Explosion at refinery kills one, injures three Associated Press what caused the fire and explo
WHITING, Ind. -One worker was killed and three others were seriously injured by asphalt tar that burned through their clothing Sunday following an explosion and fire at an Amoco Oil Co. refinery, authorities said.
Two of the injured were in critical condition with thirddegree burns over at least 60 percent of their bodies, said Dr. Michael Pepper, an emergency room physician at St. Catherine's Hospital in East Chicago.
"They were covered with tar from their heads down to the tips of their toes. We had to cut all their clothes off with a cast saw," Pepper said.

Sims said said the fire began about 2 p.m. CST and was brought under control by the refinery's firefighting crew within about half an hour.
"The fire has been contained in one small area of the refinery and no outside assistance was necessary. We have had one fatality," Sims said.

Major merger with Kraft will be biggest non-oil merger Associated Press
NEW YORK -Kraft Inc. said Sunday it had agreed to a $13.1 billion buyout by Philip Morris Cos. Inc., ending a short but intense takeover fight in the biggest merger ever between two non-oil U.S. companies.
In a joint statement, the two food giants said they reached a definitive agreement in which Philip Morris would pay $106 cash for each of Kraft's outstanding shares.
If completed, the merger would be second in size only to the $13.3 billion acquisition of Gulf Oil Corp. by Chevron Corp., in 1984.
The agreement comes just five days after Kraft, which is based in Glenview, Ill., said it would negotiate with Philip Morris only if the tobacco and consumer products company raised its initial $90 a share buyout offer to equal the value of a defensive restructuring proposed by Kraft.
Kraft on Oct. 23 rejected Philip Morris' initial offer as inadequate, and unveiled a restructuring it said would pay its shareholders $110 a share in
cash and securities, but also would heap $12.4 billion in new debt on the company.
"Our shareholders are receiving full value, and this

IN BRIEF Halloween is Jayne Ware's time to howl, so to speak, because it's about the only time of year she finds a big audience for talk about her line of work: ghostbusting. The vanity license plate on her van says "GHOSTBUS," and her business card says "Granny Ghostbuster" alongside 'Parapsychologist." For most of the year, Mrs. Ware says she does serious investigation at the request of people who have "unexplainable happenings" in their buildings. But around Halloween, "people usually expect me to make a fun thing out of it, so I go along with the idea," she said, laughing. "These are about the only two weeks of the year I talk about 'ghosts.' The rest of the year, during research and for lecture purposes, I prefer to call them 'energies' or 'vortexes."' -Associated Press

INSIDE COLUMN
Halloween has taken on an evil meaning
Halloween... a night for investigating the "dark side" of life. It's a night on which groups of people get together to swap horror stories visit graveyards, and hold seances with th~ hopes of contacting the dead or not-so-dead. The facination with the unexplained and the unknown has become an integral part of what happens on this holiday. However, it was not always this way in the past.
The word "Halloween", which stems from the word "All Hallows Eve", began as a night in which the deceased heros and loved ones were remembered and their lives were celebrated. The tradition of the time was to act out the many adventures of their lives by dressing up as the hero and putting on skits describing the battles and bravery of their lives. This was continued to the next day, "All Saint's Day", in which the faithful would celebrate the saints which had devoted their lives to the service of God.
As time went on, the evil characters became just as prominent as the heroes and soon practical jokes took place among the children. The now popular form of trick-or-treating was a method of quelling the children and keeping the mischeif to a minimum. However, as the adults began to join the more mystic activities, the evil side of the evening became popular.
Today, the facination with evil has become an everyday occurrence in books, magazines, and filmmaking. Writers such as Stephen King explore horrifying events which would normally seem impossible, but after reading his works seem to be happening just around the corner. Horror magazines including "Fangora", showing monsters and victims with a great deal of blood and guts, are found on most bookstore shelves. The most famous of all media displaying this is the motion picture. Billions of dollars are made each year on mindless flicks starring ghouls, goblins, ghosts, lunatic axe murderers, aliens from outer space, and even usually harmless animals such as birds, ants, frogs, and most ordinary house pets.
If all of this is mere fantasy, then why is the subject is so popular?
It has to do with the "dark side" within all of us. This is the same force which makes you wa~t to jump when looking over a high ledge, or ride the highest, fastest roller coaster in the world. This adventurous spirit creates an adrenalin high which can be just as good and just as addicting as most drugs.

