Finding a subletter requires early start

College sophomore Andrew Migdail (top), College sophomore Corissa Briglia (upper right) and Wharton junior Lincoln Berger sit in an apartment in Hamilton Court. The apartment was sublet during the summer.

Responsible room renters can be hard to find on campus

Even for students who have secured off-campus housing for next fall, another challenge awaits many of them — finding subletters.

There are several options available for students seeking subletters — people who temporarily rent from a tenant while he or she is away — ranging from classified-ad Web sites to posting flyers around campus.

The real key to finding subletters, however, is simply starting early.

Many students who sign yearlong leases need subletters in the summer to cover rent while they are not on campus.

But finding a subletter often means asking for rent significantly lower than what the landlord charges, since “the only thing that matters to people is price. … We have to go low,” College and Wharton junior Adam Altman said.

The Office of Off-Campus Living — located at 4046 Walnut St. — provides students the option of advertising their rooms on the office’s Web site for 30 days for $5.

Some students — like Altman — post on classifieds site Craigslist.com, which allows students to list, for free, rooms available for subletting. Altman said he also put up flyers around campus.

This way, Altman succeeded

in finding subletters for his apartment in Hamilton Court, located at 37th and Chestnut streets.

Many students turn to their own acquaintances while looking for subletters. By doing this, College junior Sam Rosenbaum found subletters for his shared apartment in Hamilton Court.

“We just worked it out with friends who were going abroad in the spring,” Rosenbaum said.

But Rosenbaum said his subletters left his apartment “a disaster area,” noting that tenants and subletters should lay out ground r ules for apartment care before subletters move in.

“I could imagine that it would be an even more ugly situation if we didn’t know the subletters,” Rosenbaum said.

Altman said he faced even more extensive problems with a subletter whom he had never met.

The subletter, he said, did not pay rent on time and attempted to negotiate how much money he owed because he said he was not satisfied with the room’s amenities. For example, Altman said, he tried to pay less rent because he did not get satisfactory cable reception.

Instead, Altman recommends that students inform their landlords of subletters — that way, the subletter will be held responsible for any problems.

Some leases prohibit subletting; others require a fee.

“If somebody just destroys the place, [landlords] are going to go after the subletters,” he said.

“Otherwise, the responsibility rests on the people who are subletting out.”

The Greeks may have given us philosophy and democracy, but come on, that was so BC. Greece gets with the times with Evil, its first-ever zombie movie. In the uber-gory horror tradition of early Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi, Evil depicts an invasion of the walking undead in Athens, with decapitations and dismemberments a-plenty. Let the blood and tzatziki flow.

Lucky Number Slevin is the Smirnoff Ice of the Philadelphia Film Festival — newcomers, drink up! While the connoisseurs of Estonian silent comedy and Afghani noir may get their kicks elsewhere, Lucky Number Slevin will go down sweet and easy for those of us primarily versed in the Hollywood blockbuster. The film features a slew of familiar actors — Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley — and is billed as a Tarantino-esque thriller set in the criminal New York underworld.

In her convocation speech to the class of 2009, Amy Gutman name-dropped Green Day. Oh where oh where have our punk-rock roots gone? To China, apparently, where young anarchists and rebels can be found performing melodious mayhem in small clubs and basements shows. Beijing Bubbles is a documentary that follows five punk bands throughout the Beijing circuit as they give the finger to an increasingly apathetic and consumerist society, the likes of which spawned the West’s own punk movements in the ’70s.

Low Profile Premieres April 2 at The Bridge, 7:15 p.m.

Certain to strike cadence with the souls of the Wharton crowd, Low Profile is the German story of a disenfranchised college grad who spends his time strolling suicidally along on the autobahn and writing pornographic graffiti on bathroom walls as he suffers through the brimstone world of job-applications and parental pressure. To add a little spice to life, he begins to confess to a series of crimes he does not commit. Billed as dark, perverse and unsettling, Low Profile is sure to be a delightful mind-fuck to the future investment banker in all of us.

Kleinman: ‘Eliminate health disparities’

Nursing called ‘most trustworthy’ field

Addressing Dental grads, speaker touts health care for all

Speaker urges grads to put patient at center of healthcare system

By ROSS AVILA The Summer Pennsylvanian

With Irvine Auditorium packed full of friends and family, the 133 graduates of the University’s School of Dental Medicine recieved their degrees and marked the end of their studies at Penn Monday afternoon.

