Women’s golf makes Regionals
■The Ducks get to stay
in-state tor the all-important
Regional Tournament
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon women’s golf team
now knows its destiny, and that
fate reeks of
Beavers.
Because of a
split-regional for
mat that took ef
fect this year, the
Ducks were un
sure whether
they would play
in Oregon, Indiana or North Caroli
na for the NCAA Regional tourna
ment.
Then lady ;uck shone on Ore
gon, when the Ducks found out
Monday that they would be the
No. 12 seed at the West Regional,
held at Trysting Tree Golf Club in
Corvallis. The tournament will
take place May 10-12.
“It's a great opportunity to play
in front of our own fans and fami
lies on a course we are familiar and
comfortable with,” Oregon head
coach Shannon Rouillard said. ■
The Ducks need to place eighth
or better at Regionals to make it to
the NCAA Championships at
Howey-on-the-Hills, Fla., May 23
26. The Ducks will have to contend
with several other Pacific-10 Con
ference schools to make it to the
NCAAs.
Second-ranked Arizona head
lines the West Regional field.
Number four Southern California,
No. 5 Stanford, No. 7 Tennessee,
No. 13 Ohio State and No. 21 Ari
zona State will also compete.
Rouillard said the top-ranked
teams aren’t the ones the Ducks
will set their sights on.
“All we have to focus on is beat
ing the teams seeded eight through
11 to make the NCAA Champi
onships, and only one of those
teams is from the West,” Rouillard
said.
The coach was speaking of No.
17 Michigan State, No. 37 Wash
ington, No. 25 Furman and Indi
ana, the 8-11 seeds at the West Re
gional.
Rouillard said her team is confi- '
dent heading into Regionals.
“This is our biggest test yet, and
we're playing our best golf at the
right time of the year,” Rouillard
said. “If there is one thing you can
count on, it's that Oregon always
rises to the occasion."

Sports brief
Blazers fan tossed from game
for ‘Trade Whitsitt’ sign
PORTLAND — She needs six
more ejections to match Rasheed
Wallace’s total, but a fan was
tossed out of Sunday’s Trail Blaz
ers playoff game against the Los
Angeles Lakers for refusing to give
up her sign disparaging Portland
general manager Bob Whitsitt.
Katherine Topaz, who attended
Game 3 with her 8-year-old step
son, held up a handmade sign
that read “Trade Whitsitt,” refer
ring to the executive’s series of
questionable personnel moves
that backfired on the Blazers this
season.
Topaz was sitting in the 10th
row, and her sign was in full view
of Whitsitt, who was sitting next
to owner Paul Allen on the other
side of the Rose Garden.
During halftime of the game,
which the Blazers lost 99-86 to get
swept from the best-of-five series, a
security guard asked her not to
show the sign. A second guard
asked her to hand it over. When she
refused, she and her stepson were
escorted out by a group of guards.
“These players get ripped on all
the time, and the general manager
can’t take a little joke? Come on,’’
Topaz told radio station KFXX
Monday morning.
Blazers spokeswoman Sue Car
penter said the team has the right
to confiscate any sign it deems ob
jectionable or not in good taste.
About 10 signs were confiscated
Sunday, Carpenter said, including
one that read “Shaq’s a jerk.”
Whitsitt referred questions
about the incident to the team’s
marketing director and building
personnel.
The Blazers finished the season
losing 10 of their final 13 games,
and Whitsitt joked that the sign
should have suggested he be fired
instead of traded.
“I don’t think you’d get any
thing if you'd trade me,” he said.

Horoscope bv Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May I). Put down
roots first, and love is your reward. State your
case firmly in May, and convince someone who
thought he knew better. Expenses rise in June.
Being thrifty helps. Follow a hunch in July, and
stand firm in August. Save September for the
one you love. You need to work on your own
place in October. Get expert advice in Novem
ber, and make romantic commitments that
month, too. Pay off bills in December, and go
for a raise in February. Find the perfect thing
for your home in April.
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)—Today isa7 —
Do you feel like soaring but worry about a lack
of funds? Don t let financial concerns cramp
your style, but don’t go into debt to get new
toys, either. Your energy is high, so range far
ther afield. Find a job that nobody else wants.
Slay in shape, and earn cash for new wings or
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5
— Somebody at home wants to boss you
around. Are you going to stand for that? Sitting
and talking might be a good idea, but don’t ex
pect a quick resolution. You two might not re
solve matters until the day after tomorrow.
GEMINI (May 21 -June 21)—Today is a 6 —
You’ll get much farther today with action, not
talk. In fact, some of the people you're dealing
with might not be on speaking terms. If you
can't get the words out. don’t worry. Do what
needs to be done.
CANCER (June 22-July 22)—Today is a 6—
Arrange a conference with your team to review
plans. No need to broadcast the news yet. Give
yourselves plenty of time to think of all the con
sequences of your impending action — which
happens sometime around Thursday, by the
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 —You
need to get out for some exercise. Staying
cooped up is making you crazy, but what about
your responsibilities? By volunteering to work
overtime, you might make enough to buy some
great new toys. Stick with it a little longer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—Today is a 7 —
Others are pushing yotrto move quickly, but :
that could cause problems. Did you ever notice
that in the race between the tortoise and the
hare, the tortoise always wins? Heed a wealthy
older person's advice, and not the advice of a
foolish, frightened bunny.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7 —
So many invitations, so little time. Better turn
down a date that would cause you fb be out late.
You won't get nearly as much attention if you
have big bags under your eyes — not the kind
pf attention you want, anyway.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5
—You've got a lot to do and a lot to think about.
You're under pressure, but you're not alone. You
have somebody who could understand, and
help, nearby. Don’t hide out; reach out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 7 —You're raring to go, but you don't have
the green light just yet. Is it because the time is
n’t right, or have you just not explained your
concept clearly? Maybe it's a little of both.
Don't get restless; this may take a while. Give
it until Friday, at least.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
a 7 — Don't take a financial risk quite yet.
There's more homework to be done first The
details are still coming in. The workload may
change, too. A seemingly done deal falls
through, and something better appears on the
horizon.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 5
— You may feel as if you're dragging an an
chor. Every answer you come up with leads to a
new question. Every open door has a wall right
behind it Perhaps the universe is trying to tell
you something. Chill.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6
— Is there a chance you could curl up with a
good book today? At work? It would be a good
way to spend your time, but it might be tough
to accomplish. There will even be distractions
at home tonight. How long can you lock your
self in the bathroom without them breaking
down the door'?
