Having been passed over the year before for varsity status, the team vowed to work harder than ever to prove that they were worthy of the honor. It was very frustrating to see a team (women ' s water polo) get boosted when we have a significantly better record than them, simply because we would have had more start- up costs, commented the team ' s goalie junior Jennifer Zorza, an LSA junior. The team saw through the adversity, however, and had a successful year. We have always been one of the strongest teams around, commented the starting center Alison Lam, an LSA senior. The team also did a great deal of traveling this year with the majority of their schedule being away tournaments, although the Wolverines hosted one of their own during April. Traveling is always really fun because you learn so much about your teammates and become more com- patible with them, explained LSA sophomore Alison Hendricks. Organizations 349

t K s With a strong work ethic both on and off the field, and a determination to succeed as in the past, the men ' s lacrosse team was a team with a vision. This team was focused on defending last year ' s conference title and getting back to St. Louis, stated head coach John Paul. They ended up in St. Louis at the USL1A national tournament by winning the CCLA conference cham- pionship, along with being ranked fourth nationally. The team reached the quarterfinals before bowing out. The team began to prepare for the 2000 season, where they had a high return rate of players and a national ranking of seventh. Lacrosse had been at the University since the 1930 ' s, but the current club team was formed in 1965. Graduate students at the University, who had played the sport as undergraduates out east, started out the squad. It had evolved much since then, with aggres- sive tryouts, strict eligibility rules, full- time coaches and national competi- a c r s s t tion. This club sport was on par with a varsity one. Perhaps one of the things the men ' s lacrosse team was most remembered for was their leading off of the Naked Mile. On the last day of classes, these players were the ones running in the front, leading the way for the rest of the participants. The men sure knew how to have a good time. But along with all the fun, the men ' s lacrosse team still knew how to get its work done. The team averaged a 3.3 GPA, even in concentrations like en- gineering. The team definitely prides itsel f on begin able to maintain these high standards, both on and off the field, Paul commented. The amount of work that these men put into their sport was truly remarkable. The men ' s lacrosse team was truly a bright spot at the University. Though not a varsity sport, they put their all into lacrosse regardless. They showed love for what they were doing, both on the field and in the classroom. n another bout versus Michigan Scate, st nior Residential College student Pierce Dav spins out from a defensive push.

Enrficc i The Michigan Journal of Political Science was the oldest political science journal in the country. In its 1 5th year of operation, the journal was published twice each year for the benefit ofstudents, faculty, and administration at the University and colleges across the nation. The journal ' s 15-person staff, which consisted of an editor in chief as well as senior editors and associate editors, worked hard throughout the year to select three or four scholarly papers worthy of publication in each semester ' s journal. This year, staff members had a table at Festifall and promoted the journal by speaking in various political science classes on campus. The main purpose of promot- ing the journal to the academic community was not to acquire potential staff members, but instead to encourage students to contribute a term paper or an honors thesis for consideration by the journal. Associate editor Seva Gunitskiy, a sophomore in political science and econom- ics, commented, Usually we don ' t recruit staff members, because people who are interested in being a part of the journal have heard about us and will seek us out. Under- graduate and graduate students in all areas of study were welcome to join the Michigan Journal of Political Science; potential members had to fill out an application, submit a writing sample, and interview with current staff members in order to be considered. As a staff member, students spent around four hours each week attending meetings and reviewing papers th had been submitted. Undergraduate and graduate st dents from around the country contributed papers to tl ; journal, and the papers were then evaluated and selected f publication. Chosen papers contained original resear and a relevance to political science, though papers fro English, history, and philosophy classes were often electe Gunitskiy said, They must have merit as a scholai article, but basically we ' re looking for a ' good ' paper just any professor would. In selecting three or four papt from the typical pool of over 30, editors reached a genei consensus on which were worthy of publication. Not eve staff member read each paper, but we value the opinio and judgments of our co-workers in making decision: added Gunitskiy. In addition to students ' submitt papers, the journal contained four or five book revie- about recently published books that had some relation political science. The Michigan Journal of Political Science was impc tant to both the students who had papers published in it well as the students who worked to print it. For studei whose papers were published, the journal was a way to f recognized in the academic community. For staff mei bers, the journal was a great way to further an interest j political science in a different way. Gunitskiy comment.. It ' s nice to be able to read someone else ' s paper and e it, rather than write another paper for another class. O u c c u O L= CL.
