Beached? Cabrini prepares to surf the net by Tom McKee assistant news editor

Students and faculty members who had circled Jan. 16 on their calendars, in anticipation of the Internet's arrival, returned to campus after the semester break to find that the college was not yet on-line. Despite the passing of the Jan. 16 target date, plans for the installation of an on-campus Internet system have been finalized, according to Brian Mayo, network analyst. John Barclay, vice president for finance and administration, confirmed that a contract with Bell Atlantic has been signed for the purpose of installing Internet services. The physical installation and wiring of Grace Hall began Wednesday,Jan. 24.

"It's a turn-key solution," Mayo said. "They'll [Bell Atlantic] walk in here, and when they walk out, we'll be completely connected." Mayo was unable to give an exact date, but said that in a worst case scenario, the installation would be completed in six weeks. The acquisition of certain types of hardware necessary for Internet use may cause delays. The college's domain name will be cabrini. edu. Mayo's attempt to have the college on-line by Jan. 16 fell short for a number of reasons. "This is an enormous project," Mayo said. "There are a lot of things that you don't see, or that you wouldn't expect to be a problem until you get there. Also, we had a lot of

snow days ... We set a goal and we tried as hard as we could, and we came close. I'm not disappointed or unhappy. It's getting done." With the initial installation, Internet services will become available in all computer labs in Sacred Heart Hall and the computer-equipped newsroom in the Widener Center. In Grace Hall, plans call for the wiring of all faculty offices on the second floor and the admissions office. There are no present plans for the wiring of the dormitories, but Mayo called them "eventual priorities." One of the major issues surrounding the Internet concerns the question of off-campus accessibility. It has been determined that there will be no dialin access in the initial installation, which means that students and faculty members will not be able to access the services from their homes or other offcampus locations. This decision could limit the Internet's accessibility to commuters. Mayo does not see the lack of dial-in access as a problem. "Obviously, we're going to have it," Mayo said. "I wouldn't say that there are solid plans to do it, but it's in mind to do. Once the dust settles from this project, it will be something that we put forth." Security purposes played a major role in this decision, according to Mayo. "With dial-in access, anyone in the world would be able to dial-in," Mayo said. "You can secure on-campus much better than you can a dial-in." The cost of the additional service has fueled speculation that the decision may also be a financial one. According to Cathy Yungmann, assistant professor of communications, the cost of 15 phone lines and a server to handle the dial-in access is ap-

"Everything is a financial concern," associate professor of computer science Gerald Sat]ow said. "I think there is a decision that needs to be made about our priorities, and I think that the wrong people have been making these decisions. The decisions are being made in the business office instead of the academic offices." According to Barclay, additional expenses did play a role, but finances were not the only concern. "There are only so many things that you can do at one time, both financially and technologically," Barclay said. The cost of the entire project is approximately $150,000, according to Mayo. Barclay estimates that the project will cost approximately $100,000. Mayo does not believe that the difference in the estimations will be a problem. If the total fees of the installation exceed

what the school has budgeted, some alterations will need to be made, according to Mayo. Mayo could not say exactly what alterations would be made. According to Barclay, the money will come from two separate sources. The college has budgeted approximately $70,000 to be used for the financing of the Internet installation. The remainder of the expenses will be paid for through a National Science Foundation grant that was applied for by Barbara DeWilde, former head of the computer lab, in 1994. The grant of $23,500, has a two-year limit and expires in June 1996. The installation of the Internet has become one of the college's top priorities, according to Barclay. "This is something that we've been sure of for the past year and a half: the what. It's the other variables: the who, the when and the how that have changed," Barclay said.

Expired: Deadlinepast, no 'Net' Jan. 16 has come and gone. And a designated $23,500 is still waiting to be spent. The money is there. The need is there. But the Internet is still not here. Although John Barclay, vice president of finance and administration, says that campus-wide Internet installation is one of the college's top priorities, and it has been for the past year and a half, then why haven't we seen any action until a month ago? Former computer-information-science (CIS) chairperson Barbara DeWilde, who left the college at the end of the last academic year, applied for and received a grant for $23,500 to be used specifically for the establishment of campus-wide Internet access almost two years ago--a grant that wiU expire this June. Given that the college received the grant two years ago, questions should be raised regarding just how top of a priority the installation of the Internet really is in the eyes of the college's administration. If "the decisions are being made in the business office instead of the academic offices," as CIS associate professor of computer science Gerald Satlow said, then just what decisions will be made concerning the draining eligibility of the grant? Decisions incorporating the views of the faculty, student body and the administration, regarding Cabrini and its Internet future need to be made as soon as possible. A forum for open communication between these parties, like a round-table discussion or a campus-wide "town meeting" are just a few of the avenues that could be explored. When the administration expressed its desire for campus-wide Internet, it left out the most important components for this plan ... the students.

Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited,robust, free and open discussion of issues.

Laura Testa, news editor

Did you ever see the backto-school commercial for Staples office supply store? The one with the father dancing in the aisle while selecting school supplies for his children who sadly mope behind? I laugh every time I see the father riding on his shopping cart with one leg in the air and an expression of pure joy on his face with the Christmas carol, "It's the most Wonderful Time of the Year," playing in the background. And then, the announcer says, "For all your back to school needs." Well that's my dad. Three weeks before I moved into school this September, my father had my luggage out and ready and boxes out for me to pack. Once I moved in, he called me three times the first night. In fact, he came to visit me up at school for almost a week straight. Of course, there were a ton of excuses; I needed something, he needed something. But, even though he will never admit it, he missed me. This past week when I moved back to school, my father wrote on his "to do" list, "move Laura to school,"

with a big "hooray" next to it. He's the best. My mother, on the other hand, is much better at expressing her feelings. She's like a Hallmark commercial. I still call my mother, crying, when everything seems to be going wrong. She has a way of making everything better. The night before I moved onto campus for the first time, she sat me down and reminded me that I could always come home and that they would always be there for me. And they have been. Once, I got sick and my parents drove up to school to bring me medicine and food. My father teased me about missing the last half of the Eagles game, but my mother could have come alone. Alone they are practically perfect. Together, they are like something out a movie. A movie like "Father of the Bride, Parts I & II." I can just picture my wedding, my father cheering at the rehearsal dinner and complaining about the bills at the wedding. My father always teases me about my reception telling me that I have my choice of either McDonald's or Burger King. He can tease all he wants, but I guarantee that be will be crying when he walks me down the aisle. My mother, on the other hand, will cry from the day I get engaged until the day I get married.

And probably for some time after. I can even see my brother playing Martin Short's part, Franc. He's a little out there. Not that he will help plan my wedding or be in charge of building my baby's nursery, but he's got the same sort of eccentric personality. All he needs is the accent. And my poor sister, the sanest of them all is stuck in the middle. On the other hand, I like to think that I have paved the way for my sister and that she will have things just a little easier because of all I went through with my parents. In fact, ever since my sister turned 16, they have been easier on me. I can't wait until she starts learning how to drive. By the time she gets her license, my dad will be totally gray. As far as having children of my own, forget about it. My children will be spoiled rotten by their grandparents. I can just picture my father letting my children get away with all of the things I never could. I guess my point is that how I am lucky to have the most caring and special parents in the world. I wanted to share this because I think too often we take our parents for granted. No matter where I am or where I go, I know that I will never be alone. They are the best.

D The death of Jerry Garcia and the demise of the Grateful Dead "What a Long, Strange Trip it Has Been." Rest in peace.

Aaah, the year 1995. So many fond memories. I hardly know where to begin. Everything happened from Newt Gingrich being named as Time magazine's "Man of the Year" (I cringe just thinking about it), to rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg being tried for murder. These are some of the highlights of last year's events in news and entertainment.

THE NEWS

O The partial government shutdown You know I think it's wonderful to see the Democrats and Republicans working together to get absolutely nothing done.

D The OJ.Simpson verdict So the "Juice" is loose, but where's Kato?

Great idea for African-American males, horrendous nightmare for Port-A-Potty workers.

"Rachel" (Jennifer Alliston). Have we all turned into fashion gerbils?

O The Royals Split Who gives a big hairy deal?

D Trashy daytime talk shows With topics like, "Teen Transvestite Makeovers," I don't see what the problem is.

O Alanis Morrissette ENTERTAINMENT When the self- professed"King of All Media," Howard Stern, writes the fastest-selling book of all-time, it's a sad day for all in the world of literature.

