Liquor board cites

SOP for violations The liquor license of Some

Other Place Pub, 110 N. Main St., was cited Wednes- day night by the Ohio Department of Liquor Con- trol for allowing bar employees to permit patrons to have physical contact with male exotic dancers.

The license also was cited for selling intoxicating liquor to a person under the age of 21, according to William Pitts, investigator in charge of the department's Toledo district. Criminal charges also were filed against the bartender who allegedly il- legally sold the liquor and against the patron who pur- chased the liquor.

Wednesday night was the first time the pub featured male dancers. The three men danced before a capaci- ty all-female crowd for about two hours.

The liquor department's report will be forwarded to the state attorney general's office and a hearing will be held before the Ohio Liquor Commission, Pitts said.

A guilty verdict could mean a suspension of SOP's license. However, owner Ken Corbett said he would appeal a suspension.

Corbett also said that despite the charges, he will not stop featuring male dancers.

Charged with selling intox- icating liquor to a person under the age of 21 is Ronald M. O'Connor, 23, of 810 Fifth St., a bartender. Kelley Jack Keiser, 19, a University freshman, is charged with buying liquor when underage.

Both are slated to appear before Bowling Green Municipal Court at 2:30 p.m. Monday.

Moore summoned in class action suit

University President Hollis A. Moore Jr. yesterdaj afternoon was served a sum- mons regarding the class ac- tion suits filed by two Nor- thern Illinois coaches against the University an 20 other state institutions in four states charging unfair treat- ment of women coaches.

The suits, filed by NIU's head volleyball coach Deborah Brue and women's golf and gymnastics coach Roberta Farrick, named all Mid-American Conference schools and 11 universities in Illinois as defendants.

Brue and Farrick are seek- ing $250,000 in damages from each institution to reimburse all women coaches from the schools involved for the ine- quities that allegedly have occurred.

Moore declined to com- ment until he has a chance to discuss with University legal counsel the implica- tions of the summons, served by the U.S. marshal's office in Toledo.

University of Toledo Presi- dent Glen R. Driscoll also received a summons yester- day. He declined comment saying that he was turning the matter over to the university's attorney, B. Gary McBride.

SGA plans co-op book service; project to operate over the phone

by Bart Porter stall reporter

Booklovers rejoice and mid- dlemen beware: The Student Government Association is planning a co-op book service for University students to buy and sell used textbooks without in- terference from campus and area bookstores.

According to SGA Senator Lori L. Herbert, one of the coordinators of the project, the co-op will be an extension of the SGA student book catalog that operated fall quarter. The catalog allowed students to send cards with their names, telephone numbers and the books they wanted to sell to the SGA office for distribution in a pam- phlet.

The new project, to begin spring quarter, will operate like the SGA Dial-a-Ride service, Herbert said.

•Students will call the co-op line in the SGA office and tell what books they want to sell or will need to buy for the next quarter," she said.

THIS INFORMATION will be

recorded, and the students wishing to sell books will be matched with students needing to buy them, Herbert said.

"This way, SGA acts as the middleman, and the students will handle the financial ends them- selves," she said.

Cory M. Selbrede, SGA presidential assistant, initiated the idea fall quarter after observing a similar system in operation at the University of Houston, Herbert said.

However, there the student government organization bought, stored and sold books like a bookstore, she added.

"We're not trying to slight the campus bookstore in any way. The money they make is needed to pay their bills and they aren't out to make a profit," Herbert said.

We're simply trying to make it more convenient for students to buy their books and at a better price.

"PEOPLE COMPLAIN every quarter about the high cost of books, and this is one way of eliminating it," she said.

The co-op also will allow

University students to avoid long lines at the bookstores each quarter and to arrange to sell their books before finals week, Herbert said.

She hopes to obtain the bookstore's list of instructors who have changed textbooks for their courses, so students will not buy books that won't be used.

SGA is attempting to have another telephone installed in its office so the co-op will not be operated on the same phone as the Dial-a-Ride service, she said.

TO OPERATE a bookstore, SGA would have to find a place to sell the books, additional space to store them and people to work in the store, she said.

"We didn't think this would allow much of a discount to students, so we decided to take the place of the middleman and help students contact each other.

Senators will be available to answer the phone, probably bet- ween 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and no additional workers will be needed, she added.

Bissextile Red-petti coated women get their men this year

by Anne Patton

Today, a gray haired grand- father will turn 14, a nine-year-old will be eligible to run for the presidency, 120,000 Americans will celebrate their first true birthday since 1976, and young men, if they value their independence, will beware of women in scarlet pet- ticoats.

These are just some of the myths that surround Feb. 29, the day that marks this a leap year.

Why an extra day in February this year? It takes the earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.7 seconds to completely circle the sun. To make up for the extra time and keep the calendar in line with the seasons, Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 added an extra day to each fourth year.

The Gregorian calendar eliminated the days between Oct. 4 and Oct 14 of that year in order to get the seasons back in line. Accor- ding to Senior Scholastic magazine, although the Roman Catholic world immediately accepted the Gregorian calendar, England and the American colonies did not adopt it until 1752. Even then, crowds in London demanded: "Give us back our eleven days!"

The correct name for the year

with the extra day is the Roman word "bissextile" (with two sixes), but the reason for the term leap year is unknown. According to one theory, Feb. 29 causes subsequent dates to "leap" over a day of the week instead of falling just one day later than the previous year. For example, a date falling on a Mon- day one year will leap over Tueday to Wednesday on the following year.

ANOTHER THEORY involves the symbol of Father Time, who leaps once every fourth year from his normally measured pace. Still another theory says that Feb. 29 was "leaped over" in English court records, and whatever happened on Feb. 29 was recorded on Feb. 28.

Folklore has it that leap year br- ings "the ideal excuse for a young lassie to pop the question to the gentleman of her choice." There are several reasons for this belief. Some say it can be traced to an old legend about St. Patrick and St. Bridget in Ireland in the fifth cen- tury.

In the days before celibacy was mandatory for priests and nuns, Bridget, who headed a group of nuns, supposedly came to Patrick in tears. There was much anxiety and unrest among her women, she

declared, because of the unfair tradition that prohibited women from taking the initiative in mar- riage proposals.

St. Patrick was sympathetic, so the legend has it, and said he would allow the women to propose each seventh year. Bridget begged that the right be allowed every four years, and Patrick obliged by giv- ing them leap year. Bridget then proposed to Patrick who declined, but consoled her with a kiss and a silk gown.

