"The UMass offense was relentless," said senior Co-Captain Jen Gifford, who missed her ninth straight game with a knee injury. "They were good in the air."

WHEN comedian Jackie Mason recently called New York City mayoral candidate David L. Dinkins a "fancy schvartzer with a moustache" who looked like a "Black model without a job," Jewish and Black groups were quick to criticize him. ("Schvartzer" is a derogatory Yiddish term for Blacks.)
But when Mason performed similar material (without mention of Dinkins) this summer at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the audience did not respond with outrage. They laughed. Mason's derogatory remarks about Blacks and Hispanics were just "part of the act."
Crimson Key members have responded to these charges by stressing that their remarks were not just directed at women, but also at cancer patients, the dead and administrators, among others. They say that their intent was not to be sexist, but just to make people laugh.
