A total of $25,000 was loaned to the BSU by SAFAC to initial- ly pay for the concert. Only about $15,000 was paid back. Over $10,000 of SAFAC money was lost and the rest was lost by the BSU. Proceeds from the concert were to go to benefit the home- less of Philadelphia. SAFAC member Jason Livingood stated with regards to the investigation that “we haven’t gone through all the accounts yet and we haven’t gone through all the receipts. We haven’t made any final conclu- sions yet.” Livingood described the investigation as follows: “The best case scenario is one where no one is in debt and that every- thing’s fine. The worst case sce- nario is that [the BSU] is in debt more than any organization would want to be.” This past Monday, however, Livingood, Zimmis and SAFAC member Chris Grazioso released a report to the Congress about the situation. According to Livingood, SAFAC itself only took a $10,000 loss, which SAFAC had originally anticipated as a possi- ble loss. However, as per the report, that leaves a deficit of $11,847.15 currently in the BSU’s operating account. A total of 636 adult tickets were sold by the BSU for both sessions of the concert. 78 tickets were sold to students and an additional 60 tickets were com- plementary, in accord with Belle’s agreement. At the meet- ing Livingood said that approxi- mately 1,800 tickets were expected to be sold, a difference of 1,026 tickets. According to Drew Williams, Director of Student Activities, an organization putting on a concert plans their budget around approximately 70 to 80 percent of their tickets being sold. Working with Livingood’s fig- ures, the BSU sold 43 percent of the tickets they expected to sell. According to Grazioso, the situation began when SAFAC was approached by BSU member Gerald Jones with the original request for funding for the con- cert. Jones wanted to put on “a huge event,” according to Grazioso, and “anticipated a profit which would be donated to a specific charity.” Grazioso said the BSU needed money to “establish ahead of time a guar- anteed payment for the per- former.” Until the May 11 report, the actual amount of the seed loan to the BSU was under debate. According to Williams, who was absent from the SAFAC meeting in question, “sketchy minutes were kept” and $10,000 was later transferred to the BSU’s account. According to the May 11 SAFAC report, at the initial meeting where funding was requested SAFAC “decided to fund BSU $25,000 up front in order to sign the contract for the performer and cover her costs. Additionally, as ticket sales came into BSU’s account, it was specified that $15,000 was to be repaid immediately, as the $25,000 was only to obtain con- tractual agreements and to meet up-front costs. The remaining $ 10,000 was to be repaid when the event turned a profit. If by some chance, the event had loss- es, SAFAC would cover up to $10,000 of them. This was prop- erly voted upon and approved by SAFAC.” Not everyone was convinced of the concert’s profitability, however. In an interview, Wilhams said that “when you’re See BSU on page 3 Freshmen enrolltnent Crew wins gold at Dad Vails down, transfers up Andrew Ross N ews Wrfter Although the number of fresh- man applicants is down from last year’s rate, the rate of students transferring into Drexel is “sharply up,” according to Donald Dickason, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management. The offer rate— percentage of applicants accepted—will be slightly less than last year’s 91 percent offer rate. The numbers are . “soft,” according to Dickason, because Drexel does not have a cutoff date like most colleges. There- fore, final enrollment numbers won’t be available for a while. “[We’re] a little bit behind [on freshman enrollment],” said Dickason. “Our [number of freshmen] last year was 1,205; I’d like to match that, [but] my suspicion is a little bit less than that.” Dickason said that transfer rates were up approximately 30 percent for a number of reasons. “[It’s] part of a national trend...two-year colleges are becoming more and more a place for [students interested in a bachelor’s degree>r..part of it certainly is cost.” The agreement with CCP and other two-year colleges to make transferring into Drexel from those schools also increased the transfer rate. Dickason said that the offer rate would be “slightly less” tlian last year, when Drexel accepted 91 percent of high school stu- dents who applied. “The quality [of students] may be up a tad... everyone in the world wants to lower their acceptance rate.” He cited many methods that Drexel uses to attract quality stu- dents, including the A. J. E)rexel scholarships that pay a signifi- cant amount of tuition for stu- dents with high SAT scores.

trial verdict pitted hundreds of college students agunst police and spawned turmoil on campuses the likes of which haven’t been seen since the Vietnam War protests of the 1960s.
Hie April 29 acquittal of four white police o fficers in the videota^d beating of the black motorist sparked demonstrations and protests with a rallying cry of “No justice, no peace.”
By May 5, the death toll in Los Angeles had reached 55, surpassing the worst urban rioting of this century.
In Los A ngeles, violence drove many college students out of town and canceled classes. Popular eateries near the U niversity o f Southern California were burned to the ground.
In some cases, the students’ anger turned to violence.
In Atlanta, 22 people were taken to local hospitals May 1 a fte r students clashed with police in a second day of violence. Students from predominantly black Atlanta University set paU'ol cars ablaze and threw rocks and bottles, while police used tear gas to break up protesters.
In other violence April 30', nearly 100 students from Central M issouri State University in Warrensburg, Mo., broke windows and overturned a car.
The editors of the University of Massachusetts student newspaper moved equipment to an undisclosed location and decided to shut down operations five days early after a group of angry minority students took over the newspaper office for 30 minutes and broke a window.
The sttidents were upset about die recent replacement of Uiree minority news editors by the p ap er 's staff, a move they deiscribed as racist, and appare n tly were galvanized into action May 1 by the King verdict
One o f the ousted minority staffers described the move to replace him as “the same kind of voting process that went down in the Rodney King verdict,” according to an Associated Press story.
In Los Angeles, students at the U niversity o f Southern California near the downtown area were most direcdy affected by die rioting. Many left town after violence erupted around Uie campus the night of the verdict although no students were reported hurt university officials said.die riots. Earlier diat day, about 1,000 students held a rally protesting the King verdict, chanting “No justice, no peace.”
About 350 B uffalo State College students held a peaceful
march May 1 on cam pus. Several hundred students and community residents also demonstrate peacefully May 1 at the U niversity o f Pennsylvania.
A silent protest was held on the steps o f Harvard University's library May 1.
The university also sponsored panel d iscussions and open f^orums for students and faculty who wanted to talk about die verdict
“Tensions on campus have been pretty high,” said a student editor at the Harvard Crimson.
At Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va., 200 students tried to march on the state Capitol, but the march was suspended for lack of a permit. A U.S. flag was burned in protest.
At Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, an elecu-onic bulletin board on campus was put to use by various students who discussed the King verdict via com puters, said Heidi Hoover, a junior at the school.
The bulletin board does not allow anonymous opinions, so all o f those taking part in the discussion knew who they were communicating with, she said.
A peaceful protest also was held April 30 at Delaware State College in Dover, Del., followed by a candlelight vigil May 3.

