After knocking off No. 13 seed Mt. Vernon Nazarene (Ohio) and No. 4 seed Indiana Tech, Willamette'smen's basketball team ended their season with a 69-64 loss to tournament host Northwest Nazarene. The loss ended their quest for a second national title in three years, and has left a lot of questions unanswered. "What if ' the referees had called two or three clear fouls for us? "What if" Northwest Nazarene's home crowd hadn't outnumbered ours by over 1 50 to 1 ? "What if Northwest Nazarene hadn't been the tourna- ment host? "What if. . .?

Senior Lance Richards had a career high with 23 points and 12 rebounds, helping Willamette to its 96-69 victory. Mt.

Class is like a "big, un unruly ruly machine," says Giscombe, "it makes its own music as it goes." Giscombe is the third candidate to visit campus for a two-day inter interview view process in pursuit of the Hallie Brown-Ford Chair in Literature which begins next fall. He is interested in creative writ writing; ing; specifically, creative writing as a public activity. The two main venues to bring creative writing into the public, according to Giscombe, are public readings and radio. In terms of radio he currently has a program at Illinois State Uni University versity and hopes the possibility exists of establishing a show in Sa Salem lem if he is selected for the position. He termed it "poetry radio" in which readings take place over the air waves. Giscombe's goals include expanding the show so it takes on the aura of a talk show about writ writing ing and other art forms. The other method occurs through public readings. Giscombe believes that writers and universi universities ties must act as a "resistance to the corporate culture." His ideas rest in his perception that the world sup supports ports this "corporate culture" which in a sense stifles creativity. He works out of the tradition of a thwarting narrative.

Strong performances by the sophomore and freshman classes added to the drama of the event. The sophomore class, which fought low participation, was only 3.5 points behind first place, and the freshmen defied the performances of past frsshman classes with their high r.iraber of participants, energy and class spirit. Freshmen also waved their arms in their shooting star for formation, mation, breaking the unwritten tra tradition dition that seniors are the only ones to consciously break Glee rules. ki In their four formations, the jun juniors iors defined the subtheme "'Cause there's no place like home," in the context of Oregon as home.

After moving half of the Glee risers from Cone Fieldhouse back t?the stadium, all had calluses from their work and were only half awake after hosting Freshman Glee the night before. Yet Kendall Haynes, Mark Martin, Tara Wilson, Kiley Simmons and Tyler Peterson had a lot to share about their experience. The first topic they jumped to was their thoughts during the show. "It was like living a dream," Wilson reflected. "Once the intro started, it was the neatest feeling I've ever had. It was just amazing." All the veralls felt the same shock that the show was actually happening after a horse and covered wagon heading west, the state capitol building in including cluding the gold pioneer, the Earth, and in their final formation, march marching ing in the rain. The final formation, in which red and gold umbrellas tried to dodge raindrops, was an audience favorite. The juniors' victory was a cul culmination mination of three years of hard work, said Junior Class Manager Ken Ray, who worked with other junior class managers Heather Beebe, Gabrielle Byrd, Kent Campbell and Stephanie Hamrick. Ray noted that the solid foundation laid down in the last three years of strong Glee perfor performances mances gave the junior class the technique, spirit and dedication to emerge victorious this year. "It's not something that hap happened pened this year. . . this has been a long time coming," said Ray, not noting ing how he wished the past year's class managers could have been there to see how well their j,-ast efforts paid off. Ray also led the success of his class to the dedi dedication cation of its participants, some cf whom never missed r practice.

When she watched each class performing, Simmons remembered thinking, "It made it all worth it just to know that they were having a good time with it and so were we. Peterson added, "I think the most rewarding part for me was during intermission when I watched everyone in the audience stand up and start talking, laughing and enjoying themselves." Peterson's role in Glee was to prepare the technical aspects of the show. Thanks to his work, "it wasn't just a rinky dink student produc production," tion," Martin concluded. Glee rules and traditions were upkept by Simmons. Martin, who worked with the financial aspects of Freshman Glee, was quickly renamed Budget Boy.

