makes the college less attractive
to students such as myself who
came here because of the small
size," Morales said.
According to the Marist Board
Report, the quality of the aver-
age applicant to Marist College
is increasing each year. Statis-
tics show that this year's appli-
cant pool is currently expected '
to be 6400 students, as com-
pared to last year's 6179.
Ofthose6179 applicants;
3400
were accepted: The admissions
office expected only 850 to en-
roll. However, 960 of the ac-
cepted applicants enrolled.
The number
of
students to be
admitted and enroll for this past
year, as
well
as for the upcom-
ing year, has been a subject of
much discussion amongst cur-
rent Marist students. Many
have said that the small size of
Marist College is what brought
them here.
Anne Morales, a junior com-

Other students are worried

said.DJ.Tardiff, ajuniorinfor-
mation systems major who was
forced to move off campus this
year due to a lack of housing.
Tardiff said that the main
prob-
lerµ areas are housing, parking
and computers.
. "Even though there are more
computers available in the new
library, I still have a hard time
finding one that's open because
of the large number of stu-
dents," Tardiff said.

"Attendance, craziness,

Overall, Hunter was quite .

"It helps fulfill my personal

Sean Kaylor, vice president for

"Competition among appli-

that
10

wards Gartland.
This began about
six
weeks
ago in an effort to accommodate
students taking night classes .
Construction workers took away
some of the space in the Com-
mons lot fonnerly available to
students, just south of the Bank
of New York, forcing more
people to park far away from
their classroom building.
Students are allowed to park
on the side. of the road until
10:00 p.m., after which they will
be towed.
Leary said the idea was devel-
oped to cut students some slack,
and thinks it
is
a step in the right
direction.
"I
think it has helped the stu-
dents some," Leary said.
"If
we
start getting parked on both
sides of the road we' re going to
have to bring that to a screech-
ing halt.
I
haven't heard any
complaints so far."
• Despite this effort
to
ease ten-
sions concerning parking, how-
ever, students are far from con-
tent.
Leary said there have been
a
lot of plans made for purchas-
ing parking lots, but they have
all been across Route
9,
mainly
involving the growth of Beck.
Student government did have
a referendum on a three-story
parking lot, which would cost
$2.7 million to construct. Of93 I
responses, only 387 students
said they would be willing to
help pay for the new lot.
"The reality of it is we are a
walking campus," Hunter said.
"There are not going to
be any
more parking lots put on this
(side of) campus."
Hunter suggested basing
parking on the priority point
system, just as housing does.

April Fools: A day for us all
BY JENWEINTZ
_Staff Writer
lt's approaching, quite rapidly
actually.
If
you're not carefulit
could sneak up behind you and
get you bad! No, it's not some
ferocious animal, but rather a
day.
It's
a day that millions of
people all over .the world look
forward to as one of humor, fun,
and practical jokes for a whole
twenty-four hours straight.
That's right it's April 1, or bet-
ter known as April Fools Day!
Originally, however, April
Fools day was not looked upon
· as a day of gags and laughs, but
rather as the start of the New
Year
in 16th Centwy France. But
soon after
in
1562 Pope Gregory
developed a new calendar in
which the start of the New Year
· fell on January
1.
Many people
after hearing this refused to be-
lieve the change in date and
they continued to celebrate New
Year's Day on April First. Oth-
ers, who did believe in the
change of.the date, loved to
play practical jokes and called
them "April Fools". They would
send people on fake errands or
try
to make them believe things .
that weren't true.
.
Today in France April Fools
day is called "Poisson d' Avril".
In school young children trick
their friends by taping small
cut- outs of fish to their
commerades' backs and when
the "young fool" discovers the
trick, the prankster yells
"Pois-
son d'Avril" (April Fish).
In today's day and age, April
Fools Day has become one of
much laughter, well maybe not
. always for the victim, but most
certainly for the prankster. The
"fools' errands" we_ play on
people are now referred to· as
practical jokes. · Although times
have modernized, the practical
humor sure hasn't. Many times
people will plan for weeks what
master minded joke they will
play on a close friend or family
member.
The following is a list of the
some of the better, and less
hannful jokes to play on one
another. Videotape a showing
of the lottery number reading
and then the next day purchase
a ticket with those exact num-
bers for someone who likes the
lotto. Then proceed to play the
tape at the same t!me the read-
ing would normally occur.
Watch as they think they've one
the big jackpot. Another good
one is to make a small tear in a
piece of fabric and hold it on the
side, when the ''victim" bends
over at some point, tear the fab-
ric and watch as they think
they've torn their pants. One
final option for practical joke
playing is to fill a manila enve-
lope half way with shaving
cream. Then, preferably at night,
slide the open end undpr a
person's door, and stomp on the
end still on the outside. Wait
till
the next morning when the
person awakes to find shaving
cream sprayed all with their
room, and no idea as to how
it
got there.

