New Computer System To BeInstalled By End Of Month

BY ANDREW D. GOLDMANThe College of Wooster hat pur-

chased a new mini-comput- er. Itnew terminals, and an extensivecable network which will bring"state of the art" computernology to Wooster students andfaculty. The purchase has beenmade possible through the gener-ous contribution of an anonymousdonor.

The computer is to be deliveredat the end of this month, and is tobe connected to the tele-vide- o ca-bles which are currently beinginstilled on the campus by a Cleve-land cable firm.

"The computer communicationon the cable takes up roughly 20percent of the available communi-cations space," said E. Carl Zim-merman, director of AcademicComputer Services.

. Zimmerman said that there is thecapability with the new system ofbringing cable and educational tele-vision to the campus, as well as

, live and pre-tape- d lectures, recitalsand plays.' .

--The comnuter. a VAX U750 by'"' "THrital Eouiament. was Hi at intro- -'"S-duce- d in 1S81, and can be expected

to "fulfill the needs of the College! for at least the next fiveto seven

years." said William Snoddy. Vice-Preside- ntfor Business and Finance

at the College. . - --'

. The purchase of cables. 19 newterminals and the VAX will costapproximately $300,000. This costwill be covered by a donation givento the school to "enhance educa-tional programs of the College, anddevelop new educational programsat the College." Snoddy said.

Some other colleges which pos-sess similar computer systems in-clude Cal Tech. Denison, Hiramand Mnskingunu However, the onlyother schools which have a cablenetwork are Brown University.Dartmouth. Stanford Universityand West Point.

There were several reasons theCollege chose not to use the exist-ing telephone lines used by mostschools, but rather the new cablesystem. The network uses what iscalled a broad-ban-d cable, which isthe type of wiring used for cabletelevision. -

eated.The broad-ban- d cable is signifi-

cant due to the fact that by sendinginformation on an almost infinitenumber of wave-link- s, it has almostHmHiMi communications potential.The broad-ban- d cable is also ad-vantageous in that every outlet onthe cable -- is capable of receivingand dispatching computer commu-nications to any other outlet oncampus, allowing peripheral hard-ware as well as the main computerto be placed at any outlet locationon campus, Zimmerman said.

The College is expecting to beable to have up to 33 people on lineat any given time, not includingstudents' personal computers, withthe potential of more through theaddition of terminals, memory,hard discs, and perhaps in aCouple of years a second comput-er.

The computer classes will proba-bly begin using the new --system inthe fall of 1983 to allow time forwhat College Relations Officer Pe-ter Havholm termed as "flaws inthe beginnin&ILZimmerman stated.that he hopes, to have some- - of hishigher level classes using the newmachinery before .the end of thisacademic year.

The College is at present encour-aging students to purchase theirown personal computers, althoughZimmerman declined to give arecommendation for any particularbrand'of machine. Zimmermansaid he has been making attemptsto make machines available tostudents at a .reasonable price,although at this point he says' hehas not been successful

Zimmerman showed interest inthe new Digital Personal Computerwhich he believes may integratebetter with the school's systemthan other microcomputers. Stu-dents will be able to connect theirpersonal computers, and have thepower of both machines at, theirdisposal.

Doug Hughes, director of theDepartment of Computer Scienceat Denison, said that he is verypleased with Denison's VAX, andthat he is considering the purchaseof a second machine to deal withthe greatly increased demand byall departments in the university.

Sharon And PeaceThe Israeli cabinet's call for the resignation of Defense Minister

Ariel Sharon following the release of the Beirut massacre report isultimately justified given Mr. Sharon's earlier testimony that heknew more about the safety of Palestinian refugees than he wasinitially willing to admit Hopefully, Mr. Sharon's resignation willhush the overzealous opponents of the Israel move into Lebanonwhich was occasioned by stepped-u-p terrorist activity against Israel.

Last summer when the Begin government moved into Lebanon tocounter the terror perpetuated by the Soviet-backe- d PalestinianLiberation Organization, American media launched an attack of itsown on the Israeli military and civilian commands. Rarely was theremention or even realization of the caches of Soviet arms held by thePLO or its hostile ally-in-arm- s. Syria. Nor was there much attentiongiven to the self-jeopardizi- ng actions taken by Israeli troops toprotect civilian populations from bombs, bullets and the PLO troopswho used citizens as cover.

