Trustees diteussenergy projectsby Stephen Betts

Staff writer

Energy was the focus of the University ofMaine Board of Trustees meeting held onTuesday morning at the Bangor campus.The trustees heard from professors and a

representative from the Maine ExtensionService on the status of energy technologyand ways in which these processes couldbenefit the university system.

"The presentation was made to showthe real crisis of energy on campus."Roger Snow of the Chancellor's office said."the fuel costs for the colleges in fiscal1979 was in the vicinity of $4 million andnext year that figure should be at $4.5million.•'

An overview of the technology nowavailable in the field of energy was givenby Professor Richard Hill of the Depart-ment of Mechanical Engineering. Hillnoted that a large amount of energy couldbe saved in the production of paper. Heestimated that 2 million barrels of oil couldbe saved each year if the wood beingprocessed was 1 percent dryer.Dr. Alton Clark of the Physics Depart-ment spoke to the trustees on the adyances

in photovoltaics (cells in solar heatingsystems that transform light to energy).Cells are now being constructed to reducethe steps in transforming light to energyand making solar power more costefficient.Three pilot projects are also being tried

at three UMaine campuses across thestate. A solar water heater is beinginstalled at the cafeteria on the UMaine atPresque Isle campus. A coal furnace willreplace an oil-fired burner in Merril Hall atthe college in Farmington."We expect this coal furnace to cutenergy by 25 percent in this building,"

Snow said. "This translates out to asavings of S6000 a year for that onebuilding alone."

A burner that will use wood chips is thethird protect to be tried by the trustees.This will be installed at Powers Hall at theMachias campus.

The board also took action on threeappointments to university positions, in-cluding one to the Orono campus. Lewis E.Clark was named as director of Interna-tional Agricultural Programs. Clark is aUMO graduate with a degree in farmmanagement and finances. His duties willbe to coordinate international agriculturalprograms at Orono.

Also named to posts were Loren W.Dowey. Dean of Education at the Univer-sity of Southern Maine. and Lostus C.Carson as associate professor at USM.The trustees also heard from Robert B.Binswanger on the progress of theassessments of the academic programsthroughout the university system. Twoprograms are to be evaluated at eachcollege. except UMO which will have six ofits programs reviewed.

Orono-BCC night bushalted after low turnoutby Susan Day

Staff writer

A two-week trial period of extendedevening bus service between the Oronoand BCC campuses determined thatservice was unnecessary, according toBrian T. Page. director of the BCC groundsand services department.

The shuttle bus between campusesstarted the evening bus route in earlyDecember to go into effect after the Citibusstopped service for the evening.

the shuttle bus was started to aidstudents who lived in Bangor and wished toremain on campus after the Citibus madeits last run to Bangor.

Page said Tuesday that the three or tourbus trips averaged "only three or fourpeople" combined per night.The costs of the test, $3 per trip, were

added to the original costs of the serviceand picked up by Page's department.John T. Cyr, of Cyr Bus Company, saidhe was not surprised by the information theprogram covered. He said the cost

increases--for the added three and a halfto four miles per trip—did not justify theextremely small turnout.

Original trip routes called for the busesto travel from one campus to the other byway of 1-95. The route used during the trialperiod had buses traveling down Route 2(State Street). up Union St. in Bangor tothe BCC campus.

Lew Strickland. an off-campus senator.had received the approval of the studentsenate in October of last year to plan there-routing. Strickland had originally esti-mated about 1.000 students would beeffected by the service. Page and Cyr,however, were never sure there was thatlarge a market for the buses.

"1 wasn't surprised at all." Cyr said."There are only a few people that wantto use it (the service).''Page said. "When 1 was told there wereso many people who might want to use theservice, 1 said 'Let's go ahead with it.' Butthings never quiet got that big."Neither Page nor Cyr indicated it theprogram would be started again.

Student government asksfor MUAB name changeby Stephen Betts

Mike LowryStaff writers

MUAB. formerly the Memorial UnionActivities Board, has become SEA—for"Student Entertainment and Activities."

