Pistol Team Aiming for A National Championship U A strong University of Utah Shooting Club will contend for the national title this month at the 1999 Intercollegiate Pistol Championships in Atlanta. U club coach Matt DeLong likes his team's chances going into the event. "I am absolutely ecstatic," says DeLong."We have a real shot at winning a national championship this year." Based on its strong showing in the sectional tournament last month, the U received team invitations in all five events planned for the championships: Free Pistol, Air Pistol, Standard Pistol, Women's Air Pistol and Women's Sport Pistol. Only a total of 40 team invitations are given out each year; the U earned five of them. In addition, U shooters received 14 individual invitations. In the three events that will be used to determine the national team champion, the U squad enters the event with the fourth-highe- st qualifying scores. They rank just behind the US. Military Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy. The event will be March 24-2- 7 at the Wolf Creek Olympic Shooting Complex, site of the 1996 Summer Olympics. Four of the five events will be fired exactly as they were during the Olympics. Winners of individual titles automatically will be named to the U.S. National Development Team and eligible to represent the United States in international competition. Seven U students will travel to the competition, including undergraduate students James Sutherland, Nathan Morris, Jon Miller, Shawn Healy, Rachel Hendricksen, Olivia Wang and graduate student Fumiko Ie. "This is the strongest team by far that we've ever had," DeLong said. He estimates this year the U team will end up with eight to 10 All- - Americans in the sport.

BUT EVERYONE REMEMBER THAT 'THEIR KICKER CHOKES.'" WILL - 112398 Kincaid v. Gibson has been likened to the infamous Hazelwood case, which gave high school administrators the right to censor what high school journalists wrote. The Hazelwood standard, which stemmed out of the prior restraint of a high school student's story dealing with pregnancy and divorce, has never been extended to colleges. In a Cincinnati courtroom Wednesday, the appeal by two students, Charles Gibson and Capri Coffer, was argued by Bruce Orwin. Orwin argued that by withholding the distribution of Kentucky State's yearbook and transferring the newspaper's advisor, the students' First Amendment rights were violated. Guthrie True, arguing on behalf of Kentucky State University, called the yearbook "a government-sponsore- d publication by a government- - spon sored university" and said that was the reason it could be subject to censorship by the administration. Orwin said he thinks if the judges rule for Gibson in this case, it will have a impact on college expression. "Every student publication will be fighting this war," Orwin said. He said all areas of campus expression could likely be affected, including literary magazines and the theater. Laura Cullen, the Kentucky State professor who was removed from her position of adviser to the paper and yearbook, was demoted to the job of passing out dorm room keys. "They transferred me the day the yearbooks came in," Cullen said. "They came in to my office and took my keys in front of everyone and changed the locks the next day." True argued that the yearbook was overwhelmed with ineptitude and the content was "so bad." "In short, they did a poor job and it reflected poorly on the university," True said. ' Daily Kent Stater (U-wir- e) Nation Final Four May Help Mich. State The Michigan State University men's basketball team's run at the national title means more than a good game for Spartan fans it means MSU can push its reputation to a national audience. With the national hoopla MSU has received during the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament and the Big Ten Tournament, MSU's winning basketball team may push up the number of students on campus this fall, said Gordon Stanley, assistant provost for enrollment management and director of admissions. "It takes something out of the ordinary (to have the numbers increase)," he said. When MSU's basketball team wins continuously, it allows exposure for the rest of the university, Stanley said. "Students who might not notice us at all say, 'Hey, I might take a look at Michigan State,'" he said. "It gives us a chance to present our story to them." T r . When MSU won its only national basketball championship in 1979, about 400 more admitted students came to campus that fall than the previous year. A similar increase occurred after the Spartans won the 1988 Rose Bowl. The percentage of admitted students who eventually came to MSU was 47.68 percent in fall 1987 and 48.34 percent in fall 1988. That number fell to 41.65 percent in fall 1989, Stanley said. During the Big Ten Tournament, MSU had the chance to showcase its study abroad program. MSU could show three advertisements for free during the nationally televised tournament, said Terry Denbow, vice president for university relations. MSU hasn't had the luxury of free advertisements in the NCAA Tournament, but MSU's Media Communications also has supplied commentators with MSU facts to use during the televised games.
