In this Sept. 29, 2013, file photo, members of the No. 4 UConn field hockey team are seen celebrating after scoring a goal against Princeton in an NCAA field hockey game. The Huskies have won their last six games, leading them to win an American Athletic Conference conference title and bringing them through the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament.

By Jack Mitchell Staff Writer The No. 4 UConn field hockey team won a pair of NCAA tournament games this weekend, advancing to the NCAA tournament semifinal after a 2-1 first-round win over No. 11 Boston College on Saturday and a 3-1 second-round win over No. 20 Michigan State on Sunday.

The Huskies (19-4) traveled to Syracuse, N.Y. on Saturday to square off against the Eagles (12-8), a team that handed UConn its first loss of the regular season in overtime at home on Oct. 6.

UConn got on the board first against the Eagles after a 12thminute goal from junior forward Chloe Hunnable, her 21st goal of the season.

Sophomore midfielder

Sophie Bowden was credited with the assist after collecting her own rebound and sending a pass across the net to Hunnable, who was able to tuck in a shot to give the Huskies an early 1-0 lead.

The equalizer from Boston College would not come until the final minutes of regulation.

Wellford founded Running Start, a non-profit that works to encourage young women to run for office, as an expansion of her Women Under Forty Political Action Committee (WUFPAC).

“If you get women in (office) at an early age, they’re going to go really far,” Wellford said.

When asked why they do not run for office, women give an array of responses, but the num-

ber one answer is that they did not feel qualified, according to Wellford.

“Women think it’s a great idea to have women in office,” said Wellford, “just not them.”

The students at the workshop, which was open to men as well, did an activity to find out why they are interested in running for office.

The goal would end up forcing the game into overtime after UConn was unable to regain its lead.

The Huskies were able to secure the overtime win with just over 11 minutes remaining in the extra period. A tripping foul on senior forward Marie Elena Bolles gave UConn a

penalty corner, which was taken by senior forward Anne Jeute.

Jeute, after inserting the ball out to the point, moved over in front of the net and was able to send home a rebound shot after the initial attempt was blocked by Eagles’ goaltender Leah Settipane, giving UConn the 2-1 overtime victory.

Conference allows professors, graduate students to present research Seasonally dressed horses

By Julia Werth Campus Correspondent The neurological functions that create and retrieve memories are not only demonstrated through psychological experimentation, but also through literature, as illustrated at the fourth annual LANGSA conference on Friday, Nov. 15.

Graduate students and professors from the University of Connecticut as well as other national and international universities gathered to share their research passions relating to

memory through varying lenses.

Robert Bucci, a 2nd-year graduate student in the Literature, Culture and Language (LCL) Department, said that the LANGSA conference is always a nice way “to see what the people you sit next to every day study.” Although Bucci had attended the LANGSA conference before and he has presented his research at two other such events, this was his first time presenting at LANGSA itself. In one of the afternoon panels, Bucci discussed Dante’s “Inferno” and how the author

“uses memory of his home to give structure to his work.”

Katherine Andrews, a graduate student studying Canadian post modern literature at the University of Ottawa, was also excited to be at the LANGSA conference where she presented her own research for the first time ever.

“It was a little bit scary but everyone was really supportive,” she said.

A collaborative environment is a characteristic of graduate

By Molly Miller Campus Correspondent Families, students and local horse-lovers of all ages came to Horsebarn Hill on Sunday, Nov. 17 to have their pictures taken with festively dressed horses as part of a fundraiser hosted by UConn’s Equine Club.

People posing for pictures could choose between a dark brown horse named Bucky and a white horse named Fiona. Due to the warm, 50-degree weather, the event was held outdoors in

front of the barn.

Although the horses were already decorated in tiny santa hats and red and green or blue and white garland, there were extra decorations such as poinsettias, snowflake necklaces, hats and bells for those who wanted a more personalized horse.

Mark McPartland, a riding student from Vernon, had his picture taken with a brown horse named Statesmen, whom

Conference offers good feedback, advice The Daily Campus, Page 2

student conferences. “Graduate conferences are great because you get really good feedback without it being too scary,” said Nicole White, a 3rd-year graduate student in the LCL department at UConn.

Feedback is exactly what most of the first-time presenters were looking for.

“I am looking forward to getting feedback on my research interest and getting advice about new avenues to pursue,” said Julia Rende, a graduate student in the English Department at Indiana University.

While the graduate students were hoping for constructive critique of their work, keynote speaker, Suzanne Nalbantian aimed to use her expertise in order to spark the interest of

her audience by offering some foundational scientific basis for what may be discovered and witnessed in literary analysis.

Nalbantian presented several examples of renowned works of literature that illustrated a particular function of memory. For example, Nalbantian discussed how Virginia Woolf demonstrated the process of memory consolidation in her novels by showing “how memory is attached to material objects.” Woolf also accurately demonstrated how associations can trigger the recall of memories when simple visual cues stimulated her characters to recall past events.

“Memory naturally undergoes transformation, memory is intrinsically a creative pro-

has had a lot of tremendous growth in the past few years,” Lagan said. “We need to figure out how to make our generation care about soccer.”

He was also able to hear a vice president from the video website, Funny or Die, at the creative marketing seminar. Lagan said that as a marketing major, learning about creative strategies was very pertinent to his interests.

Lagan thanked UConn’s marketing department for enabling him to attend the conference.

“UConn helped fund the trip,” Lagan said, who was especially grateful for the efforts of marketing professor and department head Robin Coulter. “I wouldn’t have been able to go without her.”

This conference is not the first time Lagan has been recognized for his work in sports business. In 2012, he was named a Rising Star

by Sports Networker, and this year he was one of Sports Launch magazine’s “Thirty Under 30.”

Lagan explained that his drive towards sports business comes from his desire to make a career out of his interest in sports.

“Originally I was a sports fan,

and as I got older I wanted to know: what it the business side behind this?” Lagan said.

Lagan said that he made it his goal to work at ESPN. He was hired by ESPN during his sophomore year as a statistics analyst through connections he made at a career day.

Although Lagan would love to work for ESPN in the long run, he’s not going to go back right away.

“In the short term I’m trying to work in consulting, but I would like to come back to sports eventually,” he said.

Along with his work for ESPN, Lagan is also a co-founder of SportsBusinessU, an online media and networking space for young professionals in the field of sports business.

At UConn, Lagan served as a senator and secretary for the West Hartford branch’s student government and as the vice president of the West Hartford Business Club.

He has also used his own connections to serve as a peer advisor for the UConn Sports Business Association and has set up a New York City career day for students

in the organization.

Marketing professor Bill Ryan, who has known Lagan for three years since having him as a student, said that Lagan has always had a plan and a vision, and lauded him for pursuing unique opportunities.

“Josh is one of those students that recognized the benefits of taking a broader learning approach early on at UConn, and has carved a rather unique path for himself over the last four years,” said Ryan.

This coming weekend, Lagan will be attending the Ivy Sports Symposium in Cambridge, Mass., where he will continue to network while learning about the field of sports business.

Lagan said that networking is the most important thing a college student can do.

“Start networking now while you’re in college and everyone is willing to talk to you,” he said.

“There’s a huge alumni base, whether you want to go to ESPN or Madison Square Garden.

There are so many UConn graduates, you just have to reach out.”

of running a campaign.

“Sometimes the hardest thing to do is wake up and knock on that first door,” said Flexer.

She also talked about instances of sexism in the state legislature.

These hardships have not deterred her passion for politics.

“I’ve been able to do some really cool stuff that helps people,” said Flexer, “You have to go back to that.”

Four women that currently hold positions in office at UConn spoke about their experiences with campaigning.

There are eight campus-wide elections held that students can run for at UConn; these include positions in the Undergraduate Student Government, Residents Hall Association, the Foundation, the Co-op Board, the Graduate Student Senate and the Board of Trustees.

Eliza Conrad, a 1st-semester undergraduate and Buckley Senator for USG, said she spent three days going to each room in her building getting to know as many students as possible as part of her campaign.

Claire Price, the comptroller for USG, said she did not know much going into her position and she was nervous about letting people down.

“I realized I didn’t have to know everything, I could bring my own ideas to the table as well,” she said.

Heather Valle, a student representative on the Co-op Board, started her campaign at a previous Elect Her workshop by getting 50 signatures during the elevator speech activity.

This year’s workshop also included the elevator speech activity.

Wellford described the elevator

speech as the speech given when there are only 30 seconds in an elevator to win a spot on Oprah’s show.

It is a way of condensing the important parts of a message to match the short attention spans of the audience.

Jacqueline Kozin, co-president of the Connecticut chapter of the National Organization for Women, talked about the importance of staying on message during a campaign.

During the activity, the students were asked to disperse into the Student Union, give their elevator speeches to strangers on an issue they chose and obtain signatures.

The person with the most signatures won a gift card to the Co-op.

Maman Cooper won the competition with 39 signatures.

Fisher began this message that resonated through to the end of the workshop, a quote her sister shared with her: “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because her trust is not in the branch, but in her own wings.”

Greenwich student pens emotional tribute to late classmate

GREENWICH (AP) – Alana Galloway did not know Bart Palosz. And she did not see him the day that he took his own life.

But the Convent of the Sacred Heart sophomore’s lack of familiarity with him did not prevent her from penning a heartfelt, powerful response to his death.

“At around 7 a.m. on Aug. 27, a seemingly happy, ordinary boy entered the doors of Greenwich High School in hopes of enjoying the first day of his sophomore year,” she wrote in an editorial that ran last month in the King Street Chronicle, the Sacred Heart Upper School’s online newspaper. “Less than 24 hours later, it was confirmed by police that this ‘happy, ordinary boy’” took his own life with a shotgun.

“After two months of summer, it had only taken one day of school for this boy, Bart Palosz, to commit suicide. One day of bullying had killed him.”

It has not been confirmed that Palosz was bullied on the first day of school this year.

The piece has since gained a larger audience, with its subsequent appearance in the online publication The Stewardship Report. Enthusiastic about her daughter’s work, Galloway’s mother sent the editorial to a number of friends, including one who writes for The Stewardship Report.

“This is a wonderful example of a real-world experience for our students,” said Matilde Larson, an English and journalism teacher at Sacred Heart. “It is every journalist’s goal to have her work picked up by other publications.”