Seeing a movie in which every minute most people would be frightened to a near-death point can show off your courage, bring others closer, and boost your ego without actually risking your life. However, it seems that most of today's movies deal so much with reality that paranoia is an evident result.
The last reason has to do with mere curiosity. The unknown usually does not stay unknown for long because of this instinctive feeling. We hold seances to see if ghosts do exist and to learn if contact with dead spirits is possible. We also explore the possiblities of monsters of this world or some other in the hopes that all species are not yet accounted for.
As an adult, looking at the way Halloween is today, I feel that the true meaning of the night has been lost, but that the fun of the celebration has not been lost. There are still costumes which depict courageous heros and beautiful princesses, and cute little boys and girls, dressed as pumpkins and cowboys, who still enjoy the mystery and magic of Halloween in the sense it was meant to be when the tradition first began.

Marcos on trial in US for stealing Associated Press
NEW YORK -Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos arrived by luxury jet and limousine along with her entourage Sunday to face arraignment on federal charges she and her husband looted their homeland of $100 million.
The Marcoses were indicted Oct. 21 on charges they embezzled more than $100 million and used it to buy New York real estate, art and other property. If convicted on the main racketeering charge, they could receive up to 20 years in prison.
Defense lawyers convinced U.S. district Judge John Keenan that Marcos, 71, was too frail to make the 9-hour flight. His arraignment was postponed at least until a government physician examines him.
Defense lawyers have said Mrs. Marcos, 59, would plead innocent.
Willy Paderon said Marcos, whose 20-year rule was ended by a military-civilian revolt that lifted Corazon Aquino to power, was abandoned by the United States.
'We wanted to show Mrs. Marcos and President Marcos that there are Filipinos who still support them," Paderon said. "I hope they will be vindicated of all these politically motivated charges that are coming left and right."

Ghosts roaming Cline Ave. in Ind. Associated Press
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. -Years ago a woman's two children drowned along the banks of the Calumet River. Now her spirit returns each Halloween to search, but she never seems to find them.
So goes one version of the story of the Cline A venue Ghost, who, along with a different apparition known as the Cudahy Ghost, roams a popular haunting strip along Cline Avenue.
Charlie Tinkham, a 59-yearold Hammond resident and professor at Purdue University-Calumet, said there are several versions of why these ghouls continue to stalk one of Indiana's most dangerous highways.
Another version portrays the ghost as a broken-hearted soul who supposedly went to the river to kill herself.
Yet another adaptation has the ghost nagging her husband so incessantly to return to their old neighborhood in West Gary that he killed and buried her there.
And then there's the other spirit that haunts Cline Avenue.
Every year a crowd ranging from dozens to hundreds gathers near the Calumet River west of Cline A venue to spot the Cudahy Ghost, Tinkham said.
This spirit, also a woman, was supposed to have taken a taxi ride to a Mexican neighborhood in East Chicago sometime around Halloween of 1966. The cabdriver took her to the address and, after dropping her off, realized she hadn't paid her fare.
He returned to where he'd left her. But the matronly lady answering the door denied seeing his passenger. She later brought out a photo of her daughter, which the cabbie recognized as his passenger.
"She's been dead for years," said the woman.
Tinkham said the tellers of this story always claim it's true.
"The truth is that there are stories like this in every major American city," he said. "It's a very popular urban legend "