Here's a hint for all those guys who were intimidated by "You Oughta Know." Just remember, she used to tell "Locker Room Jokes" on "You Can't Do That on Television." So she's not so tough.

So in a nutshell, that was 1995. If shoveling two billion pounds of snow wasn't enough to start out this new year, Lisa Marie finally decided that she was tired of sharing the bed with the chimp, and thus begins 1996.

Dr. Thomas Boeke is optimistic about the tremendous possibilities for the CIS program in the future. "It is a growth industry," Boeke said, "and we have two outstanding faculty members in the area [Gerald Satlow and Dadamo] who know how to meet the needs of their students." With multimedia taking the business world by storm the way it has, some adjustments need to be made. "This year the department is taking more active measures to attract students to that major," Boeke said. One other problem discussed by Dadamo was a lack of communication among the departments. She said she feels the CIS program is something that should be taken advantage of by students and faculty in other departments. "This year," Boeke said, "the department is involved in conversation with the faculty in the business program to see whether or not there might be opportunities for integrating some of the approaches from computer science with business and man-

agement-information systems. Specifically, that would make an attractive package for our students." Since Cabrini is a small school and CIS is one of its smaller departments, there is room for change or restructuring without drastically rocking the boat. "In a small school there is an intimate connection with the students," Dadamo said. "You know them. You know what they can handle. You know what they are interested in, and they know us. "I am a creator rather than a maintainer," Dadamo said. "Right now the industry is changing so fast that if we undergo some changes, we can capture something unique. I think major restructuring of all computer science programs needs to be done, and if the needs require it, let's go for it." Considering her high hopes for the program, Dadamo said she is interested in making her position a permanent one. However, the provost would not comment on the future of the position.

Snow, sun and fun Students and staff sharewinter breakstories by StaceyCaiazzo assistant photographyeditor

Ah! Home for the holidays, but that means something different for everyone. Many Cabrini students had interesting experiences on their breaks between semesters, and as the old saying goes, "All good things must come to an end." Senior DJ Glasgow had the opportunity to fly to Florida to see her father and brother in Sarasota over the break. She had not seen her father and brother for over a year so she said she was very excited to spend quality time with them. "The best part of my vacation was seeing the reaction on my brother's face when a 15-pound blue fish took off with his line and snapped off making its way back into the water," Glasgow said. "I felt like Forrest Gump when he was sitting DJ Glasgow on the rock fishing with his son." "This is the very first time I spent Christmas without my mother, so it was very hard for me," Glasgow said. "Christmas just was not the same without her." "Alli have to say is five words," sophomore Tara Gilpin said. "I do not like flying." Gilpin went home to Toronto for three weeks where she spent time with her family. Christmas is a very big holiday in the Gilpin family. "We had about 26 people over my house on Christmas Day," Gilpin said. " I n Canada we have a holiday called Boxing Day. On Dec. Tara Gilpin 26, everyone throws out cardboard boxes into the street and everyone goes out shopping," Gilpin said. "I spent all of my money that day. "OnNewYear'sEve,22friends of mine went to a dance club called Club L.A. Hollywood where you only need to be 19 to drink," Gilpin said. Girls, girls and more girls were the main topics of senior Eric Sevland's vacation. He decided on the spurofthe moment that he and his friend Eric Sevland were going to take a trip to Rio and Brazil, and then they were on their way to South Beach, Miami. "My friend and I met two girls whose father owns a chemical company. So we decided to stay with them for a few days in Brazil. It is extremely expensive there," Sevland said. "You would not believe how many beautiful women there are over there. "I spent my Christmas at home in Boston where we got 42 inches of snow," Sevland said. "I hate snow."

