No senator, no money policy leaves many without funding By Mark A. Schneberger StaffWrikv

CO student group leaders who have little time for juggling studies and club activities, were asked to fit another activity in their schedules last week Many were forced to become student government senators as well, and to represent their clubs in a political function. All formal student organizations, from

the English Society to Nursing, were told this month that they had to elect senators to the newly formed student government senate by Sept. 16. If they didn't, they'd be unable to lobby for student active fees and lose funding from the school. The mandate came from the UCO Student Association (UCOSA) and was approved by UCO President Roger Webb. UCOSA President Derrek Belase said he was excited about the new policy. He encouraged all groups to join the

Lack of time, information cited as causes senate and sent letters to club presidents informing them of their new governmental responsibilities. Yet, by last Wednesday, only 93 of 147 senate seats had been filled by student club officers, Belase said. He said he had hoped more members would have joined, but was encouraged by the numbers. "As far as the 93 people (who joined),

I'm very excited. I would have liked to see 147, but I think it speaks tons about the way our students feel," Belase said. "Maybe student apathy is nearing an end." Student clubs who chose not to join the senate were less enthused, however. The American Society for Interior

Junior resident assistant extinguishes Saturday night fire in West Hall By Steven E. Wedel Editottnellid n illegal candle has been blamed for a fire in UCO's West Hall Saturday night. The blaze started in the third floor room where Shereen Francis lived. Sara Morrell, a resident of West Hall, said she smelled smoke at about 8:45 p.m. Soon after, the hall on the third floor was filling with smoke. Morrell called the dormitory office and reported what was happening before taking further action. "I kicked the glass in to get the fire extinguisher," Morrell said. "I tried to give it to Shereen, but she was just standing in the door screaming. I put it down and left." When the alarm sounded, Lamarie Rutelonis, one of West Hall's resident assistants, was in the recreation room. She ran to see what was happening. "No one was using the fire extinguisher," she said. "The door was cracked, so I kicked it in and started spraying the bed and closet." Rutelonis stayed until the smoke overcame her. "It got to where I couldn't breathe, so I left," she said. By that time, campus police and Edmond firefighters were on

the scene. Farrell Rossen, assistant director of Facilities Management, said Rutelonis was responsible for extinguishing the fire. "The RA put (the fire) out," Rossen said. "It was out when the fire department arrived." Rutelonis was sent to Edmond Regional Hospital. She was treated for smoke inhalation and released. Morrell was treated for cuts sustained when she retrieved the fire extinguisher The fire was caused by a candle, according to Rossen. "The RA had come by, so I put the candle on the shelf in my closet," Francis said. "I forgot about it until about 30 minutes later." Francis said the blaze ruined half her clothes and shoes. She estimated the cost to be about $250. Rossen said damage to the room has been estimated at $600. He said Francis should be able to return to her room by mid-week. It is a violation of campus policy to burn candles. Rossen said any disciplinary actions would be left to Auxilary Services. Residents of West Hall were without air conditioning- for much of the day on Monday. Rossen said the unit was turned off in an effort to rid the building of smoke. <

a e us when it's over

CRs around the world spun and blinked yesterday as people saved for posterity the newest chapter in the Clinton/Lewinsky saga. Starr's report is selling like hot cakes in bookstores, and the counters on web sites hosting the report are still rolling up the hits. Many people still insist the president's sex life, and the lies that resulted from it, are private business.'Others say he should be impeached. Yet others say we're being inundated with filthy details we don't need. Perhaps the third group is right. As participants in our system of government, we have the right to know when our president has lied to us. But what have we gained by knowing the explicit details of the adulterous affair? We don't really need to know about the cigars and the stains except to know if they confirm innocence or guilt. Like him or not, we don't need to broadcast the humiliating testimony of our elected leader to the world. Starr did his job. Now, let the House of Representatives decide whether or not to bring articles of impeachment. Let the Senate try the president if it comes to that. Until a decision is reached, -we'll just rent a Mickey Rourke video to get

Lack of alternative music upsets student

t wasn't until very recently that I found out that UCO even had a radio station, and I was horrified when I found out that it was a classical station! What's up? Never knowing that this station existed, I always thought it would be cool to live in a college town where I could listen to college radio and hear a lot of alternative and indierock bands that stations like the KATT and KJ-103 won't play. Then, on the weekend, I could go to clubs and see these cool bands perform live. The latter is something that can't be done here because of the lack of exposure that these bands have here.