Service enhances a theology class Editor's Note: Students interested in taking Theology and Community Service should go to the Center for Social Concerns to pick up a learning Agreement before Nov. 7. There will be a meeting for all interested students on Monday, Nov. 7 at 4:15p.m. at the CSC.
It is special when a student has a chance to take a class that offers a new way of thinking about the world and the people in it. Even more rare is the opportunity to participate in a class which stimulates change in the way a student reacts to his or her environment. As difficult as these classes are to find, Notre Dame offers one in particular that has given its students the chance to develop and cultivate more than book learning. This class enables a student to experience the chapters of text and incorporate the ideas into weekly tests of values, faith, and incorporate love. The class to which I am referring is Theology and Community Service, and the type of knowledge the student leaves the class with is invaluable.
Laura Shemer guest column
Hearing the name, Theology and Community Service, one is hardpressed to find a relationship strong enough to merit a semester course. Once the general terms are described, however, it becomes easy to understand the complimentarity of the two. The community service involved
in the course is a a 45-minute visit to two residents of a South Bend nursing home per week. No regulations bind the visitor to certain procedures during their visits. Instead the students are provided with creative freedom for whatever activity they think would most enhance the relationship with their "old person." Often times this includes playing bingo or cards, sharing photos and anecdotes about each other's families, or just sitting and holding hands. The emphasis of the community service aspect is for the student to serve his or her elderly person in whatever capacity they need, while concentrating on how it feels to be effective and ineffective in fulfilling the "old person's" needs.
Now the theology part. What does it mean to be a Christian? Many would argue that simply attending weekly liturgy is all that God demands of those professing to be Christian. But what sort of example do we see in the Bible through Jesus? Certainly not one who is just regurgitates a listing of guidelines by which to live. Jesus was a man of action. He befriended, supported, and guided many of the most despised people of his time. Instead of reciting rhetoric to closed ears, Jesus showed how to live as a good person and not just how to act like one. Through his example, we can learn how to better ourselves, how to befriend, support, and guide a group of people who need it most in our time, the elderly.
The subject matter of the class is difficult for the average twenty year old student to look straight in the eye. In the most vibrant, vital years of one's life, it is often difficult to think about-and sometimes debilitating to deal with--issues of the elderly and dying. As students in an especially active university, it is thought morbid and depresSing to consider what it's like to be old, to live in a nursing home, or to be facing an impending death. Each student comes into class with his or her own experiences and concerns, making them strong in some areas and weak in others. The starting point for each student is acknowledged and reflection in these areas often times helps the student to place fears aside and to refocus on the helping aspect of the class.
In addition to the visits, the class meets to discuss theological issues raised in readings and in the interactions with "old people." A wide variety of topics ranging from the grace of God to Jesus as a Servant are discussed not only in the framework of theological readings, but also in terms of what that means for us, as humans. This aspect of the course also raises issues which are as unique as the student who comes to the class. Some doubt the place of God--or even God's existence--in their own lives. Many question their faith when it seems our "ever-loving" God seems to play cruel tricks on us. There are students who question the form of God in which they want to believe. A wide variety of topics is brought to each
P.O. Box Q ND represses
religious diversity Dear Editor:
The year of cultural diversity is one of the most important developments in recent Notre Dame history. Everyone on campus should profit enormously from the efforts being made.
There is, however, one curious omission from the program. That is the whole are of religion which, in America certainly, is one of the most important areas of cultural diversity. I find it most strange that this vital area of diversity has been blanked out entirely whereas other universities take it most seriously.
Doonesbury
At another church-related university (Emory) there is a kosher counter in the dining halls to make Jewish students feel welcome, yet nowhere at Notre Dame is kosher food available. Black Muslims now constitute the third largest religious group in the American military forces, yet nowhere is there a suitably oriented prayer room on campus. The religious needs of about 800 Notre Dame students are disregarded in the sense of providing chapel or office space for religious leaders. Yet Brandeis University, a predominantly Jewish school, has built a chapel on campus for Catholic students. And many other church-related universities make such space available to other Christian and Jewish
chaplaincies. Must we persist in this ghetto-like
avoidance of the most important of cultural diversities? It is this attitude that makes Notre Dame so oppressive a place for non-Catholics. I hope this attitude can change within the University as it has within American culture at large.

class meeting allowing for supportive, yet challenging, questions of what it means to be "good Christians."
Theology and Community Service asks many unsettling questions. The nature of the questions requires that each student reflects within herself and reach for a greater understanding of who God is to her and what that means for her life. The pondering and questioning makes each student vulnerable as she or he exposes weaknesses or fears, but the atmosphere of the small group discussion, provided in class time, allows for sensitive and respectful support and guidance.
It is understood that each person has a unique opinion and insight into the question of God and the elderly, and it is understood that the way we develop as students and as people is to share those feelings without fear of reprisal or of being ostracized. On the contrary, the class nurtures the development of individual nuances in each person's theology and respects that difference. Not every question is answered or every fear allievated, but for the student willing to take the risk of facing the questions, the outcome can be a positive change to a closer relationship to God andlor oneself. When considering the meaning of this sort of peace, it is no surprise that this class is a special one to the University.