It seems, in short, that Israel was given the shaft for trying todefend civilians, much as American troops were victims of their owngood-wi- ll in Vietnam. "

When President Reagan announced his peace plan for theMideast last September, his earnest hope for immediate peace failedto consider the problems which were bound to occur, and which werebound to be more serious if Israeli troops had been swiftly sweptback to their homeland in accordance with the President's wishes.

Mr. Reagan and critics of Israel most notably the PLOinsisted on the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon.Mr. Reagan, with the blessing of the United Nations, PresidentGemayel of Lebanon, and armed contingents from France and Italy,sent peacekeeping forces to Beirut in spite of the faet that an earliertask force was unable to prevent the Beirut massacre.

The foreign contingents have amounted to no more than 8000, asmall number to police a nation which for centuries has been thebattleground of Muslims, Christians, and Jews. With one Gemayelassassinated, another working with a fledgling government, and theReagan administration attempting to arrange a pacific agreementbetween warring parties, the worst thing that could have overcomeLebanon was the total withdrawal of Israeli forces. In the absence ofthat stability, Lebanon would have been prime prey for the expelledPLO, extremist Muslims, or Syrians.

The Lebanese situation now is a mesh of confusion. Yet with thePalestinian militia threat gone, and with Syrians chased from thecountry, the Gemayel government has a chance at bringing peace.As for Israel, the resignation of Sharon and appointment of currentAmbassdor Moshe Arens to the defense spot will add credibility tothat all-import- ant position. Though a hard-line- r, Arens is respectedin the United States, and exudes an atmosphere of humanism andgentleness.

The Begin government is now demonstrating a stability not seensince last summer, before the massacre and its subsequentinvestigations. With Mr. Gemayel in a comfortable standing with hiscountry, Israel now deserves the complete support once accorded it,and efforts should be continued to reach rapprochement between theMideast's contending factions.

Dixon Uses VoiceFor Personal CausesEditor:

I am sick and tired of hearingcomplaints about the Jerry GarciaConcert being turned down forWooster. These complaints havecome entirely from The Voice, KenDixon, and only a handful of others.Of course their major argument isthat the concert would at leastbreak even financially. They basethis on 300 signatures (not evencommitments) from students whowould pay $7 to see only a singlemember of a band that saw itsartistic and commercial peak in thelate sixties and early seventies.

According to the recent article inthe Feb. 4 edition of The Voice,Timken Gymnasium would have tobe filled "to make the Garciabooking financially feasible." In

today's economy with such "other"bis names of the oast such asLinda Ronstadt and Blondie, playing to half-capaci- ty arenas inai arenot much bigger than Timken, howdoes Ken Dixon plan on making aJerry Garcia concert at least breakeven? Only such big name groupsas the Who and the Rolling Stonesem guarantee a sellout these days.

Of course there is the claim fromDixon and friends that "DeadHeads" will abound from all overthe state to the small community ofWooster, thus possibly producingthe true "Woodstock II." Whatntxnn falls to realize, however, isthat Jerrv Garcia bv himself is lustnot worth several hours of driving

Voice Criticized For LackOf Carnival Coverage

Dear Editor:The 1983 Winter Carnival was

viewed as a success by manyparticipants and spectators. How-ever, the success was apparentlynot important enough to warrantany coverage by the staff writers ofthe VOICE. In fact, up to this point.the VOICE has been more con-cerned with "Doo-Do- o in Woo"than planned student activities. Asa responsible editor of our collegepaper, you should concern yourselfwith major campus-wid- e eventssuch as the Winter Carnival andmake that concern obvious in thecontent of the paper.

On Monday, Feb. 7, organizers ofthe Winter Carnival inquired as tothe extent of the coverage by theVOICE on the four day event. Wewere appalled to find absolutely nocoverage had been undertaken.News Services provided photogra-phy coverage of the events. AlumniHouse had representatives presentduring the events. Even the INDEXtook notice of the Winter Carnival.But no VOICE.

