Sports 7 Thursday, October 17, 1991 VOLLEYBALL MADNESS by Alicia Lartigue and Stephanie Prachniak Over 5 thousand people watched the Lynx Volleyballers steal the national title and crown from the Washington University Bears this past weekend. Hun- dreds of local news teams fought the crowd to get footage of the Lynx in action. Tori Tangaroni, the San Francisco Treat, said, "I hope that signing all those autographs won't weaken my hitting arms." When asked how it felt to beat the nation's 2nd ranked team, Coach Julie Bowen responded, "I believe the additional 500 sprints in practice has helped a great deal." Along with the victory came a few other surprises, including Worm's record- breaking pre-game service aces and kills. During the team's lunch break, Broden was beaned with a Lambert's "throwed roll" which knocked her clear across the restaurant, sidelining her for the weekend long tournament. Also, Alicia and Stephanie were promoted to President and Vice-President of the Lynx recycling center headquarters, conveniently located in seat #2 with recycling bins strategically placed at either end of the van. Braves Revive Baseball by Trent Taylor "Indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last. "-Luke 13:38 For years, the Atlanta Braves were laughed at as they were kicked around in the National League. Now, though, the Braves have risen from their own ashes much like the mythical phoenix to win the NL West and to take com- mand in the NLCS. It is great to see the once wimpy Braves whipping the former bullies of baseball such as the Dodgers and the Reds. The most remarkable Cross-Country Junior Jeff Bean thing about the Braves is that last year, and virtually every year before that, they were in last place. It is refreshing to see a baseball team such as the Braves win without players who have monster egos and astronomical salaries. One cannot help but love the Braves- this team of Davids attempting to slay the Goliaths- who have taken the scraps from other good teams and fashioned HARRIERS their own good team.

I Ii-I I I Ila I I Rhodes Rat Refuse Recyclers Refute Responsiblity for Riots Campus Green has come out with yet another brilliant recycling idea. "Now that we have glass, can, and paper recycling going," announced co-president, Courtney Schwarten, "we want to recycle the food in the Rat." The organization began this plan by taking food from the Rat to the Mem- phis Zoo, which was placed strategically across the street from Rhodes. However, the zoo declined the gift, stating that "The food is just not fit for animal consumption!" This conclusion was met when the zoo was struck with an unidentified plague that swept the park shortly after the food was served. At first, the cause was unclear, until a witness at the zoo proclaimed, "It must have been something they ate!" When the zoo people called Rhodes to com- plain, they announced that one giraffe had died while its companions were in critical condition, the elephants had become extremely clumsy, resulting in the death of one of the zoo-keepers, and the monkeys had begun throwing their food at the zoo-keepers, and shouting insults at them, disclaiming any relation to them. Other statistics were not released, though an innocent bystander watch-- ed many animals fly south, which, by the way, were the polar bears. The zoo is trying to keep the animals under control and the news about the incident from spreading to the papers and television, but they are having dif- ficulty with the chimpanzees who keep releasing information to reporters. By the way, more information can be learned by crossing the street at midnight and whispering "I don't believe in evolution" three times through the fence directly across from the Rhodes sign. When asked what Campus Green's responsibility was for this horrible accident, Belinda Woodiel, the other co-president, replied,'"We just wanted to keep it from going to waste. You don't think this qualifies as experimenting on animals, do you?" Campus Green hasn't given up the search for other ways to recycle food. "We can't stop now. We're on the verge of something big," announced Belinda, "But we will be more careful next time." The environmental organization is currently looking into donating the rolls from the Rat to the athletic department. "Rhodes Graduates in Organized Crime" Reunion -T.
