(AP) — Sen. Bob Kerrey won the South Dakota primary Tuesday, boosting his standing in the Democratic presidential race. President Bush, the unopposed Republican winner, was buf feted by a protest vote. Kerrey’s farm-state rival, Sen. Tom Harkin, was running second and looking ahead to the burst of primaries in March. . “I’m still in this race,” Harkin said as the votes were being counted. “ It’s a national campaign." The Republican results had to be sobering to the White House. With 90 percent of the precincts reporting, Bush had 69 percent of the total and 31 percent chose uncommitted. Conservative Patrick Buchanan was not on the ballot. Kerrey was gaining 40 percent of the Democratic vote in South Dakota, compared to 26 percent for Harkin and 19 percent for Clinton. Paul Tsongas trailed with 9 percent, and Jerry Brown had 4 percent. South Dakota thus was ex tending a trend of regional fa voritism among the Democrats, and of a strong challenge to Bush among the Republicans. “I think it’s just confirmation ■ Bush campaigns/ page 4 of what we’ve been saying. The president has been in a free-fall for months now and there’s no indication that he’s levelling off, ” said outspoken conserva tive activist Richard Viguerie, a supporter of Buchanan. With 15 Democratic delegates and 19 GOP delegates at stake, South Dakota marked the end of a preliminary round of sin gle-state contests. More than 1200 Democratic delegates are up for grabs in a string of con tests over the next two weeks. CNN projected a Kerrey vic tory based on exit polls, broad casting the result with almost a third of the polling places still open. Kerrey, a former Nebraska governor and first-term senator, campaigned as a Farm Belt neighbor to South Dakota, pressing his call for national health insurance. The exit polls said the health issue was popu lar with voters, especially among the elderly. Kerrey campaign manager Tad Devine called the South Dakota vote an “ impressive victory ” and said he hoped it could be parlayed into cam paign momentum in Colorado, Georgia and South Carolina, all of which vote in the next week. Tsongas offered Kerrey con gratulations — but it was tem pered. “ It’s obvious that the negative advertising worked, and we’ll take that into consid eration,” he said. Tsongas got one bit of bright news — an en dorsement from Gov. William Donald Schaefer one week ahead of Maryland’s primary. Harkin disputed any sugges tion that he might drop out of the race if he lost South Dakota. Even so, the political pundits predicted in advance that if either Kerrey or Harkin was defeated, their fundraising would dry up. But so far, none of the re gional winners has been able to parlay his home-field advantage into broader success. Tsongas, the winner in last week’s New Hampshire pri mary, stumbled to a dead heat with Brown in Maine. Harkin won his home-state Iowa cau cuses earlier in the month, but finished fourth in New Hamp shire and trailed badly in Maine. Clinton has yet to win, despite his pre-primary status as front-runner, but primaries in his native South begin next week.

Lopez: U.S. may have acted unethically during Gulf War By JAY STONE News Writer The U.S.-led coalition’s ac tions during the last few weeks of the Gulf War and the conse quent effects on the Iraqis raised serious moral questions about the ethics of war, said Professor George Lopez Tues day. In his lecture titled “Quotable Quotes, Slippery Slopes and the Search for Ethics in War: Fighting in the Persian Gulf,” Lopez, associate professor of government and international studies and faculty fellow in the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, examined whether the U.S. forces in the Gulf War acted unethically. Lopez said that his main goal was “to establish whether our behavior matched our best in tentions. If and where it did not, I wish to identify why that mav have been so.” According to Lopez, the allied forces delivered more “explosive tonnage in Kuwait and Iraq in 110 days than was dropped by all sides during World War II.” Lopez added that the kill ratio of enemy forces to coalition forces was the largest in the twentieth century and that the environmental and infrastruc ture damage in Iraq and Kuwait w ill effect “people and resources for years to come.” Lopez also expressed concern regarding the future of war- fighting strategies, particularly about the use of air power. Lopez saw the air land strategy employed in the Gulf War as “the wave of the future.” The political dialogue of the Iraqi invasion, Desert Shield and Desert Storm were “intermeshed” with ethical principles, Lopez added. From the very beginning of the Gulf War, U.S. strategists focused on a war-fighting policy which would lim it civilian casualties. According to Lopez, “unlike previous wars,” U.S. leaders, even during the Gulf War, em phasized this commitment. Although Lopez admitted that U.S.-led forces attempted to minimize civilian casualties by attacking military, strategic targets with precision-guided munitions, he said that this practice was “more true in Baghdad than it was in Basra and other cities.” Lopez added that the final coalition bombings of city in frastructure “contributed little or nothing to stated U.S. war goals: the liberation of Kuwait and the destruction of Saddam Hussein’s military capacity .... Nor did these attacks alter the military capacity of Iraq to de termine when and how the war would come" to an end. Lopez said that these bomb ings of the U.S.-led coalition raise the question of whether a fighting power has the respon sibility to allow the enemy to meet the basic needs of its pop ulace after the war has ended. Subsequently, Lopez said that the Iraqi people continue to suffer “disproportionately” from see LOPEZ / page 4 The Observer/Sean Farnan Quite a find Associate Librarian Laura Fuderer pages through “The Nuremberg Chronicles” in the Rare Books room in the Hesburgh Library.

Kerrey wins in South DakotaBush faces surprisingly large number of ‘uncommitted’

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sen. Bob Kerrey won the South D akota p r im a ry Tuesday, boosting his s tand ing in the Democratic p residentia l race. President Bush, the unopposed Republican w inner, was b u f­feted by a protest vote.

Lopez: U.S. may have acted unethically during Gulf WarBy JAY STONENews Writer

The U.S.-led co a litio n ’s ac­tions during the last few weeks of the Gulf War and the conse­quen t e ffec ts on the Ira q is raised serious moral questions about the ethics o f war, said Professor George Lopez Tues­day.

In his lecture titled “ Quotable Quotes, Slippery Slopes and the Search fo r E th ics in W ar: F igh ting in the Persian G ulf,” Lopez, associate pro fessor of government and in te rna tiona l studies and faculty fellow in the

According to Lopez, the allied fo rces d e liv e re d m ore “ explosive tonnage in K uw a it and Iraq in 110 days than was d ropped by a ll sides d u r in g World War II.”

Lopez added that the k ill ratio o f enemy forces to c o a lit io n forces was the la rgest in the

INSIDE COLUMN

Notre Dame needs to clean out its closets

Sir John Harrington, an English poet o f the 17th c e n tu ry , once w ro te “ T reason do th neve r p ro s p e r: W h a t’s thereason? F o r i f trea son ever prosper, none dare call it treason.”

T reason , taken q u ite DSV0 D letem an l i te ra l ly , is a c rim e o f Sports Editorl im ite d d im e n s io n s ,---------------------------in v o lv in g n a tio n s and p o lit ic ia n s . Yet interpreted broadly, treason can be called not ju s t politics, but business. It’s lies, deception, m is in fo rm ation and a ll the good s tu ff that comes a long w ith b ig business, b ig government and big educational institutions.

A t Notre Dame, treason is commonly re ­fe rre d to as “ p e rso n n e l m a tte rs " o r “ university business.” How many things go on at Notre Dame that the community is kept in the dark about? Cable television on campus two years ago? Mysterious disappearances of athletes from active lineups? Lawsuits against the university? Students forced to petition to Board o f Trustees in order to obtain h iring information for classes?

It is not simply that Notre Dame chooses not to do its laundry in public. The U niversity could not do so, as the w orld does not have enough detergent o r washing machines to cleanse Notre Dame’s soiled rags o f th e ir horrid iniquities.

