In that one gesture, Muckalt illustrated what all the olverines must have been feeling: There's no place like ome. "The crowd was awesome," Michigan coach Red erenson said. "They were incredible. It would have been mbarrassing for anyone not to give their best with this wd and the environment here." e home-ice advantage - coupled with determination d hard work - lifted the Wolverines (32-11-1) from a two- oal deficit to rally and upset defending champion North akota (30-8-1), 4-3, in the NCAA West Regional finals. A crowd of 6,544 witnessed the third-seeded Wolverines core the final three goals of the game to dethrone the see- nd-seeded Fighting Sioux in arguably the biggest game ever layed at Yost. The victory propels the Wolverines into the ational semifinals in Boston on Thursday to face New ampshire. "It's definitely a big victory," Michigan captain Matt Herr "It's a credit to our team. Our team pulled together. verything didn't go our way that game. We've got a young am, but every guy on this team did a great job." Two players who have been doing great jobs for the olverines all season are Herr and center Bobby Hayes. The o teamed up three minutes into the third period to break a -3 tie. Hayes, after taking a centering pass from Herr on a 2-on-1 sh, waited, and then fired the shot over North Dakota goal- nder Aaron Schewitzer's shoulder. It was the first Michigan of the game, and the only one it would need. o give up three goals to that team is a little bit too much," ayes said. "To be able to get four goals is a tribute to us, to ur hard work and perseverance. We wanted this game more han anything." Although that final goal was the deciding play of the ame, the turning point happened much earlier. In the second period, the Sioux were on a 5-on-3 power lay when Michigan goalie Marty Turco made a clutch stick ave. Forward Justin Clark cleared the puck to Herr, who got hind the entire North Dakota defense after just exiting the alty box.

Port Daily Staff Reporter Two-year-old Trevor Cypress had the opportunity to enter the dancing circle Friday night in the kick- off of the Ann Arbor Pow Wow, while 10,000 spec- tators looked on at Crisler Arena. Cypress' entrance into the dance circle was his introduction into the larger Native American com- munity. His mother, LSA sophomore Melissa Cypress, described her son's participation in the grass dance as an "early rite of passage." Melissa Cypress said her son has had a lot of exposure to his Native American heritage, and many of her family members traveled from Florida to partake in the celebration. The Ann Arbor Pow Wow began as a small gath- ering in 1972 in a library in Angell Hall. But 26 years later the event, hosted by the Native American Student Association, has become one of the most celebrated pow wows of the Native American people. Many well-known dancers, singers and artists graced the Ann Arbor scene dur- ing the course of the weekend. The Pow Wow also included dance contests, which were broken down into six categories: tradi- tional, fancy, grass dance, women's jingle dress and -' - -,,.~,-,. - ~*--**~-'4t* -. -- - - 'U' officials change chalking policy By Jason Stoffer Daily Staff Reporter Members of the University's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender commu- nity chalked sidewalks in the early morning hours before National Coming Out Week last semester, but the chalk- ings were removed by University groundskeepers the next day. Last winter term, leaders of the gay community said they believed members of the campus chapter of the College Republicans erased their Diag chalkings. In response to this and other chalking incidents, the University officially amended its Policy for the Scheduled Use of Outdoor Areas last week to state that the University will not remove chalkings on University sidewalks or plazas. Mary Lou Antieu, assistant to the vice president for student affairs, said the community's reaction to the inci- dent last winter caused administrators to draft a formal, written chalking poli- cy. Under the former unofficial policy, if someone called groundskeepers to say they found chalkings "objectionable," groundskeepers would remove the chalkings, she said. In addition, side- walks used to be cleaned according to a regular schedule. "Chalkings were being removed because of the content of the chalking and we found that we needed this to change," Antieu said. "When a govern- met unit removes a sin or chaking political group will chalk more fre- quently now that they know their mes- sages will not be removed. "I'm glad the University has finally come to the realization that chalking and postering are the same, and they can't abridge our First Amendment rights," Kirk said. Queer Unity Project planning team member Amanda Miller said she is "surprised" and "elated" by the policy change. She said the removal of chalkings dur- ing National Coming Out Week last fall was prejudiced and implied that some members of the University community harbored strong anti-gay sentiment. The old policy "was absurd," Miller said. "It relied on the prejudices of a few people to decide when chalkings were removed.' Antieu said the University would consider removing chalkings if individ- uals complained the chalkings were libelous, slanderous or otherwise vio- lated the law. But under the policy, if chalkings were altered by other groups, as they were last winter, the University would not become involved in the mat- ter. If someone considers a chalking offensive, Antieu said, they should no longer turn to the University for help. "The appropriate response would be for the group who's offended (by the chalking) to remove it on their own," she said. Miller said chalkings. whether they NATHAN RUFFER/Daily A man, dressed in traditional ceremonial clothing, participates in a Native American dance ceremony during the weekend's Ann Arbor Pow Wow, which was held at Crisler Arena.
