Incomplete Panther swim team falls to ACCAL foes

Daily Planet Staff
Wednesday April 05, 2000

Being a varsity swimmer at St. Mary’s High is a bit like being a surfer in Nebraska. Head swimming coach Erin Heister is the first to admit that the school’s lack of an on-campus aquatic facility makes the sport of swimming a less appealing alternative than the more easily accommodated spring sports, like baseball, softball, volleyball and track. -more-

Rob Wrenn
Tuesday April 04, 2000

In regards to proposals for development of the City’s Oxford Street surface parking lot in downtown (Berkeley Daily Planet, April 1-2), it should be noted that the City Council voted in October to designate the Oxford lot as an “Opportunity Site for as much low income housing and multipurpose multicultural space as possible.” -more-

Jackets face Granada today

Daily Planet Staff
Tuesday April 04, 2000

Berkeley High boys tennis coach Dan Seguin didn’t mean it as a knock on his opponents when he announced that he would field several junior varsity players against league rival Granada today. In fact, with Berkeley’s depth, facing the JV ’Jackets may not be such a different experience from facing any other school’s varsity. -more-

Tuesday April 04, 2000

A lot of spectators at last weekend’s high school-collegiate San Diego Crew Classic may have thought the defending national champion Cal Golden Bears were the only Berkeley squad to show up. And as far as Berkeley High boys crew coach Eric Christiani is concerned, they were right. -more-

The truth about university's referendum on People's Park

John Tanghe
Monday April 03, 2000

It is sad that it seems that the ASUC (Associated Students of the University of California) now wants to follow in the not-so-proud recent tradition of statewide ballot initiatives. With the upcoming People’s Park referendum, the ASUC, or at least some faction within it, is manipulating simple words with supposed good intentions to dupe voters into supporting a sinister motive (a la Proposition 209, 21, 22, etc.). -more-

Art with 'Good Vibes'

Joe Eskenazi
Saturday April 01, 2000

Barge into the Kala Institute, bark out the old cliché “stop the presses!” and you very well may trigger a major shutdown. That’s because the 25-year-old art institute’s 8,500-square-foot main studio is inundated with more varieties of presses than you can shake a lithograph at. There are giant presses and baby-sized presses, venerable old presses and shiny new presses, presses used for one form of printing or another, presses used to meld one form of printing with another and even a press sporting an eye-catching, 6-foot-wide crank wheel that, over the past quarter-century, at least one artist has probably stood behind and suddenly felt compelled to lapse into his or her Long John Silver impersonation. -more-

Berkeley picks up first league win

Al Provinziano
Saturday April 01, 2000

The Yellowjackets began their second league match of the season as an underdog on Friday, hosting rival Amador Valley at San Pablo Park in Berkeley. The ’Jackets, who missed out on a month of preseason practice due to the rain, managed to plough over this obstacle with a 12-2 victory over the Dons. The game was halted in the bottom of the fifth by the umpires, due to a 10-run “mercy rule.” -more-

The San Ramon boys tennis team learned that lesson on Friday afternoon at the Berkeley High tennis courts, winning the top two singles spots, but still falling to the notoriously deep Yellowjackets, 7-2. -more-
