BY PHILISSA CRAMERA committee will examine the structure of Brown’sadministration in the first phase of a possible reor-ganization, said Executive Vice President forFinance and Administration ElizabethHuidekoper.

The University’s goal is to rearrange its adminis-tration to best support Brown’s academic missionand goals, she said.

Huidekoper said an eight-member advisorygroup will spend the winter and spring interview-ing administrators to find out what they like aboutthe existing organizational structure, as well asany challenges or problems they have experi-enced.

Vice President for Campus Life and StudentServices Janina Montero said some administratorsare anxious about the process but understand itsnecessity.

An undertaking like the administrative reorgan-ization “doesn’t come without some apprehensionand change,” she said.

Huidekoper said the group plans to make rec-ommendations by the end of the semester.

But she said any changes that arise from theprocess will not happen until after the senioradministration discusses them.

“I don’t know if there will be significantchanges, but clearly there are areas where peoplethink we can be more efficient,” Huidekoper said.

She said the committee’s investigation will nottarget any specific areas of the University’s admin-istration.

“There is no grand design that anybody has inmind,” she said.

Huidekoper said the timing of the administra-tive reorganization is not explicitly related to thebudget crisis, but she said it does have a relation-ship to the hiring freeze for all non-academic per-sonnel instituted on Dec. 23.

“We’ll have more latitude to effect some changebecause of the hiring freeze,” Huidekoper said.

Montero said the administrative reorganizationprocess has a purpose similar to that of the hiringfreeze.

The hiring freeze “argues for a very careful lookat any new positions to make sure that anybodynew ... (fills) a position consistent with the direc-tion of the reorganization,” she said.

Huidekoper said the administrative reorganiza-tion is also consistent with other ongoing process-es at the University, including the recent restruc-turing of the Faculty Executive Committee, whichconcluded last semester with major organization-al changes to the faculty governance structure.

“There are a lot of hardworking, dedicated,skilled people (at the University) who want tomake sure their energy is used for importantthings,” she said.

Huidekoper said any administrator can volun-teer to be interviewed, in addition to certain vitaladministrators the committee already plans tocontact. All University personnel received a memoasking for their input in the process, she said.

She said the names of the steering committee’smembers and the administrators they interviewwill remain confidential until after the committeehas made recommendations to the senior admin-istration to encourage openness about theUniversity’s possible shortcomings.

The Public Art Committee of Brown helps bring work likeIsamu Noguchi’s “To Tallness” to campus.

BY STEFAN TALMANFar stranger than the recent appearance of a large stoneobelisk on the Main Green was the silence that followed.No fanfare, no ribbon cutting, no balloons appeared toannounce and explain the sculpture. It simply arrived onemorning, sitting on a bed of rocks.

During the fall semester, two sculptures had alreadymaterialized, slightly more off the beaten path. One, a col-orful ode to pop art, arrived in the lobby of List Art Center,eventually migrating to the lobby of the Watson Institutefor International Studies. The other, a large, black, box-likecross, appeared on a bed of rocks outside List, this timeeventually accompanied by similarly-sized wooden sculp-tures echoing a similar theme in the building’s lobby.

Where are these works of art coming from? The PublicArt Committee of Brown inaugurated its Sculpture onCampus Program last semester, working to facilitate thelong-term loans of works by well-known artists. The com-mittee is composed of President Ruth Simmons,Chancellor Emeritus and Committee Chairman ArtemisJoukowsky ’55, Chair of the Department of Visual ArtRichard Fishman, Bell Gallery Curator Jo-Ann Conklin andUniversity Curator Robert Emlen.

The most recent work brought to campus by the PAC, alarge stone obelisk on the Main Green, is Isamu Noguchi’s“To Tallness” (1981), lent to the University for the next threeyears by the Isamu Noguchi Foundation. Noguchi (1904-1988) was born in Los Angeles and spent most of his child-hood in Japan. Though formally trained in New York, hewas also greatly influenced by the work of ConstantinBrancusi, a pioneer of abstraction, with whom he studiedin Paris in the late 1920s.

Throughout the 1930s, Noguchi traveled extensivelythrough China and Japan learning about calligraphy, gar-den and ceramic design. Combining this influence with theavant-garde styles of his training, Noguchi often crossedboundaries, mixing art and architecture, creating publicspaces — like plazas and gardens — across the world.Noguchi also worked in stone and wood from his studio inJapan — the body of work from which “To Tallness”emerged.

Installed in front of List, British artist David Nash’s “BoxCross” (2002), a charred oak sculpture, rests upon a bed ofstones. Born in 1945 and currently working in North Wales,Nash uses trunks from fallen trees that he carves and chars

BY CARLA BLUMENKRANZ Like dorm bathrooms and cramped quarters, suscepti-bility to the Norwalk virus plaguing campus this week isa nearly inevitable part of communal living, physicianssay.

This winter, the Northeast has seen a surge in inci-dences of the virus, which causes 24 to 48 hours of nau-sea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, said Dr.Herbert Rakatansky, clinical professor of medicine.

The worst hit have been dense residential communi-ties, such as nursing homes and universities, he said. Anursing home Rakatansky visited yesterday has postedsigns warning visitors of an outbreak of the virus.

Once multiple incidents occur, there is little a commu-nity can do to prevent the virus from spreading, he said.Rather, because the virus is spread by small amounts offecal matter, it is the responsibility of individuals to bevigilant about washing their hands, agreed Rakatanskyand Dr. Edward Wheeler, director of Health Services.

Nevertheless, some Harvard University dining hallshave taken precautions against the Norwalk virus,including changing utensils every half-hour to preventcontamination, the Harvard Crimson reported on Friday.

University Food Services representatives were unavail-able for comment, but Rakatansky was unsure about theeffectiveness of constantly replacing utensils. Most peo-ple are only contagious during the period that they are ill,he said, and the most effective means of prevention aregood hygiene and common sense.

There is no treatment for the Norwalk virus, but bothWheeler and Rakatansky emphasized the importance ofremaining hydrated.

And after 48 hours, “if you haven’t gotten better, youshould see someone to make sure that it isn’t somethingelse,” Rakatansky said.

The Mason Building at 169 Weybosset St. will house RISD’s new Design and Business Entrepreneurship Center.

New RISD building will help design-based businessesBY ADAM STELLARusted blue scaffolding and orange plastic mesh surroundthe doorway to the Mason Building at 169 Weybosset St. Theplywood-boarded windows beg for graffitists’ decoration,and at first glance the building appears abandoned.

But in reality, its interior is brimming with creativity andbusiness activity.

The RISD-owned building, one of the school’s mostrecent acquisitions, houses the Center for IntegrativeTechnologies and is the home of the new Design andBusiness Entrepreneurship Center, according to MattMontgomery, a senior press officer at RISD.

The DBEC is a design-based business incubator run byRISD and Bryant College’s Center for Design and Business.The incubator searches for client companies in need of

design and business advising and nurtures them intomature, viable organizations.

The DBEC “capitalizes on the fact that (Rhode Island is) acenter for design,” Montgomery said.

RISD’s aesthetic influence extends throughout theMason Building’s interior. The Sol Koffler Gallery, the largestfine arts gallery downtown, is adjacent to the lobby. Thewalls are painted vibrant shades of green, and sunlightstreams through giant windows onto recently refinishedhardwood floors.