In Roman times, it was said that Caesar’s w ife must not only be v irtuous, her v irtue must be unquestioned. The same can be said of Notre Dame (Caesar’s wife). Although the University maintains (w ithout documentation) th a t i t is v ir tu o u s , its v ir tu e has been co nv inc in g ly and rep ea te d ly questioned. Singing the Alma Mater is d ifficu lt at an in­stitution which spouts on and on about how it has nothing to hide but nonetheless acts like it has the skeletons of South African blacks, functionally illiterate athletes and other non­entities in its mammoth closets.

Notre Dame ought to be thankfu l fo r the myths of virtue and goodness which surround it. Were it not fo r these myths o f virtue and fo r the fact th a t such m yths make people genera lly u n w illin g to believe scandalous tales o f Notre Dame, this University would find Itself as well-respected as UNLV or the U n iv e rs ity o f M ia m i (F la .) . In s tead , an institution which is, as fa r as anyone knows, as crooked as any o ther allows itse lf to be passed off as holier-than-thou.

Are the men and women under the dome wearing blinders, or are they merely callous? Are they active accomplices to the crimes of which they stand accused, or are they, In their silence, accomplices after the fact?

Task forces on d ivers ity and crim e are a waste o f tim e and resources. W hat Notre Dame needs, i f it Is to survive fo r another 150 years, is an ethical and charismatic leader to purge the charlatans from its inner sanctums. I t needs a w illingness to defend its v irtue , open ly and h o n e s tly re sp o n d in g to accusations. For i f she is virtuous, why does she behave like a ta rt, sneaking around at night and working deals behind closed doors? A rra n g e m e n ts w ith NBC and E dw ard DeBartolo, Sr. doth surely prosper, and none dare call them treason.

The views are those o f the author and not necessarily those o f The Observer.

HPC asked to supportco-ed Pangborn moveBy BECKY BARNESNews Writer

Hall Presidents’ Council (HPC) was asked to s u p p o rt the committee to convert Pangborn into a co educational, chemical- free d o rm ito ry a t Tuesday’s meeting.

James Gannon, a Pangborn sen ior and a m em ber o f the committee, said that now is the time to make the change since Pangborn is already to be con­verted to a women’s dorm, and students w ill not have to worry about los ing th e ir own re s i­dence.

In a le tte r to HPC, Gannon said that a chemical-free, co-ed Pangborn “ w ou ld serve as a model fac ility and provide im ­petus for the future creation of a real co-ed housing option.”

I f Pangborn is co nve rte d , Gannon hopes to see m ore dorms slowly going co-ed in the future. With the continuing in­crease of women to the Univer­sity, Gannon said that he thinks i t w i l l be p oss ib le to eas ily make the transition.

Gannon believes the adminis­tration w ill be receptive to the

group, which has sent mailings to all University groups, rectors and assistant rectors asking for advice in addition to letters to The Observer and Scholastic, he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Israeli negotia to rs ins is ted Tuesday they were prepared to work out te rm s o f a se lf-ru le p lan fo r Palestinians. But a Palestinian spokeswoman rid icu led Israeli proposals as “ p reposte rous" and in the nature of apartheid.

The sharp d isa g re em en t, alongside a red-hot U.S.-Israeli d isp u te over Jew ish s e tt le ­ments, slowed the peacemaking process. Even selecting the site fo r the next ro u n d ran in to trouble. Chief Israeli negotiator E lyakim Rubinstein said only his government had responded to a U.S. request fo r suggested locations.

“ I t ’s a p ity tim e has to be wasted on such things," Rubin­

stein said at a news conference.Across town, Hanan Ashrawi,

spokeswoman fo r the Palestini­ans, d esc rib e d docum ents subm itted by Is ra e l M onday night as “ an insult to our in te l­ligence” because they perpetu­ated the Israe li occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and endorsed continued Jewish set­tlements of the disputed te rr i­tories.

R ub inste in said the “ rea lly e la b o ra te id e a s ’ ’ d id not amount to a b lueprin t for self- ru le , b u t d e a lt w ith g iv in g Palestinians who live under Is­raeli control considerable con­tro l over the ir day-to-day activ­ities.

“We hope the Palestinians w ill

be seriously considering them,” he said.

Eventually, Rubinstein said, “ they should be elaborated fu r­th e r in to a m ore d e ta ile d model” fo r self-rule.

Meanwhile, Rubinstein said, the issue of Jewish settlements should be deferred u n til te rr i­to r ia l problem s are taken up later in the negotiations.

But Ashraw i said the Pales­tin ian negotiators would refuse to discuss self-rule until the is­sues of settlements and human rights in lands the Arabs lost in the 1967 Six-Day War are re ­solved.

The day’s barga in ing at the State Department mostly dealt inconclusively w ith a procedu­ral issue, where the next round of talks would be held. Jordan proposed extending the current sessions here u n til March 11 and Israel agreed to consider the suggestion.

B u t R u b in s te in sa id he doubted it would be accepted. A fter two weeks o f bargaining the Is ra e li n eg o tia to rs m ust consult w ith th e ir government in Jerusalem, he said.

The three main goals o f the talks are to find a formula fo r Palestinians to run th e ir own day-to-day lives, resolve te r r i­

to r ia l d ifferences between Is­rael and the Arabs and estab­lish the legitimacy o f Israel as a Jewish state in a predominantly Muslim part of the world.

Is ra e l came u n d e r p u b lic pressure on Monday from Sec­retary of State James Baker to stop se ttlem ents in the West Bank, Gaza and other disputed territories or give up on getting U.S. backing fo r $10 b illion in bank loans Israe l has sought since last fa ll to help it absorb tens o f thousands of refugees from the fo rm er Soviet Union and Ethiopia.

Baker’s th rea t bolstered the Arabs’ position, and Israel re ­sponded by re ite ra ting its de­term ination to keep settling the territories and to come to terms w ith the P a les tin ian s and surrounding Arab nations.

The U.S.-Israel dispute came amid disclosures that the Bush adm inistration proposes to sell 72 advanced fig h te r je ts and long-range antitank missiles to Saudi A rab ia . Israe l has long opposed U.S. sales of advanced weaponry to Arab states out of concern i t w ill lose its qualita­tive m ilita ry advantage.

Israeli officials said specialists on health, economics, taxation

and o th e r fu n c t io n s the Palestin ians w ou ld take over had come here to take up a self- ru le p lan fo r the 1.7 m ill io n Palestinians living under Israeli m ilita ry government in the West Bank and Gaza.

“ T hey ’ re here as p ro o f we come w ith the fu ll intentional of ta lk ing substance,” said an Is­ra e li o f f ic ia l, in s is te d on anonymity.

Ashraw i said the Israeli plan envisions an “ aparthe id ” legal system where Jews are treated differently from Arabs and says Jews have the righ t to continue settling in Judea and Samaria, tra d it io n a l Jew ish names fo r the West Bank. “The document in itse lf is preposterous,” she said, “ b u t th a t doesn’t mean we’ll jus t throw it in the waste­basket” when substantive d is­cussions on self-rule begin.

The Palestinians on Monday presented Israel w ith a lengthy document detailing why the set­tlements, in the ir view, violate in ternational law and must be stopped.

“ W h ile the se ttlem ents are going on, while the bulldozers are leveling our land, i t is very clear that Israel is try ing to dig the grave of the peace process," Ashrawi said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — P re s id e n t Bush accused Democrats on Tuesday of trying to “ open a b idding w ar to see w ho can g u t defense the fastest" as he campaigned in a defense industry state ravaged by recession and sh ifting na­tional priorities.

Bush said Democratic plans to reduce defense spending be­yond his recommended $50 b il­lio n in cu ts a m o u n t to “ a Democratic double-play; cripple our defenses and the economy, a ll at the same tim e.”

