Thick fog shrouded the campus early last week, but then the sunstarted to break through, casting bars of light around the trees nearthe Palm Bosque. And then three students stepped into the light, as ifon cue, so that the lucky photographer could record their passage.

Ohlone College Trustees Wednesday night approved plans toupgrade the Fremont campus with some of the money from the$1.5 million bond approved by voters three years ago.

The vote was seven in favor, with board President John Weedabstaining.

Over the past two years, the master plan for the redevelop-ment of the Fremont campus, has been slightly changed by theBoard of Trustees. Although many proposals were considered,the master plan was voted on and approved, though it is not setin stone. That leaves room for improvement, for the smoothingout of future challenges.

One of the major improvements discussed was the moving of600 parking spots from the lower lots to be closer to the centerof campus, near Building One.

Also proposed was a plan to improve the front side of thecampus, the west side along Mission Boulevard, to make it lookmore like an entrance to a campus, rather than a turnout fromMission. That way, a first-time student who was looking for thecampus would have an easier time locating it.

“One World, a Tsunami benefitshow” was held Wednesday nightat Ohlone in the Jackson Theater.

Although the audience wassmaller than expected, the per-formers took over the stage for morethan two hours.

The “evening of music, danceand spoken word” included per-formers ranging from junior highstudents performing Celtic dancesto Ohlone alumni Tishara and DawnTroupe Massey, to the Ohlone hip-hop dance group, Beats and Pieces.

Organized by former Ohlone stu-dent Chris Cargill, the benefit hadhoped to raise $4,000 or more to aidthe Red Cross Tsunami relief ef-forts. The strong earthquake andresulting tidal waves Dec. 26 leftmore than 200,000 people dead inSoutheast Asia.

After a recorded rendition of“Somewhere Over the Rainbow,”from “The Wizard of Oz,” Cargillopened the event and was followedby a performance of “AmazingGrace” by an Ohlone student.

Kathy Miller, a representativefrom the American Red Cross,spoke about where the benefit pro-

ceeds would go to in aiding thetsunami victims.

“People are here tonight to helppeople overseas they don’t evenknow,” said Miller.

The Red Cross will provide tsu-nami victims with such necessitiesas tents, food supplies that are cul-turally appropriate, hygiene kits,and clothing.

Although the Red Cross special-izes in short-term emergency re-sponse to disasters, so much moneyhas been raised for the tsunamivictims that the Red Cross is goingto participate in a 10-year effort to

How to make peace with OhloneBy SEAN G. CRAWFORDEditor-in-Chief

The day most of us found out wewere going to Ohlone after gradu-ating high school I doubt there wereany doves released in our honor orany cake wasted to commemorateour accession towards the heightsof the Ohlone hills. We were socialpariahs when the inevitable ques-tion would arise, “where are yougoing to college?”

For many, finding out thatOhlone is their only option avail-able after high school is tantamountto having an incurable disease. Thefive stages in the cycle of accep-tance that most cancer patients ex-perience have pervaded the collec-tive consciousness of Ohlone’s in-

coming freshman class. The factthat there seems to be such a directlink between public education andcancer is a bit disturbing, but moredisturbing is that this has become atrend among all community col-lege students.

Denial sets in soon after highschool graduation, when askedabout future plans for school yourespond vaguely, refusing to ac-knowledge the fact that you will beattending a community college.Quickly you move from feelings ofanger to depression - a generalunmotivated, languid, torpor per-vades every facet of your life andfor many students they stay stuck inthis melancholy for much of theirinitial stay at Ohlone. It’s a waste,considering the next step to accept-

ing your stay at Ohlone is also yourdoorway out - bargaining for atransfer contract.

And this eventually leads toacceptance, but I don’t think that isenough. When I came to Ohlone forthe first time I was 5 years old, Ithought the campus was a castle.The morning mist parted to revealtowering buildings and elegantfountains; the hills rolled in all di-rections above me. The city lightstwinkled below. This was the mostbeautiful place on earth. Since then,I have visited every major Califor-nia campus and not one has stirredme with the same degree of wonderand contentment that Ohlone didand still does.

To walk around our campus on arainy day is to be inside a living

thing. Water roars down the canalsthat snake through the campus, birdsflutter for cover underneath the fo-liage at the back of the campus...this is our East Bay Eden.

