Recruiting aims to increase diversity

By LAURA ROMPFN ew s Writer

Attending Notre Dame can be a daily ch a l le n g e for A fr ican Americans, who m ake up only th r e e p e r c e n t o f th e s tu d e n t population.

“I was not dismayed [when I first arrived] at all by the ratio of African Americans to whites at Notre Dame. But as the say­ing goes, ‘Reality bites whim it sets in ' The truth is always dif­fe ren t and one m u s t a d ju s t , " said freshman Anthony Barber.

N o tre D am e c o n t i n u e s to make an effort to increase the n u m b e r of m inority s tu d e n ts , s a id a d m i s s i o n c o u n s e l o r Christy Fleming.

“YVe a re committed to c re a t ­ing e th n ic d iv e r s i ty a n d th e school in general supports this cause,"said Fleming. “We try to c r e a te a w e lc o m in g e n v i r o n ­m e n t a n d in c r e a s e d iv e rs i ty because this will help the e d u ­cation of all, no t ju s t A frican A m e r i c a n s , w h e n th e y will experience ano ther cu l tu re .”

The University takes several m e a s u r e s to r e c r u i t A fr ic a n Americans.

“Admissions holds a phone-a- t h o n to r e c r u i t A f r i c a n Americans,” Iris Outlaw, d irec­to r of M u l t i c u l tu r a l S tu d e n t Affairs, said.

“They ask African-Am erican

studen ts to work these phone- a - thons , and often have them call the a r e a they a re from or s tu d e n ts from the high school they a ttended," Outlaw said.

F lem ing ad d e d th a t spec ia l events also take place to try to p ursuade African Americans to a t tend Notre Dame.

“We have a fall open house w h e r e w e b r in g in s t u d e n t s mainly from the Midwest,"she said. “These a re students tha t h a v e a l r e a d y e x p r e s s e d a n interest in the University."

The rec ru itm en t process con­tinues in the spring semester.

“Our big event is the spr ing visitation w eekend w here s tu ­dents from across the country, who have already been adm it­ted or a re looked at favorably, c o m e to c a m p u s , " F le m i n g said.

Unlike the Admissions office, w h o s p e c i f i c a l l y r e c r u i t s African Americans, the athletic d e p a r t m e n t d o e s n o t m a k e race an issue in recruitment.

“To say we recru it a football player because he is an African A m e r ic a n or w h i te w ould be in a c c u ra te ,” sa id Bob Chmiel, a s s i s t a n t foo tba l l co a c h a n d rec ru itm en t coordinator.

“To recru it in a certain fash­ion b e c a u s e o f e th n ic b a c k ­ground would be disrespectful

INSIDE COLUMN

Shannon RyanM anaging Editor

All that I am or hope to

be ...When I left for college almost th ree years

ago, my m other did not know w here the scis­sors w ere to cut the apron strings.

Meanwhile, I had a cha insaw revving.I was ready to leap

from the nest without hesitation. I banished the words “homesick”from my lips, rarely called and never told my mom the truth: I missed her.

I clearly rem em ber an au tum n morning before I got on the bus for k indergarten, telling my mom that I would never leave home. She told me that one day I’d feel dif­ferently.

She w as right.Now, I d ream out loud about living in

places like Colorado or New York — dis­tances m easu red in light years to a mother in Ohio.

This will be my first sum m er away from home, and my mom insists tha t the re must be other in ternships closer to home. Kind of like how the re w ere good schools close to home, too.

But we both know w hat kind of mother she is. Despite protests, she w an ted me to go away to school, take an exciting job and t rav ­el, if those things make me a be t te r person.

My m o th e r ’s children a re more im portant to her than anything; sometimes, I worry, too important.

She cried ju s t as hard on my first day of k indergarten as on my last day of high school as when I left home to re tu rn back to school from spring break a few weeks ago.

But behind her tears and sappiness, my mom is one of the strongest people I know and has taught her children to be even stronger. My m other has had a hard life, but she h a s n ’t let herse lf become hard . Because of w hat I have seen her survive, I know I can survive even more.

As a single m other without m uch, my mom has given her children everything she has ever had. The lessons she h a s n ’t taught, I’ve caught from her.

Because of my mom, I can s tretch a buck further than any college student; I don’t mind not having a dad; I learned early why Susan B. Anthony is important; I know w hat good banana nu t b read should taste like, and I know the nam es of all “The W alton’s ”_kids.

For m ore than one reason, I c a n ’t thank her for everything she has done for me.

The list would include everything from bringing m e into the world to driving 15 m in ­utes out of her way to buy me fat-free choco­late mint frozen yogurt. And because she is a mother, she never points out all of the sacr i­fices I do n ’t notice.

The best thanks I can think to give her is Junior M oms’ Weekend. I’ll show h er my campus — the world she let me leap into — and help her see why I love the freedom she has given me, no m atte r how hard it is for her.

In the words of this y ea r ’s JMW theme, I have realized in the last few years tha t “all tha t 1 am or hope to be I owe to my m other .”

Although it has been hard , thank you,Mom, for m aking a few snips a t the apron strings. But I’ll unders tand if you have to keep the scissors in the pocket for a few more years.

Sometimes I still need you.

NATO airstrikes hit home for some Ole Miss studentsOXFORD, Miss.

NATO w a r p l a n e s b o m b a r d e d Yugoslavia with missiles W ednesday nigh t and e a r ly th is m o rn in g in an effort to cause the country to cease its onslaught against Kosovo Albanians.

But it w a s n o t only t h o s e in Y u g o s la v ia w h o fe lt th e e f f e c ts of NATO’s attack.

At Ole Miss, the fallen missiles have s truck the h e a r t of Yugoslavian s tu ­dents.

“It’s terrible, th e re ’s no justification for it,” said Marko Kostic a senior from Yugoslavia. “I’m spaced out right now. I have family over there .”

Kostic, who was still trying to digest the occurrence of the attacks, said his family lives less than 30 miles outside of Kosovo.

The NATO attacks came after failed negotiations between the Serbs, NATO and Kosovo Albanians and after a year of fighting between the Yugoslav forces

le M isand ethnic Albanian separatists. Ethnic Albanians, make up more than 90 per­cent of Kosovo’s 2 million people.

More than 2,000 people have been reported killed and more than 400,000 left homeless in Kosovo.

Doctoral candidate Srdan Filipovich from Belgrade, the Yugoslav capital, was livid.

“It’s naked agg re ss io n ,” Filipovich said. “It’s a criminal action with no jus­tification.”

F ilipovich , a S e rb , sa id NATO is unjustifiably siding with the Albanians

in this conflict.“ In 1941 th e N az is u n ju s t i f i a b ly

bombed Belgrade and in 1999, the Neo Nazis a re attacking Belgrade. NATO’s rea l face is now s h o w n ,” Filipovich said.

N either Filipovich n o r Kostic have been ab le to reach th e i r fam ilies in Yugoslavia.

Nicola Vujic, a December 1998 grad­uate of the Ole Miss School of Business, had more luck contacting his family in Belgrade.