We took it upon ourselves toprovide the VOICE with materialsfrom which a story or photo-essa- ycould have easily been written.News Services --worked overtime toprovide photographs of the. Carni-val in order to meet the VOICEdeadline. The editor-in-chi-ef of theVOICE freely gave assurances thatif the deadline was met, the materi- -

When as much time as wasinvested in the organization andexecution of the Winter CarnivalActivity by so many members ofthe campus, the VOICE should takenotice. People wonder why campus-wid- e

apathy is so prevalent inWooster. It starts right in our ownschool newspaper.

Let's have less coverage of theVOICE staff and more sincere andadequate coverage of current stu-dent activities. Despite the incom-petence of the coverage, those whoparticipated in the 1983 WinterCarnival know just how much of asuccess it was.

Lower ComplainsAbout VoiceCarnival CoverageDear Editor, -

I was surprised and disappointedthat the Winter Carnival receivedno coverage in the VOICE. Theacademic and cultural areas of theCollege are important and deserveto receive the attention your papergives them, however, the recrea-tional activities should not be ig-nored. . .

I would like to thank aU thouwho participated in a very success-ful weekend, including The Flakes,Th FB3's, and The Delt-EKO'-s.winners, of first second, and thirdplace, respectively. Your effortsand enthusiasm were appreciated.Thanks go out also to the photogra-phers from the INDEX, The Daily.Record, and News Services whowere at most of the events.

And besides this question of eco-nomic feasibility, I feel that KenDixon has been selfish in his choiceof Jerry Garcia. Not because be isa fan, but because this concert issupposed to be for THE STU-DENTS OF WOOSTER COLLEGE,not some "Dead Head" from Tole-do, Ohio.

Drinan To LectureBy SUSAN FIGGE

How do we view our Latin American neighbors? As suppliers ofcocaine and marijuana and of andendless stream of illegal aliens? Asour allies in the fight against com-munism? As the authors and vic-tims of uncertain revolutions? As'tools in the Soviet Cold War Kit? Asa vast resource of raw materials?

Two weeks ago the Administration found itself in the awkwardposition of having to explain thewounding of an American militaryadvisor in El Salvador the firstAmerican military casualty of thewar. Again the questions areraised: does the United States havethe right to interfere In the Inter-nal political affairs of Latin American countries? Does it interfere?How does it interfere?

In his talk on Tuesday evenire inMcGaw Chapel at 8:15 p.m., thiswinter's Morris Lecturer. RobertF. Drinan, S.J.. will explore "'TheReagan Admlnstration and CentralAmerica."

Robert Drinan holds degreesfrom Boston College, GregorianUniversity in Rome,, and George-town University Law Center. AJesuit priest he is a Professor ofLaw at Georgetown University LawSchool and served as a member ofCongress from 1971-198- 1.

His publicatons include neugion.The Courts and Public Policy(1963), The Right to be Educated(1968), Democracy, Dissent andDisorder (1969), Vietnam and Ar-mageddon (1969) and Honor thePromise: America's Commitmenttn Israel (1977). Dornan has traveled extensively on human rightsmissions to El Salvador, Guatema-la and Nicaragua.

Korn On SociobiologyIs one morality as good as any

other? On what grounds might wemake this judgment? How do weemerge from the "Soup of Relativ-ism" and steer a course betweenthe "Moralists" and the "Canni-bals?" -

At Wednesday's convocation,Fred Korn, Department of Philoso-phy, will. suggest ways in whichstudying our species scientificallymay help us to say which moralityis the right one for human beings.If we can once arrive at an under-standing of our true nature, thenwe can say what Is good for us andbow we should be good.

It is an old idea, says ProfessorKorn, Students who have read Pla-to's Republic will rcognlse themethod. But in Professor Korn's

Pft 3talk the data about human natureand the conclusions based on it aredrawn from a relatively new sci-ence sociobioogy whichclaims to bring the perspectives ofevolutionary theory and of popula-tion genetics to bear on moralityand the social sciences.

Born in Highland Park, Michi-gan. Korn received his BA In Phi-losophy from the University ofMichigan and UCLA and his MAand Ph.D. in Philosophy from theUniversity of Michigan. His Ph.D.thesis. Dissolving the Problem ofPolitical Obligation, was apparent-ly widely influential, since, ne ob-serves, virtually no one worriesabout political obligation any more.

