" photo ot the week Student arrested for disorderly conduct at Klondike Kate's A 22-year-old university student was arrested early Thursday after refusing to leave Klondike Kate's, ac­ cording to Newark police. Police spokesman Lt. Brian Henry said staffers at the restaurant asked the student to leave shortly after 12:30 a.m. because of his disorderly behavior at the bar. The student refused, so employees called police. Officers found the student to be visibly intoxicated, slurring his speech and repeating that Klondike Kate's personnel had no reason to tell him to leave the bar, Henry said. Officers warned the student se~ral times that if he did not exit the bar he would face charges, Henry said. The student refused and was taken into custody on disor­ derly conduct charges.

Weapons used in fight at North Street Two men were arrested Saturday after they allegedly hit each other with a croquet mallet and another type of stick, Henry said. At approximately 3:02a.m., police responded to the unit block of North Street where two men were engaged in a fight with each other involving the two weapons, Henry said.

Sheldon continued to explain this is the cheapest hockey she has even been a part of, but the figures would astound many, paying up to $9,000 as a team out-of-pocket each year. The cost to each member shows their dedication to the game as well as their team. "When all is said and done, as a team we work and mesh really well together," Sheldon said. "This was by far our best season, everyone improved and more moral support from our bench was found crucial." After their improved efforts this season, the team is getting rec­ ognition from all the right people and places to help continue and bet­ ter their success. "I believe our third place win will set us apart as a club team," Sheldon said.