If we could use even a portion of airtime on UCO's station we could make people more aware of bands that exist and even help promote local bands. There are a lot of talented bands in this area that never get a chance to play for anyone because not enough people are aware of any music not played on mainstream stations. I'm just begging for maybe a one hour a week show to showcase a lot of great music that's out there. I volunteer my own time for this. I honestly don't think it's too much to ask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;John London UCO student

SENATE Continued from front page

The truth about lies... Wooster students explore different types of lies

They themselves can determine what is important. Being part of the senate is important. —Derrek Belase UCOSA President Designers was one of many groups which did not elect a senate officer. President Kelli McCarter said her group did not "blow off' the senate mandate. Rather, her members were unaware of the requirement. "I didn't know anything about this. Our advisor gets all the mail and I need to call her and find out about this," McCarter said. "I wouldn't be able to be (a senator). I'm too busy. But we need that money." McCarter wasn't alone in her claim that she was uninformed about the senate. Jack Wheeler, president of the Association of Information Technology Professionals—a club with over 60 members— said he also didn't know about his organization's newest

responsibility. "No one ever told me. I thought we could just take the money the (student government) gave us," Wheeler said. "I didn't know we had to do this to get money," he said. For clubs such as Wheeler's there is no recourse. Belase said they (organizations without senators) will not receive activity funding this academic year, but are encouraged to join the senate next year. "Now they have a reason the be involved. Hopefully those organizations now know that this has to be an issue from now on," he said "They themselves can determine what is important. Being part of the senate is important."

By Christine Tatum CollegePressWriter WOOSTER, Ohio - Long before President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky groped into the nation's conscience and tried to fib their ways out, sociology Professor Barbara Hetrick considered teaching a class about lying. Her semester-long seminar - "The Truth About Lies" - for first-year students at Wooster College has been about 15 years in the making. Hetrick said she had no idea how hot the topic would become as she put the finishing touches on the course's syllabus this summer. When word of the class got out, even folks off campus tracked her down to request course outlines and lists of suggested readings. "In light of recent events, I can tell a lot more people out there are thinking more and more deeply about the consequences of truth- telling and telling lies," she said. "I think that has been a positive outcome to what is an otherwise tragic situation." Ironically, the president's affair with

Lewinsky hasn't come up much in class discussion. Instead, students are busy exploring the differences between white lies ("Wow! What a great tie that is!"); lies told to convey truth, such as those found in fables and folktales; and expert lies often found in government propaganda and political deception. One of the course's objectives, Hetrick said, is to challenge students to determine whether lies are ever acceptable - or even preferable. "I believe that most 17 and 18-yearolds who come to college are not terribly comfortable with ambiguity," she said. "They tend to see things in black and white without always wanting to consider the subtle shades of gray. "This topic will challenge that tendency when, for instance, they consider whether or not they would lie to save the life of their child." So far, Hetrick's students have reached consensus that lying is more acceptable when done to protect others and less acceptable when done for selfprotection. "What that means for the president, I just don't know," Hetrick said.

wo members of UC0's Circle K International recently attended the organizations annual conference in Ochorios, Jamaica. Juniors Sonja Anderson and Maya Rao attended the summer conference along with 950 other members from across the globe. "People come from all over the world to focus on one thing-service," Anderson said. While in Jamaica, members dedicated their time to cleaning a local school and discussed the international service campaign for the following year, which will be to raise money to fight Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) in Yugoslavia and other third world countries. IDD occurs when individuals don't receive the necessary daily intake of iodized salt in their diets, resulting in the development of a goiter.

"The entire K family is trying to raise money for the cause," Anderson said. "All it takes is a (minimum) donation of five cents to save one life." Both Anderson and Rao said attending the conference made them excited to begin their service work. Local service projects for the 1998-99 school year include: the Ronald McDonald House, Breakfast on Boulevard at the First Christian Church of Edmond, and participating in the Celebration of Children at Hafer Park on Oct. 3-4. "I came back from the conference with enthusiasm and motivation for the next year," Rao said. "I'm ready to pass on my motivation and excitement to current and future members of Circle K at UCO," Anderson said. For more information about Circle K contact Maya Rao at 348-2174.