“ We can reduce defense spending substantially,” he said in a fund-raising speech at the St. Francis Hotel. “ But there are Democrats w ith a different plan in mind. They want to use the end of the Cold war to open a bidding w ar to see who can

gut the defense the fastest.”Bush, hoping to overcome his

slump in C aliforn ia polls, was ju s t s ta r t in g a s ix -d a y tr ip combining politics in California and next week’s prim ary state of Georgia w ith a drug summit and other matters in his home state o f Texas.

The p re s id e n t came here w h ile South D ako tans w ere ho ld ing a p rim ary . Bush was w ithou t opposition on the Re­publican ballot there and thus expected to w in easily, although uncom m itted delegates were also running.

M in d fu l o f C a lifo rn ia ’s fo u n d e r in g defense and aerospace in d u s try and c r ip ­pled rea l estate m arket, Bush noted that $1 out o f every $5 is spent on defense is spent in Cal­ifornia.

the e ffe c ts o f the c o a lit io n bombing.

In a d d itio n to the las t c ity bombings, Lopez said that the U.S. attacks on Iraq i troops re­treating to Basra on the Jahra road implied that the U.S. may have behaved u n e th ic a lly . Jahra road has become known as the “ highway to hell,” Lopez said.

The U.S. forces, Lopez added, were assigned “ k ill zones” after they c rea ted a “ tra f f ic ja m ” along the road. Lopez said that the re treating Iraq i troops be­came “ a shooting ga lle ry” fo r U.S. a ir attacks.

U ltim a te ly , Lopez said th a t the Gulf War poses new ethical

d im ensions to w a rfa re . Ac­cording to Lopez, the a ir land strategy of the US-led coalition raised four main ethical issues:

• The trad itional definition of civ ilian, or co lla tera l, damage is an inadequate measure of the sufferings o f the populace.

• Precision-guided munitions alone w ill not allow combatants to avo id c iv ilia n casua lties . These munitions could actually destroy the necessary facilities, such as ene rgy and sewage plants, to meet c iv ilians’ basic needs.

• The most successful U.S. war in the last 40 years had the largest k i l l ra tio o f enemy to U.S. troops.

• U.S. leadership tended to emphasize the amount of m ili­tary hardware destroyed rather than the deaths o f Iraq i troops.

President BushBush said a Democratic pro­

posal to cut defense by $200 b il l io n w o u ld send “ shock waves” in to the construction and electronics and aerospace industries. He said there would be a ftershocks in rea l estate markets and laborers would be “ thrown out o f w ork and onto welfare.”

He portrayed the Republicans as defenders against “ a dan­

gerous enemy abroad," in years past w hen “ ir re s p o n s ib le D em ocra ts ... w o u ld have s tr ip p e d th is n a tio n o f the strength it needed to defense it­self.”

Invoking the popularity of the sta te ’s one-tim e governor, he added, “ No one understood that b e tte r than my predecessor, Ronald Reagan.”

M eanwhile , GOP challenger P a tr ic k B uchanan began a swing through Tennessee, Mis­s is s ip p i, A la ba m a and Louisiana in search o f Super Tuesday votes on March 10.

In Nashville, Buchanan told Vanderbilt University students that his “ America F irs t” p la t­form does not mean he is anti- Japanese. B u t he sa id the Japanese governm ent “ looks out fo r Japan first. We need a government that looks out for America firs t.”

B uchanan s ta te ch a irm a n

Lyle Simpson of Lewis burg said the candidate had planned to tou r the Saturn auto p la n t at Spring H ill to show support for American-made products. But Simpson said plant officials told the campaign on Thursday that the tour would be canceled. He said they gave no reason.

Bush only ind irectly fired at Buchanan.

“ A m e ric a n ’s fu tu re lie s in open m arkets. But ou r oppo­nents a ren ’t about to le t fact intrude on fantasy,” Bush said. He said trade barriers and iso­lationism amount to “ an eco­nomic retreat."

Bush e a r lie r Tuesday p re ­dicted that despite polls to the contrary, “ I th ink w e ’ll be a ll right in California.”

Even Reagan, however, was quoted in The Washington Post on Tuesday as te lling friends he was worried Bush was in trou ­ble because, “ he doesn’t seem to stand for anything.”

Senate puts restrictions on ChinaWASHINGTON (AP) — The

Senate voted Tuesday to slap new co nd itio ns on renew ing n o rm a l tra d e re la tio n s w ith China but fe ll well short of the tw o -th irds necessary to over­ride President Bush’s promised veto.

The 59-39 vote followed an unusual secret session of the fu ll Senate to rev iew in te l l i ­gence a b o u t B e ijin g ’s arm s sales to the Middle East.

The com prom ise b il l would require “ substantia l progress” by China in the areas of human rights, trade and weapons pro­liferation before most-favored- na tion trade sta tus could be renewed. That trade status ex­pires in June.

The House approved the con­d itio na l measure 409-21 last November, and i t now goes to the W hite House. The Senate ta lly was e ight votes short o f the tw o -th ird s th a t would be needed to override a veto i f all senators voted.

The B e ijin g g ove rnm en t Tuesday, in o ffic ia l reports co­incid ing w ith the Senate vote, spoke o f unspecified “ m a jo r

b reakthroughs” in U.S.-China trade talks now going on in the Chinese cap ita l. China a t the same time revealed the convic­tions o f seven more dissidents from the 1989 pro-democracy movement.

A f te r fe rv e n t debate la s t summer, the issue of U.S. policy toward China had lain dormant for months. Action by the Sen­ate’s Democratic leaders to re­vive it now was seen at least in p a rt as an election-year effort to embarrass the a dm in is tra ­tion by h igh ligh ting w hat has been an unpopular policy.

“There is potential on the part o f the Democratic leadership to try to underm ine the fo re ign policy leadership o f President Bush,” said Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind.

A d m in is tra tio n o ffic ia ls , in ­c lu d in g S e c re ta ry o f State James Baker and his deputy Law rence E ag le bu rg e r, had made numerous lobbying visits to Capitol H ill in recent days.

The m a tte r was d riven , as w e ll, by in te llig e n ce re p o rts that despite earlier Chinese as­

surances on curta iling overseas weapons sales, m iss iles and other items continue to flow to such v o la tile areas as Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan.

The CIA told lawm akers be­hind closed doors last week of evidence that China has shipped some $250 m illion in missiles, nuclear technology and related goods to those countries over the past ye a r o r so, sources said.

In addition, Chinese weapons makers have contracts or sales plans w orth another $1 b illion stretching years into the future, said the officials, speaking only on condition of anonymity.

“ There was a lo t o f p an ic ” resulting from the CIA briefing, said one senior adm in istration official.

To a ir those issues, senators retired for nearly two hours to the sm all, o rnate Old Senate Chamber. The closed session, required because o f the sensi­tiv ity of intelligence sources in ­volved, was the f irs t since an arm s c o n tro l tre a ty was de­bated in 1988.

Japan’s former leader testifies in scandalTOKYO (AP) — One of Japan’s

most powerful elder statesmen on Tuesday denied rece iv ing b rib e m oney fro m a now - d e fu n c t com pany, in p a r ­liamentary testimony aimed at ending po litica l paralysis over the scandal.

Another former Cabinet m in­ister, Jun Shiozaki, also testi­fied on his role in the affair. He adm itted rece iv ing $155,000 from the steel frame manufac­tu re r Kyowa Corp., but denied providing any favors in return.

The g o v e rn in g L ib e ra l D em ocra ts had re lu c ta n t ly asked fo rm e r Prime M in is te r Zenko Suzuki and Shiozaki to te s tify to end a p o lit ic a l im ­passe over the scandal.