According to Ray, the junior class' biggest concern was the sophomore class. The classes were in tight competition throughout the week, both battling the same struggles with low participation, and both putting together quality per performances formances despite that fact. The sophomore class formations of a Coke can, the Japanese flag, which rolled up into the American flag, and the world, demonstrated the global theme of the class. In total, only 37 students, in including cluding TIUA students, marched for the sophomores. Like the jun juniors, iors, sophomore class managers credited the dedication of their marchers, both Willamette and Off-campus manager Haynes took care of media coverage by having a Glee practice broadcast on televi television. sion. He also set up the dedication to Dr. and Mrs. Trueblood, found Glee judges and sent mailings to parents and alumni. Now, together in reflection, the five overalls realized they had made a big difference in Glee. "I really like the fact that the competition aspect is there now in a big way. I don't know how many time I heard, 'God, we were robbed. . . we're gonna kick butt next year"' Haynes said, recognizing people's interest in future Glees. For the first time in several years, Freshman Glee raised a significant amount of money for ASWU. Peterson was told not to hope for more than $300, but through ticket sales they made over $800. When they began discussing the TIUA students, fui pulling the sophomore class to near victory. The freshman class, which came in third wira 'V3.75 points, based its song and formations around the theme of transitions, especially the transition of leaving home for Willamette. Their formations in included cluded a shooting star, a house and a smile. The freshman startled most on onlookers lookers by waving their hands dur during ing their shooting star formation, a rule violation which cost them eight points. They made the decision to do so halfway through the week, when they decided that the forma formation, tion, without the waves, wasn't con convincing vincing enough. Overall, they were happy with the result. "The best part was seeing the seniors' faces when we put up our hands," said Freshman Class Manager Asha Jennings. The freshman class was also extremely dedicated, as evidenced by their turnout of 45 students. first time rules, which a lot of people had complained about, the group pretty much agreed on one thing. "Whether they followed the rules or not, they all had a lot of fun. In my opinion, the rules should stay the same, but ycu don't have to follow them," noted Peterson. Their point was that the fun sometimes comes in break breaking ing the rules, which the senior class is infamous for doing. When recalling their six months of work to get ready for the Glee event, the five nearly sighed simul simultaneously. taneously. "I remember in October some woman was telling me she was in the Fishbowl when we were having one of our first meetings. . . She told me she remembered think thinking, ing, 'God, I admire those guys. They don't know what they're getting into,'" said Peterson. Immediately Simmons responded, "It's the truth." The next months grew steadily The seniors, who came in fourth with 30.25 points, maintained the precedent set by last year's.senior class of "throwing" the competition by breaking rules which forbid changing shirts, hand gestures and using props to liven the perfor performance. mance. Out of the 80.25 joints that the seniors earned, 50 were lost for rules violations. Class manager Kaley Scott confirmed that the se seniors niors had planned on breaking the rules all along, although the spe specific cific ways of breaking rules to im improve prove the aesthetics of their forma formations tions came throughout the week. Originally, one of the forma formations tions was going to spell out "WU" to represent their college years, but they changed the formation mid midway way through the week to spell out "RAM," the popular sports bar across the street from Willamette. Seniors waded the Mill Stream Monday morning just like they did three years ago as freshmen, when they finished in fourth place as well. in months busier. Preparations continued up to the last day: three of the manag managers ers finalized their introduction scripts in the early hours of Glee morning. What the five freshmen gained as overalls was obvious in the way they talked about each other. After spending six months with only four others toplan an event, they seemed to form a strong bond. "There was so much work involved. A lot of times we were really uncertain, but I guarantee I wouldn't have traded it for anything." "I feel like this is just the begin beginning ning for Glee," concluded Haynes, who got a response from Peterson: "Next year you get to do the risers all by yourself." As the interview ended, there were still half the risers to fit back into the storage closet for another year.

The goals which the committee formulated revolve around "getting majors to experience their discipline in context" and "enhancing skills including writing, research, oral, and visual," according to their report to the Working Group.

'The great text list would be multi-disciplined and include classic and modern texts, critical texts, and both Western and non-Western texts," explains DeLeonibus. The model itself is based on both the great texts concept and general theme, and extends over four years. The entire program would re require quire students to complete eight cred credits its total of the general education re requirements. quirements.

