FROM THE I'SC ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT _ ^ BnlJlir Li the entire Greek Village.” It’s the second time this sea son the radio show has gone on location; last month, it was host ed at the Russell House. Equestrian performs well at spring show The USC equestrian team held its Intercollegiate Horse Show Association spring show Saturday at its home stables, the Irish Oaks Equestrian Centre, in Irmo. All teams from IHSA Zone 5 Region 2 came out to compete in spring-like temperatures. Carolina was led by freshman open rider Courtney Borton, who won the Western portion of the Zone 5 Region 2 IHSA com petition held at USC’s home fa cility. Borton won open horseman ship and was fourth in reining to win the high point Western rider award. Junior Kyra Hufford won her Intermediate II clas.s and freshman Laura Pipken was sec ond in Advanced I. In hunter seat, freshman Chelsea Koornick won her sec tion of open flat and was third in intermediate over fences to tie Jennifer Moody from Auburn for high point hunt seat Rider. After a challenging ride-off to determine high point and re serve rider, Koornick finished behind Moody. Other second-place finishes were made by junior Lindsey Wilson in novice over fences, junior Lisa Boykin in interme diate fences, senior Michelle Jenkins in walk/trot, senior Jessica Keels and freshman Ashley Williams in novice flat, and sophomore Lindsey Weathers in advanced walk/trot/canter. These, along with Koomick’s finishes, gave the Gamecocks a fourth-place finish in hunter seat. “It’s great to win High Point,” Borton said. “It was an exciting win, but I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the support of my team.” Clemson tickets to be sold Saturday Tickets for the South Carolina-Clemson baseball game on March 2 in Columbia will be on sale Saturday after noon inside Sarge Frye Field during the South Carolina Duquesne baseball game.

This report was compiled from the USC Athletics Department. Rothenberg CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 free agency rolls around^it be comes more and more unlikely that the players will stay. It’s a shame, and the NHL isn’t doing too much to address this. Teams like the Rangers, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Colorado Avalanche and Toronto Maple Leafs are starting to price their fellow franchises out of exis tence. While there are probably sev-' eral cities that should have never gotten NHL clubs to begin with, the line between the elite and the dregs has been clearly distin guished. The cream of the league is ris ing to the top, and with the excep tion of the free-spending Rangers, seems to be firmly set. Rangers General Manager Glen Sather knows what it’s like to be strapped for cash. During the later years of his tenure in Edmonton, he derided the fiscally irresponsi ble teams — ones like the one he now works for, clearly forgetting his roots among the bright lights of Broadway. Is this a surprise? It’s probably not. For years, Madison Square Garden has given its teams a carte blanche to sign and trade for whomever they could afford. While New York City may be where the world’s economy pul sates, it’s also the same place where the NHL has begun its downfall. Bettman and the league’s Board of Governors must come down hard on teams like the Rangers. There has {o be some pressure from within the league to convince Sather that his management strategies aren’t working. Outsiders see what’s going wrong, but little is being done to fix it. And the .Rangers shouldn’t really be the only ones singled out — the other teams in a similar po sition should take a good look at themselves too. Otherwise, it may be when more than the NHL’s rinks are freezing over to end the stalemate that is bound to happen in 2004. Rothenberg is a fourth-year sports and entertainment management student.

We are hoping to get all Greeks more involved with the basketball program, es pecially after the huge win over Clemson last week. “We invite all Greeks to at tend, and we are thrilled we can not only show off our house, but
