Welfare use more common than many think Many Americans believe that welfare use happens to someone else, to people outside of mainstream society. But a study published in a recent issue of Social Work casts considerable doubt on that notion, finding that nearly two-thirds of all Americans between 20 and 65 will at some point turn to a public assistance program.

				Football, women's soccer, cross country previews File photo Two-time first-team all University Athletic Association middle linebacker Brandon Roberts (39) is a top returner for the Bears, who open their season with a 4 p.m. home matchup Sept. 7 against Simpson College. The football team returns 12 starters -- eight on offense -- and 63 letter-winners as it looks for back-to-back eight-win seasons for the first time in club history. The Bears are also looking for a second-straight University Athletic Association title. The entire offensive line returns, including all-UAA honorees Tim Gronewold, Josh Clark and Mike Lajczok. Just four starters return on defense, including two-time first-team all-UAA middle linebacker Brandon Roberts. The biggest question for the team will be in the defensive secondary, where seven seniors and all four starters need to be replaced. First-year coach Wendy Dillinger is looking to jump start a women's soccer team that finished 7-7-3 last year, the first time in seven seasons the Red and Green failed to finish above .500. She has plenty to work with, though, as seven starters return to a club with just one senior. That lone senior is Megan Drews, who tallied 11 points on four goals and three assists in six games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Both the men's and women's cross country teams return a strong contingent of runners for the 2002 season. The men are looking for an unprecedented fourth-straight UAA title and are led by senior Bryan Tilton and junior Matt Hoelle. Both earned second-team all-UAA honors a season ago. Juniors Mindy Kuhl and Emily Lahowetz, both first-team all-UAA returnees, lead a women's team that finished third at the UAA Championships and advanced to the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive season.