Having done their primary read reading, ing, freshmen will move into the sec second ond semester course focusing on re research. search. This course will retain the same theme as the last, but, as DeLeonibus explains, will require students to take "an objective approach to the text" and work toward compiling an anno annotated tated bibliography as well as a large research paper. The courses in a cluster will be organized into introductory and higher level courses. During their sophomore year, students will be re required quired to take two classes from the introductory level. Students would take these courses from two different clusters, so they could sample various themes before focusing their interest on one cluster for the next two years. During their junior and senior years, students would take one higher level course credit in their cluster each semester. Second semester se seniors niors would fulfill their last cluster credit with a "capstone experience." The capstone experience would most likely consist of a service learn learning ing or off-campus experience. "You've acquired a certain gen general eral knowledge and you want to go into the community and try see how this knowledge applies," DeLeonibus explained. Experiences would be tailored to the theme of the studied cluster, and could be done in groups if necessary. The actual experience would be con concluded cluded with a final paper. ters courses not only by themes, but also by year. "The program would proceed by themes," says DeLeonibus. Each year students would be required to choose two credits to take in general education requirements from a group of courses which all relate to a certain theme. For example, freshman courses could all relate to a world society theme, sophomore courses to the planet, and junior courses to the cre creative ative spirit. The capstone project idea is again used for the senior year general edu education cation requirement in this model. The focus of a capstone project can be on any of the issues focused on in the previous years, and would most likely include service learning or off-campus study. Most of these proposed reforms center around mak making ing the general education require requirements ments relate more closely to a student's major area of study, both in subject and in organization. The majors programs themselves have been effected little by any of the committee's proposals. In fact, ac according cording to DeLeonibus, "the majors are basically there to stay." t- it- .

Glee is pa pathetic, thetic, silly, and acolossal waste of time. In short, Glee's time in the sun ay. a worthwhile tradition here at Willamette University has passed. Don't get me wrong -1 am not saying that Glee has always sucked - I firmly believe that it is a recent phenomenon. When I was a freshman, Glee was still pretty lame, but Blue Monday rocked, and it is for this reason that Glee and Blue Monday need to be dealt with separately. I think most people would agree that Glee in and of itself sucks pretty bad. Putting on Glee is a thinly disguised excuse to have a Blue Monday. It seems to this author that any kind of close analysis of what goes on during Glee will quickly reveal that the whole damn thing is arcane as hell. I just find it hard to believe thatso many people sheep can still get into asong and marching competition. The Ameri American can television viewing pub public lic axed Star Search, and I think we should show metallic g-T sense about Glee. Y o u should talk to some of the people who are doing Glee to get a good idea of why this still goes on. There are the ASWU activity freaks who thrive on lame-ass activities, and there are the music people look looking ing for a nanosecond in the spot spotlight light - but even these are far more justified than the idiot who claims: "My roommate is in involved volved and she got me to do it." Get a spine, eh? On top of all that there are the TIUA students who haven't been here' long enough to know better, and sure enough, they get sucked in. Blue Monday, however, is a Holy Day. You see, while I firmly believe in the abolishment of Glee, I think that something should remain in its place in or order der to justify Blue Monday. ...I must comment on the digression of Blue Monday activities. Sure, almost everyone who loses walks in the Mill Stream, and that's really nice and all, but I wanna see some bets gettin' paid off, and I wanna see people ma kin' fools out of themselves. It is here that I must com comment ment on the digression of Blue Monday activities. Sure, almost everyone who loses walks in the The Clap John Cable Mill Stream, and that's really nice and all, but I wanna see some crazy-go-funky bets getti n' paid off, and I wanna see people makin' fools out of themselves. (Who doesn't?) It seems quite obvious to this author that the fervor for Blue Monday is gone. It's a stinkin' holiday, and I think that all you repressed freaks should have a good time for once in your lives and get stupid on Blue Monday! Now, this column comes out after the festivities, but for those of you who are under underclassmen, classmen, take this as a lesson and pass the wis wisdom dom on. Bring back the crazy liability-ridden days of Blue Monday.

