Collegian sports 10 Cubs continue to struggle February 6, 1986 by Andy Seneta Collegian Staff Writer The Behrend men's basketball team dropped two games in one week to bring the Cub's record to 4-14. Their inability to shut down opponent's scorers and their lack of offense were the reasons for the Behrend losses. Fredonia State, behind All- American Chris Hughey's 33 points, handed the Cubs a 78-60 setback on Jan. 27 at Erie Hall. The scoring of Hughey and the Cub's inabilty to score in the se cond half were the deciding fac tors in the game. At halftime the Cubs led by a single point 30-29. Going ahead quickly in the second half, the Devils never looked back as they opened up a comfortable lead en route to the victory. Beside Hughey's 33 markers, the Fredonia State attack was mounted by playmaker John Fishetti who bagged 14 points. Center Fred Braggalso scored 10 points with forward John Reinholz coming off the bench to net 12 points. Gary Manuel and Jon Meanor each had ten for the Cubs. Alliance's Barry Tirpak hit six Behrend's Gary Manuel caught during pre-game warmup. r immii.lim mom maw aw.•.• MIN NM IMO I= I STUDENTS NEED GREEN? - 7 R 7 1h Iff•08 7 - -1.:•::- • •-•••,, : .- -) •11,1ofs '6""1gr2211-1.1 • .... : .

He was helped with the scoring load by Ron Richards with 16 points while Shawn Mc- Callister had 14 and Mike Masley 10. The Behrend men once again had trouble scoring in the second half, this time from the outside. The inside game was taken care of by the brothers Gorniak. Gene put 23 points on the board and grabbed another 8 rebounds while Randy hit for 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Cubs will be on the road until the last game of the season. They will be gunning for their fifth win of the season behind th scoring of Randy Gorniak's 11 points per game. Gary Manuel (10.4 ppg) and Jon Meanor (9.25 ppg) will also help the cause on Feb. 22 when the Cubs return home to face Daemon College. If the hoopsters can put together two good halves of basketball, they may very well win the remainder of their games. The 90• Minute Break Plasmatec LTD.

Forget that and pronounce the following word; Uranus. Did you say UR-AY-NUS or UR-UH-NUS? If you grew up in the United States during the last hundred years, I'm sure your instinct was to say UR AY-NUS. If you said UR-UH-NUS, then apparently you have no qualms about the recent "official" pronun ciation change which the televised news media seems to have brought about. Who made this decision? Did the newscasters, fac ed with the continuing story of the Voyager rocket's exploits, simply choose to avoid the possible embar rassment which meek souls feel when pronouncing this risquely structred word? Or did they just fear that keeping a straight face on camera would be im possible when uttering a word which they enjoyed so much as children? Who can deny the glee they felt when raising their hand to inform the sixth-grade science teacher that Attention Students: All Behrend telephone numbers (Buildings, --Departments) are listed - in the Erie Phonebook on page 177 So, instead of calling the operator, consult the director-y!- the seventh planet from the sun was UR-AY-NUS! Are the children of tomorrow destined to trudge through a mundane world which holds no place for amusing words like that? I think it's discrimination, - plain and simple. We've taken words' rights away from them. Suppose people with risque sounding names were made to change them? Zm sorry Mr. Buttman, from now on you're pronounced Boot-man. Where does it end? Will the media continue its bigoted onslaught against all enjoyable obscene terms? Perhaps they'll do away completely with such fun words as titillate and abreast. We may never be able to smile knowingly as someone refers to the televi sion as a boob tube in mixed company. - Ah, sorrow. What price congeniality? Must proper speech eliminate fun talk? Does couth govern everything? Hopefully not. And if it does, "they" certainly can't refer to their word laws as-penile code.
