Hurley said Malloy was in his o ffice w ith th e d o o r c lo sed w hen the scuffle occurred and w as n ev e r co n fro n ted by the suspect.

Z itkus had been cited tw ice prev iously for tre sp a ss in g on the Notre Dame campus.

On Jan. 26, 1991, Zitkus was discovered in the kitchen of the M orris Inn. After being ques­tioned by security, Zitkus was o rd e re d to leave th e cam pus and told th a t he would be a r ­rested for trespassing if he ever returned.

Despite th is w arning, Zitkus cam e back to cam pus on April 1, 1991. He was arrested by se­curity after he was seen acting suspiciously outside the Riley Hall of Art and Design.

Soviet coup leaders face formal conspiracy chargesMOSCOW (AP) — Prosecutors

charged 12 form er high Soviet officials Tuesday with conspir­ing to seize power in the failed coup that quickened the demise of the Soviet Union, which they thought they were saving.

The hard-line officials — in ­c lu d in g th e o n e -tim e p rim e m inister, defense m inister and KGB chief — could face 10 to 15 years in prison or a firing squad fo r th e ir p a r t in th e A u g u st coup, officials said.

No date has been set for the trial that promises to be one of th e m o st s p e c ta c u la r c o u r t cases in m odern R ussian h is ­tory.

The su sp e c ts , six of w hom formed an em ergency commit­tee tha t claimed to have taken

pow er from an ailing M ikhail Gorbachev, have already chal­lenged the fairness of the p ro ­c e e d in g s . T h ro u g h th e i r law yers, they have said senior politicians and the m edia have distorted the facts against them.

P ro secu to rs e a r lie r decided not to charge the suspects with “high treason.” The prosecutors re a so n e d th a t th e s ta te they allegedly tried to betray — the Soviet Union — has ceased to exist anyway.

The charges culminate a four- m o n th in q u iry in w h ich thousands of people were in ter­viewed and 125 volumes of evi­dence compiled, the Tass news agency sa id . In th e p ro c e ss , p ro s e c u to r s s c ru t in iz e d th e KGB, th e a rm e d fo rc e s , an d

Among the form er Soviet of­ficials charged w ere KGB chief V la d im ir K ry u ch k o v ; P rim e M inister V alentin Pavlov; De­fense M inister D im itri Yazov; Vice P re s id e n t G en n ad y Yanayev; Security Council offi­cial Oleg Baklanov; A lexander Tizyakov, head of the state en­terprise association; and Vasily S tarodubtsev , P easan ts Union le a d e r .

Yevgeny Lisov, deputy prose­cu to r g e n e ra l of th e R ussian Federation, headed the investi­gation.

He was quoted Tuesday in the n ew sp ap er Izvestia as saying

Gorbachev could become a wit­ness in the case, but there was no evidence to accuse him of coup involvement.

“T h e re is no t a h in t in h is conduct of Gorbachev’s support of the anti-constitutional am bi­tions of the plotters,” Lisov said, a l th o u g h he a d d e d th a t th e plotters may have believed that Gorbachev would support them because of his “long relations” with them.

INSIDE COLUMN

Disney comes up with a fairy tale for the 90s

As I s a t th ro u g h my se c o n d v iew in g of W alt D isn ey ’s la te s t c re a tio n B eauty and the B east, I w as im p re s se d by w h a t th e “n e w ” W alt D isney had to offer.

Gone are the days when m ovie g o e rs h a d to s it th ro u g h Snow W h ite ’s h e a r t- re n d in g version of “Some Day My Prince Will Come.” No longer will Sleeping Beauty have to sleep until her true love comes to rescue her from the spell placed upon her by the evil witch. Now, good o le ’ U ncle W alt h a s g iv en u s B elle , th e feminist heroine of the 90s.

Unlike h er beautiful, bu t not too b rillian t predecessors. Belle has the intellect and wit to go along with her looks. Let’s face it, spell or no spell, no rocket scien tist would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and then fall peacefully into a coma until Prince Charming comes to break the spell.

Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty m ost definitely co rnered the m arke t on the kind, caring, sw eet and docile personalities, but the only books that any of them ever read are cookbooks. It is about tim e th a t Disney c re a te d a fem ale c h a ra c te r w ho is sm a rt, free-thinking and independent.

Belle w ants more for herself than w hat the little French town has to offer her. In a Sound o f Music-esque scene Belle runs around on the hills singing abou t the ad ven tu res and new e x p e rie n c es aw a itin g h e r aw ay from “th is p rov incial life .” However, a t no tim e d u r in g th e e n t i r e m ovie d o es sh e ev en m ention the idea of Prince Charming coming to sw eep h e r aw ay to a new life. H er firm rejection of Gaston shows ju s t how m uch of her own person Belle really is.

B elle is a co n fid en t, c a p a b le an d gu tsy w om an . She is th e type of w om an young c h ild re n n eed to see in D isney c a r to o n s . There is absolutely no reason why fairy tales need the stereotypical female charac ter and the handsom e p rince who saves her. Belle shows the young audience tha t women can be in te l l ig e n t w ith o u t c o m p ro m is in g th e i r femininity. The Beast, likewise, also proves th a t the p rince does not alw ays have to be drop dead gorgeous to be charming.

Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty all have a place in rom antic cartoon history, b u t th e e ra of “P rin ce C h arm in g re sc u e s beautiful girl from her life of drudgery” fairy tales has past.

Little girls and boys live in a world w here it is plain to see tha t the fairy tale is not always w hat it is m ade up to be. The high num ber of single p a ren t households headed by women gives a strong m essage to children tha t, for w h atev er reaso n s, it is getting h a rd e r and h arder to live happily ever after with Prince Charming.

Beauty and the Beast is the ideal movie for ch ild ren grow ing up in the 90s because it sends the m essage th a t who a person is on the inside is as im portant as who they are on the outside. W omen don’t have to w ait for P rin ce C harm ing b ecau se they a re sm a rt enough to make it on their own.

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

Dear Editor:Recently, the Student Senate

voted to gran t the cam pus Right to Life o rg a n iz a tio n $600 to h e lp d e fra y th e c o s t o f th a t organization’s trip to W ashing­ton D C. to p a rtic ip a te in the D C. March.

S ince th is S en a te m ee tin g , th e r e h a v e b e e n m any m is u n d e r s ta n d in g s . I am w ritin g to c la rify th e p o in ts m e n tio n e d in T he O b se rv e r article (Decem ber 10) and the le t t e r by E lsa S c h e id le r (December 12) concerning this issue.