Galloway wrote about Palosz from an uncommon perspective.

She attended Greenwich High as a freshman before transferring to Sacred Heart for the start of the current school year.

“Bart was a sweet boy and a great friend,” she wrote. “I never encountered Bart, many of my friends fondly remember his kindness. As I scrolled down my Facebook newsfeed on the day of the death, and the week after, I was overwhelmed by the number of posts about Bart, how wonderful he had been, and how no one expected it.

“All I saw were compliments, and I could not help but wonder

how many insults he must have endured to reach the desperate point of suicide.”

While she said she was not bullied during her year at the town’s public high school, Galloway recounted in an interview with Greenwich Time Monday her own challenges adapting to Greenwich High’s social landscape. Before then, she had not attended a public school.

“It was overwhelming how large it was and how easy it was to get lost,” she said. “For my first month, maybe two months, I didn’t know where to go. Eventually I fit in and found friends. But I’m now at Sacred Heart, because this is where I feel more comfortable.

“Greenwich High is an excellent school, but it’s very large and difficult to keep track of everyone. It’s definitely more possible for someone to fall through the cracks and for something like this to go unnoticed than somewhere like Sacred Heart.”

Despite not knowing Palosz, Galloway pondered in her piece how she could have reached out to him.

“I wish I could have met Bart and befriended him,” she wrote.

“I wish I had had a chance to help him, but I did not. Just like thousands of others, I was oblivious to what was going on in his world. I was oblivious to the victimization taking place in my own school.

“Bullying truly is a vile thing, and it terrifies me how common it has become in our world.

Perhaps Convent of the Sacred Heart is sheltered from it, but how can we know for sure?”

Sacred Heart junior Anabeth Bostrup literally illustrates that point. She produced an accompanying drawing for Galloway’s editorial, after Larson asked if she would like to participate.

Paula Westcott, Bostrup’s art teacher, also encouraged her involvement in the project.

Bostrup’s drawing shows four teenage girls wearing the skirt and polo-shirt uniforms typical of all-girls schools. Three of them congregate on one side of the tableau, pointing and casting withering glances at the other girl. She stands alone on the other side, wearing a forlorn and uncomfortable expression.

cess in the brain, and in literature the real truth of an author’s neurological processing comes out,” said Nalbantian, after taking her audience through the many different facets of neuroscience that are represented in literature Although Nalbantian clearly has decades of experience on most of the other presenters at the LANGSA conference, she reported that she was quite impressed with the seriousness of the graduate students at the event.

“I have been to many other universities – including Ivy League universities – that did not impress me as much as UConn in terms of serious student involvement,” she said.

UConn student recognized as one of top young sports business professionals

By Molly Miller Campus Correspondent

Plenty of young people dream about working for their favorite sports teams or networks, but Joshua Lagan, an 8th-semester marketing major, is actively working to make that dream a reality.

He recently returned from the largest student-run sports business conference in the country.

Lagan was recognized as one of the top-10 young sports business professionals in the country by the Build Inspire Grow (BIG) initiative, which recognizes exceptional student leaders in the field of sports business at the Michigan Sports Business Conference.

Lagan said that he enjoyed the networking opportunities MSNBC offered.

“It was great getting to just meet a bunch of different leaders throughout the country,” Lagan said.

He attended two seminars specific to his interests, one on U.S. soccer and one on creative marketing.

Teacher killings show profession’s risks The Daily Campus, Page 3

News

(AP) – When a 16-year-old student slammed a metal trash can onto Philip Raimondo’s head, it did more than break open the history teacher’s scalp, knock him out and send him bleeding to the floor.

“It changed my whole world,” Raimondo said about the attack in the school where he taught for 22 years.

Experts say the phenomenon of student-on-teacher violence is too often ignored.

“There’s some reluctance to think that the teaching profession can be unsafe,” said Dr. Dorothy Espelage of the University of Illinois.

The educational psychology professor recently headed a national task force on classroom violence directed at teachers. The group found that little has been done to try to understand or prevent such incidents despite the potential implications on teacher retention and student performance, among other things.

But the October deaths, one day apart, of Nevada middle school math teacher Michael Landsberry, who was shot on a basketball court by a suicidal 12-year-old, and Massachusetts high school math teacher Colleen Ritzer, who authorities said was attacked by a 14-yearold student inside a school bathroom, have brought the issue to the forefront.

About 4 percent of public school teachers reported they

had been attacked physically during the 2007-08 school year, according to the U.S. Department of Education, citing a 2012 school safety report.

Seven percent were threatened with injury by a student.

A 2011 survey found that 80 percent of teachers reported being intimidated, harassed, assaulted or otherwise victimized at least once during the previous year.

Of the 3,000 teachers surveyed, 44 percent reported physical offenses including thrown objects, student attacks and weapons shown, according to the American Psychological Association Task Force on Violence Directed Against Teachers, which conducted the national web-based survey.

The task force recommended creating a national registry to track the nature and frequency of incidents, saying this would help develop plans for prevention and intervention. It also suggested that all educators be required to master classroom management before they are licensed to teach.

Raimondo, who taught in Buffalo, N.Y., was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and thought about suicide after suffering a concussion and other head injuries that required 32 staples and more than 40 stitches.

Unable to return to teaching, the history teacher who coached cross-country, girls’ basketball

and softball remains in therapy and on medication today, nearly 10 years later.

“I trusted kids,” Raimondo said, becoming emotional as he told The Associated Press his story for the first time. “I loved what I did. For 22 years, that was my identity.”

His attacker, one of two girls he had stopped from fighting, pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to up to six months in jail.

The National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union, has reported anecdotal incidents of teachers being struck with a computer keyboard and of being “body slammed.” One had hearing loss and blurred vision from a tossed M-80 explosive, the union said.

NEA President Dennis Van Roekel said that while school campuses remain safe places, more attention and resources should be directed at diagnosing and treating mental health issues and training educators in classroom management and safety.

“The big key is prevention,” Van Roekel said.

In a sign of the times, the National Teachers Hall of Fame has begun raising funds for a granite memorial to fallen educators, to be built in Emporia, Kan. “The reality is, it can happen anywhere,” said Columbia High School Principal John Sawchuk, who in 2004 found himself wrestling a 16-year-old student

for the loaded shotgun the boy used to wound a teacher in his East Greenbush, N.Y. school.

“That was the most terrifying moment of my life, something I will never forget,” Sawchuk said. “I kept thinking, if I let go, he’s going to kill me.”

“You never really get over it.

You try to learn from it,” said Sawchuk, who added security officers, stepped up emergency drills and has stressed heightened vigilance since the shooting.

“We don’t leave a stone unturned anymore,” he said.

HARTFORD (AP) – The results of Connecticut’s recent tax amnesty program are scheduled to be released Monday.

Department of Revenue Services Commissioner Kevin Sullivan will reveal details of the amnesty, which ran from Sept. 16 through Friday, at a news conference at the state Capitol.

Both businesses and individuals were given an opportunity to pay back taxes owed to the state of Connecticut, with a 75 percent reduction in accumulated interest. Under the pro-

gram, DRS agreed to waive all penalties for individuals and businesses that have not filed, have underreported or have existing state tax liabilities, for any period ending on or before Nov. 30, 2012.

Those who didn’t pay in full

by Friday now face a possible 25 percent penalty, criminal prosecution or both.

Connecticut officials hoped to collect more than $35 million in unpaid back taxes.

This marked the fifth tax amnesty program that Connecticut’s tax depart-

ment has launched since 1992.

Sullivan said this year’s version affected more taxpayers and that the threatened 25 percent penalty is new.

DRS has estimated that 80,000 taxpayers owe about $400 million in back state taxes, while another 80,000 have underreported or not filed a return.

Sullivan said his department typically tracks down about $150 million a year in unpaid back taxes. He said some of the debtors are “perpetual scofflaws” who refuse to pay. Others

are taxpayers disputing their tax obligations or have had a difficult time paying their taxes and lost track of how much they owe.

While a large percentage of the unpaid taxes stems from the personal income tax, the amnesty also applied to other taxes including the business use tax, cigarette tax, corporation business tax, gift tax, individual use tax, motor vehicle fuels tax, sales and use taxes and withholding tax. The amnesty did not pertain to unpaid local property taxes or federal taxes.

Equine Club sponsors fundraiser, allows guests to decorate horseshoes from SEASONALLY, page 1 he rides in his class.

McPartland said that he was especially grateful for members of the Equine Club taking the time to decorate and bring out Statesmen for him.

“It was the highlight of my Christmas,” said McPartland.

Inside, people could decorate horseshoes, draw in coloring books and drink hot cocoa, tea or coffee while Christmas music played through the speakers.

The Equine Club also sold predecorated horseshoes, including blue UConn-themed horseshoes, as well as horse and dog treats.

Those who had pictures taken could pick them up digital copies on compact discs right away.

Kelly Misovich of Storrs was considering using the pictures taken of her daughter Lara for holiday cards. Lara, a young but experienced rider with a pony of her own, was perfectly comfortable posing with Bucky.

Bucky and Fiona are quite experienced themselves, having been dressed up and photo-

graphed as a part of the Holiday Horse Photo Event for the past four years.

Equine Club member Rebecca Paquette explained that these horses are used for all kinds of classes from western to dressage and that their advanced ages makes them all the better with kids.

Storrs resident Michael Bronner said that he and his kids, Nour and Surya, come to Horsebarn Hill often to see the animals.

“It’s just one of the things these guys like to do,” said Bronner, noting that they especially liked looking at the horses, he said.

According to Equine Club president Katherine Fiore, a 7thsemester animal science major, over fifty people stopped by to have their pictures taken.

“It ended up being very successful,” said Fiore. With the funds raised from the event, the student organization hopes to travel and bring in speakers.

Company increasing database of STD testing locations for new app

give you when you ask if he or she has been tested for an STD. According to Bastani, if a partner says yes, “you don’t know when they were tested, what they were tested for and what the results were,” Bastani said. All you have is their word.

With the advent of Hula all services provided by Qpid.me have become simpler.

Qpid.me, and now Hula, provide four main services to its users.

The first is for people to find the best place to get tested in their area. Bastani’s company is rapidly increasing its database of STD testing locations, as they add approximately 100 new locations to the system each week.

