Such is the case with some University students, who failed to receive their U-Passes BREAK FAST: THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY on time, or at all. Junior Kelly Hunt, for exam- ple, was one of the unfortunate students who never received her U-Pass in the mail last year. “I love going downtown, and I have a job that would be really convenient to get to using the Metro,” said Hunt. “I was just frustrated because I had to bor- row U-Passes from my friends. I never touched it and I don’t have $25 to spend on a metro pass that should be free.” The registration Web site for Parking and Transportation Ser- vices features a disclaimer warn- ing about such cases. The offi ce cannot guarantee delivery of the pass by mail and if the pass is lost or stolen, students will have to pay $25 to replace it. Howev- er, Lisa Underwood, director of Parking and Transportation Ser- vices, noted that not receiving the U-Pass was a rare situation for University students. “Out of the 8,024 students who requested a U-Pass this se- mester, only four students have complained about not receiving their pass in the mail and had to pay the $25 fee,” said Under- wood. Jennifer Gross, a junior, goes to a lab at the Medical School three times a week, making the U-Pass important to her weekly schedule. For her, having to get a new U-Pass every semester is a major inconvenience. “I didn’t even realize I hadn’t received my fall pass until I was asked to show my U-Pass and all I had was my summer one,” said Gross. “The U-Pass is defi nitely a SAM GUZIK | STUDENT LIFE great idea.

BY JOSHUA GOLDMAN SPORTS REPORTER

Maybe all is not lost. Last week, Washington Universi- ty’s football team suffered a complete blowout, falling to 10th-ranked Wheaton College 55-14. This week, the Bears came from behind to defeat No. 14 North Central 16-13 in Naperville, Ill. “This week’s win has noth- ing to do with last week’s loss. We just went out and played,” said senior captain Mike El- liot. The Bears went into the locker room at halftime trail- ing 10-0, but a dominant sec- ond half gave WU a 16-13 win. The win was Wash. U.’s fi rst win against the Cardinals in four meetings and their fi rst win against a ranked team since 2001, when the Bears defeated Albion College 17-7. The Bears marched down the fi eld to open the third quarter, capping a 6:48 drive with a Matt Glenn touchdown run from a yard out. The 81 yard drive made the score 10- 6 and began a half dominated by the Red and Green. Wash. U. held the ball for 18 of the 30 minutes in the second half en route to their comeback. With Wash. U. down 13- 9 at the 7:38 mark, quar- terback Buck Smith led the Bears downfi eld to the North Central 22. However, four straight incompletions gave North Central the ball with a chance to put away the game. Instead of running on second LIONEL SOBEHART | STUDENT LIFE and eight, quarterback Kyle Running Back Matt Glen pushes past the Wheaton defenders during the September 15 game against Wheaton College.
