With Pitt's tournament being postponed, now is
your chance to register for the Terrapin Invitational
Tournament!

What, scared of a few tornadoes? Too close to the most
powerful city in the world? Be courageous and come and
show your support for the DC metropolitan area by
attending the TIT!

Or, come to gawk at greatness
when the MAQT displays a towel once actually used by
Bruce Perry (678 rushing yards, #3 in the country)
while working out!

Just email me, Maureen Smith
at freckles_at_..., and send your packets to
Andy Hu at anth_at_... and you, too, can come to
College Park.