VLETTERS ASWU fax machine information inaccurate Dear Editor, I am concerned that the student body was not well informed by James Fujita in an article he wrote concerning the ASWU fax machine (in last Friday ' s edition), and I would like to set the record straight on a few matters. I find it regrettable that Mr. Fujita did not contact me re regarding garding this article beforehand, and many of these points could have been clarified without this letter. First off, the idea of acquiring a fax machine was the brainchild of Greg Koger, the then-ASWU Trea Treasurer, surer, not myself. An ad hoc com committee mittee was formed and I, not Greg, was the elected to be chair of the committee. After we had worked out many of the details, we pre presented sented a proposal to Finance Board and Senate last spring and had it approved. Difficulties were encountered in determining adequate security measures to be taken and in defin defining ing some of the finer details of the responsibilities of ASWU, the Stu Student dent Activities office, and the UC desk. An idea was also mentioned to me earlier this year of consolidat consolidating ing many of ASWU's services, in including cluding the fax machine, in the ASWU office and away from the UC desk. I do not know what the current status of these plans might be and am hesitant toinstall the fax -macnine at tne ut desk it such plans are still in question. I admit that the fax machine has not taken a high priority this semes semester. ter. It is still my sincere hope that tfTese issues can be addressed and action taken as soon as is possible. I urge anyone to contact me if they are concerned about this. Ken Ray Junior Greiner thanked for her hard work, dedication Dear Editor, Joyce Greiner, Director of Multicultural Affairs, is leaving Willamette at the end of this aca academic demic year, and I cannot let her depart without publicly thanking her for the dedication, persistence and integrity with which she has served the Willamette community. Although her stated job responsi responsibilities bilities were defined in terms of specific student populations, I be believe lieve Joyce's contributions have made this a better, more humane place to live, study and work for all of us. Edward 0. Wilson, a professor and museum curator at Harvard University recently wrote: "...I can say I have been blessed with bril brilliant liant enemies. They made me suffer (after all, they were enemies), but I owe them a great debt, because they redoubled my energies and drove me in new directions. We need such people in our creative lives. As John Stuart Mill once put it, both teach teachers ers and learners fall asleep at their posts when there is no enemy in the field." Intolerance, bigotry, ignorance and hate are brilliant enemies. But Joyce never slept. Furthermore, she to succeed her is as vigilant. Susan J. Rauch.

Originally, this let letter ter was to be in regards to all the criticism I have received about not participating. But that particular topic was covered in a letter several issues ago ("ASWU events not com compulsory"). pulsory"). The one thread of discussion that really bothers me, however, is all the people complaining about professors who schedule papers or exams during Glee week. Their ar argument gument is that Glee is a Willamette tradition (our 'homecoming,' if you will), and that it is announced far in advance, so professors should schedule around it. They don' t think it's fair to have to study or write a paper while they're busy learning songs and marches. People are for forgetting getting the real reason we all come here in the first place: academics. As fun as school is, we're here to go to classes, learn stuff, and get a degree.

The skits, which were held Fri Friday day night in Smith Auditorium, were done with the help of around 20 seniors. They opened with a parody of President Jerry Hudson delivering a speech to the incoming class of 1932, which pointed out that al although though interesting, the welcoming to Willamette could be more excit exciting ing than the same story about Emily York and her graduation. A few of the other more creative skits included the Health Center skit, the "Function application and Anita Stacey" skit and the "Blood Wedding" skit. Seniors also explained the mean meaning ing behind the Teddy Ruxpin bear which was hanging in Smith during the skits and another Teddy Ruxpin flying across the stage during the performance. In addition, seniors critiqued the three other classes' Glee songs, making fun of the words. No performance captured the 1 "X Andrea Reese, Liz Behrend and Sam Iverson perform a skit portraying The Storyteer Friday night at Senior Skits. awards continue tradition spirit of Senior Skits, however, bet better ter than the story of Tasurinchi and Kamagarini disguised as a wasp. Tina Otto, Andrea Reese and Liz Behrend were the wasps with Sam Iverson portraying the deformed Tasurinichi. This was the skit that marked the changing of the guard for World Views literature, as Willamette ends a four year period and changes the World Views focus irom South Arai'ca to the Mid Mid-East East next year. This skit, read by Kevin Christiansen word-for-word from Mario Vargas Llosa's Storyteller, was acted out very vividly by the actors involved. Every undergradu undergraduate ate student in the audience had once had to read the book for their World Views class. A lot of the skits were funny, but too true to laugh about, like the classroom scene in which a student was told by another student to "shut. . . up!" There was also a lot of potential to the running series of skits about the alcohol policy. The seniors pointed out the fact that not more than five years ago, full kegs of beer were allowed on campus, and to today, day, people have trouble gaining entrance into their own parties.

