InNovember '93, after a stel– lar performance in the selec– tion tournament, USD's College Bowl team entered into a wa– ger with their Cal-Poly coun– terparts. "Well, basically we bet them that if we won, we'd get their student union," said team cap– tain, Matthew Bosulich. "If we lost, they'd get the UC." After clearing the matter with Randolph Budge, Direc– tor ofUSD's Buildingand Prop– erty Coordinator, the wager was notarized and made offi- cial. "In hindsight," said Budge, "maybe it wasn't such a good idea, but I must say that our team felt really positive about theirvistorywhen we did this." After the two teams met at the regional championships at Cal State Fullerton in mid Feb- Members of the BiologyClub came across a rare species of worm, while insoecting the IM field, during a field trip last March. The worm, a relative of the hookworm, is commonly known as a BrownGumflick. Bearing no relation to the Green Gumflick, this species was for– merly believed to reside only in humid subtropical climates, with large shaded areas and acidic soil. "You can't imagine our thrill at this discovery," said club presi– dent, Eugene McCarthy. "Nematoda Glucogi;lus, is hard to find outside of Florida, and there its very existence is threatened by Disneyworld's constant ex– pansions." TheBioClubsubmitted their dis– covery to the EPA, which sent in– spectorsdown toverify thesighting.

Endangered Species Act forces clo– sure of Intramural field for habitat

"We were naturally skepti– cal," said EPA agent Pollack. "We've never seenNematoda Glucogylus this far west before, so we had to check it out for our selves." After verifying the situation, EPA representatives sent a team to make a demographic study of the Gumflick's population. The result of the study showed a census of sevenworms inhabit– ing the field. "We found it necessary to cordon off the area, and make it a special endangered ecological habitat," said Pollack. "We had to act fast if we wanted to pre– serve this creature fromgenocide at the hands of uncaring ath– letes." Despite protest by the Uni– versity, the EPA went ahead with legal action to appropriate the land from USD, and make it