THIS EXPLANATION may only ne legend, but by the Middle Ages, according to Robert Myers, author of "Celebrations," an unwritten law prevailed in the British Isles that a single man bold enough to decline a woman's proposal during leap year had to pay her a forfeit of a silk dress. It was customary for any woman intending to exercise her right of proposing marraige to let her intentions be known by let- ting a scarlet petticoat show beneath her dress.

Leap year customs sometimes became law when women were in influential positions. In 1288, when Margaret of Norway was

Tax breaks help, but dealers say more needed

Residential use of solar power expensive by Paula Wlnslow managing editor

Although solar energy is free, clean and readily available, incor- porating it for residential use has its shady spots.

Most noteworthy is the cost of solar heating systems and the long payback periods that go with the bills.

"I've had a lot of people talk to me about it (solar power)," says Gene Keil, owner of Keil Contrac- ting in Bowling Green. "But when I tell them how much it's going to cost them, they don't talk anymore."

Other hindrances might be the need to install more insulation and the changes in lifestyle that accom- pany using solar energy, such as in- creasing energy conservation measures.

AND NORTHWEST Ohio's many cloudy days don't help promote solar power for most local homeowners.

To help brighten some of the dark spots of solar energy, a law went into effect in Ohio last August that

provides incentives for homeowners who install solar heating and cooling systems.

Any improvement in the form of solar or wind energy systems is ex- empt from real property taxation for the useful life of the original property on which it was built.

The federal government has of- fered tax incentives to encourage energy conservation and the use of altenate forms of energy since 1977. The tax credits are based on expen- ditures for home energy conserva- tion and for renewable energy source property.

CREDIT FOR conservation measures, which include installa- tion of insulation, storm or thermal windows, caulking, furnace modifications and other devices, is 15 percent of the first $2,000 spent on such components, up to a max- imum credit of $300.

Credit for renewable energy source expenditures, which include solar, wind-powered or geothermal property, include 30 percent of the first $2,000 plus 20 percent of the next $8,000 spent on such equip- ment, up to a maximum credit of $2,200.

Any unused credit that cannot be claimed because it exceeds tax

rely totally on electricity for space and water heating, but the solar user still must pay for the full capacity of the system.

"The rate has to compensate the utility for providing 'x' hours of electricity," George Sommerfield, solar research projects manager for Toledo Edison Co., explains. "You still have the same demand

"Imported oil has to stop, and people are becoming suspicious and concerned about nucler power. They were sold a pie in the sky, and it's becoming a monster."

liabilities may be carried over to the next tax year.

Another facet of the problem of solar energy systems' high costs is setting utility rates for backup systems used with hot water or space heating systems, especially electric auxiliary systems.

ALTHOUGH THE electric system only is used part time, a full-size electricity-producing facility still is needed to power that homeowner's system. He may not use it as much as homeowners who

but only provide half as many hours (of electricity).

"The worst that could happen with the rates would be that we dou- ble the price of kilowatt hours because they only are used half of the time," he continues, adding that that course is an unfair one that most utility companies would rather not take.

INSTEAD, utility companies are supporting a concept commonly us- ed until the 1960s: shifting heavy electric use to off-peak hours.

Sommerfield says that in its rate package next year, Toledo Edison will offer a special rate for off-peak hours. Peak usage times are from about 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the sum- mer and about 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the winter.

With the lower rates, solar energy users will be encouraged to store energy for heating during peak hours on cloudy days and use their electric backup systems only during off-peak hours, he says.

About 40 percent of a homeowner's electric costs could be saved this way, he estimates.

USING GAS backup systems is a different case because unlike elec- tricity, gas can be stored until needed, Sommerfield adds.

Even with these measures to lessen the expense of using the sun's energy, many say solar power has a long road to travel before it becomes popular in nor- thwest Ohio.

Some say the government should take a bigger role in pushing solar energy, as well as energy conserva- tion.

Lent: sacrificing your way to that front row seat For a Catholic, there are as many

ways to approach Lent, those 40 days of penitence before the Easter bunny arrives with his chocolate menagerie, as there are excuses for not getting up on Sunday morn- ing to attend Mass.

There is the saintly approach, where the devotee gives up eating, watching TV and reading the Peach Section of The Blade each day.

They are assured a front row seat in heaven, a two-pound milk chocolate rabbit and some yellow marshmallow chicks.

Then there is the semi-saintly ap- proach, where the zealot sacrifices breakfast and lunch, prime time TV shows and reading Don Wolfe"s "I've Heard" column in the Peach Section.

THEY ARE assured second row seats, a one-pound bunny and a jel- ly bean or two.

But the rest of us Catholics fall in

focus Paula Winslow

somewhere after the two top categories, depending on the degree of our sacrifices.

As a good little Catholic girl, clad in the usual blue-plaid uniform of parochial school, deciding what to give up for Lent was almost as onerous as making out a Christmas gift list for Santa Claus.

I never could decide if I was go- ing too far or not far enough when making myself suffer during Lent. You see, I didn't want to go to hell for being too wimpy, but I wasn't necessarily bent on getting to heaven in record time either.

Nuns always were a great in- spiration to me during Lent. Take Sister DeLordes, for example. One

year she gave up putting sugar in her coffee, a feat most of us third- graders thought was equal to Abraham offering his only son up to God as a show of faith.

(OF COURSE, we didn't notice that Sister DeLordes, not known for her small stature, put sugar on everything else she ate.)

I also like my Grandma's ap- proach to Lent. She always gave up candy or dessert during the week, but reasoned that since Sunday was the Lord's day of rest, so should it be for us mortals. That meant Reese's peanut butter cups and fudge cake were on Sunday's menu three times a day.

The greatest Lenten feat, however, was the dream of every normal red-blooded Slovak Catholic kid-giving up something you really didn't mind giving up, but that still made you look like a martyr to the people who count (parents and nuns).

That meant sacrificing Hershey bars when you were diabetic, giv- ing up Gunsmoke if you were a girl or Mister Rogers if you were a boy, or offering to do the dishes each night when your parents just bought an automatic dishwasher. Those kids might get no more than standing room only spots in heaven and a couple black jelly beans, but they had the admiration of every kid on the playground.

THEN THERE were the wise- acres who tried to be funny and give up homework or dusting their rooms for Lent. (HA-HA). They soon found out that they also had to give up lunchtime recess and Fri- day night popcorn as part of the deal.

Being of good Catholic stock, I usually stuck to the traditional Lenten sacrifices.

