USG debate yields answers not insults
The HUB Fishbowl was filled with a few different faces not affiliated with campaigns last night as the last Undergraduate Student Government presidential debate took place.

USG debate yields answers not insults
There is nothing cool about the HUB. Its flattened Howard Johnson's architecture lets us in on the big joke. Its massive structure holds cheap, greasy eats and a cheap, greasy Undergraduate Student Government office. And in between you have constant, paralyzing swarms of hungry pack rats who make butting in line an art form.

Liddy creates own solutions
"Run for the hills liberals," according to a sign hanging in Waring Commons, "G. Gordon Liddy is coming." Liddy spoke last night in Eisenhower Auditorium and, yes, he welcomed liberals as well as conservatives.

Bochna lifts slugger offense
The 1-0 fastball left the hand of Ohio State's Gary Fragle, and in an instant, went screaming over the center-field wall. Lion Derek Bochna had just summed up his whole series against the Buckeyes with a game-winning two-run home run in the bottom of the 12th inning.

Questioning the call
After three-straight shutout victories, it is easy to forget just how competitive tennis can be.

Lions out of NIT
NEW YORK -- Time ran out on the NIT's version of the comeback kids.

Trailing by 14 points with 2 minutes, 23 seconds remaining, the men's basketball team staged its fourth-consecutive dramatic comeback in the National Invitation Tournament here at Madison Square Garden last night.

Pair gives show
NEW YORK -- It seems only fitting that a sophomore guard would be the one who could ultimately seal last night's contest.

With about 13 minutes left in the men's lacrosse game Sunday against the gutsy Drexel Dragons, Lion Coach Glenn Thiel needed somebody to make a big play. He had to look no further than his attack tandem of Greg Jackson and Erik Merkel.

Ramblings on the Sportsworld
Is there anything better than sitting in the bleachers on a warm spring afternoon watching baseball? It was a bit cold when the Lion baseball team took on Ohio State at Beaver Field this weekend, and they don't sell beer at the concession stand, but it is definitely still worth the price of admission -- which is free.

Kalliope showcases local poetry
Ellen Sue Spicer sat at a tall, maple table with a steaming cup of hot chocolate and chatted nervously, with chair turned toward the small, softly lit stage. She tried to peer through heads to get a better view as the tables behind her quickly filled up.

Money to shake up Sy Barash Regatta

Fairmount Ave. Delta Gamma sorority, 10 Shulze, is co-sponsoring the event. The event is in memory of Sy Barash -- a founder of the regatta who lost his life to cancer in 1975.

Living, learning on the 'Net
Shoulders hunched over his desk, his face reflects the blue, emanating ultraviolet rays as his eyes remain wide and fixed on the computer screen. His fingers tap vigorously for a few seconds on the keyboard, then there is silence. Without opening his mouth, without moving, he acknowledges the screen, the information with a grunt.

Exposure eludes student artists
