or years, students have walked by the Collier House Cafe and
thought it was a club for the faculty. Well, honestly, we don’t know
how that silly rumor ever got started. A few students who know we
offer great meals and a downstairs pub, are all laughing at those
who still think it is faculty only. They are enjoying a meal and a
brew, and we felt you should know.
So next time you walk by the big, old house across from the EMU
and feel it's reserved for your biolog)' professor, join the students
who’ve discovered the on-campus pub. Kick back with a Black Butte
Porter or Mirror Pond and watch the students go by. It's sure better
than being laughed at.

Equestrians riding
into a bright future
By Jen smith
lor the Emerald
It is a sport that goes unno
ticed by many, but it is a sport
that is quietly building a
strong foundation for the fu
ture.
The Oregon Club Sports
equestrian team has officially
ended its intercollegiate com
petition for this season, but by
no means will the members of
the team be taking it easy for
the rest of the year.
One member in particular
has bigger and better things
looming in the future. Megan
Robinson, senior co-coordina
tor, is gearing up for a road trip
that will take her to Syracuse,
N.Y., on April 23-25 when she
will be participating in a na
tional horse judging contest.
“I’m very
proud to
have the op
portunity to
represent my
team by go
ing to the hast Coast, Robin
son said.
Robinson’s achievements
during the season made her
the first Oregon rider in four
years to make it to regionals,
where she placed third. She
was the only rider from the
Northwest tc advance to re
gionals.
That regional finish quali
fied her for zones, which in
cluded riders from all along
the West Coast. Robinson was
very proud of her effort in
zones, where she placed third.
“I was out there riding
against skilled riders from
schools such as San Diego, UC
San Diego, California and other
Southern California schools,”
Robinson said. “For me to
place as high as I did in both
regionals and zones was great.”
Even though the intercolle
giate competitions have sub
sided, the other riders will
continue to be active.
“Our team never really takes
a break from riding or from
each other,” Robinson said.
"We’re really a tight-knit
group and we enjoy spending
time with one another. We still
will be active in putting on lo
cal shows around the area, and
riders will always be individ
ually working with their hors
es.”
The team is already setting
its sights on fall term. In partic
ular, the second week of Octo
ber. That’s when the equestri
an team will most likely get
the opportunity to host its first
horse show in the new North
west regional league that is
scheduled to be formed this
May by an Intercollegiate
Horse Show Association vote.
“The league will consist of
schools in the states of Oregon,
Washington, Utah, Idaho and
Montana,” Robinson said. “The
league will be called Zone Eight,
Region Three. Even though I’m
a senior, I’m excited for the fu
ture of equestrian at this school
and in the Northwest.”
Along with Robinson, the
team will be saying goodbye to
three other senior riders who
have spent all their years at the
University on the team: Rachel
Turner, Felicity Ayles and
Lindsey Cameron, who was
co-coordinator.
Men’s lacrosse
smashes rivals
The Oregon Club Sports
men’s lacrosse team made
quite a statement this past
weekend as it cruised to easy
victories over Pacific-10 Con
ference rivals Oregon State
and Washington State at
Southbank Field.
The Ducks defeated the
Beavers, 12-2, before destroy
ing the Cougars, 13-2.
What made the victories even
more impressive is that the
team's roster has been trimmed
down to only 12 players after a
recent rash of injuries.
Predictions
Continued from Page 9
A.L East
The Yankees, who went 125-50
and swept the World Series last
season, added future Hall-of
Famer Roger Clemens to the start
ing rotation in the off-season, sacri
ficing David Wells and two others.
Although New York began with
a loss at Oakland for the second
straight season and has had more
than its share of problems of late
with manager Joe Torre sidelined
by prostate cancer and George
Steinbrenner battling Hideki Irabu,
this team simply has too much tal
ent to be sidetracked for long.
Besides, when are the Yankees
not surrounded by controversy?
With Albert Belle added to the
mix and Mike Mussina healthy,
Baltimore should rebound after a
disappointing 1998 and at least be
able to pull a wild card.
National League West
Defending league-champion
San Diego went the way of the
garage-sale Flori da Marlins, while
the Fox-driven Dodgers signed su
per-starter Kevin Brown.