Monsters of Rock jam at JACC PAUL PILGER
accent writer
H alloween festivities got started a wee bit early as
this summer's Monsters of Rock headliners took the stage last night at the Joyce ACC. In the spirit of the holiday, Van Hal en brought Notre Dame a monster of its own in the form of a ferocious two hour rock'n'roll show.
Though the band had been playing to crowds of more
than 30,000 over the summer months, they looked right at home in the small basketball arena. Lead vocalist Sammy Hagar sang, shouted, and sometimes screamed out the lyrics to tunes from Van Halen's latest albums, 5150 and OU812, as well as the few songs that remain in the live set from the David Lee Roth era, like "Panama" and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love".
Hagar also performed an acoustic version of his song,
The Obserwr I Zoltan Ory
Eddie Van Halen aolos for an excited crowd at the JACC .
"Eagles Fly," which fit surprisingly well into Van Halen's riveting, 90 decibal show. And, late in the show, Hagar admitted once again, "I Can't Drive 55."
Drummer Alex Van Halen has a speeding problem as well. Throughout the evening, he displayed what might be the quickest and surest double-bass footwork in the realm of rock drumming. Certainly, OU812 includes some of Alex Van Halen's hottest drum licks (or "Allicks") yet recorded, and last night his solo, during which his entire set was elevated above the stage, highlighted his superior playing.
As for the other half of the rhythm section, bassist Michael Anthony held down the heavy back beat while supplying high, backing vocals. For the encore (which included "You Really Got Me," "Girl Gone Bad," and "Rock'n'Roll"), Anthony brought out his bass guitar shaped like a Jack Daniels bottle, which gave the crowd something else to cheer about.
For anyone wondering if Eddie Van Halen's visit to the Betty Ford Clinic earlier this year has effected his playing, it hasn't. He gave a typically 'Eddie' performance, leaping into the air for scissor kicks

and splits, and soloing with the OU812 album had more absolute precision as a ciga- drive and raw energy than rette burned at the end of his the selections from 5150.

Washington Hall haunted by mystery ghost JULIE RYAN
accent writer
You are walking through Washington Hall late at
night, when all of a sudden, the lights go out. You're afraid of the dark. You want to light a candle, but you're afraid of fire. You hear the stairs creak, a horn blow, a toilet flush, but no one is there. It's Halloween 1988, and it's back--the ghost of Washington Hall.
There are many ideas of who this ghost could be:
* The ghost of George Gipp, who slept on the stairs of Washington Hall the night before he contracted the disease that killed him.
"' A steeplejack who fell to his death from a loft in the roof when building the hall in 1886.
* A cavalry soldier who was killed and buried on the hallowed burial grounds where the campus is today.
Throughout the years there have been many accounts of the ghost. In 1946, locked doors were reportedly opening and slamming. There were footsteps heard on the
Calvin and Hobbes
roof and a ghostly figure was seen.
The strangest account of a ghost sighting was by Pio Montenegro. He saw a ghost with a phantom horse mounting the steps to the second floor on the southside of the building.
In an effort to put the ghost stories to rest, in 1968, four Notre Dame juniors went on a ghosthunt. One of the students disguised himself as George Gipp, in a white sheet and football helmet. The others took pictures of him on the stage.
The ghost's footsteps reverberated, sounding like a heartbeat. Suddenly, the lights went out. Two of the students tried to turn on the lights, but they couldn't because a force held the switch down.
The students heard creaking steps and saw a flash of light before racing out of Washington Hall. One student commented on the experience saying, "Something does exist. We all saw something in there."
The last recorded correspondence with the ghost was
in 1985. A group of students gathered on the stage in Washington Hall with a ouiji board. They asked the ghost, "Do you want to speak to us?" The reply was, "No. Goodbye."
Professor Syburg, from the Notre Dame communication and theater department confirmed that there were odd happenings in Washington Hall. Living there as a student, Syburg remembers
Bill Watterson
toilets flushing by themselves and footsteps creaking up the stairs as he stood at the top.
Syburg agreed that, "The building is old, and it does creak alot. But there were other strange things. I would leave my keys hanging in the lock on the door and all of a sudden they would start swinging by themselves."
Tom Barkes, manager of Washington Hall, is skeptical about the ghost sightings, even though he has had an experience of his own. He explains that it was in his imagination and had nothing to do with the building.
Barkes was walking through the hall, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a girl dressed from the 1960's. She had long hair and wore wild colored clothes. But when he turned his head for a closer look, she was gone.
Barkes is still doubtful
about the whole situation, "No self- respecting 107 year old theater should be without its ghost stories. Theater is magic to begin with, so it is a natural place for stories." Barkes said.
Professor Nevert, of the sceneography department in Washington Hall, agreed with Barkes. "Most good theaters are haunted. It's a place where the human spirit is celebrated," Nevert said.
But this doesn't stop Reginald Bain, chairman of the communications and theater department, from hunting for clues to solve the mystery of the ghost of Washington Hall.
Students are just as curious about this ghost. Every year on Halloween, a group holds a seance on the stage in the auditorium, hoping to see the ghost. Perhaps this year they'll be lucky?

