"...somewhere people are starving while you let food go to waste." While parents probably used this ploy to get their children to clean their plates, as college students we WON'T eat for the very same reason. The Religious Life Council is sponsoring Stetson's 19th year of participation in the OXFAM fast On November 10, students, faculty and staff are invited to participate by either forgoing the use of their meal cards in the Commons and Hat Rack, or by donating money they would have used for food that day to OXFAM through Food Services. ■ The term "OXFAM" comes from the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief, which was founded in 1942 in England. As its name implies, OXFAM, a private, non-profit organization, has its first priority in fighting hunger worldwide. , . Since the real goal of OXFAM is to raise money, itisn't compulsory that those who wish to participate actually fast; this is really left up to the individual. The only stipulation is that if you sign up to fast, you can't use your meal card that day. Movie passes will even be awarded to the residence hall or campus organization that has the . highest percentage of participation in the OXFAM fast. In addition, the Catholic Campus Ministry will be serving juice from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the day of .the fast, and Food Services will have a light dinner of bread and soup for OXFAM participants at 6:30 p.m. in the Commons. This year's OXFAM committee chair, Jana Hart, said that "much of OXFAM's concentration this year will be on the situation in Africa. Just because Rwanda's not on TV anymore doesn't mean that, the problem has gone away." Truly, hunger is just a small problem that serves to catalyze bigger problems.. The 1992 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Rigoberta Menchu, stated: "It is not that peace is merely the absence of war, combat, or conflict; rather, it is the absence of the conditions that give rise to war: intolerance, disrespect, arrogance, rigidity—and most of all, indignity and hunger. When people's needs and desires are satisfied, we can begin to talk about building peace." .

Last Thursday Zeta Tau Alpha and The Conrad/Chaudoin Unified Team met in the finals of the women's intramural basketball playoffs. With the Zetas beating Pi Beta'Phi 34-29 and the Unified Team defeating Delta Delta Delta 21-19 in earlier playoff action, the stage was set for what was sure to be an exciting final. The third-seed Zeta team scored early and looked dominating. For a while it looked like the finals would be a disappointing, lopsided game. However, the Unifieds, or "ConChaus" as they began calling themselves, found the touch from three-point land, sinking two straight shots to tie the game at twelve. The game would remain close throughout the first half. Conrad/ Chaudoin pulled ahead 18-16 with just one minute remaining in the half, sparking a great response from the ConChau crowd. The half ended with the score 20-16 in favor of the Unifieds. During halftime, as both teams cooled down, the crowd was treated to refreshments provided free of charge by the Intramural Department, headed by Rich Chapman. The crowd remained active and excited during the break, as the Zetas continually chanted while the ConChaus began the 'wave.' Leah Emery, a Conrad RA and die-hard Unified Team supporter, commented on the game. "I'm really looking forward to this game, because whether we win or lose I know that the girls really had.a lot of fun and that they had a lot of support and spirit pushing them on." Dana Faircloth, head resident of Conrad and emotional rallying-point of the team, joined in praising the work the team . r -' - - .*"*. : - i . i / r-^J:" * ;,V, '/ v7 -y-i n i - r-t *, r* -.a- - W ■- Photo by David Young Zeta Tau Alphia and the "ConChaus" fight for the women's basketball intramural championship. .... put in and the fans that came out to support the team. "My girls are awesome. We have the best hall on cam: pus." But Dana's support would be ' tested as the second.half unfolded. . The Zetas stormed, out in the second period, displaying a much more physical, and effective, strategy. With Conrad leading, 21-18, the Zetas put on the brakes, as both teams failed to score in upwards of seven minutes. Clearly the Zetas had the superior teamwork, - butConrad held their own as well. They owned the defensive boards, holding the Zetas to less than three offensive rebounds in the entire second half. Both teams began to score again as time be gan to run out, but the Zetas were denied as they put together one final d rive. The game ended with the Unified Team emerging victorious, 23-20.. .". The defensive leader of the Unifieds, Charlene Hintz, was the key to keeping the Zetas reboundless down the stretch. "It was tough, and very aggressive. We had to step it up a level, but we just stayed strong underneath and made sure we got our rebounds. If our offense didn't come, it didn't come, . but as long as we were big on 'D,' we did well," she commented. This was truly a defensive showdown, but both teams deserve great praise for their accomplishments.
