Page 8 The Battalion Thursday, October28, Volleyball team squeaks past Rice From Staff and Wire Reports The Lady Aggie Volleyball team took a tough four-game match from the Rice Owls Wednesday night, winning on the road 12-15,15- 4,15-13,16-14. A&M improved to 23-4 overall and 7-1 in the Southwest Confer ence. Rice dropped to 10-13, 0-8. The Lady Aggies were paced by senior outside hitter Sheila Mor gan, who scored 18 kills against the Owls, and senior middle blocker Amy Kisling, who notched 12 kills and nine blocks. Kisling led all players with a .476 ‘ Went hitting percentage. A&M sophomore setter Suzy i-high 20 digs, tying A&M's best mark of the sea- /ente had a match- son. A&M's next match comes Wednesday at G. Rollie White, facing the University of Texas, which gave A&M its only SWC loss Sept. 15. Dodgers' Piazz named 1993 NL Rookie of the Ye, The Associated Press Soccer Continued from Page 7 "We struggled but won 1-0 against them last time, and we know this match will be for the bragging rights of Texas." Freshman goalkeeper Sunny McConnell said she agrees with Guerrieri that the rival Lady Longhorns need to be taught a lesson. "This will be a bit of a grudge match," McConnell said. "This time around we need to correct that mistake that was in the papers and let them see the real Aggie soccer team." The tournament winner will be determined on a point system. Six points will be given for a win, three for a tie, one for a shutout, and one point for every goal scored up to three goals. A maxi mum of ten points can be achieved per match. Going into the weekend, Guer rieri said he believes the first sea son has already been a success. "There has a lot of great indi vidual drive and lots of pride on this team," Guerrieri said. "These players have a good sense of chemistry, and they seem to enjoy working hard for each other. Wins just come from that naturally." LOS ANGELES - Mike zn, a 62nd-round draft pick, had one of the finest rookie sons ever, was unanimously ed National League Rookieoli Year on Wednesday.

"The team is doing real well, considering the inexperience fac tor and the number of freshmen we have running," Snider said. "For myself, I think I am where I wanted to be this year." Although he has set high goals for himself in the five mile run for the conference championship this weekend, Snider predicted the team would finish at fourth place. "I think finishing in the top ten individually will be a good ac complishment for me," Snider said. "However, Texas, Rice and Baylor are almost assured to fin ish as the top three, so we will have to battle it out with Texas Tech and Southern Methodist for fourth place." Coach Marcinkieiwicz said he would be pleased with a fourth place finish from either team based on the inexperience and lack of funds for both programs. "We don't have separate schol arships for track and cross-coun try, so we end up spending less money on distance runners than anyone else in the conference," Marcinkieiwicz said. "We hardly ever get any out- of-state runners - just Texans, but all these kids give a great effort." ner, trailing only Frank Rot; son's 38 for the Cincinnati Reds] 1956.

Maybe they will move Disney movies to 10 p.m. like they have moved the Beavis and Butthead show. Whatever they do, I never thought I'd see the day when Beavis & Butthead and Mickey Mouse were both dangerous threats to the young televi sion/movie-viewing public at large. Who would have ever thought it? I guess everyone should just quit Texas A&M and blame Michael Jordan, who quit a successful professional basketball career because he has ac complished everything he wanted. What's to stop us from "retiring" by saying that we've accomplished everything we've wanted? I have gotten my share of good grades. I've been active in clubs and organizations, and I have met a lot of people and learned things about cultural di versity. Whatever. Give me a break. It is a sad statement for America when parents can't restrict what a 5-year-old watches on televi sion and juniors in high school are studying the underside of a car instead of spending time think ing about where they might want to attend college in their near future. The fact is that most people just don't want It accept responsibility for their own actions - ifsal ways got to be someone else's fault. It is not just Beavis and Butthead or kidstryini to duplicate movie stunts, it's the majority of pec* pie who just can't stand to face the consequences;' their actions. For instance, everybody knows that some of tls NCAA Division I schools pay their athletes, buttk schools and the NCAA won't take the heatforthe economic monster and money-luring tactics they have created in college athletics. Hey NCAA, admit it! Personally, I don't see why they just don't make paying athletes legal. If NCAA officials ever go! off their butts and decided to investigate every ma jor Division I program, there might not be any col- ^Continue lege football bowl games on or before New Year's Day because of the numerous violations, small oi large, that the NCAA would find. I he schools should rightfully compensate the athletes for what they have earned and for the recognition and revenue the players generate foi the school. No argument - just pay the players. If people would just admit their own careless ness and lack of thought, then maybe this country could take some steps of progress forward, instead of constantly moving backwards.
