A study published Feb. 14 in theJournal o Neuroscience shows thatthe protein biglycan plays an im-

Steven Chizen 14 blames RIPTA or be-ing unable to turn in his history paper.

He can be reached atsteven_chizen@brown.edu.The ride was still worth it.

RIPTAs educational value

It is time or the University to burst the bubble and

become a member o the greater public sphere. For

students, riding the bus is the perect solution.

The logic seems to be that when you like the same song

as everyone else, its too bandwagon or reveals a lack o

true appreciation or good music, when in reality, hal

the appeal o music is sharing and experiencing it with

others.

As th ast NBA gams th rsthal o the season wrap up, andw prpar r th A-Star gam,I would like to point out somethingthat has really bothered me overthe past couple o years. Its alsosmthg that apps t A-Star

game selection. Its a matter o po-stg.

No, really. It is the positions thatbthr m.

I am sur whr basktbarst started to evolve into a renedteam sport, the positions madess. Tr wr t as may taguys, ad thy wr t ry m-b, s ths arag payrs wrmade centers. You had two or-wards wh hug ut th sds.One was smaller than the other,and these guys crashed the glass,shot long twos or whatever else wasrequired o them. Te smaller guywas aptly named the small orward,

and the bigger guy became knownas th pwr rward. T sht-ing guard was a smaller guy whocould stroke the ball, and the pointguard was the ball handler who ranthe oense. Tese two guys mostlyhug ut at th tp th ky.

My problem is that, in todaysgame, an eective team does not

actually unction like this. Tepoint guard and center are ap-propriately cast in this above de-srpt, but that s t. I th tw,thr ad ur spts, tdays NBAgame has evolved past what I havejust described. What separates a

power orward, small orward and

shooting guard? Size, obviously,

but aside rom that, I do not thinkI am going out on a limb when I

say that shooting guards and smallrwards td t k mr sm-lar than small orwards and powerrwards. T days ur prm-tr payrs ar g g, ad tdays gam, yu wat yur urguy to rebound and block beoreyou want him buttering threes. No,aside rom Kevin Love and Ryan

Adrs, wh arady ha thatlow-post stu taken care o, andDirk Nowitzki, who is a ormerleague and Finals MVP, power or-wards are much closer to centers

tha thy ar t sma rwards.By that same token, shooting

guards and small orwards haveboth developed similar roles in a

game hang out on the wings,acilitate passes between the bigmen and the point guard, knock

down open looks and penetratewh yu ha th ha. I yuare a great team, one o these guysis your go-to scorer or they playantastic deense against the othertams tp srr, k Lu Dg,Andre Iguodala or ony Allen lastyar.

My problem with the All-Star

gam s that t draws a bg at

btw th shtg guards adthe small orwards, designatingthem totally dierent positions.Are Joe Johnson and Dwyane Wadereally so dierent rom Paul Pierceand Rudy Gay in play style? Teonly dierence is who is an inch

or two taller and who the otherguys th tam ar. Tat s whyatgrzg payrs A-Star t-ing based on i they are a guard,orward or center is just silly. Iudrstad th A-Star tams aran honorary thing, and we are nottryg t bud ra tams, but t s

All-Star selection incompromising position

Tese results were a reversalrom just three weeks ago, whenthe Bears lost to Harvard (13-10,6-3 Ivy) and sailed past Dartmouth(4-, -7).

A strong deensive showing wasnot enough to overcome Saturdayslow shooting percentages or theBears. Te close game Saturday didt rsmb th tw tams pr-ous matchup, in which the Bearstrampled on the second-to-last team th agu 74-50.