Our faculty remains dedicated tothe student base, the administrationhas opened itself up to a level ofscrutiny and public participation thatwas almost unheard of five years ago

and our campus security works tire-lessly to serve and protect.

Every morning that I trek upOhlone, marching up the windingstairways that envelop the campus,following 158 steps from the baseof Building 20 up to the Quad, Iremain thankful that I attend OhloneCollege; acceptance has becomejubilation.

Seems like only yesterday. Well, maybe a bitlonger than that. But the fountain is still cool.

After coming home from mywinter vacation out of the country,I find that one of my friends got aboob job. It hasn’t even been amonth after her surgery and nowshe’s already talking about gettingthe fat under her neck removed andgetting liposuction on her thighs.

This craze has gone so main-stream that anyone with a creditcard and some time can get it done.

It is no longer for only privilegedmen and women.

Prime-time television used tohave shows where contestantswould compete for a new car. Nowin the 21st Century, shows like‘The Swan’ have contestants com-pete for makeovers that require ri-diculous amounts of cosmetic sur-gery in order to look and feel beau-tiful.

But what many people don’trealize is that shows like ‘TheSwan’ are sending people thewrong message about going un-der the knife. “The public is be-

ing lulled into the sense that thereare no real risks or complica-tions,” says Rod Rohrich, a sur-geon and president of the Ameri-can Society of Plastic Surgeons.“We’re already seeing the impact.I have patients saying they want allthese things done in one operation,and you can’t safely do it. It’s notlike buying groceries or shoes. Youcan take those back. You can’t takeyour face back.”

And it’s true. The increasingnumber of people dying and be-ing injured after having cosmeticsurgery is alarming.

Not only does cosmetic surgerychange the look of your face andbody. It will also change the socialattitudes people have. As more andmore surgery is done, we find thatare reinventing the man andwoman. There are new standardsof what beautiful people shouldlook like.

The demand in jobs will changetoo. If you work at an assemblyline at an automotive factory, noone will care what you look like.Jobs will more than likely be inthe sales department and whowants to buy something from a

middle-aged man with scars frompimples in his adolescence in asize XXXXXL t-shirt?

I can see the positive change inmy friends and family who’ve got-ten plastic surgery, but is the painand money worth it? Whether yousave up for an extensive cosmeticpackage that includes a nose job,tummy tuck and lip injections oryou eat healthy, exercise, get ahaircut and slap on some make-up,I think the effects are just the same.Before going under the knife, con-sider the risks and ask yourself ifyou’re willing to take it.

International degree plannedBy OILVIA SPERANZAOpinion editor

Ohlone President Douglas Treadway, along with half of the regularteachers at Ohlone, are studying a possible international and multiculturalstudies program that would include classes on campus and abroad.

What’s being proposed is an opportunity for students to further theircultural scope of knowledge and better apply themselves for a competitivejob market. “They’ll be really marketable graduates,” Treadway said.“This is for the sake of the students.”

The idea is to have Alliant International University rent out classroomson Ohlone’s campus where students would go through a four-yearprogram, two of which would be spent at Ohlone and the remaining twoat Alliant International University. Any number of associate degreeswould be available to students who would graduate with a BA in interna-tional and multicultural studies.

Treadway said a formal proposal is expected to be ready for discussionin the near future.

When aiding communities andbuying the supplies to do so, theRed Cross spends the money in theareas in need of aid, to put moremoney into the local economiesthat need it most, said Miller.

According to Miller, the RedCross announced Wednesday thatthey had raised $236 million forTsunami funds, and asked forpeople to stop fundraising.

Along with providing the es-sentials for survival, one individualis even working with the Red Crossto find dislocated surviving familymembers, in hopes of getting themback together.

“This is more fun,” said Miller,also saying that she had attendedseveral other Tsunami fundraisers.

An interpretive dance of thesong, “My Eyes” followed Miller’saddress to the audience. After thisperformance, the band Chalkdust,made up of Mark Brosamer, anEnglish teacher, and JeffO’Connell, a math teacher, per-formed two songs along with briefmoments of comedy, includingthreatening the audience withhomework.

