First woman graduate of
Notre Dame tells her story
By MEGHAN MARTIN and
JESSICA DALSING
N ew s W riters
The news arrived on officiallooking p ap er in the kind of
thin envelope that immediately
signals trouble.
Although she was well into
h e r s e n io r y e a r a t S a in t
M ary ’s, M ary E ileen Davey
learned she would not be invit­
ed to g r a d u a te fro m th e
College, and should no longer
consider herself a Saint Mary’s
student.
The oldest of seven children,
Davey was born to Gene and
E ileen Davey of C olum bus,
Mont., pop. 1,000, a town with
one traffic light to its name.
“I w anted to go to a good
Catholic school, and that’s why
I w ent to Saint M ary’s,” she
said.
The year was 1972, and the
College’s anticipated m erger
with Notre Dame had broken
apart because of irreconcilable
d iffe re n c e s b e tw e e n th e
a d m in is tra tio n s of th e tw o
schools.
“I said to the sisters [at Saint
M ary’s], We re using m a r­
riage metaphors, and I get the
impression that you’re in favor
of the m arriag e, but, No. 1,
you d o n ’t w a n t to ta k e o u r
n a m e , a n d tw o, you d o n ’t
w a n t to live w ith u s,” th enU niversity p re sid e n t F a th e r
T h eodore H esburgh said of
m e rg e r discussions. “So we
agreed to disagree.”
T h a t single d isa g re e m e n t
left Davey a n d m any o th e r
Saint M ary’s students out in
the cold without even the hope
of a dip lo m a to k eep th em
warm.
“H ere I am se n io r y e ar, I
was just happy ... in the hustle
and bustle of being a senior, I
w a s n ’t th in k in g a b o u t n o t
being able to g ra d u ate ,” she
said.
Despite, or perhaps because
of, the fact th at she had ful­
filled all of the required credits
toward a bachelor’s degree in
m a rk e tin g
th r o u g h
th e
U niversity, Davey rem ain ed
ineligible, according to Saint
Mary’s standards, to graduate
from the College, and was told
not to attend the graduation
ceremony with her fellow stu­
dents.
T he issu e th a t p la g u e d
Davey, her fellow students and
both institutions lay in the co­
exchange p ro g ram th a t had
been implemented by the two
schools a few years earlier in
o rd e r to facilitate a sm ooth
tran sitio n to the anticipated
c o e d u c a tio n th ro u g h th e
schools’ merging.
D avey, lik e m a n y of h e r
peers, had elected to fulfill a
m ajor outside of the realm of
liberal arts program s offered
a t Saint M ary’s, and instead
fu lfilled all of h e r m a jo r
requirem ents at Notre Dame
while completing Saint Mary’s
core requirements.
W hen m erg er negotiations
fizzled, Saint Mary’s no longer
accepted the credits earned
toward degrees at Notre Dame
because majors such as busi­
n e s s a n d e n g in e e rin g , for
w hich w om en studied a t the
University, w ere not offered
within the College’s liberal arts
c u r ric u lu m . “G irls w e re
p ro te stin g and everything,"
s a id D avey. “T hey w a n te d
Notre Dame degrees.”
Fortunately for Davey, fate
a n d H esb u rg h w ere on h e r
side. Because she declared her
intention to pursue a major in
m a rk e tin g h e r ju n io r y ear,
Davey had taken all the neces­
s a ry b u sin e ss c lasses for a
Notre Dame degree.