Prof. Korn has taught at CityUniversity of New York and atWashington University. He haspublished a paper on Moral Justin- - .cation. His paper on Promising:Where People Don't Promise (co-author-ed

with Shulamith Dektor)all appear in the April number ofEthics. The research on promising,which refutes the claim that prom-ising is present in all human socle-- 'ties, was carried out in the Kind-go- m

on Tonga and was supportedby a grant from the National Insti-tute of Mental Health.

Professor Korn is also a runnerwho has participated in the Cleve-land, Boston and New York Mara-thons. -

Liberal Arts Blues. For those in the depths of WinterQuarter questioning the uses of theliberal arts. Donald Helm an. distin-guished scholar of English romati-cis- m.

will speak Thursday eveningat 8:15 p.m. In Mackey Hall on"What to Do Before the Deluge."

Prof. Reiman describes his talkas useful to students facing theworld and wondering how to livesuccessfully during times of crisisand confusion. He will discuss sci-ence.' philosophy, religion and thearts as resources in the face oflife's inevitable tragedies.

Donald Reiman, a Phi Beta Kap-pa graduate of the College of Woos-ter. received his MA and PHD.Degrees from the University ofIllinois. He taught at Duke Univer-sity and the University of Wiscon-sin in Milwaukee before becomingthe editor of Shelley and his Circleat the Carl H. Pforzheimer Libraryin New York City. He has heldadjunct professorships at City Uni-versity of New York and at Colum-bia University ' and Saint JohnsUnversity. He has published manybooks, including two major studiesof Shelley, and is a bibliographerwho has placed students of British19th century literature greatly inhis debt

In 1981 Prof. Reiman received'the degree of Doctor of Lettersfrom the College of Wooster. Hebegan to draft his talk on theDeluge after that visit.

BOOKS IN REVIEWCheever Creates Paradise

. By DAVID MEANSKurt Vonnegut Dead-Ey-e Dick.Hardbound Delacorte Press, 237p.p. 14.95.John Cheever, Ob What a ParadiseIt Seems, Paper Back, 2.50 105 p.p.Ballantine.

A failure! On the back cover ofKurt Vonnegut's latest book is apicture of him lounging peacefullyon a plush, expensive couch. I havetwo theories about this picture: A.)Vonnegut is sleeping, hopefullydreaming up a book that is muchbetter then Dead Eye Dick. B.)Vonnegut is really dead, and thebook was actually written as a Sr.I.S. and it barely got a satisfactorygrade. Of course nothing is moredangerous than an undergrad E li

glish major calling a Kurt Vonne-gut book a failure. No, we don'tcome down on the king of pop-underground-absurdist'f- iction

like-- that. I guess I'll just have to takethe risk.

I have been a Vonnegut fan for

littleboy, is given the key to his father'shuge gun collection and then pro-ceeds to shoot a pregnant womanwho is three miles away and bypure chance happens to be in theway of the bullet Absurd? yes,funny, no. The apotheosis of theentire novel seems to be this eventAnd why does Vonnegut place reci-pes for gourmet dinners throughoutthe narrative? This is a book full ofholes, full of a vast number oftypical Vonnegut events, but with-out direction, without the linksholding it together.

Another dangerous thing for un-dergrad English majors to do is tomake rash, vague, assumptionsabout the writer. Here it goes: thisbook seems to be showing us awriter who is straining to be ab-surd, who must come up with someweird new ideas to top all the otherones he's written ... the result isnothing but mush. Vonnegut's wellis dry. or he's feeling a little tooconfident in his highrise plush NewYork apartment Once he was theking of the underground writers, aguardian of the lower class cause.Dead-Ey- e Dick is to pop fictionwhat the Big Mac is to fine foods,it's a little dry, made quickly anditH make some money.

is indeed a classic. This is one ofthe best books of the year, althoughit is unlikly to be a big hit Beingonly a hundred pages long has keptit off the best-sell- er list; peopledon't like to buy short books.