"Arsenic and Old Lace" to feature veteran actors By Julie Jordan

Stan/Met ne sang with Frank Sinatra and danced with Gene Kelly. The other had recurring roles on "Dynasty" and "Cagney & Lacey." Put them together and they are Betty Garrett and Carole Cook, stars of "Arsenic and Old Lace" playing at 8 p.m., Sept. 26, in Mitchell Hall Theater. "Arsenic and Old Lace" is the first of five "Broadway Tonight" performances established by President Roger Webb. The five-part "President's Series" will bring national acts to Edmond such as "A Shirley Jones Family Christmas" on Dec. 5

and "The Lettermen" in the spring. Garett and Cook will portray Abby and Martha Brewster, two charming and innocent women, who populate their cellars with the remains of socially "acceptable" roomers in "Arsenic and Old Lace." "Everybody's excited about it," said Roberta Sloan, professor and chair of the department of theater arts. She said Garrett and Cook will speak to one of her classes Wednesday afternoon. Garrett has performed for more than 60 years and acted with Orson Welles and most recently appeared with Jack Lemmon in the TV special "A Long Way Home." Cook recently starred in the premiere of "Radio Gals" at the John Houseman Theater in New York. She also toured in UCO students Christi Newberry, left, and Brittanie Dudley, right, are stand-ins for Betty Garrett and Carole Cook's characters, Abby and Martha Brewster.

Smart mouth, fast hands Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker team up for new action flick

By Julie Jordan SWIMVet

n "Armour of God" he fell 25 feet, hitting his head on a rock and fracturing his skull. Brain hemorrhaging nearly ended his life. It is safe to say not many actors would risk their lives for a role, but then again Jackie Chan is no ordinary actor. He proves this once again in his new movie "Rush Hour." Jackie Chan, infamous for over 100 martial arts films, takes a relatively simple plot and transforms it into a fastpaced mystery with a theme of loyalty. Chan plays Lee, a Hong Kong

inspector summoned to America to help a friend locate his kidnapped 11-year old daughter. But the FBI are against any outside interference, and send LAPD Detective James Carter (Chris Tucker) to intercept Lee at the airport and keep him off the case. Initially offended by the "top priority" assignment, Carter changes his mind and sees an opportunity to impress the Bureau and solve the case himself. Although Carter is totally against having a partner, he and Lee eventually team up using Carter's knowledge of the street and Lee's martial arts skills to locate the little girl before the $50 million ransom is due. The outtakes at the end of Chan's movies are not only a unique way to end a movie, but they give the audience an inside view of the unusual mistakes and mishaps that occur while making a movie.

"Rush Hour" is not an action, or a drama, or a comedy; it is all three. This is definitely a movie to check out if you want to b

entertained. In a time when actors are more concerned about the millions they will earn, it is refreshing to see an actor so dedicated to his craft he actually performs his own stunts.

Last-minute loans , budgeting advice available on web By Christine Tatum CollegePress

CHICAGO (CPX) - If backto-school bills are draining your savings faster than expected, check out the Web for some lastminute borrowing options and budgeting advice. Two of the country's largest student-loan providers, Nellie Mae and Sallie Mae, offer tutorials on how to set spending limits and choose the best loans on the market. Both sites— located at www.nelliemae.com and www.salliemae.comprovide glossaries of financial aid terms, a rich selection of calculators to help you set up a spending plan and loan applications that can be filled out and returned online. "The key to managing college expenses is maintaining control of the bills," said Diane Saunders, vice president of public affairs for Nellie Mae.

"College students, especially those away from home for the first time, often need help setting purchasing limits. They need to learn how important and easy budgeting can be." Among Saunders' suggestions for students hoping to stretch their dollars: o Take public transportation instead of maintaining and driving a car. Stick with basic services and avoid expensive options attached to cable TV, telephone service and meal plans. o Find a part-time job. Studies have shown that students who work between 12 and 15 hours a week log stronger academic performances than those who don't work at all. They also have more money to cover the bills, Saunders said. Students who still come up short may need to find student loans. The wait for a federal loan is typically four to six weeks, while private loans (usually from

banks) are available in a few days. No matter which route students choose, they still need to consider much before signing the dotted line. Saunders recommends that students: o Shop around for loan providers who give discounts when consecutive loan payments are made on time. o Know the monthly repayment rate due upon graduation. A 1998 study conducted by Nellie Mae showed that the average borrower repaid $161 each month for undergraduate student loans, while professional and graduate students repaid $271 a month. o Calculate earnings potential. Starting salaries vary greatly depending on a student's career choice, so it's wise to borrow accordingly. For example, entrylevel teachers can expect to make a little more than $24,000 a year, while computer engineers can expect to receive starting salaries of more than $38,000.