Where's the
culture?
The lack of culture on campus is
depressing. The biggest thing to look for­
ward to is next month’s arrival of John
Mellencamp, but what is there for those
students whose artistic appetites aren ’t
satisfied by
Indiana’s own?
Justin
Regrettably, an
Krivickas
-----------------------answer might be
difficult to come by.
A s s is ta n t
Whatever hap­
N e w s E d ito r
pened to the golden
eras of the
Sophomore Literary Festival and the
Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival? I’ll
spare you the laundry list of celebrated
personalities who once-upon-a-time
graced this campus. These days, boast­
ing about the glory of the past seems to
be the only way to remind us of the artis­
tic Zion that Notre Dame might have
been.
Admittedly, organizations like the
Student Union Board work hard to keep
us entertained, and they should be laud­
ed for their efforts, but far too many of
their endeavors are m et with far too little
success to consider them much of a start­
ing point. I know, because I’ve heard the
hollow echoes reverberating through the
nearly empty LaFortune Ballroom when
bands, expecting a w arm reception, are
reduced to grudgingly upholding their
end of a contractual agreement. Last
spring, a young singer/songwriter from
New York City left Beckers in tears
because no one was listening to her.
Is that the problem? Is it that no one
cares? I don’t think so. I’d say a large
part of our student body is really into
some aspect of literature, music or visual
art, but the chances of hearing about it
are sadly small. More importantly, every­
one here has something to say. Why
aren’t we hearing about it? Is being cre­
ative not cool?
Some may think that the Midwest is no
place for this kind of thing and that artsy
stuff belongs on the coasts. Perhaps they
should visit places like Oberlin College in
Ohio or the University of Wisconsin,
Madison, where one can find as much to
see and hear as anywhere.
I’ve heard other excuses, suggesting
that our particular institution is more
focused on academia and fostering a
community of faith than it is upon n u r­
turing a vibrant culture. To this I say that
real education requires not only opening
your mind, but opening your eyes and
ears as well. Linear Algebra and Plato
teach us all about ourselves and our
world, but wouldn’t having an artistic
community as equally dedicated to seek­
ing and expressing truth show us even
more?
As members of this University, I think
we owe it to ourselves and to those
around us to seek and produce intellec­
tual stimulation outside of the classroom.
Only with your help can you create an
artistic environment that Notre Dame
can be proud of. Show some initiative, go
out on a whim or just do something cre­
ative and let everyone know about it. The
word will spread, and soon “creativity”
will once again be a beacon that can
stand up to the challenge of being trendy.
I know all of you out there have some­
thing you w ant to say, and I, for one, am
listening.

Al-Qaida suspected in Kuwait attack on marines
A ssociated Press
KUWAIT CITY
As investigators looked for alQaida links to a deadly attack on
U.S. Marines in Kuwait, American
forces in th a t c o u n try w e re
involved W ednesday in an o th er
violent incident, the second in two
days.
A U.S. Army soldier heading to a
training area in northern Kuwait
fired one shot at a civilian vehicle
when one of two people inside the
car pointed a gun at the soldiers’
Humvee utility vehicle, said a U.S.
military official at Camp Doha, an
isolated U.S. Army base along the
Gulf coast about 12 miles west of
Kuwait City.
He would not say if anyone was
harmed in the incident at 7 p.m.,
only that U.S. and Kuwaiti author­
ities were investigating.
U.S. officials in Washington said
the shot hit the hood of the civilian
vehicle, which then veered off the
road. The A m ericans continued
driving to the training area, U.S.
officials said.
The Kuwaiti Interior Ministry,
which oversees police, initially
said it had no information on any
such incident — an indication the
civilian c a r m ay h a v e d riv e n
away.
The violence has startled many
in Kuwait, a close U.S. ally where
citizens g en erally co n sid e r th e
United States a friend that liberat­
ed their country from Iraqi occu­
p a tio n in th e 1991 G ulf w a r.
Islamic fundamentalists are politi­
cally strong, but militant violence
involving som e Kuwaitis largely
has been carried out abroad, not
at home.
F u r th e r d e ta ils a lso w e re

Tuesday’s killing of a U.S. Marine
and wounding of a second Marine.
The two men, who w ere shot dead
after firing on an o th er group of
M arines, w ere cousins who had
fought in A fghanistan, a friend
and a relative said Wednesday.
They said the m en were angry
about

of
Palestinians and one had made a
vague th reat about “coming for”
Americans.
U.S. and Kuwaiti officials, who
are investigating w hether the men
had links to Osama bin Laden’s alQaida network, labeled Tuesday’s
attack an act of terro rism . U.S.
S ta te D e p a rtm e n t sp o k e sm a n
Richard Boucher said it m erited
the label based on the “nature of
the attack.”

