Sen. Bob Dvorsky, D-Iowa, sent an e- mail to the state Board of Regents two days before its June 9 meeting, urging the board to require project labor agreements on all future construction projects of more than $25 million. Regent President David Miles said the regents would not adopt any broad policy CHARLIE ANDERSON/THE DAILY IOWAN on the agreements, but Omar Watson eats a turkey wrap at the Wetherby Park Pavilion on Tuesday.

Kathy Bassett has served as a mentor to Admissions staff, colleagues say. By ALEX KLINE [email protected]

Kathy Bassett has sat in a lot of different offices around the UI campus. But today, she’s concerned with the office she’ll soon vacate: the one inside the Admis- sions Visitor Center in the Pomerantz Center. Bassett, the senior asso- ciate director of Admis- sions, will retire at the end of the month. So rightfully, she is overwhelmed with the mess of papers and files she says need her atten- tion. “Retirement is bitter- sweet,” she said. “You know you’re going to be happy to do it, but it’s just sad to leave people.” The 61-year-old has been CHARLIE ANDERSON/THE DAILY IOWAN with the UI for slightly Kathy Bassett sits in her Pomerantz Center office on Tuesday.

In snapping Atlanta’s five- game winning streak, the White Sox won for the 11th time in 12 games. They improved to 35-34 — the first time they have been over .500 since they were 1-0. Chicago had 13 of its sea- son-high 16 hits during 2 Hanson’s 3 ⁄3 innings. The first 10 were singles before Carlos Quentin’s three-run homer put the White Sox up 9-3 in the fourth.

The slate will see the Hawkeyes play seven reg- ular-season games at home. The Hawkeyes will face Illinois-Springfield in an exhi- bition at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Nov. 7. Iowa will open its regular season slate with a home game against South Dakota State on Nov. 14, then play Louisiana-Monroe two days later. First-year head coach Fran McCaffery’s squad will travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands to participate in the 2010 Paradise Jam tourna- ment in St. Thomas, where the Hawkeyes will first play DAVID SCRIVNER/THE DAILY IOWAN Xavier on Nov. 19.