The classes covered personal hygiene, food temperature abuse, cross-contamination, pest control and general sanitation. Labetta Wallenmeyer, director of the UCO Student Health Center, said the City-County Health Department probably held the classes because last year there was a large breakout of Hepatitis A.

Business college's Career Day to feature golf tournament By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy SheWriter

CO College of Business Administration is sponsoring the Career Day Activities, beginning with their Golf Tournament, Career Day Speaker and Business Exhibit Booths, and Advisory Board Sunday-Monday, Sept. 27/28. Events start with the first annual `Drive for Diversity' Golf Tournament at the Silverhorn Golf Club in Edmond, from noon-6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Proceeds from the golf tournament will go towards the development and implementation of innovative programs said Charles Pursifull, professor of accounting and chairman of the tournament. Career Day follows at the University Center Constitutional Hall, from 8:15am-1:00pm, Monday Sept. 28. Guest speaker Roger Maxwell, an entrepreneur from Scottsdale, AZ, will be discussing skills students need to be successful in the next century. The programs are aimed at recruiting inner-city students to UCO, and to help them achieve their higher education goals.

Our primary aim is for any UCO student to be able to get to know these firms and see if they are interested in a job with these companies. It is set up so that students can ask questions in a relaxed atmosphere. —Dr. Steve Black Career Day chairman

"Our purpose with Career day is to give students the opportunity to talk one-on-one with top executives from various corporations in the U.S.," said Jackie Durant, Special Events Coordinator for UCO College of Business. Most of the participants are from distinguished companies in the Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Texas areas. Among those participating are the

FDIC, Baird, Krutz and Dobson Accounting Company from Tulsa, the Lerner Corporation, Mutual of Omaha, Kerr-McGee Corporation, Samson Oil and Gas Company, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and the FBI. "We are expecting more than 80 companies this year," said Dr. Steve Black, assistant professor of Finance and Chairman of Career Day. The University Center

Constitutional hall has the capacity of seating 510 people and the auditorium was completely filled last year, Durant said. "Last year we received great response and the students were very interactive. "We are hoping that all students will participate because this is not an event for the College of Business alone," Durant said. Career Day events will conclude with an Advisory Board for students from 1:30-2:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 28. The Advisory Board offers students a chance to have their resumes reviewed by professionals and faculty members. "Our primary aim is for any UCO student to be able to get to know these firms and see if they are interested in a job with these companies. It is set up so that students can ask questions in a relaxed atmosphere," Black said. "We get a big kick out of seeing students make contacts and it's very rewarding."

Stade/0,01as Sport of Wags' McKenzie's own experience in horse racing is fairly recent. She bought her two horses from Ruidoso, N.M. only a month and a half ago. After that, she got an owner's license and badge to make it official. She claimed her horses, which means reserved for purchase, out of a race after checking up on their background through the Internet. Her horses, Kelli Reed and Creep Up Spider, both raced before McKenzie acquired ownership. "You can't race a horse if it has leg problems. I went through the Internet to find out if the horses were racing and working consistently," McKenzie said. "You want a horse that's very versatile, that can run in ,WralaraleerWA:4‘ fast, sloppy, and muddy tracks." McKenzie bought Kelli Rr -. 1 for $2,500 and after feeding her vitamins and nutrients, McKenzie raced her in the Iowa Stakes.

Keeping her family traditions alive, McKenzie plans to race her thoroughbred at Remington Park racetrack in Oklahoma City. Originally from Eureka, Kan., McKenzie comes from a line of racers and trainers. Her grandfather was a jockey, and her parents trained horses for a long time.

"My uncle won the Triple Crown (which consists of the Rainbow, Kansas and the AllAmerican Futurity), ten years ago in quarter horse racing. These are the most prestigious races to win. If you can do that you're the best," McKenzie said. Her uncle, W.R. Hunt, is showcased in the National Quarter Horse Museum for his achievement. He also rode the first quarter horse to earn a million dollars.