Vujic sa id th o u g h h is p ro v in c e is about 300 miles from Kosovo, his p a r ­ents in form ed him th a t missiles had fallen within five miles of their home.

“NATO is h itt ing ta rg e ts all over ,” Vujic s a id . He a d d e d t h a t he got reports of civilian casualties in a neigh­boring city.

NATO is making their at tack under the pretext of stopping crimes against humanity, Vujic explained.

0 N E W YORK UNIVERSITYScientists discover HIV inhibitor

NEW YORK, N.Y.Research conducted by New York U. scientists and the

National Institutes of Health has identified a potent anti-HIV agent that is presen t in humans. Specifically, the agent is located in a beta subunit of lysozyme, a protein found in all bodily fluids. The scientific analysis, headed by Sylvia Lee- Huang , Ph.D., a professor of b iochemistry at NYU, and Hao-Chia Chen, Ph.D., a research chemist at theNational Institutes of Child Health and Human Development, led to a discovery which clarifies often misunderstood methods of HIV transm ission . It w as oft believed th a t HIV could be transfe rred th rough all bodily fluids including saliva and tears. But researchers were quick to express doubts about this belief, and now they have solid proof. Lysozyme is not a newly discovered enzyme. Alexander Fleming, also credited with discovering penicillin, first identified the protein in 1922.

Bateson explains power of homeBy COLLEEN McCARTHYSaint M a n 's Editor

T h e p o w e r o f th e w o rd “home” and the connotations it evokes for people im pac ts th e way people relate to their envi­ronm ents and each o ther , said Mary Catherine Bateson, profes­sor of anthropology and English a t George Mason University.

“‘H om e’ is a very evocative w ord a n d am b ig u o u s E ng lish word,” said Bateson in a lecture Thursday. “It has a sentimental pull to it and a t the sam e time is quite a complex concept that is sa l ie n t in o u r c u l tu re . It p r o ­vides us with a s ta r t in g po in t fo r w h a t it m e a n s to h u m a n c o m m u n i t i e s a n d o t h e r c u l ­tures .”

Bateson indicated the differ­e n c e s b e t w e e n th e N a t iv e A m e r ic a n s an d th e c o lo n i s t s ’ views of land in early America.

“One of the main justifications for the colonists taking over the land was that the Indians d idn’t improve it,” she said. “That was d e m o n s t r a t i n g th e y d i d n ’t dese rve to have it. O w nersh ip meant improvement.”

B a te s o n th e n t u r n e d to t o d a y ’s w o r ld a n d th e r e a l estate industry.

“T h e r e a l e s t a t e i n d u s t r y c la im s it is in the b u s in e ss of selling hom es ,” she said. “It is always uncomfortable to be told you can buy a home. W hat they sell are houses and buildings. A house is not a home.

“A ho u se is so m e th in g you c a n b u y , r e n t , m o r t g a g e o r build. A home is something dif­ferent.”

Bateson challenged the crowd to th ink of the w ord h o m e as m ore th a n being sy n o n y m o u s

with a building and as p a r t of the landscape and natura l envi­ronment.

“ E v e r y o n e u n d e r s t a n d s ‘h o m e ’ to m e a n m o r e t h a n th a t ,” she said. “Think of how often you use home w hen you a rc not thinking of a house or a b u i ld in g w ith a d o o r . H o m e ’ can be expanded or contracted d ep e n d in g on the co n tex t it is

used in.“One of the ways a house is

not a home is because a house sits on a lot so m e w h ere ,” said Bateson. “One of the things tha t m akes people feel homesick or t h in k , ‘It f e e ls g o o d to be h o m e , ’ is s e e in g l a n d s c a p e s , pa r t icu la r trees or plants.

“Smells of food and conversa­t io n s c a n al l ev o k e i d e a s o f hom e.”

By add ing in the ecological aspect to home or landscape, it e x p a n d s the idea of h o m e to b e h a v io r a l co n c ep ts , su c h as how one lives and adapts.

“ It’s not w here you live, but how you l iv e ,” sa id B a te so n . “Home is as much people and culture and ways of interacting as it is bricks and m o r ta r .”

Bateson cited the example of k e e p in g e n d a n g e r e d s p e c ie s alive in a zoo.

“ If y o u a r c k e e p in g w h i te tigers in a zoo, it is not c lea r th a t th is is su rv iva l . It m igh t just be keeping par t of the gene pool a l iv e ,” sa id B a te son . “If you w an t to say the white tigers are still alive, you have to have w h i te t i g e r s a t h o m e in th e world, in the ir env ironm ent.”

B a te s o n a l s o s a id t h a t Americans need to abandon the idea tha t everything at home is familiar and easily understood, even though this thought might be p a r t o f w h a t p e o p le find c o m fo r t in g a b o u t th e id e a of “hom e.”

S he s a id s o m e A m e r i c a n s believe tha t crimes a re com m it­ted by o ther kinds of people of d if fe ren t r a c e s or relig ions or from different parts of cities.

However, she said that w ha t Americans fail to realize is that the grea t majority of rapes and m u r d e r s a r e c o m m i t t e d by f r ie n d s , fam ily m e m b e r s an d neighbors, not strangers.

“We a r e insisting these peo ­ple in the home are intelligible a n d t r u s t w o r t h y so d a n g e r must come from outside and we project this onto o ther groups,” sa id Bateson. “The mythology tha t is comforting to Americans is tha t d a n g e r is com ing from other g roups .”

R a t h e r t h a n w a n t i n g to u n d e r s t a n d e v e r y o n e a n d e v e r y th in g in o n e ’s h o m e , it should be regarded as mysteri­ous, said Bateson.

“Part o f the pain people expe­rience w hen they d o n ’t u n d e r ­s ta n d th in g s co m e s from the idea th a t hom e is p re d ic ta b le and controlled and it is not.”

Corporate level requires diversity

By ALISON HEINZNews Writer

It is im p o r ta n t for c o m p a ­nies to continue to encourage diversity a t a time when some s ta te s , inc lud ing C aliforn ia , Texas and Washington, have already done away with affir­m a t iv e a c t io n la w s , s a i d E lynor Williams, vice p r e s i ­den t for public responsibility for the Sara Lee Corporation.

A c c o r d in g to W i l l i a m s , “D iv e r s i ty in c o r p o r a t e America has been a p ro g re s ­sion,” said Williams. “But we m u s t r e ly on b a s ic h u m a n morality to ensure its continu­ation. Affirmative ac tion h a s lo n g b e e n c o n t r o v e r s i a l in America.

“Diversity can be described as a form of affirmative action, w h ic h m a k e s a f f i r m a t i v e ac tion m o re p a la ta b le ,” sh e said.

Williams said that no m a tte r how m uch diversity th e re is, the end result should be fa ir ­ness.

“Fairness is simply an equal shot,” she said. “Not g u a r a n ­teed success, bu t g u a ra n tee d opportunity.”

Williams also discussed the role of advertising in the p ro ­motion of diversity.