When the New York Times BookReview called this book "PerfectPeriod." They were not kidding. Thisis the story of Lemuel Sears, aretired businessman, who is fight-ing to save Beasley's pond, whichhas been turned into a toxic wastedump. Cheever is basically an opti-mist, and this is an optimist book

Sears' adventures are uplift-ing. The owner of the story is foundin Cheever's wonderful ability toobserve our world, seeing the mod-ern world and using his crisp con-trol of the language to convey thatHere are some lines when he de-scribes the bank where Searsmeets his lover:

Cus-tomers were urged by newspaper adver-tisements, television and mailings tomake their deposits and withdrawals byInserting cards into responsive ma-chines, but there were still enough menand women who had mislaid their cardsor who were to lonely that they liked tosmile at a teller...

Cheever sees a basic humanitythat prevades over technology, hesees a kind of humanness that goesbeyond.

This is a short novel, but itreaches far beyond most books.Sears is the kind of character thatsticks in your mind, that builds upwith thought You see an older manfalling in love with a woman, open-ing up a new understanding of theworld. This is indeed the kind ofbook we all need to read. It isshort, does not interfere with thehomework, but fills one with asense of wonder at our entireworld, our society, life. If I couldrecommend a book this year I thinkit would be Cheever's last attemptat saying. Hay, the world is

.screwed up, the world has alwaysbeen screwed up, but we can stillgo down to the beach and lie in thesun, we can still enjoy the exiit-anc- e

that we are lucky to have, wecan all find Beaseiy ponds to save.Read this, it's worth the time.

HarwarcTs Letter To CampusOn Computer Network System

The following is the text of an open letter to faculty, staff sad studentsof the College, as issued by Ponald W. Harward, Vice-Preside- nt forAcademic Affairs. The letter concerns the status of the College's computerand network systems. -

"- Highlights(1) The College of Wooster kit acquired a VAX 11750 (Digital Equipment)

. central computer with extended memory and a wide range of software. A broadbandcable network (produced by Sytek Corporation) will connect the VAX to terminal.printers, and mlcroproceaaora throughout the campus.

(li) The cable network and the new VAX will provide Wooster with a system thatIs more versatile, as powerful and more, interactive than those of most liberal artsinstitutions. At this time, only a few institutions (including Brown, Stanford andDartmouth) have installed Interactive broadband cable networks such as Wooster willhave.

(ill) Thexinitial central computer purchase will also include the acquisition ofadditional terminals. . printers and microprocessors. Once added to the existinghardware, the College will have in operation approximately SO terminals, printer and .microprocessors spread throughout the campus which will be connected by the cablenetwork to the VAX and to each other.

(iv) The-campus-w- ide broadband cable is looped underground in our currentcampus ductwork. In the first phase of acquisition. 33 PCUs (devices permittingconnection to the system) are connected to the broadband network permittinginteraction among every academic building, administrative building and dormitory.Students and faculty- - will be able to enter the system with their own microprocessorsand coupling software from any dorm and from any academic building on campusproviding invaluable assistance to those working on Independent Study and other

. research projects.(v) Nondigital uses of the cable network (including video and audio transmission)

are being planned for the entire campus in a series of phases. Target dates for thefirst phase of the nondigital uses of the system have not been set.

You have probably noticed the workmen pulling cable through the steam tunnelsand emerging in various offices, residence facilities and virtually every building oncampus. The broadband cable win be installed by March, if the weather holds. Wiringin most buildings has Just started and the initial phase of wiring for the installation ofPClTs will also be completed by early March. Our new central computer (VAX 11750) is being snipped for installiaUon in late February. We have awaited proper airconditioning and a platform for the VAX In its "home" in Andrews Library. Assumingthat there will be delays of various sorts, including time to expunge the predictablemalfunctions of any new system, we are looking to the first of May as a target datefor initial use of the new computer and network system. -

The initial phase of acquisition and installation includes not only the VAX butadditional clusters of microprocessors, printer end VC 1028 ('dumb' terminals). Thelocation of these items has not been determined, but will be determined by the

Academic Computing Committee which has provided ' overall responsibility for.advising the College of the initial phase. , - , .

Two committees, each composed of faculty, students and staff, serve ss theplanning and implementation committees for academic computing and for non-digi- taluses of the cable network.