F irst of all, the Right to Life o rg an iza tio n and officers did fo llow c o r re c t p ro c e d u re by first subm itting an appeals re ­quest to the Club Coordination C o uncil. N orm ally , a c lu b a p p e a ls to th e CCC a n d its contingency fund and then , if unhappy with that decision, has th e r ig h t to a p p e a l to th e S tu d e n t S e n a te B u d g e t C o m m ittee an d f in a lly to Student Senate.

The Right to Life appeal went to Student Senate as a result of the debate during the Student Body President and Vice Presi­d e n t e le c tio n s la s t sp r in g . Joseph Blanco and David Flo- renzo stated that if approached by the organization for financial support, they would take such a r e q u e s t to a S tu d e n t S e n a te vote.

This stance came as a result of th e co n tro v e rsy su rro u n d in g last year’s Student Government funding of Right to Life.

O nce S tu d e n t S e n a te do es have the final say in all m atters concerning funding through the

Student Activity Fee, their deci­sion is final.

Therefore, there was no need for the CCC to ac t on the r e ­quest. It w as tak en to Senate not by request of the club, but by the decision of Student Gov­ernm ent.

Secondly, the comment made by Matt Bomberger in The Ob­s e r v e r a r t ic le w as h is ow n opinion and not that of the CCC. The fact that he is a rep resen­tative on the Council is relevant only in tha t he is aw are of the usual procedures taken in such c a se s . It w as by no m e a n s m eant to represent the opinion of th e c o u n c il o r an y o f i t ’s other members. It was it m eant as a criticism of Right to Life.

A lthough I u n d e rs ta n d how th e g ro u p an d Ms. S ch e id le r could construe the comment as an attack on their organization, it was not m eant as such.

T h ro u g h my c o n ta c t w ith Right to Life and its officers, I am fully aw are th a t th e ir a p ­peal was not an attem pt to gain the political support of Student Senate.

Their purpose was to attem pt to m ake the activities of th e ir o rg an iza tio n as affo rdab le as possible for its m em bers and to participate in an activity which is fu n d am en ta l to su p p o rtin g the m ission of th e ir o rg an iza­tion.

All individuals concerned were only a c tin g in w h a t th ey felt w ere in the best interests of the Right to Life organization and the Student Body.

Hall president reveals HPC corruption, ineffectivenessDear Editor:

My n am e is Rob P ritc h a rd , and I am the p re s id en t of St. Edw ard’s Hall.

W hile m o s t o f my re s p o n s ib i l i t ie s a re e n tire ly within my own dorm, I am also p a r t of th e H all P r e s id e n ts ’ Council (HPC), an organization m ad e up o f a ll o f th e h a ll presidents.

The purpose of this organiza­tion is to provide an opportunity for cam pus le a d e rs to g a th e r once a w eek to discuss issues w h ich a re im p o r ta n t to a ll s tu d e n ts a t N o tre D am e. U nfortunate ly , the g roup h as turned into a thirty m inute bul­letin board th a t accom plishes almost nothing at the students’ expense.

HPC meetings are held on ev­ery Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Each w eek, a d iffe ren t do rm h osts the meeting. At the end of the meeting, the host dorm provides th e m e m b e rs of HPC (3 0 -4 0 people) with dinner.

T his year, do rm s have p ro ­vided our group with food from McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway, KFC, the G reat W all, and the Olive G ard en am o n g o th e rs . The host dorm is expected to buy the dinner with dorm funds. These dinners come out of fund­raisers and hall tax-money that is intended for in-dorm use.

These dinners are not cheap - buying food has cost the host dorm up to $250. The problem is two fold. F irst, th is m oney belongs to the dorm . I do not deserve to ea t food paid for by som eone e lse ’s hall tax . Sec­ond, the vast majority of people on cam pus do no t even know this happens. The dorm s tha t h ost HPC m eetings a re be ing robbed by their own presidents for personal use, and the re s i­dents don’t even know it!

I have been very concerned w ith this issue for som e tim e. At an HPC m eeting in Decem­ber, I voiced my concern. Only three other presidents came out in support of my position. The re s t e ith er rem ained silen t or tried to explain to me why they deserve these dinners.

The following a re actual r e ­sp o n ses by HPC m em b ers . I will a tte m p t to a n sw e r all of their arguments:

• Many presidents have class until 6:30 p.m., and they must miss dinner to attend the meet­ing.

First, th a t is not the reaso n for the dinners. Few, if any, hall presidents have class that late. The dining hall is open for two hours before the m eeting even starts. Even if some would miss dinner, the dining hall provides b o x ed food fo r p e o p le w ho canno t a tten d a m eal. If this were truly a problem, we could simply move the m eeting to 7 p.m. so they would have time to fully d ig e s t th e ir H u n g a ria n Noodle Bake.

• I f we did not have dinners, no one would stay, and people would not meet after the meet­ings to d iscu ss upcom ing events.

The purpose of the meeting is to d isc u ss u p co m in g ev en ts . A fter the m eetin g , th e p re s i­dents just socialize and eat good food. If the only motivation that the presidents have for coming to HPC is free food, th en the problem isn’t HPC, but a lack of d ed ica tion on the p a r t of the presidents.

• We don’t tell our residents about eve ry th in g we sp en d money on.

The p ro b lem is th a t ev e ry ­thing else they spend money on is for the dorm . A penny-by-

penny report is not necessary if all the m oney is sp en t on the dorm. However, it is a serious violation for a president to take money from the dorm treasury for their own use without telling an y o n e . I have sp o k en w ith many residents in o ther dorm s a b o u t th is , a n d e a c h one is upset that their president never told them w here th e ir m oney was going.

• These meetings are for the dorm, and so the food is indi­rectly for the dorm also.

We a re h e re fo r o u r do rm , and the dorm pays for our food- so the food is for the dorm . The frig h te n in g th in g is th a t som e peop le in HPC ac tu a lly believed this one. The food is in no way for anyone bu t the m em bers of HPC. If the food is really “for the d o rm s,” th en I strongly encourage everyone on cam pus to jo in us a t our next m eeting for som e rea lly good food at no cost. We could have a very successful m eeting with over $150 of food w aiting for u s . T he a rg u m e n t w a s th a t there would not be a meeting if there was no food. This s ta te ­m ent can be easily translated - “We are here for the food.”

• We work hard, and we de­serve a little reward once in a while.