Among the graduates receiving diplomas at the ceremony was 2nd Lt. Amy Schultz, who was treated for a malignant brain tumor during her second year of dental school. She earned a 4.0 grade point average during her treatment and was presented with her degree by Lt. Gen. John A. Bradley of the United States Air Force.

The ceremony included the conferral of diplomas and several speeches offering advice on how to use a Penn education to improve the standards of dentistry.

“Your years of hard work at Penn Dental Medicine have paid off,” said Dean of Dental Medicine Marjorie Jeffcoat. “But frankly you have more hard work in front of you … that is why we call today commencement and not the end.”

Jeffcoat urged graduates not to rely too heavily on new technology to define their future practices, but rather to strive to provide genuine

The ceremony’s guest speaker was Dushanka Kleinman, the Chief Dental Officer of the United States Public Health Service, who told students that they are prepared after years of study to take on their chosen field.

“The launching of an expedition such as yours does not happen overnight,” Kleinman said. You are

“armed with oral health, oral medicine … ready to address anything that comes your way.”

Kleinman encouraged graduates to do everything they can to provide quality dental service to everyone that they encounter.

“I know that you are ready to participate in the war of eliminating health disparities,” she said.

Thomas Sollecito, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, also ad-

dressed the group before awarding honors and conferring degrees upon the group.

“I know this is a day of mixed emotions,” he said. “Yet this is a time to eagerly anticipate the many opportunities ahead which your Penn education will afford you.”

The ceremony ended with the graduates reciting Penn’s Dental Medicine Professional Pledge, which was lead by Jeffcoat.

GRAD from page 1 Provost Ron Daniels, spoke frankly to graduates about what lies ahead of them.

“You will undoubtedly hear... sayings like 'the hope for this country's future'... And if you are anything like I was, you will spend the next six months in bed watching reruns and feeling like a complete idiot,” Foster said. “But somewhere in the middle of freeform post-graduation survival, the journey of your life has a way of sneaking off the starting line.”

She invoked memories of the September 11th attacks and Hurricane Katrina as ways of showing graduates that their world needs improvement.

“How do you live down that mark, a scar that will haunt America and the fabric of its communities for decades to come?”

Foster asked. “No, this country is not better now than it was four years ago, the world is not better now than it was four years ago, and that will be part of your story.”

Foster called on graduates to claim the world as their own and not be constrained by the actions of leaders past and present.

“How will your experience pave the way for a new voice in Amer-

Lynn Swann after both won uncontested primaries.

On Tuesday, Pennsylvania voters went to the polls to cast their ballots in this year’s primaries. Although many of the top offices, including governor, were not contested races, other races still provided reasons to vote.

Now that both the Democrats and Republicans have settled on their nominees, the stage is set for November ’s general election.

Foster’s speech resonates with ’06 graduates

Parents are usually present at graduation ceremonies, but they do not usually receive degrees of their own.

On Monday, Kira Kuhn received her bachelor’s degree in nursing on the same day that her mother, Ivy, earned her nursing master’s degree.

The mother and daughter were only two of 326 students receiving Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in Nursing during the Nursing school’s 120th commencement in the Kimmel Center’s Verizon Hall.

The ceremony also recognized the school’s first graduates in the new Nurse Anesthesia master’s program, which consisted of 14 students.

Afaf Meleis, the Dean of the School of Nursing, gave the opening remarks, telling graduates to remember that “there are three [traits] that guided you through your education: courage to take risks, passion, and voice.”

Meleis congratulated the

graduates on accepting the challenges associated with pursuing careers in nursing.

“Choosing an education in nursing was not just any risk, it was the best kind of risk: calculated risk, with deep and multilevel rewards,” Meleis said.

It was a risk that paid off for all the graduates sitting in front of her waiting for their names to be called, who can now apply their knowledge to work in the nursing field.

BSN student Kennedy Gachiri, MSN student Shana Saeger and PhD student Deborah Sampson spoke representing their respective degree program.

