CFje l^afapette November 1 6 , 2 0 0 1 Lafayette CoU^e Vol. 128 Number - CollegeNews - Vie WayltShovldBe With game 137 tomorrow, rivalry still strong BY NOAH GOLDSTEIN ff^ I "'he [Lafayette] college team _L played its first game of the season with Lehigh University and had too much of a walkover to make it an interesting match to the spectators," said an 1884 issue of T/ie Lafayette. Lafayette had won the home game 50-0. Although the game was not interesting, a tradition of competition began that is still prevalent and extends far beyond the football contest that many agree is not about to go away anytime soon. Tomorrow, 117 years after playing their first game against each other, Lafayette will play game 137 against Lehigh. Despite losses in recent years, Lafayette is leading in the overall r e c o r d with 71 wins to Lehigh's 60, with five ties. In the past, the Lafayette/Lehigh football g a m e was e m o t i o n a l l y charged, filled with bonfire rituals, the i n f a m o u s d e s e c r a t i o n of the goalposts, and wild tailgate parties. However, things have changed since 1884. The Lafayette/Lehigh rivalry has, in the past, not been confined to the football field. Some of the pranks have proven to be more memorable than the final score. Lehigh is said to be the culprit ofa prank that involved pulling out the Lafayette goalposts and putting them at center field to spell the letters " L U " for Lehigh University in 1968. More recently, it was suspected that Lehigh was responsible for chickens on the Quad in 1999. According to the November 20, 1998 issue of The Lcfcpette, Lafayette students replaced copies ofLehigh's student newspaper, The Brown and White, with fake issues that said Lehigh's president had invited the State Police to all of the fraternity houses to curb underage drinking for the weekend, causing students to protest in front of Lehigh's president's house. Joseph Marhefka '24, a former Lafayette halfback, recalled when games were played on March Field. H e said he remembers crowds of about 6,000, which overflowed the wooden stands. During his tenure at Lafayette, Marhefka said the Leopards won every gzune. Gone are the dangerous and costly attempts to jjemove goalposts, deface college statues, and pre-game raids on the two campuses. Lafayette Director of Alumni Affjiirs John Leone explains this change in social behavior with an analysis of society. Leone said society has become more complex and sophisti- In 1999, chickens were dropped off on the Quad the week before the Lafayette/Lehigh game. cated. The legal drinking age is now 21 and pranks from what he called "the good old days" are not socially acceptable today and are a "huge challenge" to pull off. "We have to balance responsible behavior with a Mardi Gras type of atmosphere," said Leone. Lehigh University Vice Provost for Student Affairs John Smeaton said that about 10 years ago, ajoint task force developed regulations for the game that would shift the focus from dangerous and disorderly behavior to the rivalr)' and the football game it- self As a result, Smeaton said there has been an 80 to 90 percent decrease in conduct incidents at Lehigh. Leone, who has worked at the college since 1980, said there are a few things that instigate the Lafayette/ Lehigh rivalry. Leone said the institutions are similar in academic mission and therefore they attract similar students. For example, both schools have competitive undergraduate engineering programs. Leone also said that the proximity of the two schools creates a backyard "beat the guys down the continued on page 3 Setting the record straight: Assistant dean smdent rights limited at private institutionsof students Tracy Garnick BY MrrcHELL RELD to leave BY NICOLE KOZYRA M any students might be surprised to learn that Lafayette has discretion over their constitutional rights because it is a private institution.

To start, I believe this article n e e d e d to show s o m e a c t u a l statistics, if they exist, a b o u t our c a m p u s ' s behavior in comp a r i s o n to o t h e r i n s t i t u t i o n s .

Specifically, two of our Health C e n t e r staff w e r e q u o t e d in successive p a r a g r a p h s , one saying that the n u m b e r of pregnancies on campus was "average," the other "low." I wonder what basis the Health C e n t e r h a s for s u c h a c o m p a r i s o n , given that as w a s ailso stated, some p r e g n a n t students choose to avoid the health center all together. As the campus poster c a m p a i g n says, "perception is n o t reality," and The Lafayette could have done a better j o b of presenting the reality of r e p r o ductive choice on c a m p u s . O n a different note, I believe that the opiriion stated in this article gives too much credit to the "conservative" environment on this campus.

