They were so consumed with their heated game, in fact, that none of them noticed the visitor who had quietly joined them. Eventually, their concentration was interrupted when the visitor's gruff voice said, "You're not supposed to serve like that." The guys all turned only to find a police officer.In an authoritative tone, the officer explained that the serve was illegal. The ball had to be tossed at least six inches into the air before it was hit with the paddle, he said. "I used to serve like that also, but I joined a ping pong league, and they told me it was wrong," the officer said. He went on to explain that he was playing with the big boys now, and couldn't do cut serves anymore. It was a lesson the boys took to heart.

Dean won't seek second term as Dems chairman 0 Former presidential candidate known for '50-state strategy' WASHINGTON (AP) - Demo- cratic National Committee Chair- man Howard Dean plans to step down from his post when his term expires in January, wrapping up a tenure in which the party heavily invested in all 50 states for a pay- off that helped elect Barack Obama president. Dean, who was briefly his party's presidential front-runner in 2004, was elected DNC chairman in 2005 and has long vowed to serve only one, four-year term. At a postelec- tion news conference in Washing- ton last week, Dean indicated again that he didn't plan to stay on, aides said on Monday. President-elect Obama, a Demo- crat, was expectedtochoose Dean's successor. Traditionally, the presi- dent selects the national chairman of his own party. Dean was the architect of a "50-State Strategy," investing money and staff in every state - including those where Demo- crats had long fared poorly - to build party infrastructure and lay the groundwork for elector- al gains. The Obama campaign, working with DNC organizers in all 50 states, won several states that had not elected a Democrat- ic president in decades, includ- ing Virginia, North Carolina ar4d Indiana. f State party chairs were general- ly thrilled with Dean's approach, while some Democratic leaders in Washington complained early on that the party's money would be better spent helping candidates who had a real chance of win- ning. The disagreement broke into open warfare in 2006, when Dean clashed over money and strat- egy with New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Illinois Rep. Rahns Emanuel, who ran the party's suc- cessful effort to win back control of Congress. Last week, Emanuel accepted the job of White House chief of staff in an Obama adminT istration. Some of Dean's most vocal detractors were former advisers to President Clinton. They includg strategist James Carville, who once calledDean's leadership attheDNC "almost Rumsfeldian in its incom- petence." During Dean's tenure, Demo- crats regained control of Congress in 2006, and captured the presidegi- cy in 2008 while increasing their numbers in the House and Senate. 0 0 CREATIVE PROCES AN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIO-LECTURE COURSE WINTER 2009-- UARTS --Class #29325 '/ 4 credits, No prerequisites Sati s LSA requirements for Creative Expression Friday -3, School of Art & Design, North Campu Ma g creativity an integral part of students' lives and work. wartsonearth.org/students html ?f3:iiseipiirary t+ mga3:: n d Tease Tactring Iitiative TiIG.cco,0,c3 516~3 3 .e,,:,IO~,.s . .
