Here are the Statesmen's basketball schedules, but there are a couple ofcorrections I would like to address from the last issue. Number one: I would like to apologize to the Cheerleading/Dance team which I omitted. How could I exclude the 9 year undefeated CUNY champs? Once again, my sincerest apologies. Number two: I stated that the Ticker Sports Page would follow the Statesmen. I wanted to cover our teams exclusively, but due to popular demand, professional sports will be back. A couple of the columnists from last year have returned, Eric Wright and Ari Hirsch. These two gentlemen will be featured on the inside ofthe backpage, while the Statesmen will dominate the back cover (and hopefully their respective leagues).