Big nam e companies includ­ing Crayola and Toyota have been guilty of m ak ing rac ia l b lunders in their advertising, she said

agency investigating last week’s d e a d ly c o l l i s io n b e t w e e n an Amtrak train and a steel-laden sem itra i le r said Thursday tha t evidence suggests the truck dri­v e r s t a r t e d in to th e r a i l ro a d c ro s s in g a f te r w a r n in g lights began to flash.

An attorney for the truck dri­ver, John Stokes, h a s said his client did not cause the March 15 c r a s h 50 m i le s s o u th of C h icago by a t t e m p t i n g to go around crossing gates and beat the oncoming train.

But Jim Hall, chairm an of the National T ranspor ta t ion Safety Board, told a Senate panel look­ing into the a c c id e n t th a t the d r i v e r ’s s to ry d oes no t a g re e with evidence from the scene, including two da ta recorders — o n e f ro m one o f th e t r a i n ’s e n g i n e s , th e o t h e r f rom th e crossing signal.

“We believe tha t the informa­tion and data w e ’ve collected so far tells a different story,” Hall said.

In addition, federal investiga­to r s have now dec id e d to r e ­interview eyewitnesses.

Bob Lauby, th e h e a d of the N TSB’s ra i l d iv is ion , Said he w asn ’t satisfied tha t inconsisten­cies in tes t im ony — inc luding that of three people who saw the c r a s h , S tokes a n d th e t r a i n ’s e n g i n e e r — h a d b e e n r e c o n ­ciled. He did not elaborate.

Hall also said that a key par t of the investigation will focus on w h e t h e r S t o k e s ’ e m p lo y e r , Melco Transfer Inc., adequately m o n i to re d his d r iv in g rec o rd before allowing him to stay on the road.

Administration, said it appeared th e c o m p a n y m e t all f e d e ra l requirements.

M e a n w h i le , th e c r a s h in Bourbonnais, 111., is renewing an old debate over w hat the federal government can do to keep vehi­cles out of the nation’s 259,000 railroad crossings, w here nearly most train accidents and fatali­ties occur.

Of all the op tions d isc u sse d before a Senate T ransporta t ion C o m m it t e e p a n e l on s u r f a c e transportation, the one given the least attention is the one many believe is the most foolproof way to re d u c e accidents : sp e n d in g th e e n o r m o u s su m s to e i th e r eliminate crossings or add high- tech improvements that make it virtually impossible for cars to get around gates.

In s tead , the talk focused on the responsibility of d r ivers to obey w arn ing signs, increasing pena l t ie s for those w ho d o n ’t, add ing en fo rcem ent tools such as c a m e r a s an d e n c o u r a g in g e f fo r t s to e d u c a t e th e pub l ic about the dangers of crossings.

“A railroad crossing accident

is p re v e n ta b le ,” said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, the s u b c o m m i t t e e ’s c h a i r w o m a n and a former NTSB vice chair.

W ykle s a id th e F e d e r a l H ig h w a y A d m i n i s t r a t i o n is ready to issue tough new penal­ties on truck drivers who violate federal rules on driving through a rail crossing.

In th e w orks for a y ea r and e x p e c t e d o u t w i th in a few m o n th s , the now r e g u la t io n s would suspend the l icenses of f i r s t - t i m e v io l a to r s fo r tw o months and four months for sec­ond offenders. Fines of $2,500 to $10,000 would come on top of that.

MOSCOWRussian leaders angrily denounced

NATO a i r s t r i k e s on Y u g o s la v ia Thursday, but President Boris Yeltsin said Moscow would no t use force in retaliation.

Some top officials h in t e d t h a t R u s s ia c o u ld p r o v id e Y u g o s la v ia w ith w ea p o n s — Routing an international arms e m b a r g o — an d dem onstrators hurled bottles at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. But Russia has mostly responded to the bombings with little more than harsh words.

“ Russia has a n u m b e r of e x t re m e m easures in store, but we decided not to use them so far,” Yeltsin said at the K re m l in . “ M o ra l ly w e a r e a b o v e America.”

Opposition to the airstrikes is acute across Russia’s political spectrum, but t h e r e ’s l i t t le th e c o u n t ry can do to dem onstrate its anger. It is no longer a major military power and it is pleading with the West for aid to revive its sha t­tered economy.

S till , P r im e M in i s te r Y ev g e n y P r im a k o v w a r n e d T h u r s d a y t h a t Russia could pose a military threat.

“We have different responses a t our disposal. Regarding military potential, our country is second to no one ,” he sa id on R u ss ia ’s NTV te levision. He th e n a d d e d , “ But w e a r e n ’t t a k in g those steps.”

F o re ig n M in is te r Ig o r Iv an o v on Thursday condemned the bombings as an effort to “enforce a political, eco­nomic and military dictatorship by the United S ta tes” — yet he insisted tha t wouldn’t herald a new Cold War.

“We a re n ’t calling for rupturing re la ­tions with the United States, we t r e a ­s u r e those r e la t io n s ,” Ivanov told a news conference.

When the attacks began Wednesday, Yeltsin said Russia was ceasing cooper­ation with NATO and recalled Russia’s ch ie f m il ita ry envoy to the W e s te rn a l l i a n c e . But th e IT A R -T a ss n e w s agency reported Thursday tha t Russia would keep its mission at NATO h ea d ­quar te rs in Brussels open and a p p a r ­ently would continue to take p a r t in other alliance programs.

Germany has sent peacekeep­ers to par t ic ipa te in U.N. m is ­sions in B osn ia and S om alia , and it has 2 ,800 ground troops deployed in Macedonia to m o n ­itor a hoped-for peace deal on Kosovo.

Feds showcase social security in 2000 budget planAssociated Press

WASHINGTON Sharply split along party lines,

the House on Thursday ratified a Republican “budget for the new m i l l e n n i u m , ” a b l u e p r i n t des igned to sh o w ca se su p p o r t for Social Security, the Pentagon and a new round of tax cuts.

D e m o c ra ts a r g u e d th a t th e O O P -b ac k ed ta x r e d u c t i o n s would favor the wealthy at the expense of the long-term health of Medicare and Social Security.

The vote on passage was 221- 208, and came after a full day of deba te that cen tered on priori­ties for the budget surpluses that are forecast for the next several years. All but two Republicans voted for the p la n . Only fou r Democrats supported it.

A c r o s s th e C a p ito l , S e n a t e Republicans were driving toward passing a similar budget for the 2000 fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.

The vote in the House marked a triumph for the new speaker, Rep. Dennis H aster t, who had m ade its passage the top priori­ty of his early months as leader o f t h e s l e n d e r R e p u b l i c a n majority.

H as te r t , R-Ill., sa id the GOP p r e s c r i p t i o n “sa v es m o r e for Socia l S ecur ity a n d M e d ica re than the president’s budget.”

In addition , it “p rovides for com m on-sense tax relief in the future. We have the largest s u r ­plus in history, which m eans the t a x p a y e r s a r e b e i n g o v e r ­c h a r g e d , ” he sa id in a s t a t e ­ment.

