UD has gained a lot by having us as a demonstration school because our reputation has really gone national.” It would be hard to believe that on a campus where Marianist val- ues are consistently stressed these student-perpetrated crimes are committed purposely. “I don’t think it’s maliciousness on the part of students,” Picca said. “They just have to think about the consequences their actions can have. They need a gentle reminder that even the littlest Flyers we have here on campus deserve respect from everyone.” Smith remains confident in UD’s student body. “Everyone makes poor deci- sions, and I think that’s what oc- curred here,” Smith said. “I would be shocked if it continues.” One step in the right direction is the fact that the stolen sign was returned within 24 hours of the theft. Officials hope this marks the beginning of the Bombeck Center achieving the respect it deserves. “We are UD and you are UD,” Smith said. “So we are all one big family.

FLYERS HEAD SOUTH Dayton will try to keep its winning streak alive at the Lady Vol Classic BRENDAN HADER Staff Writer After winning the Flyer Invitational last weekend, the University of Dayton volleyball team looks to keep their success going this weekend at the Comcast Lady Vol Classic in Tennessee. The Flyers are slated to play two matches on Friday and one on Sunday in Knoxville. They will be playing No. 17 Illinois in their opener followed by Gardner-Webb and Tennessee. All three teams will be formidable opponents but being in the top 25, Illinois stands out most on the schedule. In their last meeting, the Flyers beat Illinois in last year’s Flyer Invitational to win the tournament, so the Illini will be seeking revenge in Knoxville. The players know that the Fighting Illini will be fired up on Friday, but that is not going to change their approach. “When you have high ranked teams you want to go after them a little harder, but this year we’re working on coming at every team with the same mindset and intensity,” sophomore middle blocker Lindsay Fletemier said. The volleyball team is coming off of their best season in history in which they posted a 33-2 record in 2007. “We’re trying to be just as successful as last year,” Fletemier said. “We have some new players in here and we’re just working hard trying to get the job done.” The biggest change from last year is at the head coach position where Kelly Sheffield has taken over for Tim Horsmon. Horsmon was with the Flyers for the last five seasons.