The Mason Building was constructed in the late 19thcentury and formerly housed a Ross-Simons departmentstore. RISD acquired the building in September of last year

Antiwar gathering draws crowdMore than 1,000 people gathered Sunday in a down-town Providence church to show opposition to war inIraq.

The gathering at Beneficent Congregational Churchon Weybosset Street drew more than two dozen organi-zations, ranging from religious to labor groups.

David Segal, 1st Ward City Council representative,spoke at the afternoon gathering and is co-sponsoringan antiwar resolution that the Providence City Councilwill vote on during Thursday night’s meeting.

There was a “large Brown population” in attendance atSunday’s gathering, as well as many minority groups,said Riana Wood ’03, a Green Party member.

Wood said she was extremely pleased with the event,and she was particularly impressed with the “focus onaction.

“Not only was there talk of … the Rhode Island peacemovement, there was also talk of the antiwar resolution”and other events, Wood said.

Organizers passed around blank postcards andencouraged those in attendance to use them to write totheir congressmen and urge them to oppose war withIraq. Many people chose to write to U.S. Rep. PatrickKennedy, D-R.I., who has voted in favor of military actionseveral times, Wood said.

Petitions supporting the antiwar resolution were alsopassed around, and they will be presented at the CityCouncil meeting on Thursday, Wood said.

The entire event took only an hour and a half, Woodsaid, but “they packed a lot in,” including musical per-formances and speakers from religious, labor, studentand civic groups.

Now, Segal and the Green Party are turning theirattention to Thursday’s effort, Wood said. Seven councilmembers have voiced support for the antiwar resolu-tion, and, to get it passed, the sponsors need just onemore vote in favor, she said.

and began renovations, includinga facelift for the facade that shouldbe completed this spring,Montgomery said. The neighbor-ing Fletcher Building has beenRISD-owned for four years.

Since 1997, the Center forDesign and Business has run con-ferences and workshops that stressthe synergy of design and business.The Mason Building proved aninvaluable acquisition for RISD,which was eager to expand, andpresented a perfect opportunity tolaunch the intensive businessincubator downtown. RISDteamed with Bryant College in1997 to form the DBEC, whichopened to its first client last month.

The first company to move intothe incubator was Design OneConsortium, an interior architec-ture consulting firm formed in2001 by RISD alumna LynnePhipps. Phipps attended last year’sannual Success by Design confer-ence, which is run by the Center forDesign and Business. When sheheard about the DBEC, she decid-ed the incubator could help herbusiness grow, she said.

Phipps said she hopes the DBECwill bring her business more cor-porate clients.

“What (DBEC) offers that mostattracted me to it was the opportu-nity to network in the design fieldand the business community ofProvidence,” she said. “I see it as aninvestment in the company.”

Working in a RISD building is agreat advantage because it offersaccess to RISD graduate studentsand RISD workspace, Phipps said.

Two other client businesses are

moving into the DBEC offices thisweek. One is an Internet servicescompany called Sprintout, whichhas been in business for 75 yearsand is currently transitioning froma printmaker to an Internet com-pany, Montgomery said. The othercompany is a newspaper designand editorial consulting firm calledCreative Circle Media Consulting.The firm does much of its businessnationally and is trying to establishits presence in New England,Montgomery said.

The three companies wereselected in part because their busi-ness size and goals were compati-ble with the services offered andalso because of “philosophical rea-sons” and the desire to be part of acreative community, Montgomerysaid.

Clients face a rigorous applica-tion process that matches compa-ny needs with the goals and capa-bilities of the program, said CherylFaria, the director of the Center forDesign and Business. Each compa-ny had to be a pre-existing busi-ness and submit a business plan tobe considered.

Each business that takes part inthe DBEC program is assigned asmall mentoring team of aboutthree people made up of RISD andBryant faculty and experts in vari-ous business fields.

Faria and her associates selectthe mentoring group based on theclient’s needs, she said. The groupmeets formally with the clientevery two months and makes sug-gestions about business decisions,Faria said.

Each DBEC client pays a portionof the program fees for the incuba-tor, which total $1,900 to $2,300 amonth. The remainder of the costis paid for by grants from RISD and

state training programs. DesignOne Consortium pays about $725per month, Phipps said.

RISD helps subsidize the pro-gram because RISD PresidentRoger Mandle wanted “a way tocontribute to the economic devel-opment of the city,” Faria said.

The DBEC’s clients sign a year-long contract for its services, butthey are expected to move else-where after a year or two,Montgomery said. The constantflux caused by companies movingin and out of the DBEC’s officespace makes recruitment animportant, ongoing initiative. TheDBEC holds two information ses-sions a month for prospectiveclients, Faria said.

The DBEC differs from most

incubators in that it is adminis-tered by an academic institutionand is not funded by state or localagencies, although Faria namedthe city’s Economic Policy Council,Economic DevelopmentCorporation and the GreaterProvidence Chamber ofCommerce as strong partners ofthe DBEC.

The DBEC briefed the GreaterProvidence Chamber ofCommerce on the DBEC’s plans,and the Chamber is excited aboutthe prospect of a business incuba-tor downtown, said JanetRaymond, senior vice president foreconomic development at theChamber.

“It certainly has tremendouseconomic spin off for Providence

and the state,” Raymond said. RISD is equally pleased with the

progress it has made thus far onthe DBEC, and hopes to spur fur-ther economic activity downtown.

“We just put three businesses indowntown Providence,”Montgomery said. The DBEC hasoffice space for nine small compa-nies, and is currently researchingcandidates for the remaining sixoffices.

“If we can do what we’ve beendoing for the last five years we cangenerate economic progress forthe region,” Montgomery said.

BY JONATHAN ELLISThe Undergraduate Council of Students set thestage for several key discussions and votes in thecoming weeks at its Monday night meeting.

President Ruth Simmons will speak with theCouncil next week concerning the Office of CampusLife and Student Services, UCS President Allen Feliz’03 announced.

Vice President for Campus Life and StudentServices Janina Montero will leave the Universitythis summer to become vice chancellor for studentaffairs at the University of California at Los Angeles.

“With so many structural changes going on in theUniversity, this gives us a new opportunity to look atthis particular department and figure out ways toimprove it, so (Simmons is) interested in hearingabout what we think about campus life and studentservices,” Feliz said.

Montero was present at the meeting but did notcomment.

The UCS Executive Board will meet with theUndergraduate Finance Board and Dean forCampus Life Margaret Jablonski soon to discusslong-term funding for campus events, Feliz said.

Feliz said the Council will publicize elections slat-ed for Feb. 17 to fill two vacancies on faculty adviso-ry committees: the Residential Council and theFaculty Advisory Committee on Computing. UCS’sown internal elections have also been postponeduntil Feb. 17.

The Academic and Administrative AffairsCommittee will present a statement on the pro-posed addition of pluses and minuses to Brown’sgrading system next week, said Kevin Bennett ’03,the committee chair.

Admission and Student Services CommitteeChair Rahim Kurji ’05 said the committee will sug-gest that UCS chip in an additional $200 to helpHealth Services continue to offer students access toMyStudentBody.com, an alcohol awareness site.

Campus Life Committee Chair Justin Sanders ’04sought manpower to run this year’s edition of theHelping UnderGraduates Socialize program. HUGSis a computer matching service for Valentine’s Daythat offers questionnaire respondents a list of the 10people on campus most compatible with them, heexplained.

UCS will cosponsor a March 14 benefit concertfor Safewalk in the Underground, Sanders added.

