To combat the problem of cheating on campus, the Aca­ demic Expectations workshop was set up last year during Ori­ entation Week to help students understand what is academically expected of them at USF. Susan Prion, assistant to the academic vice president, said the academic workshop was in re­ sponse to faculty's complaints of students cheating. "It's part of the new student orientation. The idea for the pro­ gram started about a year ago and is a pro-active and positive way to talk about academic dis­ honesty," Prion said. However, Peter Wong, last year's president of the Commit­ tee on Student Academic Hon­ esty, said that only three cases of cheating were presented to the Chevrolet Cavalier Chevrolet S-10 Pickup committee last year. In the conduct and disciplin­ ary procedures section of the Fogcutter, the student handbook, the student academic honesty policy and procedures states that "the most common offenses committed by students whose cases are heard by the Commit­ tee on Student Academic Hon­ esty include plagiarism, cheating (primarily on exams)...."

Yeah sure, everybody is expected to have a "down" year or an "off" year, but not for every athletic team in a pro­ gram. Let's start with men's basketball, which of all Dons' teams suffered the biggest changes in the offseason, los­ ing seven key players to graduation or fulfillment of eligibility, three of whom were starters. This impact could summarize the Dons' season; a young, inexperienced team that has a few years to build into a competi­ tor, but finished 12-18 overall and 4- 10 in conference in their first year. Beware of this team, maturity and teamwork will bring this basketball program back to the tournament in a year or two, a place where it needs to be year in and year out. Basketball had an unfortunate amount of seniors last year, causing them to have a disappointing season, but what about the other 11 pro­ grams that had horrendous seasons. Where do we as fans look for an­ swers? Do we go straight to the top of the athletic department, or to poor recruiting by the coaches of these teams? This athletic season has been one of great change for USF. Teams such as Women's Volleyball and Women's Tennis were represented by mostly inexperienced freshman. A few years and these teams should be compet­ ing very strongly in the West Coast Conference. As an example, the Women's Volleyball team was com­ prised of six freshman out of their nine players and ended their embar­ rassing season with one victory in 30 tries and no conference wins. As these players mature and come to play together as a team, these num­ bers will continue to improve. This seems to be the ongoing theme of USF sports: start young and build the teams into contend­ ers. But, this means that fans will have to wait every three to four years for every team to contend. Basket­ ball had its moment in the spotlight last year, baseball had a year to re­ member and one to forget this year, our soccer programs seem to be stuck in a free-fall for the past few years, women's tennis was streaky this year and have high expectations for next year and men's tennis has a few years until it will be competitive. So, which team will stand above the rest next year at USF? Will it be the team that is on their "up" year, em*rv like soccer or will it be a snoozer, like the 1997 Men's Basketball West >'s or bachelor's degree between 1Q/t/97 and 1/3/00 or be currently enrolled in graduate school.

Foghorn 1998-1999 Staff Profile

02. We have designs on a lot of things at the Foghorn. We have designs on creating critical dialogue on campus, pursuing our leftist agenda and getting to sleep before the sun rises on Wednesday morn­ ing. We have deigns on making our paper look smart, stealing as many trays from World Fare as possible, and waking up our advisor at 12:20 in the morning with questions about leads. It has been a great year, and despite an issue or two that came out a day late, we did it the way we designed. Sure, there was drama along the way. Okay, a lot of drama. But when we look back on Volume 95, we'll all remem­ ber badgering Lori Varlotta for a quote or two, trying to figure out where the point of the Scene story was buried and trying to find where Les had disappeared to. We'll also remember our online edi­ tion, no, wait, we won't remember it. But we will remember Alex and David leading the office in explicit discussions about sex (what else)?, dishing the gossip on everything and everyone on campus (they don't call us the Gossiphorn for nothing), and stalking really, really (in retrospect) mediocre love interests. So we end the year with a look back at the staff that made it all happen. The kids who created me­ dia, created change and created a legacy of ORL exposes, poster designs about school supplies and Michael Lowery. Wait, forget that last bit.

01. David J. Gudelunas 06. David tried taking control his freshman year when he told the Foghorn 02. Managing Editor staff a thing or two about how a newspaper should look. Assuming actual 03. Senior 04. Communication authority as a section editor his sophomore year was his first step up the leftist ladder as he made it his goal to put the words "queer," "gay", and 05. Palm Desert, California "fabulous" in all the headlines. He even doubled his Foghorn desk as LGBT mi mini ii min um i headquarters. Coining the office phrases "It's all about me!" and "We put out!," David made good use of his time in The City and at USF. Movin' on up to the East Coast, David will be getting his piece of the pie at Penn next year.

01. Les Shu 06. As of press time Les was still searching for his prized Hello Kitty 02. Editor-in-Chief doll and Gilligan hat. Despite the personal strife, Les trudged on as the 03. Junior 04. Communication Foghorn's fearless leader, often times controlling operations from his 05. Arcadia, California Lone Mountain pad. Feeling guilty that the Foghorn wasn't enough of a burden, Les also went on to be EIC for the Hilltopper magazine, an ill mini ti mil nin i experience that made Les realize that dealing with Foghorn divas is not half as bad as he had earlier suspected. Hey Les, you did it. You made it through the year and there were no lawsuits or deaths! *Yet.

01. David and Alex. They are both graduating this May, and damm't, that is enough of a reason to justify a photo montage. As a sentimental aside, David and Alex met during their Fresher year while working on a 01. Pictured above is Les Shu (L) and John Stafford (R).

01. Amy Lam 06. Known to spend the whole weekend trying 02. Design Editor to put Scene together, Amy deserves a medal 03. Sophomore 04. Graphic Design in courage and perseverance. Amy also brought a critical perspective to the Foghorn design 05. Dublin, California team, always calling a drop shadow crap when mi mini ii IIIIII um i it was. Amy was also there to police Lia and help her overcome her addiction to stealing pictures off the Internet (way to go showing her that technique, Amy). Amy claims that she won't return to the Foghorn next year, citing her desire to see some other parts of San Fran­ cisco besides the office and the Graphics Cen­ ter. But, alas, she has yet to be charmed by George. In the meantime, may we suggest brushing up on ways to make 350 words cover an entire page?