At the White House, President C l in to n i s s u e d a s t a t e m e n t d e s c r ib in g th e m e a s u r e a s a “series of missed opportunities.” The tax and spending plan did not “do enough to pay down the d e b t a n d s t r e n g t h e n S o c ia l S e c u r i t y a n d M e d i c a r e , ” he added

The budget, which sets guide­lines for tax and spending bills la ter in the year, would be the first to be written by Congress since the government en tered a new e ra of surpluses. And while House and Senate plans differed in detail, they had common pri­orities and served as the focus for a fierce partisan debate over Social Security , M edicare and tax cuts.

Rep. J o h n K a s ic h , R -O hio , ch a irm an of the House Budget

Committee, said the plan could “ n o t o n ly p r e s e r v e S o c ia l S e c u r i t y a n d M e d i c a r e , ” b u t em phasize defense and e d u c a ­t io n . “ W e a lso b e l i e v e t h e A m e r ic a n peop le o u g h t to be em powered, the American p e o ­ple ought to have more m oney in their pockets,” he said, r e fe r ­ring to almost $800 billion envi­sioned for tax cuts over the next decade.

“I th ink we project a b u d g e t for the new millennium th a t is r ig h t in p a c e ” w ith w h a t th e public wants , he said.

D em o cra ts coun te red w ith a le t te r from the ch ief a c tu a r ia l e x p e r t a t th e Socia l S e c u r i t y a g e n c y , w h o w r o te t h a t t h e House GOP plan would do n o th ­ing to extend the life of the sys­tem.

“T h e y c h o o s e th e ta x c u t s over ex tend ing the solvency of Social Security and Medicare, ” charged Democratic leader Dick Gephardt of Missouri. He said a Democratic plan of smaller, t a r ­geted tax cuts, would be fairer.

In a bew ildering m ountain of b u d g e t s t a t i s t i c s , e a c h s id e found fine p r in t to buttress their c l a im to b e i n g th e s t r o n g e r defender of Social Security and Medicare.

R e p u b l i c a n s , for e x a m p l e , said they w ou ld pu t as ide the e n t i re Social S ecu r ity su rp lu s for d e b t r e d u c t io n . They also won a letter of praise for their approach to Social Security and M e d ic a re f ro m th e A m e r ic a n Association for Retired Persons, the n a t i o n ’s l a rg e s t advocacy group for sen ior citizens.

Green Peace Sues Nature for Environmental BrutalityGreen Peace, a pro-environm ent sp e ­

cial in terest group, recently initiated a class action lawsuit in a federal district court. The defendant? Nature.

Jeff Langan

Green Peace accuses Nature of engag­ing in activity harmful to the environ­ment. Also indited in the suit a re ca rn i­vores, such as bears and eagles, th a t eat endangered species for a living. Green Peace has not yet decided w hethe r to include evolutionary biologists as one of the defendants. They obviously do d a m ­age to the environm ent by p ropagating ideas th a t some species have to die out and tha t only the Fittest will survive.

A represen ta tive from Green Peace explained to me the reasons for this lawsuit. “For many y ea rs ,” she said, “we thought people w ere the problem.People reproduce in large quantities requiring the development of farms, cities, factories and all other sorts of things and activities th a t harm the envi­ronment. The species homo sa p ien s was simply taking up too m any of the e a r th ’s precious resources. And they still do, don’t get me wrong. Hum ans a re in gen ­eral a ro tten lot. In addition to harm ing the environment, they don ’t build enough coffee houses, except in Seattle where there a re three on every corner, and they kill animals.

“But we began thinking tha t hum ans are not the only problem; we have a problem with Nature as well. We did a little research and the results were incredible. Our research shows that Nature and her children are a m uch

bigger problem than hum ans could ever be.

“We found for example, tha t billions of gallons of oil seep into the ocean from the floor of the ocean every day, and this is not from oil drilling. It literally comes right up. And Nature does no th ­ing to stop it. We also learned that the ea r th itself emits billions of harmful tox­ins into the a tm osphere every year. Glaciers have destroyed whole mountain ranges. Rain and floods cause signifi­can t erosion of good farmland. Floods destroy beautiful environm ental p re ­serves. The list is endless: tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes , floods, Tsunamis, volcanoes. They all destroy the environment. It’s a w onder th e re ’s anything left. What does Nature think sh e ’s doing to the environm ent? But it has to be stopped, and we, as the defenders of the environment, are going to stop it.

“We even found tha t trees, yes trees, help create smog. Have you ever seen the Blue Ridge Mountains? Do you know w hat makes them blue? Harmful toxins the trees emit into the atmosphere . Those sam e toxins create smog.

“Then we looked at the behavior of animals, and we found it ju s t despica­ble. They do n ’t know how to respect one another. Many of them are just ca n ­nibals, and they have no table m anners. A few years ago, we tried re-introducing eagles back into Milwaukee, their n a tu r ­al habitat until German immigrants went and built a city there. Everything was going along fine until the eagles decided to kill and ea t pigeons in front of secretaries, adm inis tra tors and s tu ­dents on the mall of an inner-city ca m ­pus. Imagine the reaction w hen people had to ea t their lunches in front of eagles pulling ap a r t pigeons limb by limb.

“Animals don’t even have enough common sense to respect endangered species. We recently got salmon put on the endangered species list in

r

Washington, only to find out that eagles and an endangered species of bears kept trying to fish them out of the rivers. W hat’s an environmentalist or animal lover to do w hen an endangered bear s ta rts killing endangered salmon?

“The Declaration of Independence says that Nature guaran tees us certain rights. One of those has to be the right to a friendly environment. Nature, as you can clearly see, is not keeping up her par t of the contract. So w e’re suing, $1 million in psychological damage.The anti-tobacco crowd is behind us. They helped us see that if it w asn ’t for Nature, we would all live a lot longer.

“Ironically, and in a s trange move, creation scientists have come to the defense of the social Darwinians impli­cated in this suit. Most creation scien­tists, as you know, are card-carrying m em bers of the National Rifle Association. One of the NRA’s r ep rese n ­tatives explained to me their support of

the Darwinians in this instance.“We are all for shooting everything in

Nature. It doesn’t m atte r w hether an animal w as created by Nature or by N atu re’s God, we have a right to shoot it and to ea t it. We agree with the social Darwinians on this much, anim als have to die. So le t’s let bygones be bygones. We can all enjoy the p leasure of shoot­ing everything in Nature.

S tudent activists don’t know w hat to do. They love both Nature and the envi­ronment. Such a re the travails of our times.

Visiting Student Offers European

Gay DiscriminationI’ve been considering writing this le tter ever since I cam e to Notre

Dame in Ja n u a ry and s ta r ted read ing ab o u t the non-discrim ination clause debate in The Observer.

I have hesitated writing because I’m ju s t he re for one sem es te r as a vis­iting g ra d s tuden t from the Netherlands. I w as afraid th a t people would find my interference unjustified or pe rh a p s arrogan t. 1 u n d e rs ta n d and respect tha t a lot of people a re struggling with how to think ab o u t hom o­sexuality with rega rds to their religious beliefs. However, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to rea d all the colum ns and articles abou t this issue and rem ain quiet. I often find it ha rd to be in an environm ent th a t is so in to leran t tow ards m any of the people I hold dea r .