Kent Dyer. president of SEA, said thatstudent government, who gave the boardS27.150 in funds last year, asked for thechange in title."They asked us to change our name

because it (MUAB) didn't tell anythirgabout us." Dyer said.

Student Government President Hewessaid the change to SEA should give theboard more recognition. "MUAB doesn'tappropriately describe the mission of thegroup. Students actually pay for it." hesaid.The group changed its name to MUAB

from the Memorial Union Activities Boardin 1975. when the Memorial Union wasabout to "drastically cut our budget.- saidDyer. MUAB then became a board ofstudent government.The decision to change names from

MUAB to SEA was officially made Dec. 17,and was brought before the student senateand approved the following night.The new name. said Dyer. tells that SEA

"brings entertainment, and it is student-run. Anyone can work here—it's not aclosed group."

There are presently 56 people workingfor SEA and "always room for more,"Dyer said.However, the change in name has

caused "a lot of problems in recognition."said Roger Brodeur. a senator fromEstabrook Hall and a member of SEA."Booking agencies and companies stillrefer to MUAB. Our pins and tickets still

say MUAB. as do other previously printedmaterial. Bills are still sent to theMemorial Union Activities Board."Dyer agreed there was a lot of confusion

generated by the name change, and thatthey were trying hard to relieve thatconfusion.SEA will present

Shortage of candidatesmay allow an easy winby Steve McGrath

Staff writer

The student government elections forpresident. vice president and about adozen senatorial posts are about a monthaway. However, current Student Govern-ment Vice President Steve Bucherati saidhe hasn't heard of anybody running.

• • I see no one running." Bucherati said.He knew of one person who was thinking ofrunning for president but withdre%Monday."Every year. you have a hunch (who will

run)." Bucherati said. But this year. it'sdifferent."Anybody could run and win." he said.Bucherati said he hoped some candi-

dates would begin to express their interestin running. Those students who areinterested must become aware of the timeschedule that will be involved in thisyear's election.

Bucherati said the senate voted over-whelmingly last semester to move theelections from their customary date inMarch to late February. This requires acampuswide vote to change a bylaw of thesenate constitution.

Students will be asked to go to pollbooths on Jan. 31 to decide the question ofwhether the senate should be allowed tohold the election in February. A majorityvote is needed to pass the question.Bucherati said.Then on the following day. Jan. 31,

students will be able to pick up nominationpapers for the presidential. vice presi-dential. vice presidential and senatorialseats.These nomination papers are due on

Feb. 6 and each candidate must haveobtained 75 signatures to be placed on theballot.The public will have an opportunity to

meet the candidates in the Feb. 12 senatemeeting. Each candidate will speak to themembers of the senate, Bucherati said.

Bucherati, who has about a month left toserve in his term said he hoped to bring thesenate as close to the public as possible.He has tried throughout his term to getstudents to be less apathetic when it cameto turning out for student elections.

The first senate meeting will be held onJan. 29 in Stewart Commons. Bucheratisaid. He also hopes to hold one meeting inthe Damn Yankee, which Bucherati said.was centrally located and thus would makeit easy for the public to attend.

Bucherati said he hoped to accomplish asmuch as possible in his last month to setthe next administration off on the rightfoot."I Vk ant to lay the most groundwork I can

in the time remaining." he said.One of the projects Bucherati feels he

and student government President DickHewes sill be able to accomplish is theestablishment of a Dental facility in thebasement of the Health Center.

Bucherati said the service would befunded by part of the student health feeand would cover the cost of cleaning andcavity detection."There wouldn't be any drilling at first.

They'd lust be able to tell you if you hadany problems (developing)." Bucheratisaid.

Bucherati believes there is a strongpossibility the facility could be in operationby next fall.

by Susan DayStaff writer

Eves-Thomas is not a comedy team fromvaudeville, nor a famous double-play fromthe 1937 World Series. Eves-Thomas is the22-year-old woman who draws many of thecartoons for the Maine Campus.The name Eves-Thomas first appeared

in these pages on Sept. 4, 1979, with thesemester's first newspaper. A job thatbegan with an illustrated graph of a manstruggling up the steep hill of UMO tuitioncosts has worked its way into an average ofabout nine or ten pieces of art per week.Eves-Thomas was originally Cindy Eves

until she married one Robert M. Thomas inJanuary of 1979. She opted for thehyphenated version of the last name forprofessional rather than feministic rea-sons.

