hen Gilbert's reopens next
fall, a new addition will be
present along with the familiar
staples of nachos and wings. A
large big screen television will
be positioned in the front room
that will run the station "mtvU"
continuously. T h e presence of
the television will officially make
Lafayette an mtvU school.
"I think mtvU looks great," said
Pam Brewer, director of student
life programs. "It is diverse, entertaining, and educational."
Unlike the normal M T V channels, mtvU is a television station
aimed specifically at college stuflenis and is featured on over 730
campuses nationwide.
L a u r e n A c k e r m a n , assistant
director of student life programs,
explained that in one hour, there

mtvU does not guarantee this will

said they saw their belongings
floating down the hall. "I saw my

Plant O p e r a t i o n s eventually
shut the water off so the dorm

According to Bruce Ferretti,
d i r e c t o r of Plant O p e r a t i o n s ,
because new sprinkler systems
are currently being installed in
the dorm, the'risk of breaking a
pipe increases.
"If you p u t in a b u n c h of
sprinkler devices out there, the
more you put out there, the more
chances of failure or inadvertent
water release occurs," Ferretti
said. " T h e increase of sprinkler
systems puts us at a higher risk of
this happening again."
Ferretti said he suspected tKe
cause may have been that the
pipe was frozen. When sprinklers
are installed, he said, some of
the piping could be in areas that
do not get enough heat, causing
them to ice over.
" W h e n a pipe does n o t get
enough heat, there can be total
or partial icing of the pipe which
causes the pipe to fracture," explained Ferretti. " T h e only other

"We [then] received another

said Brewer. "The mtvU network
is closely related to the tour."
According to Ackerman, M T \ '
strongly rcccimmends becoming
an mtvU school in order to better
the chances of bringing its tour
to campus.
Brewer also said that Lafayette's participation as an mtvU
school would not u n d e r m i n e
the intellectual integrity of the
college. " T h e best .schools in the
country have mtvU," she said.
"4'he stereotype would be that
Lafayette w o u l d be d u m b e d
down by MTV, but mtvU is much
better," said John Ihiel '06, cochair of LAF's music committe.
''It won't take over the school."
Ackerman agreed, and said the
singular chamiel's programming
will be controlled and administrators will know what is being
shown.
T h i e l said that t h e music
shown on the c hannel will not be
of the ty]5ical M T V variety. "The
nuvU channel will feature, mostly
up-and-coming artists," he said.
Fhe only problem that Brewer
said she encountered with becoming an m t v U school was
deciding on the location of the
telev ision.
"We h a d o r i g i n a l l y talkcci

a c c o r d i n g to A c k e r m a n a n d
Brewer, students use Farinon for
too many activities, including
studying a n d conversing, and
the television would need to be
running constantly. After consultation with students and administrators, Farinon was ruled out.
"Everyone was in agreement
a b o u t G i l b e r t ' s , " said .Xckerman.
Brewer explained that mtvU
will be shown in the front rcjom
and the old television would be
moved to the back room.
Brewer said she believes that
both facullv and students will
look favorabh- on the program.
"It will be just one more thing
offered in conjunction with all
the other aspects of Lafayette,"
she said.
R a c h e l S c a r p a t o ' 0 8 said,
"I think that it will be a very
positive thing, especially with
the activist and student-centered
programs."
Leah Leinbach '08 added,
"Regardless of if you think it
is correct, we sell out to other
companies, alscj. So you wcjulcl

il isn't hurting the student body.
[The] M T V [program] seems to
be a very positive thing for the
student body, anyway."
Separate from the mtvU television at Gilbert's, a new sound
system will also be added to the
back room that can be used for

