Hope didn’t put the slip on Jude too long because as soon as she got out of the cabin, she passed out. Jude found her, brought her back to the cabin, and watched as she became sicker. Jude raided another cabin and brought back aspirin to bring down Hope’s fever. A little boy saw him, told his father about the sighting, who in turn told Peter. Peter, of course, told no one. We guess the boy’s father forgot about the $10,000 reward for Jude. In his search for money, Jude has contacted the bank where Jack and Jennifer continue to train. Jack almost found out that Peter was behind the account, but thanks to Peter’s quick thinking and hired hacker, just as the name Peter began to appear it was erased by Peter’s hacker.

The New York Rangers were close to a deal History Department presents last week but broke off negotiations after Gretzky The Provost's Series of Distinguished Women Faculty asked for about $7 million a year. Last month, the St. Louis Blues reportedly offered five players but the Kings rejected the overture. According to the latest rumors, the Blues are interested again. The Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs were also said to be in the picture. And even Rangers GM Neil Smith left open the possi­ bility that the team would go after Gretzky again before the March 20 trading deadline: “1 never say never.” Gretzky, who won four Stanley Cups with the Edmonton Oilers before getting traded to the Kings in 1988, has grown disenchanted with the direction of the Los Angeles franchise and has asked to be traded to a contender. African-American Studies At 35, he realizes that he has little time left to Harvard University win a championship. And he knows it probably won’t happen with the Kings, who have missed the playoffs the last two years and may not qual­ ify again this season. Though Gretzky isn’t in Chicago’s plans, Pulford said his team still hopes to make a deal by the deadline.

Toby Biolchini has been a model leader for the Bengal Bouts Now, it’s his time to By TIM SHERMAN Associate Spore Editor 66th A nnual For some, it may be just a hobby to pass the time and stay in shape, while others may look |N at it as a neat way to have some fun while contributing to society. For Toby Biolchini, Bengal Bouts are a bit more serious. As a p matter of fact, the annual boxing tournament which begins this Sunday is on his ultimate to-do-list. Bengal Bouts “One of the things on my list of things to do before I die is to win the Bengal Bouts," said Biolchini. Through his first three years as a partici­ pant, he has yet to achieve that distinction. However, his contributions to the Bouts*can be measured in things far greater than KO’s and decisions.