Congress meeting began with a call for volunteers on May 30 at a student carnival that will be part of that day’s Centennial Jam events. Student Marsha Wood filled Congress in on the details and added that all volunteers would receive a free T-shirt.
The next item was the report disclosing the investigation about the Black Student Union’s concert on Feb. 14. The report showed that the concert, which was to benefit the homeless in Philadelphia, actually lost over $21,000. Most of the money lost comes from money loaned by the Student Activities Fee Allocation ' Committee and BSU’s budget.
Student Provost C hristal Kozloski read a letter that she penned to President Breslin stating that there should have been
more student involvement when Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton came tlast month. The letter was originally supposed to be written by President J.P. Mascaro two weeks previously.
Senior Class President Stacey Crown announced that the last days to go party earned $600 for the senior class. Lesley Mah, senior class vice president said that they are trying to reserve the lighted display at the top of the PECO building for graduation.
The elections com m ittee announced their plan to break a tie in the election o f the Congress Secretary. Many members of Congress convinced them ta postpone this since none of the candidates had been notified.
Congress then voted on next y ear’s budg’et. This budget, w hich divides students’-$75

Continued from page 1doing a concert Lon this campusjyou shouldn’t expect to make aprofit.”
Dr. Carol Smith, the BSU’s advisor, said, “my in itial response to the proposal of doing [the concert] was ‘no ’ ... It remained for Drew to say that this was an absurd amount of money...,but he never did. The thing that’s absurd to me is that it’s all based on the assumption that you’re going to make m oney... if you don’t make money you’re going to lose everything you put in.”
The confusion regarding the amount of funding from SAFAC was further compounded by a “com m unication problem ” referred to in SAFAC’s May 11 report. According to Congress advisor Diana Hackney, the original request for the transfer of $10,000 to the BSU’s operating account was sent via electronic mail to the Comptroller’s office. After no action was taken on the electronic request, a w ritten request was sent over to the C om ptroller’s office w ith a work-study student. The office
then proceeded to fulfill both requests, unintentionally putting twice the requested amount into the BSU’s account. One u^nsac- tion was later reversed, making the net transfer $10,000.
Calling the event a “learning experience,” the SAFAC report went into further detail and gave specific amounts for funding and losses. According to the report, the total actual funding, including $10,000 of SAFAC’s money and $5,000 of the BSU’s own budget, came to $15,425.00. The total actual expenses as given in the report, including $2,218.48 of unpaid or delinquent bills, came to $41,379.58.
As detailed in the report, the revenues from the event, which consisted solely of ticket sales, came to $14,532.12. The report lists $21,847.15 as the total loss from the event, w ith'$10,000 to be absorbed by SAFAC and the other $11,847.15 to be handled by the BSU. The report’s summary concluded with the statement, “An investigation is continuing which may resu lt in referrals to the Judicial Board.”
SAFAC m ember Jason
Livingood had said at the May 4 Student Congress meeting that, “the original problem that was brought up to [SAFAC] was that there was some financial mismanagement among officers at the time, who have since then been asked to step down.” A letter from BSU member Nicole Thome to SAFAC, dated Apr. 24, 1992, stated that the BSU is undergoing a “reorganization p rocess” and that the BSU’s spokesperson and treasurer had been asked to step down. In the letter, Thome also indicated that the BSU’s books were in the process of being examined by the BSU’s president.
When asked for comment on this issue, Thome stated that she was “not interested in talking to The Triangle about this matter.”
Drexel’s Black Student Union incorporates into itself various Drexel organizations such as the NAACP, the Ida B. W ells Cultural Club and the National Association of Black Accountants. As a result it has one of the largest budget allocations among student organizations, $20,500 for the 1991-1992 school year.
The Triangle’s summer publishing dates will be:June 26, Ju ly 10, Ju ly 24, A ugust 7 and A ugust 21.
We ask that all advertising be placed by Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. during the summer.

unusual investments.$1,050 was reserved for pro
bationary funding for groups that are now on probation, but may be eligible for funding later in the year.
activity fee, was passed by a vote o f 19 for, 1 against, and 2 abstentions. The budget includes a substantial increase in the funding o f the Student Programming Board over this year’s Student Programming Association.
Freshman Class Congress- Person-A t-Large Francis Wisniewski presented more figures about building a barbecue on Buckley Green. He announced that it would cost $2000 to build a brick barbecue. The issue was tabled until next week by President Mascaro.
Three new members were added to SAFAC: Stacey Crown, Michael Sing, and Samir Shah. SAFAC will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday to decide which students groups get funding and how much.
Amphibious senior project to raceF rancis W isniewski
NEWsWRrwi Six students’ senior design pro
ject, a amphibious baja car will race in a three day competition sponsored by Soceity for Automotive Engineers with 47 other schools across the country this weekend.
Jeff Foot, Scott Peterson, Ken Dee, Steve Filipe, Greg Gredinich, and Joe Scorone built the car from scratch with the exception of the body which is last year’s model.
They will compete in competi
tions to test the car’s handling, top speed, acceleration, braking, weight pull, stability, balance, land and water manauverablility.
Then in the final competition, they will race in a three h ^ enu- rance race over both land and water. Last year, the car broke down at the competition and was unable to compete.
It has undergone basic testing. Has a five speed transmission, water propulsion system. “We’re looking to be successful unless something breaks that we can’t repair,” Foor said.

Drexel security reports:6 Thefts• Commonwealth Hall• 32nd street between Cherry and Race su-eets• Creese Student Center• Kelly Hall• 32nd and Race streets• 31st and Ludlow streets 2 M otor Vehicle Thefts• “F ’ parking lot (2)2 Vandalisms• Towers Hall• Microcomputer Repair Center
TheftTwo 35mm cameras were taken from an office in
__________ the Creese StudentCenter. The robbery occurred sometime between April 27 and May 7, with no signs of any
forced entry.
A baseball cap was stolen from Kelly Hall. Drexel security states that “most thefts from halls occur as a result of students not locking their room doors,” and encourages students to do so.
n Theft from AutoOn 32nd street between Cherry and Race streets, a jeep’s driver’s
side vent window was smashed and stereo speakers were taken. A car on 31st and Ludlow su-eets was broken into. $2.00 in change was taken.
n VandalismA glass mug was thrown through a window in the Towers dormito
ry. An office window on the first floor was shattered, but nothing was taken from the office.
Prowler threatens valuablesA prowler has been seen wandering around campus, in search
of unattended bookbags or personal valuables. “We would like members of the Drexel community to be aware that [this] individual is operating on campus,” said EHck Rowe of Drexel security.
The individual is described as an African American male between 30 and 35 years of age. He is 6 ’2” and has a heavy build. He wears thick glasses and has been seen wearing a blue jacket and blue jeans, and carrying a green duffel bag.
The prowler is known to enter buildings wlien ihey are open to the public. “He seems to be looking for bookbags, books, or other valuables left unattended,” said Rowe. He has been seen frequently around Commonwealth and the buildings around the Quad.
“He has never posed a threat to anyone,” said Rowe, “but he will grab valuables.”