MCKENZIE Continued from Page 12 will be riding Creep Up Spider. "My mom trains the horses, feeds and gets them to the track, my step-dad shoes them, and dad sends bales of prairie hay and alfalfa from his ranch in Missouri," McKenzie said. "It's quite exciting to me that my family is so supportive and

helpful. That saves me a lot of expense. The expense of keeping them was a little bit more in the beginning but now the cost is almost nothing," she said. A bag of horse feed costs about $6. One horse eats a sack of feed in one week. It takes four sacks of oats and A-

four sacks of sweet feed, which is a combination of different grain oats and vitamins, to feed a horse for a month. Medications, fly spray, and shampoo are some of the costs of keeping a horse healthy. Special medications are given to horses to prevent nosebleeds and sores due to excessive racing. On a typical day when the horses are not racing, they get galloped or ponied around the track for about four laps. They are then hooked to walkers, which lets them cool off Kelli after exercise. The horses get galloped three times a week with an exercise rider and fed in their stalls. Their legs are then wrapped in a medicated mud treatment, which keeps their muscles tight and prevents sores.

They're kept at the racetrack in Eureka, where McKenzie's parents live. "Keeping them at the track keeps their mind involved," McKenzie said.

"The goal that I have is to eventually get a horse to run in the Breeder's Cup," McKenzie said. McKenzie's next stop may just be the Kentucky Derby.

Art chairman records images of war in Croatia By Madhumathi Krishmanurthy StaffMita

emnants of a war torn land; Croatia's peaceful inner beauty, is reflected through the photography of Dr. Bob Palmer, chairman of the UCO department of art and design. Palmer visited the country five years ago, while conducting a workshop at the University of Zagreb, where he presented his new wrinkle painting technique. During his trip he captured scenes from Croatia on film, to illustrate its peoples and lifestyles. Palmer's interest in the country was kindled through the descriptions given by a Croatian international student at UCO, Goran Medved, who was a paying guest at the Palmer's residence. "He told us about the countryside, the

cities and the artwork, and it fascinated us," Palmer said. "Goran went back home and he contacted the University of Zagreb, and arranged for the workshop." When Palmer reached Croatia, he was

impressed with the simplicity of lifestyle, the overall tranquillity of the environment, and the dedication to education he found in the students. "What was really an eye opener is how much we in America take education for granted," Palmer said. "These students were very willing to learn. I think it's because they appreciate education and the opportunity to learn." Palmer saw the students work in buildings that were hundreds of years old, half destroyed by war, without proper equipment or facilities. "We went through towns that were completely destroyed. There were places with actual land mines and you had to watch your step," Palmer said. "My trip made me appreciate all that we have. These people are not wasteful and they take so much pride in their country," he said.

By James Gutzmer SpOritrifilter

CO turned out to be too much for Abilene Christian on Saturday. The Bronchos put a 30-0 stomping on the Wildcats at Wantland Stadium. The Bronchos move to 3-0 on the season and 2-0 in the Lone Star Conference. ACU drops to 1-1. A crowd of 3,300 was on hand for the Bronchos second straight home win, and the second shutout in three weeks. The UCO defense dominated the Wildcats, allowing only 168 total yards in the game. Only sixty-one yards were allowed in

the second half. Abilene was forced to punt 10 times. UCO head coach Gary Howard said, "Our defense did a great job. It was a hard fought football game. I am really proud of them." The name of the game for UCO was all tailbacks. Ryan Logan and Reggie Donner teamed up to score four touchdowns. Logan rushed for 136 yards and caught two passes for 32 yards. Donner gained 103 total yards, with 80 of those coming on the ground. UCO got a rocket start in the game, driving the ball 64 yards

Bronchos move to 3-0 on the season to a touchdown on their second possession. Jett Cornett made a diving catch that moved the Bronchos up the field 18 yards. Donner rushed the ball the final five yards to pay-dirt putting UCO up 6-0. The Bronchos powered the ball down the field again in the second quarter. The Wildcats put up a stand on the 4-yard line forcing Ronnie Gulikers to kick a 30 yard field goal. The drive was helped along by a 28-yard scramble by quarterback Scott Condict. UCO only had a 9-0 lead going into half-time. The Bronchos soon turned it up a notch. Donner touched the ball

in every play on a nine play, 68yard scoring drive that opened the third quarter. Donner highlighted the drive with a 28yard screen from Condict. On the last play before the half, Condict hit Todd Barnes on a crossing pattern for 29-yards, but time expired before UCO could call time out. Howard said, "We came out and dominated them for a big drive. We served notice that we came to play in the second half." ACU also felt the sting from wide receiver Alton Lusk on a 29 yard reverse that put UCO on the six yard line. Logan scored three plays later putting UCO 23-0.

