The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Thursday, February 21, 2008 - 7A VANDERKAAY From Page 1A set a high standard for their brothers to follow. At Michi- gan, Christian was a 2004 NCAA All-American in the 200 -meter freestyle relay and Peter won five NCAA titles. He was also a member of the gold medal-winning 800- meter freestyle relay team at the 2004 Athens Olym- pics and set a new American record in the 500-yard free- style on Feb. 9. Considering these impres- sive accomplishments, and given the natural competition between siblings, Alex might feel the pressure to outperform his brothers as he prepares for his final Big Ten and NCAA Championship meets. But mention his brother's achievements, and Vanderkaay responds with humility and support rather than envy. "If I don't make the Olym- pic team, I'll be disappointed that I didn't make it and not because I didn't make it and my brother's on it," Vanderkaay said. "I don't feel like if I don't reach that same level that I'm a failure. I'm just happy that he's that good and really don't feel that much pressure." And Vanderkaay shouldn't feel pressure - he has already proven himself a winner. In his career as a Wolverine, he was the 2007 NCAA Champi- on in the 400-yard individual medley, a five-time Big Ten Champion and a member of Team USA for the 2007 World University Games. Vanderkaay was also a four-time NCAA All-American as a sophomore and a three-time NCAA All- American as a junior. In addition to his contribu- tions in the pool, Vanderkaay has been a strong two-year cap- tain for the Wolverines. Bow- man said he showed the signs of a true leader by stepping up at times when his team needed a role model. "Heis anexceptionalleader," Bowman said."Particularlylast year, when he was a junior and we didn't have a senior class, I thought he did an excellent job." This summer, Vanderkaay's main goal is to make the U.S. Olympic team. To earn a spot, he must have one of the two fastest times in his event at the Olympic trials held in Omaha, Neb., from June 30 to July 7. This will be his second trip to the trials after his 19th place finish in the 200-meter butter- fly failed to make the team in 2004. While he describes his first experience as "humbling," Vanderkaay now knows what to expect from the meet. "(The last trials) were very intimidating and it was more of just a learning experience for me because I knew I had no shot at making the team," he said. "I think I've come into the realization that I am one of those upper-level swimmers now and I need to look at it and say'I have a shot here' and real- ly go after it." The outcome of this year's Olympic trails will determine Vanderkaay's future for the next few years. If Vanderkaay doesn't make this summer's Olympic team, he plans to continue training in hopes of making the 2009 U.S. World Championship team. If he does earn a spot on the Olympic team, he might be hanging up his suit and gog- gles even sooner. "If I were to make the team, I'd probably retire after the Olympics," Vanderkaay said. "I'd be done after that - it would be enough for me." GEO From Page IA and that it's not unreason- able to push for it," said Helen Ho, GEO president and a communications studies GSI. The union agreed to extend the labor contract on the recommendation of its bargaining team, which has been meeting with University represen- tatives weekly in six-hour negotiation sessions since December 2007. "We did want to con- tinue talking with the University." Woods said. We made concessions last week and we're hoping that they'll make conces- sions this week." Earlier yesterday, GEO members gathered in the lobby of Haven Hall for a "grade-in" - a sit-in style demonstration - dur- ing which GSIs graded papers, met with students and talked with passersby about the stalled contract negotiations. Wearing bright red and orange t-shirts that read "GEO Contract Campaign 2008," more than 100 GSIs showed up over the course of the three-hour period. Organizers had expect- ed only about half the turnout. "It's really great to see so many GEO members here supporting each other," Ho said at the grade-in. "And if anything, that's going to be a signal to the administration that our union is as strong as it ever was." According to sev- eral GSIs in attendance, the event was meant to increase solidarity within the union and make the plight of GSIs more vis- ible. "This kind of visibil- ity makes undergrads and faculty aware of what we do and how important we are," said Nafisa Essop Sheik, a history GSL But with the GEO's cur- rent contract set to expire next month, the ongoing labor dispute was not far from the minds of many in attendance. "(The negotiations are) slow and we're still quite far apart on a numberof our proposals," Ho said. "We're really trying to push for things to start moving a little bit quick- er." - tsholar Thirunavukkarasu contributed to this report. phone: 734.764.0557 -a, MIAfax: 734.936.1054 AWESOME LUXURY COMMU- NITY.

For Thursday, Feb. 21, 2008 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The problems you're undergoing with your health, with your job or with co- workers have been depressing! However, as the day wears on, you're starting to get a better take on things, and you're feeling much better. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The stress of dealing with children, romantic partners and friends has taken its toll in the past few days. However, promises of travel, higher education and a bit of adventure lift your spirits! Yeehaw! GEMINI (May 21to June 20) Whatever stress you felt while dealing with authority figures is now lessening today. The prospect of inheritances and gifts or goodies from others makes you smile. (Of course!) CANCER (June 21to July 22) Difficulties with siblings and daily contacts are subsiding; in part, because a close friend or partner is offering his or her support to you. (This gives you a warm feeling in your tummy.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You're less worried about financial matters now that things are looking bet- ter with your job. Some of you are also encouraged because you're feeling healthier. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Difficulties with partners and friends are settling down and seeming to be less stressful. In fact, later today you feel flir- tatious, playful and frisky! You also might enjoy playful times with children. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Whatever stress you recently felt with co-workers or your job is now diminish- ing. The enjoyment of your home or relations with family members makes, you feel better Things look more hope- ful! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Discussionswith siblings and relatives make you feel better about the difficul- ties you had with someone else. Everything is in perspective now. (No big deal.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Stressful dealings with daily contacts and siblings are fading. The prospect of further education, travel or escape some- where is a welcome diversion! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20to Feb. 18) Money worries are lessening. Ironically, it looks like the cavalry has arrived in time. Someone or something is going to help you. (Whew!) PISCES (Feb. 19to March 20) This recent Full Moon has been tough on partnerships and close friendships. However, someone else is giving you encouragement and understanding. This makes all the difference! YOU BORN TODAY You're a sensi- tive person. You pick and choose your friends carefully because, basically, you're private. It takes you a while to' trust someone; but when you do, you're emotionally .sensitive and open. Partnerships are important to you. You're very perceptive about others, and you seek a mutual appreciation with someone. You value honesty. The year ahead is wonderfully social and lovely for partnerships.
