First lady donates red suit
Associated Press NEW YORK - First lady Laura Bush lent a crimson silk and taffeta suit Monday to a collection of red dresses being used to highlight an educa tional campaign on women's heart disease. Bush wore the suit as she joined its designer, Oscar de Ia Renta, at Fashion Week, which began Friday in tents set up in a midtown park for designers to preview their clothes for next fall. The suit, which Bush has worn to meetings with heads of state including former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, will be added to a col lection that will be shown in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Diego in March and April. The tour will also provide health screening and information on heart dis ease. "Nothing attracts attention like a red dress, so designers have united to bring attention to heart disease with these beautiful dresses," said Bush. The suit will join strappy gowns, jeweled frocks and eye-popping mini-dresses cre ated by 26 designers, includ ing Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg and Ralph Lauren. "Fashion Week is about see ing great beauty on the out side," said Fern Mallis, who oversees the weeklong event, "but we all know that being healthy on the inside is what matters most." Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women; 366,000 women died from it in 2000, according to the National Heart. Lung and Blood Institute, which is promoting the awareness campaign. By comparison, 42,000 women died from breast cancer that year. THE OBSER\'ER p page 10 Tuesday, February 10 2004 THE OBSERVER Believing in a thing called love P.O.

MEN'S SWIMMING Hall looks towards Olympics Associated Press ISLAMORADA, Fla. - Six months from now, his body must be ready, his mind rested, his stroke at its sharpest. That is why Gary Hall Jr. isn't overly concerned about win ning or losing at the U.S. Spring National Championships, which open in Orlando on Tuesday. His thoughts are on the Athens Olympics, where he can become the most decorated American men's swimmer in history. This prospect once seemed farfetched. Should he match the four medals he won in Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney four years ago, he'd have 12 - one more than Mark Spitz and Matt Biondi. That provides far more moti vation than a U.S. national meet certain to be forgotten in an Olympic year. "I use meets like this as a barometer of where I am with my training," Hall said. "I've climbed Mount Olympus twice now. I know the path I have to take. I could swim really fast at nationals, but it's going to be detrimental to my performance at the Olympic trials and Olympic Games." The Spring Nationals run through Saturday, featuring more than 1,000 swimmers, ranging in age from 12 to 42. Hall is entered in the 50- meter freestyle, his premier event and one where he's the Olympic champion, plus the 100-meter free. Among those expected to compete at one of the major tuneups for the Olympic trials at Long Beach, Calif., in July are 2000 gold medalists Lenny Krazelburg. Michael Phelps, Tom Malchow, Brooke Bennett, Misty Hyman, Diana Munz, Lindsay Benko and Courtney Shealy. OUNDTHE AT ION page 18 Tuesday, February 10, 2004 NCAA FOOTBALL ...

But . . two weeks ago when he took the mound against live batters, I Manship said his arm tightened up again. After an MRI, doctors determined that he would need the surgery. Tommy John surgery has occurred more frequently with professional and collegiate pitchers in the last several years. The surgery involves removing a tendon from anoth er part of the body and attach ing it to the elbow to function as a ligament. The recovery time is usually one year and, according to Mainieri, the play er can even come back stronger and healthier than before the surgery. "There's no question in my mind Jeff has the mental tough ness and the desire, and he will do everything he can do to get himself back to being healthy and strong," Mainieri said. Manship is a two-time high school All-American, who went 22-2 with a 0.65 earned run average in his final two sea sons. He had almost an 8-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio and allowed just 2.2 walks per nine innings in 2002 and 2003. The Irish are now without two of their top pitchers. Manship joins Axford on the injured list and both pitchers were expected to see significant innings this season - likely in the starting rotation. Mainieri said he needs his other pitchers to improve their game to help Notre Dame have success this season. "With Jeff and John Axford now both out, other kids are getting a chance to step up and they need to take advantage of it," Mainieri said. Mainieri has never seen this many players on one team need "Tommy John" surgery in such a short period of time.
