the latest students have heard
about this year’s commencement
ceremonies.
A scheduled Friday, March 1
adm inistrative meeting led by
University President Constantine
Papadakis may finalize the cere­
m ony schedule, with possible
changes from the first co m ­
mencement proposal released on
Nov. 16,1995.
But with graduation just over
100 days away, Drexel’s plans for
June still lag behind those of
other area schools who wind up
in May.
The last official graduation
discussions between student rep­
resentatives and administrators
took place in November, on the
Commencement Concept Team
chaired by Jobiin.
After three months without
new information, once vocal stu­
dent disapproval has diminished.
A pproxim ately 100 students
attended the Dec. 5 senior class
meeting about commencement.
Less than ten showed up at the

Students were upset by the
Nov. 16 proposal, which calls for

Of the four vice provosts who
lost their positions, Eli Fromm,
cu rren tly vice provost for
research and graduate studies,
already has a position under the
new scheme as vice provost for
educational development. “This
move was something 1 inherit­

If they choose to do so, the
other three vice provosts, Gail
Dinter-Gottlieb, Amelia Maurizio and Ewaugh Finney Fields,

The ongoing Philadelphia
Flower Show at the Convention
C en ter has a touch of Drexel
University.
The school doesn’t send any
flowers; it provides a computer
booth to show attendees how to
use the World Wide Web on the
Internet to search for horticul­
tural information.
E ntitled “G ardening and
Cyberspace,” the Drexel exhibit
centers around a six-by-five feet
rear p ro jec tio n screen, three
computers and a color printer.
The booth is decorated with the
many poster-sized photographs
of the campus.
The concept of this project
was developed by Dr. Bill Rosen­
berg, d ire c to r o f the survey
research center and member of
the history and politics depart­
ment.
He has been doing survey
research for the Philadelphia
Horticultural Society. This pro­
ject is co n sisten t with the
approach he uses when teaching
research m ethods at Drexel.
R osenberg received support
from the Offices of Computing
Services and Enrollment Man­
agement. Rosenberg serves as
advisor of the exhibit.
According to Dr. Rosenberg,
people can approach the booth
with virtually any question about
gardening and horticulture and
within minutes receive an answer
via the Internet. “The exhibit is
designed to show that Drexel is a
leader in tech n o lo g y ,” said
Rosenberg.
According to Mark Wiley ’95,
one of the exhibit workers, “peo­
ple seem very impressed with
exhibit.”

Provost shake-up eliminates tiiree
Four vice provost positions were eliminated.
One associate continues on, while the other
three can apply for new positions.

ED-OP EDrrOR
With all the changes going on
in upper administration recently,
it’s no surprise that new faces are
ap p earin g all over cam pus.
However, none of the changes
have been as sudden as the latest
restructuring of the Provost’s
office.
On W ednesday, Feb. 28
incom ing U niversity Provost
Richard Astro informed his staff
that each of the four existing vice
provost positions would be elim­
inated. Three new positions will
be created to replace them. In
addition, three new positions will
be created, bringing the total
number of vice provosts to sbc.
The four positions which were
elim in ated are associate vice
p ro v o st for u n d erg rad u a te
affairs, vice provost for outreach
and access, vice p rovost for
research and graduate studies
and assistant vice president for
academic administration.
The three replacement posi­
tions are associate provost for
undergraduate
studies, associ­
ate provost for
personnel and
administrative
liaison, and
vice provost
for educational
development.
These three
Astro
positions will
be filled by internal personnel.
“ I know it looks like ... a
W ednesday afternoon m as­
sacre,” said Astro. “This wasn’t a
decision based on performance,
because I don’t know these peo­
ple,” said Astro. “When I was at
Central Florida. I didn’t do this
and it was a lot harder when I
wanted to make changes [later].”

an advantage, since they’ve been
doing this work for a while,” said
Astro.
“Central to any management
in any company is the idea that
... what’s best for the organiza­
tion is not necessarily best for the
individuals,” said Astro. “It was
very clear to me from my first full
interview that there’s been an
absence o f leadership in the
p ro v o s t’s office, since there
h a s n ’t been a p ro v o st for so
long,” he added.
Two of the four posts elimi­
nated are currently part-tim e
positions. Astro noted that he
felt a “conflict of interest” devel­
oped in those positions. “I need
people who are 100 percent com­
mitted to this office,” said Astro.
One source within the admin­
istration felt that the overhaul in
the provost’s office was also a
g en d er issue, with all th ree
w om en vice p ro v o sts being
removed. Senior Advisor to the
President for Affirmative Action
Pat Miller indicated that if that
were the case, she would “like to
look into it further.”
Astro doesn’t officially take
over the duties of provost until
April 1. The three positions being
eliminated will be removed by
June 30. The three replacement
positions will be phased in before
that date. The future addition of
other vice provosts will follow.
“We have a net gain of three
administrators,” said Astro, “The
last thing 1 want to do is spend
more money, but there’s a point
where you get too thin.”
The Frovost office is responsi­
ble for the academic and research
issues facing the University. It acts
as a liaison between the adminis­
tration and the faculty. It also
handles students’ academic needs.
The provost position has been
vacant since Dennis “ D enny”
Brown left the provost position
on July 1, 1995, for the presiden­
cy at Clarkson University.

NEW YORK — Book the next
flight to Paris, dahling, and alert
all the fashionable boutiques.
And leave that cash — so messy
— at home. A leading credit card
issuer is now ad v e rtisin g a
$100,000 limit.
Living it up has becom e so
much more convenient now that
MBNA Am erica Bank of W il­
mington, Del., has extended its
cred it lim it to $100,000 on
MasterCards and Visas.
But the “Platinum Plus” plas­
tic isn’t for everybody — only
those who m eet the strictest
income and credit qualifications
need apply. That includes being
able to m ake m in im u m p ay ­
m ents on a $100,000 balance:
about $2,000 a month.
But card-holders might want
to pay a bit more than that. At an
interest rate of 16 percent, just
paying the minimum would take
a person 43 years to pay off the
$100,000 balance. The interest
would drive th eir total bill to
more than $1.03 million.
“This card is designed to be
different,” said MBNA spokes­
man Peter Osborne.
While MBNA and some other
banks have offered six-figure
limits to elite customers before,
this is the first time such a deal is
being promoted, industry ana­
lysts said. Credit limits on most
gold cards usually range from
$5,000 to $25,000.
American Express has p r i ^
moted an elite p latin u m card
program for about 10 years. Less
than 1 percent of its 36 million
cardh o ld ers ca rry th at card,
which has no credit lim it but
requires a $300 annual fee.
Some financial advisers
expressed concern about such
sky-high temptation.

WASHINGTON — Research­
ers have discovered how a strain
of the AIDS virus penetrates a
woman’s cervix, possibly helping
explain why the disease spread
faster in certain women abroad
than it has yet here.
The discovery, published
Friday in the journal Science,
doesn’t mean U.S. women have
any less to fear from HIV,
emphasized Dr. Anthony Fauci
o f the N ational In stitu tes of
H ealth. G overnm ent figures
show HIV infection already is
growing fastest among women.
The study helps researchers
understand yet another mecha­
nism the fatal virus uses to get
inside the body, Fauci said.
There are different subtypes of
HIV. One version, H IV -le, is
most common in parts of Asia
and Africa, where 90 percent of
HIV cases are attributed to het­
erosexual co n tact, H arvard
U n iv ersity ’s Dr. Max Essex
reported.
H ere, HIV first spread
through homosexual contact and
d ru g use, and heterosexually
transmitted cases now account
for some 10 percent of infec­
tions, he said. The most common
U.S. subtype is HIV-lb.
HIV typically p en etrates
blood immune cells, but Essex
decided to see if the two subtypes
equally p en etrate different
im m une cells, know n as
Langerhans’ cells, that line the
vagina.
The HlV-le, from heterosex­
ual patients in Thailand, grew
much faster and to much higher
levels in Langerhans’ cells than
the U.S. strain did, he found.
HIV-le has been detected in
only a few Americans, but Essex
said if it spreads here, heterosex­
ual wom en m ight be at even
greater risk.
Commencement ceremony still uncertain

undergraduates would be recog­

A large University ceremony
w ould be held on Sunday in
which graduate students would
be individually recognized, mas­

take place, and Ph.D. students
would be hooded.
Undergraduate degree recipi­
ents would be invited to the
Sunday ceremony.
Both the a d m in is tra tio n ’s