The w ords “we deserve. . .” w ere used tha t night almost as much as the profanities issued u n d er the b re a th s of m any of these leaders upon being criti­cized for this m atter. The fact is , a ll h a ll p r e s id e n ts w o rk h a rd . The jo b is m uch m ore d iff ic u lt th a n I im a g in e d it would be. The problem is that we do n o t d e se rv e fre e food bought with stolen money. We knew the job s w ould be diffi­cu lt, bu t we accep ted the r e ­sponsibility. We are volunteers. At m ost, we deserve the su p ­port, help, and encouragem ent of the other residents.

• The money we used did not come fro m h a ll ta x o f fu n d ­raisers, but from other sources.

I never understood this one. W here does th e m oney com e from? Do they know something w e d o n ’t? W h ere c a n I g e t some? It does not really m atter w here the money comes from, th e m o n ey is m e a n t fo r th e dorm to use for dorm functions- not for personal satisfaction.

• It isn't that much money.T he p ro b le m is th a t e a c h

dorm is expected to pay about the sam e am ount for the d in­ners. This m ans tha t a small dorm m ust pay as m uch as a la rg e , w e a l th ie r d o rm . For m any d o rm s , th is is a lo t of money. E ither way, it is an u n ­n e c e s s a ry e x p e n se th a t a ll dorm s a re expected to pay. (I am not writing this letter to get out of paying when HPC comes to ST. Ed’s. Our dorm probably won’t even host a meeting until next September.) Further, w hat they fail to realize is that if each dorm sp en t $150 on food for HPC over $3,000 will be spent over th e c o u rse o f one year. That is a lot of wasted money.

• I t’s just like giving money to a local charity.

G re a t id ea! W hy d o n ’t we take the m oney th a t feeds us once a w eek a n d give it to c h a r ity ! A nyone w ho even th in k s th a t th e tw o a re even re m o te ly r e la te d sh o u ld be forced to w ork in a hom eless shelter for four years.

My o rig in a l sug g estio n w as th a t the dorm s shou ld no t be e x p e c te d to p ay fo r d in n e r w hen they h o st a m ee tin g of HPC. This way, each president could discuss the expense with their hall council.

However, it is now clear tha t

this would not change anything. M ost p r e s id e n ts w o u ld fee l pressured into having dinner, as m any HPC m em bers would be o ffe n d e d by a d o rm n o t r e ­tu rn in g the favor of free food once a week.

It would be very easy for any p r e s id e n t to in fo rm a h a ll council tha t they will be spend­ing m oney for HPC in such a way as to not upset anyone. In fa c t, s e v e ra l h a ll p re s id e n ts d isc u sse d th is is su e a t th e ir council meetings that week, and m ost d iscu ssio n s w en t so m e­thing like this: “We are hosting HPC next semester, and the host dorm is supposed to pay for a sm a ll d in n e r fo r th e o th e r presidents. All the other dorms do it, so we should do it, too. It w on’t be that m uch money, so is that O.K.?”

This method of discussing the issue does not accomplish any­th ing, as m ost re s id en ts w ere m isled in to believing th a t the d inners a re both expected and cheap.

Therefore, the only solution is to end HPC dinners entirely. We obviously don’t need them, and th e m o n ey c o u ld be b e t te r allocated to a charity or to the dorm itself.

I did not realize the true ex­ten t of hall p residents stealing m oney for p e rso n a l use u n til the m eeting last week. While th e r e , I d is c o v e re d th a t th e dorm ’s don’t only pay for HPC m e e tin g food, b u t th a t som e w ere tak ing add itional funds. HPC m em bers w ere able to p u r­c h a se HPC ru g b y s h i r t s fo r about $30 (Wear it with pride).

I declined the offer, but rum or h a s it t h a t so m e p re s id e n ts b o u g h t th e s h ir ts w ith - you guessed it - dorm money. HPC also has frequent “social gath­e r in g s ” fo r its m em b ers . We w ere all expected to contribute ten dollars a t the beginning of th e s e m e s te r to p ay fo r r e ­freshm en ts. Recently, a t least one p r e s id e n t p a id h is “a c tiv itie s fe e ” w ith a check from the dorm ’s account. Also, at the end of the year, HPC has a b a n q u e t a t T ip p e c a n o e . G uess w ho p ay s fo r th a t? Buying food every week is bad enough, but the above examples a re n o th ing sh o rt of robbery . This is a d isgracefu l abuse of pow er, an d m u s t be s to p p ed immediately.

I would not be so angry at the blatant abuse of power in HPC if the organization itself w eren ’t so useless. At first, I believed th a t this group would be good a s a fo ru m fo r d is c u s s in g im p o r ta n t c a m p u s is s u e s , organizing interhall events, and p lanning cam pus p rogram s to help all undergraduates.

Unfortunately, the group has done n o th in g b u t p rov ide an opportunity to pass out posters, ask for m oney, socialize , and e a t d in n er. The ty p ica l HPC m e e tin g goes so m e th in g like this:

O pening P ray er (we usually pray for the food) and roll call begin the meeting. A represen­ta tive from Sain t M ary’s th en tells us w hat is going on across the street. The Student Senate r e p r e s e n ta t iv e th e n te l ls us w h a t they a re doing, and we h e a r fro m D ave F lo re n z o (studen t body v ice-president). Joe Cassidy, from S tudent Ac­tiv ities , te lls us w h a t we can and cannot do at hall events.

Speakers come, rep resen ting many worthy causes, and ask us to hang up posters or give them m oney. N ex t, so m eo n e w ho ru n s HPC te lls us to pay ou r “activity fee” (happy hours and p a rty fee), go to the $25 HPC

formal, or get ready for the big HPC party tha t week.

Finally, we eat.Last week (December 3), the

entire meeting took ten minutes - not a bad day for all that food. U sually , th e m e e tin g s a re f in ish ed in th ir ty m in u te s or less. Most everything could be handled by way of notices in the dorm m ailbox in the S tu d en t G overnm ent office. My w ork with HPC has given me nothing m ore than valuable note-taking experience.

W hen an actual issue comes up for discussion, HPC has done nothing. When we debated the dividing of D-2 p a rk in g lot in April, we spent most of the time d e c id in g th e p ro p e r parliam entary procedure when a discussion reach es ten m in­utes in length (We never did de­cide, but a t least we had a dis­cussion that lasted ten minutes).

When WVFI wanted us to pass a resolution of support for their sw itch to FM, we deb a ted for about ten m inutes - not about WVFI, bu t abo u t if we should discuss it that week or the week a fte r. F inally , w h en we (for so m e r e a s o n ) ta b le d th e resolution until the next week, we never discussed the actual re so lu tio n - w e p a sse d it on unanim ous consent.

