BULLETINS
SOCIAL
SCIENCE LEADERS: The presidents of three major social science
associations all are Columbia faculty members. Eric Foner
'63 is president of the American Historical Association,
Ken Jackson is president of the Organization of American
Historians and Robert Jervis is president of the American
Political Science Association.
LIONS IN
CYBERSPACE: Columbia's 35-31 loss to Cornell on November 11 was the
first Ivy League football game to be broadcast live (audio and
video) on the Internet and only the second college football
cybercast overall, following the September 2 contest between
Nebraska and San Jose State. Columbia joined with Enertech
Industries, a Texas-based company, to give fans unable to attend
the game at Baker Field the opportunity to catch the game by
logging onto a Web site, www.collegesportcast.com.
The video was provided by a three-man camera crew, similar to a
television broadcast, while the WKCR radiocast was used for the
audio.
FIELD
HOCKEY CHAMPS: Columbia won its first postseason field hockey title
ever when tournament MVP Florencia Battilana '01, an All-Ivy
First Team selection, scored at 28:46 of the second half to give
Columbia a 1-0 triumph over host Dartmouth in the championship game
of the ECAC Tournament on November 12. Molly Starsia-Lasagna
'03 made eight saves to record her second shutout in as many
days, following a 1-0 victory over Georgetown a day earlier. The
field hockey team finished with a record of 13-6, nearly doubling
the program's previous high of seven wins in a season.
GOING THE
DISTANCE: Led by Steve Sundell '04, Caitlin Hickin '04 and
Lauren Harrison '03, Columbia's men's and women's cross
country teams both finished third in the Heptagonal Championships,
then the men placed fourth and the women fifth in the NCAA
Northeast Regionals. Both meets were held at Van Cortlandt Park.
Sundell, whose five-mile time of 25:11.7 in the Heps was the
fastest ever by a Columbia first-year, earned All-Ivy First Team
and All-East honors. Hickin and Harrison both received All-Ivy
Second Team and All-East honors.
TEAM OF
THE CENTURY: Star quarterbacks Sid Luckman '39 and Cliff
Montgomery '34 were among 24 individuals voted to Columbia
Football's Team of the Century by a panel that included sports
historians and journalists. The team was honored at Homecoming
weekend, with a reception on Friday, October 20 and a halftime
ceremony during the win over Dartmouth the next day. They were
joined by fellow quarterbacks Paul Governali '43, Gene Rossides
'49, Claude Benham '57, Archie Roberts '65, Marty Domres '69
and John Witkowski '84, running backs William Morley '02,
Harold Weekes '03, Walter Koppisch '25, Lou Kusserow '49, Russ
Warren '62 and Doug Jackson '76, end Bill Swiacki '48,
wide receivers Don Lewis '84 and Bill Reggio '84,
tight end George Starke '71, defensive end/running back
Marcellus Wiley '97, linebackers Paul Kaliades '73

Werthman '93 and defensive backs Ted Gregory '74 and
Ed Backus '77.

CAMPUS
POLITICS: A pre-election Spectator poll of 246 randomly
selected undergraduates showed 71 percent favored Al Gore
for President, 16 percent were for Ralph Nader and 7 percent
were for George W. Bush, with 2 percent "other" and 4
percent undecided. Also from Spec's Election Supplement, out
of 301 respondents, only four percent could name both Columbia-area
representatives in the House, Jerry Nadler '69 and
Charles Rangel; 92 percent couldn't name either
one.
STUDENT
MOURNED: The University mourns the passing of Per Malloch
'01, who was found dead on November 1, 2000 in his room on
West 114th Street. A visual arts student, Malloch had returned to
the College in September 2000 after spending a year in Seattle.
Although as of press time the cause of death had not been
determined, University officials report that there is no reason to
suspect foul play.