“are incredibly disappointing,”
said
G rad u ate
Student
A ssociation P resid en t Rita
LaRue. “I’m more disappointed
th at the ad m in istra tio n isn ’t
reaching out to us, and they said
they would.”
Polls conducted by campus
student governments suggested
at least 85 percent of students
wanted commencement on one
day and, if possible, in one place.
Consideration of the Center
S tu d en ts involved in early
protests against the proposal said
Drexel’s decades-old tradition of
h olding com m encem ent on a
June Sunday at the Philadelphia
Civic Center’s Convention Hall
was a viable o p tio n th at was
never considered.
The sale o f the Civic Center
com plex to the U niversity of
Pennsylvania never happened, so
events including numerous bas­
ketball games and three colleges’
g ra d u atio n cerem onies were
b ooked
there.
In
early
December, senior Tina Bradley
found that Drexel’s graduation
was a tentative event on the Civic
Center’s calendar.
Students heavily involved with
co m m en cem en t negotiations
have tried to get together with
administrators to further evalu­
ate the site, but to no avail.
“Joblin doesn’t know what’s
going on,” Senior Class President
M uony lem said. “ Papadakis
wants separate ceremonies in the
gym. ... [Vice President for
S tudent and A dm inistrative
Services Tony] Caneris said there
would be an official meeting. It
was never set up.”
lem and LaRue proposed vis­
iting the Convention Hall site at
the end of fall term. According to
them . P resident Papadakis
arranged for a winter-break visit
on such short notice that neither
could attend.
Instead, Papadakis brought

for Institutional Advancement
Joe Lopez to Convention Hall. In
December, the USGA Legislative
Assembly voted to recommend
to Martorano not to make deci­
sions on commencement with­
out their consultation.
“The lavatories literally made
me gag,” said Public Relations
Director Phil Terranova. “The
City [of Philadelphia] runs it
now. They could close it at any
time. ... That’s a risk the other
schools want to take.”
Both Temple and La Salle plan
to hold com m encem ent cere­
monies at the Civic Center in the
spring.
“Papadakis doesn’t want the
Civic Center at all,” said lem.
One day at a time
M atching an all-in-one site
like the Civic Center for student
im portance was the desire to
have all commencement events
on one day.
Students decried the sugges­
tion of a two-day event as incon­
venient for students and their
families.
The five major universities in
the Philadelphia area — La Salle,
Temple, Villanova, St. Joseph’s,
and the University of Pennsyl­
vania — all schedule single, large
cerem onies d u rin g which
degrees are conferred to students
en masse, and keynote speeches
are made by students, adminis­
trators, and special guests.
These are followed by small
ceremonies for the schools’ indi­
vidual colleges, held at tradition­
al sites on campus or elsewhere
in Philadelphia. Students then
receive their diplomas, often in
exchange for their graduation
caps and gowns.
According to lem, the report­
ed changes to D rexel’s co m ­
m encem ent proposal would
make it difficult to determ ine
when and where students can
receive their diplomas.

Lawyer accuses cops o f th e ft Local
family
during duPont stan d off
loses all
to fire
Maria Panaritis
ASSOCIATED PRESS
John E. du F o n t’s personal
lawyer is accusing su b u rb an
police officers of looting the mil­
lionaire murder suspect’s athletic
facility during a January standoff
at his estate.
Taras Wochok said Thursday
that police from Newtown
T ow nship and n eighboring
Delaware County communities
broke into a locked closet and
took thousands of dollars in new
gym clothing and equipment.
In a Feb. 20 letter sent to
township Police Chief Michael
Mallon, Wochok complained of
“wholesale looting and souvenirgathering on the part of the vari­
ous (police) departments.”
Newtown Township Solicitor
Bruce Irvine sent Wochok a let­
ter Thursday saying the matter
was being investigated. Irvine
explained that drenched SWAT
team members had been ordered
to put on the sweatsuits to keep
dry from heavy rainstorms dur­
ing the two-day standoff. He said
the clothes had been collected
and would be returned.
“I am unaware of any whole­
sale looting or souvenir gather­
ing by anyone,” Irvine’s letter
said: “The clothes worn by the
Newtown Township Police were
returned, washed and cleaned, to
the Police Department.”
He said other police depart­
ments involved in the standoff
also returned the clothes to the
Newtown department.
The athletic facility was used
as tactical headquarters for nego­
tiato rs with du Pont after
Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz
was shot and killed at his home
on the du Pont estate on Jan. 26.
Du Pont, 57, an heir to the
chemical company fortune, has
been ordered held for trial and is
in the Delaware County Prison.
Police have offered no motive in
the slaying o f Schultz, 36, an
Olympic gold medalist who lived
on the estate with his wife and
two young children.
Wochok questioned whether
police even had the right to use
the Foxcatcher athletic facility
during the standoff.
He added th at some o f the
damaged and missing items did
not appear to have any practical
use for the police, including 23
Foxcatcher equipment bags.
Missing were “92 sweatshirts,
two p airs o f c h ild re n ’s sized
sneakers, T-shirts, equipm ent
bags,” said Wochok.
Also, an undetermined num ­
ber of long-distance calls were
placed to other states, doors were
b ro k en , w restling m ats were
filthy and a water bed had been
slashed, Wochok said.
The missing items and dam ­
age was discovered one day after
du Pont was captured outside his
mansion, Wochok said.
Mallon did not return a tele­
p ho n e call to The Associated
Press on Thursday.
Irvine said he had no knowl­
edge ab o u t items taken o th er
th an the clothes th at were
returned.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Mary
Marks didn’t think life could get
any worse.
In November, her father and
h er ex -h u sb an d died weeks
apart, and her mother underwent
o p e n -h e a rt surgery after her
fourth heart attack.
On Tuesday, the Allentown
woman and her six children lost
just about everything they owned
in a fire th at d ertro y ed th eir
home.*
The fire started in a secondfloor bedroom shortly after noon
when a three-foot-high pile of
clothing and toys on tOp of a
baseboard heating duct ignited,
fire officials said.
No one was injured.
Afterwards, the family learned
they had no insurance on the
house.
The loss came at a time when
Marks, 39, was trying to turn her
life aro u n d by going back to
school to get her high school
equivalency diploma.
In December, she and her six
children, ages four to 21, moved
in with h er m o th er, D oris
Marucci, who owned the home.
Marks* eldest son, Paul, cared
for Marucci, who is in a wheel­
chair. Another son, Christopher,
19, worked to help pay bills. The
four youngest children are still in
school.
“We don’t get welfare or food
stamps; we m ^ e it on our own,”
Marks said Wednesday.
Just when it seemed her family
vO^s on the right track, she said,
the fire devastated them.
" I t’s ju st h ard , you know,
because we were trying to get
everything together and this had
to h a p p e n ,” she said. “If it
w e ren ’t for , bad luck, we
wouldn’t have any luck at all.”
Marks said when she and her
m other called their insurance
company on Tuesday, they were
told th at M arucci’s h u sb an d ,
Michael, canceled the homeown­
er’s policy before his death from
a stomach infection at 81.
Neither Marks nor her mother
knew he had done this, she said.
Marks’ ex-husband, Paul, 42,
the father o f three of her chil­
dren, died of cancer around the
same time her own father passed
away.
The Red Cross paid for the
family to stay at the Econo Lodge
in Bethlehem for two nights and
gave them vouchers for food and
clothing.
Marks said she d id n ’t know
where they would go Thursday
night. She is hoping to get help to
repair the house so the family
can stay together.
She said she contacted several
agencies Wednesday for help.
Family members returned to
the charred house Wednesday to
see if they could salvage any­
thing, finding some fu rn itu re
and other items.
Going th ro u g h the hom e
helped Marks to focus on what’s
important.
"W e’re all alive,” she said.
“That’s what counts.”