A few seconds after showing hisfirst picture, Nelson was overcomeby emotion, which awed the audi-ence, causing some eyes to cloudwith tears of sorrow for the mil-lions affected by the Tsunami.

An article from the Associ-ated Press reported on Jan. 6that a Texas man was sentencedto a mere four months in prisonfor killing his wife.

Yet, the real bugger is that hereceived 15 years for woundingher lover.

According to the article,Jimmy Dean Watkins from FortWorth, shot and killed hisestranged wife, Nancy, in 1998and also shot at her boyfriend,Keith Fontenot. Watkins wasfound guilty of killing his wife,but the jury felt that he hadacted with “sudden passion”when he discovered that shehad been with Fontenot andthus should not be sentencedheavily. The jury decided togive Watkins 10 months ofprobation, which allowed thejudge to give a maximum of sixmonths in jail, yet he sentencedWatkins to only four.

The article stated that Texasdefines “sudden passion” as“being so overcome by rage,resentment or fear that thedefendant is ‘incapable of coolreflection.’”

The Court of CriminalAppeals ex parte report statesthat on Dec. 21, 1998 NancyWatkins made her husbandmove out of the house. Thatsame day Fontenot moved inwith her and her two children.“Through various telephonecalls, [the] appellant discoveredthat Keith and Nancy had madelove that night on the livingroom floor with the childrenupstairs.”

The next day, Watkins calledhis wife and told her that hewas going to kill her, Fontenot,and himself. Moments later hewalked into the house, with thephone at his ear and a gun inhis hand. He passed Fontenot inthe living room, went to thekitchen and shot Mrs. Watkinstwice, injuring her, and thenshot Fontenot who had fol-lowed him into the kitchen.Watkins then fled the scene,pursued by Fontenot whocollapsed while chasing him.

In something I would notdescribe as a “sudden passion”Watkins returned to the houseand then shot his wife againseveral times, finally killingher.

It baffles me that when aman murders his wife, somepeople will find a way todiminish his culpability. Thejury reasoned that exactingrevenge on a man presumablysleeping with your wife is farworse than killing a wanderingspouse.

Sometimes the world seems tobe filled with little commonsense, as in this case. HopefullyJimmy Dean Watkins willunderstand the seriousness of hiscrimes while he serves hissentences, despite the question-able reasoning of the Texan jury.

This March, the Ohlone BookClub will read and discuss aRussian novel that remains al-most as controversial today asit was when it was published in1862.

The generational conflictportrayed in Ivan Turgenev’snovel “Fathers and Sons” in-volves a story about two gradu-ate students who return homewith a destain for the establish-ment and clash with familymembers over intellectual ide-als.

Turgenev was consideredone of Russia’s foremost nov-elists. He was also a dramatistand short story writer who dem-onstrated an ability to master-fully depict complex psychoso-cial relationships between ev-eryday people.

Dr. Paul Belasky, geologyinstructor, who will led the dis-

cussion, chose this novel be-cause it portrays the universaland eternal generation gap be-tween fa thers and sons sopoignantly.

Belasky, a native of Russia,sa id he fee l s tha t th i s i sTurgenev’s finest novel and amirror of Russian culture.

Ohlone College is well knownfor its performing arts department,and many of its alumni go on tosuccessful careers in entertainmentand art. One such former studentsis Wendy Holt, who, after leavingOhlone, went on to work in cast-ing. She has worked with some ofHollywood’s best-known castingdirectors, such as Rick Millikanand Mary Jo Slater.

Holt’s many credits include theTV pilot Dark Shadows as well asthe hit “Star Trek VI.” On thelatter, she worked with LeonardNimoy and William Shatner. Theywere both wonderful, she said. Holtis also the cousin of TaylorHackford, director of the Oscar-nominated Ray.

Holt says that she got into act-ing to, “find out how actors werecast.” While there are a number ofdifferent factors leading up to land-ing a particular role, one of themain factors is the connections agiven actor or actress may have.

“Networking is primary,” said Holt,“it’s who you know.” She also saidthat auditioning for a part whenyou don’t quite fit the part is some-times worth a shot, but it makes thechances slimmer.