Eves-Thomas came into the job of papercartoonist when her sister Tammy Eves.then a managing editor of the paper, toldher of an opening on the graphics staff. Shesubmitted some of her work to then editorDan Warren, and the job began in ernest.

- ' -Eves-Thomas' sounds so much betterthan just 'Cindy Thomas' or 'Cindy Eves'on the bottom of a painting," she said.smiling. "It was such a windfall to be ableto add another name on the end."Eves-Thomas received her formal train-

ing in art at UMO. graduating last May.The majority of her work was in thegraphics area, though a dramatic render-ing in her apartment of a violinistpracticing testifies to her experience inpaint.

Apart from the academic as,;‘ 's of theart. Eves-Thomas has been penning "fromabout the time I was 13 or so I ww d:a%ingpretty seriously. I drew people mostlyprotraist of famous people a lot."In junior high I did some drawings fcr

the newspaper—things like Christmastrees at Christmas time and Snoopy s ondog houses." she said.When she began drawing the editorial

cartoons, those on page four. "they tookme about two hours. Now I can usually doone in about half that time," she said.How does she start the process of filling

in a five-inch by seven-inch space to showan opinion or a viewpoint? Armed with asketch pad. bottle of black ink, bottle oferadicator fluid (to cover up extra lines), aset of nibs and holders and one of thoseerasers that has the consistency ofSilly-Puddy, she outlines in pencil the sizeof the cartoon. The basic plan of the pieceis also sketched on in pencil, erased andchanged as she sees fit."First." Eves-Thomas said, "I have to

decide what to put in that little five-by-se-ven box. I usually read the editorials andthink about them for a while. Sometimesthey aren't anything you can do a cartoonof, then I do a national (issue-based) one."She prefers doing the cartoons with a

national basis, she said. "because thefigures are so much better known.Everyone knows what Kennedy looks likeand what Carter looks like, almost no oneon campus could identify (board of trusteesChairman Francis) Brown or even (actingPresident) Ken Allen." Eves-Thomas

pointed to the editorial cartoon in today'spaper as an example of this.Eves-Thomas believes her graphic work

has improved more in the five months ofcartooning than her ideas for the drawings."In the beginning I used a lot of the

plastic (a layer of acetate, trimmed to sizeand added to the drawing to uniformlydarken the area), but now I use moredetails. I work more on having points ofemphasis in the compostion now instead ofhollow spaces.

While some of the editorial content ofthe Campus came under fire last semester.Eves-Thomas' cartoons did not escape thewrath of readers.A cartoon she did about the killing of

fraternity brothers by some animalsbrought the comment of "asinine" by amember of a fraternity. Eves-Thomas saidshe liked the idea of that particular cartoonwell, but regrets having so little time to dothe actual execution.One of Eves-Thomas' favorite Campus

illustration appeared on Nov. 12, 1979,picturing an American and an Iranian flagbeing burned by members of the oppositefactions. The idea of the drawing.Eves-Thomas said, appeared in the work ofan award-winning local cartoonist soonafter the initial publication.The characterist features of the Eves-

Thomas cartoon have changed as her style

Eres-Thomas hl-

Eres-Thornas

has evolved. Initially the noses wereover-exaggerated ("I didn't know what todo to make them look like cartoons in thebeginning." she said. "so I made thenoses big.") and the feet over-sized.Now, the noses are more average-shap-

ed, and the feet remain the same—mostyyomen in clogs, most men in sneakers."It's pretyy hard to put high heels on bigfeet," she laughed. quickly trying to sketchthe picture in question. She was right, theend result was pretty funny.

But then, a lot of her end results arepretty funny. That's the point, sometimes.

This drawing, one of Eves-Thomas' favorites, was published at the beginningof the Iranian crisis.

Olympians as pawns

You can almost picture Johnny Carsonstrolling out to do his monologue. He'dadjust his tie and then open with a linelike, "Hey, what do you folks think? Whydon't we send our athletes to Moscow, letthem bring home the gold and then sell itfor $840 an ounce.