In-between-meal snacks were a biggie. That meant no Oreos or

graham crackers spread with but- ter after a rough day at school.

It also meant having my stomach growl loud* enough before dinner that I was sure God and all his angels heard the rumbling and had mercy on me.

Another standard Lenten offer- ing was my favorite TV show. Mayberry RFD and Batman were top contenders for the Lenten sacrifice spot. Surely, I would think as I said a rosary instead of wat- ching Batman BOFF and BIFF the Penguin into unconsciousness, this must be what it's like to be a saint.

I NEVER could understand how Jesus lasted for 40 days in the garden without Oreos or Batman.

The worst Lenten sacrifice I could take on was being nice to my siblings. This only was accepted as a last resort if I thought giving up snacks and TV was too soft for a maturing Catholic woman of eight.

So I stopped putting salt in my sister's milk, stopped coloring all the pictures of Mickey Mouse and Snow White in my brother's best coloring books, stopped making my three-year old brother vacuum my room on Saturdays.

Strangely enough, Mom never thought much of that offering. I should be nice to them all the time, she said.

No way, I thought. 40 days is enough. After all, Jesus didn't give up eating all year round.

THE CHOICE is no easier now that I'm in college. I could give up beer, but that's almost aetheistic. Or pizza, but that's like giving up life itself.

Instead I'll give up one of my favorite diversions during this time of year-trying to think of new sacrifices to make during Lent.

opinion Of apathy and quality

"Don't let Dial-a-Ride succumb to apathy," was the headline on the News editorial on Oct. 31,1979.

You remember Dial-a-Ride, the Student government Association's project that matched up people who need rides with people who have rides to offer.

The editorial stated that the only forseeable drawback to the program would be apathy. The pro- gram was to feed on student participation.

Any program involving students is subject to apathy. Because SGA initiated the program, it was up to the members to guard against this.

Well, apathy has set in, and this time it's not from the students. It comes from the senators who are supposed to be answering the phones.

According to Jane Mosconi, former coordinator of the program, "There have been plenty of phone calls from,people needing rides; there just hasn't been anyone there to answer them."

Mosconi said some senators weren't able to sign up for office hours because of academic commitments. However, many of the rest of the senators who did sign up didn't show because of commitments they had to other SGA projects.

This brings up an interesting point: Is SGA involved with too many projects?

Apparently they are if they can't handle the demands of current projects.

Maybe SGA ought to involve themselves in a few carefully chosen important projects rather than many seemingly important projects.

Two examples of good programs are the photo iden- tification cards and the proposal for pencil snarperners in every classroom.

Admittedly, these projects aren't earth-shatterers; however, they would affect most students and would make life a bit easier for everyone.

The importance of an organization is not measured by the quantity of projects it tries to undertake, but rather by the quality of the projects it carries out.

Avoiding extermination with puckish malice RIDGEFIELD, Conn. (AP) -

Bruce the Bold has done it again. Hie puffy faced little beggar is

smiling his maloccluded smile of defiance at me from a low branch of the big maple outside my win- dow. Those shifty black eyes are blinking at me in puckish malice. Sometimes he even does a com- plete turn about and wags his bushy tail at me in rather vulgar rhumba rhythms.

Bruce the Bold, an old adversary, has made another raid on my bird feeder. The no-longer-scrawny gray squirrel takes an obvious delight in his unprincipled behavior. Even if I left some food out for him, and he should live so long, he would prefer piracy to welfare.

FOUR OR five tunes a day he comes darting along the telephone wires, grabs a vine like Tarzan in his prehensile paws and does a fly- ing high wire leap right onto the top of my cedar shake bird feeder which is suspended on a wire from a dogwood branch.

There he perches, greedily stuff- ing his jowls with sunflower seed and other delicacies procured at great effort and expense for our feathered friends, until I devise some means of driving him off. It's getting more difficult as the winter wears on.

A sharp rap on the window pane once was enough to send Bruce scurrying off. But not for long. This unscrupulous predater soon realiz- ed that no affirmative action would follow the warning rap, so he just clung there unperturbed, grinning his toothy grin.

Next I tried yelling out the win- dow at him, wild primeval howls out of Edgar Rice Burrows. These had no effect on Bruce the second

I THINK when I started beating a huge Chinese gong and resorted to a water pistol I borrowed 9ft a local urchin, they were on the verge of calling for the men with the butterf-

ly nets. The water pistol he seemed to en-

Joy, even on the few occassions when I sapped him with a direct hit. The sport of it seemed to appeal to his cheating heat. He delighted in playing the role of moving target, although as the weather got colder he made his getaway as soon as he heard the window being opened.

Yesterday I tried lying in wait for Bruce in the bushes, the way the neighbor's cat crouches down to ambush the birds from the pachysandra. Unfortunately the man from Conneciticut Power & Light came by just then to read the

meter on the outside of the house near the bird feeder.

I mumbled something about hun- ting for a contact lens, which I don't wear, and brushed myself off in some confusion and embarrass- ment. He seemed to be in a hurry to get about his business.

THERE WAS Bruce chortling from atop a fence post and stuffing his high cheek boned face with my bird feed. Someday, feller, some- day. . .

'Hedda Gabler'provides lesson in understanding the unspoken

review by John Randall

Henrick Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler" is an intriguing lesson that ac- quaints us with the art of understanding things that are unspoken. Ibsen astutely has begot- ten seven enthralling characters who constantly are talking but who do not communicate with words. They speak to each other with their eyes, a slight turn of the head or a sudden hint of a grin.

The University Theater's produc- tion of "Hedda Gabler," which plays until Saturday, seemed to be filled with subtle innuendoes that radiated from the stage. Those ir. the audience who bothered to bask in them felt an immense satisfac- tion in knowing what secrets were being signaled and who they were about.

Director Dr. Norman Myers chose not to underline the issue of

Local author success free

by Stephen Hudak

Becoming a successful free-lance writer depends on how well a writer can market himself, according to Ed Morris, a Bowling Green free- lancer who makes his living "selling himself."

"There are some 250,000 free- lance writers out there," Morris said, "and only about 300 of us are making a decent living."

But, Morris attributes the lack of success of most writers to high competition rather than no talent.

"Good writing isn't enough; a writer has to be able to sell himself to be successful. You have this story, now you have to know who needs these facts."

social pressure to a great extent in the production, but instead confin- ed his messages to the immediate environment of the play. Myers is clever at creating dramatic stage images, and his ability to conduct tempo is inspirational. However, his responsibility of allowing the audience to empathize with the tragedy of Hedda Gabler Tesman seemed to be less important than it could have been. The empathy was there, but not until the last act, where it still was hurried.

