Laßouche backers boo debate exclusion

Collegian Staff Writers
PITTSBURGH While the three Democratic
candidates for president debated the issues last
night, representatives of a fourth candidate at
tacked the League of Women Voters for not
allowing "the American people to hear his point
of view."
Lyndon H. Laßouche Jr. was refused a request
for a preliminary injunction forcing the league to
include him in last night's debate. Allegheny
County Common Pleas Court Judge Silvestri
Silvestri ruled Wednesday that Laßouche's con
stitutional rights had not been violated because
the league was not obligated to invite him.
Laßouche is the advisory chairman emeritus
of the National Democratic Policy Committee,
one of the fastest growing political action com
mittees within the Democratic party. According
to campaign literature, he has won the endorse

By unanimous vote, the committee
sidetracked two "resolutions of inqui

documents he had sought.
Shannon drafted the resolutions,
demanding classified papers about d'

Gary Hart's and former Vice President Walter

Their policies, he said, assume an eventual end to
heavy industry and emphasize a move , to high
technology, service and communication indus
tries.
Freeman, who said he has been working as
campaign coordinator for Laßouche since 1976,
estimated that Laßouche has spent $1.2 million
during the 1984 political campaign.
Freeman called for nationalization of the steel
industry as a last resort, the way President
Harry Truman did in declaring a war-emergency
economy, putting 600,000 people back to work. In
the meantime, Freeman called for nationalizing
the Federal Reserve and forcing the government

Candidates file complaint
with USG Supreme Court
By MARK DIANTONIO
Collegian Staff Writer
The Undergraduate Student Gov
ernment Supreme Court received a
complaint yesterday from one of the
five, pairs of candidates who ran for
the USG presidency.
USG Supreme Court Chief Justice
Joe Schaper said USG presidential
candidate Danielle Mowery filed a
complaint stating that because a sec
tion of the USG Apportionment and
Elections Code Act Was violated, she
and her running mate, Kirk McNeil,
want to be reimbursed for their cam
paign expenses. •
The complaint focused on the fact
that the USG Senate did not approve
the USG election court. Approval
must be made, according to the act.
Mowery said her team wants about
$3OO it spent on the campaign re
imbursed by USG because "the elec
tions commission didn't hold up to
their side of the contract" by not
following election rules.
Mowery said she and McNeil cam
paigned thinking the rules would be
followed. But because they weren't,
the pair would like "some kind of
compensation" for money spent
while they'were under the impression
that the election was being run legiti
mately.
However, Mowery said she does not
want a re-election "because that
wouldn't help USG at all."
The USG Supreme Court is "the
first resort and last resort" for any
complaints about elections because
that court replaced the USG election
court, Schaper said.
Schaper said the election of Adam
Levinson and Beth Saylor as USG
president and vice president, respec;
Lively, will stand. The • court over
which he presides will decide Sundak
whether Mowery's complaint is valid.
Only one complaint was submitted
to the USG Supreme Court despite the
many allegations and questioning of
election procedures during the con-;
troversia I election.
Presidential candidate Randy
Scott, whose accusations of corrup
tion against Levinson and Saylor
were said to be unfounded by the now
defunct USG elections court, said he
did not submit his allegations to the
new court because the USG Supreme
Court would "protect its own inter'
ests."
He said because the USG Supreme .
Court is chosen by USG executives
and approved by the USG Senate, re-'
submitting his allegations "would be,
a case of the mouse guarding the
cheese."
Saylor denied Scott's assumption
and said Schap' was selected by the
former USG presidetnt and vice presi='
dent for a lifetime term. She said she
and USG president Emil Parvensky
selected no more than four of the
nine-niember court.
Mowery said she and McNeil did
not file a complaint concerning the'
choice of debate panel ,members be
cause "there's no need tb focus on
past arguments."
- Vice presidential candidate Keith
Kirk, who also questioned the panel
member selection, said he and his
running mate, Rocco Russo, chose
not to pursue the issue because "the
voters have made their choice and we
intend to respect that choice."