Most students find it hard to function early in the morning, but regardless of the time on a clock, there is something about Buck Garrett that has his students always looking forward to his classes. "I think that the most appealing thing is that it is different," said freshman Ben Robinson, who is al always ways anxious to attend Garrett's class. "We get to enjoy a lot of pieces of literature that we wouldn't in other classes. And above all, " (Garrett) creates an atmosphere of enthusiasm." Garrett has been a little differ different ent in his methods since he was born over two decades ago in Danville, Virginia. An example of his uniqueness is how he got his name. His birth certificate read Mark Drew Garrett, but when he was young, his friends, for some un unknown known reason, called him Buckethead. The name Buck has stuck ever since. After spending his childhood in Virginia, he enrolled at the Univer University sity of North Carolina, where he received bis Bachelors of English, and once bowled with Michael Jor Jordan. dan.

Rarely will, you hear a lecture, in fact he only occasionally speaks for over 20 minutes at a time. Everyone is al always ways involved, which is one of the major reasons for the popularity of his classes. "For me, it's a two-way street," said Garrett of his philosophy on keeping students involved. "I just try to do things I care about and hope others care about it. I'm al always ways glad to be there." Garrett, who looks a little like the late Buddy Holly, has a way of making the class material familiar to students' lives, instead of mak making ing the students adapt to the mate material. rial.

By building these relationships, Sprocket offers trip through tranquility Hootie rocked the house. The group got applause comparable to that of Toad. Hootie and the Blowfish are a lot like Toad but with an added blues kick. Their deep base sound passed through the bodies of the audience as though it were a funda fundamental mental aspect of living. Hootie himself nearly sang through the mouth of Pearl Jam's lead Eddie Vedder, giving a full, rich mass to their sounds. The Blow Blowfish fish only enriched the show. As soon as Toad the Wet Sprocket arrived, I knew I had come to the right place for cool tunes. There was definitely a magic air in the theater which magnified the greatness of Todd, Glen, Dean and Randy's sounds. The acoustics in the hall took Toad's sky-high quality to heav heavenly enly heights, giving the audience a major dose of freedom and tran tranquillity. quillity. Their beat and rhythms were something to yell out about because, they were such a release for the crowd. Usually when soune from con concerts certs passes into my eers. ;?'s either too loud or too soft. At this show, just the right amount of Toad sound flew off the stage. This sound went straight to my bones as though I were feeling more Professor Buck Garrett offers his Garrett feels that students will per perform form better in his classes. "People can be more confident in class and not worry about what others think," he said. Garrett, who resides in South Southeast east Portland, has a passion for music, and in the area around where he lives can find aspiring musicians on almost every corner. His love for music is also something that ap appeals peals to his students. He constantly uses songs to go along with a class' literature, just so his students can further understand the story. "I think it's like something we all have in common," said Garrett of his musical nature, "It's a lan language guage I think I share with most kids in class." Recently, blues singer Kelly Joe Phelps came to Willamette to en enlighten lighten the community with what Garrett calls "heart felt music." Garrett was instrumental in bring bringing ing Phelps to car-ip'.-s, after he be- in Portland. Garrett felt that despite music being another way to express oneself, it also can relax and help escape the quick pace of life. He hopes to bring more local musicians to campus, not only to teach people to express themselves, but also to entertain. He expressed and more of myself with each beat of Randy's drums. The visual show was fantastic, as well. The first thing I noticed was the laid-back appearance. Toad wore the simple jeansshirt combo and Todd, the lead singer, went on stage barefoot, which to me reflects the honest of their songs. In a bizarre yet impressive trick of the lights, a glowing aura formed around Todd, turning him into a purple spiritual being for two songs. With each change in mood came a different set of emotional colors to fill the theater. Almost half of Toad's tunes were from their newest album Dulcinea, a collection of the finest sounds around, yet the band played songs from each of its four albums. Every one of the 19 songs they played gave me something to leave the theater with: a better feeling of myself. From the serious protest of seual harassment in "Hold Her Down" on the album Fear to the stor.er nothingness in "Reincarna "Reincarnation tion Song" on Dulcinea, from the chromatic rhythms in "Know Me" on the album Bread and Circus to the frantic energy release in "Fall Down," each song had a distinct emotion of its own. In the progression through the show, Toad alternated between al album bum versions and extended mixes.