Shell casing, tarot card emerge as clues left by sniper
Associated Press
BALTIMORE
A ta ro t card depicting d eath w ith the
ta u n tin g w ords “D ear p o licem an , I am
God” em erged W ednesday as a potential
clue in the hunt for the sniper terrorizing
W ashington’s suburbs.
The card was found n ear a shell casing
outside a middle school in Bowie, w here a
13-year-old boy was critically w ounded by
the gunm an M onday, a so u rce fam iliar
with the investigation said on condition of
anonymity.
Authorities said the shell was ,223-caliber, the sam e kind of bullet used to kill six
people and wound another in W ashington
and its Maryland and Virginia suburbs in
the last week. The casing is believed to be
the first one recovered since the slayings
began.
M ichael B ouchard, an ag en t w ith the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,
w ould n o t say w h e th e r au th o ritie s had
linked the casing to the attacks.
Montgomery County Police Chief Charles
Moose also w ouldn’t comment when asked
about the tarot card, and angrily suggest­
ed u n a p p ro v e d in fo rm a tio n h ad b een
leaked.
“I need to m ake sure I don’t do anything
to hinder our ability to bring this person or
these people into custody,” Moose said.
The m essage left on the tarot card called
th e D e a th c a rd w as firs t r e p o r te d by
WUSA-TV and then by The W ashington
Post. Police sources told the new sp ap er
the items w ere found 150 yards from the
school in a wooded area on m atted grass,
suggesting the gunm an had lain in wait.

All the victims have been felled by a sin­
gle bullet. Investigators say the sniper, or
snipers, fired from a distance with a highpowered hunting or military-style rifle.
The wounded boy, whom police have not
identified, rem ained in critical but stable
condition Wednesday. Ballistics tests found
that the bullet th at struck him was of the
sam e caliber as those that killed some of

the secret experim ents conducted a t sea and in five

said. “It just happened that way.”
Because of the unique circum ­

Davey had found herself in since
receiving the infamous letter from
Saint Mary’s.
“I will never forget the kindness
of D ean R a y m o n d ,” sh e sa id .
“[He] would ju s t say, ‘W e’ll get
you a degree.’ That is something
that to my grave, I will carry with
me, the kindness of everyone. I
had confidence in Dean Raymond
and Father Hesburgh.”
Many Saint Mary’s seniors were
not nearly as lucky. Those who
had finished degree requirem ents
at the University w ere unable to
g r a d u a te w ith N o tre D am e
degrees, and m ost w ere instead
granted a degree from the College
w ithin a m a jo r c o m p a ra b le to
what they had worked toward at
the University.
Davey said she noticed a senti­
m ent of frustration on the Saint
M ary’s cam pus after h e r favor­
able decision was rendered.
“T h ere w a sn ’t anim osity, but
there was true disappointment on
the p a rt of a lot of Saint M ary’s
girls,” she said. “It was nobody’s
fault - 1just got caught smack dab
in the middle.”
Graduation day arrived shortly

Americans win Nobel for economics
A Princeton University psychology professor
studying decision making and a George Mason
University economics professor who examines
alternate m arket designs won the Nobel prize in
economics Wednesday.
Daniel Kahneman, 68, a U.S. and Israeli citi­
zen b a se d a t P rin c e to n U n iv ersity in New
Jersey, and V ernon L. Sm ith, 75, of George
Mason University in Fairfax, Va., will share the
$1 million prize.
It was the third year in a row that Americans
have taken the prize. Of the 51 recipients over
the years, 34 have been from the United States.
W. Coast dockworkers return to work
West Coast dockworkers returned to their jobs
under court order Wednesday and were greeted
with a huge backlog of cargo that built up over
10 days of a labor lockout.
“It’s been very hard . W e’re ju s t glad to be
back at work,” said Karen Korbich, a dockworker for the past nine years. “We expect it to be
very congested.”
Dockworkers at the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach held a rally before returning to their
jobs. They w ere joined by civil rights activist
Jesse Jackson, who helped lead cheers of “We
want to work!”
The carg o backlog c a u se d by th e lockout
could take more than two months to clear.

D em o cratic le a d e rs on

Bush to remove Harvey Pitt,
chairm an of the Securities
and Exchange Commission,
whom they accuse of oppos­
ing a to ugh c a n d id a te to
head a new oversight board

The White House called the
accusations politically moti­

Daschle and Gephardt told
Bush in a le tter th a t Pitt’s
“repeated insensitivity sug­
gests an arro g an t indiffer­

Pitt is “giving the account­

Daschle told reporters. “This
is exactly the kind of abuse
the new board was created
to prevent.”
W hite House spokesm an

charges.

