Since then, UW has strung together a 14-game win streak at , the longest active streak in the Pac-10. Nebraska has the longest current Division I streak at 23 games following last Saturday’s victory against Troy State. Washington’s current record for a home win streak at Husky Stadium is 17 games, set between 1991 and 1993. With the next five games all home contests, Washington has a chance to better that mark before it returns to the road. The Pac-10 record for home wins was set by at 26 games during the 1919-1923 seasons. Pac-10 football history dates back to the 1916 season. Washington actually has a much longer home win streak of 44 straight games from 1908 to 1917, but those contests were played at the old site on campus. That streak was ended by a 0-0 tie with Oregon State in 1917, but Washington went on to win six more home Marquis Cooper came off the bench against Michigan to lead all games after that, extending their home unbeaten streak to 51 games.

One of Neuheisel’s goals for the season is to get the Huskies’ run- ning game back on track. Last year the team managed a meager 2.9 yards per carry behind an offensive line that included four newcom- ers. Last week against Michigan the Huskies showed some signs of improvement. Junior tailback Rich Alexis gained 98 yards on 28 car- ries against a Wolverine defense that led the NCAA in rushing defense in 2001. San Jose State was at the other end of the statistical rankings last year. The Spartans allowed 204 rushing yards per game and 296.8 passing yards per contest to rank last in the national standings. In their season-opening road win against Arkansas State, the Spartans showed new life in their defense. San Jose State managed three interceptions and two fumble recoveries to help defeat Arkansas State 33-14. The defense accounted for two touchdowns and held the Indians to 288 total yards, 212 below the average they allowed in 2001. Offensively, the Spartans were hampered by three fumbles and an interception. Quarterback , making his first start, com- pleted 17 of 34 attempts for 174 yards.

ook up Anthony Kelley’s name in a dictionary and you might find this: Kelley, Anthony (KELL-ee, AN-thuh-NEE), n. 1. See Student-Athlete. Even if you don’t find the Husky in the pages of your Merriam-Webster, you shouldn’t hesitate to think of Kelley as the synthesis of academics and athletics. On the field, Kelley has been an important play- er in the Dawgs’ vaunted linebacking corps, start- ing 36 games in three seasons while racking up 71 tackles — including 14 for a loss — and six sacks. The Altadena, Calif., native’s knack for mak- ing the big play earned him two single-game defen- sive MVP awards in 2000, when Washington went 11-1 and defeated Purdue in the 2001 . As formidable as he may seem on the field, Kelley is a gargantuan force off of it. For the past two winters, the linebacker has traveled to South Africa, studying and working with the people of the impover- ished township of Guguletu. Kelley’s work with a chil- dren’s dance troupe, the Ipintombi Dancers, has even caught the attention of Bishop Desmond Tutu, who has helped Kelley share his Anthony Kelley experiences with the greater pened in the classroom.

In the fall of 2000, Kelley applied for and received the Mary Gates Scholarship, a prestigious endow- ment reserved for only the brightest and most creative students. Unsure what to do with the funds, Kelley decided to pursue his study of the comparative history of ideas in Capetown, South Africa.

Husky football fans and casual sports followers alike have quickly embraced Neuheisel for the spark he has added to Washington’s sto- ried football tradition. As a public speaker, he is in high demand. Neuheisel has spoken at numerous fundraising events and generated lofty contributions with his charismatic speeches and penchant for innovative fundraising ideas. Neuheisel took over the Washington program in January of 1999 after serving as the head football coach at Colorado from 1995 to 1998. His seven-year coaching record now stands at 59-24 (.711). Washington is the second head coaching position for the 41-year old Neuheisel, who spent seven seasons as an assistant coach prior to securing the Colorado job. He worked six years at his alma mater, UCLA, under his college coach , and was an assistant coach for one season on Bill McCartney’s staff in Boulder. He was named the head coach at Colorado on Nov. 29, 1994. At Colorado, Neuheisel compiled a 33-14 (.702) record and was 3-0 in postseason bowl games. All three of his bowl games were against Pac-10 Conference opponents.

an Jose State University, Silicon Valley’s metropolitan university, is pre-eminent in broadly educating leaders and professionals for San increasingly complex and global society. Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, this university has aided the development of the computer industry and the resulting technolog- ical advances in our nation by providing the largest source of engi- neering, science and business graduates to SIlicon Valley companies. Graduating about 6,000 students annually, San Jose State University also provides the professional infrastructure for the region - from teachers to social workers to artists to law enforcement officers to nurses. The terms, “leaders and professionals,” describe not just the types of graduates who their degrees at San Jose State, but also the roles they assume in their communities and in their fields of endeavor. San Jose State University’s place in history is well-established. Founded in 1857, it was the first public institution of higher education on the West Coast. From its humble beginnings as a normal school to train teachers for the developing frontier, it has matured into a mas- ter’s university offering 191 bachelor’s and master’s degrees. The university’s 27,000 students study in eight fully accredited col- leges: Applied Sciences and the Arts, Business, Education, Engineering, Humanities and the Arts, Science, Social Sciences and Social Work. One strength of the academic program is the broad general education curriculum that brings common elements — critical thinking, writing and communication skills, and cultural pluralism — to diverse stud- ies. Academic strength also is seen in the university’s nationally-recog- nized programs. Examples include the School of Music, the School of Art and Design, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, the School of Nursing and the School of Library and Information Science. In each discipline, quality teaching remains a priority. Tenured fac- ulty teach introductory as well as advanced courses with an emphasis on small classes. Learning facilities include computer-equipped class- An ivy-covered building on the campus of San Jose State University. rooms, the Western world’s only undergraduate nuclear science facili- ty and North America’s largest Beethoven Center.