BY ZOE RIPPLEA rapidly expanding Summer Studies program hasbecome an important component of President RuthSimmons’ Plan for Academic Enrichment.

Three years ago the University made less than $100,000from the Office of Summer Studies after all operatingexpenses were paid, said Karen Sibley ’81, associate deanfor student outreach and summer studies. This summerthe program is expected to earn $500,000 in profits, Sibleysaid.

Though the program does provide the University withsupplemental income, “the quality of the program comesfirst, then generating revenue,” Sibley said.

Brown created the Summer Studies program becausethe University had not historically utilized the campus toits fullest extent during the summer, said Richard Gould,professor of anthropology and member of the committeethat created the program.

The program now offers classes to pre-college, under-graduate and graduate students from the U.S. andabroad.

The program has not been running at its full capacity,but in years to come, the office plans to enroll more stu-dents and offer more courses, Sibley said. The program isespecially in need of more courses in the sciences, shesaid.

“We have plenty of room to expand,” she added.Brown will offer two study-abroad programs for the

first time this summer. One will be in taught in Rome atthe Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies focusingon Old World art and architecture.

The other is a study on anthropology in Australia thatwill be taught primarily at the University of New SouthWales in Sydney.

Summer Studies has also served as a laboratory wherenew classes are tested before being added to the Browncurriculum, said Catherine Dube, an assistant professorof community health who will teach a course for the pro-gram this summer.

All-Campus Community Fundhelps student groups seeking cash

UCS outlines plans forseveral key initiativesfor coming semester

BY LISA MANDLEWho said there’s no such thing as a free lunch? For stu-dents and student groups looking to host a special event orattend a conference, the All-Campus Community Fundand the Leadership Development Fund can be valuablesources of support.

Vice President for Campus Life and Student ServicesJanina Montero created the funds last year with a grantfrom President Ruth Simmons.

This year Campus Life received $18,000 for the All-Campus Community Fund and $7,000 for the LeadershipDevelopment Fund, said Katherine Wolford RUE ’06, proj-ect director for the Office of Campus Life and StudentServices. The size of the funds is determined on an annualbasis and may not be the same in the future, Wolford said.

The All-Campus Community Fund is intended to buildcommunity by supporting both academic and social all-campus events, Montero said. A portion of the moneyfrom last year’s fund went toward Mental HealthAwareness Day.

Grants from the Leadership Development Fund havebeen used for conferences, seminars and retreats, Wolfordsaid.

Applications for awards are reviewed by two commit-tees of students and administrators — one for each fund.

Last semester the All-Campus Community Fund review

committee received six or seven applications andapproved several, said committee member DeepaKumaraih ’03.

The strict requirements of the All-Campus CommunityFund — events must be valuable for the entire campusand have no other source of funding — limit the numberof grants given, Kumaraih said. But “we’d love to get moreapplications,” she said.

The Organization of Women Leaders received a grantfrom the Leadership Development Fund to use towardspeakers and workshops at a conference the group is hold-ing at Brown on Feb. 22.

“The opportunity to get funding from Brown is prettylimited, so the Leadership Development Fund is great tohave,” said Kim Boortz ’05, co-president of OWL.

Rodrick Echols ’03, a member of Brown Gospel Voices ofPraise, used a grant from the Leadership DevelopmentFund to travel to a gospel conference in Atlanta lastDecember.

Echols said the availability of the funds is temporaryand the Undergraduate Council of Students and theUndergraduate Financial Board need to find a way to pro-vide a permanent mechanism to finance such opportuni-ties.

see FUND, page 6


Without the two funds, “theevents would not be happening,”Montero said.

“The funds encourage student

organizations to work togetherand, as a result, we are buildingmore community and sharingresources,” Wolford said.

NBAThis is perhaps the hardestleague in which to pick the bestrivalry. There was the traditionalCeltics vs. Lakers rivalry that wasmade into a fantastic video gamefor the good old Genesis. Sincethese teams aren’t even in thesame conference and only play acouple times a year, it’s very diffi-cult to put this as the best rivalry.The best rivalry of today’s game isbetween Sacramento and LosAngeles. This one involves a largeamount of trash talking on bothsides and many great battlesbetween the two teams.

The best rivalry of all time,however, is the Chicago Bulls vs.the New York Knicks. This hasbeen the case for a while and wasgreatly intensified in the 1980sand 1990s when it was essentiallyMichael Jordan vs. Patrick Ewing.The rivalry has waned in recentyears, as the Bulls have become

one of the worst teams in theleague with the Knicks on thecusp of such a distinction. Still, agreat rivalry remains, and it willcontinue to endure as the twoteams begin to improve in theyears to come.

MLBIt’s obvious to anyone who fol-lows the sport that these two his-toric franchises have been bat-tling it out for many years. Ofcourse, I’m talking about theTampa Bay Devil Rays and theFlorida Marlins — two teamswith a combined payroll lessthan the cost of the pasta pot,which is a great value, let me tellyou.

In actuality, the best rivalry inbaseball and probably in all ofsports is the Yankees and the RedSox. Ever since 1918 when theRed Sox traded a man namedBabe Ruth to the Yankees forwhat amounts to $20 in neck-laces, this rivalry has been amainstay in all of sports.“Yankees Suck” chants abound at

Fenway in any given game. The Yankees, who have defi-

nitely bested the Red Sox overallin this rivalry, are not quite as vit-riolic, but still hold a great deal ofanimosity towards the team fromBoston. This rivalry is the bestbecause of its intensity andlongevity.

The Yankees and Red Soxalways seem to be battling it outfor the American League pen-nant and both teams haveremained remarkably good overthe past 80 years, which onlyintensifies the rivalry.

The best traditional collegebasketball rivalry that will be onthis week is UNC vs. Duke, whichhas become very one-sided inrecent years. Still the passionremains in almost of these rival-ries, so tune in and watch bothfans and players go crazy andtake notes for the Brown basket-ball games this weekend.

Jeff Saltman ’03 hails from out-side Washington, D.C. He is a his-tory and economics concentrator.

Hofstra’s Chris Stretkowicz. The Bears only other win came

in the heavyweight division as LeeBeane ’06 defeated Mike Lodato7-0.

Later that same day, thewrestling squad tied the EastStroudsburg University Warriors15-15, but lost the match due tonear-fall criteria. This was thesecond match of the day for theBears, who are now 6-7 overall.

Four Bears picked up their sec-

ond wins of the day: Magnani 6-2at 125, Beane 3-1 at heavyweight,Ciarcia 3-1 at 184 and Frease 6-5at 141.

Also recording a win for theBears was Dan Appello ’06, 5-4, at133. Wrestling for Brown but com-ing away with losses were ShawnCully ’05 at 149, and Savino at151, as well as Sean Jenkins ’04 at165 and Santee at 174.

Bruno will continue action thisweekend as they open the IvyLeague competition at Princetonon Saturday and at Pennsylvaniaon Sunday.

not as easy to score at this level.Guys are stronger and there are alot of good goalies out there. Itcomes down to executing, and wehaven’t finished on our chances.We need to.”

This isn’t the first offensiveslump of the season, though, asBruno scored two goals in fourgames earlier in the year.

“We can’t let it frustrate us,”

Haggett said. “We need to createchances and make it happen. Ifwe keep fighting through sticksand get that second effort, then itwill happen.”

but despite pulling the goalie inthe final seconds of the period,Bruno was unable to tie it up.