Over spring b reak I w en t hom e to A m ste rdam to see some of my close friends. I couldn’t help telling them abou t w ha t w as going on h e re in reg a rd s to the very fundam en ta l rights —- h u m a n rights — of gays and lesbians. Overall, the response was one of shock. One friend, a Roman Catholic, said, “How can the re even be a d eb a te on th a t i ssue?” He m ean t tha t such a deba te is as absu rd as deba ting w he the r it is acceptable to discriminate based on sex o r ethnicity.

Another close friend, who happens to be gay, said, “One w an ts to respect those people [who re ject the rights of gays and lesbians to live their lives the way they w an t to], but I c a n ’t. How can anybody still hold up such a view?” I w as touched by the fact tha t he said he should at least try to respect th e people who reject h im and deny him his r ight to be h im ­self. H e’s a n u rse in a m ental hospital in the south of th e Netherlands, a predominantly Catholic region, and he w orks w ith a lot of old a n d very religious people. Everybody takes him the way h e is, and th e re is no doubt th a t he has a r igh t to be himself. To be m ore explicit: They do not necessarily ju s t accept tha t he has this sexual orientation and th a t it is not “his choice,” m aking it sound like he has a disease! I hope people who talk a long these lines also acknowledge th a t it’s not my choice tha t I h a p ­pen to be a heterosexual.

No, they all know h e ’s living together with his boyfriend, and of course in the Netherlands all pa r tne rs , w h e th e r homosexual or heterosexual, are trea ted equally with regard to insurance, taxes, etc. For the last year and a half the re has been a legal par tne rsh ip available for gays and lesbians. The p rese n t governm ent will soon legalize m arr iages of gay an d lesbian couples, but until hom osexuals have exactly the sam e rights as heterosex­uals, th e re will still be discrimination.

A Belgian r e se a rch e r has found th a t children growing up with lesbian couples are generally having happier youths th a n children growing up in an average family. A friend back hom e is living toge ther with h e r female p a r tn e r and they are raising a child together . The university w here we both work is a religious institution, so, like h e re a t Notre Dame, ethical issues a re a high priority. And because of this priority, everybody is t r e a t ­ed equally there .

Some Americans, w hen 1 tell them I’m living in A m sterdam , reac t by screaming, “Oh no, th a t ’s like Sodom and G omorrah, isn’t it?” I couldn’t d isagree more. I certainly d o n ’t imagine Sodom and Gom orrah as being beautiful and friendly cities w h ere everybody has the legal r ight to equa l­ity regard less of their sexual p references.

On th e contrary, I find a p lace w here a gay professor feels he must leave simply because of his sexual p reference (The Observer, Tuesday, March 23), a much m ore frightening place. I would have imagined tha t there would be more public deba te abou t his decision to leave. But w ha t is the use of discussion w hen it is said tha t the issue of the non-discrim i­nation clause is settled for good?

La Alianza presents its Latin Expressions, ton

By MIKE VANEGASScene Editor

It’s a big issue on any campus, bu t on the Notre Dame cam pus, diver­sity an d m u lt icu l tu ra lism som etim es find them selves w ithou t a t ru e n iche. This w e e k e n d , h ow ever , the c a m p u s ca n enjoy a t l e a s t one opportunity to a t ta in a g rea te r sense of the American culture — a cul­ture th a t is distinctly heterogenous.

Tonight a t S tepan Center, La Alianza, Notre D am e’s Latino s tuden t organization, pu ts on its annua l variety show, Latin Expressions. The show is traditionally a forum to p resen t Latino a r t and Latino artists, but also extends itself to cover multiculturalism in general. This y ea r ’s show is as ambitious as any other cam pus event, as it looks to give the Notre Dame community a couple of hours of non-stop, real en te r ta in ­ment.

“Latin Expressions is a huge talent show where we try to involve not only the Latino s tudents on campus, bu t those in the com munity and also o ther ethnicities,” said Araceli Ramirez, social commissioner of La A l ia n z a a n d c o - c o o r d in a to r of p ro d u c t io n a n d log is t ic s fo r Lat in Expressions. “It is an expression of people’s talents in the ir cu l tu re .”

As the main ca lendar event for La Alianza, Latin Expressions and its p a r t ic ip a n ts hope to accom plish severa l goals th ro u g h o u t the night. Among them, fundraising is high on the list.

“It’s to raise cer ta in funds,” said Ramirez. “The m ain fund we try to ra ise is for a scholarsh ip for som eone in the South Bend com m unity who will at tend e i ther Holy Cross, Notre Dame or Saint M ary’s. W e’re a lso t ry in g to r a i s e m o n e y for H u r r ic a n e Mitch a n d th e C o lum bia Ear thquake Relief.”

The fundraising im portance of this y e a r ’s Latin Expressions is espe­cially prominent, since last y ea r ’s scholarship fell through.

Aside from the financial motivations behind Latin Expressions and La Alianza in general, the show has more humanistic objectives as well. The most pressing of these is education, though not the type of ed u c a­tion tha t most s tudents receive in the classroom.

“I consider it to be a time w here we a re given the opportunities, w e’re given our own day to pretty much express ourselves and show our ta l­en t s ,” sa id Denisse Garcia, who will r e a d A belardo Delgado’s poem, “Stupid America,” during the show. “W e’re trying to get it out into the community ... to show people that there is culture still a t Notre Dam e.”

Latin Expressions will include perform ances from a variety of groups, presenting such a r t forms as music, dance and poetry. G arcia’s read ing of “S tup id A m e r ic a ” looks to exh ib it som e of th e f ru s t r a t io n s th a t Latinos find in A m erica today.

‘“ S tupid A m e r ic a ’ is saying, ‘Open y o u r eyes a n d see w h a t ’s ou t th e re ,”’ noted Garcia.

W h a t’s out th e re is a lot, if one looks a t the schedu le for F r id a y ’s show. Divided into two segments, Latin Expressions will s ta r t the night

ERSESSIONSts annual variety show, might at Stepan Center

with South Bend’s Latino dance group Brown an d Proud, w hich will perform a swing dance. Brown and Proud will also initiate the second half of the night with a more traditional sa lsa dance.

The res t of the show will be sprinkled with individual singers, dance groups and poetry readings, including G arcia’s. An interesting variation on the schedule is the entry of a perform ance by the Filipino-American Student Organization [F.A.S.O.]. Gina Corpuz, 1998-1999 co-president of F.A.S.O., expressed her thoughts concerning the multicultural aspects of Latin Expressions.

“It’s basically a sharing of cultures ,” Corpuz said. “I hope tha t we can impart som e of our cu l tu re on the Latino com m unity h e re a t Notre Dame, and also, it’s so much fun ju s t to take p a r t in the perform ance and in Latin Expressions. It’s such a different a tm osphere ... the differ­ent music and the different people ... basically it’s a lot of fun.”

Just as any variety show on cam pus and beyond — think “Saturday Night Live ” or the Keenan Revue — Latin Expressions is indeed in tend­ed as ano ther way to have good, clean fun on the Notre Dame campus. Ultimately, Ramirez noted th a t Latin Expressions is for everyone.