It would be Carson's attempt to inject alittle levity into what is becoming a veryvolatile world problem—the question ofparticipating in the 1980 SummerOlympics in Moscow.

But it's an area of very little levity. Boththe athletes, who have trained long,grueling years for that once-in-a-lifetimeshot at the class of world competition andthe rest of the world have been watchingthe United States for the cue of what to do.

It came Sunday when President Carterannounced on national television thatunless the Soviet Union withdrew itsmilitary forces from Afghanistan, hewould strongly recommend the site of thegames be switched to another country, or,a boycott of the games by the world'sathletes.

Carter was quick to say he did not wantto "inject" politics into the Olympics

Maine Campus • Wednesday, Jan. 23, 1980

American athletes and Olympic officialswere sharply divided in their opinions ofPresident Carter's decision. The loudestreaction was heard from IOC PresidentLord Killanin who called Carter's decision"hasty" and "disast,erous" to the causeof the sport.

As IOC President it will be Killanin'sfinal word as to whether or not there willbe Americans represented in the SummerOlympic games in Moscow.

Killanin had already said that movingthe games from Moscow would be "bothlegally and technically impossible."

Having the games without the UnitedStates would, in fact, be no victory at all.

Whatever Killanin's decision may be,American athletes as well as worldathletes ought to be taken out of the chessgame of world affairs and allowed toparticipate in a world class competitionagainst the best from every country andnot be caught in a political stalemate.Especially after all that goes into makingan Olympic hopeful.

Same time,next year

I'm sick of it.Ever since Dec. 15, everyone and his

brother (and mother, too) have beentalking about THE seventies.You remember the seventies—how could

you forget? Each day two weeks prior toand following Jan. I. TV. radio, news•papers and magazines reminisced aboutthe tragic Vietnam War, the grooy%anti-war protests. the dishonest Watergateincident, the wacky new drugs. the cheap(yet inexpensive) Proposition 13, thedisastrous disaster movies, the unegulaedERA, the unknown Peanut President, andthe decadent disco.The end-of-the-year media wrap-up was

more sickening this year. though. Becauseof wrapping-up one year. the media wentnuts and wrapped-up what they thoughtwas a decade.Being a part of this oft-criticized Fourth

Estate. I find it traiterous to criticize. But.a "I love you, but get outa here" (as BillMurray would say) must be extended to themedia when it comes to decade wrap-ups.You see, the media have confused a

decade with the seventies.The seventies are over. The decade is

not.This decade, in fact, does not end until

Dec. 31, 1980.For many people (including media

people) this simple fact is terribly difficultto comprehend.

'The seventiesare over. Thedecade is not.'

To explain the "decade theory" I startwith Year One. (after all, the yen; first yearwas not labeled Year Zero). Year Oneended Dec. 31 of Year One. The firstdecade (or 10 years), then. ended Dec. 31of Year Ten.

It logically follows Dec. 31 of Year 1980is the end of this decade.

This small point proves to be a smallpoint. Who cares whether the decade endstoday, tomorrow or Dec. 31 or this year?The big problem comes if and when a TV

or radio news producer. or magazine ornewspaper editor realizes the new decadeactually doesn't begin until next Jan. I,

At that time, we shall all be inundatedwith a decade wrap-up. . .again.

Animals are helplessTo the Editor:

Peter Hoefele's letter, printed in theDec. 10 edition of the Campus, prom-pted me to write. In my opinion, Mr.Hoefele has a severely exaggeratedview of the ability of an animal toescape a hunter, and of the amount ofskill a hunter must possess to kill one.

It seems to me there are manyanimals who are helpless against aman, armed or not: turtles, ants andsnails are just a few. Now I knowyou're probably thinking, "Don't beridiculous! We're talking about bearsand deer, not snails and turtles!""Well. isn't it slightly ridiculous tostate that there are no defenselessanimals on Earth? If the dodo and the

Thanks so much for yourrecent and timely gift to Oxfam'sCambodian relief efforts. Yourdollars are becoming rice,medicine, wheat. We are packingsupplies on barges in Singaporeand sailing them across the SouthChina Sea to Kompong Som orup the Mekong River to PhnomPenh.Because of your support,

more remains to be done in thistragic country. And we areworking against time.