Sexual acrivity is in no way a t a b o o on our c a m p u s , and as this article states, abortion is the choice of preference. If we were staunch conservatives, would we not be s u p p o r t i v e of a w o m a n w h o choices to carry a pregnancy to term? W h a t conservative views would be at work if a p r e g n a n t w o m a n were to receive a negative response from the campus community? Premarital sex is no shocker to us. Possibly, the campus e n v i r o n m e n t is less conservative than image conscience.

Lafayette College President Arthur Rothkopf said that the college needs to have a process that is fair but that process does not need to maintain all elements of constitutional due process. Lafayette could also institute free speech restrictions, Lennertz said, but it would "be difficult because of their [Lafayette's] mission." Lennertz said that the college would be concerned with the practical consequences of limiting speech. According to Rothkopf, the University of Pennsylvania once tried such speech restrictions and experienced serious problems. According to Lennertz, a student cannot challenge the college in court on the basis of an amendment in the Bill of Rights, as the college has discretion in interpreting these amendments. If a student felt that their constitutional rights were violated, they would have to challenge the institution based on a violation of a Congressional law. Congressional laws are laws passed by the state of Pennsylvania or Congress and their interpretation by a private institution may be contested in court. A court does not regularly accept college cases, said Lennertz. "Colleges are complicated organizations. What they [colleges] do is isolated from the outside world," he said. According to Lennertz, thejudges do not decide many college cases for two reasons. First, they are reluctant to determine what is wrong because the college is a complicated organization. Second, colleges are "set aside" from society to do as they wish. However, there are limitations on the discretion given to private institutions and corporations. In determining the limitations of student rights, Lennertz said that age is a consideration. He said that the courts consider "vulnerability and sensitivity that could occur." A court may give a different opinion on a court case if it occurred in high school as opposed to in college because of the difference in maturity. In the Bethel School Distric v. Frasier case, a high school student was suspended for giving a speech that contained sexual metaphors. The suspension was upheld in federal district court. Lennertz stated that the student could have won if he was in a college setting because of the difference in maturity level of a high school freshman as compared to a college freshman. There are three sources of obligation that colleges base the rights they give to students, according to Lennertz. The first type is positive or legislative law, which is defined as "an enactment that is passed by legislature," according to Lennertz. An example is Title Nine, which requires "gender equality for schools receiving federal funding," said Assistant Professor of Government and Law Alexandra Cooper. The second source is contractual law, which is a promise by a college to treat students fairly. For example, Lennertz said that if a student pays $32,000 to a college, the college promises to give them an education. Finally, the third source says that an educational institution respects a student's privacy and autonomy. According to Lennertz, this is not a legal obligation, like the first two types, but a moral and ethical obligation for the college. According to Lennertz, the college enforces these types of obligations even if they are not fond of it. H e added that Lafayette might feel committed to the free exchange of ideas. Lennertz said he feels that the word "rights" has been watered down to "I want,'' explaining that society uses the word "right" to strengthen an argument. "It's now a euphemism for 'give me,'" said Lennertz. Vice President for Human Resources and General Counsel Leslie Muhlfelder would not comment on the issue of student rights on the record. According to the Student Handbook, Lafayette gives students many rights that are granted by the constitution including freedom of inquiry, freedom of expression, and freedom to organize and join associations to promote common interests. Lafayette/Lehigh pranks becoming less prevalent continued from page 1 street" competition-like atmosphere that every year, after another game is played, becomes more intense, more of a rivalry. Leone summarized the Lafayette/Lehigh rivalry as encompassing two parties, similar in many ways, but with the same goal that cannot be shared: a football victory. "Playing LiChigh is a whole different level of intensity," said Lafayette Athletic Director Bruce McCutcheon. "That kind of intense feeling doesn't end with football," he said, adding that the rivalry is intense in basketball, swimming, land ti'ack'and field, along with other ' garne related activities. "If you play long enough, you are going to have your share of classic contests," said Leone. "Over time, the more you are involved with the event, the more you appreciate the tradition and the rivjilry," he said. .According to Leone, Lafayette and Lehigh alumni will gather in 47 locations around the country to watch the football game Saturday. Director of Public Safety Hugh Harris said extra staff would be on hand at Lafayette this weekend as a precautionary measure. Harris said rampant vandalism has not occurred in a number of years, so statues are no longer cordoned off like they used to be and there is not as much of a concem that property will be vandalized.