“One of La Alianza’s main goals is to educate and unite, not only the Latinos on campus, bu t those outside Latinos in the Notre Dame com­munity,” she added. “Latin Expressions helps in doing this ... it gives you the tas te of Latino poetry, music and o ther forms of art.

“I know in the past, there a re many people outside of the Latino e th ­nicity who felt tha t they w e re n ’t being included, so one of the goals I have is to get th e m m ore involved and m ake th e m feel w e lcom ed ,” Ramirez said.

This perspective is shared by the perfo rm ers as well.“I would like for people to be more open about the different cultures

that are on cam pus,” said Garcia. “I know our population is very small as a far as the Latino community [is concerned], and I w an t o ther peo­ple, other Latino students, to know that although we are a small popula­tion, we still have a voice ... If we all could ju s t learn som ething about each other, th a t’d be g rea t .”

The show will end with M erenbanda and Ja im e O’Neil y su Orquestra, two w ell-known Latino b an d s from Chicago. As the m a in ac ts , they demonstrate to the entire community how Latinos across the nation are attempting to sha re the ir culture.

Latin Expressions, a s an ex tension of La Alianza a n d the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, hopes to capitalize on this combination of what is fun and w hat is educational, giving the Notre Dame campus, the South Bend community and hum anity in general en richm ent th a t ca n ­not be found elsewhere.

“The t ru th is i t ’s going to be an exciting shock — it’s gonna be so alive,” Ramirez said. “It will make you w an t to get up and dance, no matter if you can or c a n ’t. It’s just an exciting experience, and whoever goes will ju s t be glad tha t they did. I don ’t think they’ll get this a t any other time of the year .”

N e ith e r p la y e r h a d m ino r- league options left and neither fit in to th e c lu b ’s p la n s th is season.

In e x c h a n g e for N unna l ly , the Reds received right-hander Pat Flury, a 26-year-old pitch­e r w ho h a s bounced a r o u n d the m inors for six years . The White Sox gave up r igh t-han ­der Jake Meyer, who has spent two years in the minors.

N u n n a l ly , 27, k n e w th e r e w a s no p la c e fo r h im in a n a lready crowded outfield. He w a s p a s s e d by a s t h e R eds acqu ired Dmitri Young, Greg Vaughn, Mark Sweeney, Mike Cameron and Michael Tucker.

“I’m h a p p y I’m go ing to a place where I’ll have a chance to play,” Nunnally said.

The Reds c a r r ie d F ordyce, 28, on the m ajor league roster as a seldom-used third catcher in 1 9 9 7 b e c a u s e th e y w e r e afraid th e y ’d lose him if they t r i e d to s e n d h im to th e minors.

He’s a solid defensive catch­er who has never hit much. He batted .208 with one hom er in 47 g a m e s d u r i n g 1 9 9 7 a n d .253 with th ree h o m e rs in 57 g a m e s la s t s e a s o n a s Eddie Taubensec’s backup.

The Reds dec ided to c a r ry Taubensee and Brian Johnson as their two catchers this se a ­son , F o r d y c e n e v e r c o m ­plained about his lack of play­ing time — his biggest role the last two seasons w as catching ceremonial first pitches before hom e g am es — an d hopes to have a bigger role in Chicago.

According to two depositions re leased in the case, Lewis and t e a m m a t e A n d r e L a F l e u r failed a drug test while playing for the college team. They took i t a g a i n th e f o l lo w in g d a y , p a s s e d an d w e r e a l lo w e d to play.

Ripken Sr. dies at 63Associated Press

BALTIMORECal Ripken Sr., whose contri­

butions to the Baltimore Orioles ex tend well beyond fa the ring a n d tu to r in g one o f the bes t p la y e r s in th e h is to ry of the f r a n c h i s e , d ie d T h u r s d a y of lung cancer. He was 63.

Ripken died around 4:15 p.m. EST at Johns Hopkins Oncology C e n te r w i th h is fa m i ly by his beds ide . Ripken sp e n t 36 years in the Orioles o rganiza­tion as a p layer, scout, coach an d m a n a g e r . He also found t im e to r a i s e a f am ily t h a t included fu ture Hall of F am cr Cal Ripken Jr ., a s ta r with the Orioles since 1982, and former m a jo r l e a g u e in f i e ld e r Bill R ip k e n , w h o a lso p la y e d in Baltimore.

“We a lw a y s ta lk a b o u t the Oriole Way. Cal Ripken Sr. was t h e on e w h o in d o c t r i n a t e d every one of us who came in,” sa id B a l t im ore m a n a g e r Ray M il le r , w h o s e r v e d u n d e r Ripken as a pitching coach.

Ripken Sr. had leathered skin and a gruff voice, charac ter is ­tics a t least partially a t t r ibu t­able to the fact tha t he was a heavy smoker. Back in the days w h e n s m o k i n g on th e f ie ld w asn’t taboo, he often cupped a filterless cigarette in his palm while watching batting practice or in the dugout.

R ipken t a u g h t Cal and Bill about baseball while serving as a m ino r le ag u e m a n a g e r . He won 964 gam es in the minors and was 68-101 as m anager of the Orioles in 1987-88.

“Cal Sr. played a n important role in many of the successes of th e O r io le s . P la y e r s a t all levels of development benefited from his vast knowledge of the g a m e a n d h is t e a c h i n g skills,” th e n -g e n e ra l m anage r

R o la n d H e m o n d s a id a f t e r R ip k e n w a s r e l i e v e d o f h is duties as Baltimore’s third base coach in 1992.

Ripken Sr. was offered ano th ­e r job within the organization b u t in s te a d w e n t in to r e t i r e ­ment.

In 1987, Ripken Sr. becam e the first father ever to m anage two sons simultaneously in the majors. Cal was the midst of a m ajo r league reco rd consecu­tive g am es s t r e a k th a t w ould extend to 2,632 games. Bill was the Orioles’ second baseman.

Ripken Sr. was fired after the Orioles opened the 1988 season w i th s ix s t r a i g h t lo s s e s in w h a t w o u ld b e u l t i m a t e ly a record 21-game losing streak.

He eventually re turned to his old ro le a s th i r d - b a s e c o a c h a n d m a in ta in e d th e posit ion th r o u g h th e en d o f th e 1992 season.

“The Orioles have lost som e­on e w ho m e a n t a lo t to th is o r g a n iz a t io n for a very long time,” general m anage r Frank Wren said in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where the team is holding spring training.

Ripken Sr. began his ca re e r w ith the Orioles as a c a tc h e r with the te a m ’s Phoenix affili­a t e in 1 9 5 7 . He e n d e d h is undistinguished playing ca reer in 1964, having never reached the major leagues.

His 1 3 - p lu s y e a r s in th e B altim ore fa rm system is the lo n g e s t t e n u r e o f an y m in o r league m anager in Oriole histo­ry. During tha t time, Ripken Sr. worked odd jobs over the w in­te r because baseball didn’t pay him enough to support a family of six.