San Jose State University also finds strength in its diver- sity. For many first-generation students, it is a gateway to economic independence and social mobility. It is also an incubator of cultural and intellectual development and an opportunity for lifelong learning.

Out of the deepening dusk swoops Husky safety Owen Biddle, drilling ASU’s Mike Williams behind the line of scrimmage for a loss of two yards. Later, it’s Biddle again, this time stopping talented tailback Delvon AAFlowers in his tracks at the line of scrimmage, a scene re- enacted throughout the Huskies’ 33-31 win. In fact, Biddle would finish the contest with a team-lead- ing 11 tackles — including one for a loss — to earn a golden helmet as Defensive Player of Game. “Coach [Tim] Hundley, the defensive coordinator, just kept calling all the right plays,” Biddle says, “and I just hap- pened to be in all the right places.” The honor of being named player of the game was spe- cial for the third-year safety. “I consider it my biggest achievement on the field,” says Biddle, who at 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds gives up inches to opposing receivers, and pounds to opposing running backs. “I used to look at the people that got Player of the Game and I think, ‘wow, these guys are awesome.’ Then I only started four games last year and won it once.” Biddle’s ascension to Player of the Game status is even more impressive considering that just two seasons ago the Bellevue, Wash., native was a little-known walk-on, forced to put in the same hours of practice, workout and playbook study as scholarship athletes, but without the benefits of academic counseling, daily meals, and paid-for housing afforded those receiving financial assistance. After redshirting the 1999 season, Biddle saw his first playing time in the Huskies’ season-opening win over Idaho in 2000, making one tackle.

ounded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its Fresearch, instructional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con- tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contract activity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni- versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys- tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offering instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a spectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro- fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich- ment. Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and Urban Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The Information School, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, Public Affairs, Public Health and Community Medicine, and Social Work. The magnificent architecture of the Washington campus is replete About 90 percent of the University’s undergraduate students are state with fountains, flowers and greenery. residents, although instructional programs draw students from every region of the country and overseas. school graduating classes.

Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong eco- nomic impact on Washington and the . With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the second- largest employer in King County. Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpa- tient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new busi- ness to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well-educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways.

HUSKIES Gameday 53 HUSKY PROFILE / PAIGE BENJAMIN

by Lisa Krikava

wenty-five years ago, Seattle was treated to the Benjamin and Benjamin show. Husband Tony Benjamin was a running back for the Seattle Seahawks, while wife Krista was herself a competitive volleyball player. Today, the city once again finds itself overflowing in athletic Benjamins. Evan, the only son of Tony and Krista, will compete for playing time at safety for the Huskies this fall, while daughter Paige has emerged as a bonafide star for Washington’s up-and-coming volleyball squad. “My mom claims that I got all of my volleyball talent from her,” says the 5-foot-10 Paige. “Having seen my dad play volleyball, I think that’s probably true.” Not only is Benjamin a natural athlete, but she excels in school as well. An accounting major, Benjamin carries a 3.88 grade point average, and has been named to the Pac-10’s Academic All-Conference and Verizon Academic All-District squads for two years running. It’s one thing to be blessed with good genes; it’s another thing to maxi- mize that talent. In 2001, Benjamin was second on the team in kills, averag- ing 2.90 per game, while hitting at a .290 clip and averaging 0.91 blocks per game. Then a junior, Benjamin notched career highs with 54 attacks in a match against Oregon State, and five aces to help defeat Purdue. Benjamin’s hitting percentage of .293, second among Husky regulars last season, improved her career mark to .288, third-best all- time at UW. Benjamin’s personal success in 2001, however, did not translate directly to wins for the Huskies. Having met their new head coach, Jim McLaughlin, for the first time just two weeks prior to the season, the team spent much of the season Benjamin hopes to lead a hungry Husky squad back into adjusting to McLaughlin’s system. contention in the always-tough Pac-10 Conference.

Gallucci has studied shark population dynamics for more than a decade, the last two years in Alaska. In the last two years of work in Prince William Sound, Gallucci says six salmon sharks an hour could be caught during certain times of day. And sometimes, lines were in the water less than two minutes before a salmon shark bit. Meanwhile the number of Pacific sleeper sharks encountered by halibut fishing vessels has increased every year since 1997, more than doubling, according to a database made avail- able to Gallucci by the Pacific Halibut Commission.

With the opening of the Husky Fever Hall of Fame in the west end of the remodeled Bank of America Arena, Washington fans will get to do just that. “Husky fans are going to be thrilled when they walk in the door,” says Athletic Director Barbara Hedges. “They will see things they’ve never seen before.

This fall, 650 student athletes will don the purple and gold and compete for the Huskies on 21 Hteams. The cost to recruit and retain world class student-athletes is high. In 2001-2002, Husky supporters invested $5 million in student-athlete scholarships. With the recent 16 percent increase in tuition, that figure will increase by $400,000 this year.
