Guard John Bajusz '87 won rookie of the year honors in the Ivy basketball league. Center Ken Bantum '85, a cocaptain, was named second team All- Ivy. Bajusz and the other co-captain, forward Brad Bomba '84, received honorable mention. Bantum led the team in scoring with 369 points, followed by Bajusz's 279, Drew Martin '86 with 276, and Bomba with 273. The team survived charges that coach Tom Miller, in his fourth year, was too intense and harsh in his coaching. Penn and Princeton, which dominated the league for years, no longer appeared to have the recruiting edge that kept them on top, and other teams and their coaches, Miller among them, were credited with making the league more competitive. Cornell tied for second behind league champ Princeton. Don Dickason '53, now dean of admissions at Penn State, adds to our report on the award of an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship to a Cornellian. He notes that Dan Mackesey '77, a previous winner of such a grant, is the first recipient to serve later on the selection committee. Mackesey starred in lacrosse and soccer. Dickason himself was a championship wrestler, and serves on the committee. Dave Bliss '65, a former Big Red basketball player, got a measure of attention in the NCAA championships when the team he coaches, Southern Methodist, pushed No. 2 Georgetown to the final buzzer before losing in the West Regional preliminaries, 36-37. Darren Eliot '83, the backup goalie on the Canadian Olympic hockey team this winter, is in the pro ranks now, a member of the New Haven Nighthawks in the American Hockey League, part of the Los Angeles Kings system. He learned last year that he had diabetes, and has spent the winter months adjusting to insulin treatment as well as playing hockey nearly fulltime. The athletic department will run its fifth annual Summer Sports School this year, with one-week sessions from June 24 through August 3.

Spring reconstruction The job of rebuilding a number of spring season teams that were denuded by graduation began during the March recess. Men's tennis, baseball, and lacrosse all recorded their first wins early in the going. Lacrosse lost its opener 12-13 to Adelphi. Attackman Kevin Cook '84 led scoring in both this match and the next one, a 10-5 win over Harvard. Baseball started with a loss to William Paterson, in Florida, 10-12, split with Florida Atlantic U, 10-1 and 3-5, and then lost to nationally ranked Miami U 6-8 after leading 6-1 after 6V2 innings. Men's tennis won %Vi-Vi over Rochester, and lost to Penn State 4-5, 3-6 to Navy, and 2-7 to James Madison. The women lost their opener to James Madison 2-7 as well. Men's track finished second and the women third in meets in California against Santa Barbara and Fresno State. Chris Chrysostomou '87 won the men's triple jump and was second in the long jump; Erik Bernstein '87 won the javelin, Tom Basting '86 the 1,500 meter run, and Tim Trible '86 the high jump. Lauren Kulik '85 won the women's triple jump in a Cornell record 38 feet, 3 A inches and was third in the long jump. Pam Carter '84 took the 800, and Amy Bragdon '87 the 400 hurdles.

A trip for people who care about history, too You probably know that Peru can offer you an incredible variety of birds —more than 1600 species. That is partly because of its diverse terrain, from arid beaches across coastal hills, and up into the lofty Andes, three miles high in places. Then down through rain forests and out onto the Amazon plain. Sample them all with us. And you get the best: a small group led by a distinguished Peruvian naturalist and Dr. Douglas Lancaster, former director of Cornell's renowned Laboratory of Ornithology. Birding aside, youΊI visit ancient Inca ruins including Machu Picchu, and stay at an elegant mountainside hotel. July 28-August 15.