"There's so much local talent," said Garrett, "It's a shame that it all stays in Portland. I think Willamette needs more people to come and play here." Currently, Garrett is trying to bring an impersonator of one of his heroes, Elvis Presley, to campus. Garrett seems to relate to Presley, in that they both share a sense of say saying ing what they think and being ex extremely tremely honest. "I just think he has a voice," he said of the King. "If you just listen to the voice, he's a great communicator." Garrett's view of Presley is very close to his own philosophy on life. "You've got to follow your own bliss," said Garrett. "You've got to be yourself. In the end of the day, it's just you. Keep your hands on the wheel. Roll down the window aim iwi iuo u iyi.baa yiMir- hair. Drive." It isn't hard to see that Garrett shows great concern for his stu students, dents, in and out of the classroom. That may be the reason his classes fill up so quickly at registration. He is his own man, and he is not afraid to admit it. Besides the familiar songs like "All I Want" and "Fly from Heaven," the band also played some lesser known songs with twists to the al album bum versions. From Dulcinea, "Woodburning" awed the crowd with a cool blue glow. Toad added a low base thump to "Windmills," a song usually played with solemnity and reflection, but the result was outstanding. A banjo intra was given by Todd for the song "Come Back Down" on their second album, Pale, clarifying the meaning even further. Hootie returned to sing Toad's sixth song, "Crowing," once again giving him the lime light and a huge round of applause. Towards the end of the show, the Blowfish guitarist returned for another song. The final song, "I Will Not Take These Things for Granted," blew away the audience. The song came at the perfect time when all were in the mood for contemplation. As a slow, thought-provoking tunc, the song gave the auJience something to reflect upon as it left the hall and rccn'sr H the real world. In all the concerts I've seen, some have come close to the feeling that Toad expressed during the show, but not many. If you like to think, or like a familiar beat and like honest music, Toad is a group for you.

The Bearcats played their first conference match Saturday at home against Whitman College of Walla Walla, Wash. Willamette easily handled them 7-2, to boost their record to 1-3 overall and 1-0 in conference. Head Coach Molly Sigado was excited about getting the team's first victory. "It is really nice to get our first win," she said. "They were a little better than I thought, but we came out real well and played great." Junior Kim Yokoyama led the assault by winning 6-3 6-3 at number one singles and then by teaming up with freshman Megan Frey to take the number one doubles spot. Yokoyama and Frey did not drop a game in their doubles match. Freshman Allison Meier won at the third singles spot after drop dropping ping the first set. She came back to win 3-6 6-1 7-4. KimNeyen. seninrStp.phanie Hamai, and senior Michelle Ganiere rounded out the winning in singles at numbers five, six, and seven, respectively. Hamai and Ganiere won at the number two doubles spot, while Meier teamed up with fel fellow low frosh Katie Snider to win at number three and complete Willamette's sweep of the the doubles bracket. Most of the players are happy that the pre-season is over and they can finally begin matches that count toward their playoff position. "I'm excited to get into con conference," ference," Yokoyama said. "I think we're on our way to win winning ning more matches." Next up for the Bearcats is Lewis & Clark College today at 3 p.m in Portland. In recent history Willamette has faired well against the Pioneers. "They have been pretty weak in the past," Sigado said. "They have a couple new players this year, though, so it should be a good match." Then, while the rest of us go home or go on vacation, the women's team is taking a trip do wn to San Francisco for a week packed with tennis. They fly out Friday evening and their first match is Saturday against the University of California at Santa Cruz. The team is looking forward to the trip and spending time together. "Everyone is excited," Snider said. "We all get along so it will be a lot of fun." -- "I think it will he. -imnH . experience for us," Yokoyama commented. "It will give us more matches to play and by being together we'll get closer." After UCSC on Saturday they have a day off and then play four straight with Mill College on Monday, University of San Fran Francisco cisco Tuesday, Chabot Junior College Wednesday, and Menlo College on Thursday. The only thing that could put a damper on the trip is the torren torrential tial rain that has hit the Bay-area as of late. "As long as we don't get rained on we should be O.K.," Sigado said. Meanwhile, the men' s tennis team continued their hot streak and completed the sweep of Whitman by beating them on Sunday 5-4. They have now won two in a row and three out of their last four to improve their record to 3-3 overall and 2-0 in conference. Once again, the steady play of senior Eric Norland earned him a victory at number one singles. Senior Allen Vestegard and sophom re Derek McCarthy fol followed lowed his lead by winning at the second and third singles spots. The other winners for Willamette were Norland and McCarthy at number one doubles and senior Will Schmautz and sophomore Mark Dedrick at the third doubles spot. Head Coach Russ Beaton was pleased with his team's perfor performance mance against Whitman. "I knew it would be close and it w a good match," he said. The men face the Pioneers today at home while the women are playing it out in Portland. ' Rugby Women stuggle in vain attempt to fill uniforms by Dan Metz Editor With Spring break approach approaching, ing, it seems the Willamette rugby teams are fizzling out with injuries, lack of leadership and lack of player interest. The men were scheduled to play two games the past two weeks, but both games were called off because of injuries and lack of interest. The women, also scheduled to play two games the past two week weekends, ends, were only able to scrap to together gether half a it I think the biggest problem is that there is no real leadership on the team," Freshman Becky Anderson team on Saturday to combine ef efforts forts with Lewis & Clark to play Oregon Rugby Sports Union at Bush Park. Because Lewis & Clark and Willamette combined efforts against the ORSU team, the play was a little bit differ different ent than normal. Instead of a game played with two 40-minute halves, the teams played two games of two 20-minuie halves. Willamette and Lewis & Clark played motley style against ORSU, with Lewis & Clark playing their entire squad in the second halt of the first match-up. Despite the rather unorthodox nature of the game, the team con consisting sisting of Wii!ametteLewis & Clark j.'iaycu wen lugciuvi, 0 strong showing against the more experienced ORSU team. ORSU scored a try near the end of the first half, and the motley team was able to hold from scoring again. The fi final nal score was 5-0 in the first match. In the second game, the motley squad played strong defense, keeping the score at zero after the first half. Then in the second, ORSU broke through the Lewis & Clark Willamette defense and scored a try, making the final score 5-0 again. t "I think people are tired of show showing ing up when the games are con constantly stantly cancelled. There's no point in sticking around when there's only half a chance that there might be a game," said freshman fly-half Becky Anderson of the lack of a full team on Saturday. "I really had fun though, because I just haven't played in so long," she added. "I think the biggest problem is that there is no real leadership (coach) on the team. When there's no one to tell you to come out and what to do when you are out there, it' s harder to get people " to show up to practice, let alone games," Anderson said of the prob problems lems of the semester.