The graduation address was given by Virginia Trotter Betts, who is Commissioner of the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities for the state of Tennessee and former president of the American Nurses Association.

Betts encouraged graduates to use their educations to promote the health of all people. She instructed them to “put the patient and the person at the center of the healthcare system.”

She also lauded the contributions of nurses to the healthcare industry, calling nursing “absolutely the most trustworthy profession.”

We’ll take care of you.

ica?” Foster asked. “I hope it will take you out these doors, out into the open air. You will breathe it in your lungs and say, 'From now on, this life will be what I stand for, dammit. Move over, this is my story now.’”

The speech was concluded by Foster quoting Eminem: “You better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime.”

An honorary doctor of arts degree was conferred upon Foster.

Other guests also received honorary degrees, including AfricanAmerican studies Chair at Harvard University Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Shirley Ann Jackson, the president of Rensselaur Polytechnic Institute, Lawrence Klein, Judith Klinman and Stephen Wynn.

The ceremony ended with the singing of “The Red and the Blue” and the recession from Franklin Field.

Afterwards, graduates, who initially raised controversy when Foster was first announced as the commencement speaker, reacted to the actress’s speech.

Wharton graduate Kelsey Schwenk said she was “pleasantly surprised” with Foster's speech.

“I loved it. I was surprised how much she connected with us,” Schwenk said, adding that in general she heard a lot of positive things about the speech. “At least all my friends were happy with how things went.”

College graduate Elana Caplan also had positive things to say about Foster's address.

“I thought it was very engaging, more so than the one at the College ceremony,” Caplan said.

“I thought it was humorous and light [and] the people I've spoken to enjoyed it, specifically the rap at the end.”

Overseas study to resume in Israel IU programs will start again in spring 2007

By Jacqueline Faine jfaine@indiana.edu

Following a turbulent year, the Safety and Responsibility Committee of the IU Overseas Study Advisory Council has reinstated study in Israel for the spring term. Several University sponsored or affiliated programs were suspended July 31 due to heightened violence between Israeli and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon.

Kathleen Sideli, associate dean in the Office of Overseas Study, said typically each semester IU sends three to five students to Isreal. Most students who study in Israel go through IU’s co-sponsored program at Hebrew University. However, Sideli said, this is not the first time the plan has been put on hold.

“We suspended the program the first time in 2002, and prior to that time we had 10 students a

semester, sometimes more,” she said. “Between 2002 and 2005 it went down to about 3 to 5 students a semester because they were going independently without university permission.”

Sideli said the overseas department reopened the Israeli programs for one semester last spring before the war took place, but the volume of students was still small.

Students wishing to attend any of the Israeli programs will be required to sign a special waiver specifying the necessary dangers of living in a country under a travel warning. Nevertheless, for those who lived the experience, even during the height of forceful clashes between opposing groups, life did not stop.

Senior Rachel Schonwald studied in Jerusalem during the past spring semester and later chose to continue through August despite the conflict. She said she is excited the program has been reinstated and supports the University in its decision.

The month-long ceasefire seems reasonable enough to allow students to study abroad in Israel

again, she said.

“Yes, there is danger. There is always danger. It is just a different kind of danger than one finds in other places,” Schonwald said. “The chance of a war or conflict breaking out is much higher than it is in Israel which brings with it entirely different consequences. (However) the crime rate in Israel is very low, and I feel much safer in that sense than I do in Bloomington.”

In light of the lifted student study ban, IU is taking the necessary precautions to warn all curious travelers. The overseas office Web site warned students of the risks they take, especially when travel warnings have been issued by the U.S. Department of State.

Sideli said the overseas office maintains regular contact with IU students and officials at the universities where students stay. Both groups keep the overseas study department informed on a frequent basis, she added.

For some students, their time in the politically-charged nation was a humbling experi-

ence, with tragedy hitting close to home.

Sarah Kaplan has reason to call Israel her homeland. The IU senior spent her summer as a counselor for United Synagogue Youth’s Israel pilgrimage program, in which she led a 6 week trip through Eastern Europe and Israel.

Despite the travel warnings, she lived in Jerusalem one semester and in the south the other half. Eager for others to experience living in Israel, Kaplan said the ban is now lifted because of the active effort to restabilize and create calm in the region.