Carolina’s prim ary — a m ustwin event in Dole’s com eback
strategy and the scene-setter for
voting in nine states on Tuesday.
There was no doubt that the
candidates recognized the stakes,
often interrupting to rebut rivals.
Nor was there any doubt that the
cam paign had sh ifted to the
solidly conservative South.

Polls show Buchanan running
a solid second in South Carolina,
with Forbes and Alexander bat­
tling for third. Even third could
prove lethal to Alexander’s strug­
gling candidacy, and his urgent
to ne m ade clear he knew the
likely price of placing fourth.
“He talks like a conservative
and acts like a liberal,” Forbes
said of Alexander. As they glared
and pointed fingers, Forbes sug­
gested Alexander participateid in
several sweetheart investm ent
deals while governor.
“You should be ashamed of
yourself,” Alexander sdd, taking
Forbes to task for spending mil­
lio n s “sm earin g Bob Dole,
smearing me.”
More often than not, however,
Forbes and Alexander were partners against Dole. Aiid they
received eager assistance from
B uchanan, w ho was only an
occasional target this time after
coming under consistent attack
at a forum last week in Arizona.
The debate was only the first

debate, said he w ould stage a

After weeks o f complaining
about negative ads, Alexander
used the debate to defend his
decision to run a spot attacking
Dole for supporting $320 billion
in tax increases.
“The ad is misleading^” said a
smiling ForJ)ies — suggesting the
number was closer to $1 trillion.
“1 voted against tax increases
60 times,” Dole said. “I want tax
cuts for families with children.”
Dole said he mostly voted to
close loopholes. Forbes disputed
that, saying one Dole vote raised
Social Security taxes. “Some
loophole closer,” Forbes said.
“D on’t malign my integrity
here,” Dole snapped back.
A bortion came up twice —
once when the candidates were
asked if they would promise not
to pick a running mate who sup­
ported abortion rights.
Buchanan proudly made the
prom ise; A lexander did not.
Forbes said he would pick some­
one who, like him, wanted abor­
tions to disappear. But Forbes
himself does not favor immedi­
ately trying to outlaw abortions.
Dole said he had a consistent
anti^abortion record and would
pick a conservative but did not
give a yes or no suiswer.
The issue came up again ^ e n

said he did not. “I believe your

bragging that he had watched a

Pregnant teen shot on school bus
Connie Farrow
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A teen -ag er
waiting at a school bus stop with
a pistol began firing after the bus
doors swung open Thursday,
killing a pregnant 15-year-old
and wounding the driver before
running away. The baby was in
critical condition.
D ozens o f police officers
searched the city’s north side for
the gunman, who was believed to
be 16 to 18. Police were unsure of
a motive.
Police were also un certain
whether Kyunia Taylor, who was
sitting in the first seat inside the
door on her way to school, had
been targeted or was shot at ran­
dom.
The sh o o tin g took place
shortly before 7:00 a.m. when the
small bus carrying the driver and
three students pulled up to its
regular stop. W hen the d o o r
opened, the gunman asked if the
bus was going to Beaumont High
School. The driver said yes.
“He shot the bus driver and
then began firing at the b u s,”
police spokesman Tom Geiser
said. "We don’t believe he actu­
ally ever got on the bus.”
The 60-year-old bus driver,
Richard Lanemann, was in seri­
ous condition with three gunshot
wounds.
Two bullets struck Taylor, a
ninth-grader, in the chest. She
was dead on arrival at the hospi­
tal.
Doctors delivered her baby by
Caesarean section. The threepound girl appeared to be one to
three months premature.
“The fact that the mom had
been dead for a period of time
meant that although the baby’s
h eart m ay have co n tin u ed to
beat, there was no oxygen going
to the baby or to the b ab y ’s
b ra in ,” said Dr. T im othy
Buchanan, who delivered the
baby. “The baby’s outcome is in
doubt.”
At the school, halls were most­
ly vacant Thursday morning. A
crying girl was escorted to an
office by two adults. Security was
already tight — all students must
pass through a metal detector
each day — but it appeared that
m ovem ent was also being
restricted.

LONDON — The fate of U.S.
swimmer Jessica Foschi now is in
the hands of the sp o rt’s world
governing body.
The international federation
FINA said Thursday it has asked
U.S. Swimming for the d o c u ­
ments relatfed to the 15-year-old
freestyler’s disputed doping case.
FINA will review the U.S.
decision to reinstate Foschi and
consider w hether to im pose a
tw o-year su sp en sio n on the
O lym pic hopeful, who tested
positive for steroids last year.
U.S. Sw im m ing’s b o a rd of
d irectors voted last Friday to
rescind its tw o-year ban on
Foschi and put her on two years’
probation instead.
“We don’t have that kind of
sanction in o u r ru le s ,” FINA
h o n o ra ry secretary G u n n a r
Werner said by telephone from
Sweden.
FINA’s rules call for a mini­
mum two-year suspension for
swimmers who test positive for
performance-enhancing steroids.
“Our rules say there is a possi­
bility for FINA to review all cases
and adapt them to o u r rules,”
W erner said. “Sometim es, we
will step in and change a decision
by a federation if 'ley have not
applied our rules correctly. We
have done that before and the
Americans are aware of that.”
W erner said he expected to
receive the documents soon and
would review them with other
m em bers o f FINA’s executive
committee. A decision could be
reached at meetings in Lausanne,
Switzerland, next week.
If FINA decides to intervene,
procedures call for an internal
federation hearing with the ath­
lete or her representatives. The
athlete has a right of appeal, and
when all appeals are exhausted,
the case could go to the Court of
A rb itra tio n for S p o rt in
Lausanne.
FINA’s decision w on’t keep
Foschi from competing at home,
however.
“U.S. Swimming has told us
through its executive director
and legal counsel in no uncertain
term s th at regardless o f any
actions taken by FINA th at
Jessica will be allowed to com ­
pete in the U.S. Olympic Trials
next w eek,” the sw im m er’s
father. Bob Foschi, said.
Foschi is considered fourth in
the co u n try in the 800-m eter
freestyle event. Two top finalists
in te Ohlympic trials are chosen
to compete in Atlanta in July.
Foschi tested positive for the
steroid Mesterolone at the U.S.
nationals in Pasadena, Calif., last
August. She denied knowingly
ingesting the banned substance.
U.S. Swimming officials ini­
tially put her on probation, but
earlier this month the board of
directors voted to impose a sus­
pension in line with FINA rules.
Ten days later, the b o ard
replaced the ban with probation.
BANGKOK, T hailand —
Marco Polo had a great idea back
in the 13th century: How about
o p en in g up trad e w ith Asia?
There’s probably a lot of money
to be made out there.
As leaders of the 15 European
Union countries open a summit
with their counterparts from 10
East Asian nations, some feel
European thinking hasn’t pro­
gressed much in the 700 years
since the adventurous Venetian
loaded his camels and headed
east.
Trade is boom ing: In 1994,
Asia displaced the United States
as Europe’s largest trading part­
ner, reaching $312.5 billion. But
there is still little investm ent
there.
Though Asia accounts for 23
percent of European trade, it gets
less than 1 percent of Europe’s
direct foreign investment.
M any Asian leaders th in k
Europe is too preoccupied with
its own development to invest in
Asia.
That may be why it was the
Asians who took the initiative to
call the two-day Bangkok sum­
mit, which starts Friday.
Mary Seet-Cheng, Singapore’s
am bassad o r to the EU, says
Europe has become marginalized
in Asia, and “unless Europe steps
up investments, it will be even
more marginalized.”
The fact that the summit has
no fixed agenda has led to fears
th at it could be just an o th er
international gabfest in the sun
that will end after half a dozen
good meals with little more than
a few pages of incomprehensible
paper and much pressing of the
flesh.
“We are not setting up perfor­
mance criteria,” Sir Leon Brittan,
the EU’s trade commissioner,
said in an interview. “We’ve got
to see what happens. What we
are doing is launching a prece­
dent.”
Horst-Gunter Krenzler, direc­
to r-general o f the EU’s trade
directorate, pointed out that Asia
accounts for half of the world’s
econom ic grow th.H e said a
Europe-Asia link was needed to
“com plem ent” the connection
that the United States and Asia
have in the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation organi­
zation.
“For each Asian student edu­
cated in Europe, four are educat­
ed in the U nited S tates,”
Krenzler said.
Meetings of world leaders can
be interesting, but some business
leaders don’t think the politics of
the summit will be all that signifi­
cant in the long run.
“The political operations are
very important to set a frame­
work,” said Erik Dejonghe, vice
president o f Barco, a Belgian
maker of video screens and pro­
jection systems. “But I think it’s
Barco’s responsibility in the first
place to establish our presence
there.”
Barco, which did 18 percent of
its buying and selling in Asia in
1994, says Europeans have to
think in different terms to sell in
Asia.
“We were used to doing busi­
ness the European way, now we
approach it more and more in an
Asian way,” Dejonghe said.
He said the company is trying
hard to hire more Asians as man­
agers and marketing executives.
They will be more attuned to the
ways that Asians approach busi­
ness, he said.
All the summit participants
are nervous about the topic of
human rights, which the Asians
say is subjectively viewed by the
visiting Westerners.
“ E urope looks at hum an
rights from a very European
s ta n d p o in t,” said Ms. SeetCheng, the Singapore am bas­
sador. “Europe itself has cultural
differences.”
The Asians don’t want to talk
about such uncomfortable sub­
jects as Indonesia’s annexation
of East Timor or suppression of
dissent in China. Nor are they in
a mood to chat about child or
prison labor.
The Europeans don’t want to
ruin a perfectly good trade meet­
ing with too much talk of morali­
ty*
Brittan, the EU trade chief,
says the Europeans will not be
provocative and have no plans to
use hum an rights as a protec­
tionist tool. He says there is a dif­
ference between human rights
and social standards — which
activists often raise as rights
issues.