On Wednesday, Holt spoke toMark Nelson’s Introduction to Act-ing class. The session started outwith a speech by the casting direc-tor. She covered the casting pro-cess, as well as auditioning and thedifference between stage acting andfilm acting. “I thought it was a verygood presentation,” said studentCharles Olson, “she was very downto Earth.”

After her talk, the class did vocalexercises and mock auditions. Theauditions ranged from dialogue toa frightened scream. Student DanShively said, “I have no acting ex-perience whatsoever, so anythingshe had to say was of great use tome.”

Holt may return for the 10th an-niversary of Ohlone’s Smith Cen-ter complex next year. Havingworked in the field of casting, sheleaves the acting students with these

The Ohlone College logo hasbeen freshly redesigned to betterreflect the campus heritage of theOhlone Indians, who inhabited theBay Area prior to the arrival of theSpanish in mid 1500s, and act as asymbol of various cultures withinthe college.

Ohlone College President Dou-glas Treadway felt that the olderlogo, a green rectangle with “OhloneCollege” written in bold print, didnothing to show what the school isabout.

Dr. Treadway and Public Infor-mation Officer of College Relations,Patrice Birkedahl, worked togetherwith designer Steve Allen of AllenGraphics in Fremont to find the per-fect emblem for the school.

The new logo, a sun with twofeathers was exactly whatTreadway was looking for. “Iwanted something to reflect theheritage of the college, the Ohlonepeople,” said Treadway.

Originally, the idea wasTreadway’s. But it took severalmonths of relaying designs andchanging certain aspects of it be-fore the logo was finally complete.

He feels it is a symbol of theheightened environmental aware-ness within the college, among otherthings, and a pictorial representa-tion of the diversity both studentsand staff aim for.

The sun with two feathers ismeaningful; the rays of the sun rep-resent the universal symbol of acompass.

“I think it will also help us to tell[the school’s] story and it is ouridentity,” said Treadway. “It is im-portant to me to express ourselves.”

I was walking around SanFrancisco last weekend, and thesound of angry women and menhit me like a 2x4. I had justemerged from the Powell StreetBART station, and was on myway to catch a free hip-hopexhibition at the SF MOMA,when I came across a couplethousand protesters in the streets.Chants of “Ban Bush,” echoed inthe chilly air.

Immediately, I noticed thatseveral of the signs were dupli-cates of the ones held up just twodays before along PresidentBush’s inauguration route inWashington D.C. “Worst Presi-dent Ever,” read one particularlybombastic placard, along with aprimate-like picture of him instark black and white. Someonewith a voice reminiscent of FranDrescher (from “The Nanny”)shouted into a loudspeaker “Mybody, my choice!” whipping thecrowd into a frenzy.

Cops in riot gear encircled theslow-moving congregation,looking bored. The cold Pacificwind seemed to force the crowdcloser together, as if solidaritywas as simple as staying warm.

A crew of protest organizerswere busy blowing up heliumballoons emblazoned with pro-choice slogans, handing them outto babies in strollers and gaycouples alike- but not to rubber-necking passersby. Apparently, Iwas not privy to their littlecounterculture event because theynever offered me one, eventhough I waited in line.

I spotted the typical protestaccouterments: buttons, signs andbullhorns, but the brass band andsurrounding legion of SFPD werenovelties. Leading the decidedlyleft-leaning anti-war/NARALmasses were a dozen San Fran-cisco police officers on BMX-style motorbikes.

If their uniforms were made ofraggedy biker-leather and MarketStreet was a landmine-filled desert,it would’ve been a scene out of“Mad Max.” Sadly, it wasn’t, andas I passed the final block ofprotesters, I glimpsed four paddywagons crawling behind thethrongs, prepared for any possibleoutbursts of violence.

After that unexpected butpleasant mob encounter, I mademy way down Third Street andsought refuge in art. The SFMOMA charges $6 for collegestudents with ID, and though thatmay seem like a lot, consideringthe typical Ohlone student’sfinancial straits, I say it is stillwell worth a visit.

Next to the Picassos, you canget a latté, a gourmet sandwichand crème brulée at the Caféadjacent to the museum foraround $10. First-rate food andfine art, even with a protestthrown in; it was a masterpiece ofa daytrip.