“In the south, life continued as normal. People still walk the streets, go to work and play soccer in the park. Tourists are still out and supporting the Israeli economy and touring the sights.

There were lots of smiles and regular, every day activities,” Kaplan said. “Life goes on, and as a group, we got to soak up and enjoy all of those wonderful, positive moments that Israel was experiencing even in the most challenging of times.”

Phi Mu sorority continues to reinvent itself Greek house has long history of renovations

By Allison Parks alparks@indiana.edu

As several sororities and fraternities on campus continue to grow and evolve, many Greek houses have had to deal with change. The Phi Mu house, a sorority located on the North Jordan extension, is just one house to have recently renovated to accommodate the needs of its members.

Some of the most recent renovations included the installation of a new furnace and an update to the house’s security system, but the basic structure of the house remains. Minor redecorations have freshened up the interior of the dining room and the hallways of the

upper floors. As far as funding for such projects go, Jane Land, president of the Phi Mu House Corporation Board, said, “Money for basic redecoration comes from funds that have been saved, but larger projects require the aid of bank loans.”

Despite the expenses, the cost for sorority members to live in the house has not changed.

“We just installed wireless Internet access over the summer, too. The house is wellequipped as far as technology is concerned, which is nice because it means that it’s not the end of the world if I run out of printer ink or my laptop freezes up,” junior Kate FitzGerald said. “Our computer lab has both Macs and PCs also, which is great.”

In terms of when renovations occur, Land said, “Renovations and redecorations are based on

need and follow a cycle from year to year, just like in any of the other Greek houses.”

To avoid disruption to the 92 women that live in the house during the year, most renovations are carefully planned to occur in the summertime when the house is vacant. The schedule for these renovations is rather tight.

“Usually, any necessary work begins the day after move-out, ending about a week before the new semester begins,” Land said.

Phi Mu has enjoyed a long history at IU, with the original installation of the sorority Feb. 7, 1920. The group had 19 members, according to “The History of Phi Mu.” A house for 40 was built in 1926 where the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center stands today, but chapter operations ceased in 1964.

Oct. 3, 1980 marked the re-

turn of Phi Mu to campus with the initiation of 76 members who would, for the time being, live on the seventh floor of the Poplars Building located at Seventh and Washington Streets.

It was not until 1988 that Phi Mu had an actual home to call their own, when ground was broken for the $1.2 million house. Funds to build came mainly from alumni, parents and sorority members, according to an October 1988 IDS article. The first sorority members moved into the house in 1990.

“I love living with my sisters. There is always someone to talk to or study with, and some of my best friends live here with me,” FitzGerald said.

“But the fact that the house itself is so pretty and well-furnished is also a plus. Our housing corporation definitely takes care of us.”

Putin says he won’t run for 3rd term, promises justice for slain

Man alleges sexual abuse by same priest who fondled Foley as a boy

By Henry Meyer

The Associated Press

The Associated Press

MIAMI – Another former altar boy says he was sexually abused in the 1970s by the same retired Catholic priest who acknowledged fondling former Rep. Mark Foley when Foley was a teenager, the man’s attorney said Wednesday.

The new allegations against the Rev. Anthony Mercieca were made by a man who lived in North Miami and was an altar boy at St. James Catholic Church, where Mercieca worked, attorney Jeffrey Herman said.

Herman said he planned to file a lawsuit Wednesday against the Archdiocese of Miami. His client, now 40 and identified in the lawsuit only as John Doe No. 26, says Mercieca abused him when he was about 12 years old. “He had been thinking about it before Foley came forward, and then when Foley came out and the church encouraged other victims to come forward, he decided to come forward,�

Herman said.

The man said “all of my nightmares came back� when Mercieca’s picture appeared on the news last week amid

MOSCOW – President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Wednesday that he would not try to run for another term but said he would retain influence over Russia even after leaving office in 2008.

The immensely popular Putin is constitutionally barred from seeking a third consecutive term, but supporters have called for a referendum on amending the country’s laws to allow him to stay in power. “Despite the fact that I like my job, the constitution doesn’t allow me to run a third time in a row,�

Putin said during a nationally televised question-and-answer session.