Opposition parties had boy­cotted critica l budget proceed­ings for two weeks, demanding the testimony.

Senior politicians occasionally tes tify to respond p u b lic ly to charges of wrongdoing, in what is often little more than a ritual. This, coupled w ith the absence o f new d isc lo su res , seemed lik e ly to end the im passe. Law m akers w ere to resum e debate W ednesday on the budget fo r the fisca l year be­ginning April 1.

But Japan’s political problems ru n deeper th an the budge t debate. Prime M in is te r K iich i Miyazawa faces heavy pressure to carry out reforms aimed at c le a n in g up J a p a n ’s m oney politics, the factor underlying a slew of major political scandals in recent years.

The Kyowa case comes amid a lle g a tio n s o f a n o th e r even larger scandal involving Tokyo Sagawa Kyubin, a m ajor truck­ing firm .

Media reports allege Shiozaki rece ived $155,000, and th a t Suzuki $77,000 from Kyowa in return for political favors.

In two hours o f heated testi­mony, the 81-year-o ld Suzuki rejected allegations that he took money from Kyowa.

“ I have a b so lu te ly n o t re ­ce ived any funds connected w ith Kyowa and I would hereby like to clearly state that before the people,” said Suzuki, who was prime m inister from 1989- 82.

He has re tire d from P a rlia ­ment, but remains an in fluen­tia l party elder.

He a d m itte d a c c e p tin g $77,000 from Fumio Abe, a top associate o f M iyazaw a, soon a fte r Abe was given h is f irs t Cabinet post in 1989 in thanks fo r S uzuk i’s support. B u t he sa id he re tu rn e d the e n tire amount to Abe last year.

Abe has been charged w ith accepting $703,000 in bribes from Kyowa. He has adm itted taking money from Kyowa but has denied providing any favors in return.

Suzuki also acknowledged be­coming honorary d irecto r of a resort being developed by Ky­owa “ as a favor to Abe” but said he was not pa id fo r the post.

Shiozaki, a Miyazawa ally and fo rm e r head o f the M anage­ment and Coordination Agency, apologized fo r ta k in g money fro m Kyow a, say ing : “ I am sorry fo r my lack o f virtue and my careless acts.”

MOSCOW (AP) — Nearly eight weeks after price reforms were launched, the cost o f food and goods is no lo n g e r r is in g as rap id ly and supplies have im ­proved some, an Associated Press survey o f Moscow stores shows.

Consumers also have changed the ir buying and eating habits because o f the h igher prices. Sausage, cheese, butter, eggs and some o the r staples th a t were hard to find before the Jan. 2 price increases are now readily available, but at prices that force shoppers to buy less.

Spot shortages of goods such as cooking oil continue, accord­ing to the AP’s “ Moscow M ar­ke tb a ske t,” a w eekly survey conducted since Dec. 31 of se­lected stores in the capital.

“ Since the prices rose, the lines are longer, but the food is no more or less plentiful than it was,” Leonid Leyin said Tues­day as he paid 50 rubles for a k ilogram (2.2 pounds) o f fa tty meat. That price is seven times more than before Jan. 2.

The average monthly salary is 960 rubles based on an average 175 hours o f w ork per month. A t the cu rren t exchange rate, $1 is worth about 70 rubles.

Leyen said he used to buy meat more often, “ bu t now I buy it only occasionally, maybe once every two weeks.”

The p rice o f b u tte r, w h ich jum ped from 10 rubles a k ilo ­gram before Jan. 2 to 52 rubles on Jan. 14, seems to have leveled o ff at 56 rubles.

Sugar remains scarce. M ilk , nearly impossible to find in the firs t weeks o f January, now is more ava ilab le . B u t o f seven stores checked Tuesday, only three had some m ilk fo r sale.

W hile tha t is s lig h tly worse than last week, consumers and store managers say m ilk seems to be arriv ing w ith greater reg­u larity. M ilk is one o f the few goods still under price controls, and its cost has risen only about three times: from 64 kopecks a l i t e r be fo re Jan. 2 to 1.95 rubles this week.

Irina Kuznetsov, 70, le ft one s to re w ith 10 l i te rs o f m ilk Tuesday a fte r w a itin g in line w ith 50 people.

“This is not unusual fo r me,” said Kuznetsov, who uses it to make “ tv o ro g ” — s im ila r to cottage cheese — fo r the five members o f her family, instead of buying meat.

Irish court hears case on abortion

D U BLIN , Ire la n d (AP) — Protesters scuffled w ith police ou ts ide P a rlia m e n t Tuesday while the Supreme Court heard more arguments in the case of a 14-year-old g ir l barred from leaving Ireland for an abortion.

Some 300 d e m o n s tra to rs protesting the order struggled w ith police while try ing to re­move barriers outside the Par­liament buildings.

Five Supreme Court judges heard a second day o f a rg u ­ments, and another session was scheduled for Wednesday. The closed hea ring had been ex­pected to last two days, w ith a ju d g m e n t by the end o f the week. It was not known i f the extra day of arguments w ill de­lay the ruling.

The attorneys have not la id out the ir arguments in public, b u t a re lik e ly to focus on whether Ireland can forbid its citizens from going to another country in order to do some­thing that is legal in that coun­try.

Ireland, a member of the 12- nation European Community, has signed treaties that guar­antee freedom of travel.

The newest threat from Eastern Europe: Automobiles being stolen in Germany

BONN, Germany (AP) — Hey, w anna buy a Porsche? Low m ileage. A rea l road-bu rne r. Just the ticket for an East Eu­ropean entrepreneur in need of a Western status symbol.

Many eastern Europeans are eager to buy pricey cars, and th e y ’re g e ttin g th e ir p ick o f tens o f thousands — sto len from the streets o f Germany. The vast c r im in a l en te rp rise has sprung up w ith the fa ll of the Iron Curtain.

crease over 1990. A t least a th ird of the cars are believed to have disappeared to the East, mostly to neighboring Poland.

R u d o lf S e tte rs , G e rm any ’s federa l in te r io r m inister, says mobsters in Poland and Russia are the leaders o f many car- theft rings.

M oto rw e lt, a car magazine, came up w ith a little rhyme that cha rac te rizes the speed and deftness w ith w h ich the ca r thieves work:

“ H a rd ly s to len , a lready in Poland.”

Many buyers have no idea the cars have been stolen, authori­ties say.

The epidemic has generated anxiety in German car owners, anger in insurers and a sense of helplessness am ong German detectives who are unable to touch the kingpins because they live in foreign lands.

“A lot of people are suddenly d iscovering car a la rm s,” said B arbara Koch, spokeswoman fo r Germany’s HUK insurance group.

Fearing they w ill lose th e ir own cars, Hertz and Avis have slapped restrictions on driv ing rentals in to the East. A Hertz customer can drive an ordinary Volkswagen but not a Mercedes into Poland, and the former So­viet Union is totally off-lim its.

H am burg , a n o rth Germ an port city, has become a favorite target of the car rings, because i t is fu ll o f luxu ry cars and a fast drive on an autobahn to the Polish border.

M ichae l Weiss, H a m b u rg ’s deputy chief of detectives, said several local thieves have been arrested recently.

“ But these are little fish, not the people who contracted for cars to be stolen,” he said.

On a recent trip to Africa, the European Pope proved a bit more sympathetic to starving Africans than our own presidential candidate, Patrick Buchanan, who was paraphrased by the Chicago Tribune as saying, "The deaths of people in Europe matter more than the deaths of people in Africa."