“I am very excited, and it’s a very new experiencefor non-English speaking students,” said Blank. Hisclass is specifically designed to help students who donot speak English as a first language, by giving simplelinguistic exercises such as “toy boat” and “red leather,yellow leather.”

Curtis has been teaching for 26 years, with a careerthat spans from elementary school to college. “Ohloneis a great place to work, I have worked in manydifferent places, and this is a great place,” said Curtis.

“The ESL students are facing, the steps they have totake, like the steps we have to use everyday to gettowards our classes, are greater for ESL students toaccomplish for their goal,” said Blank.

New logodebuts forOhlone

For centuries, mankind has taken lumps of earthand molded it to suit his purposes, both artistic andutilitarian.

Over the years, this process has evolved into an artform known as ceramics. At Ohlone, courses inceramics allow students to experience the thrill ofcreating their own works of art from clay.

One of Ohlone’s rising stars is ceramics instruc-tor Bryan Higgins, who teaches students to do justthat. “He’s a good teacher,” said student Chai Ng.

Higgins teaches what is more-or-less a “surveycourse” in ceramics. “Students can go in a morefunctional direction or in a more sculptural direc-tion,” said Higgins.

Higgins’ class is conducted along with the otherceramics courses in Room 4204, which was custombuilt to teach ceramics. There are tables for studentsto work on and sinks for them to wash up in. Rightoutside the room is an area that has kilns, both gasand electric, which turn the clay into ceramic mate-rial.

Higgins, who has been teaching at Ohlone forover three years, also operates his own studio inBerkeley with two other artists. He moved to hiscurrent studio about two years ago, after three yearsat another studio, also in Berkeley. The studio islocated in a complex known as “The Dome,” whichwas founded by Peter Voulkos many years ago andis the workplace of many artists.

“We can never escape,” he said jokingly, “untilwe make great works of art.” Higgins’ influences

include; industrial architecture, religious architec-ture, historical pots, successful pots and bowls andChinese bronzes.

A graduate of Syracuse University, Higgins alsoexpressed an admiration for glass sculpture. He insiststhat he likes to think “outside the box,” for ideas.

His next show will be in Baltimore, and he willparticipate in the annual East Bay Open Studios whichwill feature several different local artists in Oakland’sJack London Square from April 28 to June 12.

“I think one of the exciting things about sculptingand working with clay is that I’m working with theearth, so it’s very satisfying for me,” saidHiggins. “A lot of the people who take ceramicsshare the same experience.”

Summer groundbreakingfor new campus in NewarkBy ALISHA FRANCISCOStaff writer

After a few obstacles, construc-tion for the new Newark OhloneCollege campus will begin as earlyas this summer.

The expected completion of thesite will be in late 2007 just in timeto start the fall semester.

“This is the first environmen-tally friendly campus ever built inCalifornia,” said Dr. DouglasTreadway, Superintendent of theOhlone Community College Dis-trict.

The new site will use differentand alternative ways to use the natu-ral resources instead of wastingthem. One eco-friendly feature pan-eling that will be used to conductsolar heat. They also intend on us-ing the coils underneath the groundso that campus is naturally cool. Byusing these techniques of conserv-ing energy, Treadway expects thecampus to save money on utilities.

Other than these being energyconscious, the design and layout ofthe campus is constructed around abay estuary theme where displaysof the bay and its wildlife will be upfor observation. An observationtower will also be built at the newcampus that will overlook the bay.

Despite these new changes, therewere some minor setbacks that

halted any construction on theground. There were burrowingowls, a protected species, on thesite. The site could not provide aplace for the owls, so trustees votedto have the owls captured andplaced in a better environment.Another issue that was faced wasthe concern for the sprayed toxinson the ground that was once usedfor agriculture. The toxins wereremoved and replaced the groundwith new soil.

The once worn-out junior highschool that was rented out byOhlone will be the most contempo-rary community colleges in Cali-fornia. There will be no classes willbe offered on the Newark campusduring its two year construction. Inthe meantime, classes will start inearly February at the Newark Me-morial High School campus andUniversity of Phoenix campus thatis convienently located at the fu-ture Newark Ohlone campus.

By ALISHA FRANCISCOStaff writer

While construction of the new Newark campus is under way,Ohlone will continue to offer a wide range of off-campus coursesdesigned to fit the schedules of busy students.

