RADIO'S "GREASEMAN " INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED FOR DRAGGING REMARK WASHINGTON -A shock jock is off the air indefinitely after a controversial remark surrounding the racially motivated dragging death of a Jasper, Texas man. The "Greaseman," whose real name is Doug Tracht, was in the midst of his Wednesday morning WARW radio show when he played part of a song by hip-hop star Lauryn Hill. He then said "no wonder people drag them behind trucks." The reference earned him an immediate suspension without pay from the CBS-owned station. Station management won't say if " Greaseman" is in danger of being fired, but they told the Washington Post there are "a lot of alternatives available." Tracht faxed a statement to the paper saying he is "truly sorry for the pain and hun" his comment caused. "Greaseman" is a long-time radio fixture in the nation' s capital. He has also had stints in New York and Los Angeles.

What costs society $44,193 a minute? (answer) ... check your speedometer as you drive home! Exceeding the posted limit or driving too fast for conditions is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes. Speed is a factor in nearly one-third of all fatal crashes. Speed-related crashes cost society more than $23 billion a year.*

Too few drivers view speeding as an immediate risk to their personal safety or the safety of others.

injury." Despite the parade of ailments, Shillinglaw said he feels everybody will be ready for the regular season. "Our defense looks good," Jedlicka said. "Everybody is back from last year." Jedlicka said John Ciliberto, a transfer from Essex Community College, is expected to make an impact right away. Last season he was named a junior college All-American defenseman. In addition, midfielders Jay Motta and Dennis DeBusschere return to take over the team's face-off duties. "Jay will see quite a bit of playing time," Shillinglaw said. "He ran second midfield last season, and his contributions were sig­ nificant for us." Regular-practices have been possible with the addition of the new Fred P. Rullo Stadium. "Last season we had to use the field house," Shillinglaw said. "The [ActionTurf surface] has its drawbacks, but it is great for working on strategies." Shillinglaw said every game is important for the Hens if they hope to make it to the NCAA championship. "We play five or six teams in the top 20," he said. "We need to be on our toes for all of them." And those teams will be expecting tough competition due to three national lacrosse magazines ranking Delaware in the top 20. The Great Atlantic Lacrosse Company poll ranked the Hens lOth. ·Inside Lacrosse gave Delaware the No. 13 spot, while Face-Off Maga<.ine ranked the Hens at No. 19 The Hens will host 9 of their 15 games in Rullo Stadium, including seven night games. Delaware opens the season Tuesday with a home game against Gannon University at 7 p.m.
