Irish Extra - Inside IRISH EXTRA - INSIDE VOL. XXI, n o . 33 FR1DAY-SATU RDAY, OCTOBER 10-11 , 1986 the independent student newspaper serving Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s Affirmative action fails, says rights chairman By CINDY RAUCKHORST Senior Staff Reporter The chairman of the U.S. Com­ mission on Civil Rights told Notre Dame law students yesterday that affirmative action, as inter­ preted by today's government of­ ficials, actually stands in the way of equal opportunity. "What was originally planned as a way to 'legislate' fairness has come to be a race, gender, and ethnic origin spoils system," Chairman Clarence Pendleton said. According to Pendleton, 55, the affirmative action program began in 1965 with "the best of intentions" but later "went sour" when presidential administra­ tions defined it in numerical terms such as goals' and quotas.' "It was intended that these laws and court decisions would create a level playing field. Hot one that tilts for the benefit of w, , Color pro vided by Anheuser-Busch, Inc.

  • Overall Defense Strategy – Hands 33 to 40
    Overall Defense Strategy – Hands 33 to 40 Defending a part score usually calls for “Active” defense whether it is doubled for penalty or not. If left alone, declarer may be able to formulate the best line of play and fulfill the trick taking potential of their combined assets. The defense can never lose sight of the defensive tricks needed to defeat the contract and how to win them. Active defense is exciting but also fraught with danger. Players tend to panic when their partner doubles a part score contract for penalty and then she is counting on you to find the right defense! These are “Top or bottom” situations at any form of scoring; if they make the doubled contract, you get a zero and if you defeat them, it is usually a good result for you. With so much at stake, both defenders need to muster as much composure as they possibly can. Still, it’s only a game. Occasionally, a lucky lie of cards may let the doubled contract slip through your fingers but such is life. Forget that hand and go on to the next one. The double may not be costly after all. It may be a bad board anyway even without the double. Worse yet, they make an overtrick. Well, that doesn’t matter either. A bottom is still a bottom. Here are a few general guidelines that should help the defense. Partner’s double tells you something about the whole hand. She thinks enough defensive tricks should available based on what is in her hand and what you promised during the bidding in order to defeat the contract.

  • (ETM) Victory a Weak Notrump System © 2002 ETM Information Services Inc
    ETM Victory Everything That Matters (ETM) Victory A Weak Notrump System © 2002 ETM Information Services Inc. (Canada) Release 2.3i ETMU Victory Introduction and Notes Introduction Everything That Matters Victory is a bridge bidding system developed primarily for playing in general team competitions, such as the popular Swiss team events. These events often use Victory Point scoring (where the result of a match between two teams is assigned a victory point award). The system implements the weak notrump opening in a highly precise method that provides maximum knowledge of the partnership potential on each deal. It is a system with many common sense arrangements, though arrangements that one might not find used elsewhere. Key to the system is the two point ranges used for balanced hands from 15 to 26 (with one partial exception), and a slightly tighter range for opening one trump. The two point ranges allow for accurate decisions by responder on how high to play the hand, and employ many game forcing sequences to find the right contract. The tighter range for opening one notrump means that purely quantitative game invites can be replaced by sequences that find the best game spot. In addition the active upgrade feature of the system upgrades balanced hands with playing value so that good games or slams might be reached even though there is slightly less points than one might normally have to have. Bidding is made easier in the system by bidding balanced hands in one way, unbalanced hands another way. Thus responder knows the nature of opener’s hand and can evaluate properly towards the best contract.
