To the Trinity Community:
I'm terribly sorry to have of- fended the sensibilities (moral or otherwise) of Mr. Simkiss. Placing the condom machine in the library was a deliberate decision made by the Medical Office and the Librar- ian. It in no way condones premar^ ital sex, although it may recognize that it does happen on occasion, possibly even at Trinity. Perhaps if Mr. Simkiss and oth- ers, who think as he does would spend some time in the hospitals and just hold the hand of an adult who is dying of AIDS or hold an infant that is dying for the reason and through no action of its own, he might recognize his total inabil- ity to help. Perhaps then he might be willing to try any method to avoid this situation; sterile needles, con- doms, whatever. It might even be possible that he would take his head out of the sand occasionally. If there is a remote chance that a condom vending machine in the chapel might avoid one death, let's For Your install one immediately.

Most recently she appeared as Anna in it was refreshing to hear some new * with last weekend's production of "The Firebugs." Of course, these are just a smattering of her enormous accomplishments since she has been at Trinity. Perhaps her most magnificent performance was in the one-woman play, "Clytemnestra, or Crimes," which was nominated as one of five of the best student productions in New England. She was also nominated for the Irene Ryan award for best actress. Her talents were awarded last Friday at the Honor's Day ceremony where she received several awards for excellence in theatre. Phoebe distinguished herself as being one of the few performers who was able to bridge the gap between the Music and the Theatre/Dance departments (The Original "Thus," for those in the know). In addition to her stage presence, Phoebe is one of the best known and best loved of the many and varied personalities of the Austin Arts Center. Her smile always warms the hearts of those she greets, and she sparkles whether she is on stage or off. Phoebe has made us laugh, and she has made us cry — and we will cry once again the day she receives her diploma! We are all proud of her accomplishments, and we are sad to see her go. Phoebe, you touched the hearts of all you have known, and you will not soon be forgotten. Phoebe McBride, shown here portraying Emma in "Fefu and Her YOU SHALL REST ... YOU SHALL REST ... YOU SHALL Friends" will be sorely missed after her upcoming graduation.

by Steve Brauer Well the Trin academic year is ending, but in the World of Sports, things never seem to stop or slow down. (Even if College Sports are just about over) The Triple Crown is rolling right along now, the Indy 500 is on the horizon, and more in the mainstream, basketball and hockey are in the midst of their playoffs. And of course baseball is just starting to get going. Personally, I'm not really missing that USFL spring schedule. Let's talk about hoop. Who are you picking? The picks are getting easier and easier, and I'm hearing more and more flack about my pick of the Celtics. But I still believe in them. They had some trouble in Milwaukee sure, but remember, the Bucks have always matched up well with the boys in green. This is nothing new. They should be able to wrap things up in that series, unless McHale cannot keep playing. His ankle is in very bad shape, and Boston will need him if it hopes to go all the way. So who comes after the Bucks you ask? You have to go with Detroit. Atlanta is very tough sure, but they're young and still fairly inexperienced when it comes to the big playoff games. I doubt they can come back and beat the Pistons. Detroit matches up with them too well. Celtics vs. Pistons. You have to pick Boston. They have had the Pistons number for a long time. Vinnie Johnson could be a nemesis though - a couple years back he was unconscious against Boston. But the Celtics front line will be over powering. Take them in six. The Lakers look tough. They are rolling through the West. But Seattle is shocking me. I never thought they were that good. Tom Chambers, Dale Ellis, and the rest of the SuperSonics have come a long way under Bernie Bickerstaff. They are playing at an elevated level, and play an emotional game. The Lakers might have a bit of a scuffle on their hands if they meet Seattle. But it looks like it's Lakers-Celtics. The Men and Women Crew teams traveled to Philadelphia to compete in the annual Dad-Vail Regatta last If Walton can't play, then Boston will lose. The same with McHale. They weekend. , „ will need the whole squad, all the way down to Sam Vincent. If indeed they do meet, it should be a great series. The Celtics can play, and we know L.A. is good. I doubt either team will wipe the other out. But I'm Congratulations To This Year's Champs: staying with my pick. It's too late to back down. I'm looking for Champi- onship #17. I think it's interesting that when we come back in the fall, the pennant races will just be warming up. Right now who knows who will be there? Women's Field Hockey, We've got the whole summer ahead of us. But I think it's appropriate for me to make my predictions about who will be in first come September lst.(Seeing how I'm obviously prone to make predictions) Here goes - The Women's Lacrosse, Yankees, The Royals, The Cardinals, and The Reds. I'm really not sure why I just picked who I did. Those are just reflections of my feelings at the present moment. At another time I might have picked totally different Men's Hockey and teams.
