A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Gazette Readers:

You may or may not know who I am, but my name is Karla Gilbride, and I’m one of
the many
names and faces behind the Daily Gazette. Unfortunately, though, after today
I’ll be behind
it no longer as graduation and life outside the Swat bubble are quickly coming
into view.
After writing for the Gazette since sophomore year and helping to edit it for
the past two
semesters, this publication has become an important part of my life at
Swarthmore, and as we
get ready to send it out for the last time while I’m on campus, I just wanted to
let you
know how much I’m going to miss being a part of this team effort and also thank
all of you
for being the involved, responsive readership that you are.

I’ve learned an incredible amount through working on the Gazette for the past
three years.
I’ve learned how numerous facets of the school work because I went to meetings
and spoke
with administrators that I probably never would have gone to or met with if it
weren’t for
the Gazette. I’ve learned how to talk comfortably to people I don’t know and
write
pseudo-intelligently about subjects I know nothing about, like golf and college
basketball.
Most importantly, though, I’ve learned how to accept and benefit from criticism,
like when
you guys tell me that my weather jokes are atrocious or that my world news
coverage was
biased or inaccurate. Honestly, though, as much as we may sometimes gripe, I
think I speak
for the entire Gazette staff when I say that we truly appreciate every comment
you guys send
us, even the negative ones, because they show us that you’re taking the time to
read what we
write and care enough to tell us what you think about it. And that’s what keeps
getting us
up in the morning, or rather keeping us up at night, to continue getting the
Gazette out and
into your inboxes on a daily basis.

I have complete faith that Jeremy Schifeling, Pei Pei Liu, and the other members
of the
Gazette staff who will be continuing on next year will make this publication
even stronger
than it’s been during my years here. As I make the transition from Gazette
insider to
Gazette subscriber, I’m sure I’ll find the Gazette to be an invaluable source of
information
about life at Swat. And I’m sure I’ll also find plenty of things to complain
about, so watch
out guys!

Thanks so much to all of you for a great three years, and good luck on finals to
those of
you who have them!

Sincerely,
Karla Gilbride

NEWS REPORT

1) Goldstein wins wing-eating contest

by Jeremy Schifeling
Gazette Section Editor

Randy Goldstein ’05 was crowned Swarthmore’s first-ever wing-eating champion in
last night’s
Sharples spiketravaganza.  Goldstein beat out 11 other competitors to earn the
title, eating
56 wings during the course of the evening.

The competition, billed as “The Glutton Bowl,” was put together by Spike, which
brought in
Bill “El Wingador” Simmons to MC the event.  Simmons, a three-time Wing Bowl
champion,
presided over the event with gusto and, well, size – Simmons stands 6’5″ and
weighs 280
pounds according to his website, which may even be a bit conservative.

Simmons, in fact, was the main impetus behind the Sharples showdown.  Spike
co-editor
Christine Smallwood ’03 discovered “El Wingador” through his website and after
suggesting an
article on the Philadelphia-area resident, proposed that he host Swarthmore’s
very own
wing-eating contest.

And thus, “The Glutton Bowl” was born.

Onto this stage stepped 12 hungry competitors, each filled with a deep and
abiding lust for
poultry.  And before them sat dozens and dozens of plates, each filled with
wings.  Spicy
chicken wings.

As Simmons gave the contestants a brief pre-game pep-talk, you could see the
look of
gustatory desire in each student’s eyes – a look that would would turn to
sickened disgust
in just 10 minutes’ time.  But, with the ringing of the ceremonial gong, the
eaters had no
time to consider the nauseous fate which was awaiting them at the end of the
contest, and
promptly dug into their deep-fried feast.

It was a fierce and messy first-round, with the massive Sharples crowd hollering
for greater
and greater consumption.  As the round wore on, hot sauce spread everywhere and
physical and
psychological fatigue set in; competitors began glancing at their neighbors’
plates and
eating became a matter of willpower rather than impulse.

However, a few hearty souls stayed focused on the task and continued to munch
away at a
rapid pace.  Thus, as the round came to a close, three determined eaters were
chosen to move
on to the final round: Jared Leiderman ’05, Randy Goldstein ’05, and Feng He
’03.