Dilucia wins singles title at Fallon Invitational By BOB MITCHELL Sports Writer
This weekend at Notre Dame's Eck Tennis Pavilion, members of the Irish men's tennis team payed tribute to former head coach Tom Fallon the only way they knew how-they won. The Irish posted a 15-8 overall record in the Tom Fallon-Notre Dame Invitational; 5 of the 15 victories were earned by freshman Dave DiLucia.
Notre Dame placed participants in both the A singles and doubles final matches and DiLucia captured the A singles title.
A good indicator of a team is what the opposition thinks of you. Wiscons on head coach, Pat Klingelhoets spoke highly of both the Irish squad and the quality of the tournament.
"It is a very well run and good tournament," said Klingelhoets, coach of the chanmpionship doubles team. "Notre Dame has improved a lot and they are going to do some damage in the future."
"I mixed it up a lot and tried to serve and volley as much as possible," said DiLucia. ''The support of my teammates and friends helped tremendously.'' ''When I felt like giving up, they gave me strength".
The other Irish competitors were determined to do their own part. Brian Kalbas lost in the second round to eventual semi-finalist John Noble of Ball State, 6-2, 6-2. Kalbas played for 9 hours on Friday and the "tank was on empty", according to Bayliss.
Walter Dolhare, in the A draw,fell to finalist Mark Leschly of Harvard, 6-1, 6-3.
page 9
....
Dolhare, a junior transfer from Austin Peay, defeated an excellent opponent, Brian Uilhein in the second round, 4-6, 7-6(7-5), 6-0. Odland, the biggest suprise of the fall season, lost to Scott Hulse in the B draw, 6-7,(2-7), 7-6(7-5), 6-4.
In the doubles competition, the Irish accumulated a 5-3 record. Notre Dame number-one duo of Dave DiLucia-Walter Dolhare advanced to the finals. Yet, they lost in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2 to Wisconsion's No.2 team of Nelson-Schwartz.

Junior wing Tim Kuehl and the Notre Dame hockey team rebounded from an 8-3 loss to defeat Rochester Institute of Technology 3-2 In overtime Saturday night at the Joyce ACC. Steve Megargee details the turnaround beginning on page 12.
RIT continued form page 12 on the Kleis goal.
Notre Dame extended its lead to 2-0 with a power play goal just four minutes later. Matt Hanzel received a pass from Tim Kuehl on the right circle and beat RIT goalie Fred Abraham for the second score.
But RIT came back to tie the game in the first six minutes of the third period on goals by
Todd Person and Jim Regan. The game stayed that way
until a short and frantic overtime. Each team had opportunties to score in the first minute of the 10-minute sudden death overtime period, but only the Irish took advantage.
RIT had three men in front of Notre Dame goalie Lance Madson, but the Tigers failed to convert. In a matter of seconds, Notre Dame's Bob Herber was flying down the right side with the puck. He

passed left to Bruce Guay, who shot past Abraham just 42 seconds into overtime.
Madson recorded 32 saves for Notre Dame, while RIT's Abraham turned back 24 Irish shots.
"There was much less room to roam on the ice," RIT firstyear coach Buddy Powers said. "Our guys were consistently picked up and covered. Last night, we we got a lot of second chances at goals, but tonight they did a better job of clearing out."
Irish continued from page 12
ol the three Notre Dame touchdowns. "When you don't relax, you start thinking about things a little bit more than you normally do."
The Irish offense could muster only two lengthy touchdown drives, of 68 and 67 yards,

relatively unproductive. The Irish lost two fumbles, one by Tony Brooks in the second quarter that made Holtz leery of calling the pitch the

RIT certainly did have plenty of chances to score in Friday's game, which opened the Tigers' season. RIT was particulary adept at cashing in on those opportunities in the second period, when the Tigers scored six times to break open a game Notre Dame had led.
Notre Dame's Bob Bilton scored the only goal of the first period, on assists by Kevin Patrick and Guay. RIT's Regan scored in the first minute of the second period, but
remainder of the game and another by Green in the fourth. Three times the Irish ran only three plays and punted.
The Navy defensive line consistently penetrated into the Irish backfield, beating the Irish off the line of scrimmage. The offensive line, a question mark at the beginning of the season, has been hurting lately because of injuries.
"I think we lost a unity factor today," said guard Tim Grunhard, who did not play Saturday. "There's been a shuffling going around. The offense runs on consistency and streaks and we didn't get ourselves on a consistent streak today. I'm
Notre Dame regained the lead when Kuehl scored at 8:00 of the period.
From then on, it was all RIT. The Tigers scored three times in a span of three minutes during the middle of the period, then scored twice more to take a 6-2lead into the third period.
"We had far too many miscues and far too many giveaways, but I think this underlies that we are not a highly skilled team," Schafer said after Friday's game.
glad we got it out of our system."
Heading into this season, Holtz expressed concern about the depth and experience of the Irish offensive line.
The line answered the question marks in opening season wins over Michigan and Michigan State. Grunhard says the offensive line won't be forced into answering the same questions again.
"I think it's going to be easy to get up (against Rice)," he said. "We have to play our football to beat them. We're not just going to lay our helmet on the field and beat them."

