"It will attempt to create a 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 developed along with them," 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. - Bromwich can be reached at dabromwi@umich.edu. the michigan daily KA L'AGE4 4 Ban &a a Apis.
