The Lady Griffins were led by freshman Brianne Wallace who took home the player of the week honor with 30 kills and 9 blocks. Wallace was also the player of the week, the first week of the season. Even though the team lost the next tournament game, head coach Marinda Ashman is pleased with the team's will to win. "In the past, teams have looked at winning the first game as a goal accomplished and was followed by a letdown and bad play in the next few games. That is not the case with this team as getting the first one just made 15-1- 1 15-1- ife) ifebtiio CCUjiliiffifp (ijr CfcVi 1 llfllffiTC'ni 3 them want to win even more," she said. Westminster has a very young team (seven freshmen, three sophomores and one senior), which, according to Coach Ashman, has had to "grow up quickly". This lack of experience at the collegiate level has been the main factor in the team's string of early losses. Ashman is happy with the progress the team has made to this point and says they are getting better every day. The team worked hard on hitting, blocking and defense in the days leading up to the tournament, which paid off in getting the victory, said Ashman. It's only one win, but a step in the right direction for the young Lady Griffins who still have about a month left in the regular season. The next set of scheduled home games is on Oct. 28-3- 0 against Montana Tech and Western Montana College.D Photo by Amy Young Lady Griffins progressing.

Physics Professor Displays Photography Work By Heather Cook Staff Writer When I walked into the Jewel center last week the first thing I noticed was that all of the photographs on display were in black ana white. I knew that Chri: Cline's photos were of the Lake Powell area and I had expected to see lots of oranges or the dark blu of the storms. Black and white? I also knew that Cline was a Physics professor here. A physics teacher with a photography exhibit? This was going to be interesting. I proceeded to move through the rows of photographs, expecting to be out in five minute; to enjoy the nice day. Nearly an hour later I walked out of there having forgotten that I was still at Westminster. Most of Cline's photographs were taken in the late spring of 1998 and 1999. The rock formations around the Puebloean dwellings revealed dramatic shapes and illusions. The shadows told how dramatic and unpredictable, land can be. The use of black and white film, instead of color, actually gave personality to the photograph. It seemed as if I did see color sometimes, but not the kind of color on a palette. Black and white film brought out the life and richness that one might overlook had my eye been able to focus on the oranges I had expected. ' There was so much packed into each photograph that I spent a good deal of time looking at each one before I felt satisfied and could move on to the next. It wasn't just the fact that these were interesting photographs that withdrew me from my surroundings. I was in awe that Cline had been able to capture the energy and power from the land and manage to See Exhibit, page 4 |