Irish volleyball wins international battle with LSU By MOLLY MAHONEY Sports Writer
The Notre Dame women's volleyball team took on more than the Louisiana State tigers last Saturday night.
The Fighting Irish faced an international contingent of players from Brazil, Turkey, Sweden and Canada--all trying to prove they could put up a fight against the Irish.
Notre Dame, now 12-9, won a hard-fought four-game match 14-16, 15-13, 15-5 and 15-10, but not before the Tigers and Brazilian Monica Freitas made the Irish work for every point.
In the first game, Notre Dame and LSU exhanged points and side outs until the Irish managed to grab their largest lead of the game at 10-6. Seniors Mary Kay Waller and Zanette Bennett and sophomore Tracey Shelton all bombarded the Tigers with a series of kills and service aces.
But the Irish could not maintain their momentum, as the Tigers turned the four-point

down reception. The Irish settled for a 29-yard field goal by Ho and a 16-0 halftime lead.
"Fortunately, our defense was ready to compete and really played well,'' said Holtz, "because every time we tried to get something going on offense we had a penalty or something. We didn't have any kind of continuity.''
Whatever Holtz told his team at halftime had an immediate effect when the teams took the field for the second half. After receiving the kickoff, the Irish went 67 yards on seven running plays, capped off by Ryan Mihalko's one-yard burst for the score. But Tony Brooks' attempt for two points off left tackle fell inches short of the goal line, leaving the score 22-0.
After four fruitless possessions, two for each team, Navy received the ball on the Irish 33 after a 10-yard Jim Sexton punt. Quarterback Alton Grizzard scampered 22 yards around right end on the fifth play of the drive to put the
deficit into a three-point lead at 14-11 and then survived 14 sideouts to claim the victory at 16-14.
The second game was played at much the same tempo, as neither team could maintain their serve for more than three points.
The twin towers, Waller and fellow senior Maureen Shea took charge though, as Shea led the offense with five kills and Waller controlled the net for the defense, contributing three assisted blocks on the last three Irish points of the game.
The Irish hit the ground running in the third game after evening the score with the Tigers and winning 15-5 on a slew of kills from the trio of Waller, Bennett and Shea.
Game four saw the return of the see-saw style of play that characterized the first two games, but Notre Dame grabbed the lead early and never relinquished it.

But the wind was finally taken out of Navy's sails early in the fourth quarter on a controversial fourth down spot after the Midshipmen had driven the ball down to the Irish 30.
Fullback Deric Sims stretched for what appeared to be a first down but, after the chains were brought out and the ball's position was scrutinized for over a minute, the officials turned the ball over to Notre Dame on downs.
"I would say that it was a matter of less than a quarter of an inch," said Irish linebacker Wes Pritchett, who was standing right on top of the spot during the deliberation.
After that, it was merely a matter of the Irish running out the clock on another win, but it was never easy.
"We like to think that very team has a breaking point except us." said Rice, who was 9-of -19 for 95 yards and a touchdown through the air. "And we like to think that when the other team reaches their breaking
Shewman defensively knocked the Tigers down and kept them down to help the Irish take the match.
Even the brilliant play of LSU's Monica Freitas, who tallied 24 kills and 10 digs for the match, could not prevent freshman setter Julie Bremner from orchestrating a number of brilliant performances from her hitters.
Bremner did it all for the Irish, as she contributed 61 assists for an impressive .500 setting percentage and added 11 digs, four kills and four total blocks to the Irish cause.
Her sets helped give Waller another strong outing, as Waller recorded a team-high 21 kills and eight total blocks.
Bennett and Shea followed close behind Waller, adding 19 and 18 kills, respectively. Shea also finished with a team-high .600 hitting percentage for the match.
Shelton stepped into the lineup once again to provide another fine performance, as she

point, we have it in control. We never reached Navy's breaking point."
Holtz was a little more direct in his evaluation.
"People will say, 'Hey, it's a win'," he said. "But let me tell you something. We've got a lot of serious problems. We're glad to get out with a win, but our kicking game is in trouble, we haven't been able to run between tackle-and-tackle all year, and our backs are doing a lot of dancing around. We're not a very good football team right now."