Licenses and inspections move lunch trucksContinued from page I be hauled away, Antico said, “See, we’re not that mean; we can be reasonable.”
Ira Lee Sorkin, legal counsel for the United Vendors of Philadelphia, a group of over 300 Philadelphia vendors, arrived on the scene to help cahn the situation with the Paun truck. He explained to the Pauns that L&I was within their jurisdiction to remove the cart. After paying the fine and retrieving the Oiick from the city compound, the
Pauns can apply for a license allowing their cart to operate on the street as a truck.
Sorkin said that many of the problems between L&I and the vendors stemmed from the new city adm inistration adhering strictly to vendor ordinances which had in the past been overlooked.
Sorkin explained that he hoped to represent all of the vendors on 32nd street, not all of whom are members of the union, to keep the vendors from “being
picked off one by one.” Sorkin is now trying to get the remaining vendors on 32nd street to join (he union.
Michael Molloy of Michael’s, one of the vendors who has not joined the union, explained that both Sorkin’s group and the L&I people seemed to be working towards sim ilar goals: “Neatness, peace, orderliness, and calm .” However, said Molloy, the problem remains that “there’s more people than spaces.”

O jfe r r a te s t i l l n o t l o w en o u g h
It’s heartening to hear that Drexel’s offer rate (the percentage of applicants who are accepted) will be slightly lower than last year’s appalling rate of 91 percent. The percent line is a psychological mark, and going back under it would be a good step.
But it still isn’t enough. Although we realize that Drexel needs the money that incoming freshman will bring, simply accepting more is a horribly destructive way of raising that money; it hurts the students that are here, the freshmen who are accepted who aren’t ready for the Drexel experience, and, in the long run, it hurts the school.
Bringing students in that aren’t ready hurts them. Coming into the Drexel system is a shock even for students who are qualified for Drexel. But to students who aren’t ready, it’s a nightmare. These students inevitably drop out, wasting the effort that Drexel put into them and perhaps ruining those student’s higher educational careers for good.
Bringing in students indiscriminately hurts Drexel. Unprepared students drop out, raising our attrition rate, which is already high. Faculty get frustrated when the average IQ of their classes plunges, and the best faculty leave for schools where they , are guaranteed to have a class niade up ahnost entirely of quality students. Finally, admitting around 90 percent of our applicants year after year has to send a bad message to prospective applicants.
We. understand that Drexel needs the money. It would be better to have a smaller, more streamlined university with quality students than to be the large sprawling university that we have now. The administration should look to cut some of the bureaucratic fat to save money: this would enable them to be more selective.
Drexel needs to decide whether it’s a major technological and research university, or a safety school. They can’t be both. We know it can’t be done overnight, but we would like to see more signs that Drexel is moving towards lowering the rate.
Congrats to CrewWe would like to congratulate the Drexel crew team
(which includes two Triangle staffers) on their spectacular performance in last week’s Dad Vail regatta. It’s amazing that an underfunded non-scholarship program can be competitive in Division I in this day and age. But the Drexel crew team worked incredibly hard and pulled out its first gold medal in 18 years, as well as finishing strong in countless other races. So congratulations on a job well done.
• E m otion , lo g ic , an d a b ortionEditor:
There has been some discussion of abortion in the Triangle Ed-Op section lately, both pro- choice and pro-life. Such discussion is im portant. H owever, much of it has been laced with logical fallacies, irrelevmit tangents, and emotional ranting. In Older to clarify the points raised by both sides it is important to begin from a common ground.
Abortion is a medical procedure designed to teiminate pregnancy and remove the fetus from a woman’s uterus by chemical or physical means. Period. To define it as “m urder" or a woman’s “basic reproductive right to choose” is to eifgage in ethics by defmition, a basic logical m isstep. Both of. those responses are conclusions, not premises.
Abortion is a moral and legal minefield because it sets off passionate emotions on both sides of the issue. This passion causes a great number of logical errors, many seen on these pages. From what I’ve seen, most are on the pro-choice side of the argument.
One example is a writer who [comp^ed] a pregnant woman to a peach with a pit inside of it. This analogy is ludicrous and can only be accepted by those to whom the ideological ends justify the illogical means. The same writer attacks conservaQve prolife advocates as “violent," using this to reinforce pro-choice
beliefs. This is an o</ hominem attack completely irrelevant to their argument, which must be judged on its own m erits. AnoUier common point raised is that women will be forced to have dangerous illegal abortions. This also skirts the issue. If abortion is morally and ethically wrong, must the government allow it simply because people will do it anyway? If this were so then murder and rape would have been legalized years ago.
While the errors pointed out above are common in pro-choice arguments, the heart of their case comes from an inconsistent interpretation of the nature of our government. They claim that the government is infringing on their rights, specifically their right to privacy. What they’re missing is that the government does that everyday, and more fundament^ly, that is what it was designed to do. Our legislature and our court system are required to balance conflicting “rights" and, if necessary, to deny the weaker to protect the greater. Why can’t I drive 90 miles per hour on 1-95? Why can’t I smoke pot whenever I’d like? Why can’t I play my stereo at ear-shattering volume at 3 AM? Because in each case my right to choose is limited by die governm ent to secure larger rights of others.
We do not live iQ a pure democracy. We live in a demo
cratic republic, and as such we have basic liberties that cannot be violated even by a majority of the people. If an abortion ends a human life that deserves protection, then the argument for abortion based on “free choice” lacks a legal and ethical underpinning. If a fetus is not a unique human being but simply a mass of tissue, then removing a fetus is akin to removing an appendix. Either way the humanity of the unborn child is the crux of the argument and should be the sole focus of the debate. We need to put this issue in the proper context and stop getting lost in specious arguments that lead down ideological blind alleys.
Finally, we need to overturn Roe V. W ade and return the decision making back to states in accordance with the Tenth Amendment. Roe v. Wade was the ultimate attempt by the judiciary to usurp the power of the democratically elected legislatures through overly broad interpretation of the Constitution. No area o f governm ent is as inunune to public pressure or the repercussions of its actions as the Supreme Court. Therefore, we must rely on its self-restraint. Perhaps the current Justices will no longer see the vapor trails left by “emanating penumbras” as an excuse to extend its authority beyond its prescribed bounds.