Most of these courses will be in a 15-week period, which isshorter than the regular semester at Ohlone. They start in earlyFebruary and will end in May.

Ohlone is renting classrooms at two nearby locations whileconstruction of the future campus begins this summer, withcompletion expected by the fall 2007 semester.

Daytime classes are now being held at the University ofPhoenix located in Fremont. Evening classes are being offeredat the Newark Memorial High School campus in Newark. Bothare near the future Newark Ohlone campus.

There are 13 classes available at the University of Phoenixand 46 evening classes at Newark Memorial. A wide range ofcourses will be offered in February, from biology to English.

It was a clash of the green and goldinside Epler Gym Saturday night, as theRenegades cruised to victory over theColts of Cañada College, defeating them70-45.

The Renegades opened up the gamehot, quickly taking it to Cañada. OhloneHead Coach John Peterson’s plannedstrategy of applying full pressure wasexecuted to perfection because it ap-peared, at times, Cañada was rattled oreven confused. This led to turnover afterturnover committed by the Colts, 20 intotal. Being the advantageous team theyare, Ohlone took total charge and at halftime had a commanding 38-23 lead.

Leading the Renegades’ domi-nating offense was sophomore guard,

Jason Bull.The Amador Valley High graduate

led all scorers with 19 points, hittingshots from all over the floor. Alsocontributing to the team’s dominancewas point guard, Ryan Cooper.

The 5’8” Cooper put up 13points, while subbing in and outwith the rest of the team.

Cañada got fresh looks at ev-ery player Ohlone had, due to thefact that coach Peterson had onlyeight players suited up for thegame. Even with the limited ros-ter, Cañada still could not takeadvantage of perhaps Ohlone’sonly weakness.

Alas, that weakness proved tobe not so weak at all.

Opening the second half, theColts came out on the offensive,

committing numerous fouls, whichled to a 14-3 Ohlone run.

Continuing Peterson’s plan, theRenegades kept putting pressure onCañada, who seemed to be very frus-trated as Ohlone kept passing the ballaround them. So as the final buzzerwent off, Cañada walked off the court,their heads lowered in disgust. TheRenegades left, gleaming with pride.

The win puts the defending confer-ence champs at an even 2-2 record inleague play, which gives them a 10-10overall record. Although CoachPeterson admits this is not where heexpected his team to be, he knows histeam will continue to rise to the occa-sion. That time to rise could come asearly as this weekend, when the Ren-egades face off with rival Chabot, thisSaturday in Hayward.

Men’s basketball rolls to win over Cañada

A hearty hello to all of my faith-ful readers and newcomers alike.Much to talk about this week, let’sget to it.

New England Patriots: Now, I’mnot the kind of guy to brag and/orboast, nor am I the kind of guy to rubit in when I’m right (who am I kid-ding? I’m guilty of both).

The New England Patriots de-feated the Pittsburgh Steelers thisweekend, en route to their secondconsecutive Super Bowl appearance.

They also have earned the chanceto become only the second team inNFL history to win the Super Bowlthree times in four years.

Now, for those of you that haveforgotten or didn’t read my columnthe week after the Steelers beat thePatriots on Halloween, here is themain thing I wanted to point out:“Don’t count on this game meaninganything in the playoffs... The Patri-ots (will) beat the Steelers” See? I

told you I’m not one to rub it inwhen I’m right.

Ben Roethlisberger: Well, it hadto be said, even though it hasn’tbeen said; Ben Roethlisberger, atleast this year, was nothing but afigurehead quarterback that got fartoo much attention for simply notscrewing up.

Roethlisberger, much like TrentDilfer was for the Baltimore Ravensfour years ago, was to go out and letthe number one defense and a verystrong running game take charge,while he simply sat back and didn’tblow it. He blew it.

Roethlisberger threw three intercep-tions and didn’t do much good until itwas already too late in Pittsburgh’s lossto the Patriots on Sunday.

I know he’s a rookie, and he hasmany years ahead of him to estab-lish himself as a passer and all-around quarterback, but this year,he was too highly praised. The ac-

colade was too high and the criti-cism, or lack thereof, about right(even I’d admit that it’s hard tocriticize an undefeated quarter-back).