Bastani describes this function of Hula as “Yelp for STD testing locations.” Hula shows not only where the closest places are but also provides reviews from fellow users who have

gone to those specific locations.

Hula’s second function is helping users get their STD test results. Once a person has downloaded the app they can press ‘request my results.’ Using this feature will send “a fax from you directly to your health care provider by way of the app,” said Bastani. The results a user then receives “look a lot less scary then a lab report.”

The third function of Hula is to provide “a flirtatious way to bring up the conversation,” Bastani said. When one wants to share STD status with a potential partner you can simply pass them your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and ask them to “unzip” one’s profile. It is the “modern flirtatious version of ‘I’ll show you mine if you show me yours,’” Bastani said.

An “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” request can be sent when partners are not together in person. If the partner accepts the request, then both

parties will be able to view each other’s test results. However, if in the future a person or their partner no longer want to share their results he or she can revoke access, Bastani said.

The final feature of the app is to remind users when it is time to get tested again. Hula reminds any user six months after a previous testing.

Bastani’s company’s mission is to make “the idea of STD testing suck less” and hopefully “stop the spread of STDs across the country.” Bastani wants to make this app available to everyone and he especially thinks college students will love it.

Bastani encourages everyone to download this free iPhone, iPad and iPod touch app to try it out.

“Your phone won’t get an STD – I promise,” he said.

Better communication between parties is needed for action on sexual assault

R

osemary Richi, a junior and one of the students who filed the Title IX complaint, said that she was sexually assaulted by a football player in September 2011. The incident was reported to UConn police in 2013, but Richi, along with others in the complaint, found the university’s policies and efforts to help them to be inadequate.

One reason for this lack of action may have been that Paul Pasqualoni, who at the time was still the head coach of the football team, was never informed of the situation.

Pasqualoni told The Associated Press he was never contacted about the allegation.

“I was not ever informed,” said Pasqualoni. “I was never made aware of anything. We never had those issues when I was there.”

These statements come in contrast to university police Chief Barbara O’Connor’s claim that Pasqualoni was, in fact, informed of the allegations.

“The UConn police department notified the division of athletics in the spring of 2013 there was an allegation of misconduct made against an athlete,” O’Connor said in a written statement according to The Hartford Courant. “The records of the UConn police department reflect that on June 18, 2013, the UConn police detective investigating the case contacted [Pasqualoni]. The detective advised Mr. Pasqualoni a state’s attorney from the judicial district of Tolland had reviewed the investigation and determined there was insufficient evidence to prosecute the case.”

The university has usually been prompt in notifying coaches of problems with athletes as evidenced by Tyler Olander’s multiple run-ins with the law followed by action from head coach Kevin Ollie. It may be possible that Pasqualoni simply ignored the message, which would be an issue in and of itself, but it seems much more likely to have been a breakdown in communication.

A similar situation happened with Kylie Angel, another student who filed the Title IX complaint against UConn. The university expelled the student who she claimed raped her, but his appeal was then reinstated in the university. Angell, however, was never informed that he had filed for an appeal or that he had been reinstated, even though she should have been.

In cases of sexual assault and other crime, there can be multiple parties involved such as the police, university officials, athletic coaches and, of course, the students involved in the matter. In such situations, the university needs to ensure clear communication. It is absolutely necessary as all parties need to be properly informed in order for effective action to be taken.

Does she look American to you?

I

f you were strolling the halls of Homer Babbidge library last week, you were most likely interrupted by a couple of students asking a simple question – “does she look American to you?”

Last week, seven undergraduate students, Jessica Hong, Megha Patel, Rokee Lu, Tapan Dalal, Tina Lapsia, Trinh Dau and Danny Cheng conducted a small research project for their Asian American Studies Institute course Asian American Experience taught by Dr. Angela Rola.

These students analyzed UConn students’ perception of what defines being American.

They surveyed a small sample

By Omar Allam of UConn stuWeekly Columnist dents and asked questions pertaining to their perception of patriotism, and the qualities that define Americans.

They asked questions such as, “what does it mean to be American?” and “what ethnicity do you define yourself?”

They also carried around a picture of Nina Davuluri, an American of Indian decent, who recently won the Miss America beauty pageant contest. They asked students whether or not they thought she looked American.

Their results were surprising.

When asked what does it mean to be an

about hidden racial issues, in regard to what defines being American, in respect to Miss America.”

He added that Asian Americans are known as a silent minority group, because society often sees them as “hard working, quiet individuals, and never causing a ruckus.”

However, because the Asian American community lacks the resources for major political influence, what these students are doing is the best solution to racism built up by society.

By raising awareness and conducting surveys that highlight the racism in society has fed us through the social interaction and social media around us, we can slowly eliminate this issue.

The cure to such a disease is “education, and being open to more cultures,” Cheng said.

Racism evolves from ignorance, which is fueled by fear and through education; we can put out fear and stop the synthesis of racism early.

Many people assume that they’re not racist, yet their actions often prove otherwise.

And this is often unnoticed until illustrated by an external influence.

The work that these seven students have done should set a model for other students on the university campus and across the nation. By educating people who believe that they are not explicitly racist is a step towards a better solution, a solution that will take time to make its mark on society.

Herbst has lost her authenticity

L

The @InstantDaily Twitter is alive again!

American several students answered with something along the lines of “to live in America and uphold American values such as patriotism, love for the country and support the American system. It doesn’t matter what ethnicity you are, America is the melting pot of the world. ” However, when the same students were shown a picture of Nina Davuluri, and asked whether or not she looked American, the students that did not recognize her as Miss America stated that she was not American.

The results showed that although college students at UConn said that the concept of being American “does not matter on what ethnicity you are,” they said that an American of non-European heritage is not American.

Quite contradictory.

When it comes to the UConn, many can argue that the environment is a safe and friendly.

UConn has a community that welcomes and accepts each other for who they are.

Not for how they look or their racial background. Like most Northeastern universities, a majority of the students at UConn identify as liberal.

However, this survey illustrates a social phenomenon that is present even at the most “liberal” universities – veiled racism built into society.

For those who consider themselves unbiased tend to find themselves thinking a certain way about a certain race, even if they do not intend to.

According to Danny Cheng, the purpose of this survey was to “raise awareness

ast Wednesday, Nov. 13th, President Herbst descended upon the Board of Trustees, once again, to allay concerns raised by her use of the English language at the last meeting of the Board on Oct. 23rd.

In her address that day, Herbst claimed the mere suggestion that UConn may “somehow be indifferent” to reports of sexual assault is “astonishingly misguided and demonstrably untrue.”

Grounding her assertion in wide-eyed wonder, she further remarked, “This is so obvious to those of us who

By Sarah Alder work here Staff Columnist and deal with these serious and painful issues, that I am stunned that I even must say it, or that any reasonable person would believe otherwise.”

After this spell of righteous indignation, Herbst rebuffed the allegation that campus police may have mishandled reports of sexual assault, choosing to defend their commitment to protecting UConn students, a commitment that she claimed to be “an extraordinarily hard job given this age group.”

Toward the close of the same address, Herbst again reminded

her audience of the contextual challenges of college students and sexual violence. She warned those just “dropping in” to this discussion that the issue at hand is a specific “set of social dynamics related to the behavior of young people that has been with us for years.” In order to participate in this discussion, Herbst suggested those unfamiliar with the concepts behind reporting sexual violence ought “to go out and read the very best sources, like The Chronicle of Higher Education, to learn about higher ed’s challenges, our conversations and our best attempts at solutions.”

In other words, “Stuff happens. Read academic literature.”

(Side note: you need a subscription to access even half of all Chronicle articles.)

These comments depicted college students as intrinsically antagonistic to the noble goals of police and academics worldwide. Of course a community full of college students will have a different set of challenges than say a town of geriatrics (lots of diminished eye-sight), or a town of newborns (lots of diaper rash), but that doesn’t really have much to do with the issue at hand: protecting people from sexual violence, which can really happen to anyone anywhere at anytime.

Needless to say, most peo-

ple didn’t take well to Herbst’s address to the Board of Trustees.

One Hartford Courant columnist called her comments “tonedeaf,” while others called her out for what they perceived as victim blaming.

Last Wednesday, Herbst changed her tone. She told the Board she was misunderstood, because some interpreted her to be “commenting directly on the individual students, or their cases, or the specific claims that had been made.”

Her new message was strongly supportive of efforts to combat sexual violence and included an institutional pledge “to keep our students safe, to prevent sexual assault, and to aid victims.” Overall, her message promised a commitment to the interests of the student body, “their families,” and “the state.”

“Our determination is unwavering” she vowed, as her final remark.

Finally! Boilerplate statements of support! Why didn’t we hear these the first time?

Still, I don’t think anybody buys Herbst’s claim that she was simply “misunderstood” as commenting on direct students or cases. She certainly made comments in reference to students’ and former students’ claims of UConn’s institutional indifference, which are part of the Title IX suit against the

university.

Unless Herbst misused literally every word in every sentence she said in that first address, it’s quite unlikely that the negative reaction to her first comments stemmed from misinterpretation. She can’t exactly pull a Clinton here and claim her former statement hedges on what the meaning “is” is.

How are we really supposed to respect and trust a leader who makes befuddled public comments on a vital social issue?

The lurking concern here is that our President has acted in bad faith, that her latter remarks are incompatible with her former remarks, that she’s already shown her cards and that it’s too late to bluff.

Given these polar statements, we do not know what Susan Herbst really thinks about these all-important matters, and the argument could be made that her personal opinion barely even matters. What we do know, however, is that we most respect and trust the people who speak authentically when they choose to speak at all.

And so the takeaway from Herbst’s two addresses is perhaps a personal one—to speak only when willing to take ownership for one’s words.

Whimsical puppetry and music bring joy

1923 - Alan Shepard 1958 - Oscar Nunez 1968 - Owen Wilson 1975 - David Ortiz

The Daily Campus, Page 5

By Jingyuan Fu Campus Correspondent The front lobby was already filled with people half an hour before the performance of “Peter and the Wolf,” at Jorgensen. Since the event had been advertised as part of “Kid’s Corner,” Jorgensen’s annual program for children, the noise level in the lobby was quite a bit louder. Sweet Emotions, the local candy store, held a booth in one corner and kids flocked to it, begging their parents for sweets.