(AP) An assistant professor at Oregon Health & Science University was ordered off a plane Sunday because another passenger thought he was acting strange. T h a n o s Tzounopoulos, headed to a neuroscience meeting, was in his seat awaiting takeoff when an Alaska Airlines employee boarded and asked him to leave. T h e former Fulbright scholar, who is originally from Greece, was told to collect his things. As other passengers watched, he got his carry-on bag and the research he was to deliver on the molecular mechanisms of memory and left the plane. Nationwide, more than 20 passengers have been removed from flights or stopped from boarding because of complaints from other passengers a b o u t their a p p e a r ances or behavior. O n Sunday, according to a report prepared by an Alaska Airlines supervisor, Tzounopoulos was removed from the flight after an u n n a m e d passenger told a flight attendant that the 32-yearold r e s e a r c h e r was " a c t i n g strange" and the flight attendant observed that he appeared "very nervous" a n d "seemed uncomfortable." Tzounopoulos, a permanent U.S. resident, said he was reading complex information and might h a v e s t a r e d i n t o s p a c e as he thought about it. The pilot, whom Alaska Airlines did not n a m e , ordered him to go through additional security before being allowed to b o a r d another p l a n e . By then, Tzounopolous would have missed his p l a n n i n g meeting with colleagues. Instead of catching a n o t h e r flight, he left after a brief a r g u m e n t with the airline supervisor. N o one questioned him, e x a m i n e d his bag, called airport police or otherwise detained him. "We have to protect o u r citizens by thinking a n d not reacting to fear or panic," T z o u n o p o u l o s said.