W hen W eek en d W h eels needed m ore money, we voted to allocate dorm funds for this cause b ecau se th e U niversity won’t help. Then we found that ridership was low (Oh, well, at least we tried something).

When the m ost im portant is­sue o f th e y e a r so fa r a ro se (R em em ber the Safe Haven?), th e h ead of HPC gave us the safe haven resolution and told u s to do w ith it w h a t w e wanted. Period.

There w as never any discus­sion on w hat was the most im­p o rtan t dorm /cam pus issue of th e y e a r. As a r e s u l t , e a c h dorm was required to deal with th e issu e a lo n e , and n o th in g w as a c c o m p lish e d b ey o n d f ra g m e n te d s u p p o r t an d a dozen reworded resolutions.

W hen the Observer criticized HPC fo r no t d ea lin g w ith the Safe Haven issue, one m em ber p u b lic ly re s p o n d e d to th e c h a rg e in th e sa m e p a p e r . W hen one hall p residen t criti­cized HPC in the Scholastic for not dealing w ith the problem , he was instructed never again to publicly criticize HPC.

Hypocrisy? I believe the First A m en d m en t say s so m e th in g about us being allowed to pub­licly discuss both sides of an is­sue.

The other “big” issue at HPC this year was the “THE SHIRT” f u n d - r a is e r fo r th e In d ia n a g am e . L as t y e a r, A nT osta l though t of, p lanned , and p ro ­ceeded to succeed w ith one of the biggest fund-raisers for any cam p u s g ro u p (“THE SHIRT 1990").

Last year, all the halls had to do w as sell the shirts, earning two dollars for every sh irt ($2 also w ent to AnTostal). In April, HPC began to plan “THE SHIRT 1991” w ithout telling AnTostal a b o u t is p lan s. They a rg u ed th a t while AnTostal needs the dorm president to succeed with the fund-ra iser, the dorm s do not need the help of AnTostal.

Even though the idea o rig i­n ated w ith AnTostal, HPC had almost no regrets about leaving the sp ring festival beh ind . A compromise was finally reached w hich ra ised the p rice of the shirts so tha t the dorm s would m a k e m o re m oney , w h ile sharin g th e ir profits w ith An­Tostal. The leaders of HPC led

the m em bers of HPC to believe that everything tha t went wrong w ith th e f u n d - r a i s e r in th e planning stages was the fault of AnTostal.

M em b ers c o m p la in e d th a t HPC did all the work (although all we had to do w as sell the s h ir ts in o u r dorm ) an d th a t A n T o sta l d id n o th in g (they thought of the fund-raiser, de­signed th e sh ir t , o rd e re d the shirt, advertised the shirt, and sold th e s h ir t a t m o st o f the concession stands).

W hen $ 4 5 ,0 0 0 w as f in a lly ra is e d , m em b ers com plained th a t it w as AnTostal’s fault we d id n o t m a k e m o re m oney. W h en th e h e a d o f A nT osta l w ro te a fo rm a l apo logy an d ex p lan a tio n to HPC (although none w as needed - he was the v ictim , no t the p rob lem ), the festival received another dose of abuse from HPC.

This controversy brought on a trem endous am ount of AnTostal b a s h in g , a n d s o u re d th e re la tionsh ip betw een SUB and HPC. In s te a d of w ork ing to ­gether, HPC appears unwilling to cooperate with this extremely im portant cam pus organization w hich needs our support to be successful.

At th e la s t m e e tin g o f th e semester, we debated four reso­lutions (doubling our output for th e s e m e s te r ) a n d w e w ere re w a rd e d w ith food from the S p a g h e tti W orks. One o f th e r e s o lu t io n s (p a s s e d by th e S tuden t Senate on unanim ous consent) argued tha t hall staffs shou ld no t be allow ed to use hall fines (“a p o pu lar form of sanction”) for “m eals or rec re ­ation for them selves” because “these monies could be used for charitable purposes or to build the whole dorm com m unities.” It also resolved that the “use of these fines be disclosed to the hall community.” This is a very good reso lu tion because it r e ­qu ires hall staffs to use dorm money for the dorm and not for th e m s e lv e s . T he re s o lu t io n passed HPC on unanim ous con­sent, and no one seem ed to re ­alize th a t I h ad a tte m p te d to pass the same resolution about HPC one week earlier.

In conclusion, HPC has been an extremely ineffective organi­z a tio n th is year. N oth ing of consequence has been accom ­plished , and im p o rtan t issues are ignored or m istreated. HPC has stolen from the dorm s for personal privileges of its m em ­bers, and it has given virtually nothing in return . The organi­zation has turned into a bulletin board tha t I am required to a t­tend every week. It is primarily a so c ia l g ro u p , w h e re p re s i­dents use dorm funds to buy us food without telling anyone.

It is a group unsupportive of SUB and AnTostal, two groups that depend on the dorms. It is an e x tre m e ly se lfish o rg a n i­zation whose prim ary purpose is to satisfy its members.

This letter is in no way m eant to criticize any individual dorm o r ha ll p re s id e n t. T here are m any people in the group who feel the same way as I do, only m ost o f th em will no t tak e a stand on this issue for fear of retaliation or criticism.

HPC can an d shou ld be a very viable and im portan t o r­g an iza tio n on cam pus. U ntil something is done to change the internal crisis in HPC, however, the problems will continue.

Team planned on green uniformsBy DAVE McMAHON AND ANTHONY KINGSports Writers

The Irish su rp rised everyone w hen they cam e out for the gam e w earing green. Notre Dame wore white jerseys w ith green num bers and green socks, m a rk in g th e f i r s t tim e H oltz h a s dressed the Irish in green.

“It w as p la n n e d fo r w e e k s ,” explained Holtz. “I just thought that it w a s a s p e c ia l o c c a s io n w ith th e adversity we w ent through a t the end of the year. It seem ed like the Lady on the Dome would forgive us for w earing green. The players did not know until the pre-gam e meal. But we will always w ear blue during the season.”

The last tim e the Irish w ore green with the white jerseys was in 1981 in the Sugar Bowl against Georgia. Coach Dan Devine lost tha t game 17-10, but th e g re e n w o rk ed for h im on o th e r occasions. Devine earlier had switched to green in the 1977 USC game prior to kickoff, and the Irish cruised to a 49-19 victory and a national championship.

N otre D am e’s g re e n n u m b e rs and so ck s m ay h av e b e e n a p p e a lin g to so m e , b u t o ffe n s iv e g u a rd M irko Jurkovic didn’t think much of the new style.

