It's Friday night, 9:30. You've just spent the last eight hours setting up an experiment for the third time. You haven't eaten since noon and you must admit that even though it's a bit lonely, you're kind of glad nobody is around to witness the grumbling of your stomach. If you remember correctly, you might have some leftover pizza to eat once you get home. Just when you're starting to wonder when exactly that might be, your timer goes off. You gather up your things and walk down the hall to the developing room to wait the minute and a half it takes to see the results of your day's work. And, surprise! The film is blank, your experiment has failed and you walk sadly to your car knowing that you get to do it all over again tomorrow (yes, that's right, on Saturday).

The UC Irvine women's volleyball team swept UC Riverside in its Big West Conference opener (25-21, 25-18, 25-17) behind 15 kills from senior Lauren Kellerman. Fellow senior Shannon Homan (pictured above) registered eight kills and only committed one error. UCI will play two games at Crawford Court this week. They will take on Cal State Northridge on Friday at 7 p.m. and Cal State Fullerton Saturday at 7 p.m.

So you found out you're an Anteater. You probably haven't started practicing chants of "Rip ‘Em 'Eaters" for sideline cheers just yet, and you may have to ignore the snickers for a while when you tell your friends back home your sporting event war cry is a ferocious, "Zot!" And how about explaining to them that accompanying hand gesture? Haven't heard of it yet? Try bringing together your thumb, middle and ring fingers to make hind legs and a tail. Have your index and pinky fingers stand tall to make arms ready for a bear hug defense. Your hand may cramp now, but it'll become second nature by Winter Quarter. It's your Anteater, and it's reared and ready to attack...