Both teams remained score-less in the third, though theBears again pulled their goalie inthe final seconds of the period.The Bears dominated theHuskies in the third, outshoot-ing them 13-2, and overall theBears had 38 shots compared tothe Huskies’ 16. But the Bearstook three penalties while theHuskies received none.

Brown has key games in theweeks ahead wherein the Bearswill have to play their best hock-ey in order to be a contender inthe ECAC.

They also have to juggle theirlineup.

“We don’t have Cassie Turner’03. She went to play with TeamCanada over in China. So we’re

figuring out how to come upwith a game plan to fill that holeand continue to just stick to thebasics of hard work and focusingon consistency for three peri-ods,” Murphy said.

Brown faces conference rivalsVermont and Dartmouth thisweekend. The team needs to winthese games to receive a goodseed in the ECAC playoffs.

Brown faces Vermont at homeon Friday. In a November roadgame, the Bears beat theCatamounts 3-0. On Saturday atMeehan, Brown faces fellow IvyLeaguer Dartmouth, who dishedout a 3-1 loss to the Bears attheir last meeting.

“I think the Harvard break

definitely hurts us because it ishard to maintain that true gamepace,” Murphy said. “Next yearwe’re trying to schedule more‘real’ games, if you will. We hadthe alumni game, but that ishard to get up for. I think thekids know that for the rest of theseason they can still win theECAC championship. All theyhave to do is basically focus onthe ECAC championship, andthat starts with the Dartmouthgame and the UVM game thisweekend.”

Bombers may be sent to Pacific tosend message to N. Korea WASHINGTON (L.A. Times) — The Pentagon has alertedbomber crews that they could be sent to the Pacific as amessage to North Korea that the United States remainsprepared for military action in the region, even as it focus-es on a possible war with Iraq.

Pentagon officials stressed that no decision on anydeployment has been reached, but they noted thatDefense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was considering arange of options that would bolster the U.S. presence inthe Pacific.

The aim, said one official, would be “to turn up the knoba touch on the burner, to make sure it’s visible, but notaggressive or provocative.”

The steps reflect rising tensions between the UnitedStates and North Korea over Pyongyang’s apparent effortsto restart its nuclear weapons program.

U.S. satellite photos taken last week showed fresh activ-ity around a key nuclear storage facility. U.S. intelligenceofficials said the photos showed trucks moving near thestorage site, prompting fears that North Korea was movingspent fuel rods that could yield plutonium needed forbombs.

The United States already has 37,000 troops stationedin South Korea, and an array of additional sea and landforces throughout the Far East.

But the plans under consideration at the Pentagonwould place additional B-1 and B-52 bombers on theisland of Guam, nearly 2,000 miles southeast of NorthKorea.

The Pentagon said it had put some military personnelon notice that they could be deployed to the Pacific. Oneofficial called it a “pack-your-bags” warning.

(Washington Post) — Eighty seconds after Columbia blastedoff Jan. 16, NASA engineers saw a puff on the underside ofthe left wing and immediately began investigatingwhether an errant piece of foam had seriously damagedthe shuttle.

Over the next two weeks, engineers pored over filmclips of the launch and used modeling techniques toguess at the extent and location of the damage, NASA offi-cials said. One important factor stood out as they weighedwhether the problem was serious.

It had happened before. Columbia’s first mission, in April 1981, had almost

exactly the same problem. Shortly after launch, about 13to 15 tiles were thought to be dislodged and engineers hadto decide whether that would pose a risk to the spacecraftduring the fiery re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.

In what was to be Columbia’s last mission, engineersreached the same conclusion that they had during thefirst and others: Although there was a “potential for a largedamage area to the tile,” according to a NASA internalflight report released Monday, the spacecraft was not atserious risk.

As a result, ground controllers apparently did not con-sider the radical measures that might have saved theastronauts’ lives — aborting the mission soon after liftoffor bringing the shuttle in at a re-entry angle that couldhave allowed the crew to parachute to safety.

After the shuttle disintegrated while returning to Earthon Saturday and the damaged tiles emerged as one of theprime candidates for the cause, NASA engineers beganexamining their calculations and wondering whetherthey had made a catastrophic mistake. Investigators havefocused on the tiles but have not ruled out other possiblecauses of the disaster.

While it is easy to conclude the engineers were rightabout the first mission and wrong about the last, whathappened this time may be more complicated: Both deci-sions involved judgment and chance, and those factorscan produce unpredictable outcomes when a 178,000-pound spacecraft hurtles through the upper atmosphereat 12,500 miles per hour.

“This is not the first time that we have had debris gen-erated from the external tank that has struck the under-side of the wing,” said Ron Dittemore, NASA’s space shut-tle program manager. The thinking was, “this has hap-pened before, yes, it can impact the tile; yes, it could takesome of the coating off; yes, it can even gouge out some ofthe tile. But it has never represented anything more thanthat.”

Film clips taken during liftoff indicated a puff belowthe left wing — the result of what was probably a piece ofinsulation foam hitting it. Pictures taken during the blind-ing light of liftoff were imprecise in showing the damage,and engineers were left to guess at what had happened.

The astronauts could not see the damage because itwas on the bottom of the shuttle. The crew did not haveon-board cameras to survey the tiled bottom of theorbiter. NASA had spurned an independent advisorypanel’s recommendation in 1997 that it create such acamera for use with every flight.

A Jan. 17 review of the film taken at liftoff was followedby analyses and a meeting of engineers on Jan. 20,Dittemore said in a press briefing Monday. Teams of engi-neers discussed different aspects of risk — the teams var-ied in size from 30 to as few as one or two when the ques-tions became highly specialized. The engineering analysisconcluded as early as Jan. 22 that the risk was not serious,a decision confirmed by final reviews on Jan. 23 and 24.

Columbia faced similar problemafter launch in first mission


WASHINGTON (L.A. Times) —President Bush asked Americanson Monday to embrace a RonaldReagan-style, $2.2-trillion budgetthat sends the nation’s financesdeep into deficit by slashing taxesand boosting outlays for nationalsecurity.

Bush’s 2004 budget, filling2,859 pages in five volumes,makes plain how rapidly the fis-cal outlook has morphed fromblack to red: Two years ago, theWhite House said its policieswould help produce a $1.5-tril-lion surplus over the five yearsending in 2008. It now expects a$1.1-trillion shortfall over thesame period, not counting thecost of possible war in Iraq.

Bush acknowledged his newbudget would contribute to sev-eral years of deficits, but said theneed to stimulate the economy,expand the war on terrorism andenhance homeland security hastemporarily trumped the virtuesof fiscal restraint.

“A recession and a war we didnot choose have led to the returnof deficits,” Bush said in hisbudget message to Congress. “Wewill not always get to choosewhich battles we fight. It is, how-ever, our duty to fight them.”

Democrats were quick toattack the president’s priorities.Rep. John Spratt, D-S.C., rankingDemocrat on the House BudgetCommittee, called it “the mostfiscally damaging budget in U.S.history.” Members of both partiespredicted it would be revisedsubstantially on its way throughCongress.

If enacted, Bush’s budgetwould allocate most of its newmoney to defense and homelandsecurity. It would finance a fewsignature initiatives in otherareas, including the first pre-scription drug benefit underMedicare and expanded cam-paigns to combat AIDS inAmerica and Africa. But it wouldtighten the purse strings of mostdomestic programs, cutting someand holding others to increasesbelow the rate of inflation.