CINDY GOATLEY'S Hedda was remarkable. Although somewhat stiff during the first five minutes of the opening performance, Goatley presented a desparate but powerful human being who severely longed to "shape a human destiny."

Bob Goddard as George Tesman appeared slightly less believable and his occasional mechanical

gestures contrasted with the subtle- ty of the production.

Paul Causman developed a series of power graduations in his perfor- mance as Judge Brack and finally proved to be the true adversary in the end.

Eileen T. Nowacki as Mrs. Elvsted handled a mosaic of emo- tions quite well, while Chris Kern lacked development as an actor in his portrayal of Eilert Lovborg.

Kimberly Kish as Miss Juliane fitted herself with a colorful character, and, as Berte, Carole Eckman needed to age her voice to match her delightful waddle.

Tina Egeland Taylor's costumes probably were the most striking garments ever seen on the Univer- sity stage, while scenic designer Dr. Robert C. Hansen's invisible walls graciously allowed the au- dience to witness the behavior of the characters when they were alone.

says marketing is key to -lance writing career

Morris suggests writers explore trade magazines that would most likely be interested in the subject of their writings. A good source of prospective publications is the 1980 Writer's Market, a listing of magazines and newsletters and their target audiences.

SPECIALIZATION in one field is also useful. Morris, who generally writes about country music, said that when a writer really knows his subject, he becomes a more credi- ble information source and often he can rewrite the same article with different twists for different publications. The only requirement is that the article be exclusive to the publication's circulation area.

To avoid wasting time writing un-

wanted stories, writers shoud send out query letters that explain the story's length, importance and angle.

Morris also thinks writers should never write for free.

"By-lines are ok, but they don't pay the bills," Morris said, adding that f reebies tend to give the writer a reputation for working cheap.

"Magazines are set up for pro- fit," he said. "If they're making money off your story, you deserve some of that profit."

Freebies should be reserved for non-profit publications or when the story's newslife will be affected unless printed soon.

1 pound spud spawns 12-foot fry Colossal french fry may be record -setter

by Keith Jameson stall reporter

No, knucklehead, it didn't come from a potato grown near Three Mile Island, and it didn't come from a spud-lover dream world.

The 12-foot-4-inch french fry (yes, you read it right) is the product of just one potato which weighed 1 pound.

The incredible, colossal french fry was the brainchild of two employees, William Rathbun and Reba Bowen of the Corner Kitchen, 183 S. Main St., says Richard Cox. owner of the restaurant.

The creation was possible because of a machine not many restaurants have, he said. The machine carves a single potato into one continuous, curly french fry.

"SOME PEOPLE commented on how long some (french fries) were, so we did it for laughs," he said.

The result: A wonderous 12-foot, quarter-inch thick delight. The obvious question is: What do you do with a 12-foot french fry? It

is a question you can really sink your teeth into. For starters, Cox is using the verification of the length by The BG

News to try to get the culinary feat into the Guiness Book of World Records. The book, so says Cox, does not have a category for the longest french fry, so this spud would be the first.

COX SAID there also has been some talk about sending news of the greater tater to the NBC-TV series "Real People," a prime-time show highlighting the extraordinary.

So much for posterity. The immediate action was to thaw the french fry and deep fry it yesterday. Cox noted that they had to keep curling the fry up so that it would fit into the fryer.

But don't get any ideas about going into the Corner Kitchen and ordering the morsel. In order to keep the french fry on display, the staff varnished it after it was deep fried.

So ends the saga of the longest french fry in town, a saga which began two weeks ago. Whether or not the staff will ever try to beat their own record remains to be seen.

"Maybe sometime in the future," Cox says.

consumer corner. Editor's Note: Consumer Corner

.s a feature of the News taken from inquiries, closed cases and current public topics of the Student Con- sumer Union, 405 Student Services BIdg. This week's corner was con- tributed by SCU Public Relations Committee member Mike Grayson.

Dear SCU: I recently took my car into a

repair shop for a tuneup. Two days later when I went back to pick it up, the bill was twice what I was told to expect. They did repairs that I didn't ask them to do. Can they get away with this?

Signed, Broke in B.G.

Dear Broke: According to the Consumer Bill

of Rights, auto repair facilities must either give you a written itemized estimate before repairs begin or inform you that you do have a right to an estimate when the cost of the work is expected to be more than $25. You should, in this case, be given a form on which you may choose to have an oral or written estimate presented to you or you may choose no estimate at all.

If you did receive an estimate and the actual cost of the work ex- ceeded the estimate by more than 10 percent, the facility must con- tact you to get your permission jefore they continue working. Auto •epair facilities are prohibited from charging you for repairs or services that you did not authorize. Repair facilities are required to do these things by the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act (Chapter 1345).

One alternative to correct this problem is to take the car back to the repair or service department and talk to the manager. If the manager is not there, send him a letter explaining the situation. If this does not work and you feel the facility has cheated you, call the at- torney general's office on the con- sumer's toll-free Public Action Line (1-800-282-0515). A final alter- native is to take the repair facility to small claims court and attempt to get the situation remedied.

If you wish assistance with any of these steps, please come to the SCU office, 405 Student Services BIdg., between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays or call us at 372-0248. We will be glad to aid you in resolving this case.

leap year_!r2m£!!ae1

Scotland's absentee queen, a law was passed providing that every woman had the prerogative to pro- pose during leap year. If the man refused, he had to pay her a pound unless he could prove that he was already engaged. Similar laws ex- isted in France, Italy, and Switzerland.

Although the tradition had become well-known in the United States, leap year's "open season" on bachelors is no longer taken seriously. The U.S. marriage rate actually has declined in the last five leap years, according to the In- stitute of Life Insurance.

The newest addition to the tradi- tion is the leap second which grows out of science's need for extremely accurate clocks.

The Earth is slowing down as much as a second a year - a major

nuisance to the National Bureau of Standards. To keep their clocks in step with the earth's less-than- regular rotation, they must be reset periodically by a small and painstakingly calculated amount.

The leap second should eliminate such discrepancies. The Interna- tional Time Bureau in Paris will simply issue a directive to par- ticipating countries to reset their clocks by the addition or subtrac- tion of a second. Thus atomic clocks in all parts of the world should be ticking off the same seconds.

Why wasn't the leap second created sooner? Explains James A. Barnes, chief of the time and fre- quency division of the National Bureau of Standards: "It takes time to agree on time."