tallied 13 kills and a team-high 15 digs.
"I'm really, really pleased," said Irish head coach Art Lambert. "This is the best we've played all year. We came back after the first game and just said 'We're not going to lose this thing.'
"Every win helps you down the road and as the team gets more and more consistent in its play, I think we'll do really well." .
Saturday night's optimism was a far cry from Friday night's disappointment after the Irish fell to 6th-ranked Nebraska in three games, 15-12, 15-7 and 15-13.
The Irish kept the first game close, but the Cornhuskers took the early lead and the Irish could never mount a comeback strong enough to take it away from them.
A number of service errors and a lack of communication prevented the Irish maintaining a consistent attack.
Notre Dame's offense disintegrated in the second game,
as the Irish hitters could only manage nine kills for the game. The Irish would fight back only to see the Cornhuskers jump ahead again.
The Irish, led by Waller's net play, broke out of their twogame trance to gain some momentum in game three, but the jump-serves of Nebraska's Becki Bolli broke the Irish and put the Cornhuskers in charge for good.
"It was not a good night for us," said Lambert. "Nebraska's got a great team and plays great defenses. We played well in spurts and then let them turn it around on us."
Nebraska's head coach Terry Pettit, who coached Waller on the Olympic B-team last summer, praised the Irish effort.
"I'm impressed with what Art (Lambert) has done at Notre Dame," said Pettit. "They're a whole level above what they were last year. Notre Dame has a fine team."

Irish struggle to beat Nav make claim on No. 1 Defense dominates as ND escapes 22-7 By PETE SKIKO Assistant Sports Editor
Notre Dame defeated Navy 22-7 in Baltimore on Saturday and will probably control college football's number one ranking this week after UCLA's loss to Washington State.
But what was reason for celebration in most Irish camps was reason for consternation on the face of Head Coach Lou Holtz after the game.
"The first thing I want to do is to compliment the Naval Academy," said Holtz. "I think they played above their ability and they really took it to us. At the same time, I am very disappointed with the way we played, especially on offense.
"Offensively, we just got whipped. The offensive line was simply controlled by Navy's defensive line. That forced us to gamble, and we made some mistakes when we passed and pitched wide. We just weren't very sharp on offense today at all."
Holtz was not just trying to fire his team up to play hard for the remainder of the season. The Irish truly could not put the clearly inferior but feisty Midshipmen away until late in the

It's time to shuffle the ballots again. Another No. 1 team has fallen.
The top-ranked UCLA Bruins, playing on their home field at Pasadena, Calif., ble\\< 21-point lead Saturday against Washington State and lost 34-30, damaging their hopes for a national championship.
"We were the No. 1 team in the country and on track to the Rose Bowl and a national championship and we lost," UCLA quarterback Troy Aikman said. "Words don't describe how I feel."
Rich Swinton's 1-yard touchdown run with 6: 21 remaining capped Washington State's comeback from a 27-6 deficit, but the Cougars needed a goal-line stand in the final minute to preserve the victory.
The Bruins, 4-1 in the Pac-10 and 7-1 overall, drove to the Washington State 6-yard line with 35 seconds left, but four straight incompletions by Aikman ended the threat.
The Cougars are now 2-3 in the Pac-10 and 5-3 overall.

Not that they didn't have their chances. But nearly every time the Irish threatened to take control, they self-destructed in some area.