LETTBIS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you to ND family from parents of student

Hoops fans should not be disrespectful

Dear Editor:Prior to January 24, 1992, the concep t o f a “ N o tre Dame Fam ily" meant little to us. We had heard the phrase used dur­ing the freshm en o rien ta tion a c tiv it ie s and had seen i t in University lite ra tu re . But only since the early m orning hours o f January 24, 1992, and the a c c id e n t th a t has fo re v e r changed our lives and the life of our daughter, Haley, have we learned firsthand that there re­ally is a “ Notre Dame Family" and what it means to be part of that family.Certainly, we were not the only family affected by the accident. Our hearts go out to the Beeler and Hipp families fo r the tragic loss o f M eghan and Colleen. And every other person on that bus, whether physically injured or not, was traumatized by the terrify ing experience.However, the purpose o f th is letter is not to discuss the acci­

dent or assess blame. Rather, we w ant to begin to sincerely thank the thousands of people who have prayed fo r H aley’s recovery. We have never before experienced such an outpouring of genuine love and support as we have received from fam ily and fr ien ds everyw here , and p a rticu la rly the students, fac­ulty, adm inistration and alumni of Notre Dame.We were pleased when Haley chose to a ttend N otre Dame; but now, having personally ex­perienced the warm th and car­ing of the Notre Dame Family, we cannot im agine her being anywhere else.T hank you, N o tre Dame, fo r your prayers, love and support. You have tru ly made a d iffe r­ence in Haley’s continuing re­covery.

Dear Editor:What a game! This sentiment

seemed to sum up the feeling o f the m a jo r ity o f the fans le a v in g the JACC a fte r S a tu rday ’s baske tba ll game against the UCLA Bruins.

U nfortunate ly, I d id n ’t feel like participating in everyone’s excitement. Instead my regard for the abilities, courage, and overa ll de te rm ina tion o f the N o tre Dame m e n ’s team became overshadowed by the rudeness and d is resp e c tfu l actions o f a few of my fellow s tuden ts here a t th is university.

D uring Saturday’s game, I was fo rtuna te enough to s it behind the UCLA visitor bench as I am a s tuden t m anager and was a s s is tin g in th is game. I was looking forward to being so close to the action, surrounded by thousands o f av id fans. F rom the f i r s t m om ents, how ever, my enthusiasm became tainted.

I soon learned what it fe lt

like to be a visiting opponent here a t N o tre Dam e. A barrage of insults fell upon my back, directed at the team in front of me. I could not believe some o f the ha rsh w ords aimed at the B ru in ’s players and coaches. These few, who stood d ire c t ly b eh in d the bench, attacked many aspects o f th is team , in te n d in g to in tim ida te and demean. Yet they were degrading not only to the UCLA p la ye rs and coaches, b u t a lso to th is university.

Even d u ring ha lf-tim e they staked themselves out in the tunnel by the v is ito r’s locker room and again verbally as­saulted the players when they returned to the court. These students had no respect. An usher, who was in charge of this area, did nothing to curb their remarks.

Yet w hy shou ld he? He expects that we are adults and behave civilly. These members

o f a C a th o lic U n iv e rs ity , how ever, d isp la ye d no m a tu r ity o r C h r is tia n a t t i ­tudes. I d idn’t expect them to go out and hug the opponent, b u t I a lso d id n ’ t expec t a incessant badge ring e ithe r. The entire game I fe lt sick to my s tom ach , p ro b a b ly suffering from a extreme case o f embarrassment.

Insults were directed at me when I was a high school a th­lete and I can only say that I em p a th ized w ith th is fin e team from C a lifo rn ia . F or despite losing to a team that ju s t recently broke even and suffering an onslaught o f ugly comments, they disp layed a great deal of class.

I jus t hope that in the future the fa n s ’ e n th us ia sm and loya lty w ill be d irected posi­tively and respectfully, so that a ll can enjoy the game.

“ S tepp ing O ut” doesn ’t ju s t have a d ive rse combination of dancers on stage, but o ff as well. The case consists of seven Saint M ary’s students, tw o N otre Dame law students, and one Notre Dame student.

A fte r casting fo r the p roduction in Nov., the group o f dedicated students went to w ork w ith the d ire c to r , p ro du ce r, and e s p e c ia lly the choreographer, Julia Mayer McCarthy. Only three actors out of the ten had p rio r tap experience, so the crew immediately enrolled in a tap class which met twice a week.

When the team was no t in class, they w ere practicing long hours on stage. “ It got to the point where some of us were so good at tapping that we had to ‘fake’ screwing up on the stage,” explained Keri Latherow, one o f the cast members. “ I th ink it ’s probably the next best thing to a musical.”

P h ilip Patnaude has des igned the set fo r “ Stepping Out,” and David Corothers is in charge of costume design. The groups o f actors that w ill be tapping away this week include Kim Tomko, J ill Hotek, Brynn Umhofer, Susan Toth, Keri Latherow, Cecelia M artin , Stephen Zayko, Alyssa Moehle, Dianne Reed, and Shayla Richards.

Tickets are available at the Saint M ary ’s box office located in O’Laughlin Auditorium , open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. General Admission tickets are $6, $5 fo r students, and $3 fo r Saint M ary’s students. Visa and Master Card orders are accepted by phone at (219) 284-4626.

K ra v itz , C u lt in v a d e th e JACCBy Fran MoyerAccent writer

It was an odd evening at the JACC la s t n ig h t as Lenny K rav itz and the Cult invaded our placid campus.

The concert started o ff w ith Lenny Kravitz taking the stage and attempting to take a ll o f us back to the Sixties. A fte r a ll was said and done, he did an a lrigh t job.

K ra v ltz 's pe rfo rm ance was interrupted a few times by the Cult’s Ian Astbury, who paraded around a sign stating things not ab le to m e n tio n e d in a p o l i t ic a l ly -c o r re c t C a th o lic

university’s newspaper.D esp ite A s tb u ry a n tic s ,

K ra v itz was able to end his performance on a cheerful note by s ing ing h is h it, “ Let Love R u le ." Before f in is h in g th is song, how ever, the ever-so r ig h te o u s K ra v itz began to spout his “ love" line.

A f te r a few m in u tes o f hearing how beau tifu l we a ll were and how much he loved God, people and the planet, he led the c ro w d In a m assive show o f p o s itiv e ene rgy by urging everyone to hold hands. I c o u ld n ’ t he lp b u t have flashbacks to We Are the World.

As the c ro w d was s t i l l

reveling in the moment created by K rav itz , the C ult took the stage. In my opinion, the crowd was not ready fo r the assault that lay ahead.

Performing mostly songs from their recent Ceremony, the Cult played as loud and hard as they have in the past. In fact, their intensity on this tour appeared to be much higher than it had on previous tours.

Asbury was in contro l from the beg inn ing as he took the stage in his typical black outfit. T h ro u g h o u t the show, he danced a ro u n d stage lik e a banshee on acid.

A lthough w a tch ing Astbury stage pe rfo rm ance was very e n jo ya b le , i t was the heavy m us ic o f the C u lt th a t tru ly m ade the co n ce rt w o rth my $12.

O.K., I a dm it “ heavy" is an ove rused w o rd in a m usic c r it ic ’s vocabulary, but I know no other way to describe the ir music.

During the concert, I felt like someone was slowly d rillin g a hole in my skull. For some odd reason, how ever I liked th a t feeling and wanted desperately fo r the crowd to feel the same way .

The crow d did not seem to take as enthusiastically to the C u lt’s m usic as I would have lik e d . I a d m it th a t i t is an acquired taste, but how can you

not react like a lunatic when you see the Cult perform.

As the cu lt perfo rm ed such c lass ics as “ She Sells Sanctuary" and “ Peace Dog,” a m a jo r ity o f the crow d bare ly re a c te d , on ly b o p p in g th e ir heads to the groovy beat.