Enough said.
N.L. Central
Houston, which is seeking its
third straight division crown, lost
run-producing outfielder Moises
Alou for the season. But the Astros
should still have enough in the
Killer B’s — Derek Bell, Craig Big
gio, Jeff Bagwell — to fend off
McGwire and his deck of Cards.
N.L. East
Despite the loss of its biggest of
fensive cat, first baseman Andres
Galarraga, to back cancer, Atlanta
looks primed for an eighth straight
postseason appearance.
With a multitude of newcomers
joining Mike Piazza and compa
ny, the Mets should at least chal
lenge for the N.L. wild card.
Postseason
With Galarraga’s absence hurt
ing the Braves, the Dodgers should
advance to meet the Yankees, just
like many old times.
But Clemens, who lost in his
only career World Series appear
ance in 1986, and superior overall
talent and depth should boost
New York to its third world cham
pionship in four seasons.
Yes, things are looking beauti
fully pinstripe-ish once again.
Tennis
Continued from Page 9
“It’s always easier to beat a
team that’s ahead of you,’’ Petro
vic said. "But when you play
someone that’s behind you, it’s
really tougher.”
The Ducks certainly won’t have
to fret much about having under
dog teams nipping at their heels
this week.
On Thursday, the Ducks will play
No. 6 UCLA, and they’ll face No. 10
Southern California on Sunday.
Making matters more difficult,
the Ducks will play without Sarah
Gonstro, their usual No. 3 singles
player, who is out for the season
with a knee injury.
“We have some stiff competi
tion coming up,” Griffin said. “It
certainly didn’t help to lose a top
three player. The rest of the team
will have to raise its game.”
That’s what Petrovic—an emo
tional player—is all about.
“I like to fight on the court,”
Petrovic said. “When I am on that
high, I can be pretty tough. When
you’re loud and you scream and
you’re like, ‘come on,’ you get
fired up.”
That type of passion benefits the
whole team, Griffin said.
"Whether it's in practice or in
matches, she brings a lot of fire,” he
said. “She sprained her ankle and
was out for a couple weeks [earlier
this season]. The whole time the
young players could see how hard
she was working to get back. That's
very good for our team. ”
Dealing with injury wasn’t a
new phenomena for Petrovic.
During what would have been
her sophomore season at Texas-El
Paso, Petrovic had to redshirt with
tendinitis in her wrist. The injury
came at a particularly inoppor
tune time because she was coming
off a successful freshman season,
in which she achieved a No. 70 na
tional ranking, becoming the first
UTEP player ever to be ranked.
Then, instead of returning to
UTEP, Petrovic enrolled in den
tistry school in Croatia. But that
pursuit lasted a mere six months
before she decided to give college
and tennis in the United States an
other try.
“I wanted to go back to the
States,” Petrovic said. “But when I
called my coach, he had already
given my scholarship away. ’’
So Petrovic had to find another
school.
And Griffin, in his first year at
Oregon, was looking for another
player. He’d seen Petrovic play
while working as an assistant
coach at New Mexico, so he didn’t
hesitate to recruit her.
Whether it’s in
practice or in matches,
she brings a lot of fire. >>
Jack Griffin on Andrea Petrovic
Oregon head coach
“I knew that she was a high
quality player,” Griffin said, “and
that she could really help our pro
gram.”
But Petrovic wasn’t quite so
sure that Oregon was the place for
her.
“I was pretty hesitant,” she said.
“I knew it rained a lot. I liked Jack
and I knew it was a good school, but
the rain depresses me big time. But
[Jack] was e-mailing me every day
saying, ‘Hey, it’s sunny today.
After surviving a “brutal ” junior
season in which the Ducks forfeit
ed points in several matches be
cause of injuries, Petrovic has en
joyed her role in Oregon’s success
this season. Including her three
set win against Washington’s Jen
nifer Svanfeldt, Petrovic brings an
overall record of 10-11 into to
day’s match.
How does Petrovic feel about
her collegiate journey so far?
“If I had to do it again, I would,”
she said. “No doubt.”