After a 10-minute break, the competition resumed and once again, the audience
urged the
eaters to  continue their masochistic mastication.  This time though, the
competitors faced
an uphill battle as their minds started to come to terms with the plight of
their stomachs.

He, who was the smallest of the finalists, was the first to throw in the towel. 
Barely able
to lift another wing and being counseled by Simmons, he realized that his
first-round binge
had caught up to him.

However, He had few regrets. “Had I have any prior competitive-eating
experience, I probably
would have held back a bit [in the first round],” said the junior. “But it
turned out it was
a good thing that I didn’t do that because I just made it to the second round.
But I was so
full I really couldn’t eat any more by second round.”

Meanwhile, Leiderman was also running into a wall.  Despite the constant
motivation of a
large cheering section, the dose of reality provided by the intermission had
tempered his
previous wing-eating ferocity.

“What got me was the break, really,” said Leiderman afterwards.  “It gave time
for the first
round to settle and for my stomach to send messages to my brain.”

Thus, with his two competitors faltering, the contest was Goldstein’s to win. 
And win he
did as the frosh continued his steady devastation of the chicken population
throughout the
five-minute championship round.

So, when Simmons declared Goldstein the winner, after analyzing the remains on
each
participant’s plate using a 90% flesh-consumption rule, it was hardly a surprise
to the
crowd, who vigorously cheered their new champion.

Hoisting the Glutton Bowl trophy high into the air, Goldstein appeared shocked
by his
victory.

“I thought there was no way I was going to win,” Goldstein said following the
contest.  “I
was just hoping not to finish last.”

Goldstein attributed his success to pacing, endurance, and a helpful contingent
of fans.  “I
had a great cheering section, especially Dave Thomas ’02 who kept me posted on
the
competition and gave me constant encouragement,” said the victor.

In the end, the Spike editors were awed by the performance of the participants. 
“I was
impressed with the competitors – frankly, we didn’t expect anyone to eat more
than 50
wings,” said Jeanne Gardner ’02.  Fellow editor Alyssa Timin ’03 was also
“definitely
impressed, in a disgusted sort of way.”

Additionally, the editors enjoyed working with Simmons.  As described by
Smallwood, the
“gentle giant” was a “really great, down-to-earth, wonderful man.”

“Everyone should support him if he participates in next year’s Wing Bowl,” said
Smallwood.

So, with Swat’s first wing-eating contest in the history books, what’s next for
the
participants?

Leiderman vowed revenge, just as soon as he regains his appetite: “You know, I’m
not even
sure I’ll eat for a while.  I may even forgo my second dinner tonight.  Insofar
as the
wings, I’ll be back into practice soon enough.  I want that crown – Randy got
lucky this
time.”

And He, when asked about his plans to eat wings again, swore off the entire
species: “I
don’t know how long. Not just wings – I am through with any chicken product for
the near
future.”

Two out of the three Spike editors, it should be noted, do not each chicken
wings to begin
with.  When asked if last night’s event would change her mind, Gardner said, “I
have never
eaten chicken wings.  I hate chicken wings, and always have.”

And Goldstein, for his part, wanted to use his experience to encourage future
Swatties to
take the wing-eating challenge: “To those who want to step up to the next level
in
wing-eating, I say just go for it.  I almost decided against entering, which
obviously would
have been a big mistake.”

3) Swarthmore police report

from the Swarthmore Police Department

* On 4/29/2002 Sergeant Stufflet was investigating a possible abandoned auto in
the 300
block of Park Avenue.  Investigation revealed the vehicle had been stolen in
Newark,
Delaware.  The vehicle was towed from the scene and the Newark, Delaware police
were
attempting to contact the owner.

*****

4) World news roundup

* A Palestinian policeman was killed in the violence that erupted when Israeli
forces raided
the West Bank city of Nablus early Friday morning “in order to prevent terror
attacks and
destroy the terror infrastructure,” according to an Israeli army statement.
Although Israel
withdrew from its major military offensive in April after heavy U.S. pressure,
the army has
recently resumed short raids against suspected Palestinian terrorist strongholds
in the West
Bank.