The Academic Computing Committee has been meeting since midsummer; theCable Committee was formed in January and its focus is much in the future.

The initial phase acquisitions have included the VAX. the broadband cablenetwork and associated electrical devices, academic --oriented software, additionalterminals and microprocessors and additional printers. Wiring for the networkincludes every academic building, every residence hall and most other buildings on

- campus. Wiring in these buildings has been limited, in the initial phase, tar specificlocations identified by academic and student affairs departments and approved bythe Academic Computing Committee.

Overseeing Installation and initial utilisation is not the same asreadying the campus (faculty, students .and staff) for the academicuses of computing and the cable network. The educative dimensionof preparing the campus is now the central concern of theAcademic Computing Committee.

The goal of the College is to meet the academic computing needsof its students and faculty. Every undergraduate should be providedtbe training and the access to sophisticated computing technologyand faculty must be provided opportunities to continue researchand expand teaching emphases in areas directly utilising comput-ing. The translation of those goals for individual staff members,students and faculty will result in different emphases. Therefore,there must be a variety of possible means of achieving those goals,each Involving certain costs. '

Tbe college cannot elect the route, available at some majoruniversities, of providing a full computing center staff. We willhave Professors Zimmerman and Grossblstt, a new AssistantDirector of Computing, and student assistants; but there will be no

to assist members of our community who are novices(faculty, students or staff members) as well as those who areexperienced and frequent computer users (faculty, students orstaff). We must have plan that does not impede the experiencednor intimidate the novice. -

.

. As a suggestion for Implementation in the intitial phase, theAcademic Computing committee recommends that we address theachieving of the goals for computing at Wooster by wngmentinfacademic course work with a range of "seminars." These will benoncredit workshops, open to students, faculty and staff on n first-co-me

basis. The seminar workshops will vary in duration and willbe repeated frequently. The instructors for these seminar workshopwffl not he the faculty who teach CS 151, etc. but wiU be para-profession- als

Jazz Ensemble To FeatureWorks By Wooster Grad

--- 4. - --s - f '

The ghost of Don Rice will haun..the halls of Freedlander Theaterwhen the College of Wooster JazzEnsemble performs in its annualwinter concert on Tuesday. Feb.22nd. at 8:15 p.m.

Last fall Rice wrote to DirectorStuart Ling and asked if he wouldconsider programming a new chartwith this year's ensemble. Uponreceiving an affirmative reply.Rice sent not only the" arrangement,but also a lengthy cassette tapeupon which he recorded extensivecomments on how the piece shouldbe performed. The tune is entitled."Fun for Some." but Ling indicatesthat "everyone will enjoy the mu-sic, which excludes the energeticmusical personality of the compos-er."

Rice, who completed three unde-rgraduate degree programs atWooster (two in music and one in

is currently working as afeology)ab geologist in California, but findstime to practice his saxophone andpiano a couple of hours each eve-ning, and also makes time to com-pose and arrange, and even to playa gig now and then. A few days agohe called Ling and asked if theensemble is ready for another newchart. Ling's response tothat was,"if we can handle it, we'U play iton our May concert."

As might be expected, the Ricetune features saxes, in this caseLaura Rickard on alto and Bill St.John on tenor. The Feb. 22nd con-cert will also give solo opportuni-ties to other players.

Chris Hale, pianist, .will haveseveral chances, and especially on"Sweet Georgia Brown," and "88Basie Street." Roger Miller,trombonist, will grab the spotlighton "Country Road." "Jelly Roll'and "Four for Flip." Others whowill play solos include Dale Grubb,Wes Taylor, and Chuck Craig(trumpet), Mark Henn (bass trom-bone), Ty Williams (also sax), JoeIncavo (bass), Mc Squier (guitar),and Jonathan Miller (drums).

K3far

The program will include severalstyles of jazz, from dixieland,through swing, bebop, and Jazz-roc- k.

The group's popularity hasrisen as evidenced by the fact thattheir last concert drew a standingroom only crowd in Freedlander.The doors will open at 7:30 p.m.and there is no admission charge-fo- r

college personnel or students.

Scots Succumb ToBy PETE BOTTI ..