It also would produce recorddeficits of $304 billion this yearand $307 billion in 2004, andincrease the national debt heldby the public to $5 trillion in 2008from $3.5 trillion today. Two yearsgo, the White House said it couldpay down the debt to $1.4 trillionby 2008.

The National Aeronautics andSpace Administration wouldreceive $469 million in newfunds, a 3 percent increase. Itsbudget request was finalizedbefore Saturday’s Columbia acci-dent; the White House said itcould not predict how that wouldaffect NASA funding.

White House budget directorMitch Daniels said balancing thebudget is not beyond reach ifobjectives change. “We can do it.We’re not that far away,” he said.“But it’s the president’s job to bal-ance priorities.’’

Even the latest cost estimatesmay be understated. Bush’sbudget makes no allowances forthe expense of waging war in Iraqor the cost of rebuilding thatcountry afterward. It also leavesout the cost of military opera-tions in Afghanistan or future taxchanges already endorsed byBush and regarded as inevitableby many Republicans andDemocrats.

The budget faces an uncertain

future on Capitol Hill, despiteRepublican control of both hous-es. Some of the president’s pro-posals, such as making corporatedividends tax-free, have generat-ed little enthusiasm even withinGOP ranks.

Senate Budget CommitteeChairman Don Nickles, R-Okla.,called Bush’s budget “an excellentstarting point,” and expressedhope Congress would hold totaldiscretionary spending increasesto 4 percent as Bush is request-ing. Other Republicans suggestedthat might not be politicallydoable.

Senate Finance CommitteeChairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said the budget “charts astraightforward course for peaceand prosperity for America.” Buthe has expressed reservationsabout Bush’s Medicare proposal,and said his tax cuts could notpass the Senate in their currentform.

Congressional Democratsassailed the president for run-ning up the deficit to historic lev-els, with no concrete plan forbringing the government’s booksback into balance.

“In the face of the worst fiscalreversal in U.S. history and adeclining economy, the adminis-tration’s only response is to pro-pose more of the same failedpolicies,” said Sen. Kent Conrad,D-N.D., ranking Democrat on theSenate Budget Committee.

At the same time, Democratscomplained that Bush was pro-posing to shortchange importantdomestic programs.

“This budget is a ripoff for therich that starves our schools,health care, and even homelandsecurity,” said Sen. EdwardKennedy, D-Mass.

Its centerpiece is a package ofnew tax cuts that the budget doc-uments said would total $1.3 tril-lion over 10 years. That includesmore than $600 billion by elimi-nating the double taxation of div-idends and accelerating theeffective date of previouslyapproved tax cuts. Much of therest would result from makingpermanent Bush’s first big tax-cutinitiative — a $1.35-trillion pack-age that Bush pushed throughCongress in 2001 but which isscheduled to expire in 2010.

Other elements of the newpackage of cuts would expandthe child-care credit, eliminatethe “marriage penalty” that caus-es some two-earner householdsto pay higher taxes than single fil-ers with the same income, letindividuals place up to $15,000 ayear in new tax-shelteredaccounts, and let small business-es take bigger deductions for newequipment.

The White House says 92 mil-lion taxpayers would receive cutsaveraging $1,083 this year if thepackage passes. Critics say thepackage is heavily skewed infavor of the wealthy.

According to one analysis,households in the middle fifth ofthe income spectrum wouldreceive an average $289 tax cutthis year, while the top 1 percentwould receive an average $30,127reduction.

Independent analysts say thecost of the new tax cuts to thetreasury will be even higher thanthe administration forecast onMonday. The liberal Center forBudget and Policy Priorities putsthe total at $2.3 trillion.

(L.A. Times) — Women workingat Wal-Mart, the nation’slargest private employer,earned from 4.5 percent to 5.6percent less than men doingsimilar jobs and with similarexperience levels between1996 and 2001, according to astudy conducted as part of afederal discrimination lawsuit.

The study, based on ananalysis of Wal-Mart payrolldata obtained under the litiga-tion, found that among non-salaried workers, men earnedan average of 37 cents an hourmore for similar work.

The pay gap widens higherup the management ladder,the report said. It found thatmale management traineesmake an average of $23,175 ayear, compared to $22,371 forfemale trainees. At the seniorvice president level, the aver-age man makes $419,435 ayear, the report said, while thefour women in the positionearn an average of $279,772.

Wal-Mart executives,reached late Monday, said theyhad not seen the study byOakland, Calif.-based statisti-cian Richard Drogin and couldnot immediately comment.But the company, whichemploys one million people,maintains it does not discrim-inate on the basis of gender.

Drogin’s report did notcompare Wal-Mart salarieswith other retailers. His study,and an analysis of women inmanagement at Wal-Mart andother retailers, were submittedto Wal-Mart lawyers Monday

by a coalition of six law firmsthat are pursuing the discrimi-nation suit. The reports will beused to bolster an attempt towin class-action status for thecase.

The proposed class — allwomen hired nationwidesince 1999 — could includemore than one million currentand former employees, mak-ing it the largest single job dis-crimination case in U.S. histo-ry.

“Women start out beingpaid less, and the gap justwidens,” said Brad Seligman,executive director of theImpact Fund, an Oakland,Calif.-based nonprofit legalorganization that is coordinat-ing the prosecution of the suitby a coalition of six law firmsacross the United States.

“At every level, men get paidmore than women, and it doesnot appear to be explained byanything objective like senior-ity or anything else that we canidentify,’’ Seligman said. ``Theonly difference is gender.”

While Wal-Mart has boostedthe proportion of women inmanagement, from 1.7 percentin 1975 to 34.5 percent in 1999,it still lags behind industrynorms, according to the man-agement analysis, which wasbased on reports the retailersmade to the U.S. EqualEmployment OpportunityCommission. The analysis wasconducted by Marc Bendick, aWashington economist andpublic policy consultant, forthe plaintiffs.

KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait (WashingtonPost) — Two American schoolscatering to foreigners in Kuwaitannounced Monday that theywere suspending operations forsix weeks, and U.S. families havebegun planning to leave thecountry as tensions rise in thebuildup to a widely expectedwar against neighboring Iraq.

Reflecting the mood, theKuwaiti government in recentdays has sent several thousandextra security forces equippedwith armored personnel carriersinto the streets to increase safe-ty precautions, executing awartime plan that senior offi-cials said eventually will includesuch emergency powers asindefinite detention and presscensorship.

Kuwait, which would serve asa launching pad for any U.S.invasion of Iraq, has an estimat-ed 8,000 U.S. citizens livinghere. The embassy, as well as theone in Saudi Arabia to the south,has authorized the voluntarydeparture of diplomaticdependents and strongly urgedother Americans to considerleaving.

U.S. residents here and inSaudi Arabia said some diplo-matic and expatriate familiesare getting ready to pack andleave. Employees of U.S. compa-nies operating here, reflectingthe official U.S. and Kuwaiti pre-cautions, said they also are con-

sidering urging their foreignworkers to take their familiesout of the country.

As U.S. forces flow toward thePersian Gulf and the Bushadministration warns that timeis running out for PresidentSaddam Hussein’s governmentin Baghdad, many U.S. residentsof Kuwait have expressed con-cern that they could be vulnera-ble, not only to retaliatoryattacks from Iraq but also tohomegrown terrorism byIslamic radicals sympathetic toSaddam or to Osama bin Laden’sal-Qaida network.