Rapunzel is that you?
The Marist College Council of
the Theatre
Arts
will
be
perfonn-
ing "Rapunzel" as their annuaJ
children's production beginning
March 30. But
it
might not be
what the audience expects.
"Our version of 'Rapunzel' is
different than·any other ver-
sion," said Steven Kelly, co-di-
rector of the production.
The lead male character in the
play, Llewellyn, is not the typi-
cal prince charming character
that he is
in
the storybook.
Llewellyn, played by Jon Murray
and Nick Foster, is portrayed as
a nerd and wears glasses in the
play.
-
Rapunz.e], the lead female char-
acter played by Elena Kozyrski
and Megan -Williams,_ is also
portrayed as
a
nerd, complete
with glasses.
The two main characters in the
story are played as nerds in or-
der to emphasize the play's
moral. According to Kelly, the
play teach~s. that one shouldn't
judge a person by their appear-
ance. There aren't many fairy
tales where the hero is a nerd.
The villain in the story is the
witch played by Sara Zizzi and
Missy Mignatti. Since the witch
and her glump warts are bald,
they lock Rapunzel in the tower
so that she can steal her hair.
Senior and co-director of
"Rapunzel", Karen Gumaer, said
that the attraction of the play is
its originality.

BY ALEXISSCARPINATO
Staff Writer
Do you have a tan or ever
wished you had one? Well,
maybe you should reconsider.
With the coming of
warm_
weather, tans seem to move in
with the skimpy bathing suits
and swim trunks. It would be a
disgrace to display pasty, white
skin protruding from summer
shons or tank tops. A frequent
visit to a tanning booth or bast-
ing in the warm sun will help rid
one of the pale, winter skin most
consider an embarrassment.
Unfortunately, self~image often
comes before health for many
people ..
Even the slightest indulgence
of UV rays can permanently
damage one's skin, resulting in.
an increased possibility of de-
veloping skin cancer. In the
United States alone, there are
approximately 32,000 cases di-
agnosed each year, the majority
of which are woman ages 25-29.

In
Spring 1995, for his

World Views and Values, Bob
chose to explore domestic violence and
learn
all he could about it
His inquiry included extensive research and ~least 40 hours during
the semester working with Grace Smith House and
its associated
groups. One aspect of this community work was helping to set up
the Clothesline Project in. the Galleria. To support Bob's efforts,
I
visited the display ofT-Shirts with drawings and word.'> by survivors
of domestic abuse. The experience of standing in front of those
shirts and reading expressions of indescribable pain was so powerful
that my immediate thought was to bring this Project to Marist.
From that moment, I suggested the idea to Women's Studies, to
praxis students looking for a meaningful project, and eventually to a
member of the Gender-Equality Club.•
It is possible that the idea also
arose
independently within the Club. Whatever the
case,
I was thrilled
when the Club made it happen, with the display of the Project on the
SC lawn (Hanneh helped all that day,
gaining
irifonnation from those

Miss Choudhry admits that
she has her group of friends. A
sorority is more than a group of
friends.
It is an organization of
women that are together for the
purpose of friendship and sis-
terhood. We are· a sisterhood .
In my sorority, we are all INDI-
VIDUALS together as a group
for this purpose. And the last
point that
I
wish to address is
the fact that we are forced to do
dumb things
in
order to be ac-
cepted. She must be talking
about HAZING. Hazing is not
something that our organization
believes in. We have never and
would never make a new mem-
ber do any act that would hu-
miliate her. That does not
promte [sic} the goal of what we
believe in. I would really like to
hear where Saba got her infor-
mation. Obviously she did not
speak with myself.