The tumult seemed to only increase inside the auditorium, where hundreds of children squirmed impatiently and asked to go to the bathroom. After a few minutes during which the late arrivers scrambled for seats, the lights dimmed to enthusiastic applause.

“It means the show’s starting,” a parent explained to his child.

Director of Jorgensen Rodney Rock, strode onto the stage to welcome everyone.

“We’re almost at the end of our fall program,” he informed the audience, and then described the three major events that were still forthcoming.

Lady Gaga too late to the space race

By Carles Lopez Campus Correspondent Lady Gaga’s latest rumor of a space concert has been confirmed by Lady Gaga herself.

Lady Gaga’s eccentric style will come to another level when the pop artist flies to space in 2015.

“I was asked specifically to sing, so I’m going to be the first recording artist to sing in space, and I did not purchase my flight,” Gaga said in an interview for Vanity Fair Daily. “My ticket was given to me. This is a special festival event held by Zero G

Colony, and I will be flying to space two months after the first commercial flights take off.”

Gaga might be the first “recording artist” to play in space, however she is not the first person to perform in space.

The Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield astonished viewers all around the world while playing guitar and singing in the International Space Station.

Chris Hadfield is the most charismatic astronaut.

He loves social media and the social media loves him. He has posted many videos on YouTube with day-to-day life in space, on everything from how

hard it is to cry in space, how to wash your hands in space or how to make a space burrito. All of his videos work to revive space interest, trying to save NASA from the cut in funding.

All of his songs were recorded and posted in the NASA YouTube channel.

His most famous performance was Space Oddity, a cover of David Bowie’s song, was recorded in the International Space Station, while orbiting Earth.

Even though Chis Hadfield is not a recording artist, his music performance was the first in space.

Unwrap a new season of ‘Community’

By Matt Gantos Staff Writer

Jan. 2 marks a happy new year for “Community” fans. Since the announcement of season five last month, the show has been announcing numerous guest stars for the next season.

One such guest star is David Cross, known from his role as Tobias from “Arrested Development,” Nathan Fillion from “Castle” and Johnathon Banks from “Breaking Bad.” “Community” frequently features guests, but this season has an exceptionally high amount and a lot to make up for to fans after a collectively disappointing season four.

After season three, the mastermind behind the show Dan Harmon was released from the show he worked to create, and it just wasn’t the same without him.

Though we may have gained Dan Harmon back for season five, we lost Chevy Chase at the end of last season and will be losing Donald Glover midway through the season to come.

This partially explains why there are so many guest stars. First of all, the producers don’t have to pay Chase’s and Glover’s likely expensive salaries, so there will be more money kicking around.

According to the AV Club, following the announcement of Glover’s reduced role in the season--only five episodes in season five--rumors started to circle that he was doing it to focus on his rap career, which isn’t necessarily true. Childish Gambino is a factor but it was more so due to personal growth issues.

‘Community’ will return in the new year with the show’s fifth season. The new season will bring a couple of cast changes as some of the regular actors leave and guest stars fill in the gaps.

So in order to retain some fan base, Harmon and the team have reached out to popular guest stars to keep drawing viewers.

Some exciting returning guest stars are LeVar Burton, who is a childhood idol to Glover’s character, and John Oliver who will be reprising his character as lessthan-competent psychology professor Ian Duncan in at least six episodes.

Is it fair to call Oliver a “guest star”, after he vanished for two seasons, especially since his role in “Community” hasn’t been his most well known place of appearance? According to the AV Club, Professor

Duncan’s long absence will be explained, hopefully in more than something like “Oh yeah, back from England.”

One other thing that will be interesting to see is how the writers handle the fact that the study group will technically be entering a fifth year at Greendale, despite Jeff Winger’s graduation at the end of last season.

The questions of why these guest stars and what are they going to be doing, will be answered on in the season starting January 2.

“Community” fans take January 2 with a

grain of salt because of season four’s delay start. Season four which was originally scheduled to air on Oct. 19, 2012 was moved all the way to February and the Halloween special aired the week of Valentine’s Day, which was briefly addressed.

Despite the void that will be left behind

by Chase and Glover, the casting staff has been hard at work to fill it with actors they know people want to watch. That, as well as the return of Dan Harmon, make for a promising season.

Strategy matters for Mario Kart

Have you ever been driving behind someone that you just want to nail with a Koopa shell and go on speeding, or is that just me?

When Mario Kart 64 was released in 1997, an instant classic was born. Sure there were more realistic racing games for the N64, but Mario Kart added the element of being able to use items to pass opponents, whether it was the Koopa shells, a Star to grant you some extra speed and invincibility or a lightning bolt to shrink your enemies, making them easier to run over.

Most people don’t realize character selection matters in the game. Some drivers like Toad are lighter characters and can be totally run over by a heavyweight character like Bowser or Donkey Kong.

On the other hand, the heavyweight characters have a much slower acceleration but a higher top speed.

This was something I didn’t know for the longest time. I thought the developers didn’t start defining weight classes and stat independent characters until the Gamecube version of the game, Double Dash.

Double Dash, in which you have two characters riding on a kart, was an interesting idea but not one Nintendo seemed to want to go forward with after releasing newer games for the Wii and the DS. The only real advantages to having two characters in a kart were that you could carry two different items and have two different special items, because each character has his or her own special item he or she shares with only one other character.

One nice thing about Mario Kart 64 is that if your character is holding three shells you can press the button to fire them only once and they begin to circle the kart, making you something other drivers don’t want to go anywhere near, which protects you from incoming projectiles and allows you to pick up another item.

One of the most memorable tracks in the games is Rainbow Road which appears differently in each game. The consistency of it lays in the visual representation, which is just a rainbow-colored path floating in space.

Rainbow Road is memorable for its frustrating difficulty because it is almost too easy to drive your kart off the edge and lose a lot of time.

In my opinion, playing Rainbow Road in the Wii version of the game is the most frustrating, mostly because I never got used to using the Wiimote as a steering wheel, which was a pretty innovative idea by Nintendo.

If you can claim to be a person who does not get moderate to severe road rage, try driving on a narrow rainbow path with few walls while avoiding bombs, banana peels and flying shells.

The moral of the story here is that Nintendo put out a great game to play with friends to relieve some of our road rage in a nondestructive and less expensive manner than taking it out on a real driver.

“Modern Family” has been on fire since the start of its fifth season. At the point in a show’s lifespan when the quality (historically speaking) tends to decline “Modern Family” is incredibly at its very best with its entire ensemble firing on all cylinders. This week’s episode “A Fair to Remember” showcased the brilliance of the program when it attempts to handle multiple story arcs at one time. Great one-liners and witty banter fill a solid, but not entirely perfect episode this week.

One of the best additions to the show’s fifth season has been the two guest appearances (so far) of Adam DeVine as Jay and Gloria’s nanny Andy. Channeling his inner Tim Tebow, the Comedy

Central star has been a brilliant addition to the series.

DeVine’s portrayal of Andy is somewhat reminiscent of Jack McBrayer’s “Kenneth Parcell” from “30 Rock.”

His “aw shucks” attitude and demeanor provide instant entertainment whenever he’s on screen.

Andy’s role in the episode mostly constituted a series of minor arguments with Hayley, the latter of which was using Jay’s pool. About as close to polar opposites as you can be, their scenes provided amusing, if somewhat clichéd banter, undoubtedly culminating in what was hinted at to be a future romantic storyline.

The rest of the family went to the local fair for the day.

Phil and Claire each went on a series of escapades in an attempt to prevent the other from discovering the nature

of the anniversary gifts they planned to exchange. This storyline was filled with a ton of great one-liners.

Meanwhile Manny attempts to enter the fair cake-baking contest. Worried that he’ll be made fun of, Gloria attempts to sabotage her son’s entry.

A quasi buddy cop storyline featuring Jay and another father at the fair undoubtedly constituted the most humorous sections of the episode.

After the pair argues over a parking space disagreement, the pair is assigned together to a fake charity police team.

This culminates in a “stabbing” wherein Jay’s partner is impaled by a snow cone.

The two proceed to panic over the impeding demise of the now ruined shirt. It was a bit ridiculous and slightly out of character for Jay to play along but was nonetheless

amusing.

Alex and Luke only have a minor storyline in the episode wherein Luke is trying to score a date with the same girl Alex has made friends with.

Predictably, the event ends with them both losing her.

Cam and Mitchell also have a reduced role. At the fair, Cam is simply venting his frustration from the poor performance of his football team. Good for a few gags, but beyond that the storyline was (wisely) kept to a minimum.

Some might argue that by choosing to showcase a wide variety of storylines characters are deprived of an adequate level of exposer. To a degree that’s correct but honestly, it’s a real treat to see such a large talented cast play any role big or small week by week.

While it has gained a cult following throughout the last five years, “The League” has always been one of the most criminally underrated shows on television. Due to Netflix and word of mouth, it has continued to gain a growing audience but the show is not really as widely known as you would expect for a comedy of its caliber. It is easily the funniest show on television and certainly the most daring, but one that people continue to overlook it for one reason or another.

While it’s easy to see why the premise of a show centered on middle aged men obsessed with fantasy football could turn away the majority of viewers who do not share this interest, this is a mistake. The show often shows them taking their fantasy football obsession to a ridiculous and comical level, but it has never been solely about football. Instead, the show focuses on the group of friends, their day-to-day lives and the ridiculous shenanigans they get themselves into. It’s really a grown up version of “Blue Mountain State.” The content matter is often mature centering around sexual situations and humor. We see these guys and one of their wives deal with things like pubic grooming and anal sex but it’s not all sexual. We often see them deal with awkward comic situations regarding racism, sexism and dating in your forties.

This season “The League” has continued to deliver the best comedy on television.

The show’s semi-scripted nature, allowing for improvisation from the actors, is really key to its success. I’m sure none of the

“The League” shows real and comedic issues that people dating in their forties would encounter. The improvisation used by the actors help to add realism to the characters’ relationships.

actors are like their characters completely, but they are probably not too far off. The dynamics and friendships all feel, and are real. The chemistry is off the charts and we get the rare realistic depiction of male friendship filled with all the dirty jokes, pranks and cruelty that come with it, but from a loving place.