* Father Paul Shanley, a Boston-based Roman Catholic priest accused of raping a
boy in a
suburban church three times in seven years, was arrested yesterday in San Diego.
The alleged
victim, now 24, reported that the assaults took place in St. Jean’s parish in
Newton, a
suburb of Boston, between 1983 and 1990. Shanley will face these criminal
charges separately
from the civil lawsuits already being levied against him by other alleged
victims. His is
the second major case of sexual abuse by a priest in the Boston archdiocese;
earlier this
year, John Geoghan was sentenced to nine to 10 years in prison for assaulting a
10-year-old
boy. The sex abuse scandals have brought Boston Cardinal Bernard Law and the
entire Catholic
Church under fire in recent months, with Pope John Paul II calling an
unprecedented
emergency meeting with the U.S. Cardinals last month in the Vatican to deal with
the
situation.

* Two students were killed yesterday at the University of Kentucky when they
crashed through
a glass window on the third floor of a dormitory and fell to the ground. Jeffrey
Pfetzer,
19, and Matthew Rzepka, 22, were apparently wrestling in the lobby of the Kirwan
Tower
dormitory when they struck the window, which shattered on impact. Pfetzer was a
student at
the school; Rzepka was a student at Western Kentucky University, visiting his
brother on
campus when the accident occurred.

6) Correction

Yesterday’s article on the fascist counterrevolution incorrectly implied that
Matt Rubin ’03
and David Berger ’04 were the sole creators of the demonstration plan.  In fact,
Denise
Finley ’03, a member of the Fascist Europe class, also conceived of the idea
independently
of Rubin and Berger.  The Gazette apologizes for the mistake.

SPORTS UPDATE

1) World sports roundup

* For only the second time since their franchise entered the NBA in 1976-77, the
New Jersey
Nets have advanced to the second round of the playoffs after defeating the
Pacers 120-109 in
a riveting Game 5 which stretched into two overtimes. Indiana’s Reggie Miller
did his best
to derail the Nets’ bid to advance, tying the game at 96 at the end of
regulation with a
35-foot three-pointer at the buzzer and tying it again with a two-handed dunk
with 3.1
seconds remaining in the first overtime. But the Nets’ Jason Kidd scored 20 of
his career
playoff-best 31 points in the fourth quarter and the overtimes and enabled New
Jersey to
come out on top in only the third series-deciding game in NBA history to go to
double-overtime. The Nets now move on to a best-of-seven series against the
Charlotte
Hornets. Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons edged out the Toronto Raptors 85-82 in
Game 5 of
their series to advance to the second playoff round for the first time since
1991. Detroit
will play the winner of the Boston-Philadelphia series, with Game 1 set for
Sunday.

* Detroit Red Wings goaltender Dominik Hasek recorded 23 saves in his seventh
career playoff
shutout as the Wings took the first game in their Western Conference semifinal
series with
the St. Louis Blues by a score of 2-0. Three players from each team received
ten-minute
misconduct penalties when a last-minute brawl broke out after St. Louis’ Keith
Tkachuk
bumped Hasek. The second game in the best-of-seven series will take place on
Saturday in
Detroit. In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Ottawa
Senators’ Patrick
Lalime became only the 14th goalie in NHL history to notch four shutouts in the
same
postseason. Following his three shutouts of Philadelphia in the first round, he
stopped 27
shots against the Toronto Maple Leafs to lead his team to a 5-0 Game 1 win. The
victory also
ended Ottawa’s six-game losing streak against the Leafs and marked their first
win in
Toronto in six postseason visits.

* Seattle Mariners outfielder Mike Cameron hit four solo home runs in the first
five innings
of Seattle’s 15-4 rout of the Chicago White Sox yesterday, tying a Major League
record and
becoming only the 13th player in the league’s 100-plus-year history to hit four
homers in a
single game. The last person to accomplish the feat was Mark Whiten on September
7, 1993,
who did it in the second game of a double-header for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Cameron also
added his name to the history books by joining with Bret Boone as the first
teammates ever
to hit back-to-back homers twice in the same inning. They each went deep twice
during a
ten-run first inning, and Cameron hit his next two shots in his next two at-bats
in the
third and fifth. Before last night’s game, Cameron had just five home runs in 91
at-bats and
was known primarily as a defensive outfielder.