I
would like to speak now on
a personal level.
I lived in a car-
bon copy town, went to a car-
bon. copy high school and
somehow maintained to be
an
individual with diverse friends.
I
came to Marist hoping to find
diversity, but alas as Ms.
Choudhry point out, it is a car-
bon copy school.
I had my ap-
plications filled out, waiting to
go to another school, where
perhaps
I
would be more com-
fortable as an individual. Then
I rushed in Spring of 1999. And
I
found "home."
I
found a group
of girls who were all different
and yet all friends, a group of
girls who asked nothing of me
and wanted to Jove me,
I
found
a group of girls that my own
mother would be proud to call
her daughters, a group of girls I
can always call my sisters. They
sacrifice their time to talk to me
when
I walk into McCoy's and
have a guy make
fun
of me, they
sacrifice their time to drive each
other to work or the mall or
home when need be. They sac-
_rifice an ear when someone
needs it, a shoulder when a sis-
ter is upset and a hand when a
sister needs it. They do, Ms.
Choudhry, give themselves up
"for the greater good of the
group," something that is rarely
done in our selfish and individu-
alistic society.
So
I
will leave you with these
lyrics from a not so good song
by Chantal Kreviazuk,
"It

like home to me,
it
feels like
home to me, it feels like
I
am
all
the way back where I belong."

I have been at this school for
four years and there is one main
thing that bas always bothered
me and
I
could never figure out.
This is the quality of the water
system here at Marist. Very sim~
ply, the water in the fountains
around campus taste horrible!
It
is literally unbearable for me
to drink the water because of the
nasty,
dirty
taste of the water.
I
have inquired about this and
I
am always told that Marist has
a filtration system and end the
conversation. . This makes me
extremely angry because I can
riot always afford to have a wa-
ter bottle with me.
I

to worry about

water when

Former news editorgemthelast word
by NIKBONOPARTIS
Red-haired fool
By
the time you're reading
this, I will have left the News
Editor position at The Circle in
the capable hands of Mr. Jeff
Dahncke,
newsman
extroadinaire. It has been a long
semester, one that
has
seen me
get kicked off The Circle'staff,
and for
good
reason. But I'd
like to explain.
Late one night in February,
· Patrick Whittle and I were writ-
-
ing our respective columns for
The Circle
in the Da Vinci lab,
located in Donelly. It
was near-
ing
3·arn,
my head
was
pound-
ing from the caffeine
as
I gritted
my sugar-coated teeth, and the
elated cries of the computer
buffs occupying the Jab, blast-
ing each other away in some
wacked out video game,
started
to irk me. Whittle and I felt it
was high time
to
do something
about
it,
so
I
stood up, ad-
dressed
the Trekkies, and made
my
p,:csence
.known.
I
insulted
their
modems,
their
motherboards, their CPU pro-
cessors, and yes, even their
hard drives. When it was all
said and done theygripped their
Mountain Dew·bottles
•With
white-knuckled fury,and stared
at me with eyes so intense it was
clear that I shouldn't have in-
sulted their hardware. What
came next was completely un-
expected. In a whirlwind of
events, the previously insulted
computer savants hacked into
the
PC I
was
using, planted irre-
pressible evidence, and landed
me in a meeting with the editors-
in--chief,where
I had to explain
where 32,000 downloaded pic-
tures of Gillian Anderson carne
from.
I
tried explaining to them
that it wasn't me, that I was set
up, but they would have none
of it. and I was forced to resign
in shame.
In case you're still reading, ev-
erything I just wrote is a big,
steaming pile of BS. I am writ-
ing
this column as a
goodbye
of
sorts
from the
editor position,
but also to shed some
light
on
the whole newspaper situation
at th1s college.. Which brings
me to my next point,
In the last issue before spring
break, an Op-Ed piece by stu-
dent Kris Hart blasted staff
writer EricDeabill for seemingly
unfounded ignorance on his
part in reporting the facts on
domestic violence and abusive
relationships.
Hart
was vicious,
referring to
Eric as
"the wayward·
Deabill" and accusing him of
ignoring the facts.
Well, "the
wayward Deabill" just hap-
pened to be the single most
reli-
able person on my news staff
the entire semester, the one guy
who consistently got things in
on time, who took the time out
to quote properly, and who
wrote with
careful
attention to
the facts and various aspects of
each story. He's done one hell
of a job, and I hate to see some-
one accuse another of igno-
rance when they themselves
don't take the time out to learn
all the facts. 1 can absolutely
vouch
that
Deabill
put all the
effort
needed into his
story,
and
if
it
didn't meet certain people's
levels of satisfaction; well, this
is a newspaper, not a democratic
composition of articles aimed at
pleasing the pickiest people.
Speaking of,pleasing a1l fac:.
tions .in our collegiate subcul-
ture,
it
has become obvious that
some people
are
a little peeved
with the quality of
The
Circle
in
recent months: I'd again like to
clear up some things so that the
general public here at Maristcan
understand what goes on be-
hind the scenes. The editors at
The
Circle
are
an extremely
dedi-
cated bunch, a group who con-
stantly find themselves perched
in
front· of a computer in the
Lowell Thomas journalism lab
until hours
as
ungodly
as
4
am,
their
eyes
bloodshot from star-
ing at the screen too long, all in
an effort to bring the newspaper
to everyone who is
a
part of
Marist College. It takes count-
. less hours to bring
au
the pieces
together to fonn something
tan-
gible, and
if some mistakes are
made. remember we're human.
Many
of
the editors have
jobs
and internships on top of the
20
or so hours they spend on
The Circle
each week, as well
as their ultimate responsibility
to do well academically as stu-
dents at Marist. So, my point
here
is
this - give them some
slack, and appreciate what we
have. As soon as everyone
stops complaining and begins
to help out, we can have
a
good
time.
.
Finally, the real reason I left
was exactly what
I
touched on
in the previous paragraph.
I
felt
I
couldn't contribute
a11
the
en-
ergy I needed into academics
and
my job
if.I
continued
with
The Circle.
At
the same time,
I
wasn't able to put
all
the, effort
I
should have into the newspa-
per because I was so bogged
down. Sonow,
with
a
little more
free
time,
I
can
get back
to
the
fun
stuff - writing.
I am
now
proud
to join
the likes
of Whittle
in
whining
about random things
in the