The Fighting Scots proved tosport fans this past week that theycan play with any top quality teamon any given night They nearlyswept two nationally ranked teams,Wittenberg and Muskingum.

. ranked ninth and 15th, respectively,in NCAA Division III, improvingtheir record to 11-1- 1 (6-5- ).

After losing a disheartening con-test to Wittenberg 53-5- 0, the Scotsrebuilt their morale by outlastingMuskingum 57-5-6.

On Feb. 12, after absorbing adisappointing loss at the hands ofWittenberg, the Scots visited NewConcord, Ohio, with the hope ofupsetting Muskingum, a feat notdone too often in their gymnasium.The Muskies had come up on thewinning end 28 out of' their last 29games. Furthermore, Muskingumhad outstanding credentials: theywere tied for the. OAC; they beatthe number one team, Scrantdn, inDivision III earlier in the season.Even more, they possessed a spar-kling performer, Myron Dulkoski,who was averaging 18.0 points pergame.

Wooster was determined to givethe Muskies a battle from theoutset, as they exchanged leads,with no team ahead by more thanfour points throughout the wholegame. The Scots employed a varie-ty of defenses to keep the Muskiesoffensively off-balanc- ed. The Scotdefense proved to be adequate, asthey limited Dulkoski to eightpoints, and outre bounded them 23-1- 1,

with Ron Beal and Jesse-Smit- h"grabbing five rebounds- - apiece, .- -

However, Muskingum connected"on 62 percent of their field shots inboth halves, while the. Scots onlymade 44 percent of their field goalshots. Wooster compensated for

. their inferior statistic by convert-ing on 10 of 11 of their foul shots, toremain even with the Muskies athalftime, 28-2-6.

Chris Thomas, who finished with "12 points for the game, and MikeSheridan, a substitute, scored sixpoints a piece in the first half tolead the Scots. In addition to Sheri-dan's arousing play, Wooster re

But Outlast Huskiesceived help from Eri Short, also aplayer off the bench, who contribut-ed 10 points. "We got excellent sup-port from the bench in Eric (Short)and Mike (Sheridan)," said a jubi-lant Wooster Coach Brown.

In the second half, Alan Wentzsparked the Scots, scoring 10 of histotal 12 points, mostly in clutchsituations. With 1:35 remaining, theScots down 56-5-3, Wentz connectedon an 18 foot jump shot to cut themargin to 56-5-5. Then Muskingumstalled for over a minute, but with:28 left the Scots regained posses-sion of the ball, as Wentz dribbledto the top of the key, waited whilethe Scots cleared out the right sideof the court, and drove hard to the

On Wednesday, Feb. 9, the Scotslost to visiting Wittenberg, a lineupwith all five starters from lastyear's OAC championship team, 53-5-0

that included two gimme freethrows for the Tigers after thegame had ended.

Wooster played extremely wellboth offensively and defensively inthe first half. The Scots scoredmany of their baskets off the Wit-tenberg press. At times, when theScots were unable to get baskets offthe press, they set up their patientoffense. They penetrated well in-side, with Chris Thomas assertinghimself underneath, as he scored 12of his game-hig-h 22 points in thefirst half. When Wooster shot fromthe perimeter, they rarely missed,as they connected on 75 percent oftheir shots. Beal, the Scots' outsideshooting ace, pumped in 10 of his 18points in the first half.

On the other hand, the Tigers gotoff 30 shots to Wooster's 16, butwere cold, as they only made 37percent of their shots. A majorreason why . Wittenberg attemptedso many shots was because theygot a lot of offensive rebounds,thereby gaining second shot oppor-tunities. The Tigers putreboundedthe Scot 15--8 in the first half, and

for the game, 23-1- 7. Wooster'sSmith hauled down six of his team-hig- h

nine rebounds in the first half.. In the beginning of the secondhalf, the Tigers pawed their wayback, scoring four unansweredbuckets to take the lead at 31-3-0with 16:46 remaining. Wittenbergapplied an intense press on theScots, thereby causing the Scots tolose some of their offensive stabili-ty. Subsequently, the Tigers vastlyimproved their 37 percent field goalshooting to 78 percent in the secondhalf, while the Scots cooled off to 36percent

With a little over 11 minutesremaining and down 45-4- 2, theScots went into a stall, a strategythat started controversy. "I wanted.to give us a chance to win ... thestart of the second half really hurtus," said a disappointed CoachBrown. "I wanted to give myplayers the best opportunity, towin."