Laura Irwin, assistant resident director of the houses, traveled to her home town of Mexico City with her husband, Christopher, on Dec. 21. Unfortunately, the airline had to rearrange some of the flights because of the weather, but they finally made it there safe and sound. "We could have either left on Dec. 21 or we could have gone standby on Dec. 23 or 24, but we decided to leave early," Irwin said. Her parents own a ranch, which consists of lions, ostriches, buffalo, a monkey named Bi-Bi and a tiger called Billy Jean. "For my Christmas gift my parents gave Chris and me a trip to Palenque," Irwin said. "The best part of the trip was being able to see the ranch more times than ever before. "It took us 10 hours to get to the ranch because the highway is so cold and windy and the fog was horrible," Irwin said. "We got stuck behind trucks, so it took us a little longer to get there than we expected. "We were stuck in Houston for four days because of all of the snow. This was the first time I saw the volcanoes covered with snow," Irwin said. First-year student Callista Nurimba went to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco for her vacation. She went to visit her relatives. During her travels, she visited places like Disneyland and Universal Studios for the first time. "I went window shopping on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles, but I could only look instead of buy because it is so expensive," Nurimba said. "I went to Las Vegas and saw the musical, "Star Light Express," by Andrew Lloyd-Weber. "I enjoyed taking pictures of the Hollywood Walkof Fame a!_!d the Chinese Man Theater where all of the movie premieres take place," Nurimba said. "If you have never been to New Orleans, Louisiana, then you are definitely missing out on a good time," first-year student Vicki Catalanotto said. "I went home to spend time with my family. "I was looking forward to going home because the weather is usually in the '70s, but little did I know it was only going up to 30 degrees on most days," Catalanotto said. She went to the French Quarter, which is an historical site in New Orleans, and attended Mass in the St. Louis Cathedral. She also rode on the Natchez on the Mississippi River and went shopping in the French Market in the Jax Burwery. "After the first of the year the Mardi Gras season begins and I enjoyed eating King cake, which is a tradition which celebrates Mardi Gras and the Epiphany," she said.

3 new movies all deserving 3 out of 5 stars

by Paul Monte assistant arts & entertainment editor

Dp not leave your brain at home. This advice should be taken hy all who venture out to see the Universal Pictures release of"12 Monkeys." While it is certain that the film is fueled with the star powers of Bruce Willis, Madeline Stowe and Brad Pitt, understanding director Terry Gilliam's timetravel thriller is another question. By the year 2035, a killer virus has wiped out 99 percent of the world's population. The film opens with James Cole [Willis] wandering around the streets of Philadelphia, which can only be described as cold, desolate and lifeless. The only exception is a few tigers and bears that have happened to survive the apocalypse along with Cole, who is among the

by Nltlkla Scott staff writer

"Waiting to Exhale" is the new movie on the screens. The movie first appeared in the theaters on Dec. 22. However, it was receiving rave reviews even before opening night. Television and radio made the movie seem interesting and therefore made people eager to come out and see the movie. "Waiting to Exhale," starring Whitney Houston as Savannah Jackson, Angela· Bassett as Bernadine Harris, Loretta Devine as Gloria Matthews and

one percent of survivors. It turns out that Cole has timetraveled to this Philadelphia of the future to find clues as to the origin of the virus, which he comes to realize is the responsibility of a group called the 12 Monkeys. Cole continues to be sent to different points in time by an underground team of scientists who, like Cole, survived the virus. Their mission Js to send Cole, who is labeled as a "volunteer," and others like him to different points in time to trace the path of the virus, put an end to it, and as a result, keep humanity on top of the evolutionary chain. The "volunteers" and scientists, however, live in a time where time-travel is not a perfect science. On one occasion, when Cole is supposed to be sent to 1990 Baltimore, he ends up in the middle of an 18th century revolutionary war. These mistakes, however, end up turning into benefits for Cole. When he does make it to Baltimore, he ends up recognizing a beautiful prison psychiatrist who is played by Stowe. Cole meets her as a result of getting thrown

in jail for beating two police officers. When he tries to explain his "mission" to the powers-thatbe, he ends up being placed in an asylum where he meets a clinically insane animal rights activist named Jeffrey [Pitt]. For Cole, Jeffrey ends up becoming a prime factor in his tracing the origins of the virus. As a result of his altering the historical timeline with his presence, Cole eventually convinces Stowe's character of his quest. The two then embark on an adventure in present- day Philadelphia to track down their hardest leads of the virus origin in what culminates into a surprising and shocking ending. If the confusion of the plot has discouraged you from seeing "12 Monkeys," you should at least consid.er viewing the film for the notable performance of Pitt. His consistent and wacky portrayal of the insane Jeffrey brings several comedic moments to this serious and dark tale. The role recently won Pitt a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Pitt's Jeffrey ultimately over-

shadows the less theatrical lead roles of Willis and Stowe. Willis spends most of the film in a beaten and bloody daze while Stowe plays his reluctant turned fearless partner. Christopher Plummer also makes an appearance as Jeffrey's scientist father. His cameo role is small yet extremely significant to the story. The special effects of "12 Monkeys" are also worth mentioning. Thanks to computer wizardry, there are several surprisingly realistic images of elephants walking down city streets, tigers making their home on top of City Hall and monkeys ( of course) dangling off of Center City skyscrapers. Despite confusion and timetravel turmoil, "12 Monkeys" provides two hours of suspense and intrigue that will make you think and have you grappling for sense and meaning way after the closing credits have rolled. This can not be said about most of Hollywood's recent film efforts, earning "12 Monkeys" three stars out of five.