BYJ O E B E N T E Y A That's What You Freshmen plan guarding of campus; Class fears raids by Lehigh students; THE GAME t o b e p l a y e d t o m o r r o w reptlnted fmm November 20, 1964 issue BV K E N N E T H L E V I N E T he Lehigh game is drawing neai; and freshmen spirits are ninning liigh. The announcement by David M. I iOckett. assistant dean for student activities, that it would be unnecessary for the fi-eshmen to guard the campus against jx)tential raids by Lehigh students almost led to a riot Monday. IxK-:kett's announcement did lead to a class demonstration, a meeting l^etvveen Lockett and representatives of the class, and the eventual organization of the class for the purpose of guarding the campus. These actions ofthe past few weeks ailminated vvith the repulsion of at least one Ixhigh raiding group late luesday night. Both the president and the vice president of tlie class commented favorably on the final results. T h e announcement by Dean Iux:kett brought little reaction at the time that it was made save for a lew mouth-to-mouth gripes by some freshmen. But when the frosh woke up ^'fc«lday moming andsawthc hallowed Leopard guarding the football field covered with brown paint, tlie protests began to mount Lehigh Painters According to a policeman hired by Dean Lockett to guard the campus, the painters must have done their job around 6 p.m. Sunday night They mentioned thai they were on duty until 5:30 p.m. and had checked the statue just before leaving The artistic destroyers had painted " L e h i ^ " on the side of the statue in their school colors. The reaction by the frosh was immediate. Sgns were posted in the fi'eshman dormitories urging all to ccane to a "meeting" Monday night. At dinner. Dcming Cowies, '68, newly-elected president of the class, improvised by using a chair as a platform and proceeded to lead a discussion on possible courses of action. Although the majority wanted to march on Dean Lockett's house, it was decided to meet in ft-ont of Easton Hall at 11 p.m. and start an on-campus demonstraticMi. At the meeting, attended by about 250 fitish, Cowles climbed onto a second story platform and, with a huge megaphone, told the dass that a demonstration was forthcoming. Again, many shouted that they wanted to go to tlie dean's house, but Cowles, led by the fi-eshman football team kept them on campus. The demonstratoi's marched fipom the Delta Kappa Epsilon house to Watson Hall with anti-Lehigh, antiLockett and pro-frosh cheers. The group then chai^;ed on to the leopan.1 where the president spoke again. (Climbing on the^eopard's back, Cov\4es ux^jed "on to Gates." As the marchers reached Gates, the gioup had swelled to neariy 300, accompanied by about 100 heckling upperclassmen. At this time a group of about 50 freshmen chained for tlie gate between Gates Hall and McKeen Dormitory in hopes of getting off campus. This was the same group that had wanted to demonstrate at Dean Lockett's house, and they rushed the gate witlT cries, "On to Lockett" The fiieshman football team rushed to the gate before thefixwhwho wanted to leave got there. Joining hands, they blocked the charge ofthe freshrtien and successfiilly held them back. At this point, Cowies mounted a garbage receptacle in the middle ofthe group and urged a retreat. When thefix>shcharged again, Cowles hit one over the head wi^i his megaphone. Somefi-eshmenmanaged to get past the football team, but most were imsuccessfijl. With the urgbtigs of C>>wles and thefi*eshmenwho didn't want to (feraonstrate at the (tean's house, the charge against the gate was stopped. With the splitting ofthe class into two factions, the demonstrators be^an to break up, promising to guard the campus Tuesday night. Tuesday afternoon the fi*eshman president, vice president and others met with Dean Lockett to see if they could obtain pennission to guard. Lockett. after saying thatfteshmenhad never specifically been forbidden to guard, aiTanged a guarding schedule to take effect Tuesday night. Tlie arrangements called for guarding six specific points on the campus until Friday n i ^ t . ITiese areas were tlie statue near Gates, the leopard by Alumni Memorial Gymnasium, the library, the chapel, the freshman area, and the Civil War statue on tlie hill leading to Easton Hall. Originally plans did not Ciill for guarding the campus past three a.m., but a wave of enthusiasm brought volunteers to guard past that hour. Nearly all fix)sh showed up for assi^iments. During the early watch a cr pulled up in the South College parking lot and was immediately surrounded by about 20 frosh. An identification caid was produced by the driver but a few suspicious frosh remained around the car until it lefi. In another incident, the group guarding the leopard and Fisher Field chased away vshat appeared to them to be a raiding party Also on Wednesday, a letter was receivedfiromLehigh expx^ssing regrets for the painting of the Leopard. The letter was signed by Stephen F. Goldman, president of the class of 1966 at Lehigh. (See page 2 for the text of the letter.) Bodi cowls and Barry Fulks, vice president of the class, expressed their pleasure at the successful negotiations with Dean Lockett. "The Dean has been very cooperative with the fireshmen in respect to guarding the campus," Fulks said.

The flounder, unfortunately, was no better. Not only was it undercooked, the filet was far from fresh and its aftertaste rendered it unpalatable. It should be noted that they took the flounder back and did not charge for us for it. I did appreciate the establishment's attitude, being very polite about the matter. On a lighter note, the vegetables and baked potatoes were well worth the while, but hardly made up for the unimpressive main courses. Dessert was an entirely different story. Our server presented us with a tray consisting of a dozen or so dessert selections. We ordered a cheesecake topped with pecans and chocolate and a homemade pie, filled with fresh cranberries and nuts. We both enjoyed dessert thoroughly; the cheesecake and pie both being fresh and bursting with flavor. Overall, The Sage Inn makes a decent attempt at being a fine restaurant, but at best achieves the standing of a fancy diner.