Nobody can ignore crime's in-your-face realityCrime. An issue I have
always been able to ignore since it was only something I would find out about when voluntarily watching the news, reading the newspaper, or turning on the
radio. Lately, however. I’m finding that even if you don’t look for crime, it will probably find you. Now the word “crim e” encom passes a lo t o f illegal material, but what specifically has caught my attention over the last few weeks has been robbery.
Everyone knows stealing goes on all around us everyday. It is apparent from the signs posted in department stores concerning companies’ policies towards the prosecution o f those caught stealing. Yet it had not occurred to me how bad it actually was until I was a witness to a crime on the Market-Frankford El on my way home from Drexel one time last month.
Now as everyone knows, the El is one of those places where m ost worried m others have
visions of their children slashed to bits by some street gang. What I saw was quite different. I was reading my Russian history book, buried in 8th century Kiev, when suddenly a man arises from a seat close by and yells “You got a problem. Homey?” That’s when I looked across from my seat to where three older teenage boys were trying to rip off a sports team wind breaker from a younger boy. The man who orig inally yelled pulled out a walkie-talkie and called for the police. It freaked me out to think that a crime could be going on right under of my nose and I didn’t notice!
Unfortunately, last Monday night I had no choice but to notice. As I was working in one of Philadelphia’s local f ^ t food restaurants, two gentlem en walked into our store and ordered a couple of burgers. As the crowd cleared ^ e store and only one custom er was left, these two men approached the manager and demanded that she open the safe. One man drew a gun, while the other was at the front counter asking me and another employee to clean out the registers. I was clueless for the first few minutes about what
was going on, but I simply told the gentlemen that I did not have a key to the registers and as soon as the manager came back up I would empty them for him. At this point I was terrified and I asked God if I was going to meet him that evening. I also inquired to see if I was really supposed to die in that fashion.
Before I could entertain these thoughts any longer, a customer walked in and wanted to place an order. I figured the guy holding us up would tell the customer that this was a hold-up and we could not take orders, but he said nothing at all. As I began to realize that nothing was going to be said by this man while the manager was back near the safe with the guimian, I asked to take the custom er’s order and I had the drawer kept open. When the custom er walked out a few seconds later, I emptied the register and stupidly asked the man up front, “Do you want the change, too?” Of course he wanted it. I handed him the bag and then, for some reason, he walked back to the bathroom area out of sight of the front counter — maybe, as stupid as it may seem, to count the money (these guys did not
appear too bright, but they did have the gun).
At this point I couldn’t help but think, “After these guys get all the money, they are going to gather us in a room and shoot us.” Then a guy that worked on the grill ran out of the store, followed by the other person that was with me at the front counter. The guy 1 gave the money to was still near the bathrooms, so I asked myself, “If I leave, will the manager get shot?” As I was asking this question, I looked over my right shoulder to see that the guy who went to the bathrooms was heading back up front, so I somewhat selfishly ran out of the store and went with the others to call the police.
Fuially, the men left and after a chase with the cops escaped with a limited amount of money. No one got hurt, thank God. Four o f us were then brought down to the police station for questioning. As we went down to the station, I was still quite scared and frazzled. When we got there, I realized that in my state o f panic I could not remember what these guys looked like, where the panic button was, or that I could actually open the register without a key. In fact.
the specifics of the event, like who told me we were being robbed, or what others around me were doing, was all a blur.
To tq) this all off, at the station these two college-aged guys walked in. One had on a pair of plaid, Drexel, boxer shorts. I felt really smart and asked, “Do you guys go to Drexel?” As it turned out (to my surprise), they were. They were also just robbed, out o f $300 dollars at a MAC machine on 41st and Sansom. The police caught these criminals, and the Drexel guys were only there to press charges and get their money back.
It seems there is no escaping the reality of the age in which we live. People are actually willing to threaten another life for money. Now since I work at a fast food restaurant, I am no stranger to lack of cash. If I could say anything about this experience, it would be that I am just thankful to God to be alive.
I also learned the hard way that one could try and ignore what you read, hear, and watch, but it may be better to learn from others so that you are better prepared for incidents that involve everyone’s favorite person — themselves.
T h o u g h ts o n LA v io le n c e fro m o n e w h o w a s th ereDamn. I didn’t want to do
this. As a recent alumnus that’s moved to Southern California, I thought it would be fun to write a cutesy column about the aging yuppies and W ayne’s W orld
look-alikes that populate the area. However, the locals don’t seem to have that healthy appreciation for bitching and moaning about the world that they live in. Kyle Baker described California as “an entire state... consisting entirely of people who are oblivious to the fact that they live in Hell.” He was right They’re too cheerful to realize how miserable they are, and that they should be griping. So I decided to write the column for my old school paper in Philly, where kvetching has been honed to a fine art.
Then they burned down Los Angeles. I really don’t want to write this column.
Being The Triangle’s only correspondent in California, I feel somehow that I have to write it. People at Drexel are probably wondering if that kind of violence can happen at home. (Or, at least, they SHOULD be wondering.) I don’t claim to be any kind of expert on the matter, but I can at least give you the opinion of a person who’s lived in and around Philly all of his life, and was 30 m iles away from the riot when it happened. I was in Delaware County when the MOVE house went up in flam es, and I w ill always rem em ber that day, but that didn’t even come close to what it was like out here.
I ’m stalling ... I still don’t want to write this. It’s not that I don't want to be controversial or serious in a column; I just don’t want to w rite this because it makes me so angry. Every time
I try to write this, I get up and s tart pacing with my hands clenched in tight fists. This has been the most colossal product of stupidity that I have ever seen.
Racism. Violence. Police brutality. Lbs Angeles doesn’t hold a patent on these things. I ’ve known three people personally that have been beaten by the Philadelphia Police, and have had friends at Drexel that have experienced seriously overt racism. Does Philly have all the ingredients it needs to erupt into a riot? Can we expect a repeat of L.A.?
Not unless we get the last crucial ingredient. Here’s the part where the stupidity kicks in. George Bush said on TV that the rio t had nothing to do with racism or police brutality . I agree with him. Los Angeles was the victim of one o f the greatest brain-fucks that the world has ever known. Forgive me for not using a more polite term — nothing else really £^plies.
For weeks, viewers in the Los Angeles area were treated to watching that video of Rodney King getting beaten over and over again; they probably watched that more times than they watched the Challenger blow up. Each time, the question of whether it was a racial beating emanated from the tub'e. Was this beating a racial incident? After a while it didn’t matter if it was or not - dubbing the question over the footage again and again had labeled.it as one.
I don’t know enough about L.A. cops to com m ent on whether there are a lot of racists on the force; I do know that of the three guys I knpw who got beaten at Drexel, two were Caucasian and one was Asian (and two of them probably deserved it). So my mind doesn’t automatically make that jump from police violence to racism. Not, like I said before, that the motives of the police mattered
with respect to the effect.What really mattered was that
the cops were white, and King was black. If they were all white, or all black, it wouldn’t be news. Since they were different colors, and since the footage was good, i( was a prime-time event. Hell, if the cops were all d isabled homosexuals, and Rodney was Jewish, it would have won a Pulitzer Prize.
These stories are hate-genera- tors that are put on to pull people’s heartstrings to the breaking point. Conflicts between individuals of two races aren’t always
racial; and even if the King case was caused by bigotry, the citizens of L.A. could have done w ithout the repetitive b rain washing of bate. I feel that it is a news station’s job to report as im partially as possible what gofes on in the world, and let people know when it is editorializing. Then all the people will know what’s going on, and can take in te lligen t action. Unfortunately for L.A., the news our here is broadcast from in and around Hollywood — you can definitely tell the difference.
The Rodney King riot was a
great big marker in the histwy of sociology. TV has been getting progressively better at doing an emotional tap-dance on viewers; this is the first time that we’ve seen what the power to do that can release. We saw that “hard sell” could mentally devastate a population as badly as an atom bomb could physically . And Koreatown looks a hell of a lot like post-b litzk rieg London these days...
Damn. I just read over that line about “hard-sell” that 1 just wrote. That’s BS. We didn’t see