“They ju st m ade me feel like Gumby a little,” said Jurkovic.

For six Irish seniors, the Sugar Bowl w a s n o t th e e n d o f th e s e a s o n . Professional scouts received a look at the following players in severa l bowl games:

Senior Bowl: ta ilback Tony Brooks, strong safety Rod Smith

Hula Bowl: tight end Derek Brown, offensive guard Mirko Jurkovic

E a s t-W e s t S h r in e G am e: D erek Brown

Ja p a n Bowl: cen te r Gene McGuire, split end Tony Smith, Rod Smith

• ••

W ith M atthew s se ttin g reco rd s for most passes (58) and completions (28), the Irish secondary was forced to make m any stops. S trong safety Rod Smith led the Irish with 18 tackles. According to Sm ith, Coach Lou Holtz, acting as d e fe n s iv e c o o rd in a to r a f te r G ary D arn e ll b e c a m e a s s is ta n t co ach a t Texas, adequately prepared the Irish.

“Coach got us jacked up and we did som e in te lligen t th in g s ,” said Sm ith. "T he p re s s u r e w o rk e d w ell to n ig h t - th e r e w e r e n ’t an y b litz sc h e m e s , b u t w e did a good jo b of c o n ta in in g th e m . We h a d en o u g h athletes to cover them .”

Kicker Kevin Pendergast never really ex p ec ted to see ac tion in th e S ugar Bowl, but was called upon when Craig H e n tr ic h r e in ju r e d h is k n e e . P e n d e rg a s t d id n o t tra v e l w ith th e te a m , b u t cam e d ow n on h is ow n accord, to enjoy the bowl activities.

W hen it cam e down to it, Pendergast filled Hentrich’s shoes as he connected on a field goal and three extra points.

“I am v e ry p ro u d o f K evin Pendergast,” said Lou Holtz. “We gave him a gam e ball. His m o th e r h ad a setback recently and he did a great job for us.”

The Cheerios joke may have inspired the Irish, but the South Bend Center for the Homeless was the real beneficiary.

G en e ra l M ills Inc. s e n t H oltz five cartons (120 boxes) of Cheerios to his office. A ttached to the cartons w as a note from John 0 . Hallberg, director of the Cheerios business unit.

“Like th e F ig h tin g I r ish , w e have b e e n one o f A m e ric a ’s fa v o rite fo r y e a rs ,” sa id H allberg. “And, as your te a m d ra m a tic a lly p ro v ed , b o th do belong in bowls.”

Holtz d o n a ted the C heerios to the Center for the Homeless.

half. The trio of Brooks, Culver, and Bettis pounded the ball s tra ig h t a t the Gators. The offensive line opened gaping holes, and the Irish runners did the rest. Notre Dame ran 11 stra ig h t plays driving to the Florida 6, w here the drive stalled. Pendergast hit the 23-yard field goal to get the Irish within 6.

The Notre Dame defense stiffened in the second half, as th ey b la n k e te d th e G ato r re c e iv e rs an d fo rced Matthews to continue to throw short. The Irish stopped the Gators on the next possession, and got he ball at the Notre Dame 20.

After two passes to Tony Smith, the ground game took over again. Culver ran for 21 yards on a sweep left. Bettis rum bled for 8-yards up the middle, taking it to the F lorida 9. The next play w as an option righ t to Culver, and M irer pitched the ball over Culver’s head. Culver recovered , bu t it cost N otre Dame 15 yards. M irer m ended his e rro r by h itting Tony Smith for 16 yards on a middle screen. This set up fourth and one for the Irish on the Gator eight. Notre Dame went to “old reliable”, as Jerom e Bettis busted over right tackle for 2 yards and a critical first down.

After two running plays for no gain, Mirer rolled right and found Irv Smith in the back of the endzone all alone for the touchdown. After the Pendergast extra point, the Irish had their first lead of the game, 17-16.

The G ato rs w ere no t going to ro ll over for N otre Dame, however, and again drove inside the Irish 20. Florida again could not capitalize, and Czyzewski kicked another field goal.

The Gators looked to take control of the game when defensive end D arren Mickell knocked loose the ball from M irer and recovered on the Notre Dame 12 yard line. The Irish defense again stood tall, and Czyzewski booted his fifth field goal.

“I thought that w hen we forced the field goal, when we w ere down 19-17 after the turnover, that that was the critical part of the gam e,” said Holtz. “We still only n e e d e d one sc o re to w in . If w e h a d g iv en up a touchdow n, it would have taken two and th a t would have been much harder.”

In the fourth quarter, Jerom e Bettis came to life. Bettis ea rn ed his first touchdow n on a th ree yard scam per over right tackle, with 4:48 rem aining in the game. The Irish then went for two, and converted on a short pass :o Tony Brooks, giving Notre Dame a 25-22 advantage.

NEW ORLEANS—Cha-Ching. Ring one up fo r N otre Dame’s offensive front.

A lthough the defense perfo rm ed exceptionally w ell when Florida had the ball inside the Irish 20-yard line, the Irish offensive line ultimately stole the show in Notre Dam e’s 39-28 win over the th ird -ranked Gators a t the Louisiana Superdome.

After Florida’s offense ran nearly twice as much time off the clock in the first half than Notre Dame, Irish coach Lou Holtz knew a change had to be made.

At halftime, Holtz opted for a ball control offense. As many coaches say, a team ’s rushing game is only as good as its offensive line. In the second half, the Irish line dominated w hat had been the nation’s 6th best rushing defense, allowing only 100 yards per game.

Notre Dam e’s 279 rush ing yards, highlighted by Sugar Bowl MVP Jerom e Bettis’ 150 yards on 16 carries (9.4 yards per carry), came as a result of yet another stellar perform ance by the offensive line.

In a m atchup of All-Americans, Notre Dame guard Mirko Jurkovic silenced Gator tackle Brad Culpepper. Culpepper, who entered the Sugar Bowl with 82 tackles in eleven previous games, tallied four tackles and one assist.

Momentum keys the Irish offensive line, yet in the first half it w asn’t to be found. With two punts, a lost fumble and an interception, the Irish couldn’t establish much of a control game. Thirty-four rushing yards didn’t help much either.

So at the break, Holtz decided to take advantage of the size difference on the line and run the ball up the gut. While Florida’s defensive line was noticeably quicker, Notre Dame’s size allowed the Irish to run a t will in the second half.

“I think that offensively in the first half we w ere out of sync.” said Holtz, who picked up his first win in two trips to the Sugar Bowl. “We decided at half to go to more of a pow er and ball control game in the second half.”