One episode I really liked this season was the one where Taco, the always high stoner, sobers up and realizes his life is a mess and begins to change things for the better. We learn that Taco was an intelligent child until the gang held him down and made him try marijuana, leading him to do nothing else for the rest of his life. How does the group respond to this? Taco’s intelligence is a problem because suddenly he’s really good

at fantasy football. They kidnap and force him to smoke weed again. Is this somewhat mean spirited? Yes. Is it hilarious? Yes. This is the kind of laugh out loud humor “The League” is delivering week after week, yet continues to be overlooked. For some reason everyone is watching “2 Broke Girls” or “Two and a Half Men” where nothing is funny and the jokes are all dry.

Nobody wants to give “The League” a chance. If you haven’t given the show a chance yet, I would recommend you log on to Netflix or borrow your friend’s account and check it out immediately. Trust me. You won’t be disappointed.

‘GIRLS’ season three teaser trailers released

By Katie McWilliams Senior Staff Writer

Since the end of season two of “GIRLS” in April, producers have been releasing pieces of information to tantalize Hannah, Marni, Shoshana and Jessa’s biggest fans. From Christopher Abbot’s speedy departure from the cast to the addition of Danielle Brooks--that’s right, Taystee from “Orange is the New Black” is joining Lena Dunham on screen--to the weekly sneak peeks of the set, it’s been a hard few months for “GIRLS” fans to endure.

While season three doesn’t start until Sunday, Jan. 12 with two back-to-back episodes from 10 to 11 p.m., it’s a good time to reflect on season two and maybe even re-watch the key moments.

Season two started off with Hannah trapped into taking care of Adam after he broke his leg while breaking up with her.

While his romantic feelings for her have escalated, Hannah is searching for love and meaning in another male companion, played by Donald Glover. Marni is still single after a messy breakup with Charlie and unemployed after the gallery downsizes. As she moves in with Shoshana, we see how Marni has hit rock bottom.

Elijah has moved in with Hannah and their friendship is strengthened by their mutual insanity and acceptance of each other’s quirks.

As the season progresses we see Shoshana become increasingly uncomfortable with Ray and his lack of ambition, Marni makes mistake after mistake with Elijhan and Booth Jonathan and crawls back to Charlie when she discovers he

is the creator and director of an innovative, successful tech brand. Hannah’s Obsessive Compulsive Disorder returns and we learn the deepest darkest secret she alludes to in season one. Over all, season two is a whirlwind adventure with episodes that focus on individual character instead of the group as a whole. Generally, I dislike this characteristic in T.V. shows that make their name off witty character interactions, but for the sake of “GIRLS” it shows how fragmented and lonely the lives of 20-somethings can be.

A few episodes of season two really stand out as phenomenal television moments, including “One Photo courtesy of avclub.com Man’s Trash,” colloquially Season two of ‘GIRLS’ ended with many loose ends that will hopefully make season three an entertaining season.

Downfall of social interactions

I hear new episodes are shown on Comedy Central, but nobody really watches “Beavis and Butthead” anymore and their relevance has faded somewhat from the pop culture mainstream spotlight. The names spark nostalgia and memories of the 90s in all those who were present at the time to remember the show, but very few remember actual moments or quotes in addition to the characters. Like most successful shows, it had its run and peaked then faded away.

“Beavis and Butthead” sparked controversy in the beginning of their run.

People felt they were poor examples for American youth and that they were the poster children for the feared “MTV Generation” that parents and conservative groups constantly warned about.

It’s hard to take that seriously now with shows like “16 and Pregnant” or “My Super Sweet 16” pulling in ridiculous amounts of viewers, but at the time it was the case. What people never stopped to realize is that this was the entire point of “Beavis and Butthead.”

The fact that MTV aired them was a big joke that creator Mike Judge was laughing at and could not believe to be true.

The two were always meant to be satire and somewhat of a warning that this was exactly where American youth was headed. Yes, it was a funny show and a funny movie, but nobody was ever supposed to like these two. We were supposed to laugh at them but be worried about the future and do something about it.

What’s scary about the show’s satirical nature not that it was already so true at the time, but that it’s even truer today.

Everything the show had to say about American youth’s values, culture and beliefs has only gotten worse. Beavis and Butthead sat around watching MTV all day and refused to do anything else.

We see in the movie that the two have grown so stupid from this that when their TV is stolen they don’t even realize it right away and it takes them forever to process the information while staring at the thief escaping with it out the window. At the time TV was the technology and MTV was the thing. Now imagine them sitting next to each other on the couch playing on their iPhones while watching Netflix and texting each other about it. How different is this from what they were doing?

It’s been said that texting and modern day technology is ruining American youth by lowering social abilities and distracting them from enjoying the outside world. As a camp counselor, I was disturbed to find that the majority of the kids never wanted to play or talk with one another. All they wanted to do was play games on their iPads or Nintendo DSs all day. When the battery died, they would scream and freak out if they had forgotten to pack their chargers. When I told them to put their things away and play with each other my requests were met with nothing but yelling and rude comments. Kids don’t understand the value of money, but downloading as many apps as they want on their parents’ account for anywhere from 99 cents to $10 a pop has made this worse. I always heard kids say things like, “Why don’t you have this game? It’s only 10 dollars.”

I could go on and on, but you get the point. Things are getting worse. “Beavis and Butthead” may seem outdated, but strangely enough everything it said that would come true has. Is there a solution? The show didn’t seem to give one and given that I also grew up in this distracted and lost generation of American youth that Mike Judge warned us about, I am not capable of learning anything I didn’t see on TV. If I was would I really have this column? I’m exaggerating a little bit, but this really is a problem today. Log on to Netflix and watch “Beavis and Butthead Do America.”

It’s a funny movie I guarantee you’ll enjoy, but try and tell me you don’t see everything I just talked about in it now.

Scary, isn’t it?

Offense slumps for UConn as Harris returns

By Scott Carroll Staff Writer

ing to maybe keep that going, but it also didn’t go so well tonight.”

The Huskies had their chances against the Falcons’ goaltender, Branden Komm, with shots ringing off the pipes throughout Friday night. Komm would finish the game with 30 saves.

Head coach Mike Cavanaugh said that his team was frustrated by their ability to finish.

“Tonight I think it affected us,” Cavanaugh said. “In the future I hope it doesn’t affect us as much and we’ll be mentally tougher. And the only way I think you become that way is having a game like this and understanding that if you get frustrated, you’re not going to be successful. So you got to believe that if you’ve had five

or six chances and they haven’t gone in, that the seventh one’s going in.”

Perhaps the biggest story of Friday night’s game was the special teams as the Huskies finished 0-4 on their power play, while allowing back to back power play goals to the Bentley Falcons early in the third period that sealed the game 3-0.

“I just think you’re going to have some of those nights,” Cavanaugh said. “I just think you’re going to have some of those nights. Starting pitchers sometimes get lit up and tonight our power play wasn’t very good.”

The Huskies special teams were unsuccessful again Sunday night in the 4-1 loss

That 3-pointer was the only shot BU made from beyond the arc in 12 attempts in the first half at one point, but then the Terriers went on a hot shooting streak, hitting the next three 3s as part of a 13-2 run to pull within 37-32 to conclude the half.

The momentum carried over for BU coming out of the break as two John Papale 3-pointers and a D.J. Irving jumper put the Terriers out in front to a 43-42 lead.

With the game tied at 46-46 with a little over 15 minutes remaining, UConn again clamped down its defense and went on a 24-5 run to pull out in front again to 70-51 to match its largest lead of the game and cruised on to the victory.

“We just wanted to keep a clear mind, understand the game plan,” Ollie said on BU’s comeback. “We started rebounding a little better.

We got in transition… We just kept passing the ball to each other, kept our turnovers down, too. I was very happy with that.”

BU, the unanimous selection as the preseason favorite to win the Patriot League in its first season there, has been shooting 48.4 percent from the field so far but UConn was able to hold that number to just 34.4 percent Sunday, something Ollie was very pleased about.

The Huskies ended the game even on rebounds with the Terriers at 36 apiece, but 19 of BU’s boards came on the offensive end and Ollie further stressed the importance of winning the battle on the glass.

“Once again, it comes down to offensive rebounding and it comes back to transition,” Ollie said. “That’s our game. If we can rebound the basketball, I’ll put my money on us any night.”

With the win Sunday, UConn has now won 52 consecutive games at home and four straight over BU for a 42-12 all-time edge.

The Huskies will conclude the 2K Sports Classic – benefiting the Wounded Warriors Project – when they travel to New York later this week for the championship rounds. UConn will face longtime former Big East rival Boston College on Thursday and Indiana or Washington Friday.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Baylor keeps passing tests and changing perceptions about if the high-scoring Bears are for real.

A day after overcoming their first double-digit deficit of the season, and turning that into yet another lopsided victory to stay undefeated, the Big 12-leading Bears moved up a spot to third in the new Associated Press poll

Sunday. That matches the highest ranking ever.

The Bears (9-0, 6-0 Big 12) jumped ahead of Ohio State (100), which on Saturday matched a school record with its 22nd win in a row, 60-35 over Illinois.

Two-time defending national champion Alabama and Florida State, both 10-0, stayed in the top two spots.

After a 6-0 start in 1953,

Baylor was third in the AP poll for a two-week stretch before losing three of its last four games.

Coach Art Briles and Baylor extended its school-record winning streak to 13 with a 63-34 victory over Texas Tech, which had jumped ahead 14-0 in the first 8 minutes and scored touchdowns on its first three drives Saturday night at the Dallas

The UConn men’s hockey team dropped both their games this weekend, losing to Bentley 3-0 and Boston University 4-1.

Captain Brant Harris made his return to the lineup this weekend and was able to score his first goal of the season against Boston University on a wrist shot from the left circle.

Harris had been held out with a knee injury through the first six games of the season.

“It was great being back with the boys and in the locker room and all that,” Harris said after Friday’s loss. “Coming back to a game where they’ve been pretty hot lately is pretty excit-

to Boston University. The Huskies would go 0-3 against the Terrier penalty kill, while Boston University was able to convert on their only power play. UConn has let up a goal on their last three penalty kills.

“I think our special teams needs to get better,” Coach Cavanaugh said after Sunday’s loss. “We weren’t as sharp on special teams this weekend. It certainly cost us the Bentley game and it was a whole difference tonight.”