Anthony Lewis of The NewYork Times wrote the other day':"What we can do, and must, ishelp the Cambodians survive."Guy Stringer, an Oxfam man inPhnom Penh, estimates that ifthe world promises are kept, "Agood proportion of the peoplewill be just about alive by April,when the next harvest is due."

Again, our deep, deep thanksfor what you've done. We mustnot let this gentle people die.

passenger pigeon had had defenses,they would still be present in thisworld. Why are whales and seals ontheir way to extinction, if they aren'tdefenseless?

While it is true that deer and otheranimals have adapted their senses tohelp them evade hunters, the huntershaven't exactly stuck to their basicclub. Man has studied the habits andlifestyles of most game, and devisedmethods of killing them which take ad-vantage of these traits. A few of theprocedures used on deer (which requireimmense quantities of skill on the partof the hunter) are: The Drive, in whichfive or six men form a line and sweepthrough an area, crashing through theunderbrush and making a helluvaracket, herding all the deer in the areatowards one or two men sitting quietlyin previously well-picked positions.Buck Lure, which has an odor like

that of a doe in heat, when liberallyapplied, effectively hides the scent otthe hunter, so that all the male deersmells is female deer. The horny youngstag bursts into a clearing expecting tofind Brigitte Bardoe, but all he finds isPete Hoefele peering at him throughthe telescopic sights of his .30-06. Forweapons, the club has been replaced bythe high-powered, extremely accuratchunting rifle.

As for the "homefield advantage,"deer do not remain in one areathroughout their lives, but migratefrom place to place in search of food,especially in fall and winter (huntingseason), when plant growth, andtherefore food renewal, slows.

Hunting is not a massacre, butneither is it a sport. The fact thatwildlife cannot use reason and logic tooutwit their opponent makes this pain-fully obvious. Don't get me wrong, Iam in favor of hunting, within limits,but I also believe that hunters shouldbe honest with themselves and otherswhen they speak about how much skillit takes, and how much of hunting isjust having the right equipment.

Perhaps if men went back to huntingwith a bow and stealth as his onlyweapons, or if a way could be found togive the animals a was' to shoot back,then hunting could be called a sport,and a contest of skill. But until then,it's just a bunch of guys usingtechnology to annihilate defenselessanimals.

Gays must organizeGay people must organize

because many people workingtogether constructively can cer-tainly accomplish more than afew organized individuals. If gaypeople work together greatstrides would be made in thestruggle for equality.

I say "great strides," butnothing happens overnight. Ifgay people actively campaign forhuman rights, the struggle won'ttake as long.

There are several politicianscurrently in office with pro-gayviews. There are more politicianswho are anti-gay. The acceptedfigure for the gay population is10 percent. If every gay personvoted against anti-gay represen-tatives by voting for all pro-gayofficials, the gay vote could verywell sway the election.There exists an organization of

lobbyists in Washington whosemain purpose is active lobbyingfor gay rights. The group is calledthe Gay Rights National Lobby(GRNL). GRNL sends mailingsthroughout the country askinglot support for pro-gaylegislation when those bills arebeing heard in Congress. TheGRNL needs mail from every gayperson in Maine.

There are several issues anacontroversies gay people can getinvolved in. The ongoing battlebetween women and the MormonChurch is a good example. Thewomen picketing the church inBangor have received local mediacoverage. Gay people shouldhave been there. We weren't.

Locally, there are many ac-tivities gay people can undertaketo lessen the need for a struggle.Spruce Run in Bangor serveswomen. Aren't gay people stillwomen? Shouldn't gay womenand men help out at Spruce Run?You can. BMHI's inmates in-clude ray people. Shouldn't theybe visited by their gay sisters andbrothers?Gays have been put down too

Carter dumps Kenneth. Bush edges Reagen

Something happened yesterday inIowa that's happened only oncebefore—a Kennedy lost a campaigncontest. Sen. Edward Kennedy came insecond to President Carter in the Iowacaucuses, by a margin which causedKennedy to concede victory to Carter.The only previous loss by a Kennedywas in 1968, when Robert Kennedy wasdefeated in the Oregon primary.

