Building projects on campus appear under the subsection "Visitors and Community,'' accord­ ing to Armitage. Armitage made his remarks in response to criticism from coun­ cilmembers last week when a local resident accidentally found out the University was studying possible replacement of the University lot at Academy and Lovett streets with a multi-level garage. "I apologize I didn't tell you sooner," Armitage told council on Monday, "but we're a ways from any decision, which is sometime in October." City councilmember Thomas Wampler said the University makes a practice of not keeping city resi­ dents abreast of such plans. "At any point, will we be asked for input before a decision is made?" asked Wampler. "We need to fmd a way to make this happen- right now we're left with whatever decision the Uni­ versity has already made." Armitage said an approximately 500-space parking garage is in the planning stage to replace the 180- space lot. "The exact size depends on soil conditions, etc.," said Armitage. "It's 18 months to two years away even if the trustees decide to go ahead with it." Armitage added the garage would be designed to look like some of the surrounding buildings but since they have different architec­ tural styles, it is difficult to say what At Artisans' Bank, our Home Equity Loans are built for you. that would be.

St. Mark's shooting for fourth straight title First team all-staters Ferrante, Flanigan among returners

By CHRIS DONAHUE ...... ~ ...... NEWARK POST STAFF WRITER

When you set the standard for boys high school soccer in the state of Delaware as high as St. Mark's High bas, one of the few things left to do is try to beat or match the successes of previ­ ous Spartans teams. This season, the Spartans will be trying to NEWARK POST PHOTOS BY MIKE BIGGS become the first boys soccer team to win four consecutive championships since the tournament began in 1970. - Last season the Spartans went 18-1-l en route to their eighth title, the most won by any school. It was their 11th appearance in the final in 15 seasons. All eight crowns have been won under bead coach Tom DeMatteis, a former St. Mark's player who is in his 14th season in that position. The Spartans also tried to win a fourth. in suc­ cession in 1993 after winning it from 1990-92, but had their string ended by Salesianum School. But the title run in the early '90s was the ftrst time a team had won three straight. The Spartans' fust two titles were won in '86 and '87. The pattern for each season is often the same: lose some key players, including the leading scorers in the state on several occasions, to grad­ uation, then rely on a deep pool of talent to help fill the ranks. The players then take the first quarter or half of a season to get accustomed to each other, then it's trouble for opponents at tournament time. This season is no different, except for one Pete Ferrante, Adam Flanigan, Stephen Mangat and Will Hohman, major difference - the Spartans will not have who played a key role in last season's state championship team, striker Jason Dzielak to count on.

How can you choo6e a gift they'll keep? NEW YORK (AP) - Couples who find themselves less than enchanted with the wedding gifts they receive often return or "recycle" them, according to a survey commissioned by American Express Gift Checques. Among couples surveyed, 22 percent said they returned gifts, and 32 percent said they "recycled" them, meaning they passed the gift on to someone else. What they like most (55 percent), according to the survey, was money - either cash or gift certificates. In descending order of preference, they also like home furnishings, travel, small appli­ ances, cookware, clothing or personal items, and home improve­ ment equipment or gardening tools. The choices reflect today's lifestyles, according to Hilda Klinkenberg, etiquette and gift-giving expert. "Brides and grooms today want pragmatic gifts that they can enjoy and use to enhance their lifes!yles, a~ well as the time they spend ~ogether."