Ed-op editor's last words: Give it a restAfter about 25 weeks as the
Editorial Page Editor I’ve decided to pack it in and resign my post. My decision is partly due to burnout, but m ostly it’s because I’m a senior and just
On Nobody's
Dan Morrowfeel like grabbing as much free time that I can.
During my tenure here there have been columnists to write about such topics as Israel, David Duke and abortion concerns. Something that has been done to death (yes, even more than Israel, Ari) is The Triangle's recent fight with Student Congress.
Unless you never read our noble tabloid, you would know about The Triangle's ptohlems with our student government. To abbreviate for those unfamiliar with this, the Student Congress decided to audit all student organizations. A lthough The Triangle is a student organization, we receive no money from Student Congress. Hence, We politely told them to go stick their audit where the sun refuses to shine. All of this resulted in a debate between both parties last
week, from which a decision is still pending.
Between the initial notification by Student Congress about the audit and last week’s debate, there have been a barrage of columns reinforcing our position. In each o f the columns written. The Triangle was portrayed as some kind of virginal haven of the free press which Student Congress was trying to defiower.
Each of these columns were well written, insightful and passionate, but somehow I became disenchanted with them . It wasn't because of their content, it was solely because the topic became beaten to death.
I can understand that this issue was one close to many of the colum nists at this paper (mine included), but it ju s t seemed like overkill. I used to believe that columnists should be perm itted to write about whatever is on their minds as long as it is well written. Today, I would like to amend that belief by stating that a colum nist should know when they have lost their audience.
When I was a freshman, the first section of the paper I would turn to was the Ed-C^ section. I enjoyed reading what those people were thinking about and getting a different viewpoint from
that of my own. That is what 1 expected this section to be when I took the helm. Unfortunately, it became diluted with columns on our boycott of the Student Congress audit. It seemed as if there was nothing else worth writing about — and that breeds boredom, irritation and reader disinterest.
This issue, although important to the future o f The Triangle, is (more likely than not) not especially important to the nearly 6000 people who read it. Inflating this issue to the maximum made The Triangle look like a thin-skinned crybaby.
I guess some of the blame for this rests on my shoulders. I probably should have suggested early on that readers grow weary of hearing about the same Uiing over and over again. But then again, if I did suggest to quit writing about the Triangle's problems I would probably have had a small section as a result.
So, as I leave, 1 would like to add that I have no animosity towards the people who wrote for the Ed-Op section — they were all a pleasure to work with and all were good writers. But I would like to suggest that, in the future, they diversify a little and try not to inflate the importance o f something which does not affect a majority of the readers.

• Police-Drexel relationship clarified
Editor:This letter pertains to an article which appeared in your May 1
1992 edition, entitled “Police crack down on lunch trucks.” The article paraphrases certain comments I verbally made to your rqxwter M. Scott Smith. I wish to retract and clarify one comment which was attributed to me.
The article concludes with my comment concerning the lines of communication between Drexel Security and the Commanders of the Philadelphia Police Department’s 16th and 18th Districts While the article does not quote my exact words, the paraphrasing does take the comment out of context.
The 16th and 18th Districts have recently changed commanders with Captain Mitchell Vanak now commanding the 16th District and Captain John McGinnis now commanding the 18 th District Although I have not met CapL McGinnis, I have met C ^ t. Vanak and have found him to be a completely professional and personable individual. Both Capts. McGinnis and Vanak have rendered valuable assistance to our department, considering their brief tour as commanders of their respective districts. My comments were in no way meant as an affront to either individual.
My comments were based on the general knowledge that during such changes of conunand a certain period of time will lapse [sic] for one commander to get to know and learn to trust other individuals who are not part of the police community. However, I failed to take into consideration the fact that Drexel's Director of Security, James Powell, is a former District Commander. Therefore, this normal period of adjustment did not occur.
Furthermore, my comments concerning Drexel Security’s ability to prevent an arrest by a Philadelphia police officer should have been worded differently. [A] member of Drexel Security could possibly have acted as a counselor to the student and liaison between the students and the police to prevent such an occurrence.I did not literally mean that we have any type of authority over the Philadelphia Police Department. The comment was intended to mean that we have an excellent working relationship with the officers who work in the [police] districts covering Drexel, and as such we should have been able to advise the student [on] when to follow the [arresting] officer’s instructions.
Richard E. RoweAssistant Manager Pinkerton Securi^
First-hand com m entary from LAContinued from page 7 a thing. I don’t thmk anyone out here really noticed. The press were the only winners to come out of that disaster. The police that beat Rodney King are going to be found guilty at their next trial, regardless of their guilt. No one wants to risk another riot. The LAPD has a huge black eye that will take years to overcome. Our own Willie Williams, the new chief, is stuck with one of the hardest jobs of the 90s, establishing order in a city that destroyed itself out of hatred for the police. Rodney King has an emotional scar that is probably worse than the beating itself. (Try to imagine what you’d feel like if your hometown was looted and burned with thousands of injuries and arrests, and it was all done in your name — I can’t.)
AH of the citizens of Southern California, whether they were
direct victim s or not, have received a huge emotional and economic blow. We don’t even realize how big it was out here yet. The press came out smelling like a rose. They got some great footage of the riots which they’ve been showing about as much as the actual King beating. The looting and the fires and the beating that Uiey got on tape is a network producer’s dream. They also got oodles of human interest stories on devastated businesses and the cleanup effort. Christ, last night I saw a feature done by the sportscaster on channel 4 on how many of the firefighters are ex-athletes. It’s unbelievable how much they’re milking this. Not only that, but the news shows are sponsoring rebuilding efforts so that they can pose as the heroes o f the day. Again, my hands are clenched in fists.
So that’s my opinion on why the riot happened. I hope that you watch out for this type of idiocy on the tube so that we don’t have a similar tragedy back home. Thankfully, the coverage of the MOVE disaster in Philly w asn’t nearly as much o f a media circus as the King riot If it was, Osage Avenue may not have had the only block to bum. I won’t say that local coverage in the city of brotherly love is much better than it is out here; I’ll just strongly infer it.
And please remember that for every racist extremist that you see dragged out from under their respective rocks on TV, there are a hell of a lot more of us who are whites and blacks that don’t hate each other, and treat each others as equals, and we’re not a bunch of “patronizers” or “sell-outs” either.