Freaks and Geeks, we hardly

internet users ha:ve Nielsen rat-

do possess those little boxes
were the people that your par-

didn't tune in. And now you are

Freaks and Geeks, an hour-
long comedy-drama about high

1980

won much critical acclaim when
· it debuted
last

It was a show
with an interesting premise and
some interesting characters.
The· main character is Lindsay ·
Beir (played by Linda Cardellini).
Lindsay is
an
intelligent girl who
is
at that awkward point
in
her
high
school life that we all face
(well, at least
I did): She is grow-

and wants to change it. So she
starts hanging out with a group
of burn-outs kriown as "the

Geeks, R.I.~
who h_angs out with the
"geeks": Neal Schwieber (Samm
Levine) and Bill Haverchuck
(Martin Starr). The series deals
with ·the "freaks" and the
"geeks" living high school
life.
As you can see,
Freaks and
Geeks has a very interesting and
wonderful premise. Whereas
shows like
Dawson
s
Creek and
the like display high school stu-
dents
as
being glamorous, the
producers of
Freaks and Geeks
chose to depict high school
stll-
dents as they really are: freaky
and geeky. The kids on
Freaks
and Geeks are very much aver-
age-looking
kids,
not
twentysomethings who appear
as
if
they are students by day,
and Neutrogena models by
night.
What also separates
Freaks
and Geeks from the rest of the
bunch is that it deals with is-
sues that you and
I
probably
dealt with in high school. This
is opposed to the unrealistic
soap opera issues (such
asa
girl
with
a boy's name sleeping
with
her ex-boyfriend's best friend)
that are prevalent on other
shows.
Freaks and Geeks was
designed to
be free· of unrealis-
tic teen angst that we.an know
and hate ( except for the WB
network executives, who have
formed a network based on un-
realistic teen angst).
All of this would have been
meaningless, and
Freaks and
Geeks would never have won
so much critical acclaim; if the
writing wasn't so good. The
characters deal with everyday
problems,· and talk realistically
to each other. In fact, the last
episode NBC aired before pull-
ing the plug (the March
20th
episode) dealt with Lindsay
dabbling in marijuana for the
first time. Now, the episode had
the potential to be very preachy,
. as most episodes oftelevision
· shows dealing with drugs or
al-
cohol are. But with a couple of
small exceptions, it wasn't. The
episode was entertaining
throughout.
Another episode of

after helping Neal search for his
father's mistress, he discovers
that his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Beir, have bought him an Atari

not so much because he is
grateful for the Atari, but be-
cause he realizes how lucky he
is to have two loving· parents.