Letters to the Editor
Band defends its
pep
Entertainment Editor
Deafened by silence
The commencement dilemma is fairly simple. Students
want one big ceremony and do not want to graduate in the
gym. The administration, however, plans to hold several
small ceremonies in the gym.
Students see the Civic Center — where commencement
has been held since 1988 — as a viable site. Administrators
claim the Civic Center is undesirable, frequently citing
dirty restrooms as a reason.
There isn’t much room for compromise. Either it’s in the
gym or it isn’t. Either it’s one large ceremony or it isn’t.
With so much at stake, we’d expect the debate to rage loud­
ly. Instead, we’re deafened by silence.
Seniors voiced their opposition to the plan when it was
released in December, but are sBsnsmgly waiting for the
administration to make the next move. They shouldn’t
hold their breath.
Instead of waiting silendy, students opposed to the plans
for separate ceremonies in the gym should get o ff their
keisters and organize. Don’t let President Papadakis or his
assistant for special projects Art Joblin tell us they’re
“working on it.” Demand clear-cut specifics.
It shouldn’t fall on students’ shoulders to assume respon­
sibility for the ceremony, but there’s no use counting on the
weasels in the adm inistration to stand up and take the
heat.
Ideally, the adm inistration would have already made
clear its plans. It’s bad enough that the current plans are
contrary to students desires, but the situation is exacerbat­
ed by the administration’s silence on the issue. As soon as
they realized students were opposed to their plans, they
simply stopped talking about them.
That’s gutless. If President Papadakis sees no viable alter­
natives to the current plans, he should isay so in an open
forum and defend his administration’s decisions. Students
deserve to hear answers to their questions. Can’t restrooms
be cleaned? If the Civic Center isn’t good enough for us,
why is it good enough for Temple and St. Joe’s?
Don’t count on Papadakis to hold such a forum. If you
care, get organized and get loud. Demand answers.

Editor:
I ’m w ritin g in response to
Nick DiFranco’s column in the
Feb. 23 issue of The Triangle
about the pep band. I wish every­
body at Drexel wanted a great
pep b an d as m uch as Mr.
DiFranco. If that were the case,
then perhaps we would have a
budget so that the band members
would all have new high quality
instruments. Our musical selec­
tions would also increase, we
would be able to buy songs like
“Sportscenter” or Peter Gunn.
As Nick so astutely pointed out,
a lot of our selections are older
versions of songs that are not the
most exciting versions available,
but, p u ttin g this in technical
term s, we have no m oney to
upgrade.
Instead o f writing columns
complaining about the Drexel
pep band, why doesn’t DiFranco
help us to secure a budget for
next year? Right now, the band
members, a group of non-music
majors, and the band director are
at every hom e game playing
because we love m usic and
Drexel basketball. Tell the
administration that you would
like to h ea r m ore of the pep
band. Get all your friends to do
the same. And maybe even come
cheer for us at the games, there
are always a few seats available.
The PEAC would be an awful
quiet place without us there.

Editor:
I am writing in response to the
column by Nick DiFranco in the
Feb. 23 issue o f The Triangle
concerning the pep band’s lack
of pep. I am a senior and a five
year m em ber o f the pep band
and find it hard to believe that
such a column was written about
an organization which does its
best with what is has to work
with.
For those who do not know,
the only funding that the pep
band gets comes from alumni
and a handful of wonderful peo­
ple who appreciate us at the
games and have offered to help
us out. Believe me, the money
doesn’t just roll in. We don’t get
paid to play at the basketball
games like o th er schools. We
don’t get paid to play at pep ral­
lies like other schools. We don’t
get paid for anything.
So what does the band need
money for? Well, Mr. DiFranco,
even th a t lame version of
“Shout” (which I think is a pretty
damned good arrangement for a
pep band) had to be paid for.
Sure, I’ll admit that we do have
some songs in our folders which
definitely shouldn’t be there, but
w e’re w orking on im p ro v in g
them. This year we’ve added sev­
eral very good selections.
It was only about two weeks
ago the pep band became part of
the Athletic Department. They
were nice enough to purchase
new sh irts for us. They have
logos on them and everything.
Other than knowing that we’re
no lo n g er allowed to yell
“Sucks!” as they announce the
opposing team, I haven’t heard
any of the specifics about what it
means to be a part of the Athletic
Departm ent yet, but hopefully
we’ll get some funding for some
new music and maybe an instru­
ment or two for next year.
So, you wonder why we don’t
sound as good as other schools
like Temple, Penn or Delaware?
I t’s n o t only because th e y ’re
funded and we’re not. It’s also
because their bands are full of
music majors. We don’t have a
single music major in our band.
We’re a handful of students rep­
resenting a mixture of most of
the colleges here at Drexel who
enjoy playing music. We d o n ’t
do it for a living, nor do we want
to. Perhaps we find it an enjoy­

studies. W hatever the case, I
think we sound great for who we
are and the time we put into it.
I d o n ’t see how D iFranco
thinks his colum n could have
helped us. Telling the pep band
that we’ve got no pep and our
music isn’t any good definitely
isn’t going to make us any peppi­
er or improve our selections. If
he really wants to help, he should
talk to our director, Mr. Richard
Miller, about what we need.