In order to do so, the line had to stay on its feet, a feat it couldn't accomplish in the first half.

“We w ere slipp ing and on the g round a lo t in the firs t half, w hich w as p robab ly because we w ere a little o v e ran x io u s ,” said Irish g u ard M irko Jurkovic. “We just wanted to go out and hit somebody. We were able to stay on our feet and hold our blocks longer in the second half.”

The Irish attacked quickly. Twelve rushing plays and 64-yards later, Kevin Pendergast cut the Gator lead to 16-10 with a 23-yard field goal.

Tackles Justin Hall and Lindsay Knapp, guards Jurkovic and Aaron Taylor, and center Gene McGuire produced gaping holes for the Irish backfield, despite Florida’s defensive speed.

A trap block by Hall allowed Bettis to break free on his first score of the game.“The offensive line and coach [Joe] Moore have done a beautiful job all year,”

said Holtz, who emphasized that a team effort, ra th e r than individuals, brought the Irish success.

Defensively, the Gators w ere a tom and tattered bunch.“We sort of got worn down defensively and got some guys hurt, but we were

able to put 11 on the field," said Florida coach Steve Spurrier.Although inside linebacker Carlton Miles left early with an injury. Spurrier

recognized the offensive line as more of a factor than Florida’s injuries.“We didn’t have that many injuries—maybe we just got worn down by the size

of the Notre Dame offensive line,” said Spurrier. “I felt like Notre Dame would be able to run the ball effectively with the size of their offensive line. We were sort of hanging on by a thread defensively."

The thread eventually wore too thin, mainly because of a dominant Irish offensive line.

A celebration of the Bob mystiquever Christmas, I w ent to see Bob.

a 1 I gazed at Bob for a long time.■ m Slowly, I made my way over to Bob.

Hesitatingly, I leaned on Bob.Timidly, I stood on Bob.And when I could stand it no longer, I stroked

Bob’s rails.Any casual reader of “People” m agazine will

know th a t Bob is a bridge about ten m inutes w e s t of Vail. A c o n s tru c tio n w o rk e r, Louie S u lliv an , e n te re d th e “N am e T h a t B rid g e ” contest with the first thing that popped into his h e a d . He h a s b e e n c o n g ra tu la te d fo r h is minimalist creativity, but protests, “It a in’t like I put any thought into it."

Mr. Sullivan underestim ates the Bob Mystique. For Christmas I received a copy of “The Bob

Book: A Celebration of the Ultimate Okay Guy,” and hungrily read page after page about why “Bob” is m ore th an ju s t a nam e you can say backwards.

T h e a u th o r s e x p la in , “ B o b n ess is w h a t p re v e n ts Bobs from w e a r in g b e re ts ; from sm o k in g F re n c h c ig a r e t te s ; fro m q u o tin g Nietzsche... it accounts for Bobs breaking out in cold sw eats w henever in the vicinity of mimes, Renaissance fairs, Vandyke beards, ta ro t cards, new Age music, and people who say ‘ciao!’.”

Bob a f te r n o ta b le Bob is in te rv ie w e d , including Bob N ewhart (the quintessential Bob), Bob Eubanks, the Anti-Bob, and Bob Ballou, a le s se r know n Bob w hose n am e so u n d s like “Bobaloo” when spoken in haste.

I le a r n e d a b o u t th e P a te r n a l B ob, th e Romantic Bob, W hat Bob Knows For Sure, and how long average Bobs spend on their hair each day (“5.64 m inutes, probably including washing and drying”).

W hat’s so special about Bob th a t m erits an entire book trim m ed in plaid? What m akes Bob m ore than ju s t one m ore nam e th a t does not form an obscenity in “The Name Game”?

Bob was once Robert. Bob chose to be Bob.It can be a curse to have a com m on nam e.

M any’s I ’ve h a d y o u n g m en in tro d u c e themselves to me as “Tiqm—the q ’ is silent.”

The “q ,” of co u rse , is a feeb le a tte m p t to distinguish themselves from the great throngs of Tims running ram pant on this earth .

Take Jennifer. The choice of a diminutive can ind ica te en d less perso n a lity tra its . The only person I know who goes by the full Jennifer is now “M iss S c h a u m b u rg ” (no sm a ll responsibility, considering the trem endous mall that lies in her jurisdiction).

But ca n ’t you ju s t see som eone who would introduce them selves as “Jen i-one-’n ’-no-’y ”? Possibly with a circle instead of a dot over the “i"? But Bob doesn’t need draw smiley faces in his “o.”

Bob is more than a nickname. “The Bob Book” asserts , “Bobs a re essen tia lly unaffected and have little to prove. If they w an ted to prove anything, they would call themselves Robert. Or Rob. Or Bobby. Or S tin g . Bob is th e m o st enjoyable nam e to pronounce, with the possible exception of Hoyt.”

Bobs are simple. “The Big Questions a ren ’t all th a t im p o rtan t to Bobs,” say the au tho rs. “If there were any Big Answers to be found, Bobs assum e someone would have said something by now.”

I cannot choose to be Bob (or a t least, it would be odd if I did). But I can applaud the Bobs who are finally coming into their own.

In ad d itio n , I feel th a t th e tre n d to n am e bridges w ith inform al fondness is a pow erful com m entary on our society’s need to be on a more familiar footing (sorry) with our bridges.

Perhaps this tim e next year, I will have the o p p o r tu n i ty —nay , p e rh a p s I w ill t ake th e opportunity—to tread on a bridge nam ed “Jen .”

“Four years ago, (in St. Joseph County) no one looked out for the child’s best interests. At this point, 127 children are looked after by o u r o rg a n iz a t io n a lo n e . I t ’s rew arding to see this,” said Bailey.

P erh ap s CASA could not have been founded at a better time. As s itu a tio n s c h an g e , and d ivorce r a te s g ro w as th e eco n o m y declines, there is a crusade such as this to intervene in the plights of children.

“It is an o v e ra ll d if f e re n t situation for both the children and the en tire nation. There is m ore poverty than ever,” stated Bailey.

Women’s hoops rallies, falls short against TennesseeBy RENE FERRANAssociate Sports Editor

For the Notre Dame w om en’s basketball team , close ju st isn’t good enough anymore.

“We’re a little frustrated right now," said Irish coach Muffet McGraw after her team ’s 85-82 loss to third-ranked Tennessee, its fifth close defeat to a ranked opponen t th is season . “W e’re trying to play a top 20 schedule, and w e’re getting a little tired of being close. We w ant a w in.”

