Why Is This Person Smiling?
She has just discovered the ease
jj of Wireless Internet
ACCeSS now available to
students on the UO campus and
paid for by your Educational
Technology dollars.
Using a small PCMCIA receiver
. 7
card in her laptop, she is able to
surf the Web at speeds compa
rable to that of a wired connec
tion—or about TOO times
faster than a modem
connection.
This service is now available
throughout the EMU and in the
Atrium of Willamette
Hall. So, why not get a cup of
coffee and sit down with a wire
less connection and surf away at
high speed?
Students interested in using this service can check out the necessary PCMCIA
receiver cards from the help desk in the EMU Computer Lab (22 EMU).

■ Both the men’s and
women’s tennis teams eye
individual berths in the
NCAA tou rna ment today
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
Although an NCAA tourna
ment bid is unlikely for either
Oregon tennis team, several indi
vidual berths are up for grabs to
day through Sunday at the Pacif
ic-10 Conference Championships
in Ojai, Calif.
Five men and three women
represent the Ducks at the Pac
10s, which co
incide with the
Ojai Valley
Amateur Tour
nament, the Big
West Champi
onships, the
Division 3 Re
gional and the
California High School Champi
onships. More than 1,000 partici
pants will play during the three
day tennis marathon.
Thirty-two singles players and
16 doubles teams will compete in
the single-elimination Pac-10 tour
nament featuring nine conference
schools. Its outcome will have a
heavy effect on who is selected to
\go to the NCAA Championships
on May 15 in Malibu, Calif.
Representing the Duck men are
seniors Guillermo Carter and
Joaquin Hamdan, sophomore
Thomas Schneiter and freshmen
Oded Teig and Leslie Eisinga.
With a No. 45 ranking, Carter is
the seventh-highest ranked Pac
10 player. He will face No. 94
Scotty Scott of Stanford in the
first round today.
The only other ranked Duck is
No. 100 Schneiter, who faces

jack Griffin
women’s coach jj
Washington’s Jeremy Berman.
Earning a tough first-round draw
was Hamdan, who takes on Stan
ford’s No. 12 Geoff Abrams. Teig
will face Arizona State’s Matt
Klinger.
On Friday, the 39th-ranked
doubles team of Carter and Eisin- ▼
ga take on UCLA’s Jean-Julien Ro
jer and Jean-Noel Grinda.
Schneiter and Teig face Califor
nia’s John Paul Fruttero and
David Tzou.
On the women’s side, No. 61
senior Alina Wygonowska and
No. 62 freshman Monika Geiczys
have the best chance of any Duck
for a NCAA bid. Wygonowska
plays Arizona’s Uzma Kahn
while Geiczys battles Southern
California’s No. 56 Kara War
ketin.
Sophomore Janice Nyland
hopes to continue her recent win
streak against Arizona State’s No.
36 Karin Palme.
Oregon’s lone doubles team,
Geiczys and Nyland, will take on
UCLA’s Abigail Spears and Eliza
beth Schmidt.
“Every match will be a tough
one,” women’s coach Jack Griffin
said. “It’s a great opportunity for
Alina and Monika to solidify
^ their spot in the NCAAs.”