Lela Rochon as Robin Stokes, is about four best friends who are desperate to find the right men. Throughout their manhunts, the women make sure they are there for one another. Bernadine was married with two children. In the early years of her marriage, she helped her husband's business grow. Her husband left her for a white woman in with whom he worked. At the start of their marriage, Bernadine helped her husband bring up his company. She practically built the company up from the ground, as well as giving him 11 years of her life. However, now that he has made it big in business, he left Bernadine for another woman, a white woman with whom he worked. Gloria owns a beauty shop,

is divorced, and has a seventeen-year-old son who is about to travel around the world. Gloria had always depended on her son to be there for her. However, now that he is leaving, she needs to find someone else to be there for her. Robin is a professional insurance agent. Savannah is a public relations executive. There is one thing all of the women have in common. They are all trying to find "Mr. Right," but all they are finding is "Mr. Wrong" or "Mr. All That's Left." These women know what they want, but they seem to think that the only way to get to know someone is to have sex with them. These women have a very strong desire for sex.

All of the men these women come across are either married or have a girlfriend. Despite the fact that all of these men are in a relationship, the women still end up in bed the same night they meet. The characters in this movie seem like they know what they want in a man. They just did not know how to go out and find what kind of men they were looking for. This movie had a lot of truth in it, not just for blacks, but for whites also. The reason that these women were waiting to exhale was that they had not yet found the right men in their lives. When would "Mr. Right" finally be found or walk into their lives? That would be the time to close your eyes and exhale.

If college-age viewers have anything to say about the new comedy series "Champs" (Tuesday, 9:30 p.m., ABC-TV], it might give the show's producing team of SKG Dreamworks a nightmare. The show features Timothy Busfield, Ashley Crow, former football player Ed Marinaro and Kevin Nealon from "Saturday Night Live." Busfield and Crow are "Tom" and "Linda," the typical married couple with children and a home in suburbia. The premiere episode saw Tom's friend "Marty," played by NeaJon, move in with Tom's family after his wife caught him cheating on her. The majority of the show focuses on Tom and Linda's efforts to reconcile the differences between Marty and his wife Doris. Through a lunch with Linda, Doris maintains that she is through with Marty. Tom, along with the help of his blue-collar buddies, including Marinaro's character "Vince," try to give Marty advice on wooing his wife back, which ranges from acting macho, sensitive or just plain stupid. This episode appeared to suggest that today's women are assertive and strong, while men are stupid and weak. This was illustrated when the lone Doris encountered Marty with fourofhis friends at his side, acting almost like a shield to protect him from harm. The show's comedic aspects come to an abrupt end when Doris comes to Tom and Linda's home to see Marty. Moments later the viewer is subjected to a music video-esque sequence of actions between Doris and Marty set to a song titled "Love Hurts." After realizing that their relationship will not work out, the show concludes with a depressed Marty wishing his ex-wife the best of luck in life while Tom and Linda reaffirm their love for one another in the wake of Marty's separation. The encounter between Marty and Doris started a serious tone that carried throughout the final 10 minutes of the show, causing speculation as to whether or not "Champs" could be labeled a comedy. In addition to displaying themes of having courage and good friends, "Champs" is loaded with catchy analogies and phrases that rank on the low-brain rung of the comedic ladder. The jokes, however, are so bland, safe, predictable and stupid that they fail to phase the funny bone. Furthermore, with the show's conservative atmosphere, it is unlikely that baby boomers Busfield, Crow, Marinaro and Nealon can attract a following of sophisticated Generation X viewers, ultimately causing "Champs" to go down in defeat.