Lady laxers rout West Chester
By PATTI SILVESTRO
Collegian Sports Writer
No one knows the benefits of
home-field advantage better than
the women's lacrosse team.
Penn State is almost invincible on
Lady Lion Field with only one loss
in seven years there. And yesterday
was no different.
The Lady Lioris added another
victory to their sparkling record by
whipping West Chester by a 15-3
margin. Penn State set the pace
early in the game when captain
Besty Williams scored the first goal
at the 4:26 mark. From then on, it
was all Penn State.
While the defense held the Lady
Rams (2-3) to only one goal in the
first half, the offense chalked up
another six gosals. The Lady Lions
led West CheSter 7-1 at intermis
sion.
"We knew from the beginning
that we'd be pretty tough," Penn
State Head Coach Gillian Rattray
said. "I think we are ahead of where
we were last year."
Penn State suffered a 12-11 loss to
Temple last year at this time, but
last Tuesday the No. 3 Lady Lions
edged the No. 1 Lady Owls 6-5 at
Temple. Rattray, said she was glad
the Lady Lions had• the chance to
improve their attack after the
Temple game..
"I was glad we were able to work
a lot more on the attack because
with Temple we had trouble running
our plays. With the (West Chester)
zone we were able to work on our
plays and work out some of the
troubles we were having," Rattray
said. "Our attack didn't play as well
as we had hoped today, but we had
some nice passes we had enough
to beat them."
Penn State showed West Chester
Lady laxer
By RICK STOUCH
Collegian Sports Writer
One of the mystery contestants, otherwise
known as a spring - sports teal* finally made its
first official Penn State appearance yesterday as
the women's lacrosse team took on West Chester
at Lady Lion Field.
The No. 3 Lady Lions wasted no time familiar
izing themselves with their home turf and then
quickly got acquainted with the West Chester
goal by taking a'7-1 halftime lead and rolling to a
15-3 win, their fourth against no losses.
Yesterday's contest, besides being the first
home game of the season, was also the first of the
season in which Penn State Head Coach Gillian
Rattray used substitutes and made a line-up
change.
Doreen Schlater, Suzy Friedrich and Leslie
Monteith saw their initial action of the 1984
USA-USSR battle in another sport
By CHRIS LINDSLEY
Collegian Sports Writer
USA versus the USSR
Immediately the average sports
fan thinks of Lake Placid, New
York, and the 1980 Winter Olympics
where an underdog American hock
ey team defeated the dominant
Soviets 4-3.
But at 1 p.m. Sunday in Rec Hall,
the sport contested will be freestyle
wrestling, another Olympic sport at
which the Soviets reign supreme.
Different from the more con
trolled collegiate style most Ameri
cans are familiar with, freestyle
wrestling emphasizes domination
and the action is much faster.
Scoring is also different, as no
points are awarded for riding time
or escapes, and only one point is
given for a takedown or reversal.
But one thing about the match
will be much the same for Lion
fans: the presence of Penn State
graduate assistant Rich Salamone,
who will be wrestling at 105.5, and
118-pound national champion Carl
DeStefanis, who will go at 114.5.
And while most people knOvi
about DeStefanis, who has made
his mark with the Lions over the
last four years, Salamone is some
what of an unknown.
But in freestyle circles, the 1989
national open champion is well-re
spected, and is currently right up
there with former . Lehigh Universi
ty wrestler Bobby Weaver for the
Olympic berth at 105.5.
Salamone, who has been wres
tling freestyle since 1978, is confi
dent both about his chances this
weekend and of making the U.S.
team.
"I've never beaten a Russian
before, but this time I think I can be
right up there," Salamone said.
"I've been wrestling really well
lately, and I think my chances of
making the (Olympic) team are
pretty good."
For DeStefanis, he's just glad to

goals, with-captain Betsy Williams

nation of Marsha Florio with Beth

two more goals. Maggy Dunphy,
with an assist from Florio, gave the
Lady Lions their 7-1 lead at inter

campaign and third home Beth Thompson and
second home Marsha Florio switched spots for
the first half. '
Ftattray said despite having two lopsided wins
earlier this season, she wanted to wait until after
last Tuesday's game against Temple to make
these moves.
"Before we felt we had to get some continuity
of players and some feel for each other as a
team," Rattray said. "We were working toward
the Temple game in the other two, and now that
we've gotten past that one hurdle, we're now
working to get some substitutes time in case we
have some injuries.
"It's also good for starters to move positions so
they don't just get used to one position and panic
when they have to move to another," she added.
"I think they did a good job today."
For Monteith and Schlater, the action was their
first ever with the varsity. Thus Monteith had her
be getting the chance to wrestle. He
found out just a week ago that he
would be wrestling and that, in
addition to the fact he's had only
limited experience in freestyle
competition, makes him no less
determined to win.
In addition to DeStefanis and
Salamone, three current National

champions will also be going for the
United States, which as a team is
picked right behind the USSR as the

world.

thought they would play us with a
tighter zone and a more pressurized
zone and they didn't do that."
She said the zone was much looser
than the team had expected and the
Lady Lions were able to take advan
tage of it. They moved the ball
nicely throughout the game.
First home Florio added that she
thought the offense did well on its