A g a in
w om an can.
I w orked this
su m m er a t the C ascade AIDS Project
(CAP) in P ortland, Ore., through a
S um m er Service Learning Project.
W hile AIDS is no longer a gay m en ’s
disease, it is still very prev alen t am ong
th a t population.
F u rth e r, a lot of the people who
w ork a t helping those w ith AIDS are
gays and lesbians who have lost loved
ones to the disease, and som e 40 p e r­
cen t of the em ployees of CAP are
hom osexual. Due to the p re p o n d e r­
ance of gay clients and the heavy re p ­
re se n ta tio n of hom osexual em ployees,
th e dom inant sexuality ends up being
hom osexuality.
One of the things I did early on was
help out a t the Gay Pride p a ra d e and
festival. My m om , a lesbian, goes to it
every year w ith h er p a rtn e r, and I
th o u g h t it’d be fun to see w h at it was
like. It w as fascinating to actually feel
stra ig h t w here being straig h t was
som ething out of the norm . It w as also
g re a t to see the gay and lesbian com­
m unity be totally com fortable for one
day.
The delightful thing about m ost
hom osexuals is th a t after experiencing
so m uch difficulty and pain in a
stra ig h t w orld, they a re the last people
to be unaccepting of anyone. I’m su re
everyone who saw m e at Gay Pride
knew th a t I w as straig h t, but no one
would even have given me a funny
look, let alone avoided or h a ra sse d me.
It m ade me asham ed of my own
straig h t w orld, w here being different
isn ’t okay. The gay and lesbian com ­
m unity w elcom es anyone who w ants in
— straig h t, bi-sexual, tran ssex u al,
tran sg en d er, gay, lesbian or q u estion­
ing — and I wish th a t straig h t com m u­
nities would be so open. The hom osex­
ual com m unity rem em b ers th a t we a re
not defined by our sexuality, a tru th
the h eterosexual com m unity often
seem s to forget.
For the last th re e years, I have
w atched N otre Dame reject petitions
for club sta tu s from O utreachND , the
stu d e n t-ru n gay and lesbian group at
Notre Dame. This year, I also w atched
them reject the club petition of Irish
Friends of Lesbians and Gays (IFLAG).
A pparently N otre Dam e has moved
beyond rejection of hom osexuals into
the realm of rejecting people because
they care about hom osexuals.
I know pretty m uch every arg u m en t
ag ainst hom osexuality. I know the
C hurch’s m oral position on the issue. I
know w h at the University says its posi­
tion is (it’s u n su re it can endorse
everything O utreachND stan d s for). 1
ju st think they a re all wrong.

A tough road to teaching
1 w anted to thank Courtney Boyle for
her Oct. 5 article, “Give education
m ajors respect.” Many students h ere do
not realize how difficult the program is,
and I have actually been ridiculed for
being an education m ajor. Ju st because
it is not offered at Notre Dame does not
give it less value.
I am a junior biology and secondary
education m ajor, and m any of my
friends do not u n derstand how m uch
work I actually do. Being a biology
m ajor is tough enough: I spend six
hours a week in labs, and prep arin g for
exams is a week-long process of study­
ing a t least three to four hours a night.
Let’s not forget the ten page research
papers, lab reports and a y ear of
organic chem istry (which has the accu­
rate reputation for being the m ost diffi­
cult course).
As if all of th a t doesn’t m ake me busy
enough, I haven’t even m entioned any
of my education requirem ents. Twice a
week I have to drive a half-hour to
observe and teach at a South Bend
High School. This m eans w hen I am
registering for classes, I have to reserve
two to th ree hours in my schedule d u r­
ing the tim e w hen they have school, so I
can get som e actual teaching experi­
ence.
Also, ju s t as Boyle said, we have to
write lesson plans, which is no easy
task at all. We pre-service teach ers are
not allowed to lecture, so coming up
with creative and entertaining ways to
teach the m aterial effectively takes
endless hours of planning. W hen my
friends ask how my week looks and I
respond th a t I have to w rite several les­
son plans, they often laugh, and others
ask if they’re going to see m e out. They
ju s t don’t understand th at this is a very
difficult and tim e-consum ing task.
Lastly, second sem ester of senior year
is reserved for full-time student teach ­
ing a t a local high school. This m eans I
will have to teach a class of high school
students while the teacher observes
me. Because this is an all-day affair, I
have to have all my classes done by
then. Basically it’s like taking three and
a half years of college. I have been ta k ­
ing 17 to 18 credits since freshm an
year, including a few sum m er courses,
all so I can avoid the 5-year plan.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love
everything about w hat I do. Both the
biology and education departm ents are
aw esom e, and I’m not putting them
down at all. Also, I am in no way saying
th a t my m ajors are so m uch m ore diffi­
cult than anyone else’s or th a t no one
else has a lot of work to do. I am simply
letting you all know th a t education
m ajors do not have it easy, and we
deserve your respect. After all, if this
w as so easy, then why are there only a
handful of biology and secondary
m ajors in the whole program ?