Library responds to student discontent by Kathy S. Cephas perspectives editor

"Students hate the library for the same reason they hate the cafeteria," Anne Schweim, coordinator of infonnation access and user services for Holy Spirit Library, said. "It is not open for enough hours and the selection stinks." There has been a growing feeling of discontent with Cabrini's Holy Spirit Library. Complaints ranging from not enough articles, books and journals available for student use, to only having one computer available for access to the Internet are just some of the gripes that students have. However, the staff of the Holy Spirit Library is addressing the complaints of students and are enacting changes that will help to placate some

of the student concerns, while making the hbrary a more conducive place for learning. Complaint: "Every time I go to the library to get something, I end up having to go someplace else to get it," Andy Burke, a sophomore, said. Response: "Students do not understand that if they come in with a specific need that we cannot meet, then the staff will do its best to help them," Kerry Ruane, a senior and library employee for four years, said. "If it means ordering something from interlibrary loan or referring them to other libraries, then we will do it. Most of the problem is that students come in to look for things at the last minute," Ruane said. Complaint: "The library is in desperate need of modernization,"

senior Brian Mooney said. "It really needs to catch up to other libraries." Response: "Right now we are making the card catalog compact and tight so that we can have extra space for students and room for the computers," Sulekha Kaylan, coordinator of technical services, said. Yes that's right, the library is planning to have computers instead of the card catalog as early as June. Ruth Richardson, technical services library associate, is spearheading the project. "As of December 31, (1995] we stopped placing cards in order to make room for the computers," Richardson said. "We also are planning to go on-line by the next school year." There is also new shelving in the

reference section in order to accommodate more room for chairs and desks for student use. Complaint: "Over the four years that I have been working at the library," Ruane said, "there have been complaints about the size of the library and the availabilityof its resources." Response: "We need to hear specific complaints," Kristine Mudrick, library director, said. "Some are just so vague that we usually cannot address them." Mudrick also said that there once was a suggestion box on the library's front desk, but it was taken down due to a lack of input. "A main problem area that I have perceived is the lack of periodicals," Mudrick said. "When students receive information on a topic that

they have researched off of a link to a CD-ROM,the general assumption is that the library alreadycarries these journals. We cannot subscribe to everything, but just because we do not have something does not mean that we are deficient," Mudrick said. Mudrick also advised students not to be afraid to ask for or suggest something. "We don't always know what topic students are interested in or are researching," Mudrick said. "We work closely with the faculty. They offer the most suggestions on what we should carry. So students can also talk to their professors." Schweim stressed the importance of student input. "No one tells us what they want or need. If they just tell us then we will do whatever we can to help."

"Billy is part of the starting rotation," Tidwell said, "and having him back put things back to normal and seeing him play hard rubbed off on the other players." The Cavs' 79- 78 win over Mt. St. Clare College the next night was also decided by a last-second shot. This time sophomore point guard Far'd Nasir scored the winning basket with 10 seconds left in the game. Although Nasir's playing status had been questionable all season long, he also made his return in Iowa. "A lot of players were looking forward to having Far'd come back," Tidwill said. "He creates shots for guys, and we needed that in Iowa." Nasir's return had an immediate impact, as he scored 25 points in the tournament with 11 assists. The night of the Mt. St. Clare game proposed another question when Bowles and senior center Tom Newnam came down with the flu. While Newnam was unable to play, Bowles did, scoring 14 points. Bowles was also the Cavs' leading scorer in the tournament picking up 46 points over the course of the three games. Bowles was later named to the All-Tournament team.

His performance also impacted his teammates. "It inspired all of us," Nasir said. "He had the flu, and he still played, and that showed everyone how much he wanted to win." Going into the semifinals, the Cavs were looking to win despite facing the host team and were disappointed by the loss. However, this was the Cavs' seventh trip to the semifinals in the 12 years they have participated in the tournament. "Overall, the team put in a good effort," Nasir said, "and we just happened to come up !>hort." "Coming up short" left the Cavs somewhat disappointed with their performance in the tournament. "I don't think we played well," Bowles said. "We never put a whole game together. We played well in spurts. We played hard. But we didn't play well." That feeling, combined with the extra day of travel due to the Blizzard of '96, left the players somewhat tired when their regular-season schedule resumed, according to both Tidwell and Bowles. However, they were able to defeat Eastern College 73-57 in their first game back.
