bridge between the two lan-
guages chosen by concentra-
tors and encourage students
both to discover and to make
connections between them
and the cultures that have

he said in an e-mail interview.
He said a recent poll of
romance language concentra-
tors indicated that between
10 and 15 students per class
would consider this concen-
tration.
Spanish Prof. Frank Casa
said that he doesn't think the
concentration will attract
many students. Still, he said
it's an important option to
offer.
"It is clear that the more
languages one knows, the bet-
ter prepared one is for careers
where languages are part of
the work," Casa said in an e-
mail interview.
French Prof. George Hoff-
man said the major is crucial
in a globalized society.
"We live in a connected
world," Hoffman said. "I can't
think of anything more impor-
tant, in fact, than learning
more about different parts of
the world."
OHIO STATE
From page 1A
People constantly criticize
Sims for having no passion.
People say he slacks off, he
pouts, he avoids contact and
that he doesn't show up in big
gaines.
But when he was benched
following a loss to Michigan
State, Sims did none of those
things. He scored 13 points
in the next game against
then-No. 24 Indiana and
posted a double-double in last
Tuesday's win over Michigan
State.
The center continued the
new trend yesterday.
He went toe-to-toe with
the likely no. 1-overall pick
in the upcoming NBA Draft
for the entire contest. Greg
Oden was clearly the superior
talent, but Sims held his own.
He looked for contact against
Oden and demanded the
ball when his opponent had
four fouls. He aggressively
pursued rebounds and loose
balls. He scored 11 big points
against the No. S team in the
nation.
It would be an even bigger
mistake to remember Harris
for his miscue. The Detroit
native has carried the Wol-
verines all season long. He is
the consistent go-to scorer,
the guy who provides abig
shot or play whenever Michi-
gan needed it.
When the season looked
lost after a four-game los-
ing streak, Harris scored
14 points in the first half of
the Minnesota victory Feb.
10. He had 16 in the win
over the Hoosiers and 24 in
Tuesday's victory against
the Spartans.
It's safe to say the Wolver-
ines wouldn't have won any
of those games without him.
Harris was the same yes-
terday. He hit the first basket
of the game, abaseline 3-
pointer. He extended the lead
to five just before the half,
stopping a Buckeye run. He
hit a 3-pointer just after half-
time when an Oden bucket
cut the margin to one. And he
finished with a game-high 19
points.
Yes, Michigan blew the
game. The Wolverines were
up six with four minutes to
go at home, with a chance to
Monday, March 5, 2007 - 7A
plant themselves firmly on
the NCAA Tournamentbub-
ble, and didn't score again.
Yes, Harris and Sims were
the main culprits, the easy
scapegoats.
You can remember the
missed dunk and free throw
as the reason Michigan won't
make the tournament if you
want. You can remember
those plays as symbolic of the
disappointing careers Harris
and Sims had as Wolverines.
Many will.
But if you do, also remem-
ber that the only reason that
those plays mattered was
because of the earlier play of
Harris and Sims. Remember
that the only reason this
game mattered was because
of their play late in the sea-
son.
And remember that they
are the reason you were on
your feet with your heart rac-
ing as the Michigan basket-
ball team almost pulled off an
incredible upset of the no. 1
team in the nation in the final
game of the season.

For Monday, March 5, 2007
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
You feel restless today. You want
something new and exciting to happen.
(Or maybe this is what you're afraid wil
happen?) You want to break free from
some kind of restriction.
TAURUS
(April 2 to May 20)
Expect to he surprised by a friend
today. Aliternatively, you could meet a
new contact who is totally bizarre or
quite different from you in some way.
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
You feel highly independent today.
You don't want anyone telling you what
to do. You feel especially rebellious with
bosses, parents, authority figures and
even the police.
CANCER
J.une 2110o July 22)
Exciting, new, fresh ideas could blow
you out of the water today. Unexpected
opportunities to travel, as well as sudden
chances to expand your education, might
also occur. Act quickly.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
Surprise gifts and goodies could come
your way today. Possibly, these goodies
will come to you indirectly through a
partner. Either way, you win.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You feel very independent in all your
relationships today. You don't want to be
hemmed in by anyone. That's why
you're doing a soft-shoe shuffle - now
you see me; now you don't.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Interruptions to your daily routine at
womb are inevitable today. Computer
breakdowns, poawe outages,Ccanceled
appointments - something will change
things.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23to Nov. 21)
Parents must be extravigilant with
children today, because this is an
accident-prone day for them. Others
might be thrilled with new, surprising
flirtations.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 2210o Dec. 21)
Unexpected company might drop by
today. Or expected company mightabe
no-show. Either way, things are a bit
topsy-turvy at home today. (Stock the
fridge.)
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
This is a mildly accident-prone day for
you be careful. Slow down; take your
time doing things. Don't mouth off to
people or jump to conclusions. Watch
out for knee-jerk reactions.
AQUARIUS
hJan. 28 to Feb. 10)
You might find money today; you
might lose money. Something to do with
your possessions and your financial
transactions is quite unpredictable right
now. Keep an eye on things. Check your
bank account.
PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20)
You feel feisty, independent and
maybe rebellious today. You wantto call
the shots. You won't be bossed around!
YOU BORN TODAYYou have amaz-
ing discipline. You will isolate yourself
in order to achieve your goals. Many of
you choose to work alone because you
feel more productive this way.
Nevertheless, intimacy is important; you
don't squander your time. In the year
ahead, you will apply your particular
skills to study and learn something valu-
able for the future.