Larry Miller's exhibit, Either/Or, explores these two different models of the universe. Miller wants to get rid ofthe need for specific meaning. He says art should allow one to experience things in their mind while at the same time make one really use their mind. He believes that art is a sensory experience, and that once one is able to use his oi- her senses the person is free to experience things beyond the traditional boundaries. "Conceptual art does for the mind what Cubism did for the eye," said Miller. According to Miller, the functions of art must be interpreted and exf>erienced in different ways. He feels one must take art into ones life in a sensitive manner. He says that people must be aware of the everyday beauty around them. Miller's work follows the Fluxus movement of the 1960's, which incorporates Zen notions. Miller considers his work a display of the use of many mediums combined together. "'Artists throughout human history provide a hardcopy printout of the human mind," said Miller. He believes that as an artist he is related to the cave painters, the Egyptians, and primitive tribes. As an artist of the 21" century, the materials available to him today are different than those available to artists in the past. Still, Miller's interests are the same as ancestoral artists in PHoros BV ADAM BL'tiHw.ALrtH Pictured above is "Genomic License No. 7," an example of how Larry Miller uses science in his work. Miller also uses religious symbolism in his work as seen in the picture at right. terms of experiences such as food, shelter, clothing and basic human interests. Miller creates ambiguous pieces because he wants people to rethink what they are familiar with atnd what they already know. One of Miller's pieces that centers on religion is a piece that requires the viewer to kneel down on a pulpit. Touch one side of the piece and nothing happens, but if both sides ofthe piece are touched causing their arms to be outstretched to both sides of their body, a cross lights up. This forces the viewer to take the position of sacrifice. Many of Miller's pieces are involved with the idea of DNA. To Miller it is clear that we do not own our DNA. His idea was to copyright DNA, which he claims is a serious question and highly unlikely to ever happen. Even .so, he ffxuseshis work on examining the ideas of owning DNA, who we are, and what we are. Additionally, Miller questions the idea of immortality. He contrasts the ideas of how a human can contine living, by combining science and religious ideas of immortality Another piece, "Genomic License No. 6," uses both religion and science. This is of Miller's hands modeled to replicate a piece done by Rodin. T h e hands contain pieces of Miller's actual fingernails, which provide a sample of DNA. T h e hands are pressed palms together, in the traditional prayer position. An interesting piece, "Genomic License No. 7," is one where Miller has two pictures on a canvas. One is of a male, and the other is of a female. There is a vv^hite space in place of the facial features of the female. This piece explores the idea of switching male and female DNA. Miller will examine other issues in his FluxConcert on November 16. In his concert, the audience is not restricted to usingjust to using a single sense.

November 16, 2001 2Ii|e iOa^tf^tte: Sports Page 9 Leopards to take on archrival Mountain Hazvks tomorrotv continued from page 12 down. Overall. Lehigh's rushing attack is not one of the best in the Patriot League, as they have yet to really find a horse to carry the ball 20+ times a game since they lost Ron Jean to graduation two years ago. The Mountain Hawks have used a variety of backs to pick up the slack with sophomore Jermaine Pugh getting most of the v/ork with 91 carries for 406 yards and two touchdowns. Lehigh sophomore running back David Wilson has also seen some time this year and has fared better averaging 4.6 per carry. Together, they have averaged 92 yards per game although Wilson has played in just five games. W^ilson got the bulk ofthe work last season and he carried the ball 15 times for 83 yards against Lafayette. Lafayette has struggled against the run this season, but completely shut down any rush attack of Georgetown's as their top two runners totalled just 29 yards on 16 carries. Overall, the Hoyas mustered just 24 yards on 25 carries on the day. Sophomore Theo Moss, who has broken out this year with 36 tackles and eight sacks, anchors the Lehigh defensive line. T h e linebacker core is solid, just as it has been in past years, and is led by Tom McGeoy '04, Mike Taggart '04, and Morris Taylor '02. That trio has combined to make 98 tackles and three sacks this season. McGeoy was a force to be reckoned with against Bucknell as he had 11 tackles and.an interception returned for a touchdown. His efforts earned him Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week Honors. However, it is the secondary that makes the Lehigh defense as strong as it is. Matt Salvaterra '03 is back again after a huge game against Lafayette last year and has had another solid season. H e is second on the team with 48 tackles and leads the team with six broken up passes. Both he and defensive back Abdul Byron '02 love to hit. Byron leads the team with 58 tackles. It will be up to these two players to not let sophomore quarterback Marko Glavic have a strong day and stop Leopard freshman running back JoeMcCourt from a huge run. Leopard John Weyrauch '04 should draw considerable attention and, despite nagging injuries, wide receiver Andrew May '02 is listed as probable for the game. Tight end Stewart Kupfer '02 has had another solid season as he is second on the team in receptions and is dangerous in the red zone. Overall, shutting down the run and keeping Hall in check will be a key for the Leopards. If the defense can do that, the offense should be able to put some points on the board as they have done all season. A mistake-free game could be enough for Lafayette to get their first win against Lehigh since 1994. Game time is set for 12:37pm at Goodman Stadium. Lafayette leads in the all-time series 71-60-5.