Hardcore Circa 2000
...
byDEENEUNEG
Staff Writer
Hardcore music. The bastion
of ~nderweight youth with lib-
erally pierceq faces, fat
sweathogs with something to
prove, and a whole generation
of kids with nothing better to
do on a Friday night.
Hardcore music began in the
early
l 980s
as an offshoot of the
American punk rock movement.
The music was more aggressive
and the songs (and the hair)
were shorter. Instead of wear-
ing· leather jackets, hardcore
kids carried skateboards. Like
any skater will tell you, the
80s
were when the boards were
·wider and the pants were tighter.
The music was also debatably
better, and I'm not just talking
about the HC, as "the kids"
re-
fer to
it.
Hardcore music has managed
to live on in a somewhat bas-
tardized form in the
I
990s. As
hardcore aficionados ourselves,
my friends and
I
have traveled
to a few hardcore-shows in re-
cent memory, at
The Chance in
Poughkeepie and beyond. En-
joy this brief synopsis of what
· the hardcore music scene has
to
offer, circa
2000.
On March
4,
hardcore took
center stage at the aforemen-
tioned
Chance Theater. Victory
records all-stars
Snapcase·and.
By The.GraceOf Godheadlined
the show, along with support
from Boston's
Cave-In and an
unmentionably bad local yokel
band. Local hardcore bands
make up the core (no pun in-
tended) of the scene, and
it is
unfortunate when
an
area (like
this one) has few respectable
bands.
Cave-In kicked off the their set
with a new sound that
is not rec-
ognizably hardcore at all. Once
an in~your-face "straight-edge"
band with a metal twfst,
Cave-
In now opts for a.sound more
akin to
Rush and Pink Floyd.
Vocalist Steve-In (he made that
up, not me) has to ditch the high
pitched crooning and
Cave-In's
new styl_e will be tolerable.
By The,Grace of God (from
Kentucky) were up next. This
band split up a while back due.
to a founding member's disillu-
. sionment with the current state
of hardcore music. So of course
they decided to play one of their
first shows back together in that
hardcore haven, Poughkeepsie,
NY.
BTGOG play tight, emo-
tional and political hardcore that
harkens back to bands like
Youth of Today, Verbal Assault
and
Endpoint.
I
enjoyed them
thoroughly, and so did much of
the crowd.
Even though
BTGOG preach nonviolence in
their lyrics, kids were destroy-
ing each other on the dance
floor. Nothing like some nice
healthy fun at the expense of
others.
Buffalo, NY's ever-popular
Snapcase headlined the show.
They have released three
full
lengths and two EP's in their
multiyear career, and have es-
tablished themselves as one of
hardcore's best drawing acts.
They ·played a good mix of
songs from their previous
Lookingglassself and Progres-
sion Through Unlearning LP's,
as well
as newer stuff which I
was largely unfamiliar with. As
always,
·snapcase got a hu·ge
crowd response and lefl no one
unhappy. All in all, one ofthe
better shows
I have seen at
The
Chance.
This past weekend, I rounded
up a posse and headed to
Wayne,
NJ, to see
Good Clean
Fun and Atom & His Package
perform. And perform they did.
Opening this show was soine
cheesy pop-punk-esque band
who ply their trade under the
unfortunate
name
of
$parechange. They should
change their name to
Hang
Around
In
The Other Room.
Actually, chances are
if
you see
ever see a flyer in Wayne and
it
says "Plus Locals," that prob-
ably means these guys.
Next on the stage were
Orange
Drop Kid, who
are
fronted by
perhaps the most bizarre indi-
vidual
I
have ever seen outside
of a psyche ward. Think Urkle.
Think schizophrenia. Think
scary. The music? Think
crappy.
· .· Hot Rod Circuit brought on
the rock n' roll next. They play
a style of melodic "emo" that
some love and some abhor.
"Emo" is a fancy way of saying
emotional· hardcore, which l
have always felt pretty lame,
since music by design is emo-
tional.
Hot Rod Circuit on the
other hand were not as lame as
said moniker, and should appeal
to
fans
of
The Get
Up
Kids.
Atom & His Package brought
his musical musings to the stage
next.
If
you are unfamiliar with
Atom, he brings new dimensions
to the idea
of
"music." He is a
Jewish fella from Philadelphia
who programs silly keyboard
melodies on
a
Casio sampler (his
"package") and sings absurd
songs over the top, occasion-
ally adding some guitar. As you
can probably guess, the music
is decidedly un-hardcore,
but
"the kids" love
it.
How can you
not love it with songs like "Hats
Off to Halford," (about the out-
of-the-closet former
Judas
Priest front man), "People in the
Computer Lab Should Shut the
Hell Up," (Marist people should
be mandated to listen to that
one) and "Me and My Black
Metal Friends:?" The man's cre-
ativity, wit, and willingness
to
make a fool of himself in public
night after night are classic.
Check 'em out.
Good
Clean Fun arrived late
and played a short set.
GCF's
intention
is to "put the 'HA'
back in 'hardcore,' and
a
noble
intention it is. They rival
Atom
in their song-title-writing ability,
wich tunes like ''Loser Dot Com,"
"Shopping for a Crew," and
"What would Zeus do." Check
out their new debut
full
length,
On the Streets ... , in stores no-
where now. They play
fast,
posi-
tive, hysterical hardcore that's
sure to have you laughing in no
time.
GCF fights a bad mood
like Tylenol fights a headache,
only it actually works rather
than developing you a danger-
ous chemical addiction.
Bored with typical college life'?
Tired of the soulless, emotion-
less pap on commercial radio
and MTV? Need to develop a
new, positive outlook on life?
Take up Ultimate Frisbee. But
if
there's nothing to do on a Fri-
day night, why not check out a
hardcore show: circa
2000.

