or even I989's "Valmont" one too many times.

SPORTS Women bow out in first round of MCC tournament Raiders jump out early on top-seeded Wisconsin-Green Bay, but can't hold on

By DAVE SEAMAN For The Guardian

It was like a battle o' David and Goliath in the first round of the 1999 MCC Women's Basketball Championship.

TheeighthseededWright Stale Raiders took top seeded Wiscon-sin-Green Bay to the limit on March 4 in Cleveland.

The Phoenix scored the first basket of the game on a Chari Nordgarrd lay-up. but the Rank rs offense exploded with nine straight points to give WSU a9-2 lead early in the first half.

The Raider defense was stellar as they closed down the passing lanes inside and forced UWGB to shoot from outside, where they were 2-11 from outside the 3-point arc.

When the Phoenix shot inside the arc, it was one shot and out as the Raiders grabbed 14 defensive rebounds in the first half.

The Raiders built an 11 point lead on back-to-back 3-pointers by Carrie Bender and Jess Van Der Geest w ith just over 10 minutes in the first half.

Green Bay would cut the lead to 20-16. but WSU would rebound and take a 28-20 lead at the half.

The opening minutes of lh:: sec-ond half would prove to be costly (or the Raiders as the learn picked up six team fouls in the first 5:09 of the half.

Chanda iU Mingsworth would hit a short jumper to open the half and give WSU it's biggest lead of ihe second half, but UWGB would l ight back and tie the game al 10 07

i Nordgarrd free tin

For the next five minutes the teams would trade baskets includ-ing back-to-back threes from Lenora Combs anil Bender which gave the Raiders a 42-38 lead with a few minutes left.

However. Green Bay's Nordgarrd and Stacy Krueger would hi' two jumpers and tie the game at 42 less, than a minute later.

The Raiders lack of bench and the Phoenix tournament experience then hit as UWGB would outscore WSU 22-10 over ihe final seven minutes of the game.

WSU had to play the final min-utes with Van Der Geest, Combs and Reggcn Stewart in serious foul trouble.

Because of this, the Raider of-fense was rushed and the team only hit four field goals in the final five minu.es as the Raiders fell to the Phoenix 63-52.

Combs led the Raiders with 13 points, while Van Der Geest and Hollingsworth added nine apiece.

The Raiders won the rebound-ing wars 32-26. behind 10 from Van Der Geest.

Two Raiders were honored by the Midwestern Collegiate Con-ference as Stewart was named to the AH-MCC Second team and guard Amber Williams was named to ihe All MCC Defensive Team.

WSU ends iheir season at 7-20 and looks forward to the returns of guard Mandy Jclinek and center Kelli Morris in the coming season.

Head Coach Lisa Fitch can also look to have a full bench next sea-son as she has received five letters of intent during the fall signing period.

Two guards and three forwards, including a Pickerington HS prod-uct will join the team in the fall. Guard Chanda Hollingsworth goes for a long 3-pointer.

WSU (shown in earlier action) couldn't handle top-seeded Green Bay in the MCC Tournament.

NCAA men's basketball tourney preview In this section: Sports Shot By DAN STUPP and DAVID BIDDLE

After months of speculation, the NCAA tournament selection committee made its choices on which teams will play where.

Although most decisions could have been predicted, there were several decisions that made experts scratch their heads.

One of these came when the 28-2 College of Charleston Cou-gars were given an eighth seed and a possible date with top-ranked Duke in ihe second round. After

finishing the regular season with a 25-game winning streak, a win over perennial power North Carolina, and a national ranking of 16. in. one expected ihe Cougars to re-ceive lower than a five-seed in the tournament.

Charleston was given such a low seed due to their poor RPI ranking The RPI is a computer poll which is about as valid as the pathcic BCS computer poll which is used in college football.

