    UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis. MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 For Immediate Release Mar. 20, 1995 Eleven Golden Gophers Qualify For NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships University of Minnesota head coach Dennis Dale will take 11 swimmers and divers with him to this week's NCAA men's champi­ onships in Indianapolis. Heading the list is diver P.J. Bogart (Jr., Mesa, Ariz.), who earned Big Ten titles in three diving events a month ago. The junior won the national title on the 10-meter platform as a freshman in 1993. Other 1995 Big Ten champs who will be competing for the Gophers include Derek Williams (Jr., Lansdale, Pa.) and Paul Domer (Sr., Eau Claire, Wis.). Williams, who set a new Big Ten record in the 100 fly, has qualified for the national meet in that event as well as the 50 free and the 200 fly. Domer, the conference winner in the 200 breast, will compete in that event as well as the 100 breast at the national meet. Other top contenders for Minnesota include Bernie Zeruhn (Jr., Hamburg, Germany) in the 200 free and Manolis Lentaris (Fr., Rania, Crete, Greece) in the 500 free. In addition to the 11 individual qualifiers, all five Golden Gopher relay teams have qualified for the national championships. A year ago Minnesota finished seventh at the national meet when it was held at the U of M Aquatic Center. The Golden Gophers are currently ranked ninth in the country according to the most recent (3/9/95) national poll.

  • Golden Gopher Baseball Team Ranked 26Th in Baseball America's Preseason National Poll
    UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 For Immediate Release January 22, 1998 GOLDEN GOPHER BASEBALL TEAM RANKED 26TH IN BASEBALL AMERICA'S PRESEASON NATIONAL POLL The University of Minnesota baseball team is ranked 26th in Baseball America's preseason national rankings. The Golden Gophers are the highest-rated Big Ten team, ahead of Illinois (36th) and Ohio State (43rd). Baseball America also selected senior Robb Quinlan as its preseason Big Ten player of the year and junior left-hander Ben Birk as its preseason Big Ten pitcher of the year. Quinlan set single-season school records with 24 home runs, 97 hits, 87 runs scored and 188 total bases in 1998 en route to earning first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-America honors. The Maplewood, Minn., native is already the school's career leader in total bases and is poised to set new school records in hits, home runs, runs scored, at-bats and slugging percentage. Birk, also cited as the publication's top major league prospect in the conference, finished 8-2 with a 2.65 ERA as he earned third-team All-Big Ten honors. After missing the first month of the Big Ten season with a shoulder injury, the St. Paul, Minn., native came back to post a 4-0 league record with a 0.34 ERA The Golden Gophers return 15 of 18 letterwinners from a team that finished 45-15 with a Big Ten Tournament championship and a bid to the NCAA Baseball Tournament.

  • Why Are the Twin Cities So Segregated?
    Why Are the Twin Cities So Segregated? February, 2015 Executive Summary Why are the Twin Cities so segregated? The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area is known for its progressive politics and forward-thinking approach to regional planning, but these features have not prevented the formation of the some of the nation’s widest racial disparities, and the nation’s worst segregation in a predominantly white area. On measures of educational and residential integration, the Twin Cities region has rapidly diverged from other regions with similar demographics, such as Portland or Seattle. Since the start of the twenty-first century, the number of severely segregated schools in the Twin Cities area has increased more than seven- fold; the population of segregated, high-poverty neighborhoods has tripled. The concentration of black families in low-income areas has grown for over a decade; in Portland and Seattle, it has declined. In 2010, the region had 83 schools made up of 90 percent nonwhite students. Portland had two. The following report explains this paradox. In doing so, it broadly describes the history and structure of two growing industry pressure groups within the Twin Cities political scene: the poverty housing industry (PHI) and the poverty education complex (PEC). It shows how these powerful special interests have worked with local, regional, and state government to preserve the segregated status quo, and in the process have undermined school integration and sabotaged the nation’s most effective regional housing integration program and. Finally, in what should serve as a call to action on civil rights, this report demonstrates how even moderate efforts to achieve racial integration could have dramatically reduced regional segregation and the associated racial disparities.
