ROUNDUP 14-2: the Gauchos are 19-7 and 10-7.

Charle Smith has the green light to shoot at w11l, a liberty that Georgetown coach John Thompson wishes his guard would use more often. Smith got mto the shooting mode just in time aga n t Villanova last night, scoring 10 of his 24 points in a second-half run that carried the econd-ranked Hoyas to a 76-62 Big East victo- ry m Landover, Md. Georgetown led, 35-33, at halftime. But the Hoya (23-3, 13-2) opened the second half by m1 1ng their first eight shots and five of six free throws to fall behind by nine. Then Smith took charge. "I had to go out and look for my shot," he said. "I knew I had to start shooting the ball, so I did. Luckily, most of them went in." A layup by Smith with 13:55 left ended the Hoyas' dry spell. He added two three-pointers and a short jumper in a 20-6 run that gave Georgetown a 56-51 lead with 7:51 left. Loy Vaught scored 16 and the No. 10 Wolverines used an 18-0 midgame run to pull away in East Lansing The surge sent Michigan (22-6, 10-5 in the Big Ten) from a five-point deficit to a 13- pomt lead.

affairs and th~D basketball team is a WCAC playoff'against Pepper- dine on Saturday in San Francisco. And since the Toreros are 0-2 against Pepperdine this year, 0-1 in San Francisco, and 3-7 on Saturdays, it could be said that while the fat lady hasn't yet sung, she is standing in the wings with an atomizer in her hand and an aria in her heart. In their home gym last night, the Toreros beat USIU 91-78. USIU's final record, then, is 11-17. USD's record is 8-19. In neither case was it a total loss. Eight of the 11 guys on the USIU roster were playing their first season for the Gulls, and for seven of those eight it was the first year of Di vision I experience. Twelve of the 14 Toreros listed have one year or less in Division I. "We underestimated college bas- ketball." said USD forward Gylan Dottin, who Friday could well be named the WCAC Freshman of the Year. "The seniors told us what to expect, but we didn't believe them. "We started out 3-0, we won at New Mexico and it was like, 'Can anything be hard?' It was good for our confidence, but we didn't build on it. We got a little big-headed, cocky. It was a freshman mistake. We learned from it. We're better because Steve Smith, a junior guard, start- ed all but two of USIU's 56 games in the last two seasons. "At the beginning of the year ev- eryone had their own little ways," he said. "Now everyone's together. I won't forget playing at Syracuse (a 135-93 loss to the then-third-ranked Orangemen.) That was not fun at all, but the team learned from it. We learned how hard it is to really play in Division I." So in one sense, it's not really over. With 22 of 25 players on the two teams eligible to return next season, this year's lessons shoul(j carry over to the next. But really, Pepperdine aside, the 1988-89 season is over, done, kaput, a memory. There will be no more 6 a.m. prac- tices for USD. No more USIU prac- tices in a gym shoehorned into a Mira Mesa warehouse where the walls are the out-of-bounds lines and a running layup is an invitation to a of it."

County, said, "We're glad to learn that the university recognizes that only the pro-abortion side has been presented. "Allowing only the students and staff to attend (Weddington's talk) is a strange resolve to the issue. The students are the primary concern as recipients of this pro- abortion message," Patton said. Student charges of censorship reportedly followed the administration's action to dose the speech to the public.