Those fears have grown sincethe shooting last month of twoU.S. civilian contractors drivingnear the main U.S. military basein Kuwait. That shooting, whichkilled one man, followed twoattacks here against uniformedmilitary personnel last fall. AndIraq’s deputy prime minister,Tariq Aziz, warned last weekthat Iraq could strike backagainst Kuwait if it aids a U.S.invasion.

“If and when the war starts,whether we like it or not, we’regoing to be a theater of war, thestate of Kuwait. Given that, wehave to be ready, we have to beprepared,” Interior MinisterMohammed Khalid Sabah saidin an interview. “That is why,starting this week, the Kuwaitipeople and foreigners will beseeing different measures.”

The large stone obelisk that graces the Main Green maymean something to the members of the Public ArtCommittee who installed it, but it means little to theoblivious Brown students who walk around it (or, we’veheard, directly into it) several times a day.

While we understand the value of starting theSculpture on Campus Program — to beautify and bringawareness of the visual arts to campus — without prop-er publicizing of the works, they fall into the same cate-gory as other ignored sculptures around the University.

Bringing the work of high-profile artists to campusadds to Brown’s liberal learning community, but thismust be accompanied by information distributed to theBrown community — otherwise students, faculty andstaff are uninvolved in the process.

The University should make more efforts to holdcampus-wide events celebrating the sculptures’ arrivalson campus and, if possible, introduce the artists to thecommunity.

Elevating the profile of these installations is the onlyway to ensure that Brown students understand andappreciate a program that the University finances, andto which administrators like President Ruth Simmonsand Chancellor Emeritus Artemis Joukowsky ’55 com-mit their time through service on the Public ArtCommittee.

While the University has no museum (outside theBell Gallery, and other small-scale spaces) to displayworks that it has acquired, the Sculpture on CampusProgram is a worthwhile effort to accomplish the samegoal — but only if we are informed of its existence.

If the University’s general population doesn’t knowabout these sculptures, what is the purpose of bringingthem to campus in the first place?

Students can takesteps to slow spread ofNorwalk virusTo the Editor:

Health Services confirmed presence of theNorwalk virus on campus in the middle ofDecember during the last week of exams. We hadseveral students with the symptoms, but at thetime it did not appear to be a public health risk, asit was also the last few days of exams. In fact, manystudents had already left campus for the winterbreak. We have noticed an increase in studentswith symptoms over the last several days, especial-ly over this past weekend. We were consideringputting out a general notice if cases continued, soThe Herald’s article (“Norwalk virus hits campus,”Feb. 3) is timely and appreciated.

The symptoms of Norwalk virus include nausea,vomiting, diarrhea and some stomach cramping.Sometimes, people additionally have a low-gradefever, chills, headache, muscle aches and a generalsense of tiredness. The illness often begins sudden-ly, and the infected person may feel very sick. Theillness is usually brief, with symptoms lasting onlyabout one or two days. Severe illness or hospital-ization is uncommon.

No specific treatment is available for theNorwalk virus. To prevent dehydration, drinksmall amounts of clear fluids (water, ginger ale,chicken broth) as tolerated. Persons who areseverely dehydrated might need rehydration (IV)therapy. Infected persons usually recover in two tothree days without serious or long-term healtheffects.

If you are unable to keep fluids down for longerthan several hours or are concerned, please cometo or call Health Services. Definitely come toHealth Services if your symptoms last longer thanthree days or you have bloody diarrhea or a highfever. The nursing staff is available 24/7 for med-ical advice by calling 863-1330.

Students can reduce the risk of contracting thevirus by frequently washing their hands, especiallyafter toilet visits and before eating or preparingfood. Carefully wash fruits and vegetables beforeeating. Thoroughly clean and disinfect contami-nated surfaces immediately after an episode of ill-ness by using a bleach-based household cleaner.Immediately remove and wash clothing or linensthat may be contaminated with virus after anepisode of illness (use hot water and soap).

Ratty self-serve linescontribute to spread ofNorwalk virusTo the Editor:

I would like to urge University Food Services totemporarily suspend self-service dining in all theeateries on campus. If they don’t break the chainof infection for this virus, we are all at much high-er risk of getting sick. It will mean longer lines, butI think it is worth it. Since it is spread primarilythrough fecal-oral transmission, all it takes is onesick person who didn’t wash his hands wellenough, who then serves himself at the Ratty.Then the utensil falls in the serving dish (which italways does). Now the virus is in the whole pan,and everyone who eats from it gets sick.

This is a big problem, since there are already tonsof sick people on campus (“Norwalk virus hits cam-pus,” Feb. 3). UFS needs to do something to helpstop this from spreading more than it already is.

OPINIONSTHE BROWN DAILY HERALD


WE, THE YOUNG, ARE ACCUSED OFmany things. We are lazy and we don’twork. We watch television all day orspend countless hours Instant Messagingeach other. We rebel against authorityfigures and lack proper respect.According to statistics, we arethe least likely group to votein elections. We are attackedas the “apathetic young,” ageneration that just doesn’tcare. I’m willing to accept allof these allegations as true(more or less), and even trace them tosome of our own natural and humanfaults, but this description misses the fullstory.

As we step with uncertainty into thisnew century and new millennium, theadults of our country have committed acrime of an unimaginable magnitude.Yes, we youthful souls are lazy anduncaring, but in a post-Sept. 11, 2001,world, we should be looking to our par-ents or adult mentors for guidance. Toooften these people we love and trust havealready surrendered to the terrorists. Welook to them for guidance, and insteadthey try to poison us with their hate.

The other day I was listening to theradio when the subject of terrorism secu-

rity measures came on. A woman calledin who suggested that we imprison ArabAmericans in internment camps. Shequestioned where their “loyalties lie.”She was also quick to point out thatinternment camps could have humane

conditions and not be akin tothe internment of JapaneseAmericans during World WarII. Perhaps her obviously cur-sory education in Americangovernment left out some keypoints like the Constitution.

Or maybe her parents brought her up tobelieve that imprisoning people becauseof their race is morally acceptable. Herideas, unfortunately, are not the views ofa fringe bigot, but are becoming moreand more mainstream. Racial profilingof Arab Americans and other racist meas-ures (wide-scale deportation, for exam-ple) are being suggested every day bysoccer moms, union-worker dads, andother “average people.”

I refuse to call these bigots Americans. Iam an American, and there are preciousfew of us left. My country, my home, isslowly being overwhelmed by these hatefulracists. Maybe the “real Americans” takethis country and all its gifts for granted. Idon’t. I wasn’t born here. I was adopted byAmericans shortly after I was born and Ihave never looked back. American citizen-ship is my greatest possession, beyond allof the material objects that I own. Thesepaper patriots think that pasting a flag on

their window, chanting in a football stadi-um or pledging allegiance makes themAmerican. How dare they. By pretendingto be Americans, they insult all trueAmericans, this country and the idealsupon which this country was founded.

No one would disagree that America isunique. It’s not unique, though, becauseof its long-standing democratic tradition,peaceful transition of power, wealth ofcitizenry or racial and religious diversity.This country is unique, above all,because America, more than any othercountry, is based not on a leader or a flag,but upon one principle — freedom. Theloyalty we have for America goes far pastour state, our flag and our president. Weare loyal Americans if and only if we areloyal to freedom. Each time we havebetrayed freedom, we have paid atremendous price. Let us not do it again.