In re c e n t w eeks C ongressional

realized th a t if th e P resid en t of the

The co n stan t m edia blitz by liberals
such as Tom Daschle atte m p tin g to

Pornography is no
laughing matter
Joe Muto’s Oct. 9 column,
“Centerfolds: apply h e re ,” w as relatively
am using. I am responding not as m uch
to his statem ents as to the culture th at
clearly displays itself in his article. I’m
talking about a culture in which m any
college guys indulge them selves — the
culture of pornography, w here women
are objectified as m ere sexual objects.
The Catechism condem ns pornography
because it “offends against chastity, does
grave injury to the dignity of its partici­
pants since each one becom es an object
of base pleasure and illicit profit for oth­
ers,” and “it im m erses all who are
involved in the illusion of a fantasy
w orld.” The reasons presented by the
Church here a re the m oral reasons —
pornography harm s m arriages, p ro ­
m otes abuse and offends the dignity of
all the people involved in it.
But I’m not here to preach about it in
such ab stract term s. Let’s m ake this a
little m ore realistic.
Your dance date walks into your room
before an SYR. The first thing she sets
eyes on is a poster of Pam ela Lee. The
next day, a friend from chem istry class
comes over to study, and as she sits
down at the desk she sees the Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Edition there
am ong your books. You and a bunch of
the guys are playing fantasy video gam es
(complete with half-naked women) w hen
your girlfriend stops by for a surprise
visit.
Situations like these a re n ’t th at
uncommon for female students here. We
do m anage to spend som e of our time
studying, partying and hanging out in
the room s of our guy friends. But in the
vast majority of those room s, our fem i­
ninity and modesty are assaulted by the
posters, screensavers and video gam es
we see all around us. Though we seldom
say it, th e re ’s a so rt of sadness and sink­
ing feeling w hen we see these images,
and an autom atic com parison with the
w om an on the wall.
These soft porn pictures (and the real
porn th a t is often not so visible) com m u­
nicate to us exactly w hat the guys in th at
room are looking for. A thin but busty
model tells us th at a guy is interested
only in the physical p a rt of us, and so we
try to look like that. A poster of Britney
Spears m eans th a t you w ant a girl to be
a “Slave for You.” A rap song or even the
“Thong Song” m akes it clear how you
w ant us to dance.
Of course you never say anything out
loud, b u t the images invade all of our
heads and influence everyone’s behav­
ior.
Will girls say anything? No. Most of us
don’t see any reason to ask you to take
down th a t poster, because we figure it’s
ju st w hat college boys do. But som e­
thing, som ew here inside our heads
rem inds us th a t these a re the men we
m ight som eday m arry. Pornography is
proven to cause m en to be less satisfied
in th eir m arriages and has a direct cor­
relation with abuse. Most of these guys
will be fathers som e day — is this the
im age w e w an t passed on to our sons?
Ladies, let your guy friends know that
you don’t like staring down S hakira’s
cleavage w hen you come to visit. Guys, I
ju st ask you to consider the im pact that
porn, w h eth er hardcore or ju st in a
sw im suit, is having on you. Consider the
m essage it sends to your female friends.
Consider the influence w hat you do now
will have on your future wife and chil­
dren. I think you’ll find th a t pornogra­
phy is a not a subject to be taken lightly.