For the 20 years that I have
been alive, 1 have spent over 60
percent of them being a band
member. Over the years I have
becom e accustom ed to being
called “ban d geek,” “ n e r d ,”
“b an d fish ,” and ju st plain
“dork.” I never took any of this
ridicule personally, until Friday,
February 23, when I read Nick
D iFranco’s colum n about the
pep band. To me, this was equiv­
alent to a slap in the face.
I share Mr. DiFranco’s love
for basketball, which is why I
sacrifice so much of my free time
to be a band member. I d o n ’t
mind all the hard work and dedi­
cation it takes, because I enjoy
showing support for my school.
I also share your dismay at the
crowd for not showing as much
su p p o rt as they should at the
Drexel m en’s basketball games.
But D iF ranco was w rong in
blaming the band for failing to
rouse the crowd’s spirit.
Our director, Mr. Miller, is a
retired band instructor who tries
to select music that will appeal to
m any people in the audience.
While he is aware that he can’t
please everyone, he does the best
he can.
At first D iFranco’s colum n
made me very upset, but after
hearing so many com plim ents
this past weekend ab o u t how
great our sound is and how won­
derful it is that we show so much
support for a phenomenal bas­
ketball team, I feel even more
proud to be in pep band.
I am sure if DiFranco is such a
die-hard fan he will travel wher­
ever the basketball team ends up.
I look forw ard to hearing his
req u ests and so lu tio n s now,
instead of all his complaints.

Editor:
I am writing in response to a
column by Nick DiFranco, “Pep
band tries, b ut fails to pep up
crowd,” which appeared in the
Feb. 23 issue of The Triangle. In
th e colu m n , Mr. D iFranco
expresses a strong an im osity
toward the pep band because of
th e ir in ab ility to “pep u p .”
Everyone has a right to personal
opinion, but most people only
freely express it after they have
bothered to collect the facts.
A successful pep b and
requires a few things: a director,
musicians, time, and money. The
director and musicians we have,
the extra tim e and m oney we
d o n ’t. In o rd e r to play the
“ Sportscenter” theme and the
“Peter Gunn Theme,” we need
th e m usic. Mr. M iller, has
brought the pep band a long way
from where it was just a few years
ago.
Actually, the fans at the bas­
ketball game are the core of the
lack of school spirit problem, not
the band. The PEAC should be
filled every game, b ut it isn’t.
W here are all these supportive
fans? The pep band cannot make
the crowd. The crowd makes the
crowd. The pep band can only
give a shove.

When I spoke at Convocation

some frustrations, which came to
a head with yet another “small
change” last week at the Board of
Trustees meeting. I would now
like to share my perspective with
the Drexel community,
Dr. Papadakis met with me
within the first three weeks of his
s ta rt date at Drexel. I was
impressed and optimistic. Shortly
thereafter the President’s office
set up a m eeting at which Dr.
P apadakis, myself, the USGA
p re sid e n t and the Evening
College Council president would
have a “ P resid en t’s H o u r” to
convene m onthly, to discuss
issues of importance to the stu­
dents. I was very enthusiastic
about this idea. Two days before
the date, however, the President’s
office canceled my attendance at
that meeting, assuring me that a
new forum would be developed
as this meeting was to enable Dr.
Papadakis to get to know his
counterpart, the USGA p resi­
dent.
No new forum has ever been
established.
Last fall, I, along with under­
graduate and evening student
representatives, were invited to

on
the
“C om m encem ent

Team.” At the first meeting we
voiced the desires of our co n ­
stituents, as is our duty, to have a
traditional Drexel com m ence­
ment. We understood the prob­
lem of finding a new location and
set to work, along with the rest of
the com m ittee, to research
options.
At the second meeting much
discussion was devoted to clear­
ing stud en ts in tim e to have
diplom as at the cerem ony.
Finally, the student representa­
tives voiced concerns over the
fact th at the form at of co m ­
m encem ent was not being
addressed. This was noted and
the meeting adjourned.
Shortly thereafter, the team’s
chairperson sent a memo to the
committee outlining a format of

Many students were upset and
requested that their representa­
tives take action. We did that.
In the end, hov/ever, attempt­
ing to move the student body to
take actio n was a difficult
endeavor. But there are students
who do care and frequently con­
tact me to ask the latest news
reg ard in g co m m en cem en t. I
have no official w ord to tell
them.
C ouldn’t the adm inistration
have taken 20 minutes to meet
with the student leaders to give
us a definitive answer to take
back to our constituents?
Why must I have to constantly
repeat, “I don’t know, there has
been no word from our adminis­
tration.” Why does the represen­
tative from Josten’s know that
commencement will be held as
d ictated in that m em o, and I
have to say, “I don’t know”?
I disagree w ith Steve
M arta ran o th at the m em o
regarding the altered format by
which student representatives
address the Board of Trustees is a
“case where the wrong people
got ahold of the memo and went
overboard.” I com m end these
students for taking action.
In The Triangle’s February 23,
1996 editorial it is stated that
“students were never allowed to
just stand up and issue a fiveminute tirade.” O f course not.
Drexel students are intelligent
enough to know that that would
be extremely ineffective in pre­
senting issues to the Board.
T hat “stu d en t gov ern m en t
m em bers w ould give th eir
reports and the Trustees would
be very passive in their response”
is untrue. For instance, one past
USGA president, after having no
luck with the security d ep a rt­
ment, presented to the Board the
problem of non-Drexel students
using the residential basketball
courts and the situation was cor­
rected in a matter of days.
Further, the brief p re se n ta -'
tions by students to A e Board
(just four times a year) are an
im p o rta n t sym bol o f the
Trustees being in direct contact
with their constituents — to give
them a brief opportunity to put
faces on the the student bodies.
I do not expect in any way that
every request presented by the
students to the administration l>e
granted.
The administration has a logi­
cal and informed perspective on
a situation that the students are
simply not aware of.
W hat I do expect is that the
students will be involved in the
process o f m aking decisions
which are o f particular im por­
tance to us, to be a part of the
community.

M i c h a e l K e lla n O n th e J o b
Budding columnist introduces himself
I thought it would be hard,
but not this hard. Jeez! It’s like
being back in school again.
I’ve composed scores of let­
ters, memos, and speeches. I’ve
prepared enough reports to fill a
not-so-small file cabinet by my
office desk. Some even m ake
sense. But I’ve never written a
newspaper column for an audi­
ence of hundreds of people — at
my old school — years after
graduation.
W e’re talk in g a b o u t som e
serious p erfo rm an c e anxiety
here.
It’s scary stuff — entertaining
and informing an audience using
the written word alone. But the
scary stu ff is what m akes life
truly exciting. You accept the
risk, try something new, and take
your lumps. If you like what you
do — and do a good job —
sometimes they even let you you
stick around.
So here I am, doing my best
imitation of the Inquirer’s Clark
DeLeon. M ake th at C lark
DeLeon with an eng in eerin g
degree, and a serious case of
writers block. And who am I, you
ask?
My name is Michael Kellar. I
graduated from Drexel with a
BSME, way back in the year in
1983 BM (The “BM” stands for
“Before M acintosh”). For the
past 13 years. I’ve worked as a
m echanical en g in eer in and
around Philadelphia.
In fact, I have an engineering
job right now, at least for the
tim e being. If you h a v e n ’t
noticed, the old Chinese curse
came true sometime during the
Reagan administration. We live
in very interesting times. Given
the choice, however, I’d take less
“interesting tim es” and m ore
“job secu rity ” any day. o f the
week.
But I’ll save th at for later.
Right now I’m working at a full­
time job; and that makes me a
very fo rtu nate soul, indeed. I
even have som e free tim e,
between the demands of career
and family. W hich brin g s me
back to this column.
It’s been a long time since I’ve
been on campus, so I’ve come
back to do a little sight seeing,
buy a cheesteak at Ulyssis* truck,
talk about the working world —
pay, unemployment, retirement,
intellectual property, sexual harrassment, that sort of thing.
I’ll also answer questions in
this space, if you’re inclined to
ask. If you’d like to know more
about your career, or the work­
place in general, drop me a line.
If your co-op was anything like
mine, you’re bound to have plen­
ty of unanswered questions.
I’ve paid for my fair share of
credit hours at the post-graduate
school of hard knocks. If you’d
like to hear more about it, I’m
more than willing to talk. But if
you want to make it more of a
conversation and less of a lecture,
you have to talk back. Take it
from me.. It’s a lot easier trudging
up the learning curve when you
have company.
As a b u d d in g jo u rn alist, I
come fully equipped with all the
standard features. I’m opinionat­
ed and cantankerous. So are my
friends and co-workers, who will
occasionally ask me to make their
cantankerous opinions known to
you. I’ll even throw in some spe­
cial features from time to time.
But 1 promise never to be con­
troversial. Cross my heart. (Yeah;