The telling sign that he wasn’tgoing to perform well this weekwas the statement that he made,more than once, about how he wasscared (or afraid, depending on theinterview) to let his teammatesdown. Any athlete will tell you thatfear in any form is deadly.

Philadelphia Eagles: So the fourthtime was the charm for the greeniesfrom Philly and their not-so-over-

rated-anymore quarterback (eh,Rush Limbaugh?) DonovanMcNabb.

McNabb, in perhaps his mostshining moment, took a group ofgood college-level receivers andgot enough out of his running gameto make the absence of star widereceiver Terrell Owens insignifi-cant.

Unfortunately for McNabb, as Istated last week, no team from theNFC was going to win the SuperBowl this year, no matter whoemerged from the AFC.

Super Bowl: Remember when theNFC used to be a conference ofpowerhouses? The 49ers, the Pack-ers, the Cowboys; hell does anyoneelse remember when the Giants andthe Bears were good?

A few years back, the NFC hadwon 13 consecutive Super Bowls.These were the days when sportsreporters would refer to the NFC

Dynasties, rookies, prophecies; allstemming from the No Fun League

Championship Game as the “RealSuper Bowl” and the actual Su-per Bowl as the coronation of thekings.

This, back in those days, was nota farfetched hypothesis, nor was itan uncalled for assault on the AFC.It was simply a matter of fact. Nowa-days, however, it seems that thetide is shifting toward the AFC.

The AFC has won five of thelast seven Super Bowls since thestreak of 13 ended when the Den-ver Broncos upended the thendefending Super Bowl ChampionPackers.

And the NFC barely got one ofthose wins, when Tennessee’sKevin Dyson was tackled on the 1-yard line by Rams linebacker MikeJones, preventing what would havebeen a game-winning touchdownas time ran out on the Titans.

With the Patriots almost certainlygoing to win this year, it will makeit six out of eight Super Bowls forthe once-subpar AFC.

For the Lady Renegades, it is sweeps week

Ohlone defeats Cabrillo and College of San Mateo in same weekBy STEVEN CHAVEZSports editor

The women’s basketball teamwon two sleepers, and by nearlyidentical scores, this week,rolling over Cabrillo College77-53 on Jan. 19 and overCollege of San Mateo 77-53 onWednesday.

Against Cabril lo, Ohlonecame out smoking hot, scoringthe first 10 points of the game.Cabrillo then scored a singlepoint off of a free throw, whichthe Lady Renegades followedup with five more points to lead15-1.

The rest of the half sawOhlone dominate Cabrillo onboth ends. They were led byAnnika Bai rd and Liez lDacuycuy, who scored all ofher 9 points in the first half.

Dacuycuy had perhaps hermost significant impact on thegame when she hit consecutive

3-pointers to take the game from20-8, when Cabrillo was slowlycreeping back in, to 26-8, fromwhich Cabrillo was never ableto come back within 12 pointsof the lead.

The Lady Renegades wentinto the half leading 43-20.

In the second half, the LadyRenegades seemed to lose a bit offocus, allowing Cabrillo to creepslightly closer, due to what HeadCoach Elizabeth Stanley wouldlater refer to as a lack of intensityon defense.

Baird led all scorers with 17points.

In their second game thisweek, Ohlone played a similargame, this time letting the Col-lege of San Mateo stay close inthe first half, carrying a 37-36lead into the second half.

Dacuycuy again had a strongfirst half, finishing the half andthe game with 9 points, alongwith Joy White who scored 9 of

her game-high 15 points in thefirst half.

The Lady Renegades pickedup the pace in the second half,running off a 25-4 run throughthe first 13 minutes, giving theman insurmountable 22-pointlead.

Kayc ie Z immerman ledOhlone’s scoring surge in thesecond half with 8 points, fol-lowed by Nikki Smith, whoscored all 7 of her points in thesecond half.

“We’re young,” said coachStanley after Wednesday’s game.“Offensively, defensively, wehave to learn to play college-levelbasketball.”

Ohlone is still undefeated inleague play, with this week’saction running their record to3-0.

Next up for the Lady Ren-egades will be San Jose City Col-lege on Friday, right here atOhlone College.