The strategy seemingly backfiredthough, as the Scots turned the ballover twice. Wittenberg then built aseemingly comfortable 49-4- 2 lead.

With 5:15 remaining, and theScots down by seven points, itseemed virtually hopeless becausethey were physically drained bythe stronger Tigers. Nevertheless,the Scots surged back to take thelead on a jump shot by Beal with1:37 remaining.

When Wittenberg got the ballback, they proceeded to shoot a 20-foot- er

and missed, and the Scots'hopes for an upset looked obtainable. Unfortunately, a Tiger got the.ball, and went up for a lay-u- p andmissed, but went back up immedi-ately to bank in the second shot forthe go-ahe- ad points with 1:09 toplay.

A questionable decision at thisjuncture of the game was theshunning of Wooster's last timeoutto set up the final play. "That givesthe other team time to change adefense and you have to concernyourself with getting all the inbounds." said Brown. But the finalplay went askew after Beal got anerrant pass, and fired up a 30 footturnaround jumper that missedwith three seconds left

Tomorrow, the Scots travel toOtterbein, hoping to keep RonStewart, who averages 31.8-pp- g.and the leading scorer in DivisionIII, under control. The Cardinals. 6-- 14

as of last Saturday's results, area fast breaking and full-cou- rt pres-sure team, averaging 74 points pergame.

BY QUINCY ADAMSThe Scotties split their last two

games, both away, besting Baldwin--Wallace by the score of 55--3Thursday, and then losing to Den-sio-n,

in a game played at the foulline 45-5- 7.

The Baldwin Wallace YellowJackets had a tough team, butlacked, depth; the key to the Scot-tie- s

victory was aggressive playunder the boards. The strategy ofboth teams was to go inside onoffense and to play hard aggressivedefense. The first half was dictatedby sluggish passing by the Scottiesand missed field goal attempts.Their strong defense, however,kept them in charge of the game,leading throughout the first half.Marl Beth Bentler. 5'10" sopho-more forward, turned in the bestfirst half performance with 11points and 6 rebounds.

The Scotties finished the halfahead 29-2- 3.

The battle under the boards wasa draw, each team getting 18 re-bounds. Baldwin-Wallac- e averagedabout 70 points per game beforethis showing and so the Scottiesknew that they could not sit on alead.

Wooster came out hot in thesecond half going inside to KrisLeslie and Bentler. The offense wasgetting second and third chancescontrolling the offensive boards.Yellow Jacket Brenda Deloney gotinto foul trouble early in the secondhalf and forced her to the bench,opening the B-- W defense inside andallowing Wooster to pull away witha solid lead. The defense for theScotties continued to be tough inthe second half, forcing B-- W toshoot from outside. Wooster wouldincrease the lead to up to 17 pointsand never let B-- W closer than 10.

The second half team reboundingshowed that the Scotties dominatedthe boards beating the YellowJackets 30-1- 5. The outstandingplayer was Bentler who scored 15points had 12 rebounds and 3 steals.Leslie had 20 points as DarleneKemp and Amy Smith repeatedlyfound her open underneath having 7and 4 assists respectively.

After coming off the victory overB-- W, the Scotties traveled to Deni--son, where they faced the. opportunity to capture first place in theCAC Denison, a much strongerteam, both in size and depth, chal-lenged the Scotties to play betterthan they did against B-- W.

The game started with Denison's6'1" center hitting an inside shotover Leslie. The Scotties had toclose in on Denison's center tocontrol her offensive threat -- Coming back at the other end of thecourt were Leslie who scored on anoffensive rebound and DarleneKemp who made 2 of her 7 gameassists to give Wooster a 6-- 2 lead.Wooster held onto a slim lead untilthe midway mark of the first halfwhen the Scotties committed theirsixth personal foul, allowing Deni-son's high scoring forward Jones toscore 2 of her 12 points from tnecharity stripe.