WMCR broadcas~live
sports
even~
byMIKEFERRARO
Sports Editor
The
1999-2000
school year
could best
be described as one
of unprecedented growth for
WMCR.
On Sunday, March
26,
WMCR had
its first live broad-
cast of a sports event.
It
took
place from Leonidoff Field, as
the Marist men's lacrosse team
hosted Mt. St. Mary's (MD),
a
contest the visitors won by
an
11-Scount.
The game broadcast capped
a historical weekend for WMCR.
The station had broadcast live
bands from the Cabaret as part
of
Unity
Day on Saturday.
WMCR Sports Director
Mike Koller stated his pleasure
with the station's new capabili-
ties.
"I'm
extremely excited that
our college radio station has the
ability to broadcast remote
· events from outside the studio
such
as
Unity Day and games,"
Koller said.
·
Koller made certain to single
out one person for the station's
growth.
.
"My;~ongratulations go out
to Ian Philbrick, the general
man-
ager," Koller said. "He's really
turned it upside down. Jbe sta-
tion has been like night and day
from last year."
While Philbrick acknowl-
edged the station's grow~. he
also deflected some of the at-
tention
away
from himself.
"The station has made
progress,
but
it's
not just me,"
Philbrick said. "Everyone
in-
volved has been a great help.»
WMCR
was able to
fulfill
its
longtime goal of broadcasting
due to Philbrick's recent acqui-
sition of a remote mixer.
According to Philbrick, the
job of the remote mixer is to take
the signal from the microphones
and then convert it to. a signal
compatible with the phone lines.
Then, the station's extension
can be dialed from it, -and the
audio from the microphone is
sent over the phone line. The
sound is picked up by a machine
.that reverses the entire process
so s.ound can go over the air-·
waves.
Previously, WMCR had cov-
ered games on a tape-delay ba-
sis. The prospect of covering
ga.rnes live h~s excited the
station's announcers.
Geoff Rejent was the play-by-
play announcer for Sunday's
lacrosse game.
"It was
an
excellent experi-
ence;
I
really enjoyed
it," Rejent
said.
"It
will help bring the
ra-
dio station into the forefront at
Marist. ·I'd surely like to thank
Mike and
Ian for
making this
possible."
WMCR is making plans to
cover some ba.seball games on
weekends this season. The sta-
tion is covering the first game
of a doubleheader against St.
Peter's this Saturday, Apr.
L
The game starts
at noon.
WMCR is also planning
baseball broadcasts
for
games
on Saturday, April 22 (against
Iona), Sunday, April
30
(Man-
hattan), and Sunday, May
7
(Siena). The Siena game will
be.
Senior Day.
The live sports programming
will
be pre-empting ,regularly
scheduled shows on WMCR:
As
a resuit, broadcasts are be~
ing limited to weekends.
. .•
Koller said that the crew for
the broadcasts
will
consist of
a
play-by-play announcer, a color
analyst, a technician, and a tech::
nical assistant. Koller plans to
use his most. experienced and
knowledgeable people to
fiU.
these jobs.