One of the strongest reactions by the crowd to the Cult’s music was during the encore, i f you w an t to ca ll i t that, when the band played “ F irewoman” and “ Love Removal Machine."

Perhaps the largest reaction by the crowd all n ight occurred when Kravitz ran out on stage in an o u tf it th a t revealed his butt. It is a shame that this got the m ost rea c tion ou t o f the c ro w d . T he re was so m uch more to react to, like the music o f the Cult.

“ T hey ’ve asked me to step away for awhile, which is OK,” Rapp said in Tuesday’s editions of the Syracuse Herald-Journal. “This is the most sensitive time right now.”

Rapp was accused o f giving cash to players in a 500-page report the university has pre­sented to the NCAAssociation. The 13-month probe found 15 violations o f NCAA rules.

The u n iv e rs ity expects the NCAA to issue a p re lim in a ry letter o f inquiry w ithin the next month, which would indicate a fo rm a l investiga tion is under way.

Rapp did not use the w ord “ disassociate," a term that de-

The university has acknowl­edged d isassoc ia ting Joseph Gianuzzi, the ousted president o f the H ardw ood C lub who housed Syracuse players during the sum m er, and Fred Grimaldi, owner of a restaurant where players ate for free.

Syracuse spokesman Robert H ill was unavailab le fo r com­m en t. H is o ffic e re leased a statement last week saying it w o u ld have no fu r th e r com m ent on S yracuse ’s basketball investigation.

Rapp also declined to discuss the spec ifics o f the charges against him because of the pos­sible NCAA investigation. Rapp said he cooperated w ith univer­sity investigators and w ill coop­erate w ith the NCAA.

He said investigators told him five players testified Rapp gave them cash ins ide C hris tm as cards. Rapp noted each of the five had been a d is g ru n tle d former player.

Catherine Restovich and the other seniors on the Saint Mary’s basketball team play their last home game tonight against Calvin College.

Coaches support YoderCHICAGO (AP) — Steve Yoder’s

fe llo w B ig Ten b aske tba ll coaches w e re shocked and supportive fo llow ing his forced res igna tion a fte r 10 years at Wisconsin.

"1 guarantee you they w ill not hire a better coach than Steve Y oder,” sa id Lou Henson o f Illinois Tuesday in the Big Ten’s w ee k ly te le c o n fe re n c e o f coaches. “ But we re a ll grown up and know what happens.”

Yoder resigned Monday effec­tive at the end o f the season when a th le t ic d ire c to r Pat Richter told Yoder he would not recommend renewing his con­tract, which had one year re ­maining.

“ I ’m absolutely disappointed at what happened,” Yoder said. “ I t ’s a s itu a t io n w he re Pat wants his own man. That’s his prerogative, i t ’s an athletic d i­rector’s decision.”

Yoder said the players were “shocked and disappointed and d id n ’t a n tic ip a te th is a t th is

tim e o f the year. But th e y ’ ll bounce back. Yesterday was 24 h ou rs b u t i t seemed lik e a week.”

Some of the coaches said w in ­ning at Wisconsin was d ifficu lt because of a lack of basketball trad ition and an ancient field- house that makes recruiting all the more difficult. They also felt Yoder had tu rn e d the co rner w ith some good young talent in Tracy W ebster and freshman Michael Finley.

“ It’s an insult to the Big Ten and the coaching profession,” Jud H ea thco te o f M ich iga n S tate sa id . “ He d id an o u t­stand ing job w ith lim ite d re ­sources and a fa c ility th a t is d iffic u lt to re c ru it to. We had the same problem (recru iting) w ith Jenison Fieldhouse.”

Clem Haskins o f M innesota said, “ People want to say w in ­ning isn’t im portant and money isn’t important. I felt Steve was doing a good job.

n ine rebounds a ga in s t Kalamazoo on Saturday.

“This is the last game of my firs t season,” joked M ulhern. “ I t ’s going to be real hard be­cause I ’ve made a lo t o f rea l good friends. I t ’s been a good experience.”

Although Mulhern and Cook did not play in the Calvin game, b o th a re e xc ited fo r the m atchup, not ju s t because o f the revenge element, bu t be­cause i t is th e ir la s t home game.

“ I t ’s going to be difficult. I t ’s your senior year, you played high school sports and college sports and this is the fina le ,” Cook remarked. “The game w ill be emotional because there are seniors on both teams.”

Cook took a year o ff last sea­son, but came back to the bas­k e tb a ll team fo r h e r sen io r year. The five-foot-nine guard has come off the bench to score 1.9 ppg and snag 1.7 rebounds per game.

“ We know that Kelly’s going to help us and Kate is going to help us as well,” added Cromer.

Missing from tonight’s lineup w ill be forward Janet Libbing, who was forced to s it on the s id e lin e s d u r in g the B e lo it

matchup. Although the team’s leading rebounder and second leading scorer (14.7 ppg, 7.8 rpg) w ill have to watch from the bench, the game is still d ifficult fo r L ib b in g to th in k about. “ Don’t expect me to be holding up. In a way, I th ink I may have already had to deal w ith that. But I jus t don’t know.”

Despite her absence on the court, L ibb ing is confident in her teammates ab ility to take Calvin. L ib b in g ’s perspective from the bench has given her opportunities to see the growth in her teammates, including the underclassmen.

“ We’ re going to be a com ­p le te ly d if fe re n t team than what they saw at Calvin. They’ ll see confidence in everyone one of the players.” Libbing added, commenting on the transition of leadership on the team, “ In the beginning o f the year, seniors took contro l. Now jun io rs are making moves to be where they need to be to take charge. It ’s re a lly a m a tu re b a ske tb a ll team.”

A lthough the team is deter­mined to w in tonight, they must f i r s t shu t dow n C a lv in ’s b ig three. Kim Bartman (16.9 ppg) manhandled the Belles defense the f irs t tim e, dom ina ting a ll s c o rin g w ith 27 po in ts .

O verw ay (8.4ppg, 9 .2 rpg ) is also expected to be aggressive u n d e rn e a th as the te a m ’s lead ing rebounder. However, both players and Crom er are confident they w ill disassemble Calvin’s big three with the ir de­fense.

“ We p layed a lo t o f zone against them the firs t time. We w o n ’ t be p la y in g a zone to n ig h t , ” said Crom er. “ Our w ho le game is ru n , gun and have fun. As long as we run it, w e ’ re a ll r ig h t. I t ’s when we slow it down that we get into trouble. We’re going to see a lot of man-to-man.”

A s s is ta n t coach Joanne Nester agreed, adding, “ We’ve gotten better and tighter at the m an-to-m an and sw itch ing to the fast break. ”

As fo r the emotion o f a last home game, Cromer sees this game as perhaps the most emo­tiona l fo r his seniors. It is in this perspective that he exhibits the most pride in his g irls for the e ffo rts they have made throughout the ir collegiate ca­reers.

“ I th ink what the seniors w ill have to do is look back at their years at Saint Mary’s and look at the good things. A good ed­ucation. And I th ink the compe­t it io n in baske tba ll makes i t easier to deal w ith the business world outside. It’s not easy like it used to be.”

Rosenthal promotes O'BrienObserver Staff Report

Joe O 'B rie n , w ho has directed the business end of the U n iv e rs ity o f N o tre Dame’s a th letic departm ent s ince 1976, has been promoted to senior associate a th le tic d ire c to r . The ann ou nce m e n t was m ade today by Notre Dame athletic director Dick Rosenthal.

O’ B rie n f i r s t jo in e d the Irish athletic staff in 1976 as business m an ag e r and assistant athletic director. He was prom oted to associate athletic director in 1983 and now has handled personnel, budgetary, purchasing, travel and other internal affairs for nearly 16 years.