However, an 18-4 ru n in the first seven m inutes of the game by the Volunteers (8-1) doomed Notre Dame to playing catch-up th e r e s t o f th e a f te rn o o n . Tennessee led 23-7 with 13:07 left in the first half, and it ap ­peared as if this would be an ­o ther in the long line of dom i­n a n t v ic to ries the V olunteers h a v e h e ld o v e r th e Irish—Tennessee had won the previous eight m eetings by an average of 26 points.

“If we can figure out how to stop spo tting team s 15 points every game, w e’re going to win a lot of gam es,” said McGraw.

But w hen the Volunteers be­gan substituting midway in the half, the Irish (4-9) started their comeback from a deficit which h ad g row n to as m uch as 22 points (37-15) with 6:11 left.

Ju n io r Coquese W ashington h it a th re e -p o in te r from th e right wing, and senior M argaret Nowlin scored six points during an 11-0 run as Notre Dame cut the d efic it to 37-26 w ith ju s t under four m inutes to go in the half.

“W hen we substitu ted today, it r e a l ly h u r t u s ,” sa id Tennessee coach Pat Summitt. “We had some people come in not ready to play, and that was definitely a fac to r in ou r first half lapse.

“We have s ta r te d so s tro n g the last three games, been very im pressive early, and then we d e f in ite ly a p p e a r to b eco m e complacent. I was hoping today would be different because we had a d d re sse d th a t p rob lem , and it has to become a priority if in fact we w ant to become a great team .”

“T he c row d is w h a t got us b a c k in to th e g a m e ,” sa id McGraw. “We talked coming in that if we w ere behind (at half- tim e), th a t we couldn’t be b e ­hind by double figures, because we felt th a t we need ed to be able to come back right away.”

Tennessee stretched the lead back to 15 early in the second half, but the Irish turned up the pressure on defense and began c h ip p in g aw ay a t th e Volunteers’ advantage.

A 9-0 Notre Dame run keyed by its full-court p ress brought the Irish within six, 67-61, with 8:46 left in the game.

“We w ere surprised the press worked as well as it did," said M cG raw . “We cam e in to th e g am e th in k in g w e p ro b a b ly wouldn’t be able to press them because they’re so poised and handle pressure so well.”

T he V o lu n te e rs w e re a lso p la g u e d by p o o r f re e - th ro w shooting, h itting only 52 p e r­cent of their foul shots (14-27) in th e seco n d half. As N otre Dam e c lim b ed b ack in to th e contest, it appeared as if their in a b il i ty to h it fro m th e l in e —th e y m isse d n in e fre e th ro w s in th e f in a l e ig h t m inutes—would cost them the game.

“We a re a ta le n te d team , a good team , bu t we w on’t be a great team until we take care of the b ask e tb a ll and m ake ou r free throw s in p ressu re s itu a ­t io n s ,” s a id S u m m itt. “For w hatever reason, (free throws) have been a problem , and if it stays this way, I w on’t tell you th a t w e w o n ’t be a to p five team , bu t th a t ’s doing th ings the hard way.”

Tennessee built the lead back to 11 (79-68) with 3:48 rem ain­ing when Notre Dame made its f in a l c h a rg e . F re s h m a n Michelle M arciniak scored five straigh t points to spark a 12-3 ru n to close the gap to 82-80 w ith 38 se c o n d s re m a in in g . Nowlin, who led all scorers with 23 points, also hit three baskets

during that stretch.But th e V o lu n tee rs r ig h te d

them selves and pulled out the victory. Peggy Evans hit one of two free th ro w s w ith 18 sec ­onds left, bu t w hen M arciniak lost her balance going after the reb o u n d , T ennessee reg a in ed

p o sse ss io n . D ena H ead th e n nailed two free throws with 10 seconds left to seal the victory.

“T hat’s the one thing that was pleasing, that late in the game, we took care of the basketball, we executed offensively, and we h a d good b o a rd p la y ,” sa id

Summitt. “T hat’s the one thing that this team has been able to do, when a team ’s m ade a run a t us, w e’ve been able to bear down and do w hat we had to do to win in the end.”

In the second half, the Irish quickly pushed their five-point le a d up to 11 , a t 4 6 -3 5 , as B e n n e tt b u r ie d a te n - fo o t ju m p er and Ellis and B ennett n a ile d sh o ts off a s s is ts from freshm an Billy Taylor. Carolina w as ab le to pu ll w ith in fo u r points, 50-46, but th a t w as as close as they would get the rest of th e gam e. B ennett led the Irish with ten assists, and was the key figure in Notre Dame’s ball-con tro l offense dow n the stretch.

The Irish defense was stingy in th e s e c o n d h a lf , h o ld in g Carolina to 46 percent shooting from the floor, while the offense an sw ered every ru n C arolina co u ld com e up w ith . W hile Carolina was struggling to pull itself back into the game, Ellis, B e n n e tt , a n d S w ee t w e re p a c in g th e Ir ish a tta c k w ith strong shooting.

The Irish led 69-61 with 4:57 left in the gam e an d p u t the contest out of reach in the next three minutes. Bennett stole an inbounds pass and Ellis tipped in a Taylor miss to increase the Irish lead to 71-61 . C aro lina m ade a quick run to pull within five, 73 -68 , b u t the sh oo ting touch of Daim on Sw eet dow n the line sealed the victory.

In s te a d , S w ee t, a ll alone on the weak side, quickly launched a risky three-pointer tha t found its m ark and broke the Tar Heels.

“It was a terrib le shot,” said Sw eet. “I w a sn ’t supposed to take that shot, but I was in the flow and I knew I had it. This is a huge w in , an d we w a n t to play every gam e like we did today.”

Irish gel in finale, upset Gators 39-28

The Observer/ Andrew McCloskeySugar Bowl MVP Jerome Bettis rumbles ahead for the second of his three touchdowns. The sophomore fullback put the Irish on top 25-22, a lead they would never relinquish.

By ANTHONY KINGAssociate Sports Editor

NEW ORLEANS—An inspired, g reen -c lad N otre Dame team ra n o v er th e n u m b e r th re e - ran k e d F lo rida G ato rs in the USF&G Sugar Bowl, 39-28.

It w asn’t even supposed to be a co n test. The G ators looked im p ress iv e in th e ir w in over Florida State. Notre Dame was com ing off a n a rro w v ic to ry against Hawaii and two d isap­p o in tin g lo sses to T en n essee and Penn State. Sportsw riters w e re q u e s tio n in g w h e th e r Notre Dame even belonged in a January 1st bowl. The Cheerios jo k es w ere ru n n in g ra m p a n t and defensive coordinator Gary Darnell had taken off for Texas.