E n te r ta in m e n tHey Babe spotlights Juliana Hatfield on her own
Every year, just about this time, a disc comes out tbat quickly establishes itself as the “beach album” of the summer — an album you can dance on the beach to, squish your toes in the sand to, and watch the waves hit t|ie shore to. Last year’s
Corporate Rock StiU Sucks
A n it a j . M ic h e l
beach album was Voice of the Beehive’s Honey Lingers which featured the pure pop single “Monsters and Angels.” This year’s beach album is also feminine in nature, but it rocks a bit
harder than last years selection. Drum roll please...the Beach Album for 1992 is Juliana H a tfie ld ’s Hey Babe, ju st released on Mammoth Records.
For those unfamiliar with her, Juliana Hatrield is the singer/ bassist/songwriter for Boston’s own Blake Babies. She’s got a really sweet voice, and really knows how to rock. Her lyrics deal w ith unrequited love, relationships, having fun, and being miserable. Granted, it may be labeled as “chick rock,” but it’s chick rock with an intelligent, witty, street smart attitude. Juliana’s music isn’t like the dreck that the Top 40 women produce, not by a long shot.
On Hey Babe, Juliana plays most of the guitar and bass, and is helped out by Todd Philips (Bullet LaVolta) on drums, and M ike Leahy (Blake Babies, D um ptruck) on guitar. The guests on this disc include John W esley Harding, Mike Watt (fIREHOSE), and Clay Tarver (Bullet LaVolta). All of these talents blend together into one disc full of pure enjoyment and very few clunkers.
Hey Babe’s lead-off song, and current single, is the innocuously sweet “Everybody Loves Me But You,” which is racking up lots of airplay on the city’s alternative stations. Sure, admittedly, it oozes “cute,” but it’s
Juliana Hatfield is her own woman and can get her own beer, thank you! She proves it on ‘Hey Babe. ’
Pantera gets vulgar on ‘Power*Not too long ago, I was visidng my'&iend Brian
who lives in New York. He and 1 have similar tastes in music, and he’s always turning me on to new bands and albums. So it was no surprise when he greeted me with an enthusiastic endorsement of a new favorite: __________________________
Know Three Chords and Grimace Musically
S t e v e B o j a n o w s k i
“Yoa'we gotta get the new Pantera disc!”He handed me the jewel box to inspect. The
cover pictured a face being pummeled by a fist. To the right of the Parental Advisory label was the disc’s tide — Vulgar Display of Power.
If any band could get away with a tide like that, I thought, Pantera was it. T heir last album. Cowboys From Hell, displayed them as one of the truest-sounding new dirash bands to come out in the last few years. Not since the fledgling days of M etallica and M egadeth have has any band captured such raw aggression on a record. The members of Skid Row even site it as an inspiration for the heavier sound on their last album. Slave to the Grind.
“Here, let me play a couple tunes for you,” said Brian as he cued up two tracks. “This first one’s called ‘This Love.’”
“This Love ?” I thought great, they’re doing sellout ballads like “Nothing Else Matters” already. I started to woiry. Besides, Brian is also into some cheesy bands like Ratt and Firebouse (Firehouse? Eek!). He actually digs power ballads. I got seriously worried.
The tune started with a slow clean-tone guitar playing a slightly sinister aipeggiated chord progression. Pretty cool, I thought. As the verse ended
with the line “I’d kill myself for you /I’d kill you for myself,’’ I could tell that this was no ordinary IMad. Suddenly, the music erupted into a sledgehammer guitar riff with singer Philip Anselmo screaming the lyrics “You keep this LOVE! FIST! LOVE! SCAR! LOVE! BREAK!" So much for my fe^s of Pantera wussing out.
Every other song that Brian played from Vulgar Display of Power were equally if not more bone- crushingly intense (please pardon the clich6, you try to think of some synonyms for “heavy”). From the unbelievable power groove of “Regular People” to the distorted mic treatment of “Fucking Hostile,” the entire album gives the effect of being smashed in the head with a crowbar.
Guitarist Diamond Darrell is die band's main creative force, and a killer player besides. He guides bassist Rex and drummer Vinnie Paul through some of the crunchiest speed/lhrash riffs around. And he's one of the few metal players whose solos actually make sense. He also knows how to use bizarre sounding effects to create harsh moods. It shouldn’t be too long until he’s on the cover of all the guitar hero mags.
In fact, don’t be surprised if Pantera becomes the “next big thing” in metal. When trash came about, it was seen as the fusion of punk and metal. Vulgar Display Of Power comes close to being the purest example of die genre to yet be recorded. If you were disappointed by Metallica, Uien Pantera will surely satisfy your mosh needs.
cute with an edge and an atti- nide. Sample the lyrics: “Well I wake up every morning and the first thing that I say is that I hope I can make it through another lonely d ay” and “Beauty and brains is all that I ’ve got/A cold, cold bed and a broken heart/Everybody loves me but you/But nobody undoes me like the thought of you can do/They search my eyes but I don't know why/Because all they ever do is cry/Everybody loves me but you. ” This is the most original upbeat song about unrequited love diat has come out in quite a while, featuring cool guitar woik, and nice drumming from Todd Philips. It’s also the perfect length for a pop song, clocking in a just about 3:30. If this song doesn’t get you kicking the sand about, nothing will.
The disc progresses into a few more upbeat tunes of jangly, sweet pop, but with twists, such as the jazzy sounding “Lost and Saved,” which shows the true range of Juliana’s voice. In the tune “1 See You,” she manages to make light of die subject of obsession wiUi lyrics “I’d rather have you in my mind than completely out of sight/So I'll just go on dreaming for the rest of my life..."
However, Hey Babe is not without it’s downers and serious sides. Songs such as “The
Lights,” and “N irvana" get down, dirty, and grungy. “Get Off Your Knees” features Mike Watt on bass. It really smokes, but Juliana's vocals are mixed so low, they sound muddy and undecipherable. “No Outlet" and “No Answer” are mid-tempo rockers that compliment die disc nicely.
One of the prettiest and simplest songs on Juliana’s disc is the celebration of self-doubt diat all women have felt at one lime or another in their lives. I t’s called “Ugly,” and it features Juliana solo, with her guitar. This song w on’t m ake you dance, it will make you curl up in a fetal position and watch the waves hit die shore at sunset: “I don't look at faces/I look at my feet/I'm all alone as I walk down my street/I want to live but I stay in my seat/'Cause I'm ugly/With a capital U/And I don't need a mirror to see that's it’s true..."
All in all. Hey Babe is a perfect summer album. It’s just the right mix of pop, sweemess, mellowness, and self-doubt, with a little bit o f anger and attitude thrown in. It will make you dance, it will make you Uiink. It makes good car tunes.
Now, if I could only find some guy to drive me down to Rehoboth Beach or Assateague Island so I can give it a lest run.......