UConn will look to improve next weekend as well as get Harris back up to speed as they take on American International College on Saturday.

from FINAL FOUR, page 1 UConn held a 22-8 advantage in shots and had nine penalty corners to Boston College’s eight. Huskies senior goaltender Sarah Mansfield made four saves in the win.

With the win over Boston College, head coach Nancy Stevens’ squad advanced to the tournament’s second round to take on No. 20 Michigan State (14-10), a team that upset No. 2 Syracuse 2-1 the day before.

It was once again Anne Jeute scoring off of a penalty corner that put the Huskies on the board, as the senior

was able to give UConn a 1-0 lead ten minutes into the first half off of a rebound from sophomore back Roisin Upton.

Hunnable then netted her 22nd goal of the season at the 24 minute mark on an assist from Bolles to give UConn a two-goal lead.

A yellow card called on the Huskies would allow Michigan State to get back into the game, as the Spartans were able to capitalize on the man advantage in the 25th minute, moving the score to 2-1 in favor of UConn.

It was Bowden who sealed the win for the Huskies, as the sophomore was able to

give UConn a 3-1 lead in the 63rd minute off of another assist from Bolles.

The Huskies held a 6-2 edge in penalty corners and a 19-6 advantage in shots.

Mansfield made three saves against the Spartans and earned her 19th victory of the season.

UConn will return to the field on Friday, Nov. 22 at 4:45 p.m. to take on No. 3 North Carolina in Norfolk, Va. for the NCAA tournament semifinal. The Tar Heels defeated the Huskies 2-1 in the teams’ last meeting on Oct. 26.

No. 3 Baylor reaches highest ranking ever, faces another test Cowboys' stadium.

"The impressive part is we took a couple shots, and then we dodged a bunch, next thing you knew it was a fight and we were actually in it," Briles said.

"As you get deeper on in, you're going to have more games that could very easily fall that way."

How right Briles is.

Baylor plays next Saturday night at No. 11 Oklahoma State (9-1, 6-1), the preseason Big 12 favorite that has now won six in a row. The Cowboys are coming off a 38-13 win at Texas (7-3, 6-1), another Big 12 contender the Bears still have to play.

"This is a special team and I knew it from the get-go. We like these games," quarterback Bryce Petty said. "It's these kinds of games that you want to fight with your brothers and win together."

While the AP media poll is not factored into the Bowl Championship Series, Baylor also moved up a spot in the new BCS standings — to fourth Sunday night. They were fifth last week, a spot behind Stanford, now a two-loss team

after a 20-17 setback at Southern California on Saturday night.

The Bears trail Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State in the standings that determine who plays for the national title.

Texas Tech (7-4, 4-4) was up 14-0 on two TD catches by standout tight end Jace Amaro.

The Red Raiders led 20-7 after an incredible one-handed 5-yard TD catch by Eric Ward.

But Baylor, on pace for major college records with 61.2 points and 684.8 yards per game, had a 21-20 lead by the end of the first quarter and never trailed again.

And the Bears were playing without Big 12 rushing leader Lache Seastrunk, second-string running back Glasco Martin and 103-yard-a-game receiver Tevin Reese. They have accounted for a combined 24 touchdowns.

"I like how calmly you mentioned their names," Briles said when asked about the missing trio. "To us they're not guys.

I mean, they're dynamic teammates. ... With them not being there, I think we are growing as a team from an offensive standpoint. The thing that's helping

us is we're playing really good defense, which allows us to figure out how to use the people that are going to have to try to compensate for those guys not being there."

After the Red Raiders had 217 yards on 31 plays their first three drives, they had only 237 yards in 57 snaps the rest of the game.

Shock Linwood, effectively Baylor's third-string running back, ran for 187 yards — after being Big 12 offensive player of the week for his 182 yards against Oklahoma after Seastrunk and Martin got hurt early in that game. Devin Chafin, another redshirt freshman, ran 11 times for 100 yards and two TDs. Levi Norwood, getting more chances with Reese out, had seven catches for 156 yards and two scores. He also returned a punt 58 yards for a TD that made it 20-14.

"Took us a second to get going.

For us, we know it's coming," said Petty, who threw three TD passes and ran for two scores.

"We have to settle down. I think a lot of it was a spark when Levi took that punt return."

The UConn women’s cross country team finished in 11th place out of 40 teams at the Northeast Regional Championships, held at Van Cortland Park in the Bronx.

UConn finished with a total of 332 points. The reigning champions, the Providence Friars, defended their title with a 44-point first place finish.

UConn Coach Amy Yoder Begley raced five runners on Friday: Emily Durgin, Brigitte Mania, Abby Mace, Laura Williamson and Emily Howard. Begley said that she was very proud of the way her team raced. She said this race

was all about gaining experience.

“I was very proud of the way the girls ran,” Begley said. “We were predicted to finish 22nd but we came in 11th. We cut it in half and I thought that was great.”

Durgin led the Huskies once again, finishing in 16th place, with a time of 20:42.

Abby Mace had a very impressive performance, finishing ahead of her teammate Brigitte Mania with a time of 21:10, claiming 34th place.

“Abby had her best race of the year,” Begley said.

“She had a great race and she learned a lot about herself.

She raced really strong and it will continue to show the rest of the year.”

Begley also said she was

impressed with Mania’s last career cross country race.

Begley said the senior developed into a powerful distance runner over the season.

“She ran great this season and I expect her to have a great season in track,” Begley said.

“This cross country season gave her an amazing base of strength to prepare for tack.”

Begley said she has high hopes for this team next year despite the loss of Mania.

“Our goal for next year is to finish in the top five in regionals and head to nationals,” Begley said. “All the young members on our team will have another year of experience. Next year will be really amazing for these girls.”

Napier continues pursuit of UConn greats

JESS CONDON/The Daily Campus

Shabazz Napier dribbles the ball against Boston University Sunday afternoon at Gampel Pavilion. Napier is now 26th on the all-time scoring list and eighth in career assists.

By Tim Fontenault Sports Editor It was not the prettiest performance, but the No. 19 UConn men’s basketball team once

again showed its depth and knocked off Boston University 77-60 in the final regional game of the 2K Sports Classic.

Nine players scored for the Huskies, three hitting double

from the floor, resulting in him passing up a lot of easy opportunities, including a layup opportunity that ended up becoming a posterizing dunk by DeAndre Daniels, because of a lack of confidence to make the shot himself.

In his first three years at UConn, Napier made a habit of taking risky shots, including miraculously successful heaves against Villanova and West Virginia in 2012. Now a mature captain, Napier is more reserved about his shot selection.

“I just think I get carried away,” Napier said. “I took too many 3s before, and those 3s were sometimes luck of the draw, sometimes just lobbing 3s. And I know I can get to the paint and take a floater at midrange. I just felt like when you become more experienced you understand what becomes much needed, and I felt like that’s one thing I worked on over the offseason was just trying to shoot a lot of mid-range and getting the 3-pointer out of my hand.”

Daniels turns the corner It was a quiet start to the season for DeAndre Daniels.

Through two games, the junior was averaging a meager four points and 1.5 rebounds per game. But during the last two games, Daniels has stepped up in a major way.

After an 11-point explosion in the second half Thursday against Detroit, Daniels went for 24 points against the Terriers, adding three rebounds in the winning effort.

“Guys were finding him, he was hitting his shots, looking aggressive, so it was nothing special that we did with the game plan,” head coach Kevin Ollie said. “We just stuck with what we do. He had opportunities to pick and pop, but he’s also able to be aggressive down on the low post, on the block, and also get some buckets taking some of his guys to the lane and getting some dunks.”

figures, as the Huskies were able to hold off the Terriers, who made things interesting early in the second half when they took a 43-42 lead.

UConn led by 19 with 6:22 to play in the first half before the Terriers fought their way back to make it a five-point deficit entering halftime, ending the half on a 19-5 run. BU then started the second half on an 11-5 run, but from that point on, the game was all UConn.

“They’re a very talented team, just like a lot of Connecticut teams are,” Terriers coach Joe Jones said. “They have a lot of depth up front, a lot of length up front. They have great guard play.”

Napier continues to climb Another day, another milestone for Shabazz Napier.

During Sunday’s game, Napier passed A.J. Price (1,284) and Bob Staak (1,288) to move into 26th on the all-time scoring list at UConn. With his fourth assist of the game, the 480th of his career, he passed Khalid

El-Amin, the point guard of the first national championship team in 1999, for eighth all time.

“I didn’t know that; that’s kind of new,” Napier said of his position on the all-time assist list.

“But it’s something not a lot of guys like to do, so I wouldn’t be surprised to be that close, to be No. 7 or No. 8. But it’s a great opportunity to get your guys excited because I know what can excite me, but when you can get others excited it just brings out excitement in yourself, so I’m just happy to be the guy to assist.”

Napier now sits 18 assists away from becoming the fourth UConn player ever with 1,000 career points and 500 assists, joining Taliek Brown, Doron Sheffer and Tate George.

The UConn captain finished the game with a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds, missing out on his second tripledouble of the season by four assists.

Napier did struggle from the field, however, shooting 3 of 9

Texas, threw for 353 yards and four touchdowns on Saturday, making a case for AAC Offensive Player of the Week honors for the second week running.

It took Gilbert a few drives to settle into the game, failing to convert a fourth down before two three-and-outs on his first three drives. But the senior then led the Mustangs on two consecutive drives – a seven-play, 75-yard drive and a 12-play, 80-yard drive – that resulted in passing touchdowns and a 14-0 lead for SMU. That is when UConn’s offense started to show some life. But whenever the Huskies would fight their way back into the game, the Mustangs were able to stay a step ahead.

Following Gilbert’s second touchdown pass, Cochran led the Huskies on a 10-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a seven-

yard touchdown run by Max DeLorenzo, who has been sharing carries with Lyle McCombs in the UConn backfield.

But instead of going into halftime within striking distance, the Huskies allowed Gilbert to double the Mustangs’ lead with a five-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Johnson with 18 seconds remaining in the first half.

On UConn’s second possession of the second half, Cochran threw his first touchdown pass as a starter, his third of the season, when he hit Sean McQuillan in the end zone on a one-yard pass to cut the lead to 21-14.