The Russian leader also vowed that the killers of a top Central Bank regulator and a well-known investigative journalist would be brought to justice. Putin also hailed the oil-rich country’s robust economic growth rate of about 7 percent.

With his popularity high, Putin sees the session – his fifth since taking office in 2000 – as an opportunity to show he can respond directly to voters’ concerns. He said the trust Russians have in him will allow him to keep influencing the country after his presidency. “Even having lost the powers and the levers of presidential

After the question-and-answer session, Russian news agencies quoted Putin as telling reporters that he was not yet prepared to name his successor but that when he was, he would make his choice known through the media. “The time will come, and I will tell you about it,� the ITAR-TASS the North’s Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland came as South Korea struggles to determine how it should enforce the U.N. sanctions, including whether to help interdict North Korean cargo ships suspected of transporting materials for unconventional weapons.

Foleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims that the priest had molested him. Foley had resigned amid accusations that he sent sexually explicit messages to teenage boys who had worked on Capitol Hill.

Mercieca, 69, now lives on the Maltese island of Gozo in the Mediterranean. No one answered the phone at his home Wednesday. His lawyer, Alfred Grech, did not return calls placed to his cell phone.

Archdiocese of Miami spokeswoman Mary Ross Agosta, asked about the latest allegations, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any of this type of behavior by Father Mercieca was unknown to the archdiocese, and we had absolutely no information to indicate that the father did or would engage in any type of inappropriate or abusive behavior.â&#x20AC;?

The Miami Archdiocese barred Mercieca from all church work as it investigates Foleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim that the clergyman molested him when Foley was an altar boy at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lake Worth in 1967.

Mercieca is now retired and does not serve in any parish, but he regularly celebrates Mass and hears confession in the cathedral on Gozo, according to the Archdiocese of

Malta.

In multiple interviews last week, Mercieca denied having sexual intercourse with Foley, but he did acknowledge being nude with him when Foley was a boy.

Mercieca also denied having sex with any underage children.

Herman said his client and Mercieca took a bicycle ride together one day after altar boy practice and then returned to the church where the abuse occurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fondling, and he performed oral sex on the boy,â&#x20AC;?

Herman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He attempted on another occasion following altar boy practice, but the boy declined to go on this bike ride, and he never went back to the church after that.â&#x20AC;?

Mercieca served as an assistant pastor at the church from 1975 to 1985, according to church records.

Foley resigned from Congress last month after he was confronted with sexually explicit computer communications he had sent to male teenage pages who worked on Capitol Hill. He has since entered a 30-day rehabilitation program for alcoholism, according to his attorneys.

collects tools for troops CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 to a press release from Baron Hill’s spokeswoman Melanie Morris. However, neither politician showed up. The Lutheran Campus Ministries had extended an invitation to Rep. Mike Sodrel, R-9th, as well but got no response.

“I wonder if it’s worse that Baron Hill said he would show up and didn’t or Sodrel not even responding,” Moore said jokingly.

A friend in Iraq inspired Moore to plan this drive, she said.

“I correspond with a soldier in Iraq and found out that they were in need of tools,” Moore said.

She organized the event through the Lutheran Campus Ministries, which is a group of students on campus and attached to St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Bloomington. These students, led by Moore, did everything from setting up in the Assembly Hall parking lot to advertising it around town.

The soldier with whom Moore corresponds is in Mosul right now and is part of the National Guard unit from Indiana and was called to serve after his freshman year at IU. Lutheran Campus Ministries minister Jeff Schacht calls the lack of tools a “safety” issue that should have been solved a long time ago.

nize the fundraiser, which he said gives to an important cause.

“This is not about the war,” Schacht said. “People should always be evaluating why a country is at war when it is at war, but this is an issue of equipping soldiers who aren’t equipped. We can put a Band-Aid on it now and help raise awareness.”

Among the people to show up to the drive was a few Bloomington residents, including IU Dean of Students and Vice President for Student Affairs Richard McKaig.

“I have no sockets in my repertoire, but cash I have,” McKaig said. “I am happy to help out.”

Others, including Dave Pavolka, a retired music teacher living in Bloomington, donated tools.

Pavolka, who is on the board of directors at the Lutheran Campus Ministries church, donated a ratchet set, including electric wire cutters and Allen wrenches.