The time has come to fight a gloriouswar. The war will be long and hard, and

I’ll tell you truthfully that I don’t know if itwill ever end or if we have any chance ofwinning. It is our responsibility now totake back America, not by force but bythe power that comes from innocenceand from goodness. Stop thinking withyour minds and instead reach out withyour hearts. Cast aside any cynicism youmay possess — it is baggage we cannotafford. Forget the bitterness and theresentment; we must start an insurrec-tion of idealism. Traitors surround us —they are in every city, every town, everyvillage of America. They hold some con-trol over almost all of our country’s polit-ical, economic and social institutions. Ifwe fail, we will not die, but we will wishwe had. If we fail, then we will become ashateful as the false Americans we are try-ing to defeat. If we fail, then we will hate,and our children will hate, and ourgrandchildren will hate as well. If we fail,America will die.

Making the Grade

WILL CHANGING OUR GRADING SYSTEMdo more harm than good? I don’t think so,and I’ll tell you both why — and how — wecan make it better.

The gravest defect in the current systemis the lack of grading options for instruc-tors, both professors and TAs.For those students who elect totake a class for a grade ratherthan S/NC, the graders havefour options: A, B, C, or NC (NoCredit). The C grades are ratherinfrequently assigned, and thisunder usage contributes tograde inflation. This is not sur-prising, because students candrop classes at any time with-out penalty on their externaltranscripts. This omits theirlowest grades from publicrecord. Furthermore, becausethe C is the lowest grade thatshows up on a student’s transcript, profes-sors are reluctant to issue them — they areperceived by many here to be the kiss ofdeath. “I got a C in my engineering class,but I wished I had failed it,” a dejected jun-ior moaned to me recently. In practice theBrown system more closely resembles anA/B/NC system than the A/B/C/NC sys-tem. This is one reason grade inflation hasbeen rampant here in recent years.

The other reason grade inflation is sorampant is because graders have fewoptions to evaluate a student’s perform-ance appropriately. Consider Adam:Adam performed fairly well in ProfessorX’s History class. Going into the final, he

has an 86 in the class. After the final, inwhich the professor can clearly see Adamstudied the material extensively, he feelsAdam has arrived exactly on the border-line: Adam has clearly done better thanmany of his peers who did average work

and did little studying, plac-ing them into the low Brange. On the other hand,Professor X does not thinkAdam has mastered thematerial sufficiently to war-rant an ‘A’ by his standards.Under the current Brown sys-tem, Professor X has twooptions: he can give Adamthe A against his better judg-ment, or he can lump himinto the same category as hislower achieving peers with aterse ‘B’. It is no wondergrades are being inflated,

because the graders have a dilemma: nei-ther grade will accurately convey toprospective graduate schools, futureemployers or students like Adam howthey actually performed.

Furthermore, the current grading sys-tem unconsciously discourages many stu-dents from performing as well as they canand being engaged by the material asmuch as they might otherwise. In our lastexample, Adam had a mid-range B and heunderstood that if he performed wellenough, he could very plausibly pull off anA. This likely motivated him to study just alittle bit harder than he might otherwiseand (hopefully) master the subject morethoroughly. However, consider Adam’sclassmate Sally. Sally is in the mid-to-low Brange, and mathematically knows she can-not get an A, but conversely realizes thatshe will not need to study much at all to

avoid a C and keep her B. Due to the lackof grade motivation, Sally decides to partythe weekend before the exam and notworry about her performance too much.Without intermediate distinctions in thisbroad B range, Sally sees little point indoing extra work for no “reward.”

“Wait a minute, sir,” a critic implores.“While you eruditely point out the flawsof our system, you fail to account for itsmany merits. Students here are far lessgrade conscious here than at other insti-tutions and the result is an increasedaptitude for learning itself. Isn’t that whatan education is really about, anyway?”This is a difficult assessment for me torefute. But if you have been following meso far, you will have noticed that I havenot proposed sweeping changes. In fact,I am not advocating adding Ds, makingNCs appear on external transcripts,modifying S/NC, or requiring any class-es. The S/NC option is a vital part ofBrown’s New Curriculum and I would notadvocate changing it. If the CollegeCurriculum Council wants to reflectaccurately the various ways that individ-uals want to pursue their education intheir own way (which I define to be thehallmark of the New Curriculum), theywill vote to keep the S/NC option andintroduce intermediate grades betweenthe As and Bs and Bs and Cs. Most upper-class students will tell you that mostgraduate schools and employers look atyour grades seriously, and it is only fairthat when the outside world looks at yourrecord, it should reflect your achieve-ments as accurately as possible.

While researching this topic, I discov-ered a number of intriguing remedies tothe grading system debacle. A senioradministrator informed me last week that

the CCC is considering a proposal to addpluses and minuses to the internal tran-script, but not the external transcript. Thissuggestion struck me as a mixed success.On the positive side, it would convey tostudents more accurately how they per-formed in any given class. However, I don’tthink it addresses the root problem of aninaccurate transcript being made avail-able to employers and graduate schools.Nor does it motivate students to do better,because many will continue to abuse thesystem and put forth the minimum workrequired to slide into the next grade brack-et. Another idea I suggested was the intro-duction of non-plus/minus intermediategrades. Perhaps adding an “A/B” or a“B/C” to the existing grade system wouldnormalize grading for students like Adam.This would provide more options forgraders and make their lives easier. Thenebulous qualification of these intermedi-ate grades might be difficult to quantifyinitially, but in the long run I think it wouldbe a vast improvement. One senior admin-istrator shrewdly observed with satisfac-tion, “Your intermediate grades do notcorrelate neatly to G.P.A.” I also heard onestudent suggest marking on your tran-script what the average grade given out ineach class was, so that employers realizewhat the grades really represent.

Having examined the alternatives, Ihave concluded that every grading systemhas its flaws. However, a grade policy thathas such broad ranges of achievementembedded within it grossly distorts a stu-dent’s achievement. Ultimately, that iswhy I believe a grading system with inter-mediate grades — whether plus/minus orA/B and B/C — should be the system ofchoice here at Brown.

Schuyler Von Oeyen ‘05 is curious to knowwhy we still call it “The New Curriculum”when it’s been in place for over thirty years.

BY IAN CROPPIn what seems to be a lingering case ofdéjà vu, the men’s hockey team sufferedits third straight 3-1 loss this Friday. Thepast three games have had nearly identi-cal plots, although Harvard played therole of spoiler in the most recent contest.

After spotting the Crimson a goal in thefirst period, the Bears tied the game at1:12 into the second with a goal by BrentRobinson’ 04. Only 42 seconds later, theBears gave up what would be the game-winning goal. Harvard would add anempty net goal with 37 seconds left togain the split in the season series.

“They could have been beaten,” saidLes Haggett ’05. “We didn’t capitalize and,as in the last three games, you’re notgoing to win scoring one goal.”

Harvard showed a little rust in the firstperiod, coming off a 19-day exam break,but the Crimson were able to gain theirfooting quickly. The Bears were unable toscore on two power-play chances early inthe first, despite several opportunities,and with less than five minutes left in thefirst period, Harvard broke open the scor-ing on a Noah Welch power-play goal.

