What's the value of a clean record? Employers, graduate schools, military services, professional licensing boards, immigration authorities-- the gate keepers to most of the good things in life --look carefully at your record. Many students will be arrested this year alone due to stepped-up efforts to control alcohol usage, private residence occupancy and noise, just to name a few.

Most of the citations you receive from the University or Newark police are reported as criminal arrests. An arrest record will surely turn up in the future: on background searches for employment, F AFSA applications, even when applying for a passport.

Grace Wills' and King's final games as members of the team. "They are two great seniors that we are losing, and we wanted to go out and play hard for them," McCartney said. After the game, Delaware head coach Kateri Linville spoke about this season, as well as next year's squad. "Gracie and Blair are the heart and soul and showed so much leadership the last few days," Linville said. "They will be missed, but we have a lot of young players coming in, so I'm looking for our returning players to set the tone and use the experience they gained this season." · Freshman goalkeeper Alex Zaugra is one piece Linville plans to build around. Her seven saves slowed the George Mason offensive attack, and she finished the year with 124 stops. Patriots senior midfielder Emily Ellison scored four times in her final game, and junior Allie Hilderbrandt added two goals and an assist for the visiting team. Sunday's victory was another important learning experience for the young Hens team, which returns eight sophomores and six freshmen looking to build on victories like this one next season.