Malik Rose had an off night after his number
was retired, but it didn't matter.
Andrew Ross
<;TAfFWHITEH
“Our approach to the tourna­
ment is that we have to be con­
cerned with ourselves.”
So says Drexel men’s basket­
ball coach Bill Herrion on the eve
ol' Drexel’s foray into the North
Atlantic C onference T o u rn a ­
ment. And the way the Dragons
have been playing lately, they
might not have to be concerned
with anybody else.
The Dragons head into the
tourney on a 11-game winning
streak, having crushed Vermont
and Hartford in a regular-season
ending homestand. The Dragons
beat V erm ont 86-59 and
Hartford 74-56.
Perhaps
the
highlight of the
H artford game
came not during
the gam e, but
before it. The final
regu la r - s e a s o n
game at Drexel is
always
Senior
Day, and the
Drexel crowd took some time to
honor the school’s three seniors:
Malik Rose, Cornelius Overby
and George Hudgins. After that,
Rose’s number 00 went up into
the rafters. Well, figuratively,
anyway.
The only thing left to make a
perfect afternoon would be a
quick dism issal of H artford.
Hartford put up a fight before
going away, however. Drexel shot
a horrid .258 in the first half, but
only trailed 29-23 at the break. “I
said at the half ‘Thank God we
play defense around here,’” said
H errion. “ It probably should
have been 39-23.”
A pair of very questionable
foul calls limited Rose to a very
un-Rose-like three points and
two rebounds in the first half. He
finished with eight points and 13
boards, very good by anyone’s
standards, but Rose didn’t seem
to feel that they measured up to
his.
“T hings just d id n ’t go my
way,” said Rose, “it started spe­
cial. I just wanted today to be
really perfect. I wanted to let
Drexel see the best basketball 1
could play. It just didn’t work out
that way.”
“I’m sure he’s happy that we
w on,” said Herrion. “ I’m sure
that he wanted to go out with 40
points and 30 rebounds. Maybe
he feels like he’s
let some people
down by not
doing that, but
th a t’s absurd.
W e’re 90-som e­
thing and whatev­
er because you
came
h e re ,”
H errion
said,
addressing Rose
directly. “That would not have
happened if you h ad n ’t come
here.”
The V erm ont C atam ounts
gave Drexel much less grief. In
fact, the Dragons may have put
to gether their most com plete
performance to date. Vermont
never lead during the game, and
C atam ount star Eddie Benton
was held to just 12 points — his
average is just over 25.
“I’ve been playing against him
for four years, and I used to jump
around a lot,” said Overby, who
can take a lot of the credit for
shutting Benton down. “But I
learned you have to beat him to
the spot and deny him the ball.”
"Thank God we
play defense
around here."

Women win to advance to quarterfinals
Larry Rosenzweig
PRODUaiONMANAGER
For the second straii;ht season,
the women’s basketball team will
advance to the second round ot'
the North Atlantic Conference
playoffs, after defeating Towson
State 88-81 in the Dragons tlrstever NAC home playotTcontest.
Drexe! started the game out on
fire, jumping to a quick 16-7 lead.
Towson countered and by the
midpoint of the half pulled to
within one.
The rest of the half was a see­
saw battle, but the Dragons con­
tinued to maintain a two to three
basket advantage. However,
Towson cut the lead to one and
scored with one second left in the
half to give the Tigers a 43-42
halftime lead.
Kim Koschineg led the
Dragons at the half with 20
points, hitting 8-of-14 from the
floor, including two three point­
ers. Jen MacNeill, who was
forced to wear an air cast due to
an avulsion fracture of her left
ankle, added II.
In the second half, the
Dragons looked a little sluggish,
allowing the Tigers to jump out
to a 57-46 lead with 15:41
remaining in the game. But slow­
ly the Dragons came alive.
Baskets by Laura Lyons, LaTasha
Rice, MacNeill and Koschineg
brought Drexel to within five, 6156.
Towson would stretch its lead
back to eight, 58-66, before
Drexel mounted another offen­
sive. Two baskets by MacNeill
and free throws by Rice and
T iltany Davis brought the
Dragons to within two. Another
basket by Davis evened the score
at 66 with 7:25 to go.
However, the Dragons once
again slipped, allowing the Tigers
to jump out to a t'lve point lead.
But that would be the last lead for
Towson. From that point, it was
all Drexel. Rice exploded, scoring
three straight baskets to give the
Dragons their first lead of the
halt', 73-71 with 4:24 to go.
Baskets
by
MacNeill
Koschineg, Rice and Kathleen
Feeney extended the Drexel lead
to seven, 81-74 with 1:29 left.
Towson desperately tried to
comeback, fouling Drexel players
and attempting four three point­
ers in the t'inal moments of the
game. But the Tigers only hit one
from downtown and the L")ragons
hit 7-of-i 1 free throws to take the
win, 88-81.
Koschineg led the Dragons
with 26 points. Both MacNeill
(22 points, 14 rebounds) and
Rice (21 points, 10 rebounds)
scored double-doubles. Feeney
recorded seven assists.
The Dragons now go on to
play top seeded pow erhouse
University of Maine on March 3
at 1:00 p.m. Drexel has lost both
contests to the Blackbears this
season, 107-53 at Maine, and 7847 here at the Physical Education

Baseball looking to reach potential
The season opens March 1; the emphasis will
be on pitching.
FrancisWisniewski
SPORTS EDITOR
The Drexel baseball season
opens on March 1 with a lot of
potential and a lot of uncertainty.
The pitching and outfield are set,
but key positions at first, third,
and catcher arc held by new play­
ers.
And with only 17 players on
the squad, depth is a problem .
“Offensively, defensively, a n d
pitching-wise, we’re very strong
through our starting lineup, but
team depth may be a question
down the road if injuries occur,”
said Coach Don Maines, who is
starting his seventh season with
Drexel.
T he p itc h in g is g o o d , the
D ra g o n s re tu r n se n io rs Kris
D orion (9-3, 2.24 ERA), Nick
Rizzo (3-3, 3 .90), a n d D an
Shannon (2-4, 7.80) in the start­
ing r o ta tio n . J u n io r M a tt
S p erlin g , c o m in g o ff an a rm
in ju ry , s h o u ld be the fo u rth
starter.
“Pitching is the strength of our
team . We have fo u r guys w ho
have spent four years here and
m a d e a lo t o f s ta rts fo r u s ,”
Maines explained.
In the bullpen, Eric Moore (64, 4.24), who can also start, and
so p h o m o re Taylor K app (3-0,
3.10) will probably see m ost o f
the work. In addition, the pitch­
ing staff has experience with Joe
Messineo (2-4, 3.77), and will get
quality work from James Coccaro
and Todd Fiore.
The biggest change from last
y ear will be re p la cin g c a tc h e r
John Shannon, the team’s leading
hitter with a .396 average and a
team high eig ht h o m e ru n s.
F re sh m e n Lou M a rc h e tti and
M att Nieber will try to replace
him.
C o ach M aines feels secu re
starting them, “Two catchers is
definitely a plus. We had to hold
our breath all last year that John
wouldn’t get hurt. Plus, catching
58 gam es last year s ta rte d to
show on him at the end of the
season. W e’re blessed to have
two q u ality im p act c a tc h e r s ,”
M aines said of M a rc h e tti and
Nieber. Sophomore Joe Miksitz
will lend a hand in catching as
well this season.
The outfield is set with right
fielder D orion (.385, 5 HR, 59
RBI) and left fielder S perling
(.327, 1 HR, 30 RBI) p la y in g
when they aren’t pitching. Ryan
Ross (.242, 1 H R) an d Kevin
Fahy (.234, 18 SB) will likely pla­
toon in center and fill in where
needed. Freshman Jose Jiminez is
progressing and will likely see
w ork in all three outfield posi­
tions as well as designated hitter.
The infield is less certain, los­
in g s e c o n d b a se m a n A dam
W h ite a n d th ird b a s e m a n
Carmin Quartapella, but returns
shortstop and co-captain Mike
Harris (.319 28 RBI)..
Junior college transfers Jason
Gold (IB) and Sean Joyce (3B)
will s ta rt rig h t away. D e n n is
Helkowski, (.355, 35 RBI) who
saw actio n at second base last
year, will take over the position
this season.
The Drexel team has a lot of
talent. At least three seniors may
have a cha n ce to p lay at least
m inor leagues. Kris D oiron was