The RPI should no longer be used as a guide for the selection committee for a number of rea-sons, but here is one glaring ex-

ample. To finish the season. Indi-ana had an RPI of 13. while Ohio Slate's final RPI was 14. Thai would be fine if the Buckeyes didn't have a better overall record, a bct-ler conference record and hadn't beaten the Hoosicrs twice.

Many people were talking at least Sweet Sixteen for Charles-ton, but due to their high RPI they have to beat a tough Tulsa squad to get a shot at the winner of the Duke-Florida A&M game.

Some other interesiing first round matchups include the 12-scedcd Detroit Titans of the Mid-western Collegiate Conference

(Wiighl Slate's conference) against ihe fifth-seeded UCLA Bruins of the Pac-10. With a good half-court offense and a suffocating defense, the Titans are worthy of wearing the glass slipper of Cinderella.

Every year it seems thai one of ihe most popular upsets is a 12-seed over a five seed and this year should be no different. All four of the five seeds in this year's tourna-ment are likely upset victims. The Iowa Hawkeyes. Wisconsin Bad-gers and Charlotte 49ers are the other unlucky five seeds who take

Cheerleaders rack up awards Raiders bring home the hardware from MCC's By D A R L A NIKKIN For The Guardian

The Wright Stale cheerleading squad rcccnily returned from a pro-ductive trip 10 Chicago. The Raid-ers captured first-place as a team in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference's cheer division. "Rowdy Raider" finished first-place in the MCC's mascot compe-tition. I.aura Smith and Mason Boyce look second-place in the partner stunt competition and team-males Hope Heminingcr and Randal I Harper brought home first-place.

Wright Slate will next compete al the National Collegiate Cheerleading Championships which will be held April 1-5 in Daylona Beach.

"We had a good time in Chi-cago. Everything fell into place for

us and wc really clicked as a unit." said team captain Boyce.

Wright Stale's nationally-ranked Emerald Ja/z dance team also went toChicago. but no other dance teams dared to show up. Therefore, the Emerald id/./, treated the crowd 10 Ihcir routine in preparation for na-tionals.

The cheerleaders also took first-place in the MCC cheer division last year in Green Bay.

"I thought we would do well, but we did have a lot oi ;w members competing, so team-cohesiveness was important," said Boyce. "The tripreally brought everyone together and we got the job done."

Members of the 1998-99 cheerleading squad include: Robin Miller, Natalie Niridcr, Hemminger. Amy Beyland, Bethany Wilson. Smith, JoshChadwell. Brel Hart/ell. Byron Stowe, Boyce. Harper. Chris

"Madness" continued on the challenge of winning a first-round game.

Any one of this year's 12 seeds could become ihc Cinderella story of this year's tournament. An-other possible Cinderella is 13 seed Delaware out of the East Regional. The Blue Hens come into the tournament with a record of 25-5 and will play the fourth-seeded Tennessee Volunteers who have struggled through much of the season. Tennessee does have two wins over defending National Champion Kentucky, but Tennessee has had trouble with consistency all season long.

Ohio State welcomes their first tourney birth since 1992. but are not content to just be in the Big Dance. Although the Buck-eyes are playing in the talent-rich South Region. OSU has a good shot at a Final Four appearance. They must contend with the likes

'ol top-smled Auburn. second-

Hie Buckeyes ..re led by co-Big Ten Player-ol-the-Year Scoonie Penn and by sophomore sensation Mike Redd. Pcnn av-erages 17 ppg and 4.5 apg. while Redd leads the team with a 19.5 scoring average.

There are many possible late-round match-ups that arc sure to intrigue the college hoops junk-ies. For starters, third-seeded Kentucky versus sixth-seeded Kansas in the Midwest If I'K can get b> the second-round a possible re-match of la-.i year's championship game wi'h Utah awaits them.

Starling on Thursday, some of the questions will be ...iswered. Can Miami (OH) handle the si/e of Washington? Can Ohm Stale make it past first round opponent and Cinderella candidate Murray-State? And most importantly, can anyone slop Duke .'