As language prof, Pallister has key to world by Denise Sakal

stall reporter

"Language is the key to a foreign culture and international understanding of other people," according to Dr. Janis Pallister.

If this is true, she has the ability to unlock many doors.

As professor of romance languages at the University, Pallister knows varying degrees of Spanish, Italian, German, Latin, Portuguese, Swahili and their derivatives.

She is on a grant and research leave studying with her brother, Phillip, the work of renaissance surgeon Ambroise Pare.

BY THE END of the summer, Pallister hopes to complete English translation of a book Pare wrote on monsters.

Pallister, who specializes in French renaissance, has publish- ed four books on poetry and is working on another. She also has completed two books of translated material, and translated 61 in- dividual poems, with another 30 soon to be published.

The amount of time it takes to translate depends on the difficulty of the metaphors and poetic ex- pressions, rather than the length of the literary work, she said.

Pallister said she sees transla- tion as a means of preserving new and unknown literary works in English, but inevitably, something always is lost in the translation.

"I CLING TO THE idea that no translation can bring out the beauties of the original," she said, adding that originals only have been truely preserved about three times in history.

Althogh it is not desirable to have an international language, Pallister said knowing the people of a particular culture and their values is fundamental to success in foreign language.

She added that some of the ongoing foreign problems the United States is experiencing may be a result of the lack of studying foreign languages.

"Our diplomats don't speak the language of the places they go. They don't really understand or know the people. A lot of problems come out of the inability to speak the language.

"I DON'T THINK we should im- pose our language or ways on them (other countries). The beau- ty of life is in its variety," she add- ed.

However, she added, in order to dominate foreign markets, it is necessary to learn the language, tastes and values of that country. She cited Japan's saturation of the U.S. market as one example.

Pallister, who has spent 19 of her 32 years working in education at the University, said she believes the American educa- tional system needs improvement at all levels. This includes in- itiating the study of foreign language at the elementary school level.

"If we had better attitudes in our educational system, we would have students studying language in grade school, and it would become a parcel of their educa- tional baggage.

"WE HAVE TO find out how to motivate young people better than we're doing, which would call for fundamental changes in our socie- ty and its values," she added.

Pallister explained that too much focus has been made on the materialistic benefits of knowing, rather than the humanistic benefits.

"If we would change the values, it might take care of itself. If we put more emphasis on humanistic learning, there would be a call for the humanist," she added.

Language may be the center of her life, but Pallister said she also enjoys traveling, gourment cook- ing and watching television.

"I THINK TV is the greatest ac- quisition of man as a means of disseminating information. It's the greatest thing man has in- vented since the printing press," she said. But she added, "I don't want to confuse the invention itself with the way it's misused."

Pallister said pictures are a vital function of learning and makes things more accurate.

"It's the next best thing to being there," she added.

Learning a language is not dif- ficult. However, it takes perser- vance and cannot be acquired overnight, Pallister said. But once one language is learned, it is not difficult to learn how others function.

PALLISTER RECEIVED her bachelor's and master's degrees and Ph.D. in English which she still considers, "the most beautiful language I know."

Interestingly enough, when Pallister first began college, she studied language only because it was a requirement. Her main in- terest was to become a writer.

solar. Irom page 1

Solar energy is being eyed more closely by Ohio legislators, accor- ding to Libby Holman, aide to Rep. Tom Gilmartin (D-Youngstown), chairman of the House Energy and Environment Committee.

"IT'S (solar power) getting some attention and it's obviously going to get increased attention because of the Three Mile Island incident,"

/she says. "A lot of people are giving up on

nuclear energy, Holman adds, in- dicating that some legislators are included in that group. "They're slowing down and saying there could be some potential problems.''

However, Holman notes, in Ohio the energy focus is on another source of power.

"IN THE short run, coal is going to be the big issue only because it's

here right now," she says, noting the largeness of the coal industry in Ohio.

But many believe the govern- ment needs to shift its emphasis from more traditional and expen- sive forms of energy to solar power.

"I'm a firm believer in (solar power)," says Dean Rowland, owner of Modern Heating, 12838 S. Dixie Highway, a dealer for flat plate collectors for hot water heating.

"But you'll never get the govern- ment to believe that. I'm afraid they're firmly committed to nuclear power; and it's so much more expensive than solar.

"(THEY SHOULD) put more money into systems that are more affordable to the average person in- stead of large nuclear plants," he continues.

"The consumer out there has got to be jolted loose and convinced that solar systems work, that they can heat water and that they do to invest in solar systems.

Joseph Deal, owner of Solar Usage Now, a solar equipment dealership in Bascom, Ohio, says the government should go beyond offering only tax incentives to con- sumers. It should offer education.

"It's fairly well proven that tax incentives won't do the job," he says. They are not creating the in- terest we thought they would.

"WHAT GOOD is it if you give so- meone an 80-percent tax incentive to put a solar system in if the people don't understand why they need it and what it does?

"Massive public education is the key thing. That's what the govern- ment ought to be doing.

Others, such as Sommerfield of

Toledo Edison, say the government should develop stronger incentive programs to encourage consumers lessen the cost of oil, that they're not a hoax or joke," Deal says.

Bob Vogel, owner of The Energy Shop, 110 W. Poe Rd., agrees that one of the biggest hindrances to solar power is lack of education.

"PEOPLE JUST don't know that much about it," he says. "They don't think it'll work in this area because we don't get enough sun- shine, which is just not true."

Vogel blames utility and oil com- panies for passing "bad informa- tion" to consumers that solar energy is impractical.

"That's just plain BS," he says, noting that a recent issue of an in- dustry publication cites a study that claims the United States could meet all its energy needs with solar, wind and wood power by the

year 2000. Many utility company estimates are more conservative - only 10-15 percent solar energy use.

Deal, of Solar Usage Now, says that when consumers become more aware of solar power's potential, they will support it more than con- ventional forms of energy.

"IMPORTED OH. has to stop, and people are becoming suspicious and concerned about nuclear power," he says. "They were sold a pie in the sky, and it's becoming a monster."

He added that consumers also need to realize that gas will not meet changing energy needs and that coal has environmental, pro- duction and transportation pro- blems.

"America is going to have to turn to a renewable source of energy and conserve more," Deal con-

cludes. A. Jared Crandall, physics pro-

fessor and solar energy researcher at the University, notes that Americans will have to do more than increase their awareness of the energy situation. They will have to adjust their lifestyles.

