If the ongoing American-Iraqi crisis were turned into a novel, University students would not be able to write an ending. The ongoing American-Iraqi drama, which recently produced sparks, has deep historical roots even older than the United States. Jackie Melander has taken many pictures of fraternity houses during the past few months -- not because she's a photo buff, but because it's part of her job. Undergraduate Student Government President Rob Kampia has combined campus activist groups to form a new committee.
Although Ohio State reigned victorious over the weekend, the men's track team is making headway in its quest to become a force among the Big Ten powerhouses. As Billy Crystal might say, "You look marvelous." And marvelous is the only way to describe the women's track team's performance Friday and Saturday at the Terrier Classic in Boston. "No matter what those teams tried to do," Icers Coach Joe Battista said after successfully completing this weekend's road trip, "it hasn't mattered. We just keep finding ways to win." The men's gymnastics team started with a bang but finished with a whimper in Saturday night's 268.6 to 250.85 thrashing of Pittsburgh. At least Women's Gymnastics Coach Steve Shephard is keeping his sense of humor in the face of the Lady Lions' balance beam woes. When a team wins the first two games in a best-of-five match, the odds of winning usually increase in the favor of that team. Saturday's meet against Yale and Pennsylvania in New Haven, Conn., was supposed to be a stepping stone for the Lion fencers. It was a day for the seniors to enjoy, but you would be hard pressed to find any member of the women's swim team who didn't have a good time on Saturday. One and one-third seconds. That's how close the men's swimming and diving team came to pulling off a stunning upset over the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. In a sense, Penn State got taken to the cleaners. Pressed liked a wrinkled suit, the Lions were steamed 75-68 by Wisconsin's relentless full-court trap on Saturday in front of 7,142 fans in Rec Hall. The new rankings have not come out yet, but the wrestling team continues to show everyone that it is deserving of the No. 1 ranking. Women's Basketball Coach Rene Portland has always said that winning league road games will be a key if her Lady Lions hope to contend for the Big Ten title. Stu Jackson, the Wisconsin men's basketball coach, sat at the head of a small room inside Rec Hall Saturday afternoon, looking amazingly at ease for someone whose team had just edged out a pesky Penn State squad 75-68, just 15 minutes earlier.
