I mean, really, really frustrat- ing? We're not talking about the type of frustration elicited from los- ing one of your socks in the laundry. This is levels beyond that. What frustrates me is people who say you can't change anything be- cause of tradition. Namely, things related to sports. For instance, should the San Francisco Giants move to Florida, all you're going to see is a bunch of boobs from the Bay Area griping about how they should have stayed put in cold,-inhospitable Candlestick Park because of tradi- tion. I mean, that's just plain goofy. I admit, I've never been to Candlestick, but I have seen pictures. And while you can't quite gauge temperature from a photograph (or a televised image for that matter), I have come to understand that it gets pretty chilly in the 'Stick. When it's chilly, the fans don't turn out. If fans don't turn out, the Giants don't make any money.

As Giants owner Bob Lurie prob- ably does not possess the ability to a.) pick up Candlestick and move it somewhere warmer, or b.) build a space heater large enough for a space such as Candlestick Park, his hand is forced. But if and when the Giants do leave, a bunch of doofi (plural of doofus) will probably picket Lurie's house and say things like, "What about tradition? Who cares if Candlestick is a money pit? Trad- ition, Bob, tradition!" If tradition were so important, we Americans would still be but 13 wimpy colonies, answering to the beck and call of those crumpet-eat- ing English. If tradition were so im- portant, instead of sitting back and watching. our large screen TVs, we would be huddled around a fireplace, listening to stories about our ances- tors (Presumably, it would only be a few stories, because it would go against tradition to use new stories). You see, my friends, particularly those from the greater Bay Area, tradition isn't all it's cracked up to be. Let the Giants go. first two games this past weekend, beating Villanova 3-2, while losing to William and Mary by an identical score. The loss to William and Mary seemed to ignite a fire in the Wolverine defense. "The defense had a meeting after the (William and Mary) game be- cause we were doing a few things wrong," senior defender Mary Beth Bird said. "We worked out some problems that we were having, and we definitely played better than against William and Mary. Michigan jumped out to a lead which it would never relinquish when junior Keely Libby capitalized on a Kalli Hose assist to score with 20:51 to go in the first half. Libby later assisted on senior forward Katie Thomas's goal with 3:40 remaining in the final period. For Thomas, who led the Wolverines in scoring last season, the goal was her third of the young season. The 2-0 shutout does not tell the entire story. Michigan had 22 shots inside the circle against Rutgers, while the Lady Knights managed only three. The Wolverine defense made things easier for freshman goalkeeper Rachel Geisthardt, who secured a shutout in her first collegiate start. "The score was a little deceiv- ing," Bird said. "I think that we played better than it showed." The Wolverines' team consis- tency seemed to be lacking against William and Mary, but this is typical of early season play. However, their play against Rutgers is an indication of better things to come. "We had a few problems as a team against William and Mary," Bird said. "But we played together and it made a difference (against Rutgers)." The Wolverines' next game is September 20, when they face Central Michigan. The Chippewas should serve as a good tune-up for the Big Ten season which gets under way at the end of the month. f tiRefreshments Sponsored by the Scandinavian Studies Program.