“My dad and brother were mechanics,” Pavolka said.

“I’m contributing threefourths of these tools that I don’t use anyway.”

The Lutheran Campus Ministries is still accepting monetary donations and tools such as ratchet wrenches, hex head sockets, standard crowfeet sets, cordless drills and bits and standard tap and die sets. For more information, call 333-2474.

First lady to attend Sodrel campaign rally –From Associated Press Reports COLUMBUS, Ind. – First lady Laura Bush plans another trip to Indiana next week to speak at a campaign rally for Republican Rep. Mike Sodrel, R-9th.

It will be the first lady’s second appearance this year on behalf of Sodrel, who is in a tight

Convention Center.

“You shouldn’t leave a 7-yearold home alone at all, let alone with two 80-pound Rottweilers,” he said. “He’s scarred not only the exterior of his body, but emotionally for the rest of his life.”

Police have also asked Child Protective Services to investigate, Bravos said.

Bamba was airlifted to the University of Chicago Hospital trauma unit after Thursday’s attack and was listed in critical condition Saturday at the hos-

pital.

In the attack, the boy suffered numerous deep bite wounds on his leg, thigh and head – some of so serious emergency responders “could see all the way to the bone,” Bravos said.

Police have taken custody of the family’s two dogs. Police were investigating why the boy was left home alone with the dogs while his stepmother went to work at a nearby business, investigators said.

CHENEY: Vice President

“If we just leave, they’re going to come back,” she said. “If we just stay there and hold our ground, I think we’ll win.”

The rally for troops Friday included food, a band and appearances by cheerleaders from the Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Pacers. When Cheney came on stage, he joked that he missed the fun earlier in the day.

“Is it me you came to see, or the Colts and Pacers cheerleaders?” Cheney asked the troops.

“I got here too late.”

There are about 23,000 reservists and Guard members in Indiana, with an estimated 4,300 on active duty at any one time. Not all on active duty are serving overseas.

Since February 2003, 68 Indiana military personnel have died after being sent to the Middle East for the war in Iraq.

Overall, at least 2,786 members of the U.S. military have died in the war.

Jessica Newman said she enjoyed Cheney’s speech and agreed with him about keeping terrorists from U.S. shores.

couple weeks, the homestretch,” Sodrel campaign manager Cam Savage said Friday. “We want to remind everybody how important it is they go vote and get their neighbors out to vote.”

In a sign of the importance national Republicans are placing on the Sodrel-Hill race, White House press secretary Tony Snow is scheduled to speak at a

Sodrel luncheon Oct. 30 in Jeffersonville, Ind. The first lady spoke during a Sodrel fund raiser in June at a Starlight winery that raised about $200,000. In a visit to South Bend last week, she helped raise about $210,000 for Republican Rep. Chris Chocola, who is in a heated race with Democratic challenger Joe Donnelly.

Ames takes Players Championship

Errors hard on softball’s first Big 12 competition

By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Writer PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Stephen Ames went from making fun of Tiger Woods to winning like him.

Ames delivered a major performance Sunday on the treacherous TPC at Sawgrass, blowing away the strongest field in golf with a 5-under 67 to win The Players Championship by six shots and earn an unlikely trip to the Masters.

Ames made only one mistake,

SOFTBALL from page 13 of limiting errors when they take on North Dakota State.

“When you give a team five or six outs they are going to take advantage of that,” Killeen said. “It is really hard to win games when you do that.”

Errors once again characterized Iowa State’s first two Big 12 games against Oklahoma State. The team committed four errors but managed to win 7-3 Saturday, and committed four more in Sunday’s 9-1 loss. In the loss, errors resulted in three of Oklahoma State’s first four runs being unearned.

“It’s always a momentum killer and you lose a little bit of confidence when you start making errors,” Akins said. “Obviously they affected us a little bit and that’s just something we can improve on in the future.”

The Cyclones offense remained subdued by the pitching of both Chelsey Barclay and Kristina Giustozzi of Oklahoma State, and they were unable to rescue the defense as they had the day before.

“When you score seven runs like we did it allows the defense to play more relaxed,” coach Stacy Gemeinhardt said. “Even though we had errors [in Saturday’s game], if you hit the ball it helps out the pitcher, the defense and everybody.”