The Broncho's final drive was all Logan. He touched the ball seven of 10 plays. He finished the drive by leaping an ACU defender at the goal line to score the final touchdown. Logan later said, "That is Broncho ball. - We just run it and run it." UCO rushed a total of 63 times and totaled 81 plays compared to ACU's 50. ACU was only allowed to convert on two of 13 third down opportunities. UCO will play Tarleton State next week in Stephenville, TX.

I visited the campus and I liked "We've been working hard, we're going to go far," Trainor it," Dusome said. After deciding to attend UCO, said. each of the players loaded up in "Our team is positive and

Nicole Dusome really serious," Martin said. During practices, they noticed a major difference between Canada and Oklahoma, the weather. "A day like today (85 degrees) is a hot day in Canada," Martin said. The team beat the heat, and it was worth it. "We're going to surprise a lot of people," Dusome added. UCO is tabbed for a sixth-

place finish in the nine-team Lone Star Conference race this season. UCO plays a home game against ninth ranked Southwestern Oklahoma State University at 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4. All three players plan to play soccer for UCO until they graduate and at least as a recreational activity after college. "My soccer future depends on what opportunities are there for me. I'll never stop playing. Love the game, gotta play it," Trainor said. Trainor's major is exercise and fitness management and she hopes to work in sports therapy. Dusome hopes to analyze crime for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with forensic science as her major. Recreation management is Martin's major and she hopes to open her own recreational facility.

UCO women's soccer team has a tough time with the Buffaloes By Darrell J. Weidner sportswriter

n Sunday, the UCO Bronchos soccer team took a hard fall to the 21st ranked West Texas A&M Lady Buffaloes, in a 5-1 game, at Tom Thompson soccer Field.

The Lady Buffaloes dominated the half, keeping the ball on the Bronchos' side of the field, taking several shots on goal that were blocked by Broncho goal keeper Amy Barber. The Bronchos responded to the West Texas lead near the end of the first half, when

forward Jeorgia McGinty made a brake along the line to score. In the second half West Texas forced the ball into the Bronchos' side of the field that led to a shot on goal by Julie Saylor. The Lady Buffaloes then forced another goal, going down mid field and passing to

Massie who made her third goal of the game. The final goal came when a Lady Buffaloes' mid fielder made a goal near the end of the half. The Bronchos next game will be in Lawrence, Ks, when they face the Kansas Jayhawks of the Big 12 Conference.

Wolverines get what they need...a victory By Nicholas J. Cotsonika CollegellessWilier

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - They needed this. To soothe the pain caused by their dismal 0-2 record, by their sudden fall from the rankings, by the sad suspension of safety Marcus Ray. They needed this. To get themselves back on track in time for the Big Ten race. To be Michigan again. The Wolverines needed this game for so many reasons, and after they finished their 59-20 romp of Eastern Michigan on Saturday, they breathed a sigh of relief more than anything else. They had their first victory of the season, and though their opponent was no match for them in talent or resources, that didn't matter. "It was important for us to get a win under our belt before we started our defense of the Big Ten title," said defensive end Juaquin Feazell, already looking ahead to next week's conference opener against Michigan State. "Our approach was to go out and play our best, regardless of who we were playing." What such domination of Eastern (1-2) says about the Wolverines is unclear. After all, the Eagles always have been whipping boys for their Washtenaw County neighbors, whose campus is just six miles from theirs. Eastern now has lost

all six games it has played against the Wolverines, though Saturday, it scored for the first time against them. U-M won so easily, many of the 110,438 fans at Michigan Stadium — the second-largest crowd in NCAA history — didn't bother to stay for the fourth quarter, leaving empty pockets of plastic bleachers around the recently renovated bowl. But playing Eastern didn't make the Wolverines any less encouraged by their performance, especially on offense. Their running game, which offensive coordinator Mike DeBord said needed a confidence boost, racked up 237 yards, 117 of which came from tailback Anthony Thomas. Their passing game was solid when needed, with quarterbacks Tom Brady and Drew Henson combining to go 17-for-25 for 181 yards and two touchdowns. "We put some points on the board, and we ran the ball," Brady said. "That's our style of football. This week was more characteristic of Michigan football." Several young Wolverines played, gaining valuable experience, and the once-woeful kicking game showed promise. Jay Feely made both of his fieldgoal attempts, an official 24yarder that counted and an unofficial 25-yarder that was