th e to u g h e s t in th e n a tio n to
strikeout, striking out only three
times in 221 at bats. In fact, in
three years, he has struck out only
10 times in 532 at bats. He was
also th e 1995 N o rth A tla n tic
C onference T o u rn a m e n t MVP
even thoug h Drexel lost in the
finals.
"H e has u n q u e s tio n a b ly
enough talent to play at the next
level. He’s one of the best players
th a t I’ve ever seen in m y life,”
Maines said.
Harris and Rizzo appeared in
the p re stig io u s A tlan tic C oast
Baseball L eague th is s u m m e r
with Harris winning league MVP
and Rizzo named the league most
valuable pitcher.
W inning is more on the play­
ers’ minds.
“Everybody wants to go on,
but it’s out of our hands,” Doiron
and Rizzo said. “But, we want to
go o u t w inners. O u r goal is to
win the NAC.”
“The window of opportunity is
closing on th e s e n io rs,” Rizzo
said, q u o tin g th e m ovie, Bull
Durham.
The team w hich w ent to the
NAC finals last season should be
very c o m p e titiv e ag ain in the
South Division of the NAC. With
games at the Liberty Bell classic
April 10-11 at the Vet; a spring

Carolina and Virginia; non-conference games against city teams
Villanova, LaSalle, St. Joe’s, and
T e m p le ; a n d a h o m e d o u b le h e a d e r versus P enn State, this
should be a very entertaining sea­
son.
Wrestling streaking to championships
AnhDang
STAFF WRfTER
Every sp o rts te a m w an ts to
gain some m om entum going to
the post season. T ry this on for
size: the Drexel w restling team
has won the last six dual meets to
improve its record to 13-7 over­
all.
“ I th in k w e’re on a upsw ing
rig h t n o w ," said C o a c h Jack
Childs. “The guys are peaking ...
and [getting] ready for the cham­
pionships.”
“The Penn match should be a
j^-.ood tune-up for us. Penn is as
good as any team in the [East
C o ast W re stlin g A sso ciatio n ]
conference. They’re ranked in the
country. We’re decidedly under­
dogs, but we’ll see how the guys
perform."
'i’he EWCA tournam ent is on
March 9-10 at Rider. The top two
finishers in each weight will qual­
ify for the NCAA Championships
to be held M arc h 21-23 in
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Feb. 29 Penn m atch will
conclude the regular season for
the D ragons. C om ing to Penn,
the team has a chance to bring up
th e n u m b e r o f th e 2 0-w in
w restle rs to six, w hich w ould
m atch last year’s school record.
This should be a pleasant surprise
for Coach Childs since there is
only one senior (Brett Kendall)
on Ais “learning” year team.
“The guys have come along a
little bit faster than I’d expect,”
said Childs. “This should pave
the way for next year. Next year’s
going to be big for us.” Of the last
six wins. Coach Childs thought
th e w in at R u tg ers was m o st
impressive for the team. Rutgers
had not previously been beaten at
home.
C h ild s is p leased w ith his
junior Jamie Huntington (heavy­
w eight) this year. H u n tin g to n
(20-5 overall) is red-hot, winning
the last 13 dual meets in which he
recorded seven falls.
H untington said he hopes to
peak for the EWCA tournament.
Huntington is a returning confer­
ence c h a m p io n , so he said he
expects to do well in the champi­
onships.
W re stlin g at 118 p o u n d s ,
freshman Brian Tashner has won
six of his seven matches to raise
his o v erall re c o rd to 20-5.
Tashner attributes his success to
the coaching staff and “the guys
on the team who are really help­
ful and always look in g o u t for
me.
A n o th e r fre sh m a n , Eric
M cGrath (177 pounds), is 19-9
and winning nine out of his last
10. He said he d id n ’t th in k he
could do this well. At the begin­
ning of the season McGrath said
his goal was to m ake it above
.500. Now he has his eyes on the
nationals. W ith less than a year of
collegiate experience, M cG rath
said he’s become a stronger and
smarter wrestler.
At 126 pounds, Brett Kendall
is 21-10 and has won the last two
matches. Kendall said thinking of
this year as the last time he can
com pete in the collegiate level
m otivates him to perfo rm well
every time he goes on the mat.
His first career win against Rider
is his best win this year.
At 167 pounds, ju n io r Adam
H o c k e n b e rr y
is
17-14.
Hockenberry said he’s not happy
with his record since he lost some
close matches. H e’s won four of
his last five, and has a high expec­
tation for himself in the EWCA
tournament.
He said he’s improved his foot
movement and overall condition
this season. His personal h ig h ­
light so far has been winning all
four m atches against H o fstra ’s
TonyVecchio.
S o p h o m o re Bill Brown (158
pounds) has the most wins in the
team w ith 24, to go along with
seven losses. Brown said his reds h irte d s e a so n la st y ea r has
helped a g reat deal. H e ’s been
d o in g m o re w eight lifting this
year to add strength.
Junior Corey Padovano (134
pounds) is 19-7 and has won his
last sbc. Padovano said he started
the season strong but slid a little
bit when he ran into some tough
o p p o n en ts. He said his last six
wins could be deceiving, but he
he thinks he “is wrestling as well
as I’ve done all year.” Preparing
for the conference tournam ent,
Padovano said the mental part is
as i m p o r ta n t as th e p hysical.
"You’ve got to keep your weights
dow n th r o u g h o u t the t o u r n a ­
ment. You’ll be in good shape if
you keep the mental framework,”
said Padovano.

MacNeil named to first team
Jen MacNeill was named to the first
team All-NAC for the 1995-96 season.
She is among the leaders in scoring,
rebounding, field-goal percentage and
free-throw percentage. She had start­
ed every game of her three year career
until an ankle injury kept her out of a
game last week. She also was named
to the GTE District 2 All-Academic
team this week, making her eligible to
be an Academic All-American.
Lyons, Koschineg honored
Laura Lyons and Kim Koschineg were
selected to the NAC All-Rookie team
announced on Feb. 27. Koschineg, a
three-time NAC Rookie of the Week,
started all 26 games this season for the
Dragons, and averaged 13.8 points a
game. She is the leading three-point
shooter on the team.
Lyons missed the first 10 games of the
season with an injury, but has come
back to average 5.9 points and 3.6
points per game. She scored a high of
19 points in a Feb. 10 win against
Hofstra.