Oklahoma (14-14) and Iowa State (15-12) both move to 1-1 in the Big 12, and despite ending the weekend on a sour note, the team sees some positives.

“It was really up and down,” Akins said. “The more we learn from this weekend, the less mistakes we will make in the future, and the better we will be for the rest of the Big 12 season.”

a double bogey on the 10th hole when he took two shots to get out of the bunker, and it looked as if he would have to battle his nerves along the scary back nine of the Stadium Course.

Instead, he poured it on with impeccable shots that stretched his lead so much that the tiny island of a 17th green was only another hole on his way to a dominant victory.

“Except for the 10th hole, I played a flawless round,” Ames said. “It felt like a walk in the park.”

TENNIS from page 13 playing again. Loprinzi has won all three of her matches this season.

Freshman Kara Hickey lost a three-set match, one of the longer matches of the day. She faced Cigdem Duru and took the first set in a long battle 7-5.

Hickey struggled to get her first and second serves over in the second set, however, and dropped the set 6-2. The third set was especially tough because Duru and Hickey held their serves and played to a 4-4 tie.

Duru did break Hickey, clinched the match 6-4 and ensured a Texas Tech victory by scoring the fourth point of the day.

Texas Tech beat Iowa State by a final score of 5-2.

Junior Jill Palen also lost a tough match on the No. 1 court.

Palen was keeping up with Tara

Browning through the first set, battling to a 3-3 tie and then leading 6-5. Palen then made some errant shots on Browning’s serve and could not break her, forcing a tiebreak. Browning put Palen away in the tiebreak 7-4, and then cruised in the second set 6-2.

Senior Beth Chermel appeared to have control of the first set of her match, capitalizing on a good first serve and fewer errors to take a 4-2 lead in the first set.

She then made a number of unforced errors, and was unable to regain control for the rest of the match, losing the first set 6-4 and the second set 6-3.

Chermel is still looking for her first win of the season.

Iowa State heads to Kansas next weekend, where in two days it will continue conference play against Kansas State and Kansas.

Final Four, matching LSU’s run, also as an 11th seed, in 1986. The Colonial Athletic Association team is the first true outsider to crash the Final Four since Penn and Indiana State both got there in 1979. The Patriots, whose at-large selection was roundly criticized, celebrated after the final horn by standing on the press row table and waving their shirts to their fans.

Patriots guard Tony Skinn said coach Jim Larranaga fired up his players by telling them that UConn’s players didn’t even know which conference George Mason is in.

“That’s a little bit of disrespect,” Skinn said. “Coach told us the CAA stands for ‘Connecticut Assassin Association.’”

Larranaga led one of the school’s familiar chants, yelling “George!” to the crowd’s “Mason!” as he waited his turn to cut down the net.

Then he climbed the ladder and worked the scissors with a smile, then waved the net high in the air to more cheers before slipping the nylon around his neck.

“I feel so good, through my own sadness, for Jim Larranaga,” UConn coach Jim Calhoun said. “Playing at that level is not easy. I can only imagine the feeling they must have on that campus, in that locker room. ... It’s something they probably never imagined. We’ve imagined it, and we’ve done it. They could never have imagined it.”

George Mason’s Sammy Hernandez (50) and Tony Skinn celebrate their overtime victory against Connecticut during the fourth round of the NCAA basketball tournament Sunday.

All five Mason starters finished in double figures. Jai Lewis had 20, and Lamar Butler and Will Thomas each scored 19. Larranaga’s team kept the same five players in the game from the 10:37 mark of regulation to the very end of overtime.

Butler was chosen as the most outstanding player of the regional, and he and his father were in tears as they hugged at length on the court after the game.

George Mason (27-7), having by far the best season in school

history, had never won an NCAA tournament game until it beat half of last year’s Final Four _ Michigan State and No. 3 seed North Carolina _ back-to-back in the first two rounds. Now it can say it has beaten the last two national champions _ Connecticut and North Carolina.

Rudy Gay scored 20, and Jeff Adrien had a career-high 17 points for Connecticut (30-4), which never could put together a complete game in the tournament.

“I’ve got to sit down and think about that at this time,” Ames said.