V Baseball V Track Team overcomes walks to pull win by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer It sure wasn't pretty, but for Willamette's baseball team, a win is a win. Despite walking 1 1 batters, the Bearcats were able to come away with a 6-3 victory over Concordia College in their home opener last Saturday. Sophomore Abe Cohen started on the mound for the Bearcats, cruising through the first inning. He ran into trouble in the second, when after retiring the first hitter, he walked the bases loaded. Cohen was able to get the next batter to hit a weak ground ball right back to him, but then threw the ball past sophomore catcher Ryan Flynn, trying for the force out at home. Cohen's throwing error al allowed lowed two Concordia runners to score. Concordia, who the Bearcats destroyed last season 18-2, went on to score another run in the inning, giving them a much needed burst of momentum. Willamette, who was coming off a 9-4 defeat at the hands of the University of Portland over a week ago, looked like their up and down play would continue, at least until the bot bottom tom of the third inning. It was then, that Willamette stormed back, scoring three runs to tie the game 3 3. The key to the multi-run inning were some clutch hits from the Bearcat hitters. Willamette had been struggling ?. .he plate with runners in scoring position from the start, but they were able to come through when they needed to against Concordia. Willamette received a major scare in the top of the fifth inning, when Concordia had the bases loaded once again. After a succession of foul balls, Cohen got a Concordia batter to pop out to junior third baseman Jay Lindemann to end the threat. The Bearcats continued to make the most of their scoring opportunities in the bottom of the fifth, scoring one run and taking a 4-3 lead. Senior pitcher Geoff Huetten came on for Cohen in the seventh, throwing three shutout -innings and striking out six. Willamette's two additional runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, coupled with Huetten's impressive performance, earned the Bearcats a 6-3 victory. The Bearcat's home opening win im improved proved their record to 4-3, as they prepare for their annual Spring break trek through California. Willamette is scheduled to play six games in five days, before they return home to open their conference schedule against Pacific University. The Bearcats open their Spring break with the trip's lone double header at Chico State on March 18. They will then travel to San Francisco State for two single nine-inning games on the March 19 and 20. The following day, they take on Cal. State Hayward for one nine inning game, before returning to Chico State for Willamette's final game on March 22. Only three days after their California trip ends they will start the Northwest Conference season with their three game series against Pacific. They will play a single nine-inning game against Pacific on March 25 at John Lewis Field, with a double header at Pa Pacific cific the next day. Two days later, they will return home to take on NAIA weakling Western Baptist. i AN ! f -.n una "iSI!"''