Moms face tough choices
In running Emily Streyer Carlisle’s Oct.
8 article, “End the ‘mommy w ars,”’ you
are highlighting perhaps the m ost real
concern that the women of Notre Dame
and Saint Mary’s will have to face in the
coming years.
At age 1 9 ,1 thought that surely in the
next 10 years the social revolution would
happen and th at my female com padres
and I would be the first generation of
women to be able to have full, fulfilling
lives of career and family. But here we
are in 2002, when the only choices facing
a “mommy” are apparently the selfish,
greedy route of career or the glorified but
self-sacrifial stay-at-hom e mom.
W hat rem ains for today’s young women
to hope for? Most of us w ant to have a
family, and most of us w ant to contribute
something m ore to this world than our
genetic m aterial to a new generation. For
m any of us, our years at Notre Dame
have inspired us to a greater service for
humanity than only having children, yet
the Church contributes to the social pres­
sure to be a “good” m other by being
exclusively a m other and hom em aker.
I still believe th at as citizens we m ust
continue to keep the debate alive —
women, by their biology, cannot be con­
tained in an archaic structure of w orker
or reproducer. We should take our cre­
ativity in our personal lives, which allows
us to “balance” the facets of our lives, to
the public stage.
I’ll go out on a limb here: It does take a
village to raise a child, and it does take
the contribution of women to make our
civic, social and economic lives improve
as a country and a world.
There is absolutely no reason th at our
society should not contribute to child­
care and education, th at men should not
carry their full share of the “domestic”
burden and th a t women and m en should
not be able to organize their jobs and
careers around family imperatives.
There are m any public policy choices
which could vastly improve the quality of
life, especially for women and young chil­
dren. These include: free public p re­
school from three years of age (as in
France); subsidised in-home child care
(as in most of Europe); flexible paid fami­
ly leave for both parents (Sweden allows
up to three years to be taken between the
two parents); and accessible life-long
learning options to allow parents who
take time out from the labor m arket to
update their skills.
Why don’t we ju st skip the w ar on Iraq
and do all that with the money instead?
Think about it, women.

HOLY CROSS
Notre Dame, Indiana
I J
In 1966, Holy Cross College opened with a handful of
students and a mission. The mission was to provide a
personal, caring, educational environment that would
prepare students to transfer successfully to the four-year
institution of their choice.
Holy Cross College now has over 500 students, a residence
life program and an ever-increasing selection of course
offerings, amenities and social opportunities. But no matter
how much we grow, we will never lose sight of our
fundamental mission. Every year, our students develop the
skills necessary to transfer to outstanding colleges and
universities like Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s, Indiana
University and scores of other fine four-year institutions.
Our mission is what has made us successful. So while many
things change, our mission is one thing that will not.

“I t’s ju s t a m a tte r of getting
th e rig h t a ttitu d e b ac k on th e
course to win again. 1 think I’m
h ead ed back in th a t direction,”
Janzen said.
Ironically, Janzen shot his low
round of the year while trying to
play conservatively on the TPC
Sum m erlin course.
“It’s easy to press because you
think you have to shoot 63 every
day,” Janzen said. “I m ake more
b ird ie s now th a t I p la y m ore
conservative if you can believe
that. If I ju st stay from gambling
on too m any holes I do well.”

It m ight have been even better
if n o t fo r a few m isse d s h o rt

with birdies on 10 and 11 to get
his round going again.

Barry Bonds was smack in
the middle of everything —
driving in runs, scoring them
and even flashing his temper
in th e NL c h a m p io n sh ip
opener.