He often brought his boys to the ballpark but left most of the d e v e lo p m e n t o f th e f a m i ly ’s four children to th e ir m other , Vi.

“It w as just as if their father w as a t ruck d r ive r — he w as away from home a lot, and you j u s t h a d to live w i th i t , ” Vi Ripken said.

“I resen ted baseball for ta k ­ing a w a y my fa th e r , ” Cal J r . o n c e s a id . “ B a s e b a l l d i d n ’t allow him to spend much time with m e w hen I w as grow ing up.”

They m a d e up for lost t ime when Cal Jr. joined the team in 1981 and Bill come aboard in 1987.

At th e t im e, Cal Sr. d o w n ­p la y e d h is u n iq u e b a s e b a l l association with his boys. But he said it would be something he would look back a t fondly after retiring.

“We ju s t happen to be in the s a m e b u s i n e s s a t t h e s a m e p l a c e , ” Ripken sa id in 1992. “Maybe years from now, when I’m reflecting upon things in my r o c k in g c h a i r . I ’ll sm i le a b o u t all th i s . B u t fo r n o w they’re just a second basem an an d a s h o r ts to p on this ball - club.”

Cal Jr . , who left spring tra in ­ing on Tuesday to be with his father, viewed his father as the in sp i ra t io n for his in c re d ib le consecutive games streak.

When young Cal was 16, his d a d hooked a snow plow to a tractor in an effort to help clear the neighborhood. The trac tor stalled, and when Cal Sr. tried to get it going, a crank flew off and hit him in the forehead.

Cal Sr. pressed an oily rag to his head in an effort to stop the b leed ing while his sc a red son got him into the family car. But instead of driving to a hospital, Cal Sr. to ld h is so n to d r ive home. T here , Cal J r . w atched his dad put on some butterfly bandages , then saw him head back to the plow to finish the job.

Outdoor season opens at Tennessee, KentuckyBy WES JACOBSSports Writer_______________________________

Notre Dame w o m e n ’s tenn is te am k icks off an i m p o r t a n t weekend on Saturday, traveling to Tennessee in only its second outdoor match of the season, and facing Kentucky on Sunday.

Tennessee and Kentucky are in the top 20, ranked No. 12 and 18, respectively, and will give the

Ir ish a g r e a t o p p o r tu n i ty to im p ro v e th e i r c u r r e n t No. 14 ranking.

“These two m atches are very big for us. Both teams have had good years a l ready ,” said Irish h e a d c o a c h J a y L o u d e rb a c k . “W inning bo th of these gam es will h e lp o u r r a n k in g , j u s t because it will be two more top 20 wins.”

The Irish will no t rece ive a

warm welcome when they reach Knoxville. However, as opposed to past meetings between the two teams, the Volunteers will have the pressure on them this year, entering the dual-meet with the h ighe r rank ing . The Irish will take a different approach to this match, needing to prove that they are the better team.

“ I t ’s good for us t h a t [Tennessee] a re ranked higher

th a n us. U su a l ly t h e y ’r e the underdogs, but this year there is no p r e s s u r e on u s , ” sa id Louderback.

For Tennessee, No. 1 freshman Agnes Wilski will lead the charge, followed by fre shm an c o u n te r ­p a r t s A lison O jeda an d D an a Noel. The final three singles play­ers are slated to be senior Emily Woodside, junior Candy Reid, and freshman Mylin Parks.

W ith fou r f r e s h m a n s in g le s players for the Vols, Notre Dame hopes to use their experience and senior leadership to pull out some of the big match wins.

All-American senior Jen Hall and sophom ore Michelle Dasso, coming off her 60th ca reer win, will m a k e s u r e t h a t th e focus r e m a in s for th e Irish . M arisa Velasco, recently plagued by sick­ness, should be back in full form, as will freshmen Becky Varnum, Kelly Zalinski, and Kim Guy, who recently jum ped into the top six singles players.

“We have a really deep team this year ,” said Guy. “And it’s nice for us to have the ability to play different players.”

Sunday will be another big day for the Irish, as they hope to com­plete the ir w eekend with a 2-0 rec o rd . K entucky will p r e s e n t numerous match-up problems for N o tre D am e s in g le s p la y e r s , though.

“K e n tu c k y is a ve ry s t r o n g t e a m , e s p e c ia l ly t h e i r No. 2 th rough 5 singles players,” said L o u d e r b a c k . “T h e i r d o u b le s teams also have a lot of depth.”

L e a d in g th e c h a r g e fo r th e W ildca ts a r e J u n io r M asom eh Em am i and Christy Sigurski, a s e n io r . S e n io r Kelly B row n , sophom ores Brooke Skeen and Shawn Stafford will also look for victories against the strong Irish squad.

With two wins this w eekend, the Irish will move to an impres­sive 1 3 -5 r e c o r d , a n d will improve their chances of b reak­ing into the nation’s top ten. As the Big East and NCAA to u rn a ­m ents creep closer, Louderback and his team are looking for all the wins they can get.

Irish runners travel to Stanford, Purdue InvitationalsBy BRIAN BOBBINSSports Writer

The N otre D am e m e n ’s and wom en’s track and field team s are looking to get the outdoor season s tarted on the right foot.

The first weekend of the ou t­door season will find the team sp l i t a s s o m e m e m b e r s will c o m p e te in s u n n y C a l i fo rn ia while o thers rem ain in Indiana running at Purdue.

Several select m embers of the team will go to Palo Alto for the Stanford Invitational. This meet will be the proving grounds for many of Notre Dame’s distance e l i te as w e l l a s a few o t h e r members of the team.

Team m em bers such as Ryan Shay, A n to n io A rc e , J o A n n a Deeter and Allison Kleemer will headline the list. Accompanied by Liz Grow, Terry Wray, Nadia Schmiedt and Chris Cochran in the sprints, Notre Dame looks to put on a strong running perfor­mance. Additional m em bers to watch include Jay Hofner, Dore DeBartolo and Matt Thompson in the throws.

“Some kids can qualify for the NCAAs at Stanford, m any have a leg itim ate s h o t ,” sa id coach Joe Piane.

Piane recognized tha t the dis­tance ru n n e rs a re not the only athletes with an opportunity to shine. “It is also a good meet in terms of sprints and throws,” he said.

The magnitude of the Stanford Invitational alone is intimidating without taking into account the fine competition and the transi­

t io n f ro m in d o o r to o u td o o r tracks.

“Stanford is unscored but it is a g igan tic m e e t , ” P iane sa id , “for example there will be 100 participants in the 5000 meters alone.”

The a th le t e s p r e p a re d with rigorous training schedules dur­ing spring break.

Ryan Shay will lead the team in the 10,000 m eters despite a slight hip flexor injury just one week ago, an injury he a t tr ibu t­es to e x t ra t ra in in g in th e off weeks.

“Over sp r in g b re a k 1 up p ed my training and that resulted in the injury since I w as on some hillier te rra in ,” he said.

Shay refused to let the injury o r an y th in g else s ta n d in his way as he searches for an NCAA bid. “I am not as nervous as on a shorter distance since there is enough time to make up for my mistakes,” he said.

