Swimsuit issue:
A tradition for
the “macho man”
As February rolls around I’m
reminded of my girlfriend on
Valentine’s Day and my sisters’
birthdays on Feb. 27 and March
4.
This means I must spend
much of my time during the
month searching for three
“perfect” gifts.
On one such shopping ex­
travaganza I walked past the
beautiful models, this issue is
designed to inform the reader of
all the new styles of swimwear
on the market. Ranging from
$36 to $575 in price, many of
the suits are revealing but
“cover what they need to,” ac­
cording to Macpherson.
It’s hard for me, as a 19 year
old male to look at this objec­
tively, but I am for the annual

magazine section of a store.
One magazine jumped out and
said, “buy me!” This isn’t the
first year that this has happened
to me. Once again I was bitten
by the Sports Illustrated annual
swimsuit issue bug.
I know what you’re saying.
No, I did not buy the magazine
because of any chauvinism. It’s
more of a tradition of the males
in my family dating back to
when Cheryl Tiegs was on the
cover.
In the past eight years we’ve
come a long way, from Tiegs to
Christie Brinkley (now Mrs. Bil­
ly Joel) to Carol Alt (included in
this year’s pictorial), European
native Paulina Porizkova, who
starred in the Cars’ video
“Drive”, to this year’s
newcomer, Sydney, Australia
native, Elie Macpherson, who
more than graces the cover and
many inside pages.
Aside from all of these
issue - possibly because I am a
19 year old male, but there is
more to this than meets the eye,
so to speak.
Too many people think that
there is something wrong with
this “sleazy, chauvinistic” pic­
torial.
I say if the models don’t
mind, which seems to be the
case, then it’s okay.
What is at issue here is the
right for women who are
against the issue to call men
who do like it ‘‘male
chauvinists.”
There’s no doubt in my mind
that if this issue featured Tom
Selleck, Mark Harmon, or Rob
Lowe in bikini briefs it would be
a perfectly legitimate issue.
I’m going to leave it up to you
now guys. If you want to buy it,
don’t be intimidated.But,
follow my lead; hide it from
your girlfriend.
“I started my sophomore
year in high school,” said Mitzi
Finn, a 6’1” basketball player at
Clackamas Community Col­
lege.
Finn said she started to play
basketball because “they kind
of recruited me out.” She
pointed out that because she
was about 6 ft. tall at a small
high school, coaches asked her
to play.
Finn went to McKenzie High
School in Blue River, Oregon,
40 miles east of Eugene.
Finn was voted most outstan­
ding female athlete and scholar
athlete at McKenzie High
School. She was also a Tri­
County First Team All-League
player and All-Star selection.
“I got a scholarship here,”
said Finn. “Garver (Clackamas
Coach) came and saw me play.”
Which was at the play-offs,
Finn pointed out.
She said Garver asked her to
play for Clackamas and offered
her school tuition and a trip to
Classifieds
Hawaii, so “I said, sure and
came.”
About Hawaii, Finn said, “It
was the life, it was so cool.” She
pointed out they played two
games, winning one and losing
one. She said the rest of the time
she layed out on the beach and
“checked out the scenery.”
Finn stated her best game this
year was against Western
Oregon State, the Junior Varsi­
ty team, where she scored 18
points. She said she was sick at
this game and at her best two
games she wasn’t feeling well.
Finn said she isn’t sure about
her major, “Something in
sciences, but I’m really not
sure.
I was looking at
Oregon State, but I’m not sure
really,” she pointed out.
About high school basketball
Finn expressed, “My senii
year in high school we ended i
with a 17-5 record. We had
really good season.” SI
pointed out they were one gar
away from state.
Finn said in high school,1
played my best game in pla
offs against Monroe.” She sa
she scored 28 points. “One
my high school highest was
points.”
Finn expressed about h
family, “In basketball they’
been very supportive.” She sa
her parents like her to play.
About her hobbies she sai
“I like to read, like to travi
Personally myself, I’ve been
over the United States.” Fii
concluded, “I enjoy doing
kinds of outdoor stuff.”