TAURUS:
SCORPIO:
(April 2 1 - May 21)
In real estate, the term "puffi n g " refers to an a g e n t w h o
overstates the attributes of a
property in order to push a sale.
Even though you feel your deeds
alone should speak on your behalf, a little occasional puffery
might be in order.
(Oct. 2 4 - N o v . 22:
Lard, butler, or vegetable oil
- they're all good at greasing a
cookie sheet or cake pan. But in
looking to "grease the skids" of
your romance, you'll need to show
a degree of efibrt that impresses
and reassures your sweetie.
GEMINI:
(May 2 2 - J u n e 21)
T h e r e is always that fine line
between doing for others and
doing for yourself. When you're
feeling swamped, just remember
that you're not much good to
anyone else unless your own
basic needs are met.
SAGITTARIUS:
(Nov. 2 3 - D e c . 2 1 )
If you haven't begun already,
now is the time to start planning
for this year's spring planting.
Consider stepping out of your
usual p a t t e r n by a d d i n g a n
exotic flower or new vegetable.
Variety is good for the soul.
CANCER
(June 22 -July 23)
T h e dictionary defines "catty"
as spiteful or malevolent; backbiting. Probably you recall that
sort of behavior from your high
school days. By now, those pubescent ways should be ancient
history. Pass it along - be chatty,
not catty.
CAPRICORN:
(Dec. 22 - J a n . 20)
Were you a wrestler, you'd swejir
your opponent had you immobilized in a headlock. It will take
some twisting and wriggling to
be free of this solid clutch. Rely
on your mettle and competitive
.spirit to help you win the bout.
LEO:
(July 24 - A u g 23)
Were you to list your top 10
favorite pursuits, delving deeply
into a disagreeable subject
would not make the cut. For
your part, you'll take the fiulT,
the genteel pleasantries, and the
avoidance of controversy.
AQUARIUS:
(Jan. 21 - F e b . 19)
Expect to gain momentum from
a powerful tailwind of good
fortune. R a t h e r than blowing
you off course, these vigorous
gusts will serve to propel you
on a straight path to reach and
maybe even surpass your goal.
VIRGO:
(Aug. 24 - Sept. 23)
Any witness for the prosecution would be on shaky ground
portraying you as unobservant.
They would, however, be on
target depicting you as someone
p r o n e to criticism. W h a t d o
you think? Is that the truth, the
whole truth,...?"
PISCES:
(Feb. 20 - March 20)
While i n d u l g i n g y o u r active
imagination, be careful of misrepresentation of the facts. In
the words of Kahlil Gibran, "An
exaggeration is a truth that has
lost its temper."

he Leopards softball team
sealed the deal this past weekend, winning the series against
Colgate, making it impossible for
the team to finish lower than second place in the Patriot League.
O n Saturday, Lafayette won
both games against the Raiders
and with thanks to the Lafayette's
pitching, Colgate was unable to
make m u c h h a p p e n , p r o d u c ing just one run in each game.
Lafayette won the morning game
by the score of 6-1 and won the
afternoon game in a come-from
behind-victory 3-1.
In game one, Lafayette was on
the board early, when sophomore
shortstop Kristen Ruckno hit a solo
homerun. Colgate earned one
run with a pair of singles in second
inning, but that was it for the entire
game, with junior pitcher Megan
Averbuch taking control of the rest
of the game, giving up six hits and
no runs.
For the Lafayette batters, the
ofiense started with a bunch of
singles in the second inning earning a total of four runs. Two RBIs
came from a single from freshman
SS. Robyn Matchctt and another
two RBIs came ofi" a single from
senior DH Lauren Belowich in the
second inning. Lafayette produced
one more run in the second inning,
off a single by .senior 3B Gianna
Lopreato. The rest of the game
remained scoreless, and Averbuch
was credited with the win while
Colgate pitcher Katie Howard was
credited with the loss, having given
up eight hits.
In game two, it was a very dramatic game that came down to the
last inning. Lafayette was trailing
l-O off a RBI single Colgate scored
in the fourth inning. It was not until Belowich, came through in the
clutch hitting a walk-ofT three-run
homerun out to left center. Along
with the three-run homerun, as
a pitcher she also gave up only
two hits and struck out five to be
awarded the win (6-10).
On Sunday, the first game prevented Lafayette from sweeping
the series as they lost by the score
of 5-1. Averbuch (7-11) gave up
five runs and eight hits in 4 1/3
innings pitched and Belowich was
p u t in and finished the remaining
2 2 / 3 innings giving up three hits
and no earned runs. Lafayette
scored its first and only run in the
first inning off a solo homerun
from Ruckno. Going into fifth
inning, the g a m e was tied 1-1
when Colgate produced four runs.
Lafayette was unable to catch up to
Colgate in the game and eventually lost.
In g a m e two, the L e o p a r d s
played like they wanted their revenge, posting three runs on the
board while giving up none, shutting out Colgate by a final score
of 3-0. Belowich (7-10) gave up
just three hits and struck out five.
Lafayette earned all three of their
runs in the fourth inning, off a twoRBI triple from junior outfielder
Michelle Ellis and an RBI single
from Lopreato to drive in Ellis.
That ensured Lafayette's victory
while Belowich took care of the
rest from the mound.
Lafayette will attempt to continue this dominant play as it plays
two away games against Delaware
State on Tuesday. Patriot League
action follows as Lafayette travels
to West Point, to play Army on
Saturday and Sunday in a division
match-up.
