Afterward, McDonough ex- pressed his opinion that business issues in sports should remain a major topic of discussion. “Themajor issues in allofsports right now are where the teams are going to be, how much are you going to pay foraticket, and what’s the future for the game,” he said. Harrington addressed a num- ber of questions regarding baseball’s attempts at a new col- lective bargaining agreement in which he has taken a leading role in negotiating. According to Harrington, the current financial system in base- ball is unacceptable. “Right now, there is a huge economic disparity between the clubs,” the Red Sox CEO said. “If you look at the four teams which EVERYONE~LGIVEYOU are playing now, they have the four highest payrolls.” Expressing a strong desire to THEIRTWOCNTSWORTH,BUTwIul get the labor situation in baseball resolved soon, Harrington criti- THATBEENOUGHTORETlREON? cized the behavior of both the owners and players over the past oday there seems to be an investment expert or And we’re nonprofit, so our expense charges are few years.

- Tufts failed TLGBC continued from page 3 the Senate. Perhaps the Senate would question why Charlene Waldron, the director of the LGB Resource Center, is the only resource cen- ter director who is only part-time. Maybe the Senate would take it upon themselves to push the ad- ministration to make her position full-time, so that she will be able to have more than two office hours a week for the students who need her services. Or maybe the Senate would look into the channels they need to go through in order to implementa Gay & Lesbian Stud- ies program here at Tufts. One simple task the Senate could have handled last year would have been pushing for campus-wide sensi- tivity training after the LGB Re- = source Center experienced three separate incidents of vandalism. Yet, because these don’t seem to be as important as Spring Fling, they go on unaddressed by the Senate, and it is up to the queer students, alone, to push for any kind of change. After a short amount of time, queer students on this campus get exhausted of trying to do all the things that the Senate could be doing, in addi- tion to being students, while still trying to have a life. Writing this will change noth- ing. Minority students will con- tinue to struggle to get their con- cerns addressed. The Senate might feign interest in our needs for a little while, and then go back to doing what is easy: Represent- ing themselves and not their con- stituents. I hope, however, that this might cause some people to better understand why the culture rep amendment was important, and why minority students on this campus might feel betrayed, again. Success soon? TENNIS continued from page 7 out the victory, falling 8-5. “We played really aggres- sively,” commented Ken-. The match was stopped be- cause ofrain with the Jumbostrail- ing4- 1. Mugarand Meo were both involved in tight three-set battles when the skies opened up. The bright spot of the after- noon, certainly not the weather, was freshman Meena Thever. “Meena is really settling down. She is playing well and very ag- gressive. UConn was a huge match for her,” praised Watson. Tufts has some time off be- cause of a canceled match with Harvard. The team is looking ahead to matches versus Trinity and Williams, andto theNESCACtour- ney.

LL We’re going to get some good practice and heal up,’’ said Tracy Treger. Watson spoke highly of his young squad saying, “They have all improved, nowtheyjust need a little confidence.” “We have had some bad luck this season. But 1 think we will perform well these last two weeks *; *; and. especially at NESCAC’s. That’sour overall goa1,”remarked Krasl in.