"WE'VE GONE the whole gamut from being very reliant on other people to having home-owned solar systems," he explains.

"Gas with a furnace is so easy," he says. "That's just incredibly convenient compared to burning wood in a fireplace."

But when Americans adjust their thinking about energy, such changes might not be so hard to swallow, he theorizes.

"For some people they (steps to solar conversion) are sacrifices. For some people it's a great deal - it's getting back to nature."

elsewhere Columbian guerrillas dig in with 60 hostages

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - With gunfire crackling around them, a heavily armed band of young leftist guerrillas dug in yesterday for what they vowed could be a months-long standoff at the besieg- ed Dominican Republic Embassy, where they held the U.S. am- bassador and at least 60 other hostages.

It appeared the Colombian government might try to starve out the estimated 30 terrorists, who

seized the embassy and hostages Wednesday and demanded $50 million in ransom and freedom for political prisoners.

In an effort to end the standoff, Panama offered to give the guer- rillas political asylum. But it could not be determined whether the of- fer was transmitted to the em- bassy.

The guerrillas, members of a group called "Movement-19," have

threatened to kill their captives if their demands were not met.

BESIDES American envoy Diego Asencio, the hostages included an archbishop who is the Vatican's diplomat here and the am- bassadors or acting ambassadors of at least 14 other nations.

The guerrillas said they were holding 20 ambassadors, and the State Department in Washington said it believed there were 80

hostages in all. Volleys of gunfire rang out short-

ly after noon Thursday, and the guerrilla leader told a reporter by telephone that snipers of the Col- ombian security forces were firing on the building.

There was no immediate word of any new casualties. The guerrillas claimed to be armed with pistols, rifles, grenades, bombs and abun- dant ammunition.

ONE GUERRILLA was reported killed and two hostages and three policemen were reported wounded Wednesday when the armed gang- about 25 men and four women, all clad in sweatsuits-stormed into the embassy during a noontime diplomatic reception.

One of the wounded hostages was reported to be the Paraguayan ac- ting ambassador, Oscar Gostiaga, shot in the leg.

The guerrilla chief, calling himself "Commander No. 1," told the Associated Press by telephone yesterday afternoon the two wounded hostages and approx- imately 25 women captives would be released as soon as the govern- ment began serious negotiations.

"Tell the world that the hardline position of the Colombian govern- ment and the army is putting the lives of the hostages in danger," he said.

A U.S. Marina helicopter, carrying troops, hovers near a landing zone in the Philippines as a Marine oflicer directs the air support from a portable command post. The Marine bat- talion made a practice landing on a Philippine beach and was bound for the Arabian Sea.

UN commission tours shah's prison

By The Associated Press

A U.N. commission investigating charges against the deposed shah toured a notorious prison yesterday and met with a representative of the ruling Revolutionary Council.

Efforts to arrange a commission meeting with the American hostages were unsuccessful, at least for the time being. The militant captors said they had not decided whether to permit it.

It was thought the approximately 50 Americans, who have been captive in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran for 117 days, might not be freed for 10 more weeks. A leading official has said it might take that long for the as-yet- unformed Parliament to make a decision.

On its fifth full day in Iran the U.N. panel visited the ousted shah's main residence, then toured Evin prison where thousands allegedly were tor- tured by SAVAK, the shah's secret police, before the monarch was forced from the throne before last year's Islamic revolution.

FOUR COMMISSION members met with Hassan Habibi, official spokesman for the Revolutionary Council. The fifth member - co- chairman Andres Aguilar of Venezuela - was in Caracas on a previously arranged visit and was to rejoin the commission in Tehran soon, U.N. spokesman Samir Sambar said.

A report from the commission, released at the United Nations, said the members went through a crowd of 1,200 alleged victims and examined in- dividual cases of obvious physical mutilation.

"Co-chairman Mohamed Bedjaoui spoke to the victims, assuring them of the commission's compassion for their suffering. He stressed that this deeply moving experience would remain imprinted in the memory of the members of the commission," it said.

It had been hoped the panel's investigation would lead to an early release of the hostages, but Iran's government and the militants insist there can be no link between the two events.

THE COMMISSION has been pushing Iranian authorities to set up a meeting with the hostages, and Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh has said he is trying to arrange one. But all have been unable so far to win the approval of militants who have held the embassy since Nov. 4.

The official government news agency Pars reported that former in- terior minister Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani siad the panel would meet the hostages, accompanied by a representative of President Abolhassan Bani-sadr.

NRC doesn't expect B&W reactor investigation WASHINGTON (AP) - John F. Ahearne, the chair-

man of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said yesterday he doesn't anticipate that this week's nuclear power plant accident in Florida will require a shut down of other reactors by the same designer, Bab- cock & Wilcox.

However, Ahearne told a Senate subcommittee he won't make a final decision until after he receives a full report on the Florida incident, which he said he ex- pects next Tuesday.

Ahearne testified shortly before the NRC was to hear arguments for lifting its self-imposed moratorium on the licensing of new nuclear plants. No new licenses have been issued since the Three Mile Island accident

Bond issues:

in Pennsylvania nearly a year ago. Ahearne said the malfunction that caused the reac-

tor at the Crystal River nuclear plant to shut down and flood the reactor containment with 43,000 gallons of radioactive water bore little relation to the near- meltdown at the Three Mile Island plant

BUT A leading nuclear skeptic, Rep. James Weaver (D-Ore.) took to the House floor to lambast the NRC for its handling of the Florida crisis.

"Once again a serious nuclear accident is being covered up by the NRC," Weaver said. He criticized NRC officials for praising the operators "because they

did nothing. They were in the dark."

"Saying the system worked, as the NRC did, is like saying George Bush's campaign in New Hampshire was successful because he got 23 percent of the vote," said Weaver, who was chairman of an ad hoc House panel that investigated the Three Mile Island accident last year.

The engineering firm of Babcock & Wilcox designed the reactors at both the Crystal River plant on Florida's Gulf Coast and at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, PA., the site of the nation's most serious commercial nuclear power plant accident 11 months ago.

THAT PROMPTED Sen. Gary Hart (D-Colo.), chairman of the Senate nuclear regulatory subcom-

classified- Highway plan may not save roads COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Even

if Ohio's voters approve a major highway bond issue pending in the Legislature, the state's total transportation needs would not be met, Transportation Director David L. Weir said yesterday.

But he told the Senate Finance Committee many priority projects that have been shelved can be activated, and that he sees little possibility that new projects would be added to the list over the next five years.