M Senior Jason Holmgren also had an out outstanding standing performance, by throwing 149' in the discus earning himself a personal best mark and a spot in the conference meet as well. This Friday at 1 p.m., the Bearcats will lead into their Spring break by competing in Monmouth, at Western Oregon State College. The Bearcat track and field team had an impressive showing at the Linfield Icebreakers meet last Saturday in McMinnville. The Bearcats brought home several per personal sonal records, conference qualifying marks, and high placings. The womens' 400 meter relay team bet bettered tered their time for not only this season, but already surpassed last year's conference-challenging time. The mens' 1600 meter relay team has also improved upon last years' glory and expects even more success this season.

That sta statistic tistic didn't stop the Bearcats, who were dominated again, winning 90 90-M. M. Snyder lead the team with 26 points and 3 rebounds. Thompson and Scanlan were not far behind with 21 points, 9 rebounds, 5 as assists sists and 15 points and 8 rebounds, respectively. Indiana's Dale illassingame tried to set the game at a high tempo in the first half, but Willamette's strong defense reset the game's pace to a slower, more controlled game. The Bearcats were down by four 'ith 10 minutes left in the first half, "but with Thompson and Snyder hit hitting ting consecutive 3-pointers, Th Thompson ompson making a lay-in and sopho sophomore more Mike Hayter leading a tough defense, the team built a small lead at 38-32. 4g Tighter man defense by both teams lead to limited scoring, but Willamette kept a comfortable lead going into half time. "I think the key was that we played our game and kept the tempo at our pace," said Snyder, jfc The Bearcats pulled into an even larger lead as the second half pro progressed, gressed, leading by 16 points with five and a half left in the half. Indiana Tech called a time out after junior forward Andy Hakala' s two free throws gave Willamette a 2 point lead, but it was to no avail. Freshman Kevin VanderBrink, senior Matt Loughner, senior Derek Kellenberg and freshman Ed Ander Anderson son cameon to secure theBearcat's 90-63 victory. Willamette' s quarterfinal game against Northwest Nazarene did not follow the trend set by the their two previous games. After being outplayed in first half, Willamette rallied and almost pulled out the victory, but marginal referee calls, everal missed shots and tough Northwest Nazarene defense all contributed to the "almost" win which actually was a 69-64 loss. The first half ended with the Bearcats down 36-29. The team shot only 37 percent from the field, fitting only 2 of their 10 3-point attempts. Nevertheless, the Bearcats trailed the Crusaders by only seven points at the half. Willamette refused to die, and after Scanlan's lay-in, an Adelman 3-pointer and a Snyder jumper, the feearcats had cut the Crusader' s lead to only one point, with 16 minutes f V 021 f" w I 1 left in the game. The Crusaders pushed up the tempo until Thompson put WU into a 1 point lead with 8 minutes left, but they soon fell behind again. Then the referees made some ques questionable tionable calls that might have changed the course of the game, and possibly the tournament. Willamette was still fighting despite the calls in question, cutting it to a 3-point game with only 9 seconds left. Snyder, trying in vain to get one more possession of the ball, was forced to foul Northwest Nazarene's Bob Taminga, ending the game and the season. Thompson felt that their were a number of factors resulting in the Bearcat's season ending loss. "My shooting didn't help for a start," he said. "I think we played well, but it' s hard to beat a team when they ' re on their home court with the crowd that they have." One should not look to Willamette's loss to Northwest Nazarene as the end of a bad season, but as a learning experience.

You can never blame a loss on the officiat officiating, ing, but there's no doubt they were influenced by the crowd down the stretch." Coming in as an unranked team and upsetting the 13th and 4th seeds are no small conquests. Willamette outlasted Lewis & Clark, played two phenomenal games, and can walk away knowing they played basketball like Bearcats. There is little doubt that they will be back at the national tournament next year, for the fourth consecutive time. As Thompson summed it up, "I think we' ve played the best in these past three games, better than we have all yfcar. It's sad that we didn't win the game.