Kennedy had said Carter would need50 percent of the delegates to claim areal victory in Iowa.

Legislators bored,

want week's vacation

AUGUSTA, MAINE—Mainelegislative leaders today suggested theytake a week off because there isn'tenough to keep them busy.

In a six-to-three vote, the LegislativeCouncil recommended that theLegislature adjourn after Friday'ssession until February fourth. Thecouncil's recommendation must be ap-proved by both the House of Represen-tatives and the Senate.

Meetings of the House and theSenate have rarely taken longer than 15minutes a day for the first three weeksof this session, and many lawmakerssay it's a waste of their time. Thesession is limited to 50 legislative days,and the clock keeps running every daythe Legislature meets.The trouble is, many bills are still in

committee, and can't be sent to theLegislature until the committees maketheir recommendations. TheLegislative Council is proposing thecommittees continue to meet duringnext week to speed up the process ofgetting bills to the Legislature for ac-tion.

Republican caucuses have severely den-ted Ronald Reagan's position as thefront-runner.Reagan finished second—with 27

percent—to George Bush's 33 percent.Bush, a former UN Ambassador andC.I.A. chief, built his Iowa campaignon organization at the local level—thesame technique used by Jimmy Carterin Iowa in 1976.

Behind Bush and Reagan in the GOPstraw poll were Howard Baker with 14.percent, John Conally with t-n per-cent, Philip Crane with seven percent,John Anderson with four percent, andBob Dole with three percent. Two per-cent of the delegates were uncommit-ted.

much as 133 dollars an ounce onTuesday.The price of silver also took a

beating closing at 36 dollars an ouncefrom the mid-fourties of last week.

Meanwhile, this activity caused thedollar to strengthen against all majorEuropean currencies.Some gold traders speculated that

people were deciding to take theirprofits right now, causing a temporarydrop in the world-wide price.

Analysts also pointed to PresidentCarter's tough stand on theAfghanistan crisis and the Olympic

boycott issue as reasons for a gold dropin value.

President Carter on Tuesday askedCongress to make its first order ofbusiness in 1980 the passing of aneconomic and military aid package toPakistan to help it defend itself from apos..ible attack from the Soviet Union.Carter did not give a figure, but ad-

Maine Campus ' Wednesday. Jan. 23. 1980 sportsUMO's Dave Myers ready to hit slopes as pro-by Sean Brodrick

Staff writer

Few of us get a chance to realize ourchildhood dreams, but for one UMOstudent, yesterday's dreams are aboutto become today's reality. Nineteenyear old Dave Myers is going tobecome a professional skier this year,Ind he has been looking forward to it,ince he was a kid."I first started skiing up at Squaw

Mountain when I was 10," says Dave,"and I won my first really importantcontest at 14. I used to watch JeanClaude Killy on TVwhen I was a kidand I knew that was what I wanted todo. When I got on the slopes, skiingjust came naturally."

For Myers, a native of Watervilleskiing is no idle pastime. He is theAmerican amateur freestyle championand holds second place in theCanadian-American title. He isgererally acknowledged to be one ofthe top 10 amateur skiers in the coun-try and has high hopes of a goodrookie pro season.As well as being a skier, Dave is also

a full time education major here atUMO. He came to UMO he says, to beclose to his job as assistant coach at theSugarloaf Mountain skiing area andalso because he was recruited as afullback by UMO's soccer team.As was mentioned earlier, Dave is a

freestyle skier. The freestyle consistsof three types of events; ballet skiing,

aerial manuevers, and mogul skiingwhich is a contest of speed and coor-dination. Dave has reached the peak ofhis career as an amateur, since freestyleisn't an Olympic event. The shunningof Olympic freestyle is a big disappoin-tment to him. He would have liked tohave competed against an in-ternational field as an amateur. Nowhe will have a chance for world com-petition as a pro.

