On Michigan's first three possessions of the second half, coach Lloyd Carr called I1I pass plays and 18 running plays. Then. in the final 1:18 of the football game, that same arm got a workout, throwing the ball 16 times. Brady com- pletei nine of those passes. Of the seven he missed. two might have cost Michigan he game. After marching the Wolverines 64-yards to the Illini 16-yard line. Brady dropped back to pass with a little more than 10 seconds to play. Needing just a touchdown and a two- point conmersion to tie the game. Brady threw a perfect strike to the two-yard line. One problem: Illini cornerback Tony Francis caught the pass instead of Michigan's Dax id Terrell . Francis fumbled the ball into the Illini end zone, giving Michigan a glimpse of hope - had a Wolverine recovered the ball, it would have been a Michiuan touchdown. Instead. Muhammad Abdullah, the Illini's free safety, pounced on it for a safety. securing the stun- ning Illinois victory, 35-29. The frenzied finish capped a feverish final two minutes in which twice Michigan drove inside the Illinois 30 and twice Brady threw interceptions. Terrell nearly caught a touchdown pass with 27 seconds -emaining that would have given Michigan a chance to tie the game with a two-point conversion. but the pass fell off the finger- tips of the spraxk led-out sophomore split end. "Everyone is vcrv disappointed.? Brady said, "We usually don't lose games like these. We just beat ourselves today. And national championship teams don't do that. By Nika Schulte Daily tatf Reporter Offering a glimpse of the high expectations they have for the Fish Bowl, representatives of Einhorn Yaffee Prescott Architecture & Engineering P.C. presented the Unixersity Board of Regents with illustrations of their Nision for the Mason and Haven Hall renova- tions at the board's monthly meeting FridaY. "We are going from a fish boxxI to an aquar- ium," architect Stev e Einhorn joked about the multi-level addition. The three-year project. which w ill also include reno ations to Mason Hall, is expected to begin in September 2000 after completion of the desian this spring. The project is estimated to cost 538 million. Although originally appro-ed as an infra- structure renoxation by the regents, the regents approved of the design that now include an addition to the east side of the building as well as the space above the Fish BowI. EYP Executive Principal Tom Birdsey said the plans for the interior include wider corridors leading into an expanded area for students so that the locale can remain a x ibrant place for activ.ity. ,The Fish Bowl is a major crossroads and we want to accommodate and encourage it," Birdsey said. Einhorn said in order to develop the design for the building's exterior of the addition, the architects looked at older buildings such as the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library and the Kraus Natural Science Building to "weave their themes into the new facade. -We want to reflect upon the past while we embrace the future? 'Einhorn said. Regent Larry Deitch (D-Bloomfield Hills) said the plans will be an asset to the Diag's aes- thetics. -It is a ecry thoughtful design and signifi- cantly improves something central to Central Campus." he said of the revised project and design. Since office space for the American culture, history and political science programs may be affected during the process. Unixersity Chief Financial Officer Robert Kasdin said displaced faculty could be moved to rented offices or available space in the Frieze Buildine. The regents also approved the design and budget of an addition to the institute of Science and Technology High Bay on North Campus.

Kasdin presented an investment report for the fical year 1998-99, highlighting the Unixersity's S2.5 billion endowment fund. This year's investment perfor- mance placed the University in the top quartile of 150 college and University portfolios tracked bx Boston-based investment adviser Cambridge Associates. But University President Lee Bollinger cau- tioned that comparing institutions endowments is not a horse race. "it is simply better to be where we are today," he said. A presentation from PricewaterhouseCoopers also informed the board that there were no mis- statements or illegal activity that was found dur- ing their audit of University finances. At Frida 's meeting, \lichigan Student Assembly President Brain Elias presented the regents with a report detailing how MSA com- mittee members can be accessed when student input is needed. In its last two games. Michigan (2-2 Big Ten, 5-2 oxerall) proved it is anything but a national championship team. dropping both games. The loss knocks Michigan out of the Sugar Bowl hunt and sex erely hampers its Big Ten hopes. But there's much more to blame than Brady's two interceptions. There's Carr's conservative play calling for most of the second half. There's two blocked Jeff Del Verne kicks, one field goal and one extra point. There's Stexe Frazier's poor snap on the 28 with 1:48 to play and Michigan trailing by one. pushing the Wolverines back 25 yards and out of field goal range. And there's the complete collapse by Michigan's defense, which blew a 27-7 lead by alloxxwing 21 fourth-quarter points. "You have to be able to protect the lead." Carr said. "When you giVe up big plays. you don't protect the lead." The biggest plays of all were made by Illinois" Rocky Harney, a backup running back. At halftime.

Physics Prof. emeritus Martinus Veltman delivered the' ture, "Understanding Particles." in recognition of his I Nobel Prize in Physics, which was awarded Oct. 11. "Within five days, he's back in Ann Arbor:' Univet * sident Lee Bollinger said. "For that, we are very, grateful Veltman traveled from his home in the Netherlands to University for the week, where he worked from 1981 1997. Friday morning, prior to the lecture, the University's B( of Regents presented Veltman with a gold-framed rege resolution, after giving him two standing ovations. "I'm really overwhelmed by all of things that are happening to me tI days," Veltman said. His lecture gave an overview of work that lead to his his Nobel P w rh i c v r . H l o n t worthy discovery. He also noted work of others, whose accomplishm in physics laid the groundwork for own success.

Holiday cele'bration shows Hindu traditions By Shabnam Daneshvar Dail- S-t--Reporter The Centers for Disease Control has declared a change in its vaccina- tion guidelines to include more vacci- nations, for preventing meningitis on college campuses. After meeting with the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices last Wednesday, CDC now encourages colleges to educate stu- dents about the potentially fatal bacte- rial meningitis and supply students with the polysaccharide meningococ- ca vaccine. Prior to this meeting, CDC had issued no set guidelines or recommen- dations regarding the infectious dis- ease "We are now saying that vaccina- tion should be provided or made easi- ly available to those (first-year stu- dents) who wish to reduce their risk of disease," said Nancy Rosenstein, a doctor in the meningitis branch of the CDC based in Atlanta. ACIP cited two different 1998 CDC studies that identified the high- er risk of infection among college first-year students in residence halls. Both CDC and ACIP recommend those who provide medical care to this high-risk group also give information to students and parents about vaccina- tion benefits. "We have always been consistent with the CDC's guidelines," University spokes, --son Julie Peterson said. "When they changed their recommen- dations this week, we did too." Peterson stated vaccinations and infor- mation about meningitis is available to all those interested in learning more.

Control in Atlanta now recommends that K incoming first-year college students be educated on the benefits of meningitis vaccines. " in the past two weeks, 550 meningitis vaccinations were administered to University students. additional doses available and offi- cials say they have the resources for 250 vaccines per week. But the price of vaccination at the University is higher than most other Michigan universities. It costs stu- dents S89 to receive the bacterial vac- cination. Robert Winfield, interim director of University Health Services, said in a written statement the University's administration of the vaccination dif- fers from other universities that may not charge students because the University sees less urgency in the sit- uation. "We .:. have, fortunately, not had a case of the (bacterial type) since 1995, and we are making vaccination avail- able to students at their request; but not as an emergency public health measure" he said. Health officials remind students to remain watchful of typical symptoms of the viral and bacterial meningitis which include severe headache, neck stiffness, fever, aches and nausea.
