s needed for the program to even begin to be compe titive, and that list has now largely been elimina ted,” said Mike Griffin, who was an assistant athl etic director from 1996 to 2004. And the endless losing seasons, combined with thes e recent advances, creates a sort of job security, where a handful of victories would be a major suc cess and losses would not create undue pressure. “There’s a certain hope-springs-eternal quality wi thin the job,” said Jim McMenemin, the director of principal gifts and senior adviser to the dean of the college. “This is particularly true now, as u niversity leadership is fully behind the football program being successful and believes it to be com patible with the academic and intellectual culture of the university.” Murphy acknowledged the futility of Columbia footb all, pointing out that it had only five winning se asons since 1956. She disputed, though, the charac terization of Columbia as apathetic toward footbal l. As an example — one she said she was disappoint ed to see — she said Wilson’s wife had been subjec ted to rude comments from angry fans at recent hom e games. She believes steadfastly that football is a core e lement of the college experience, even in New York . Murphy said in the past she had been “naive” about the influence of the city on the job, discounting such factors like the cost of living and where a coach would send his children to school. Now, she said, the city was one of her strongest selling po ints and that a candidate’s enthusiasm for it woul d be a primary concern as she looks to hire a coac h before a self-imposed Dec. 15 deadline. “There’s nothing like New York,” Murphy said. “And

By CHRISTINE HAUGHNEY A sleep researcher, with the aid of a drowsy strap hanger, set out to discover whether dozing undergr ound was worth its while. ===== notyet A ride on the New York subway can be a sensory ove rload: musicians perform for change; conductors pl ead to those who hold open train doors to relent; and passengers, often in unimaginably close proxim ity, subject one another to all sorts of sights, s ounds, smells and touches, preferably inadvertent. Amid all of that, some New Yorkers nevertheless ma nage to fall asleep. Seats are found, trains begin their rhythmic rattles of movement, and eyelids f lutter closed. Gritted jaws loosen, furrowed brows release and heads nod. People outside of New York may wonder how in a cit y that never sleeps, so many New Yorkers manage to doze on the subway. There is no law against it, b ut those who take subway catnaps do so at their ow n risk; a recent Metropolitan Transportation Autho rity committee meeting featured a presentation on how criminals seeking iPhones slice open the pocke ts of dozing passengers. So are these naps really worth the trouble? Dr. Carl Bazil, director of the Epilepsy and Sleep Division at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columb ia University Medical Center, offered to try to fi nd out.