As the starting goalie of tlie women's soccer team her freshman year, Wesmiller started every game for the Leopai'ds. Tliis year was a little different having more than one goalie on the squad. '1 wasn't sure what my role was going to be on the team this year because I went ijbroad in the spring last year, but I trained hard all summer and came back and me and our other goalie split most of the games," said Wesmiller. Wesmiller spent most of the season splitting time in goal wdth sophomore Marissa Mullins, but led the Leopards in their final regular season game against Holy Cross in which the team clinched a toumament bertli and the tournament semifinal against Navy. Wesmiller was named the 2000 Patriot League Scholar Athlete of the Year for excellence in botli the classroom and on the field. lliese accolades did not make it hard for Head Coach Wayne Miller to decide that Wesmiller would be a prime candidate for one of the captains of the 2001 soccer team. "She relates very well to her teammates and she's a very hiuxl worker. It's like having a coach on the field." said Miller. Out iOW PHlCtt Wiii calch you.' t-ye WE COME TO YOU! fwntvn itAVf cmm iMMiNraowii Pfinlttf I j;ff5i!ii^iW?si$iiij^ni5i^ The soccer team had a successful season closing it out with a record of 11-8, along with the appearance in the Patriot League Tournament. Wesmiller's strong play at goal had a lot to do with the success ofthe team this year. "We were really excited coming into the season. Although the numbers are the same as last year, this year we won four league games, which put us into the toumament which was the goal for the season," said Wesmiller. In the first round of the Patriot League Tournament, the Leopards faced a tough Navy squad, which they lost to 1-0 in overtime. 'Although we lost to Navy, Ashley came up very big in the game. She stayed calm and Relaxed," said Miller. Wesmiller came up big in several other games this season including conference wins against Lehigh and Holy Cross. "'There were so many great moments this year. I think for me personally, it was beating Lehigh because my best friend plays for the team and we lost to them twite last year in overtime. Beating Holy Cross was also exciting because it was the last game of the season to put us into the tournament," said Wesmiller. As for next season, Wesmiller's senior year. Miller has high ex|X'ctations. "Our goal fbr next season is to win the championship and .Ashley's senior leadership will help a lot." stated Miller.