j-Aikido club formingRobert L aessig, J r .
News W riter To bring back into hannony ) mind with the body in a nat-
rhythm could be an effec- study brieak for the highly
Istressed individual. This may be ifacilitated by learning the non- Iresistant self-defense skills of fKi-Aikido.
Ki-Aikido is a method of I harmonizing one's energy, spir- ; it, mind, and a greater universal I force to pro tect oneself and ‘ empower those around you in daily life. Physical strength is not needed to effectively defend oneself or even an attacker from violent acts.
A K i-A ikido club is now forming at Drexel University. This Aikido club has affiliations with the International Ki Society and is a branch of the Philadelphia Ki Society. Kim Sorvig, a shodan, first degree black belt in Ki-Aikido, has come from the University of Pennsylvania to instruct the club as a next step in his advanced practice.
Sorvig p ractices Zen Buddhist meditation and traveled to Japan to live in a Zen m onastery for a year before becom ing involved with Aikido.
Sorvig feels that Aikido is ^propriate for people to learn, especially students. Focus and concentration, along with the re su lt o f re laxation , is paramount. Rejuvenation is also acquired from extending good Ki energy. The four basic princ iples o f unifying mind and body are taught and are physically tested in practice. This provides a direct affirmation for the student's awareness of personal Ch’i development.
The International Ki Society d iffers from other styles of Aikido in the fact that there is a strong emphasis on Ch’i. Sorvig states that one w.ay to try to describe Ch’i is “how you integrate the intent of your mind and the expression of it in your body - to do that you have to use energy but you have to have the right attitude and you have to be directed.”
M any people o f the Ki Society believe that Ch’i is

worth learning in and of itself, even if members don't learn a single technique for throwing people around. Sorvig would like to se« good practice, effective Aikido, and self-developm ent come out o f D rexel’s Aikido club.
Most importantly, he would like to see a lot o f personal growth in people, not just the ability to do the techniques of Aikido. He would also like to see more women participate, as this martial art is ideally suited to neu tra lize an a ttacker's strength and size.
“Aikido is forceful in the same way a tidal wave is; a tidal wave comes in a big tube, coming in sideways and there’s so m uch energy coming at you ,” said Sorvig. “There’s nothing hard about it, but it will still roll you into the next county.”
A ccording to Sorvig, stu dents can join the club at any time for a $25 fee. Practices are held M onday and Thursday nights from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m . in room 212 o f the Physical Education Athletic Center.
Softball team loses to Boston at ECACS(X)Tr W nxwM s
S p o r t s E o n o R
The Drexel softball team ended a successful season with disappointing losses to Boston University (4-0) and Providence College (1-0) in last weekend’s East Coast Athletic Conference tournament at Providence. The Lady Dragons recorded one impressive extra-ii^ing victory over Robert Morris to post a 1-2 record for the weekend. North Atlantic Conference opponent Boston walked away with its second tournament trophy in two weeks, as it defeated Providence in the championship game., This was the first-ever appearance in the ECAC tournament for the Lady Dragons, and it marked the end of the longest season in the history of Drexel softball. The team posted a record of 34- 21 under the direction of first- year Head Coach Joyce Maudie.
“I'm happy, but not satisfied," Maudie said. “We let down in what could have been the best tournament of the year for us, and it was disappointing to see a successful season end that way.”
Drexel lost the North Atlantic
Conference championship two weeks ago to Boston, after controlling the conference with nine regu- lar-season wins and only one loss. The Lady Dragons had their chance to avenge that loss to Boston in the first round of the ECAC tournament, but were unable to score a run as the Terriers took the game by a score of 4-0. Drexel had only three hits in the game.
“We played well, and it just didn't work out for us,” Maudie said. “Heather [Frey] got off to a shaky start, and we didn't pull out of it.”
Drexel’s offense resurfaced against Robert Morris, however, as Drexel erupted with 13 hits. The 4- 3, nine-inning victory left Drexel facing Providence in a battle to meet Boston in the final game, but the Lady Dragon offense disappeared as quickly as it had surfaced. Providence held Drexel to just four hits and no runs as it captured a 1-0 victory.
“I'm not sure I can put my finger on what our problem was,” Maudie said. “We lacked the- intensity needed to win the game.”
The 1992 season was the fourth
consecutive winning one for Drexel, and several new records were set by this year’s team. A record number of games played (56) resulted in the team being one win shy of the most wins in a season (35). New marks were set for hits in one game (21 versus Maine), doubles in one game (six versus Maine), hits (382), runs scored (221), RBIs (166), triples (22), homeruns (6), at-bats (1509), total bases (486) and innings pitched (390.1) in one season.
“It was an interesting year,” Maudie said. “I learned a lot, and it had its ups and downs. Hopefully we will be able to build on our successes of this year.”
According to Maudie, four or five new recruits have committed to Drexel so far, and she is looking for a few more.
“We have some big shoes to fill with the seniors leaving,” she said. “I feel really fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them, but it's unfortunate I only had one year with them I've really appreciated their leadership, and I wish them the best.”