On the ensuing drive, Gilbert needed only two plays to bring the Mustangs 74 yards to the end zone, hitting Keenan Holman for a 20-yard score to make it 28-14.

The Huskies got within seven early in the fourth quarter when Cochran hit Geremy Davis for a

26-yard touchdown with 10 minutes to play, but that is as close as UConn would get. A field goal with 3:50 left gave SMU a 10-point lead, and less than one minute later, Cochran was picked off by SMU’s Stephon Sanders, who returned the ball 35 yards for the touchdown and the final blow.

UConn now has three games

left to find a win, starting with a trip to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to take on Temple on Saturday.

The last time UConn played at Temple was Sept. 18, 2010, when the Owls beat the Fiesta bowl-bound Huskies 30-16.

period, then they get the two powerplay goals in the third period, and that was the game.”

The UConn offense – which was highlighted by the return of senior captain Brant Harris to the lineup – proved unable to put the puck in the net despite several shots off the post and a handful of quality scoring opportunities. “(Friday night) I think it affected us,” Cavanaugh said of the team’s offensive frustration. “In the future I’m hoping it doesn’t affect us as much. We’ll be mentally tougher, and the only way I think you become that way is having a game like (that) and understanding that if you get frustrated you’re not going to be successful.”

Sophomore forward Patrick Kirtland led the Huskies with five shots on goal, while senior goaltender Matt Grogan made 27 saves on 30 shots for a .900 save percentage in his sixth start of the season.

UConn’s powerplay – which coming into the game was

ranked first in Atlantic Hockey – was 0-for-4 on the night, while the penalty kill was 0-for-2.

The Huskies then travelled to Boston on Sunday to take on future Hockey East opponent Boston University (5-6-0, 2-3-0 Hockey East). UConn would drop its second game of the weekend, falling to the Terriers 4-1.

After a scoreless first period, BU rattled off a trio of second stanza goals, with the first coming just 33 seconds into the period off a shot by sophomore forward Matt Grzelcyk.

The Terriers then scored twice more before the end of the period, with the team’s second goal following just five minutes after Grzelcyk’s and the third coming on a powerplay with six minutes remaining before the second intermission.

Forward Brant Harris put UConn on the board four minutes into the third period, scoring his first goal of the season on a wrist shot from the left circle. Sophomore defenseman

Kyle Huson and freshman forward Sean Gaffney each had an assist on the play.

However Harris’ goal would prove to be too little too late.

UConn was unable to capitalize on a powerplay with less than five minutes remaining in regulation, which resulted in a successful kill by the Terriers.

BU went on to seal its 4-1 win with a empty net goal with less than a minute remaining in regulation.

The Huskies’ powerplay once again struggled, as the team went 0-for-3 on the man advantage to finish 0-for-7 on the weekend. BU’s powerplay goal was the third allowed by the UConn penalty killing unit on the weekend, which finished the two-game stretch 0-for-3.

UConn will continue its road trip with its next game on Nov. 23 in Springfield, Mass. against Atlantic Hockey rival American International.

Football loses Cochran's first start, 0-9 for first time ever

By Tim Fontenault Sports Editor

Casey Cochran played well in his first game as the starting quarterback of the UConn football team, but the Masuk High School alum could not prevent the Huskies reaching a new low.

Cochran was 25 of 42 for 227 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, which both came with the game all but wrapped up for Southern Methodist, who topped UConn 38-21 at Ford Stadium in Dallas Saturday afternoon, propelling the Huskies to 0-9, the worst start in program history.

UConn (0-9, 0-5 American Athletic Conference) matched the 1977 team’s 0-8 start with a loss to Louisville on Nov. 8.

With one more loss, the Huskies will join that team as the only two in UConn history with 10

losses in a season.

Failure to win another game will make this year’s team only the fourth in program history to finish a season winless, joining 1898, 1911 and 1932.

Cochran was officially announced as the starting quarterback by interim head coach T.J. Weist last week after he had shown the ability to make plays during his four appearances as a substitute during the season.

The redshirt freshman replaced true freshman Tim Boyle, who made four starts after replacing redshirt junior Chandler Whitmer after four games to start the season.

But while Cochran had arguably the best performance of a UConn quarterback to date this season, he was overshadowed by one of the nation’s best: Garrett Gilbert.

Volleyball tops Rutgers Huskies fall to Bentley, future conference foe BU

By Ryan Tolmich Campus Correspondent The UConn volleyball team was able to put an end to its four game losing streak, as the Huskies swept Rutgers in New Brunswick, NJ. The Huskies took down the Scarlett Knights in straight sets, as a balanced attack led to a 25-19, 25-19, 25-20 score line. The Huskies previously defeated Rutgers on Oct. 11 at home 3-1.

UConn was led by junior captain Devon Maugle and freshman Camille Evans, both of whom were able to contribute eight kills to the Husky cause. The Huskies also received seven kills from junior Karson Ratliff and freshman Jade Strawberry, while Erika Thomas and Immanuella Anagu recorded four kills each. Marissa Prinzbach was responsible for 32 of the 35 Husky assists.

Defensively, the Huskies

were once again led by libero Brianna Datti, whose 14 digs led the way for the visitors. Joining Datti on the dig parade were Sage Esposito, Maugle and Thomas, who posted nine, eight and eight digs respectively.

The Husky victory could be attributed largely to minimizing mistakes, as the Huskies made only 10 errors on the evening. Rutgers, on the other hand, struggled through with 22 errors of their own.

The Huskies now find themselves with a 12-17 record, including a 3-11 mark in the conference, which is good for eight in the conference.

UConn will round out its home schedule over the weekend, as Gampel Pavilion will play host to visitors Memphis and Temple, who find themselves sitting seventh and sixth respectively in conference play.

The UConn men’s hockey team dropped a pair of games this weekend, falling to Atlantic Hockey rival Bentley 3-0 on Friday night and dropping a road game against Boston University 4-1 on Sunday.

Friday night’s loss against Bentley (3-7-0, 2-2-0 Atlantic) marked the Huskies’ (3-3-1, 2-1-0 Atlantic) first conference loss of the season, and despite only being down 1-0 after a closely-contested first period, the Falcons were able to pull away after a pair of second period powerplay goals gave them a three-goal lead.

“I think frustration crept in with our club,” head coach Mike Cavanaugh said. “We got frustrated and we possibly didn’t handle that as well as we should’ve. And then that affected parts of our game in the second period. I didn’t think we were as good in the second

It hasn’t been a stellar start to the season for the Boston Bruins (12-6-1, 25 points) but they are near the top of the Eastern Conference and the Atlantic Division all the same.

Up next is a date with the Carolina Hurricanes, a regular thorn in the side of the Bruins, dating back to their days as the Bruins’ second-biggest rival, the Hartford Whalers.

Which team will come out on top: the division leader or the team fighting for a playoff spot?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Aaron Harrison scored 19 of his 28 points in the first half and No. 1 Kentucky started all freshmen for the first time in rolling to an 87-49 victory over Robert Morris on Sunday night.

After three games of starting four freshmen around sophomore 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein, coach John Calipari rolled out a rookie lineup of Harrison and twin brother Andrew, James Young, Marcus Lee and Julius Randle. That look lasted just 51 seconds as Cauley-Stein replaced Lee, but the Wildcats (3-1) used other combinations of highly touted recruits.

Harrison ended up grabbing the spotlight instead of leading scorer Randle, shooting 7 of 12 from the field and making all 10 free throws. He also had four rebounds and three assists.

Randle added 10 points and 15 rebounds and Young had 10 points in the rematch of last spring’s NIT game won by Robert Morris.

The game quickly turned into a mismatch as the bigger, faster, Wildcats jumped out to a 17-2 lead and led by as 40 points. Kentucky shot 28 of 57 from the field (49 percent), outrebounded the Colonials 56-33 and dominated the inside 36-16.

Cauley-Stein finished with a career-high 13 rebounds, and Andrew Harrison had eight points.

Karvel Anderson’s 16 points led Robert Morris (2-2), which shot just 16 of 69 (23 percent).

The game itself was intriguing with the Wildcats facing the team that ousted them from the NIT with a 59-57 NIT loss outside Pittsburgh in March, sparking Colonials fans to storm the small home court in celebration.

In many ways that contest typified Kentucky’s disappointing and inconsistent season with a fourman group including big man Nerlens Noel — whose season-ending knee injury hastened the downfall — and guard Archie Noel. Both are now gone to the NBA. Calipari hasn’t watched the tape of that game, but the lingering memory of the loss stayed with veterans such as Jon Hood up until practice. As for this year’s eight-man crop of talented newcomers, they were trying to get over Tuesday’s 78-74 loss to No. 2 Michigan State in Chicago.

On both counts, the Wildcats succeeded quite easily.

Kentucky faced a Robert Morris lineup featuring three returning starters from that game plus leading scorer Karvel Anderson, but the Colonials played nothing like last spring’s upset-minded squad. They started 1 of 10 from the field, and that first basket came on Aaron Tate’s jumper at the 11:36 mark.

By then the Wildcats were up 17-4 and rolling toward a 44-20 halftime lead built on Aaron Harrison’s hot start including 4-of-8 shooting and eight free throws. Everybody else was 9 of 22 as Kentucky shot just 43 percent and committed 10 turnovers, none of which mattered because the Colonials were just 6 of 30 (20 percent).

What pleased Calipari was his team’s 29-14 rebounding advantage including a 12-8 edge offensively. Cauley-Stein had 10 and Randle eight, just what the coach wanted to see.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina spent Sunday clanging free throw after free throw off the rim. Each miss proved costly once Belmont made a last-minute comeback to hand the No. 12 Tar Heels their first home nonconference loss in eight years.

The Tar Heels missed 26 free throws in the 83-80 loss to the Bruins in the Hall of Fame Tipoff. That included a woeful 9-for-28 showing in the first half that undercut any momentum the Tar Heels were building when they pushed the ball into the paint or hit the offensive glass.

UNC coach Roy Williams said the players each shot 200 free throws during a recent practice and finished with a cumulative mark of better than 70 percent. Yet on Sunday, the home crowd started holding its collective breath every time a UNC player stepped to the line.

“I don’t know,” sophomore Brice Johnson said of the freethrow struggles. “That hurt. We should’ve made free throws. ...

Make at least 10 of those we win the game. We just have to concentrate, just take our time.”

