Lions win Second Straight
over Stevens Trade
by Mark Israel
Capitol Campus played two
basketball games Friday night.
They won the first one handily,
but they almost lost the second.
Of course, in actuality, the
Lions only played one game, and
they won, beating Stevens
Trade, 78-75. But it shouldn't
have been as close as it was.
After a slow start which saw the
Traders holding a 23-16 lead at
10:54 into the game, the Lions
roared back.
Sparked by a fight between
Jim Merlano and Joe
DiFerdinando (which Merlano
won), Capitol reeled off eight
straight points, mostly from the
foul line to take a 24-23 lead.
They continued to dominate and
outscored the Traders 25-8 in
the last 9 minutes of the first
half, to lead 41-31.
After a brief rest, the second
game began. Led by Tommy
Ogden, Paul Hook, and Bob
Lambert, the Lions opened up a
53-37 lead.
Then, something happened.
The team has not won a road
game in two years, and that old
disease, roaditis, appeared to be
coming back again.
Led by Del Kresier, the
Traders chipped away at the lead
and came back to tie the score at
62 with 7:15 left to play on a
Steve Weaver basket. The
Traders continued to dominate
and built up a 70-64 lead with
just 3:42 to play. It looked as

BASE GYM
The hours for the gym have
been changed for Saturdays
only. Effective immediately the
Base Gym will be open every
Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to
12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m.
WHIRLPOOL BATH
Hours for use--8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. The whirlpool is not
only useful for sprain and strain
injuries----all students, male and
female, should keep in mind the
whirlpool is a very effective
method of relaxing from tension
during exam periods or just the
regular every day stress and
strain.
So, if you find you are having
a problem sleeping at night,
feeling all up-tight---try the
Whirlpool!
Varsity Basketball,
though roaditis had struck again.
But this years' team is
different from the others.
They're tougher and stronger
mentally than any team in this
campus' history. They don't quit
when the going gets a little
rough. And what's more
important, they think as a team,
not individuals.
It was at this point, when
roaditis was about to show it's
ugly face again, that the team
made a decision. They decided
to give the disease the proverbial
finger and play basketball the
way they're capable of.
Baskets by Lambert and
Ogden cut the lead to two,
70-68. A foul shot by Rick
Kopko, and a three-point play
by Ogden cut the lead to 73-72.
Then, with 1:28 remaining,
Kopko, one of the team's most
underrated players, scored to
give Capitol their lead back. Two
more baskets by Hook and Rick
Schropp, the teams' outstanding
junior swing man, clinched the
victory.
This weekend shows a tough
three games in four night
schedule. Tomorrow night the
team is eyeing their rematch
with Spring Garden, whom they
lost to earlier in the season,
76-57. This time around,
everyone connected with the
team is confident the score will
be reversed. Game time is 8:00
PM at the Manin Street Gym,
and admission is free.

STUDENT COURT
are registered with the school.
The fact as to how unusual the
vehicle may appear does not
constitute a reason as to why the
vehicle should be recognized by
the officer giving the ticket. But
it is the responsibility of the
officer to ticket those vehicles
that do not have a sticker.
I interpret the "No Sticker"
section on the ticket referring to
two categories of violation.
(A) The student has not
registered his/her vehicle with
the school. Therefore, he/she did
not receive a sticker to place on
the vehicle.
(B) The student has registered
the vehicle and has received a
sticker, but has not placed the
sticker on the vehicle.
Because the student did not
have the sticker on the vehicle, I
feel the officer was right in
placing the ticket on the car.

(Continued from p. 1)
this sticker_ was a pool sticker
which comes under the Special
Provisions Sections (F) of the
Motor Vehicle Regulations.
There are separate provisions
in these Regulations for both
bumper stickers and for pool
sitckers. There is also included
on tickets issued separate boxes
to be checked for either "No
Permit or Sticker" and "Permit
or Sticker Improperly
Displayed." This leaves no doubt
in my mind that "No Permit or
Sticker" is not to include any
requirements pertaining to
"Permit or Sticker Improperly
Displayed" and vis versa; They
are two separate violations.
Mr. Bowman should not be
held for "prima facie"
evidence--no matter how
troublesome or time
consuming--after such evidence
has been disproved.
Upon this argument I dissent
Justice Larry Olexa argued
that Bowman's "forgetfullness"
Concurring, should have been excused
Ken Sand outright, with the violation
Rick Jordan being totally removed from his
vehicle record.