The second period was a shooting gal-ley, as the two teams combined for 35shots and many scoring opportunities.Brown came out flying early and tied thegame on a rebound goal. On a great indi-vidual effort, Paul Esdale ’03 rushed thepuck end-to-end and fired a shot on net.Brent Robinson ’04, who happened to bepositioned in front of the net, was able tocollect the loose puck and fire it byHarvard goalie Dov Grumet-Morris. Thenext shift the Bears came out just as hard,working the puck low in the Harvard end.Near the end of the shift, Harvard forwardBrendan Bernakevitch gained control andset teammate Tim Pettit up for a two-on-one. Pettit streaked down the wing andrifled a slap shot from the top of the circlethat beat goalkeeper Yann Danis ’04.

Brown had several great chances toscore a few minutes later when twoHarvard defensemen took penalties to

give Brown a 5-3 advantage. The power-play unit showered Grumet-Morris withnine shots but was unable to capitalize.Most of the shots were taken from thepoint with little traffic in front, and Brownwas unable to get many second chances.

Taking a lead into the third period,Harvard showed no signs of falling into adefensive shell.

“They kept coming at us,” said GerryBurke ’05. “They weren’t playing the trapof backing off — they never do.”

Battling back from deficits is nothingnew for the Bears, although Harvard isone of the stingiest teams in college hock-ey once they get the lead. The Crimsonare 11-0 when scoring first and 12-0 whenleading after two periods. Brown played

hard but was unable to get the puckrolling its way and couldn’t slip one byGrumet-Morris. Rhode Island native TomCavanaugh scored an empty-netter in thelast minute to put Harvard ahead 3-1.

In yet another outstanding perform-ance against Harvard, Danis turned asidea season high 49 shots. Harvard’s Grumet-Morris finished with 32 saves.

The previously potent Brown offensehas only produced three goals in the lastthree games. The power play has alsocooled off, converting on only one of thepast seventeen chances.

“Scoring is one thing that can be cycli-cal,” said Head Coach Roger Grillo. “It’s

M O N D AY B E G A N E S P N ’ S M U C H commercialized “Rivalry Week” in collegebasketball in which teams considered longtime rivals compete. These games includeGeorgetown vs. Syracuse, Louisville vs.Cincinnati and, of course, Duke vs. UNC.

The whole idea of a“rivalry week” gotme thinking aboutthe best traditionalrivalries in each ofthe four majorsports. Here is mylist of the best rival-ry in each of themajor sports:

NHLAll right, let me setthe scene. It wasMarch of 2001 and I

was in Montreal for spring break with acouple of friends. It was Saturday night ofthe Final Four and there were two gameson, one of which I absolutely had to see.The only problem was that trying to find aTV that would show the Final Four wasalmost impossible. Finally, we found asports bar that must have had 20 televisionsand got them to turn one of them onto thegame.

Before our request, the televisions wereall showing the Montreal Canadiens facethe Toronto Maple Leafs in Montreal, and itwasn’t because Montreal doesn’t get CBS.I’ve never seen fans that crazy over a mid-to-late season hockey game. It didn’t matterthat Montreal wasn’t particularly good andToronto was perhaps the third-best team inthe conference. These fans were soenthused and said so many French swearwords that I had trouble keeping track. Thisrivalry goes back ages, as both teams areamong the original six in the NHL. You cansay all you want about other rivalries inhockey, but until you experience this onefirst hand, you have no idea.

NFLUnfortunately, this is where my bias isgoing to come in. One could make a casefor many different rivalries such as theGreen Bay Packers and the Chicago Bearsor the New York Jets and the New EnglandPatriots, though I would not classify the lat-ter as a “traditional rivalry.” My vote, how-ever, has to go to the Redskins and theCowboys. This rivalry may not have the tra-dition of the Packers and the Bears, butthere is so much resentment between thesetwo teams that it is hard not to select them.When Steve Spurrier got the job inWashington, one of the first sentences outof his mouth in his genteel Southern drawlwas, “I’m going to give the game ball to Mr.Snyder when we go and whoop thoseCowboys.”

The rivalry began back in the GeorgeAllen vs. Tom Landry days in the early1970’s and has continued to this day. At anyRedskins game, you can hear the fanscheering “Dallas sucks” even if Dallas isn’ton the schedule for another month. Despitethe fact that both teams have been prettyhorrible in recent years, the rivalry enduresand the two games they play each year arestill the most important and most antici-pated by both teams — the sign of any goodrivalry.

BY KATHY BABCOCKWomen’s ice hockey (8-8-4) lost to theUniversity of Connecticut Friday, 3-2.The Huskies controlled for the first peri-od and half, leading the Bears 3-0 mid-way through the second. Bruno rallied toscore two goals in latter stages of the sec-ond half, but the team was unable to postthe tying goal and is now winless in itslast two games.

The game was not a conferencematch-up because UConn is in theHockey East Conference instead of theECAC. With the win, the Huskiesimproved to 9-14-4.

“It was one of those games. The otherteam packs it in, and the puck is bounc-ing all around the crease and just doesn’twant to fall for you. Their goalie played agreat game,” said Head Coach DigitMurphy.

UConn started its offense early withan unassisted goal from Sara Mahoney at1:54 in the first period. The Bearsattacked the Huskies’ goal fervently, withten shots in the first period compared tothe Huskies’ six attempts against Browngoalie Katie Germain ’05, but they left theice trailing UConn 1-0.

“Basically we dominated the game,”Murphy said. “They scored on a couple ofpower play opportunities. We didn’t play

particularly well on the kill, and it burntus. And then we couldn’t come back. Wewere down three to nothing at one point,and I thought it was good that the kidscame back. But unfortunately when youdig yourselves a hole like that you go tothe well and sometimes you come updry.”

In the second period, the Huskiesagain took the initiative with a goal fromKim Berry at 6:09 assisted by MeganMcLeod and Mahoney. Less than threeminutes later the Huskies capitalized ona power play. Jill Vandam scored UConn’sthird goal of the day. Mahoney and AngieWallace picked up assists on the play.Brown was trailing the Huskies 3-0.

At this point, Brown switched goalieswith Pam Dreyer ’03 coming in forGermain.

The Bears picked up momentum,scoring two goals in the remainder of theperiod. Jessica Link ’05 scored the first at12:02, earning her eleventh goal of theseason with Amy McLaughlin ’05 assist-ing. The Bears brought the score to 3-2three minutes later when Keaton Zucker’06 scored her seventh goal of the season.Link and Courtney Johnston ’03 assisted.Brown outshot UConn 17-8 in the period,

The Brown wrestling team lost both itsmatches this weekend — one a 26-16defeat at the hands of Hofstra and theother a tight match lost on a technicality toEast Stroudsburg.

The Bears got off to a good start in theirfirst match on Saturday as Lucas Magnani’06 recorded a fall at the 2:18 mark in thefirst period over Hofstra’s Travis Sickle at125. The Pride then turned around andreturned a fall at 133 in their own favor asGreg Pace ’06 fell to Richard LaForce at the1:40 mark in the first period.

Clint Frease ’03 then went on to defeatLouis Vechin 12-2 in the 141 division, put-ting the Bears up 10-6. Hofstra then accu-mulated its second fall of the day as JonMasa recorded a fall at 2:41 in the first overDavid Saadeh ’06 at 149.

The Bears then lost three straight asMichael Savino ’05, who wrestled at 157,was defeated 11-2, Chris Ayers ’03 lost 3-1at the 165 weight class and Adam Santee’04 was defeated 6-2 at 174.