Other runners highlighting the m e n ’s roster include Arce, Ryan Maxwell, Phil Mishka and Tim Klober.

Returning to the lineup will be Chris Cochran, who had earlier battled a hamstring injury.

“My ham string has been feel­ing good for the last month and is not a concern a n y m o re ,” he said. Cochran highlighted some o f the t r a n s i t io n s to be m a d e from the indoor to outdoor sea­sons.

Highlighting the w om en’s side of the roster are All-Americans J o A n n a D e e te r a n d A ll ison Kleemer.

Stickwomen to take on Buckeyes

By GENE BRTALIKSports Writer

A fter com ing off th e i r f irs t loss of the season against 19th ranked Syracuse on Tuesday, th e w o m e n ’s l a c r o s s e t e a m looks to rebound a t home this w e e k e n d a g a in s t Ohio S ta te and Connecticut.

Ohio State’s team comes into Friday’s 4 p.m. gam e with a 3-3 record and a re com ing off an 11-6 loss to Boston University. T h e B u c k e y e s a r e le d by Celeste C ianfran i and M egan Mirick, who lead the t e a m in goals with 11 and 10, resp e c­tively.

F o r th e p as t tw o y e a r s the Irish played the Buckeyes once e a c h s e a s o n , s p l i t t i n g th e games. Last year the Irish used three straight goals by curren t sophom ore M aura Doyle in a come-from-behind 10-9 victory.

“L ast y e a r ’s g a m e w a s the m o s t e x c i t i n g g a m e I h a v e played in so far ,” said captain Kerry Callahan, “It was the first big come-from-behind win for the program .”

As the Irish have played Ohio S ta te a l l t h r e e y e a r s , b o th t e a m s b a s ic a l ly k n o w e a c h other’s style of play.

“They are the closest thing to a r iv a l ry t h a t w e h a v e , a n d after a close win last yea r we w o u ld like to b e a t th e m by more this year ,” said Callahan.

On Sunday at 2 p.m., the Irish

will take on the Huskies, who wall be coming fresh off a game against Ohio State on Saturday.

The Huskies, led by Pam ela Lowie and her 12 goals, come in to t h e g a m e w ith a 1-2 record. Connecticut will look to Jennifer Schiavone to stop the onslaught of Irish shots.

Last year, the game was can­celed due to inclement weather.

Although the Irish lost to the Orangewom en on Tuesday, all was not lost. Both team s were fairly equal statistically and the second half was played evenly a s e a c h t e a m s c o r e d e ig h t goals.

The team will try to take the positives from the second half and use them in this game.

“We w ere d isappointed tha t we d id n ’t play a be t te r game, but we are focusing on coming out ready and building an early lead. We need two good halves of solid play if we want to win,” s ta ted Callahan. “Our defense a n d m id - f ie ld h a v e p la y e d ex t re m e ly h a rd an d we need the sam e level of intensity this w eekend.”

While the team looks to start a n e w w in n in g s t r e a k th is w eekend other streaks are still going as Lael O’S h au g h n essy has scored five goals in each of the first four games. The main reason for h e r success is tha t she has been making good deci­sions, tak ing good shots , and finishing off her plays.

LOS ANGELES Darryl S traw berry and a t to r ­

Shapiro sued S traw berry last J u n e in Los A ngeles S u p e r io r Court, claiming he had failed to pay about $100,000 in fees for a c o n t r a c t s e t t l e m e n t S h a p i r o negotiated with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1994.

The resolution was announced in a p r e s s re le a s e from John Morris, Strawberry’s attorney in New York, which said in part: “Mr. Shapiro provided valuable legal services to Mr. Strawberry a t a t im e c r u c i a l to Mr.

Irish to take part in Robinson Classic

Special to The Observer

N o tr e D am e a n d th e University of Kansas will face o f f in th e s e c o n d E d d ie Robinson Football Classic, as those two teams open the 1999 c o l le g e f o o tb a l l c a m p a ig n A u g u s t 28 in N o tre D am e Stadium.

T he g am e will b e te levised nationally by NBC Sports, with kick off at 2:30 p.m.

The Eddie Robinson Football C la ss ic b e n e f i t s th e E d d ie Robinson Foundation and hon­o r s th e f o r m e r G r a m b l in g coach who retired following the ‘97 se a so n a f te r 55 y e a r s in tha t role.

He w a s i n d u c t e d in to th e National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in 1998. Robinson finished with a c a r e e r m a r k o f 4 0 8 - 1 6 5 -1 5 ( .707) an d w on m o re g a m e s than any coach in college foot­ball history.

Proceeds from the gam e will enable the Foundation to offer scholarships each year to high school seniors and eighth-grade s tuden ts , in addition to o ther scholarships aw a rd e d directly to accredited universities.

Notre Dam e’s appearance in th e E d d ie R o b in so n C lass ic m arks its second in one of the exempt, preseason games sanc­tioned by the NCAA. The Irish defeated Virginia 36-13 in 1989 in the Kickoff Classic played at G ia n t s S ta d iu m in E as t Rutherford, N.J.

N o t re D a m e p r e v io u s ly played 12 regular-season con­tes ts in 1991 and 1997 when the Irish finished the reg u la r s e a s o n in H o n o lu lu a g a in s t Hawaii.

1999 will m ark only the sec­

ond t im e N o tre D a m e h a s p layed seven hom e g a m e s in Notre Dame Stadium. The Irish also did tha t in 1988 when they finished 12-0 and were consen­sus national champions.

The game will be played four days after the University begins classes on August 24. The Irish will b e g in fall p r a c t i c e on August 8.

N o tre D am e ho lds a 3-1-1 series edge over Kansas, with each of the last three meetings t a k in g p la c e a t N o tre D am e Stadium.

K a n s a s w on 2 4 -5 in Lawrence, Kan., in 1904 and tied th e Ir ish 0-0 in 1933 in N o tre D am e S ta d iu m . N o tre D ame’s victories were by scores of 24-6 in 1932 (in Lawrence), 28-7 in 1935 and 52-0 in 1938 (both in Notre Dame Stadium).

This marks the second of four straight seasons the Irish face at least one Big 12 Conference team, following the Irish victory in ‘98 over Baylor N and includ­ing a 1 9 9 9 g a m e w ith O k la h o m a (Oct. 2 a t N o tre Dame Stadium) plus two dates with Texas A&M (Sept. 2, 2000 at N otre D am e an d Nov. 10, 2001 at College Station).

The Irish defeated Texas in both ‘95 and ‘96 seasons and defeated Texas A&M in Cotton Bowl match-ups following the ‘92 a n d ‘93 s e a s o n s . N o tre Dame also played Colorado in the F iesta Bowl following the ‘94 season.

C oach T e r r y A l l e n ’s Jayhaw ks re tu rn 14 re g u la rs from a team that finished 4-7 in ‘98, while Bob Davie welcomes 11 r e t u r n i n g s t a r t e r s p lu s a placekicker from his 9-3 squad that played in the Gator Bowl after the ‘98 campaign.
