In athletics, the way to gauge
improvement is by achieving
goals
At times goals are expressed
in terms ot wins and losses
Other times, just playing well
qualities
Oregon volleyball coach
Chris Voelz said as much before
going down to the Nike-Califor
ma Invitational tournament in
Berkeley We want to play well
down there so that our program
will become better known," she
said My goal is to get five good
matches (out of the tournament)
and go from there "
The Ducks reached their goal
of five matches, but only man
aged to scratch out two wins,
both over the University of San
Diego to raise their record to the
7-18-2 mark
Oregon was knocked into the
consolation bracket the first day
when they lost to seventh
ranked Cal-Poly San Luis Obi
spo, 15-10. 15-7, 15-8 Then they
beat San Diego 13-15. 13-15,
15-10. 15-8, 15-4, before losing
to Portland State 15-6.15-6 The
Ducks were ripped by host
California 15-5, 15-11, and then
rebounded to drop San Diego
once again. 15-3. 15-6
"The better exposure we get.
the better our chances of
recruiting incoming athletes.

We want to continue playing the top teams so that we ourselves
can improve," said Oregon volleyball coach Chris Voelz before her
team's appearance at the Nike-California Invitational volleyball
tournament
and opponents to add to our
schedule " she said We want
teams to come up here and play
us, which would be much
cheaper than our having to go
down to Cal and play all the
time "
Currently, the volleyball team
faces the problem of playing
schools that are much better
financed than Oregon is In the
days of ever-diminishing bud
gets, the California schools are
still able to offer twelve full-ride
scholarships, while Oregon can
give only four
With California teams coming
to Oregon, the volleyball team
would be able to direct part of its
travel budget toward other
phases of the sport
"We want to continue playing
the top teams so that we our
selves can improve, but we
can't keep flying down there
and play If we can represent
ourselves well, then we might be
able to get more teams to come
up and play us. which would
really be a help.” Voelz said

The World in Crisis
Choices for the Future!
(Soc. 200 TLN 8100 3 units)
A SEARCH course on our relationship
to a world
in rapid and profound transformation.
Do people around the world see the USA as the Beacon
of “freedom” and “human rights" or as the source of
domination, exploitation and misery? This class will
examine how the USA was built on the genocide of
Native Americans, the enslavement of Africa and
subjugation of other peoples—and the movements by
these peoples to regain independence. We’ll look at
how North American people have responded and
examine the origins and significance of racism,
alienation and fear and how we can change this. In
addition to understanding this from a theoretical and
historical angle, we’ll also talk about how it affects our
own lives. The class will combine a film and speaker
series with readings, projects, discussion and a
practical approach towards solutions.
Instructors: Kathie Knowles and Devin Hess.
Tues. & Thurs. 7-9 p.m. Rm. 244 Gilbert
Course includes Tues. night film series, speakers and
community projects.