C r e w p u t s o n D r e x e l ’s b e s t s h o w a t D a d V a i lsFive finals a school record, men's coxed pair wins goldA d a m B l y w e i s s
N ews Writer
Last week’s wet ‘n’ wild 54th running of the Dad Vail Regatta, the national collegiate rowing c h a m p io n sh ip s h e ld on the Schuylkill River, featured blinding ra in , a th re e -h o u r “w ind delay" on Thursday, capsizing boats and a fo u r-h o u r debris cleanup on Saturday.
The regatta was m emorable for more reasons than the weather, however. Drexel crew had its best D ad Vail perform ance in the 35-year history of the team. The team set a school record by placing five boats in this year’s flnals, and one of those boats, the m en’s pair with coxswain, won the gold medal and the Tom Curran Cup.
Matt Ward, Kent Werner and coxsw ain A dam B lyw eiss — who had rowed as a tandem for only 10 days prior to the Curran Cup race — are the first Drexel crew members to p lace in the D ad Vail R egatta in 15 years and the f irs t D ad V ail go ld medalists in 18. The coxed pair is only the third Drexel boat ever to win a Dad Vail final.
Although listed as a pair-with competitor, race officials did not originally announce D rexel at the start of the Curran Cup race and had to squeeze a seven-boat race onto a six-lane course; after three tries, the race got under way. Ward and Werner rowed at a rale of 39 strokes a minute to lead at the start and settled to 32 for the majority of the race.
"Lane zero” was a challenge for (he boat; a nagging steering p rob lem and sw ift bu t very rou gh w ate r s lo w ed D rex e l somewhat over the middle 1,000 m eters, allow ing W ash ing ton C ollege in lane five to com e within a half-length of the lead. W ith about 750 m eters to go, however, W ashington fell o ff the pace and Drexel picked up.
H aving led the en tire way, Drexel assured victory by sprinting to the finish at a 35 rate, winning in 7:56:8. The time was over 18 seconds faster than that
o f s eco n d -p lace M cG ill University, and over 29 faster than th ird -p lac e M arie tta College.
D rexel’s new m en’s varsity four (Joe Simonson, Pat Begley, Chris B latney, Sean Hodgson, coxswain Ted Swanson), under Head Coach Stephen Orova, survived three races p rior to the U.T. Bradley Trophy final with the M arine A cadem y and the un iversitie s o f Rhode Island, M innesota , B ritish C olum bia and Pittsburgh. In a race where all boats crossed the finish line in a span of just over seven seconds, Drexel came in foujth with a time of 6:48:8, behind UBC, URl, and Minnesota.
O ro v a ’s m e n ’s v a rs ity l ig h tw e ig h t e ig h t (D ave M cG o vern , B rian B ard w ell, Mike Martin, Bill Pauling, Sean C rane , D oug Z uback , Sean M aloney , C huck G a llag h e r , coxswain M ike Fahy) got into the final for the James Anderson Trophy with the C oast Guard Academ y, Ithaca College, the University of W estern Ontario and G eo rge tow n and St. Joseph’s universities. W estern
O ntario , G eorgetow n and the C o as t G u ard took m edals ; D rexel f in ished fifth , w ith a 6:18:89 run.
R ac ing for the L indy Cup championship on Saturday was the m e n ’s nov ice fou r (John B ell, P au l W izem an , D rew Helm, G reg F ilosa, coxsw ain Dm deVeer), coached by Steve W ann er an d W alte r E lm . M arietta won the gold and the cup in 7:24 flat, with the Marine Academy and Ithaca taking silver and bronze, respectively ; Drexel came in sixth, at 7:52:4.
The men’s novice lightweight e ig h t (Josh T hek , K evin M cN am ara , V ic to r V azquez , J im M o ran , D oug V aughen , R oss Peet, D uncan W idm an, Brian Turner, coxswain Gwyn Krimmel), winner and sole qualifier in its Thursday heat, came into the Brendan Lynch Trophy final hot on the heels of rowing pow ers su ch as F ordham University, Georgetown and the C oast G uard . T hose three sch o o ls , how ever, sw ept the medals in that race in that order; D rexel f in ished six th , w ith a time o f 6:41:5.
Drexel’s new men’s “B” division varsity eight (Dave Radler, Ed Zwiling, Noal Silber, Steve K ing, M ike D av id o ff , R yan Tou tm an , T im B rouse , D av e K auffm an , co x sw a in T o d d Stoltzfuss) reached the Saturday sem ifinals but cam e up sho rt against W orcester Polytechnic Institute and the universities of Delaware and Central F lorida. Those three schools finished the R ichard O ’Brien Cup fina l in that order.
The w o m en ’s v a rs ity l ig h tw e ig h t e ig h t (N e re a W illiam s, B rid g e t D u P o n te , A ndi H errit t, L in d a M o o n , Diana Panaritis, Chanda Butler, Rita Langen, D enise H arding , coxswain Nicky Econome) came in fourth in its semifinal, ju st out of the running for that division’s final. The boat, coached by Ed McKenna, finished behind eventua l g o ld -m ed a lis t F lo r id a Institute of Technology, eventual b ro n ze -m ed a lis t U R I and Holy Cross University.

Going into its final weekend of the season, Drexel had lost 11 of14 and was looking at a three game set with the University of Vermont with many questions. T he D ragons m ade the jo u rn e y to Hartford to take on the Catamounts at a neuU'al site in three contests that had originally been schedu led fo r M arch 22 and 23 in Philadelphia, but were postponed due to snow.
In game one, Drexel posted a 4-2 victory and rode the arm of senior righthander Ryan Schaible who allowed only one earned run on six hits in posting the victory in his final outing. The Dragons u-ailed, 2-0, for most o f the game, until a sixth-inning three-run home run by sophomore designated hitter Chris Agliotta gave Drexel the lead for good.
Drexel sent senior righthander Joe Morgan to the mound in the second game of the doub leheader. The C atam ounts p roceed ed to pound out 12 h iu and jumped out to an early 4-0 lead they would never relinquish.
The Dragons collected nine hits o f their own (three by sophomore centerfielder Rob Geddes), but fell victim to a crucial Vermont
double play in the sixth inning that sealed their fate.
Sunday’s single game brought better fortunes to Drexel, who sent senior righthander Anthony Agbay to the m ound for the last game of the season. Agbay delivered with seven shutout innings o f four hit baseball, while sttiking out two and walking six. The 1-0 Dragon victory was secured with a solo home run by sophomore first baseman Steve Lang in the fourth inning. However, nothing in recent Drexel baseball memory could have been more dramatic than the game’s ending.
With the tying run on second and two outs in the seventh, A gbay show ed s igns of fatigue. On a 1-2 pitch, Vermont shortstop Dave Tessicini lined a single to left field that appeared to be enough to drive in the lying run. However, Drexel leftfielder Ed Burke proceeded to throw a perfect strike to qatcher Felix Donato to cut down Vermont rightfield- er Sean Benoit and preserve the Drexel win.
Both Burke and Donato were mobbed on the field in the post-game celebration that ended the Dragon season with a record of 19- 26. The 19 wins broke the old record of 15 set in 1985. The Dragons also finished with 10 victories in the North Atlantic Conference and sported an 8-5 marie at Drexel Field.
For the second consecutive year, senior second baseman Jim McNesby led the Dragons in hitting with a .321 average. He also led the club in at bats (156, a single season all-time record), runs (23), hits (50), RBI’s (21) and doubles (9). Junior rightfielder Jon Schaffer also sported impressive offensive numbers. He led the team in triples (2), stolen bases (17) and on base percentage (.409). He finished behind McNesby in runs (22), hits (40) and batting average (.313), while finishing second to Burke (28) in walks with 22.
Drexel was led mainly on the mound by two seniors. Agbay finished with the team lead in ERA (2.86) and assists by a pitcher (26). He hurled 66 innings, allowing 63 hits,32 runs and 21 earned runs. The M ichigan native su~uck out 44 and walked 31 in posting a 3-5 record with a save. Schaible was nairow- ly edged for the ERA lead in the last game of the season by Agbay and finished with a 2.90 mark.
Schaib le w ent 4-5 and led the s ta f f in innings pitched (68.1), gam es started (11), complete games (6), shutouts (2) and strikeouts (51). Freshman righthander Rob Putnam was also a strong contributor, leading the club in wins with five, while appearing in 11 games and starting five.