Sophomore J.P. Tokoto had the most frustrating day, going 4-for-16 with a run of eight straight misses during the first half. The Tar Heels got a little better after halftime by making

13 of 20 (65 percent) to finish at 22-for-48 (46 percent), while Belmont hit 20 of 22 to take advantage of its chances.

“They stepped up to the line and showed toughness and knocked down their free throws,” Tokoto said. “And we kind of didn’t.”

For Belmont, senior J.J. Mann hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 13.1 seconds left and finished with a career-best 28 points.

His last 3 gave the Bruins an 81-80 lead. Then, after a missed shot for the lead from Tokoto, Caleb Chowbay scored on a breakaway layup with 0.2 seconds left to seal a stunning win that had Belmont players rushing onto the court to celebrate at the horn.

The Tar Heels (2-1) had rallied from 11 down in the second half to lead by eight with about 4 minutes left before Belmont’s comeback.

“There aren’t great victories unless you beat great programs,” longtime Belmont coach Rick Byrd said. “... It’s a big moment right now for us.”

Mann hit five 3-pointers and added nine rebounds to lead the Bruins, who hit 15 of 37 3s.

“I was about 99 percent sure it was going in,” Mann said of his go-ahead shot.

Drew Windler scored 16 points and hit four 3s of his own for the Bruins, who shot

45 percent and managed to steal back a game that looked to be slipping away late.

North Carolina ran off 14 straight points to go ahead in the second half and extended its perimeter pressure on Belmont’s outside shooters, holding the Bruins to one field goal over a 10-minute span. But after the Tar Heels had pushed ahead 73-65 on Marcus Paige’s driving basket with 3:46 left, Mann and the Bruins pushed back.

Mann knocked down a 3 to cut the deficit to 78-75 at the 1-minute mark, then followed

with another less than 10 seconds later that pulled Belmont to within 80-78.

The Tar Heels had a chance to make it a two-possession game again, but Paige lost the ball on a dribble drive with 19.9 seconds left, leading to a jump ball that set up Mann’s final shot.

James Michael McAdoo scored a career-high 27 points and had 13 rebounds to lead the Tar Heels, who again played without leading scorer P.J. Hairston and senior guard Leslie McDonald due to NCAA eligibility concerns. Paige finished with 17 points.

THEY’RE A HOCKEY SCHOOL

Daniels scores 24 points to lift No. 19 Huskies over Terriers

By Mike Peng Senior Staff Writer

Tyler Morrissey Once again it’s that special time of year on the college football schedule where the game’s most exciting matchups take place, packed with spirit, tradition and hatred for one’s competition. I can only be talking about one thing.

Rivalry week.

While most rivalry week games take place on Nov. 30, one matchup will take place this Saturday down in New Haven, Conn. On Nov. 23 the 130th playing of “The Game” between Harvard and Yale will kick off from the historic Yale Bowl nestled in the heart of New Haven.

In order to understand college football’s biggest rivalries like Auburn and Alabama, Notre Dame and USC, Michigan and Ohio State, you need to understand Harvard and Yale. “The Game,” is shrouded in tradition and fanfare and could arguably be considered the first true rivalry in collegiate sports.

It all began at New Haven’s Hamilton Field in 1875 when the two teams met for the first time.

While the series produced some spectacular finishes throughout the 20th Century, nothing will come close to what happened 45 years ago during the 1968 Harvard/Yale game.

Yale came into the game with a 16 game winning streak and was heavily favored to beat Harvard that year, despite the fact the Crimson were riding their own eight game winning streak. Under center for the Bulldogs was quarterback Brian Bowling, who amazingly had only lost one football game he played in since the 6th grade.

The Bulldogs enjoyed a 29-13 lead over Harvard in the 4th quarter and it looked as if Yale would emerge victorious, but what happened next is something that will live on in college football history.

With just 42 seconds left in the game the Crimson scored 16 points, tying the score at 29. During this time there were no overtimes in college football which meant the game would end in a tie. The 40,280 fans in attendance were lucky enough to witness what ESPN called the No.9 best college football tie of all time.

Harvard’s student newspaper, The Crimson went on to immortalize the game with their headline “Harvard beats Yale 29-29.”

The tale of the 1968 Harvard/ Yale game is just one of many thrilling contests between these two schools. In today’s modern college football landscape rivalries like Harvard and Yale are often overshadowed by games like Auburn and Alabama, but tell that to thousands that pack the parking lots in Cambridge in New Haven.

After attending “The Game,” at both schools it’s hard to choose which side “wins” the tailgate. I will always be slightly biased towards Yale since I live 25 minutes away from Yale Bowl; however I was thoroughly impressed with the show Harvard fans put on.

This year Harvard comes into the contest with an impressive 8-1 record. Yale (5-4) looks to end Harvard’s recent dominance in the series, as the Bulldogs have not beaten the Crimson since 2006.

“The Game” is special for many reasons, but perhaps the biggest reason this particular game is so special to me and college football fans is that it’s not just about the final score on the scoreboard. Don’t get me wrong, in football and most sports winning takes precedent. But at the end of the day “The Game” is about family, friends and alumni coming together as one to take in one of the greatest traditions in college football.

No. 1 Huskies top Maryland, Penn State on road

By Matt Stypulkoski Associate Sports Editor It was an early season test and UConn passed it with flying colors.

Two wins, both against top10 teams – No. 8 Maryland and No. 13 Penn State – for this UConn squad, on the road for the first time this season no less, was no simple task. But the Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewisand Morgan Tuck-less Huskies managed to pick up doubledigit wins anyway.

On Friday, the shorthanded Huskies dispatched the physical Terrapins, 72-55, behind a 26-point outburst from sophomore forward Breanna Stewart.

Stewart logged 33 minutes in the game, one of four UConn players – along with Bria Hartley, Stefanie Dolson and Moriah Jefferson – to put in more than 30 min-

utes. Heavy use, of course, is expected from a team that is down to just seven scholarship players.

Early on, it was rough sledding for the Huskies. The first 20 minutes were easily the most competitive that UConn has faced this season, and Maryland managed to stay within five points heading into the locker room.

But after falling behind early and weathering the early storm during which both Stewart and Dolson found themselves in foul trouble, the Huskies allowed just 17 points after the halftime break and out-rebounded the Terps 26-17 in the second half on the way to victory.

Junior Kiah Stokes, who notched a career-high 13 rebound against Stanford last week, played 23 minutes and managed just two points, but added eight rebound and

two blocks to the effort.

On Sunday, things came a bit more easily for the Huskies. Within the first 12 minutes, UConn held a double-digit lead that it would never relinquish on the way to a 71-52 win.

This time, the win was not fueled by the Breanna Stewart Show – instead, Hartley came up clutch for the understaffed Huskies with 29 points.

The senior point guard, who leads the team with an average of 16.3 points per game this season, shot 10-for-20 and hit five of her 10 shots from behind the arc to will UConn to a perfect 4-0 start.

Stewart chipped in with 14, but freshman Saniya Chong was the Huskies’ second-leading scorer with 16 points on 5 of 8 shooting.

With the two wins, UConn has escaped two of its tough-

est test of the early season – they do not play another currently ranked team until Dec. 17, when the Huskies travel to Cameron Indoor to face the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils.

In the interim, UConn con-

tinues with a home game against Oregon Wednesday night at the XL Center. That game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. tip-off on SNY.

UConn falls to USF in AAC Final on penalties

By Mike Corasaniti Senior Staff Writer

Follow Tyler on Twitter @ TylerRMorrissey

Tyler.Morrissey@UConn.edu

The No. 19 UConn men’s basketball team (4-0, 0-0 American Athletic Conference) withheld a 3-point shooting barrage early in the second half by Boston University (2-1, 0-0 Patriot League) and pulled out a 77-60 victory Sunday at Gampel Pavilion in the second game of the 2K Sports Classic.

DeAndre Daniels scored 24 points, Ryan Boatright added 16 and Shabazz Napier recorded a doubledouble with 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead the way for the Huskies.

UConn came out of the gates strong and got off to a 19-4 start after just eight minutes of action.

Daniels, who scored just 19 points in the first three games of the season, was a large part of the run and scored 12 points on a 5-for-8 shooting at the half.

“I just wanted to stay aggressive the whole time,” Daniels said. “I played terrible the first two games… but I just stayed aggressive, just keep shooting and I was able to hit some shots today.”

The Huskies’ defense was tremendous in the early going and did not allow the Terriers to score their first basket until the 11:26 mark in the first half on a Cedric Hankerson 3-pointer.

UConn junior forward Allando Matheson scores in the final second of the AAC Quarterfinals against SMU. The Huskies lost to South Florida in the Final on penalty kicks Sunday.

The No. 11 UConn men’s soccer team lost to the USF Bulls in penalty kicks Sunday afternoon in the inaugural American Athletic Conference Tournament Championship Game.

Led by the offensive tandem of Mamadou Doudou Diouf and Cyle Larin, the Huskies (11-2-6, 4-0-4 AAC) managed to outshot USF 13-7 Sunday at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Tex. Edir DaGraca also delivered three shots of his own off the bench.

But after playing to a 0-0 draw after 90 minutes of play and two overtime periods, the inaugural championship game went into penalty kicks to decide the winner. The

Bulls (9-3-8, 2-2-4 AAC) then outlasted the Huskies thanks in no small part to senior goalkeeper Brentton Muhammad, who stopped the last three UConn shots to preserve the 6-5 penalty victory.

UConn junior goalkeeper Andre Blake stopped three shots him- UConn self during the penalty kick USF rounds. His clean sheet performance through regulation and overtime was his sixth consecutive shutout.

Despite the loss, the Huskies had four representatives on the conference alltournament team including Blake, Larin, junior midfielder Adria Beso, and junior defender Sergio Campbell.

The Bulls had five represen-

tatives on the team including Muhammad.

With the victory, the Bulls earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The Huskies will undoubtedly still be in play in the tournament despite not earning an automatic bid.

The loss on penalties was the first blemfor the Huskies 0 (5) ish since a Sept. 17 loss 0 (6) to Syracuse. UConn had gone 9-0-4 since before Sunday’s outcome.

The NCAA tournament selection show will be today at 12 p.m. to decide who the Huskies will face to begin the next round of the postseason.