Spikers looking
By JOHN WEISS
Collegian Sports Writer
With the Eastern Collegiate Volleyball
Championships just two weeks away, the men's volley
ball team had better find a way to play consistently
good ball through a stretch.
The Lions (17-9) played solid ball in a tough 3-2 loss at
No. 7 George Mason two weeks ago, produced some of
its worst then best play of the season at the Ball State
Classic last weekend, and then looked anything but
sharp this past Tuesday night in a 3-1 win over Indiana-
Purdue at Rec Hall.
Now, Penn State faces the challenge of trying to gear
itself up for a team that it manhandled earlier in the
year when it hosts Rutgers-Newark at 7 p.m. tomorrow
at Rec Hall.
A challenge? From a team the Lions swept on its own
home court back on March 10? Penn State Head Coach
Tom Tait sees the possibility.
The coach said less experienced teams, like his own,
find it easy to allow a team's reputation to affect its
approach to the match. And with Rutgers-Newark
possessing a far-from-powerhouse reputation, Tait
isn't ruling out the chance of his Lions taking their
opponent for granted.
"Younger teams have a tendency to let press clip
pings and reputations dictate their approach to the
game," Tait said. "It's a definite possibilty (tomor
row) and it's one that I certainly am going to try to
prevent from happening because it's not helpful to
individual players or to the team to have that happen."
Senior outside hitter Steve Hunkins, who along with
middle blocker,Boris Kaz will be making his final
appearance in Rec Hall, agreed the danger always
exists of taking a lower caliber team lightly, especially
among the younger players.
"I've learned, throughout the years I've been here,
that you can't approach any match in that frame of
mind," Hunkins said. "You've just got to go out and
blow the other team off the court and get it over with."
Hunkins added an additional concern for the Lions is
the up and down play the squad has been experiencing
all season. He said the unpredictability of how the team
will come out playing on any given day could provide
major worries.
"There's always a reason for concern when your
playing inconsistently," Hunkins said. "It's not sur
prising at all. We haven't gotten to the point where the
guys have really played consistently at any point in the
whole season."
But Tait believes the Lions are playing more consis
tently now than they had at the start of the year.

Gymwomen realize
dream at nationals
By SANDY KNAISCH
Collegian Sports Writer
The walls of Judi Avener's office
are covered with a collection of
photographs of gymnasts she has
both coached and been a friend to,
and of championsip teams and
performers.
Sometime within the past two
weeks, Avener, the women's gym
nastics team's head coach, added
another poster to the wall a
picture of a gymnast swinging on
uneven bars with a caption that
reads: NCAA women's gymnas
tics championship, April 6 and 7.
A year ago at this time, after
finishing third in the regional
championship, Avener had her
team in the gym already traning
for this year's competition. Even
back then, the Lady Lions had a•
goal. They wanted to win the 1984
regional championship and qual
ify for the national championship.
Two weeks ago, Penn State
scored a season high 184 to beat
out six other teams at the North
east Regional Championship and
realized that goal.
Competing in Los Angeles for
the national title is a dream come
true for Avener and her team and
the poster on her wall is a remind
er that it's a reality.
"We've really been savoring our
victory at regionals," Avener
said. "We worked so hard for that,
since the day after regionals last
year.
"To sacrifice as much as we
have and to dedicate everything
we had toward that goal it would
have been unjust to not give our
selves the chance to enjoy the
victory. We really spent that time
treasuring the victory. The team
earned that victory.
"Our goal was to get to nationals
and to give ourselves the opportu
nity to do a good job," she added.
"We have nothing to lose, we have
everything to gain. We're excited
just to be there."
So Penn State packed up and
flew to Los Angeles this week,
seeded sixth out of 10 teams. The
seeding itself doesn't mean too
much to Avener because the tea
ms are ranked according to their
regional scores and a composite
score. Since the Lady Lions gave
an exceptional performance at the
regional meet, they are , placed
fairly high.
Penn State has already corn
peted against No. 1 ranked Uni
versity of Utah, which had a
seeding score of 188.066, No. 2 Uni
versity of Florida (187.7375), No. 3

No. 4 Arizona State (185.508),
No. 8 University of Arizona
(181.8375) and No. 10 Alabama
(180.75).
Having seen her competition
perform, Avener has a better idea
of what the team has to do to keep
pace with the other squads.
"We recognize that the top four
teams are really in a different
league," she said. "They have
more difficulty and more depth
and they're more consistent then
we are.
"I think we are under the im
pression that there is no way we're
going to crack into the top four. We
hear that No. 5 ranked UCLA is on
par with the other teams. What
remains to be seen is how high we
can place in the next five.
"I think that our seeding score
shows that we're the Sixth best
team in the country, but I'm not so
sure that's accurate," she added.
"We barely squeaked by Universi
ty of Arizona at the Cat Classic
and Alabama beat us when they
were depleted. Our goal is just not
to go there and take last."
Another factor that gave Avener
a clue as to how to prepare her
team is the all-around competitors
who were given wildcard bids.
Among those performers are No. 1
Lisa Shirk from Pitt, who placed
second behind Pam Loree at the
regional meet, and No. 7 Alisa
Spectre, also from Pitt.
Diane Carlin from New Hamp
shire, who is ranked 10th, also
competed at the regional meet.
The strengthened regional rep
resentation shows that the north
east is a national power in
gymnastics, Avener said.
The team started working out
for the nationals last Wednesday
in the the same way it did for
regionals by polishing up.
Avener said she didn't overlook
the need for a balance between
work and what she called "enjoy
ing the fact that you earned the
right to do a good job.
"You have to feel like you
worked hard enough to do a good
job," she explained. "If all you do
is work you
_tend to not put as
much energy and effort into each
day.
"Each workout doesn't have the
same significance. If you give
them a few well placed days off
they come back having missed the
gym and they come back wanting
to work hard."
The outcome of the meet is of
minor importance to Avener. Get
ting the chance to compete at the
nationals seems to be the the only
thing on her mind.