Florida instead found a re ju ­v e n a te d a n d f ire d -u p N o tre Dam e team th a t show ed why they belonged.

It did not look prom ising for Notre Dame in the early going. F lo r id a took th e b a ll on the opening kickoff and m arched 85 y a rd s fo r a to u c h d o w n . Q u arte rb ack Shane M atthew s en g in ee red the drive, picking th e I r is h zo n e a p a r t fo r 55 y a rd s , in c lu d in g a 1 5 -y a rd strike to Willie Jackson for the score.

T h in g s w e n t fro m b ad to w o rse fo r N otre D am e w hen kick re tu rn m an Clint Johnson was stripped of the ball and the G ators reco v ered a t the Irish 39-yard line.

On the next play M atthew s threw deep but w as picked off by corner back Willie Clark on an underthrow n ball. Clark re ­tu rn e d th e ba ll to th e N o tre Dame 32 and a late hit penalty gave the Irish the ball at the 47.

Notre Dame could not cash in on the field position and w as forced to punt. After a touch-

back, the G ators again began th e ir a ssa u lt on the Irish d e ­fe n se . M a tth e w s h it W illie Jackson for gains of 14 and 18

yards, bu t the drive stalled at the Notre Dame 9. Gator kicker Arden Czyzewski then made the first of his Sugar Bowl record five field goals, giving Florida a 10-0 advantage.

Clint Joh n so n a lm ost b roke the ensuing kick re tu rn , giving the Irish good field position at the Notre Dame 48. Again the offense stalled and was forced to punt.

T h e h ig h -p o w e re d “A ir Spurrier” offense again took the field an d m a rc h e d dow n the field. M atthews was getting all day to throw, but was forced to check off many times and throw to the sho rte r routes. The Lou Holtz installed “bend but don’t b reak” defense again forced the G ators into settling for a field goal.

The Irish offense finally got on the scoreboard. Mirer audi- bled on a second and one play, and hit an open Lake Dawson w ho th e n s tre a k e d dow n the rig h t s ideline for the 40-yard score.

On the kickoff, Craig Hentrich re in ju re d h is k n ee , an d w as fo rc e d to le a v e th e gam e . L uck ily fo r th e I r is h , K evin Pendergast made the trip down to New Orleans as a vacation, bu t now he would be the only real kicker Notre Dame had.

A fter a M irer in te rc e p tio n , Florida added another field goal to make the half time score, 16- 7.

The Irish had to feel tha t they h a d d o d g ed th e b u lle t , an d w ere still in a game that could have go tten out of hand . The

G a to rs h a d b e e n in s id e th e Notre Dame 20 four times and only came away with 16 points.

“We had our chances offen­sively,” explained Florida coach S teve S p u rr ie r . “We h ad the chance to score 50 points but

we didn’t.”Holtz felt that the Irish could

run on Florida and that became his second half gameplan.

“We w ent back to Notre Dame football,” said Holtz. “We have to get in a rhy thm on offense

and we did tha t in the second half."

He w asted no time in im ple­m e n tin g it , as N o tre D am e came out with nothing but ru n ­ning plays to s ta rt the second

ND shooting woes vs. NCBy RICH SZABOSports Writer

NEW YORK CITY—T he N o tre D am e m e n ’s basketball team could not have picked a better time for its finest perform ance of the season than last Saturday, when the Irish upset eighth-ranked North Carolina 88-76 at Madison Square Garden.

After starting out 1-5 on the season, the win over the Tar Heels was Notre Dame’s third straight, two of w hich w ere over ran k ed team s, to pull th e ir record to 4-5.

Said Irish coach John MacLeod, “Today was the tim e to c a tc h C aro lin a , r ig h t b e tw een tw o big conference games. This is a m ajor boost for us. Our de use held us up and we kept banging the ball to the ipen man. I like w hat I’m seeing here .”

A g a in s t C a ro lin a , th e I r is h , led by s tro n g perform ances by LaPhonso Ellis, Daimon Sweet, and Elmer Bennett, never trailed and were last tied at 10-10 early in the first half. The Irish jum ped out to a quick 8-2 lead, but the Tar Heels’ George Lynch leri an 8-2 run to tie the score at 10-10.

ter Ellis, who fin ished w ith a gam e-h igh 31 po ts, b u ried a th re e -p o in te r an d co n v erted a thi -point play, the Irish led 18-14. Sweet, whose 30 points was a career high, stuffed a dunk off a Kei'h Tower rebound and scored a bucket on the fas oreak to up the lead to seven points, at 24-17.

Working both a fast-paced transition game when possible and a methodical half-court offense as well, the Irish kept North Carolina at bay throughout the remainder of the half. Ellis had a pair of dunks off assists from Tower, and the Irish w en t into the locker room w ith a 40-35 lead . The Irish shot a strong 64.3% in the first half, with Ellis pumping in 19 points. Notre Dame held C arolina to only 50

Ellis, Sweet, Bennett end Coach returns to Garden,

NEW YORK CITY— Last s e a s o n so m e p e o p le questioned John MacLeod’s coaching style as the New York Knicks struggled to a 39-43 record, 32-35 under MacLeod. They w ere then sw ept by the Chicago Bulls in th e f i r s t ro u n d o f th e playoffs.

MIKE SCRUDATOSports Writer

After the season MacLeod resigned to becom e coach a t N o tre D am e, a n d th e Knicks hired Pat Riley to replace him. Riley has led to Knicks to a 21-11 record and first place in the Atlantic Division. Because of this, a lot of New Yorkers seemed to forget who John MacLeod was.

On Saturday, he re tu rn ed to M adison Square G arden to rem ind them . This time no one was seco n d -g u essin g him , as h is team dom in a ted North Carolina in its 88-76 win.

“I was looking forward to coming back to New York,” MacLeod said. “I’m very comfortable in the Garden. There were times last year I w asn’t, but it is good to be back and see some of the people I dealt with last year.”

The victory, which NBC announcer A1 McGuire called “the biggest upset” he had seen in his 14 y ea rs of b ro ad castin g , show s the tu rn a ro u n d Notre Dame has made since December.

I he Observer/Andrew McCloskeyLaphonso Ellis skies over North Carolina's Eric Montross in Notre Dame’s 88-76 shocker at Madison Square Garden.

“It's amazing after seeing them [the Irish] early, and then seeing them now,” North Carolina coach Dean Smith said after the game. “John MacLeod has done an excellent job .”