Triangle Sports Hero
Cornelius Overby
12 points, seven rebounds, five assists,
five turnovers, and two goal-tending
calls isn't a good stat line, but Overby
had a great game against Hartford,
especially in the first half, when every­
one else was ice cold. I have trouble
with getting called for goaltending
too.
Tiffany Davis
With Jen MacNeil hurting, Davis filled
in with 35 points and 30 rebounds in
two losses. A couple too many
turnovers, but a very encouraging sign
for next season.
Sports Dogs
Rutgers-Camden
The administration this week eliminat­
ed the basketball program that had
lost 108 straight games. The Division III
school hadn't won a game in four sea­
sons. But, why eliminate it?
The Pittsburgh Steelers went over 40
years without making the playoffs
before winning four Super Bowls in six
years - what would've happened if
they would've eliminated that team?
Neil O'Donnell, Jets (Ha!)
Went from Super Bowl loser to just
plain loser with the Jets.

Hartford (5-21) Delaware
Sat. 2:00 p.m.,
(both 15-11)
@U. of Delaware
This year: Beat New Hampshire 11068 and 87-75. Defeated Hartford 79-72
in OT and 74-56. Struggled against
Hartford in both games.
All-time: 11-1 vs. New Hampshire,
10-1 against Hartford.
Will be missed: New Hampshire's
Scott Drapeau. He was good, but fun
to yell at and easily rattled.
Streaks: New Hampshire has lost nine
of its last 11. Hartford has lost 10 of its
Jast12.
Analysis: The Dragons face the winner
of New Hampshire and Hartford on
March 1. They split the regular season
series. Hartford is a little better.
Drexel is much more talented than
both of these teams. Hartford has a
more balanced attack from its guards
and Howse; New Hampshire is all Matt
Alosa, but he's tough.
Either way, Drexel has too much fire
power, and even if Malik Rose of Jeff
Myers is off, there is still enough talent
to win. Drexel would rather face UNH,
so that they only have to shut down
one weapon.
Sagarin prediction: Both games,
Drexel by 23
My pick: Either way, Drexel by 20.
Bonus: During the game. The Triangle
will be giving away free tickets for
Sunday's game to fans with the Drexel
"attitude." Extra tickets to anyone who
paints themselves completely blue.

Players to watch:
Delaware: Peca Arsic (Jr.) F, 6-9
Towson: Scooter Alexander (Sr.) G, 6-3
Will be missed: I never liked
Delaware's Brian Pearl; he always
played well against the Dragons.
Streaks: Towson has lost three of its
last four. Delaware has won four of its
last five, including back-to-back wins
against Towson to end the regular
season.
Analysis: I am not too impressed by
Towson State. Because this is their first
season in the NAC, they won early in
the season by teams not being familiar
with any of their players. Peca Arsic is
dangerous, and Delaware has a pretty
balanced team including seven
seniors.
Delaware and Towson just played
twice in the last week, with Delaware
winning both. Towson has the edge
with revenge, but Delaware has
home-court advantage.
Drexel doesn't want to face Delaware
at their court, but probably will.
Drexel/Delaware would be a better
game than the final.
Sagarin prediction: Drexel over
Towson by 12, Delaware by 7,
My pick: Against Towson, Drexel by
15. If we play Delaware, Drexel by 5.

WACKO FOR JESUS
Given half the chance, and all
the explosives, I would disinte­
grate the transmitter, wherever it
may be, which fills the air with
poison under the guise of a Y100
broadcast.
No ifs, ands, maybe a but or
two. I am regularly maddened by
the ringing in my ears of seven
songs which somehow are wor­
thy of supporting the entire play
list of a radio station.
It starts in an office where
radio control is fought for with
passion.
Everybody has their moments
of co n tro l, only to be re lin ­
quished soon after. This is how I
have com e to know the slow
death that is Y100.
Like most subtle poisons, for
example. Republicanism and any
ketchup that isn’t Heinz, YlOO
veils its evil
beneath a smooth
veneer o f good
things ahead.
An occasional
tune may strike a
positive note with
you,
possibly
reminding you of
som ething
or
someone you did
while listening to
the song in times past, perhaps of
a tim e w hen the song w asn ’t
repeated every hour as an aid to
those in the listening audience
needing to set th e ir w atches,
clocks and really big hour glass­
es.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing,
almost as potent as unexpected
electrical shocks. You may also
like a song for the way it oozes
Urban Outfitters dressing room
aura, the ideal soundtrack for
your $45 used jeans, $20 plain
white T-shirt and the appeal of
the opposite sex you presume it
garners you.
Usually, though, your enjoy­
ment of a song is based in your
having been affected mortally by
the poison, addicted to repeti­
tion and addicted to repetition
and addicted to repetition.
The fast food mentality of the
radio industry whips up a few
crowd-pleasing dishes every few
months and makes them specials
of the day after day. If these
songs were cows, their nipples
would be really sore. 1 know
mine are.
If it’s not the comfort of familiarity that makes you a self-
destructing aural addict, shun­
ning variety against your own
best interest, then you must be
attra cted to m usic which
inevitably annoys those around
you to the point of exclaiming
their passionate distaste for recy­
cled music.
Do you listen to YlOO solely
for the experience of hearing
someone utter, “I’ve heard better
beer co m m ercials,” or, " I’m
going to vomit and have diarrhea
and a brain tum or at the same
time if I hear this hollow excuse
for a song one more time this
h o u r ”? If this perversity
describes you, congratulations
on fully conditioning yourself to
disregard the humanity of those
around you, allowing no obsta­
cles on your road to personal ful­
fillment.
This will, however, get you
killed before the year is over.
Disgruntled listeners can stand
only so much, and
they can usually
focus their aggres­
sion
extrem ely
acutely.
. It will take some
sacrifice. You will
have to concede
that you will miss
the two songs a day
you
enjoy
or
haven’t heard before.
You will not have the conve­
nience of kndwing when songs
will com e on based on past
trends, so you won’t be able to
make as many “sure thing” $20
bets about the future with slow
friends.
The joy of Traffax will have to
find its way to a new, uncharted
frequency. You won’t share the
witty banter of their cutting edge,
so-w acky-they-should-be-instraight-jackets-oh-I’m-confusing-them-with-actually-funnypeople disc jockeys.
Yes, the sacrifice will be great,
but the eventual benefits will
make you a better, more worldly
person with much to offer the
global community in the form of
a more alert self, sober from the
intoxication that is aural atro­
phy.
That, and you’ll be way cool
like me.
Since receiving this book as a gift a
few weeks ago, 1have enjoyed some
of the most restful sleep in recent
memory, complete with A+ dreams
and no bed wetting. Mysteriously, the
friend who gave me the book has
been suffering chronic insomnia for.
weeks on end. Apparently she, like
myself, was addiaed to the late night
calm induced by the fading thoughts
of the little bunny in the toy filled
room. I'll be damned if I'm giving it
back, though.
The original model, gloriously metallic,
makes short work of inclined planes
and staircases and still comes back to
me so Ican do that Slinky hand
motion thing. Anything that can make
that cool Slinky sound and teach fun­
damental physics deserves a place of
honor at your dinner table.

a more fitting moniker.
My prom oter friend slipped
me a com pilation prom o disc
with songs from two of th eir
albums, 40 oz. To Freedom and
Robbin’ the Hood. It gives a little
taste o f th eir sou n d , and the
assumer in me supposes that the
full albums would be more of the
same.With the exception of a few
tracks thrown on to annoy the
easily irritable (“Why the Hell
d o n ’t we try punk? Everyone
does it.”), the songs provide a
smooth ride of low-end reggae
throb-a-dob-dob, the mandatory
clean jangled guitar chikkas, and
the beat the beat the beat.
I couldn’t imagine sitting and
listening to this for the sole pur­
pose of listening, but as a distrac­
tion, a supplementary antidote
for the relaxation impaired, this
music has a definite right to be
heard.
Its sound manages to grab you
by the ears, or whatever you like
to listen with, and doesn’t let go,
because then you would be deaf.
But, deafness aside, you’ll be
able to say you gave a listen and
were reminded that in addition
to all that stuff that you hate but
do anyway, wasting your pre­
cious time here on Earth, there’s
plenty of time for absolutely
nothing but the im m ersion of
one fried-out cerebellum in sonic
tonic.
