Texas heartbreak Minnesota got a final boost with Rhys Lloyd's 42-yard field goal to win the 2003 Sun Bowl, 31-30 By Hank Hager Sports Editor EL PASO, Texas — The game of inches came down to a matter of feet. After a number of record-setting performances, the 2003 Sun Bowl came down to a field goal. A field goal that was said to be tipped by both Keith Lewis and Junior Siavii. A field goal, much less, that cleared the uprights by no more than a few feet. Rhys Lloyd's 42-yard field goal with 23 seconds left catapulted Min nesota to a 31-30 victory over Oregon Wednesday in front of 49,894 at Sun Bowl Stadium.

Turn to PROFESSOR, page 3 3,000 lose power throughout area after snowy week University Housing officials say more than 20 students in Barnhart and Riley halls were affected by Thursday’s brownout By Jared Paben Senior News Reporter Nearly 12 inches of snow fell on Eugene last week, snapping tree limbs, damaging power lines and knocking out electricity for thou sands of area residents, according to a press release from the Eugene Water and Electric Board. Lance Robertson, spokesman for EWEB, said most outages were concentrated in the south hills and north River Road areas, adding that a total of3,000 EWEB customers were without power. In the campus area, residents of HP. Barnhart 1 lall and Riley Hall reported a brownout — a power reduction that cut out heat, hot wa ter and most electronic appliances — at approximately 8 a.m. Thurs day, said Mike Eyster, director of University 1 lousing. Only the lights worked during the brownout, and crews restored full power to the building at midnight. By 10 a.m. the next morning, the hot water was also restored. "I'm sure that some people were cold," Eyster said, adding that there were only 15 residents in Barnhart Hall and eight in Riley Hall at the time of the outages. "About all we can do in a case like that is provide blankets to people who request them. To my knowledge, nobody requested any blankets. We did a lot better than some of the houses in Eugene." Robertson explained that lines damaged by falling limbs take longer to repair than transformers damaged by lightning, a more common cause of outages in Eugene. Every year there are typically outages affecting 1,000 to 3,000 EWEB customers, usually caused by lightning. The last "huge" out age occurred during a storm in February 2002, when 30,000 cus tomers were without power for up to six days, Robertson said. "Whenever a tree or big limb falls across a power line it not only is dangerous, but it can take a long time to repair," he said. According to the press release, all major power restorations were completed Saturday night. "We're hoping the weather holds (while we restore power)," Robertson said. "If we get another storm, we could be going the other way." Wunderground.com, a comprehensive weather Web site, predicts it will snow this morning with temperatures in the 20s, which should turn to rain this afternoon and tonight as temperatures rise to the 30s.
