HAWKEYE SWIMMING PRIME TIME LEAGUE Swimmers, divers earn academic honors Wiese/Highland clinches No. 1 seed The Hawkeye men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams made a splash in the classroom on Wednesday. Both teams earned Academic All-American team status; the men’s team was recognized for its grade-point-average of 2.90, and the women’s team had a 3.23. Senior Nancilea Underwood separated herself from the pack yet again. After becoming an All- American in the 1- and 3-meter dives at the national meet, she earned individual Academic All- American honors with a 3.64 GPA. Swimmers need to qualify for the NCAA championships and have a GPA of 3.5 or higher to achieve Academic All- American. The women’s team also fea- tured four honorable mention Academic All-Americans. Seniors Katie Martin (3.77) and Karen Kelly (3.76), as well as junior Robin Samples (3.53) and freshman Chelsea Hoff (3.52) were rewarded for their work in the classroom. Honorable-men- tion nominees must compile a GPA of at least 3.5 and qualify for the NCAA “B” benchmark. — by Matt Becker HAWKEYE BASEBALL

BY JILL BOCKES THE DAILY IOWAN On assignment in the newly completed Art Building a month ago, I spied a short, dapper gentleman in a blue-and-white- striped golf cap, toting a cane as he exited a classroom. After probing him for insight on the rust- hued, angular structure, I asked him to spell his last name. B-O-C-K-E-S, he dictated. Astonished to learn we shared the sur- name, I asked if we were related. Never before had I met anyone, outside my imme- diate family, who shared the German name. With considerable effort, we pieced together the connection — my grandfather was a dis- tant cousin of his. To randomly discover a relative, especially one attending the same university and interested in the same classes — art history and English — was shocking. Despite the 60-odd years separating us in age, we seemed to have a lot in common. I immedi- ately called my mom and told her about the extraordinary coincidence. Bernard Bock- es was some sort of writer, a poet, she thought. I had to find out more. With his permission, I planned to follow him to his advanced nonfiction writing class. “I’m an outsider, too,” contributed the 81- year-old UI junior during an in-class discus- sion on the memoir The Outsider: A Journey Into My Father’s Struggle With Madness. Indeed, the World War II veteran is more than half a century older than the students with whom he shares an intimate classroom discussion table twice a week. He even has several decades of wisdom over on the pro- fessor. “I’m an old man fulfilling a long-desired goal,” he said. “I’m here to become a man