·
Sunday's lacrosse broadcast
was· the first sports broad9ast
heard live over WMCR. How~
ever, it was not WMCR's first
experience calling live actjon.
Earlier in the year, the station's
sports department called the ..
women's basketball games over

The advent of spring can mean
only one thing for a sports fan:
March Madness is winding
down and the. baseb.all season
is beginning. In the American.
League there,are only a handful
of teams that have a shot atmak-
ingthe playoffs.
.
Baseball's most prolific team
ever, the New York Yankees, is
the winner of
three out of the
last fourworld championships,
including the last two.
The team has not changed that
much with the exception of age,
which is especially noticeable in
their starting pitching. Roger
Clemens, Orlando Hernandez,
and David Cone are all in their
mid-to-late thirties.
Although their age is a prob-
lem, the Yankees
still
have the
most reliable starting pitching in
the American League. The
bullpen
is
one of the best in
all
of baseball, including Mariano
'Rivera, the game's premier closer.
Their offense is still one of the·
best led. by Derek Jeter and
Bernie Williams. There will be
no
Darryl Strawberry
this
year,
due to his inability to curb his
drug addictions.
However, this should not pro-
pose a problem as the Yankees
have Jim Leyritz and prospect
Nick
Johnson who can fill the
designate(l hitter role.
The Boston Red Sox essen-
tially have two superstars on
their team, Pedro Martinez and
Nomar Garciaparra .. After them
they do not !lave a lot of great
players, just good players.
In an effort to improve them-
selves the Red Sox traded
for
Carl Everett. Everett had a
breakout year last season in
Houston where he hit .325 and
clubbed
25 home runs while
drivirig
in
108.
With his addi-
tion the Red Sox have found ·
some protection for Garciaparra
The Toronto Blue Jays traded
for head case· Raul Mondesi in
the off season because they
could not sign their talented
star
Shawn Green. Expect an-
.other big season from Carlos
Delgado. The key to this team
will
be if their young starting
pitching
can
first
continue to
develop and two remain
healthy.
Moving
to
the Central 'divi-
sion,
it
is a foregone conclu-
sion that the Cle.veland Indians
will once again win the division.
They signed Chuck Finley in
an attempt to give ·themselves
some more depth at starting
pitching for their run in the play-
offs. Paul Shuey must prove
that he can handle the closer's

went into hibernation periodi-
cally last year. Luis Gonzalez,
Jay Bell, and Matt Williams had
career years, and
all
odds are
against them putting those kind·
of numbers up again.
If they fall asleep, they could
be
OV<?rtaken.
L.A. -
The Dodgers are argu-
ably the most talented team in
the West. Kevin Brown heads
an above average staff that can·
get ,the job done.
Gary Sheffield is on a mission,
Shawn Greeri is home, and Todd
Hundley
is
looking good behind
the plate.
Now if only they can get past
this chemistry thing.

news as he makes every bat in

Ellis
Burks could re-
turn to 40 HR territory if he can

. Their starting pitching is
· shaky, but this is Dusty Baker's
team, and Dusty always finds a·
way to win .
· Playoff predictions - Who
cares? Atlanta will take the
NL
role from a mental standpoint,
for his physical part will not be
a problem. ·. Jaret Wright must
bounce back from
a
rough year.
The West division will come
down to two teams the young
Oakland A's and the veteran
Texas
Rangers.
Look for the A's to make the ·
playoffs,
for the Rangers lost
more thari they gained in the off
season.
In
trading Juan
Gonzalez, the Rangers got a lot
of young players; Gabe Kapler
included, but ones that are not
quite ready to fill the void left
by Gonzalez.
Also, the Rangers lost Aaron
Sele, their best pitcher from a
year ago and replaced him with
Kenny Rogers. They would
have improved themselves more
if
they replaced him with Kenny
Rogers the singer.
On the other hand, the A's
young
talent proved themselves
last year.
Tim
Hudson, Eric
Chavez, Miguel Tejada, and Ben
Grieve, compliment the veteran
players Jason Giambi,JohnJaha,
· Kevin Appier, and Matt Stairs
very well. Ultimately pitching
will be the key forthem.
In the end, the New York Yan-
kees will win their third straight
World Series and their twenty-
.sixth overall.
