Before his first season at Columbia began in 2006, coach Norries Wilson offered a bold prediction in an interview with Columbia College Today. "We will not win the Ivy League championship," he said. "I'm guaranteeing that." The words proved prescient, as the Lions stumbled to a 2-5 conference mark.

While the rest of the Penn field hockey team was finishing up against Lafayette last night, midfielder Sarah Warner was in a hospital, getting stitches after picking up a knock earlier in the game. Adding insult to injury, Penn was beaten on the scoreboard, 2-0, extending its losing streak to five.

Cornell football will have a new look this year - literally. Coach Jim Knowles removed the "C" from the players' helmets in an effort to improve their effort and dedication.

Bring youth to the City of Brotherly Love

In a city suffering a population decline, some organizations are trying to share the Brotherly Love. Philadelphia's population decline from 2000 to 2007 was second only to New Orleans among major U.S. cities, with job losses and economic issues taking the blame.

Right now, Penn isn't the only Ivy League team that has more questions than answers at quarterback. Yale does, too. But the Bulldogs, who last year were the league champions right up until they weren't, won't have much experience under center no matter who gets the nod.

Felicity Paxton, the former assistant director of the Penn Women's Center, became the new director on Sept. 1. She also serves as the Faculty Fellow for Stouffer College House and is an adjunct professor in the English, Communications and Women's Studies Departments.

He hosts his own show at prime time on CNN, his book topped The New York Times bestseller list, and he has received the Emmy Award four times. And now, Anderson Cooper, a member of the "best political team on TV" will follow the footsteps of his fellow - if less serious - newsman, Stephen Colbert

He is a leader on Villanova's defense and one of the team's best all-around athletes, but Salim Koroma is no stranger to being overshadowed. The Wildcats' senior cornerback is only the second-best defensive back to ever play in his family - his uncle Gibril Wilson is now the Oakland Raiders' starting free safety and the owner of a New York Giants' Super Bowl ring.

Just two years ago, Princeton was the team to beat in the Ivy League. But while four starters from that 2006 Ivy League Championship team are still around to guide the Tigers' 2008 campaign, Princeton will need stronger defensive play to regain elite status in the Ancient Eight.

Awareness. It's being raised all around you, all the time, and seldom with your consent. Studies have shown that even simple acts such as waking up in the morning or walking down Locust may increase your awareness to near-toxic levels. So it's with a sincere apology that I attempt to raise awareness about everyone's favorite substance that is processed using a combination of heat and water and is subsequently smoked.


USTA Intercollegiate Competition | Boym serves for redemption

The new face of CPR

DVDs and blow-up dolls from the American Heart Association may soon save lives on campus. Part of a take-home kit, these tools can teach anyone - regardless of medical background - how to perform CPR through a 22-minute hands-on video tutorial. Efforts at getting these kits subsidized and available to students have been pioneered by College senior Kirk Lozada and Benjamin Abella, clinical research director for Penn's Center for Resuscitation Science.

On the first possession of its second game of 2007, Brown lost tailback Dereck Knight to a foot injury. He had run for 208 yards on Opening Day, but that misstep put Knight out of commission for the rest of the year. With him went any semblance of a running game.

Last year, Harvard's football team lost just two games - one on a 40-yard pass with 19 seconds remaining to Holy Cross, the other on a fumble return for a touchdown with 30 seconds left against Lehigh. In the Ivy League, the Crimson rolled to six straight victories, setting the stage for an epic matchup with 9-0 and 11th-ranked Yale to determine the 2007 Ancient Eight champion.

In February, athletic director Steve Bilsky became the first prominent Ivy League official to speak out against financial-aid competition among the conference schools, which he believes could give some a serious leg up on recruiting and relegate others - the poorer ones, to be blunt - to a second tier.

They've come from all over the country: New York, New York, California, New York, Maryland, New York, New York, Colorado and . New York. Although they've just arrived on campus, the men's lacrosse team's newest members should fit right in at Franklin Field - four of the nine played with either their fellow recruits or current Penn players in high school.
