Kettering fifth-grader

disease known as cystic

running all the way back
to Dayton from Notre

Local ch a pter member
Tim Dev itt said a total of
$6,500 has been raised in

N ominations for students intereste d i n joining t h e sen ate , along
with other students and
faculty, are due March 4
in t he deans ' offices.
"It's really our (the
students') only voice in
governance in the university," said Rospotynski,
a senior who is a member
of the senate.
The senate's actions
this year have included
an evaluation and approval of a new computing ethics policy, inv olvement in forming the
annual academic calendar, and rejecting an
resolution on non-sexist
language.
"Students are apathetic, because of a lack of
knowledge or awareness
about what the senate
is," Rospotynski said.
The academic senate is
the representative university body for university faculty, but the five
student representatives
- one from each school have the same voting
power as the faculty.
Petitions to run for
academic senate must be
signed by 25 students and
five faculty members
from the school in which
the applicant is enrolled.
Forms are available in
the deans' offices.
Elections will be April
8 and 9. All undergraduates will be eligible to
vote.

The UD Arena ticket
office has announced
that students may only
pick up two tickets theirs and someone

Sunday. Students must

Students should only
enter the Fieldhouse
through doors marked
"Notre Dame Student

Furthermore,
no

sold Sunday; instead,
sales will run from 2

Senior Ball tickets
limited in quantity
Mike Airhart
NEWS EDITOR
Last year's Senior Ball
left widespread anger
and disappointment in
its wake when much of
the senior class unexpectedly got interested
and scrambled for fewer
than 200 tickets.
This year, the University Activities Organization is doing everything
it can to make this year's
ball accessible and still
keep it memorable, according to Senior Ball cochairperson Polly Wade.
"We're very concerned,
because last year people
did not realize that there
were so few tickets
available. There are no
facilities available in
Dayton tha can hold the
whole senior class and
their gues ," Wade said.
"I 's a heavy conven ion

Reservations including
a $20 deposit will be
taken from 6:30 p.m. to 9
p.m. March 4 in KU. Two
reservations per person
will be allowed, and
senior-status ID's will be
required for each reservation.
Reservations are on a
first-come, first-served
basis with no refunds or
exchanges permitted.
The ball will be April
10 at the Miami Valley
Country Club. Music will
be provided by the Kim

Making it affordable
The $80 ticket price
may seem steep, Wade
said, but the ball would
be even more expensive
without fund-raisers like
UAO's senior auction to
lessen the burden.
Students, faculty and
staff will compete for expensive items donated to
UAO, according to
Teresa Paumier-Cusma,
assistant director for
University Activities. _
The items up for auc-
tion include:
• A Sunday brunch for
two with business professor Rebecca Yates in
New York.
• One or two used cars
donated by major area
dealers.
• Dinner for six at the
King Cole restaurant
downtown with Vice
President for Student
Development and Dean
of Students William C.
Schuerman.
• A ticket to Dayton-toDaytona.
• An evening with music
professor George Zimmermann, including a
dinner cooked by him.
Cash or checks will be
accepted,
PaumierCusma said, but charge
cards will not._
st aff may apply, though
students usually make
up the majority of applicants.
The program will be
run from the capital city
of Bogota by Catholic lay
people and Mennonites
living in the city. Requirements for those interested include an interest in the political,
economic and religious
causes of poverty and injustice, as well as modern
responses by the church,
world governments, international businesses
and "basic Christian
comm uni ties'' of the
Third World.
Financial support for
the trip is available. Program participants live
with local middle-class
Colombian families.
Other cultural exchange and academic
study trips are available
through the Interdepartmental Summer Study
Abroad Program and
language department
trips to Europe. Contact
the language department
or ISSAP for more information.

Rules needed for PAC swimmers
Currently, the Physical
Activities Center, which
purports to provide
facilities for exercise, has
no regulations concerning pool activities during
the free swim hours.
During free swim
hours, any University of
Dayton student, faculty
or staff member or family member of faculty or
staff, may use the pool.
People using the pool fall
into
two
distinct
categories - those who
swim laps and those who
play around in the water.
The vast majority of pool
users belong to the first
category.
The
minority's
behavior
greatly
disrupts the activities of
the lap swimmers. Often
they come in small
groups and congregate in
one corner of the pool, occupying two or three
swimming lanes.
Their every activity interferes with the lap
swimmers, who, in contrast, keep to their own
lanes and bother no one.
The two groups are incompatible, and as the
lap swimmers are the
majority and are trying
to exercise, the PAC
should heed their wishes .
The PAC administration could take one of
several courses to satisfy
lap swimmers. One
course, which seems to be
the fairest, would be to
establish separate hours
for recreational activities only.
But because so many of
the pool users are lap
swimmers, the pool
would be nearly empty
during recreational
hours.
A better policy would
be to establish and en' force a "No horseplay"
rule; anyone disturbing
the other swimmers
would be asked to leave
by the lifeguards.
The PAC's primary
purpose is to give the
university community
members opportunities
to exercise and improve
their health. People who
go to
the pool to swim
laps should not be
thwarted in their attempts to exercise by
groups of idlers. The
PAC must prohibit the
inconsiderate activities
of these poeple.

