W. Hoops Faces Lions

By ryan | January 19, 2001

The Cornell women’s basketball team will host the Columbia Lions tomorrow at 5 p.m. in Newman Arena.

Cornell (8-7, 1-1 Ivy) is coming off a 60-46 victory at Albany on Tuesday night. Junior Do Stevens led the way for the Red with 13 points, while senior Jen Linker scored 11. Freshmen Tanya Karcic and Karen Force were also vital to the Red’s attack.

Before the contest with Albany, Cornell split a pair of home games against Pennsylvania and Princeton, defeating the Tigers 77-61 before falling to the Quakers 69-66 in a thriller.

Against the floundering Tigers, Stevens again carried the burden by netting 15 points. Sophomore Katie Romey added 13, matching Force’s production. Linker was 2-for-2 from 3-point land en route to 12 points.

Penn, the preseason pick to win the league, saw an early lead erased by Romey. The guard scored streaks of seven and nine points, and was tied for the high scorer of the game with 19. Junior Breean Walas chalked up 13 points to support Romey.

Columbia comes to East Hill with a similar experience last weekend. As Cornell’s travel partner, it also faced the Quakers and Tigers. On Friday night, Penn knocked off the Lions, but on Saturday the Lions proved the mightier cats by defeating the Tigers.

Soup for You

By ryan January 22, 2001

It’s 2001 and with the New Year comes resolutions. I am sure that most of you made resolutions that pertain to your health. Mine is to get abs like Britney Spears. Maybe you vowed to lose 10 pounds or to go to the gym at least four times a week. Many of these plans are a result of the holiday gorge fest in which most people gain an average of seven pounds. Perhaps you had too much pecan pie or just sat too long in front of the television watching football. Maybe you don’t know how you gained the weight, but you’re having trouble zipping that favorite pair of jeans. No matter, it is time to lose those extra inches. Forget Slim- Fast, the Zone or Atkins. You need a well rounded diet that doesn’t make your stomach grumble every five minutes. Sure Mama T’s may satisfy your appetite, but there are other choices with lots of nutrients and less calories. Soup is one such food. Not only are soups filling, but many have a lot of vegetables and other healthy ingredients. They are also easy to make and because of this have been a staple food for centuries. In the Middle Ages, soup was the basis for a monk’s diet because it was supposed to connect him to the poverty of the people. Those cooking techniques that did not use water or stock, such as roasting were so hearty that they were destined for use in wealthy kitchens. Making soups was also a way of using leftovers and taking advantage of rich-meat cooking stocks. Now soups are eaten by all social classes, but they are still perfect for a cheap, easy to make meal. You can buy yourself a can for $.89, but I recommend making it. Not only can you add the ingredients you want, but homemade soups are fresher and tastier than those that have been sitting in cans for weeks. Also, most soups do not take long to make, approximately a half hour, and the ingredients are cheap. The vegetable soup below is extremely easy to make. As long as you know how to chop up vegetables, you shouldn’t have a problem. Although I can’t offer any advice for your other resolutions, this should help you get back into your jeans. Old Fashioned Vegetable Soup Bring to a boil over high heat in soup pot: 3 cups Vegetable Stock 1/2 cup diced onions 1/2 cup diced carrots 1/2 diced celery 1/2 cup diced potatoes 1/2 cup 1-inch greenbeans 1/2 cup corn kernels 1/2 cup baby peas 1/2 cup lima beans 1 clove garlic, minced 1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste or 1/2 cup chopped stewed or drained canned tomatoes Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes. Add salt and pepper for taste. Archived article by Alexa Barron
Ithaca Police Investigate Texas Fugitive Sighting

By ryan January 22, 2001

Witnesses at a local restaurant on Friday said they recognized two of the seven Texas fugitives wanted for the Dec. 24 murder of a police officer in Texas. The Ithaca Police Department reported that an employee at Rogan’s restaurant on Route 96B, south of Ithaca, identified the two fugitives at 7:45 a.m. Friday. Patrick Murphy and Larry Harper would have been driving an older brown station wagon, according to a police bulletin. On Dec. 13, seven prisoners escaped from a Kenedy, Texas, prison. They are implicated in the holdup of a sporting goods store, which led to the murder of Texas police officer Aubrey Hawkins on Dec. 24. Before the investigation into the sighting was complete, Ithaca Police Chief Richard Basile told the Ithaca Journal on Saturday that “we’re taking [the report] very seriously … we don’t want to gamble.” However, a source close to the investigation commented yesterday that the affair was now considered unfounded, a rumor. After watching the TV program “America’s Most Wanted”, a Rogan’s employee called in the sighting of the two fugitives Friday morning, adding that she thought they had visited the restaurant the previous day as well, Rogan’s manager Bernard Collins said. The fugitives are believed to be armed and extremely dangerous, carrying with them an arsenal of over 40 firearms, according to the authorities. “[Police] are playing it up as if they weren’t here, but I’ll bet there’s a good chance they are,” said Collins, who was on duty at the restaurant at the time the two arrived. A $500,000 reward is offered by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for information leading to the seven fugitives’ capture. Since their escape, a task force of federal, state and area law enforcement agencies has fielded more than 2,000 tips regarding possible sightings of the fugitives in nearly a dozen states, including New York. The Rogan’s employee called a toll free tips line to the New York City Police, who then alerted local officers. At the restaurant, fear rose after the fugitives left and employees and patrons became aware that those who had entered may be among the seven fugitives. “After they left, it got kind of scary. Federal Marshalls, State Police and Ithaca Police showed up and took our security tapes to look at,” Collins said. But, Collins says, the restaurant is taking the event in stride. “It certainly got interesting, but we’ve have our fair share of craziness here,” he said, warily remembering a bomb threat that occurred four years ago, allegedly placed by students from Ithaca College.Archived article by Yoni Levine