“ T h is a ss ig nm e n t is a tribu te to the scope o f Joe’s involvement in v irtua lly every aspect o f o u r a th le tic department," says Rosenthal.

“There is n ’t an event we host, a t r ip we p la n o r a

Joe O’Brienmajor project we undertake in w h ich Joe is no t an in te g ra l part o f its implementation. He has been an invaluable aide to me in the five years I ’ve been at Notre Dame.”

A longtim e employee o f the University, O’Brien served as d irector o f Notre Dame’s per­sonnel department fo r 21 years p rio r to jo in ing the athletic staff in ‘76. He has orchestrated the details o f 11 m ajor bowl trips and the same number of NCAA to u rn a m e n t appearances in b a s k e tb a ll. He se rved as

tournament director for both the ‘ 85 and ‘88 NCAA f irs t and second-round basketball to u rna m en t games held at Notre Dame.

The P h ila d le p h ia , Pa., native was honored w ith the E dw ard “ M oose” K rause Aw ard F rid ay n ig h t by the Notre Dame Club of Chicago fo r his dedicated service to the University. He served as p re s id e n t o f the College A th le tic Business Managers Association in ‘83 and also was inducted in to the F irs t Interstate Bank Athletic Hall of Fame.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Attorneys fo r Jerry Tarkanian say they’ ll go to court i f the UNLV coach is no t a llo w e d to re sc in d his re s ig n a tio n and coach the Runnin’ Rebels next year.

Meanwhile, a UNLV professor has joined in the call for a two- year suspension of the basket­ball program, a suggestion first made last week by a Las Vegas newspaper columnist.

Attorneys fo r the coach deliv­ered a letter to UNLV president R obert M axson on Tuesday, declaring Tarkanian s resigna­tion of June 6, 1991 to be null and void. The resignation was to have been effective July 1, 1992, but Tarkanian told sup­porters Sunday n igh t th a t he

was w ithdraw ing it.The five-page le tter to Maxson

said Tarkan ian was “ coerced and pressured ” into signing the resignation agreement.

Both Maxson and Don Klasic, legal counsel fo r the Nevada U n ive rs ity System, have said the re s ig n a tio n is le g a l and b in d in g . M axson has ca lled Tarkanian s resignation a dead issue.

A ttorneys Chuck Thompson and A la n Jones con tend a “ civility agreement," which was part of the resignation was vio­la te d by UNLV o ff ic ia ls . U n ive rs ity o ffic ia ls have con­firm ed the c iv ility agreement, b u t say i t w as v io la te d by Tarkanian, not UNLV.

Notre Dame started the sec­ond ha lf w ith a 6-0 run, which resulted in a 40-29 lead w ith 19:05 left. However, Dayton re­grouped a fte r a tim eou t and countered w ith a 23-12 spurt, which started at 15:42 w ith a Robertson three-pointer. Chip Hare tied the game at 57 with 4:54 left on two free throws.

Down the stretch, both teams showed a combination of good defense and sloppy play. Duke’s layup was the only field goal by either team.

After 40 seconds had elapsed, Keith Tower missed a 15-foot ju m p e r, w h ic h led to Robertson’s free throw that tied the game.

W ith the Irish running down the clock, Bennett lost the ball and Flyer guard Derrick Dukes sta rted the fast break. Boyer fouled him on a layup. Dukes h it both free throws to cut the Notre Dame lead to five, 34-29, at the half.

Despite the loss, MacLeod did not feel the season was over.

“ We’l l come back. We have three games at home, but none of them w ill be easy,” MacLeod said. “We are a target and we have to deal w ith that.”

Wrestlers host Purdue in seniors’ home finaleBy JIM VOGLS po rts W rite r

W hen the N o tre Dame w restling team steps onto the Joyce ACC floor against Purdue at 7:30 ton igh t, it w ill be the last time for four Irish seniors- — M arcus Gowens, Todd T om azic , Tom S a lv ino and Chuck Weaver.

Ir is h head coach F ran McCann, who described th is year’s 17th ranked Boilermaker squad as one of their best he’s seen, said, “We’ve always had great meets. This one should be the same.”

The Irish lost at Purdue last season, 24-11.

Notre Dame hopes the match w ill be an emotional send-off, and w ill build momentum going into the NCAA tournament. But McCann hopes his team can fo­cus on one thing at a time.

“At the end o f the year, it be­comes a m en ta l th in g ,” said McCann. “ W hoever is in the best frame of mind should come out on top."

So the Ir is h w i l l co u n t on th e ir core o f seniors to show

m aturity and poise.Gowens, a four-year starter at

126, clearly established himself as the team leade r. W ith consistent 24-win performances in h is f i r s t th re e years and currently holding a 21-4 record, he could become the ninth Irish w re s tle r to ec lipse the 100- victory plateau. To do so, he w o u ld need a w in a g a in s t Purdue and a strong showing in the NCAA tournament.

Weaver, the heavyweight from Gowens’ hometown of Del City, Okla., also hopes to re tu rn to h is home state fo r the NCAA championships. Weaver took a b it more time to develop at the college level. But a fter a me­diocre 34-39 record through his firs t three seasons, he has come on strong, going 16-5 this year.

However, Weaver can hardly look past today’s match, when he’ ll face a tough customer in P urdue ’s heavyw e igh t, a 31- year old M arine Corps master sergeant.

“ He’s not th a t much bigger than Chuck, but he’s a physical specimen,” explained McCann. “ He’s experienced and tough. Chuck los t p re tty bad to him

The Irish hope to climb all over 17th-ranked Purdue in their final dual meet of the season.The Observer/ David Lee

two years ago, but (Weaver) is a d iffe ren t w restle r now. W hat you concern yourself w ith is in ­tim idation. This time around I th ink things w ill be different.”

At 167, Todd Tomazic (11-10)

looks to cap off a solid career. His 72 career wins are second only to Gowens, w ith no other Ir is h w re s t le r even close. Tomazic, from Placentia, Calif., is an MBA student taking ad­

vantage of his final year o f e li­gibility.

Salvino (190), plagued by in ­ju r ie s th roughou t his career, w ill be try ing to make up fo r lost time.

Nebraska football players arrested at baseball partyLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Seven

Nebraska football players have been cited fo r assault, trespass­ing and other violations in what po lice say was a f ig h t w ith members o f the school’s base­ball team at a house party.

The seven are scheduled to appear in L ancas te r County Court over a three-day period b e g in n in g M arch 11. C ity A tto rn e y B il l A u s tin sa id Tuesday no formal charges had been filed.

Police Lt. David Beggs said a group including some baseball p laye rs fo rc e d tw o fo o tb a ll players to leave a house party

F rid a y n ig h t because they wouldn’t pay a cover charge for beer.

The two came back later w ith other members o f the football team and a fight allegedly en­sued, Beggs said.

Six members of the baseball team and one fo rm e r p layer w e re in ju re d , Beggs sa id . Several o f them were treated and re leased fro m L in co ln General Hospital.

Police identified the football players as:

— Brian Havens, 19, cited for d isturbing the peace and tres­passing. Havens, a scholarship

lin e b a cke r, is fro m Los Alamitos, Calif.

— Jeffery Hughes, 20, cited for a ssau lt and tresp ass in g . Hughes, a walk-on receiver, is from Norfolk.

— Lance Gray, 21, cited fo r a ssau lt and d is tu rb in g the peace. Gray, a w a lk -o n linebacker, is from Oswego, N.Y.

— Zach Wiegert, 19, cited for tresp ass in g and assau lt. Wiegert, a scholarship lineman, is from Fremont.