=EATuq;::s WRITER
Crea tivity and intact
eggs paid off for a few of
the 11 students who participa · ed in the annual
Egg I>op contest Sunday
in fro 11t of the Kettering
engineering building.
The event was sponsored by the American
Society of Mechanical
Engineers and the Joint
Council of Engineers in
conjunction with the
University of Dayton
Engineer's Week which
began Monday.
The contestants had to
build an apparatus that
would keep an egg from
breaking when thrown
from the building's third
floor windows onto a
target.
Students could only
use rubber bands, paper
and tape in constructing
the contraptions. Also, it
could not be larger than
one cubic foot and weigh
no more than one pound.
Entries were judged by
a panel of senior engineering students on creativity, unbroken eggs
and yolk~, and nearness
to the target.
The entries ranged
from two shoe boxes
taped together and filled
with newspaper to a paper model of the Fuji
film blimp. One model,
built by Dave Quigley, a
mechanical engineering
major, was shaped like a
maple tree seed pod. The
egg was fastened to the
tip of the model.
"It should spin like a
real mapl tree seed and
hopefully the egg won't
break,"said Quigley. The
"seed" did spin and the
egg was intact.
Dan Harning, a mechanical engineering major from Centerville, won
first prize - a Dayton to
Daytona trip. Harning's
design was a hollow cube
made of tightly rolled
paper with a chamber inside supported by rubber
bands to hold the egg.

hit the target, but his creativity and uncracked
egg earned him first
prize.
Harning, 19, said he
spent four to six hours
building his entry. He
was surprised that he
beat out several upperclassmen in the contest.
"I wanted to win of
course," said Harning. "I
thought I had a good
design but when they
moved the target, I lost
some points."
Richard Boltz finished
second. His prize was
seven boxes of Girl Scout
cookies. Boltz's design
consisted of a cardboard
box with a smaller box
inside. The smaller box
was supported by rubber
bands to absorb the
shock of the impact.
Holes in the sides of the
box cut down on wind
resistance and Boltz's
box hit the target with
the egg safely inside.
Bill Paulus, a mechanical engineering major,
won the third place prize
(a .free Milano's sub) for
his missile design. He
had two cups taped together with cardboa rd
fins attached to the sides
to make sure the front hit
first. The egg inside :-,ras
supported only by a tight
roll of notebook p~p~r.
Paulus explained his invention would wor~ ~~
using compressed air
cushion the egg.
"I threw it out of th e
fifth floor (windows) of
Founders. It worked
there last year," Paulus

The UD-Miami of Ohi o
series h as included 102
meetin gs b et ween the
two teams , and Miami
has swept the Flye;s only
11 times. The last time
Miami swept Dayton was
12 seasons ago in 1974-75.
That didn 't stop the
Redskins from handing
the Flyers a 78-74 defeat
to complement Miami's
73-71 overtime victory
earlier in the season.
The Flyers played a
relaxed defense for most
of the game. This left
Miami ' s Todd Staker
open to sink five threepoint shots and finish
with 19 points.
Dayton ' s Anthony
Grant poured in 19 points
before he fouled out with
four and a half minutes
remaining in the game.
Noland Robinson played
well offensively in the
first half with 12 points
at the break . In the second half, he was contained and scored only
two points to finish with
14.

Prior to the Musk ingum match, an excellent outing was turned
in a t the Wittenberg Inv itat iona l Tournament.
D ayt on fini sh ed a strong
t hird in the team standings and had two indi v idual weight class
winners.
Selegue won the 177

captured the heavyweight title. Four others
finished in third place in
their class - Bourke (118
lbs.), Holtz (134 lbs .),
John Flanigan (142 lbs.)
and Dave Truax (167 lbs.)
- while Szendry placed
fourth at 158 lbs.
For the year the team
finished with a 10-13-1
dual match record. With
just three seniors and one
junior on the squad,
coach Tony Pulfer was
more than satisfied by
the overall team performance.
As for next year's
team, Pulfer sees a lot of
potential but stresses
that the graduating
seniors and their leadership will have to be
replaced.
