ust one more point —continued from page 17— evidenced by the sudden resurrection of his batting average. While hampered by the shoulder problem last year, the 5-8 180-pounder was barely able to hit his weight. Unfortunately, Ganci now reports his shoulder is sore again, and as a result he has been assigned the chore of full-time designated hitter. Yet the positive factor is that Ganci’s inactivity on tne diamond encouraged him to work-out all this winter on “ the weight machine. Phil admits having dropped three pounds; but says he’s added inches to his chest arms and wrists. • - * * - fans to boycott the Pirates’ home games until the strike is resolved and the umpires have returned to their accustomed positions. In a city like Pittsburgh, such a movement might Se the first step toward putting real pressure on the owners. In fact, the Pirate front office was left reeling after a Friday night game with division rival Philadelphia drew a scant 7,000 spectators. From the players’ standpoint, the strike is bound to be viewed as the year’s biggest frustration - curve-ball like Sutton’s because if amateur pitchers threw such gems, they wouldn’t remain amateurs very long. This week , Montreal’s Ellie Valentine was suspended for three games for shoving an umpire. Although this type of behaxior is not uncommon, chances are the Expo management will miss the rightfielder’s talents enough to reach into their pockets. Currently, the most heated element in the strike involves the pennant-questing San Francisco Giants! During a recent contest, a 28-minute argument forced the usually unshakeable Vida Blue to lose his rhythm, probably allowing the New York Mets’ Joel Youngslood to crack a three-run homer after play resumed. Certainly if the Giants fail to win the title by a single game, the club’s owner will not be able to blame anyone but himself and his collegues for being stubborn enough to take the professionalism out of professional baseball. Major League Umpires have begun the fourth week of the strike that is threatening to ruin the credibility of the nation’s leading spectator sport. Team owners apparently feel they can call the .arbitrators’ bluff and hold out paying what amounts to $20,000 per team. But the plan is beginning to backfire - just ask the Pittsburgh Pirates, Montreal expos or San Francisco Giants. Doctor DeSoto, a nickname the Bulls have affectionately labeled Ganci with, popped his first of two home runs in Wednesday’s doubleheader to the opposite field. It wasn’t exactly a perfect gopher pitch either. Ganci reached out for a change-up and lofted a high pop to the power alley in right. Cornell’s Greg Allen drifted back only to look up and see the ball had disappeared beyond the picket fence. Power, pure power. I < 8 Strong and influential steel-working unions have asked just ask the victims of Don Sutton’s 12 strike -out perfourmance in which six batters took a called third strike. Sutton’s curve-ball is known for tailing away from the plate at the last instant. And taking nothing away from the Dodger right-hander’s ability, one has to wonder whether or not the umpire might have decided on the strike call before the pitch crossed the plate. It’s doubtful that amateur umpires presently calling the games have ever seen a Eve fears . ontinued from page 15— • • “A lot of these people just don’t have enough to survive,” he said. “The alternative is crime, prostitution or poor health. Bodies are being weakened considerable. When we deny them proper diets and nutrition so their bodies can be strong, we end up paying $60 or $70 for a hospital visit.” appropriated funds are being spent. Eve said it was a “real struggle” to fight off the national movement of “proposition thirteens” to prevent the powerless from being “trounced on.” “We gave a billion dollar tax deduction, but it didn’t really help the little guy,” he said. “It helped the middle management guy and the higher echelons to a greater degree.” * He fears the development of a two or three class society, with tl e upper tiers making the decisions and foregetting the fate of the lower classes. “I have been more frightened in the last two or three years than I’ve ever been in my whole political life,” he said. ’’The national indicators are not very pleasant.” . , Eve disturbed by the willingness of the Legislature to increase Medicaid benefits while denying welfare recipients a basic increase that he feels would improve their health considerably. “We must begin to get state agencies to look at the urban needs and problems of the poor and to use the collective resources of those agencies to meet that particular need,” he said.

Also under some question was $270.29 in toll calls, Killigrew explained. Continual analyses “I saw it coming, but I was still disappointed,” said Killigrew of the report on Black Student Union (BSU) expenditures. “When $1600 is spent on food and drink, I think those costs are getting a little high.” He pointed to “too much recreational and leisure costs, but not enough programs academically or culturally inclined.” Interested?