Holtz puts heat on offensive line and a 7-0 Notre Dame lead. By GREG GUFFEY
Sports Writer Navy ran three plays and punted following Anthony Johnson's kickoff and it appeared Notre Dame would try to put the game out of reach early. But after driving 33 yards into Navy territory on the next series, Tony Brooks fumbled a Rice pitch and Navy recovered.
Mter Navy's fourth punt (the Middies had a total of 14 first-quarter yards), the Irish.largely behind the running of tailback Mark Green, went 68 yards in seven plays, culminating with Rodney Culver's 22-yard touchdown run. But Reggie Ho missed the extra point wide right, quashing some of the Irish momentum.
BALTIMORE--Moments after a lackluster 22-7 Irish victory over an inspired Navy squad, the reporters covering Notre Dame huddled around a television set in the interview room, watching the Maryland-North Carolina game on a local television station.
"It was disappointing because of the standard and level we have," Holtz said. "The thing that concerns me is that we didn't play to our expectations on offense. Our offensive line got beat up."
Notre Dame gained 267 yards on the ground and 129 in the air. While those statistics looked impressive on paper, they didn't come as easily and did not look as good on the field.
As Irish coach Lou Holtz entered the room, someone suggested turning the game off in order for Holtz to speak. Holtz, though, had other ideas.
"I'd like to see a good football team," he said, motioning to leave the game on.
The offense appeared lethargic at times, never obtaining the unity it exhibited in the opening seven games. Receivers dropped passes with running room ahead, backs lost key fumbles and linemen missed important blocks.
Navy could go nowhere on its next series and the Irish took over on their own 39 with three minutes to play in the half. Mter moving quickly down the field through the air, Notre Dame faced second down at Navy's 17. Rice hit Brown at the five yard- line, but the freshman tight end dropped what would have been a first-
And Holtz wasted little time explaining that he hadn't seen a good football team, especially on offense, Saturday afternoon in the stadium that houses the owners of the longest losing streak in American League baseball history.
"We're not a good football team right now," Holtz said. "We're struggling in a lot of areas."
The area that felt the brunt of Holtz's criticism was the offense, particularly the inability of the offensive line to control the line of scrimmage.
By no means was it a typical offensive performance from the team that could soon be No. 1 in the country.
"It's more or less a rhythm," tailback Mark Green said of the Irish offense. "I think things on offense happen in a rhythmic pattern. Things were disrupted today."
"I think we weren't as relaxed as we usually are," said freshman fullback Rodney Culver, who scored one

Irish team effort takes MCC title By SCOTT BRUTOCAO Sports Writer
With its back against the wall, the Notre Dame men's cross country team turned in a revitalized performance at the Midwestern Collegiate Conference Championships held on Saturday in Chicago.
With the District IV meet just around the corner, the Irish needed to bounc~ back from disappointing performances in the past three weeks.
And bounce back they did, in the form of running as a team. The team had five runners in the top ten places, all of them running the 8000-meter course in under 25:30.
"This was the most aggressive run for the team in a while," said Irish head coach Joe Piane. "The guys ran like they wanted to win."
In a field of eight teams and 78 runners, Irish senior Ron Markezich won the meet in 24:01. Senior captain Dan Gar-
rett finished third in 25:01. Jim Westphal from Loyola
(Ill.) finished second in 24:14. Loyola, despite hosting the meet and being designated as "the team to beat" by Notre Dame head coach Joe Piane, was unable to upset the Irish and finished second.
The secret to the Irish's success was a strong overall team effort. The third, fourth and fifth runners all ran well, which solidified the Irish overall performance.
Junior Tom O'Rourke, senior Rick Mulvey, and sophomore Ryan Cahill finished fifth, ninth, and tenth in the meet, respectively, which put the Irish in command at the finish line.
"It was wonderful that Ron won the meet," said Piane, "but the team couldn't have won without the great performances from O'Rourke, Mulvey and Cahill."
It was the running of Mulvey
and Cahill that particularly pleased Piane.
"This was the best Mulvey looked all year," said Piane. "He couldn't have come up with a better race at a better time. The same goes for Cahill.
"Their runs are going to serve as a confidence booster for the district meet coming up in two weeks," continued Piane. "None of their performances came as a surprise; we've just been waiting for them to come around."
The meet also showed that the Irish can run better.
None of the runners have reached their potential, and they hope this potential will be realized at the District IV meet on November 12.
The District IV meet, which will be attended by such powerhouses as Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, and Central Michigan, will qualify four teams to the NCAA Cham-

'Different' ND rebounds to earn split with RIT By STEVE MEGARGEE Assistant Sports Editor
The Notre Dame hockey team lost 8-3 Friday in the first of a two-game series with the Rochester Institute of Technology, then looked like an entirely different group of players in a 3-2 overtime win Saturday.
Well, actually it practically was an entirely different group of players who took the ice for Notre Dame on Saturday.
Mter seeing his team suffer consecutive 8-3 losses at home (to Alaska-Anchorage on Tuesday and RIT on Friday), six new faces were inserted into Saturday's lineup. The result
was the overtime victory that gave the Irish a split with RIT and brought the team's record to 2-4.
"We had a wholesale change of players overnight," said Irish coach Ric Schafer. "The results were favorable. For some guys, it was their first big varsity game. Just about everyone got their chance."
Sophomore Craig Kleis, one of those new faces, got the Irish started Saturday night by scoring the first goal of the game at 5:46 of the second period. Rob Bankoske and Roy Bemiss each recorded assists