"I've got a couple of meets lined upin New England and a few in Canadathis year," Myers comments, "andmese always attract world class skiers.I'm very eager to see how I rate againstthem."

If he has a good rookie year Davecould make close to $25,000 this

The troubled Moscow Olympics updatePresident Carter has picked up some

support for his appeal to keep athletesout of the Moscow Olympics if theRussians don't get out of Afghanistan.Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser ofAustralia called for an effectiveboycott of the Moscow games.

Prim: Minister Margaret Thatcherof Britain told the House of Commonsshe'll ask the British Olympic commit-tee to seek another site for the gamesbeside Moscow.

In Schenectady, New York, theboxing coach of the American Olympicsquad, Pat Nappi, says he wants theUS to compete in the games. He saysit's not fair to the fighters to pull out.

Olympic Basketball Coach DaveGavitt of Providence College says he's -concentrating on tactics for the U.S.Team and leaving the strategy to the

politicians. Gavin says the question ofparticipating in tne Moscow summerGames is up to the U.S. OlympicCommittee and the Government.

At Harvard, Swimming Coach JoeBernal has been telling his Olympicprospects to keep on stroking and lethim do the worrying about Moscow.

Bernal is training 12 Harvad athletesfor the Olympic trials at the Universityof Texas in June and a possible slot onthe 22 member U.S. Swim Team.

Late basket sinks BearsFor the second time this year, Chip

Rucker had a large hand in dealing theUniversity of Maine a crucial ECACNorth defeat as the Northeastern for-ward sunk a basket with 18 secondsremaining to give NU a 72-71 victoryover the Black Bears at the CabotGymnasium in Boston last night.

Maine's Jimmy Mercer managed tosqueeze up three shots before the buz-zer sounded but couldn't hit on any asSkip Chappelle's crew plummetted to a6-9 mark on the season.

The Black Bears maintained varying' leads of five and six through most of

the second half. As the game wounddown to its final minutes the visitorsclutched a 71-70 lead. A key play in thewaning moments occurred when RufusHarris failed to connect on a one andone. Earlier Dave Wyman had come upwith cold hand during a one and onesituation.

Captain Harris had come through onmany other occasions during the gameas he poured in 29 points while con-tinuing his streak of being Maine's

high scorer in every game thus far. TheHuskies' Peter Harris (no relation to

Rufus) hit for 28 points in the "Duel of

the Harrises."

The Black Bears managed to hop in-

to the lead at halftime sporting a 38-36

advantage. The host Huskies led by as

many as eight points in the half before

the Bears, led by the hot hand of Mr.

Covistency, Rufus Harris, began

chopping into the advantage late in the

half. Harris netted 19 first half points.

season. But the benefits don't come

without risks. Two seasons ago a closebuddy of his was .paralyzed as theresult of an accident during an aerialmanuever. This has made Dave morecautious about what kind of stunts heuses, "I do all of my stunts upright, noflips.. Flips are what kill you,"A professional skier is usually "over

the hill" by age 35, Myers notes,because 'your back and knees get shotto hell." Upon retiring from pro com-petition he will probably work forRossignol skis, one of his sponsers."I'm lucky, because I have a chance

to do what I've always wanted to do,"Meyers states, "not everyone has thatchance.

The Chicaeo Tribune took a poll ofpeople in that area about an Olympicboycott. Sixty percent of the peoplepolled expressed support for, staging analternative Olympics in another coun-try at the same time as the games inMoscow.

A lot of rhetoric is flowing about anOlympic boycott, but Coloradobasketball coach Bill Blair has a morepositive suggestion.He says, "We either stop them with

a boycott, or we send Bobby Knightover there and let him whip 'em all."

Knight is the volatile coach of In-diana who was involved in a controver-sy in San Juan last summer and wascharged with assaulting a Puerto Ricancop.

in BostonChamp Godbolt, and Keith Ogden wasa starting nod for freshman Joe John-son. Sophomore Tommy Brown cameoff the bench to chip in with six points.

The reeling Bears will be looking tobattle back to .500 beginning thisweekend when they host Vermont onFriday and Saturday nights in "ThePit."