"Myjcd), as a captain, is to make sure everyone knows the meaning of team." The squad opens tlieir season this Saturday in a preseason matchup against Sacred Heart. Scared Heart is a strong team, picked to come in second in the Northeast Conference. "Wc are looking to play an up-tempo ball game, push the ball dowm the court, and pick up the intensity on the defensive side," notes Smith. "'Diese [women] have great attitudes, great work ethic, and they want to win. As a first year coach, I can't ask for anything more." F riday night's 1-1 draw with archrival Lehigh was a microcosm ofthe Lafayette Men's Soccer Team's season. While the Leopards jumped out to a quick start and batded throughout, they just could not muster the necessary offensive potency to register a victory. It was obvious that Lafayette had been waiting for this game for a long time. The painful memories of last year's Patriot League final, in which Lehigh tied the game with less than ten seconds remaining in regulation and then went on the win in overtime, were still fresh in the minds of t\t Leopards. And although Friday night's game had no league implications, (Lafayette had already For the rest of the contest, both teams battled, but neither could register another goal. Regulation came to a close with the score locked at one, and overtime ended in similar fashion. After 120 minutes of play, the game finally ended in a 1-1 tie. The tie moved the Leopards overall record to 8-4-5 and 1-3-3 in Patriot League action. But more importantly, it marked the final game in Lafayette's 2001 campaign, a season that started off strong, but ended in disappointment. After beginning the year losing only one of their first seven games, it appeared that the Leopards were in for another successful season. With an impressive 5-1-1 record, Lafayette entered league play brimming with confidence and peaking at the right time. "Every game and every practice, we worked hard and battled." "Head Coach Dennis Bohn lieen mathematically eliminated from the Patriot League Tournament), there was so much to play for. After all, it was Lehigh. From the opening whistle, the Leopards gained the upper hand. They dictated play for most of the half and created several decent scoring opportunities in the process. 1 heir hard work and intensity finally paid off in the 3P' minute when senior co-captain Keith Evans crossed a service from the left wing onto the head of sophomore forward Marco Lukin, who directed it into the back ofthe net. The goal was Lukin's first of the year and gave the Leopards the 1-0 advantage. However, Lafayette's lead was short-lived. No more than eleven minutes later, the Mountain Hawks struck back with a goal of their own, when senior co-captain Colin Marshall capitalized on a direct kick from the top ofthe box for the equal- I'm Joan. Come get lo know adventurous md talented cellist loan JeanreRaud at the Wiliiams Center this weekend. However, from that point on. the Leopards registered a mere three wins in ten games. More importantly, only one of the wins came in conference play. A severe lack of offense proved.the biggest problem for Lafayette, who managed only four goals total in seven Patriot League games. Even with the solid defensive play of the Leopards, it is extremely difficult to win games without scoring on offense. And that is exactly what the Leopards discovered. Although the Leopards failed to make the Patriot League Tournament this season. Head Coach Dennis Bohn said the amoimt of effort the team put forth should not be ignored. Much of this increased effort can be attributed to Bohn, who now has a full seaison of collegiate head coaching under his belt. When asked what he was most happy with for this season, Bohn pointed to the effort level without hesitation, "Every game and every practice, we worked hard and battled." When asked what he will miss most about this 2001 squad, Bohn said, "The dedication and passion ofthis team I will always remember." And in regards to the scoring inefficiency.

It will be the 137'^ meeting between the two teams in the longest enduring college football rivalry.

"This seaison was a rebuilding year," said Lafayette freshman Hannah Briggs. " O u r team is still developing and learning to play together.

T h e Gaels boosted their record to 12-13 as they beat the Leopards in straight games, 30-20, 30-26, and 31-29. Sophomore Caroline Eshman led the Lafayette offense with ten kills. On defense, junior Sarah Deitsch picked up eleven digs. Each game was progressively more competitive, but in the end the Leopards were still unable to secure a win. O n Saturday night, Lafayette traveled to Patriot League rival Lehigh for the Leopards' season closer. Lafayette was hoping to avenge its 3-0 loss to the Mountain Hawks earlier in the season, but history repeated itself. Despite some positive moments for the L e o p a r d s t h r o u g h o u t the match, Lehigh was too overpowering a n d improved its record to 11-3 in Patriot League play by winning in straight games, 30-18, 30-17, and 30-24. " T h e r e were a few rallies [during the Lehigh match] that went on for a great length of time," said Briggs. " O u r team fought through and came out wath the victory over many of those points, which showed the level that we are able to play at when putting everything together," she said. Lafayette freshman Kate Walkenhorst led the Leopard offense with eight kills, and freshman Heidi Olichwier had nineteen assists. Defensively, freshmen Erin Brune a n d Lori D e V i t o each notched ten digs. Lafayette will hope for better results next season, and have the benefit of youth behind them. Eight players return next year, including six freshmen. The experience that these young players bring to the next year might be invaluable. "Our team has an incredible amount of talent and hardworking players," Briggs added. "It isjust a matter of putting it all together. I really believe next year our team wall be a competitive force in the Patriot League," she said.

"It's hard to say whether or not that was a scoring chance, but the official obviously must have seen something." Just like that, Lafayette's upset bid was squelched. For a team to be awarded a penalty kick the call must come from inside the 18-yard box. The officials often give the defensive team the benefit ofthe doubt, considering a ball near the edge of the box outside of offensive shooting range, and not awarding a penalty kick. In this instance, the call fell in Navy's favor. "It was a heartbreaking game, just a tough loss," said Miller. "We worked hard all year, our goal was to make it into this tournament." "I still think this was a great experience for our team, and it prepares us for next year," he added.