The director testified at the initial Senate hearing on a proposed constitutional amend- ment, already approved by the House, under which the depart- ment would issue about $100 million in bonds in each of the next five years for highway and bridge

improvements. The $500 million in bonds would

attract about $1.5 billion in federal matching funds which otherwise could be lost by the state over the five year span, Weir said.

ACTUALLY, the proposal, which is targeted for the June 3 ballot, would authorize the issuance of $1.2 billion in bonds over the next 16 years. But the amount would be limited to the availability of tax revenues to repay them. Weir said the limit probably would be around $100 million a year until around 1985, as far as he can project.

But despite the nearly $2 billion of state-federal funds the bond issue would generate, the director said his agency has on paper a list of transportation needs which would cost more than $6 billion. The bond issue "frankly, would fall

Ohio may vote on housing loans COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The

House cleared the way yesterday for placing before voters June 3 a proposal to help low and moderate income Ohioans obtain better hous- ing.

The final vote of 84-3 represented House acceptance of minor Senate changes in the constitutional amendment.

Adoption by voters would allow the state to use its borrowing power to generate housing loans at interst rates below the current 13-14 per- cent level.

The measure, not requiring ac- tion by the governor, now goes to the Secretary of State for ballot certification.

MEANWHILE the Senate Finance Committee opened hear- ings on another House-passed pro- posal that would ask voters to con-

sider a major bond issue package for highway improvements.

The panel plans additional hear- ngs Monday before the full Senate votes on the constitutional amend- ment. Action must be completed by Wednesday if it is to appear on the June ballot.

In other business before adjourn- ing for the week, the House agreed 884 with Senate amendments to a bill requiring Ohio schools to offer classes in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or first aid for heart attack victims.

That bill was sent to Gov. James A. Rhodes, along with another measure giving township trustees the right to accumulate funds over five years and use the money to buy police or fire department equip- ment.

mittee, to suggest that a new investigation of Babcock & Wilcox reactors might be needed, along with a possi- ble shut down of those now operating.

There are nine Babock & Wilcox reactors in the country, but two of them - those at Three Mile Island - had already been shut down.

Hart said the Crystal River episode showed "the ap- parent continued susceptibility of Babcock & Wilcox reactors to minor plant disturbances." At that point, Hart asked whether the NRC was considering turning down the power or shutting off other B&W reactors.

"On what I know now, I see no need for that action," the NRC chairman said.

i D- Youngs town) and others said they were concerned about how the bond issue can be sold to the people "if it doesn't meet the highway needs of this state."

Meshel and Sen. Jerome Stano (D-Parma,) told Weir they want to see a list of the projects the bond issue would fund, so that they can answer questions of their con- stituents back home.

THE DIRECTOR promised to bring the list to the committee's next hearing on the proposal, scheduled for Monday night.

Despite the questions, Meshel said he expects the committee to recommend adoption of the amendment at its Monday night meeting.

with House amendments was a bill designed to provide more equal treatment for an injured person and defendants involved in civil lawsuits.

It changes the doctrine of law which had been used by courts in determining an individual's right to recovery of damages and the amount of such damages in civil suits.

House leaders postponed scheduled action on a Senate- passed bill that would require motorists to use restraint systems when transporting children 4 years old or younger.

Across the Statehouse, a bill clarifying the procedures under which the state Environmental Protection Agency handles com- plaints about alleged pollution law violations cleared the Senate 31-0.

8 The BG News 2-29-80

sports Falcon icers face rival Ohio State

by Dave Lewandowski assistant sports editor

Bowling Green has two series sweeps over Central Collegiate Hockey Association teams this season and another could not come at a better time than this weekend when the Falcons host Ohio State in a two-game set at the Ice Arena.

The Falcons, 9-9 in the CCHA, are tied with Ferris State for the third playoff spot in the league. Ferris travels to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., for a two-game series against Lake Superior, 2-16 in the league.

The third-place finisher will play OSU in the first round of the CCHA playoffs in Columbus, while the fourth-place team will have to play Northern Michigan, the CCHA champion with a 16-2 record and the No. 2 ranked team in the nation.

With Ferris expected to sweep the lowly Lakers, BG needs a sweep over the Buckeyes to finish in a tie with the Bulldogs. If both teams end the regular season with the same recordJJG

would meet OSU in the first round because of a tie breaker. The teams split their four-game series during the season, but BG outscored Ferris, 20-19 in the four games.

THE NEED for a sweep will put a lot of pressure on the icers, but BG coach Jerry York said his team will be equal to the task.

"It's like a playoff weekend," York said. "It will determine where we go next weekend. But we have something to prove to ourselves in this series with Ohio State.

"They handled us easily both games down there, but now it's a different story. We're playing better now. We're much stronger offensively."

BG has won seven of its last nine games, including the ex- hibition win over the Polish Olympic team. The Falcons have outscored their opposition 52-35 in those nine games.

OSU handed BG 8-2 and 5-0 losses in mid-January, enroute to a 12-5-1 CCHA record and an

eight-place slot in this week's WMPL-coaches poll.

BUCKEYE goaltender Steve Jones was the main nemesis of the Falcons in the first series. Jones leads the league with a 2.63 goals against average. Teammate Mike Blake is third in the league with a 3.60 g.a.a.

Tom Scanlon is the Buckeye's leading scorer with 24 goals and 22 assists for 46 points. Paul Tilley has 45 points while sophomore Larry Marson has 43 points.

Scanlon also leads the team in penalties with 23 for 57 minutes. Like Buckeye teams in the past, they play a physical style of game. York said the Falcons will have to "control ourselves playing a physical team."

"We don't want to go four-on- four," York said. "We've been talking about keeping our poise all week. We don't want the players getting talked into the penalty box. We have to be self- disciplined.

"We've closed the gap bet- ween us and Ohio State. They were better than us then (in Col- umbus) but now I think we've caught up with them."

York said Chris Guertin will be back in the lineup after sitting out the Northern Michigan series for breaking a training rule. He will be paired on the fourth line with Doug Olson and Kim Collins. Steve Dawe has taken over in Guertin right wing spot on the line with Yves Pelland and Tim Alexander.

York also said Wally Charko will start in goal tonight with freshman Mike David in the nets Saturday. Charko stopped 32 shots in Friday's 7-5 win over Northern, while David had 50 saves in a 7-5 loss to the Wildcats the next night.

OSU coach Jerry Welsh will be going for his 100th career win tonight. The Buckeyes are 23-19-12 overall and need two wins to match their 25 wins of last season.

Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part series on former Bowling Green hockey coach Ron Mason, now in his first year at Michigan State.

by Geoll Haynes

Michigan State hockey coach Ron Mason faces the task of trying to rebuild a team that has not made the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs in three seasons.

In Bowling Green, first-year coach Jerry York, whose college coaching winning percentage is similar to Mason's, also goes through a process of rebuilding.

University Athletic Director Jim Lessig signed York as coach of the Falcons following Mason's depar- ture because he wanted someone who could maintain the winning hockey tradition. The departed Mason agreed with Lessig's choice.

"Jerry's a real nice guy and in college athletics I think that's number one," Mason said. "You have to be able to relate to the local community, the University and the players. He has had good success in the past and there's no reason why he can't have success at Bowling Green.

"Jerry's done a good job. It's just a question of getting the players he wants, then I think he'll pull it together.

"If you can put together two or three good draft classes in a row, that can really get your program off and running and we (at BG) were fortunate to do that.

"I used to tell people last year that you are not going to continue to win 37 games every year," Mason continued. "You're going to have a year or two where there's ad- justments and where not

Olympics in Boston ? BOSTON (AP) - Boston will make a strong bid to

become the site of "alternative Olympics" this sum- mer, and it shouldn't cost city taxpayers a cent, Mayor Kevin H. White said Thursday.

"We are prepared to fight, if the opportunity avails itsrtf, to hold the Olympics in Boston," White said at a news conference.

He announced the formation of a nine-member com- mittee to investigate the possibility and said one member. Tufts University President Dr. Jean Mayer, has contacted the White House and legal counsel.

White said Mayer will go to the White House Friday to discuss the possibility.

The Summer Olympics are scheduled to be held in Moscow, but President Carter has said the United States will not participate because of Russia's military action in Afghanistan.

Fratianne stays amateur LOS ANGELES (AP) - Linda Fratianne, America's

figure skating silver medalist in the Winter Olympics, joined President Carter and millions of others swept up in a wave of nationalism inspired by the perfor- ■"i-nce »* '*>» United dates' athletes.

Fratianne, cuing a viaii «.... 7 *n e'-^'c 'his week and inspiration provided by some of b/r lenow athletes, said Thursday that she is going to delay turn- ing professional so that she can represent the U.S. in the World Figure Skating Championships.

should have been able to win it "When we started at Bowling

Green, our goal was to get into the NCAA playoffs. When I mentioned that in my first interview, I think they chuckled at it. After a while the goals had changed to the point where I wanted to win it. I really felt that was not out of the ques- tion."

Mason's clubs made the NCAA tournament three times, finishing in fifth place last season.

His success was not enough to keep him at Bowling Green however. When offered a chance to rebuild a program in the prestigious WCHA at a school where he always wanted to coach. Mason accepted.

"I wouldn't have come to Michigan State if it weren't for the administration and fan backing," Mason said. "Even with the losing record they've had for the last few years, we still draw 5,000 a game.

"I started out my initial coaching in the state of Michigan at Lake Superior State University. I would only have left Bowling Green for one or two situations. One might have been if a position in Michigan became available and they don't become available all that often,

then I'd probably take a look at it. "I think that when I added it all

up and looked at the bottom line, I said 'go'," Mason continued. "I said these opportunities don't come along that often. I've never turned down a challenge in my life and this was a good one. I said why don't you do it, because if you don't, you'll always second guess yourself."

Mason, 40, a college hockey stan- dout at St. Lawrence University, said he felt a move to the profes- sional ranks would be out of the question until he gets the job done at Michigan State.

"I'm very happy with where I'm at here, I think that I've got something to prove here. I think that if it ever happened where I won a NCAA championship or two and at that time I got an offer from the pros, it would be something to consider."

Does Mason still think about Bowling Green?

"My heart is still in Bowling Green. Their scores are the first we look at. If there's one thing I want, it's for them to win the CCHA. I want them to do well because there are so many people there who deserve it."

by Dan Firestone sports editor

Following Bowling Green's 71-68 overtime win against Northern Il- linois earlier this season. Falcon basketball coach John Weinert commented, "Thank God we don't have to play them again."

Well maybe the Falcons didn't have to play them again in the regular season, but now they must face the Huskies in the semifinals of the Mid-American Conference tournament in Ann Arbor, Mich., tomorrow at 4 p.m.

In tlte first game at 2 p.m., regular-session champion Toledo plays Ball State, who slipped by Kent State, 73-71, in the first round Tuesday.

NIU is 14-13 and finished third with a 9-7 MAC mark.

The Falcons have won 19 games, the first time a BG team has done that since the 1962-63 team finished 19-8 to win the MAC championship.

BUT BG has won just two of its last seven games, including a first round playoff victory over Eastern Michigan, 54-49.

Down the stretch, injuries have plagued the team but Weinert ex- pects everyone to be ready tomor- row.

"The only question I guess is Col- in (Irish)," he said. "We don't know if he'll be able to go two days back-to-back."

Irish has been hampered with a toe injury, while another starter Marcus Newbern saw limited ac- tion against Eastern because of a sprained ankle.

But Newbern, the second-leading scorer averaging 13.6 points a game is expected to start along with Irish (12.5) Joe Faine (17.0), Mike Miday (7.5) and David Greer (3.5).

THE BIGGEST problem facing BG will come in the size of a 6-9 center named Allen Rayhorn. The sophomore is hitting 19.7 points a

club clips_

game, second best in the con- ference and hauling down nine re- bounds a game, fourth best in the MAC.

"Rayhorn poses all kinds of pro- blems," Weinert said, "I think Jim Swaney and him are the best big men in the conference.

"He posts up inside so well, and he draws the fouls."

Rayhorn has drawn more fouls than anyone else in the MAC. He's shot 183 free throws, far more than the second hightest amount of 162. And Rayhorn has hit 80 percent from the line.

THE HUSKIES are the MAC's top defensive team, yielding an average of 63.9 points a game.

The winners advance to the finals Sunday at 4 p.m. and that might pose a problem for the conference, since the NCAA is set to announce its tournament selectons at 1 p.m. and the NIT will be doing the same at 2 p.m.

"If Toledo should win it," Weinert said, "and we get second. I think that should get us a bid to one of the tournaments, because that would give us a 20-9 record.

"I just want our kids to play in a tournament. I think we could com- pete well.

"I think Toledo would rather not have the tournament now, but they have some tournament experience. The other teams left don't have any."