Players give baseball hope By James Gutzmer SportsWiltet

Cal Ripken said he had no tears and no regrets for ending his 2,632 game stint. Ripken is the role model the American baseball fan should look up to. He may get paid the big bucks, but this man has a genuine love for the game. On September 6, 1995 the baseball world let out a loud cheer for the man who has been referred to as the ironman of baseball. On that day, Ripken passed Lou Gehrig's 2,130 consecutive

games played. Ripken started his consecutive games in 1982 and has followed through every game until Sunday, September 20, 1998. Ripken said that he talked over the decision to miss a game with his wife, part of the character of the man behind the uniform. A man who cares about the feelings and thoughts of those he loves. Players like Ripken, McGwire and Sosa give hope that we are stepping back to the time when baseball was more than a paycheck— a pastime. .<

nullified due to a penalty. Freshman Hayden Epstein handled kickoff duties like a pro, nailing seven of 10 into the end zone or beyond — his last through the uprights. "We came out right from the beginning," said coach Lloyd Can, who won his 30th career game. "Our backs ran harder. We did some good things. We need to run the ball to be a good team, because I don't think we have a dominating defense. But that will get better as we go along." Many Wolverines, including defensive coordinator Jim Herrmann, said they felt the team had improved defensively, after allowing 74 points in the season's first two games. But no one was happy to allow 20 points to Eastern: Last season, the Wolverines allowed just 9.5 points per game and finished first in the nation in total, scoring and pass-efficiency defense. The Wolverines stopped the run better than they did previously: They held Eastern to just 81 yards rushing, stuffing tailbacks Eric Powell and Ethan Vannoy with better play from their front line. But they struggled badly against the pass again at times — even though they had four interceptions— and still couldn't maintain a steady pass rush.

receivers, Jermaine Sheffield and Kenny Christian, were able to connect often. Though Church threw two easy interceptions — his other two resulted from tips — he finished 32-for-42 for 343 yards and two touchdowns. Church was sacked only once, and he made some big plays, including a 71-yard completion to Brandon Campbell over the head of All-Big Ten cornerback Andre Weathers. "We're primarily a zone team, so we don't give up many big plays," Can said. "The problem is we've got to eliminate those big plays. We've got to tighten things down. That's a big issue. We're just not at times getting the pressure on the quarterback." NOTEBOOK: U-M's investigation into allegations that Ray had improper contact with an agent this summer is progressing well, athletic director Tom Goss said. Goss said he expects U-M to submit its report' to the NCAA by late Monday or by "Tuesday at the latest." Wide receiver DiAllo Johnson, Ray's roommate, said Ray is "all right but a little down." Neither Goss nor Johnson would comment on the specifics of the investigation, but sources have said the allegations center around an incident that involves possible payment for lodging and entertainment. ...

U-M has asked Syracuse campus police to investigate whether Syracuse students or fans were responsible for the robbery of U-M's beloved "Go Blue" banner, which disappeared from its storage room in Crisler Arena last week before U-M played the Orangemen. U-M officials said they have received several tips that the banner was taken as a prank by a Syracuse fraternity or student group. If Syracuse police do find the banner in upstate New York, senior associate athletic director Mike Stevenson said U-M would be willing to drive out and get it. "We want it back," he said. A new banner — the third UM has used since its pregame tradition of players tapping the banner began in 1962 — was used Saturday. But it wasn't finished, with lettering only visible on one side. Three players overcoming injuries made an impact. Cornerback William Peterson, who was hobbled with a leg injury and didn't practice until Wednesday, intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown on his first play of the season. Tailback Clarence Williams (back) rushed for 27 yards and returned kickoffs, and tailback Justin Fargas (shoulder) also performed well. Fargas returned kicks, rushed for 34 yards, and scored his first career touchdown.
