Bulls Grab Brand No. 1 at Draft

Sports Editor
WASHINGTON - Steve Francis was
not a happy man.
The Maryland guard still sat in the
MCI Center’s Green Room at 7:40 p.m.
and he certainly did not expect to still be
in his seat.
Neither did the fans in the arena.
Francis was their man and their pick to
be No. 1 in the NBA Draft.
But apparently, Francis and the
Washington fans did not think like the
Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls stunned Francis when they
selected Duke forward Elton Brand as
the No. 1 pick of the 1999 NBA Draft.
Brand was the consensus National
Player of the Year for 1998-99.
“(The Bulls) took a big gamble in not

Hill reprimanded Hatch for not being

Another reporter’s license tag was
checked through the DMV computer to
find out the person’s name.
Montgomery County Sheriffs Maj.
Tim Jordan confirmed he ran the check
on reporter Lynn Goswick when she
invoked her right not to identify herself.
Jordan had complied with Goswick’s
request for crime reports, but he would
not let her see concealed handgun per
mit applications.
“She knew who I was and claimed
she was a citizen of this country. I did
n't know who she was from anybody,”
Jordan said in a telephone interview
later. “I felt the tag check was necessary.”
He said he asked Goswick four times
to state her name. When she steadfastly
refused, he decided not to let her see the
permit applications.
“When someone comes in and won’t
tell us who she is, I’m going to force
their hand and take the necessary steps
to make them show me something,” he
said. “If people come in here with the
proper attitude and request to see cer
tain documents, they won't have any
problem seeing them.”

Brand said he was surprised to be the
No. 1 pick.
“I didn’t know who would go one,”
Brand said. “Lamar Odom, Steve
Francis, Wally Szczerbiak, they’re all
great players, so I didn’t know exactly
where I would fit in this draft.”
Francis was chosen No. 2 by
Vancouver and found it difficult to hide
his disappointment with the selection.
“As soon as I get a chance, I’ll take
(the Vancouver Grizzlies’ hat) off,”
Francis said. The NBA gives top draft
picks a team hat before they walk up to
shake NBA Commissioner David
Stem’s hand.
Francis said he really was not a big
fan of the NBA and did not pay much
attention to the professional game until
the start of the playoffs.

“Nobody is going to look at any

County Sheriff Fred Spruill told Cindi
Courbat. When she tried to cite the pub

of her face, “Listen, little lady, you are
going to tell me right now who you are.”
The reporter seeking pistol permit

she cited the public

“Don’t you tell me

said he didn't have to, Phillips said he

an on-the-spot decision: no access.
“I’m not going to let you look at
them, even if he says so, if I don’t know

Phillips said.

“A lot of groups have e-mail lists,”
Capowski said.
“It’s nice to send out letters to people
in that specific group.”
Warshaw said the Daughtry cam

of the campaign.
“We really haven’t started contacting
people through the Internet as much as
we’d like,” Warshaw said. “We do plan
to contact a large number of people by
e-mail.”
Warshaw said the e-mail messages
would take the form of regular newslet

“I really didn’t have a Dream Team,”
Francis said. “The team that I liked was
the Bulls, in like ‘95 and ‘96. After
Michael Jordan left I stopped liking pro

Charlotte took UCLA point guard
Baron Davis as the third overall pick.
Davis had not worked out with the
Hornets, but was considered the best
point guard in the draft.
Though rumors swirled that Davis
declined the Hornets’ invitation for a
workout so they would not draft him,
Davis maintained that a twisted ankle
kept him away from Charlotte.
Unlike Davis and Francis, who
seemed less-than-thrilled with the teams
that chose them, No. 4 pick Lamar
Odom expressed nothing but joy.
Odom, a Rhode Island junior, said he

“I think Ruby is very fair,” Gabriel
said. “I think she’ll be a good council
member because, when deciding on an
issue, she looks at both sides.”
I don’t always agree with her views,
but she’s always fair,” Gabriel said.
Sinreich said that her time on the
board had taught her effective problem
solving. But she learned more than just
efficiency, she said.
Sinreich explained that transporta
tion was a more complicated issue than
many people believe.
“Transportation really means more
than how to get from point A to point
B,” she said. “There should be connec
tions between land use and transporta
tion planing.”
Gabriel said people in their 50s did
not understand young people’s needs
and Sinreich’s youth could be an asset
to the town.
Sinreich said planning for the future
is something that she was capable of
doing.

Familiar Story Makes
Movie Sweet as 'Pie'
"American Pie" hysterically
delves into the mystery and,
more so, the reality that is
the first sexual experience.
By Justin Marlowe
Staff Writer
Do you remember your first time? If
so, then there’s no doubt you’ll find
some part of “American Pie” eerily
familiar.
This new Universal Studios release
examines the pressure and anticipation
surrounding the desire of four high
school boys to become initiated into the
world of sexual experience. Happily,
the movie does
so in an extra
ordinarily
funny and
realistic man
ner.
H Movie Review
"American Pie"
tiff
The subject
of sex, especially sex for the first time, is
not exactly uncharted territory for cin
ematic consideration. Usually, these
“coming of age” movies revolve around
a teen or group of teens who are striving
to loose their virginity for any number
of reasons. In that respect, “American
Pie” is in no way different from other
films of the genre.
But this movie is by no means run-of
the-mill. To begin with, the movie is
consistently hilarious. Too often, a
movie of this sort will roll along nicely
until the appointed cathartic moment,
from which point onward it will dissolve
into drivel and mush, limping to a lame
conclusion.
“American Pie”, however, keeps the
mood light throughout, which makes
the sentiment that much more genuine
when appropriate.
Secondly, the movie presents a wide

range of initial sexual experiences, from
the romanticized version on a moon
light gazebo between two people obvi
ously falling in love, to the more realis
tic awkward experience between two
people clearly destined not to end up
together.
Considering further this last example,
the depiction of the “first time” between
boyfriend and girlfriend Kevin and
Tracy (Thomas lan Nicholas and Tara
Reid) is probably as accurate a portray
al of reality as has ever been committed
to film. The tense moments, the uneasi
ness, the morning after are all shown for
the strikingly unromantic things they
frequently are.
The film does contain a few touching
moments, but these don’t get in the way
of the overarching irreverence toward
romanticization found in the film in gen
eral. The point is not to glorify sex -
instead, the movie aims to remove sex
from its position atop the mountain of
teen priority. By the end of the film,
most of the characters have grown con
siderably, and their views on sex and its
importance have changed accordingly.
Above all, the film is a comedy, and
it repeatedly succeeds in providing the
viewer with laugh-out-loud material.
The humor is almost entirely sexually
oriented, and often quite raunchy, but at
the same time refreshingly innocent.
There is no one to dislike in the film,
and everyone is portrayed as being
good at heart.
As well as avoiding shady characters,
the movie steers clear of the conse
quences of sex. Disease and pregnanev
are never mentioned, although safe sex
is implicitly promoted. But this is not an
educational film, and these omissions
make good sense for a light-hearted
comedy.