— Raymond R eifenrath, 23,

cited fo r assault and c rim ina l mischief. Reifenrath, a walk-on lineman, is from Dakota City.

— Todd Gragnano, 20, cited fo r trespassing. Gragnano, a s c h o la rs h ip q u a rte rb a c k , is from Fountain Valley, Calif.

— Terry Connealy, 19, cited fo r trespass ing . Connealy, a scho larsh ip linem an, is from Hyannis.

Lt. Lee Wagner said he did not know w h ich two players in i­tia lly visited the party.

“ It was completely out of line to go back,” football coach Tom Osborne said. “ We’ve always to ld them th a t they have to walk away from these kinds of th in g s , because they neve r w in."

O sborne sa id the p la ye rs would be punished but wouldn’t elaborate on how.

“ This is embarrassing to the p rogram , to the team and to m e,” he said. “ There w ill be some pretty severe discipline.”

DAYTON—A lex R obertson and the D ayton Flyers (14-13) dealt a serious blow to the NCAA Tournam ent hopes o f the Notre Dame’s men's b a s k e tb a ll team (1 1 -1 2 ) la s t n ig h t a t the University of Dayton Arena w ith a 60-58 win.

The Flyers were able to overcome quick Irish starts in both halves. Dayton took the ir firs t lead w ith 6.9 seconds le ft in the game when Derrick Dukes finished a fast break, which was started by Robertson and Dayton’s trapping defense.

After Robertson tied the game at 58 w ith 34.3 seconds left, Notre Dame called timeout to set up their offense, but it also gave Dayton a chance to set up its defense.

“We came out of the timeout and they threw a trap on us that we weren’t expecting,” said Elmer Bennett.

Three Flyers surrounded Bennett at halfcourt, Robertson stripped the ba ll and Dukes took it down court for the layup and the lead.

“We wanted to take the last shot on our home floor so we applied the pressure,” Robertson said. “ He [Bennett] brought the ball above his head, and I was waiting fo r him to bring it down, which he did. I slapped it up and got it . ”

Notre Dame had a final chance to tie, but could not get a a shot o ff as Robertson recorded his Dayton record ninth steal o f the game when he in te rc e p te d a B rooks B oyer pass, w h ich he anticipated all the way.

"We tried to run a p lay and get a s itua tion where Elmer could push i t up, kick the defense and give Brooks a shot at i t , ” Irish coach John MacLeod said of the play.

As the buzzer sounded, the Dayton student sec tion s to rm e d the c o u r t to ce le b ra te the comeback victory.

the Observer/ R. Garr Schwartz A scrappy Dayton defense held Daimon Sweet, shown here against UCLA, to 12 points in the Flyers 60-58 win last night.

DAYTON- Sloppy play in the second half doomed the Ir is h in N o tre D am e’s 60 -58 loss to the University of Dayton.

The Irish took a 34-29 lead into the second half thanks in part to senior guard Elmer Bennett’s 20 firs t h a lf points. Bennett nailed four 3-pointers w ith in the firs t six minutes of the game to push Notre Dame out to an early lead.

The second half was a different story.“ We missed a lot o f good shots and turned the

ball over,” said Notre Dame coach John MacLeod. “They (Dayton) made key shots inside and key shots outside.”

The Irish were 10-of-23 from the field adding up to a disappointing .435 shooting percentage in the second half. Senior LaPhonso Ellis led all Notre Dame shooters w ith nine second-half points. Only three o ther players scored fo r the Ir ish in the second half. Senior Daimon Sweet had seven, se­n io r Keith Tower added six and freshman Billy Taylor had two points.

Probably the biggest factor in the loss was the turnovers. Notre Dame coughed up the ball 25 tim es in the course o f the game, 13 o f those coming in the second half. Dayton only turned the ball over 11 times in the entire game.

“That’s a great story to only have 11 turnovers and to cause them to have 25. That was a big factor,” said Dayton coach Jim O’Brien.

Statistically, everything went wrong for the Irish in the second half. In addition to m aking fewer fie ld goals and fewer free throws in the second half, Notre Dame also connected on one three- p o in te r as com pared to see MISCUES/page 13

Leary assists women’s turnaroundBy JASON KELLYSports Writer

It has been an up and down season fo r the N otre Dame women's basketball team, but one stab iliz ing force has been the p lay o f sophom ore po in t guard Kara Leary.

It took in ju ries to freshman A u d re y Gomez and ju n io r Coquese W ash ing ton be fo re Leary was inse rte d in to the s ta r t in g lin e u p , bu t she has been a regu la r since her firs t start against Detroit on January 29.

With Leary in the lineup, the Irish have won six o f nine to improve th e ir record to 10-14 and strengthen th e ir hold on second place in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference race.

Leary w on ’t take c red it fo r the team’s improvement, how­ever. Instead, she cites im ­proved teamwork as the key to the turnaround.

“We’ve jus t been playing bet­te r toge ther as a team ,” she said.

Teamwork begins at the point guard position, however, and Leary has handled the respon­sibility well. In only her second career s ta rt she collected ten points and ten assists to lead the Irish to an im portant con­fe rence w in o ve r Loyo la . Against DePaul on February 11 she notched a career high 11 assists and she continued her solid p lay Monday n igh t in a w in over Evansville , sco ring eight points and dishing out six assists.

One im p o r ta n t aspect o f Leary’s game is the absence of turnovers, which plagued the Irish early in the year. For the year, the N ashua, New Ham pshire native has 43 as­sists against only 32 turnovers.

Saying goodbye is never easy for anyone.Saying goodbye to a basketball career is no different.However, there comes a time when players must take their

last shot, grab their last rebound, make their last free throw, take th e ir la s t tim eou t. The sen iors o f the S a in t M a ry ’s basketball team (9-9) w ill be doing jus t that tonight at 7 when they host division riva l Calvin College (10-10) in the Angela Athletic Facility.

Tonight’s matchup w ith Calvin w ill be mixed w ith emotion and intensity, as well as a dash of revenge. The Belles close th e ir home season w ith the team th a t handed them th e ir second loss of the year. The Belles hope to reverse the 72-69 score against Calvin tonight. For this year’s seniors, it is a long anticipated matchup.

“ I think I keep ignoring the fact that it w ill be our last home game. Each year I remember the last game ceremonies feeling so young and thinking, 'I wonder what it feel like to have your las t gam e,’ ” e xp la ined Belles lea d in g sco re r C a the rin e Restovich, who leads the team in scoring with a 15.1 points per game average.

“ I t ’s emotional. It’s something that means so much to you. I ’m going to miss the players and coaches.

They are one o f the firs t team ’s we played and 1 believe they’re not even going to recognize us. We didn’t even know what our strong points were yet. They are in for a whole new th ing .”

Restovich ch ipped in 12 points and grabbed s ix in the previous Calvin game. This time, both she and Belles coach Don Cromer expect to see even more from her.

“ Catherine has got to be our leader tonight. She’ll have to set the pace,” Cromer said.

C rom er w i l l n o t ju s t be lo o k in g to h is lead fo rw a rd Wednesday night. S tarting w ith Restovich tonight w ill be se­niors Kelly Cook and Kate Mulhern. Although the two have not started regularly throughout the season, the performance given by the two athletes o ff the bench has proven key during tight contests.

“ Cook is going to play outstanding defense for us and help us w ith the last break," said Cromer. "Katie plays a real strong defensive game. She has a real knack for being in the right place at the right time. ”

Mulhern waited until her senior year to play. She did not not start, but has proven an important player off the bench. In her rookie season, M ulhern has contributed 2.7 ppg and 2.5 re­bounds, inc lud ing eight points and see F,NALE/page 13
