games. He is pleased with their
fast break but admits that the
defense has been lackadaisical at
times and hat their freethrows

their two 1 tsses. Here are the

shopping is whether or not a
cartridge is i lcluded in the price.
A magnetic cartridge is an ad
ditional cost • f $2O-$4O. If you are
opting for o.ie of the compact
stereos it w >uld be worth the
trouble to nake sure it is
equipped wit i a magnetic car
tridge as com oared to a ceramic
one as many ow-priced systems
are. The diffe 1 ence in the qualjty
of sound due to this one small
item is extrer iely noticeable.
The best vay to compare
speakers is just by listening to
them. The a- erage low-priced
speaker systen will consist of a -
8 inch woofer ! or bass responses
and a 14-3 inci tweeter for mid
range and trebi e responses. They
will range in p: ice from $9O-$l5O
per pair. When buying speakers
he sure that tht y are compatible
with your ■ eceiver. Most
speakers require a certain
minimum of po\ -er to make them
(unction and ca l withstand only
so much powi-r output. Buy
speakers which will work well
with the powe* your system
provides.
Perhaps something which is
just as important as vnat you buy
is where you tuy your audio
components. A large audio
specialty store will offer the
widest variety of equipment and
probably the best service if
something should go wrong, but
they have a large inventory
which could keep prices up. Many
appliance and furniture stores
carry a limited supply of audio
equipment. This type of outlet
may be more convenient since
they may be located closer to
vour home than the less abundant
audio stores. A third alternative
are the audio mail-order houses.
These places offer a great
reduction in price, the con
venience of catalog shopping, and
delivery to your door, but be
prepared to go looking for a
repairman if something goes
wrong. Many audio stores don’t
appreciate repairs of equipment
i hey did not sell. Another thing to
remember when you go stereo
shopping is that most stores offer
package deals on systems at a
great savings over buying the
components separately. Keep
your eyes open for these package
deals and sales on over-stocked
equipment.
Hopefully the buying tips in
cluded in this basic guide will be
helpful to those people in the
markei for a stereo system. But
the single best way to compare
audio equipment is by listening to
it with a critical ear. No matter
what type of equipment you buy,
where you buy it, or what you pay
for it. you should always listen
carefully to it and compare it to
the sound of other systems before
buying. After all, the sound you
get and your enjoyment of the
music is what buying a stereo is
all about.

Tuesday, Dec. 13th, Behrend’s
Women’s Basketball team will
open its season against Fredonia
State College. Coach Amy
Atkinson says that Fredonia is a
“a big school,- has a new coach
and has huge players.” She says
that they are usually quite tough
and should be even more so this
year. “Definitely a tough team to
open up against,” says the coach.
The coach has ten players on
her team. They are Leslie
Stinson, sophomore guard, 5’4”,
Erie; Jane Rohrer, sophomore,
wing-forward, s’B”, Towanda,
-N. Y.; Laurie Potter, sophomore
guard-forward, 5’7”, Rockland,
PA; Sue Deck, freshman guard,
5’3”, Erie; Sharon Vinston,
sophomore guard, 5’7”, Pitt
sburgh, PA; Melinda Patterson,
freshman center, 5’10”, Erie;
Gail Downor, sophomore for-'
ward, 5’5”, Union City, PA;
Charmaine Green, sophomore
center, 5’10” Philadelphia, PA;
and Heidi Rudolf, sophomore
forward-center, 5’9”, Pittsburgh,
PA. The coach’s two managers
are Carol Will and Robin
Baulding.
Sharon Vinston, Laurie Potter,
and Heidi Rudolf are the retur-

START
Start Army ROTC during
your freshman or sophomore
year with no military obliga
tion. You’ll find a number of
ways to get started in a
curriculum that’s exciting,
and flexible enough to meet'
your class schedule and
academic needs.

MSgt. Don King
ning lettermen this year. Coach
Atkinson maintains that Sharon
Vinston is an “excellent ball
handler; she moves well and has
the best jump shot on. the team.
She’s quick, smart, and is
definitely an all-round basketball
player. I will depend heavily on
her talents.” As for Laurie
Potter, “she is good on defense,
very “ball-wise,” and anticipates
well. She keeps a cool head when
necessary.”
However, the coach says that
returning letterman, Heidi
Rudolf, “won’t see action ‘till
after Christmas because of a
tonsilectomy over
Thanksgiving.”
What about the rest of the
team? Well, the Coach says that
Cheryl Ramsdell and Melinda
Patterson will share the
rebounding duties. “Both are
very agile and perform
- beautifullyunder the basket, both
offensively and defensively.” So
far, the coach doesn’t know who
her best player is because no
games have been played yet.
However, she does say that the
team is “pretty balanced”, Sue
Deck, Sharon Vinston, and
Laurie Potter play good defense,
and according to the coach,

Patterson “have the ability, to do
damage.”
What are the strengths of the
team? “We don’t have a lot of
strength. We are not necessarily
big, and we don’t have much
denth. At this point, I’d say . our
strength is our camaraderie and
attitude because the girls are still
trying to do their best for me. I
realize that good intentions don’t
necessarily win games, but the
team unity and spirit is an im
portant step in cementing
teamwork out on the court.”
Coach Atkinson says that
“little depth, not too much height,
and a lack of experience (all
freshmen and sophomores
playing juniors and seniors) are
the weaknesses of the team.
Mixed zone and-or man-on-man
will be the offense the coach will
use, “depending upon the defense
we run up against. Likewise, our
defense will depend upon the
certain offenses we meet.”
Does Behrend have a chance to
take championship? “I really
can’t say because I personally
have no idea what level of
competition our league main
tains, since this is my “rookie”
year. It therefore is difficult to
judge this question. I will,
however, say that we have the
potential to give any small,
college team a good run for their
money.”