Wednesday night.
In a p o stse a so n th a t is
rapidly becoming all his own,
B onds w e n t l- f o r - 2 w ith
th ree walks. The four-tim e
MVP, known in the past for
his playoff failures, hit three
home runs against Atlanta in
the opening round.
Benito S antiago, b a ttin g
behind Bonds, homered and
dro v e in fo u r ru n s , an d
Kenny Lofton and David Bell
also connected. It w as 6-1
after three innings. It was the
way Lofton admired his shot,
however, that led to a highand-tight pitch the next time
a ro u n d , e m p ty in g both
benches and bullpens.
Lofton had to be restrained
by se v e ra l te a m m a te s , a
coach and an um pire after
spinning away from reliever
Mike Crudale’s fastball in the
fifth inning.
M anagers Tony La Russa
and Dusty Baker, who a day
e a rlie r g u shed a b o u t how
much they liked each other,
started screaming in a heated
exchange that forced a pair of
umpires to pull them apart.
The big lead enabled the
G iants to hold off a rally
fueled by hom e ru n s from
A lb e rt Pujols, s u rp ris in g
Miguel Cairo and pinch-hitter
J.D. Drew. Robb Nen pitched
the ninth for a save.
Busch Stadium, full of red
and ready to erupt from the
start, quickly grew silent as
Lofton led off the game with a
walk and, after an intentional
w alk to B onds, sc o re d on
Santiago’s two-out infield hit.
Morris retired the first two
batters in the second, then
suddenly lost it. Lofton sin­
gled, stole second and scored
on Rich Aurilia’s single. Kent
followed with a single, and
that brought up Bonds.
Bond c a u g h t up w ith a
hanging curve and lined a
one-hop drive off the rightcenter field wall for a two-run
triple, and an RBI single by
Santiago made it 5-0.
Lofton struck again with a
solo h o m e r in th e th ird ,
sta n d in g n e a r the plate to
watch his drive sail over the
right-field fence. The speed­
ster casually flipped his bat
aside before beginning his
trot.
Crudale’s first pitch came
close to Lofton — not at his
head, but too close for Lofton.
Lofton sh o u ted a t Crudale
b efo re s ta r tin g to yell at
catcher Mike Matheny.
It took a few m inutes to

Angels take game 2 in the
ALCS
So much for Minnesota’s Metrodome
dominance. Darin Erstad and Brad
Fullmer hom ered off Rick Reed as
Anaheim built a six-run lead, and the
high-flying Angels beat the perky,
pesky Twins 6-3 W ednesday night to
head home with a split in the first two
games of the AL Championship Series.
“You have to get acclimated to the
dome,” Fullmer said. “We got accli­
m ated a little bit.”
A night after Joe Mays stymied
Anaheim’s high-octane offense in the
Twins’ 2-1 opening victory, the Angels
got to Reed from the start. Erstad, the
No. 2 batter, sent Reed’s sixth pitch
over the fence in right-center, w here it
landed 409 feet away — nestled in one
of the stacked-up seats used for
Vikings games
“It’s nice to get a lead. It’s nice to
jum p out. That gave us a big lift,”
Angels m anager Mike Scioscia said.
Anaheim tacked on three m ore runs in
the second, two of them unearned
because of a costly error by catcher
A.J. Pierzynski — who couldn’t hold on
to a throw home after Reed caught a
runner off first.
“The game should have been 2-0,”
Twins m anager Ron Gardenhire said.
When Fullmer chased Reed with a
two-run hom er in the sixth, it seemed
over. But Minnesota battled right back,
knocking Ramon Ortiz out in the sixth
when Corey Koskie hit an RBI single
and Doug Mientkiewicz, who had three
hits, had a two-run single.
Brendan Donnelly replaced Ortiz and
got out of the inning, and 20-year-old
rookie Francisco Rodriguez struck out
two in a 1-2-3 seventh.
After a two-out walk to Torii Hunter
and a single by Mientkiewicz put ru n ­
ners at the com ers in the eighth,
Scioscia brought in Troy Percival,
whom he had been reluctant to use in
the eighth until after the New York
Yankees rallied to win the division
series opener.
Tigers Hire Alan Trammell

Not really frustrated
On Saturday, the Irish tallied
109 yards in penalties, not the
kind of statistic a coach w ants
to look at. But for Irish coach
Tyrone W illingham, th a t sta tis­
tic is not cause for frustration.
It is cause for disappointm ent,
but m ost im portantly, it’s cause
for change.
“I ’m a lw a y s d is a p p o in te d ,”
W illingham said. “I think fru s­
tration d o esn't en ter in because
I believe if y o u ’re f r u s tr a te d ,
then you c a n 't change it.”

enough to w orry about focusing
on w h at problem s o th er team s

“Y ou’re alw ays d isap pointed

T h e r e is d i s a p p o i n t m e n t in

Staying focused

Irish have had plenty of hype to
keep them focused. T h ere w as
