Associated Press A sunken red granite tower, part of Cleopatra's palace complex, is loaded onto a truck after being extracted from the Mediterranean Sea off the archaeological eastern harbor of Alexandria, Egypt. Pylon lifted from underwater Monument part of Cleopatra's palace complex ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) Archaeologists last week hoisted a 9-ton temple pylon from the waters of the Mediterranean that was part of the palace complex of the fabled Cleopatra before it became submerged for centuries in the harbor of Alexandria. The pylon, which once stood at the entrance to a temple of Isis, is to be the centerpiece of an ambitious underwater museum planned by Egypt to showcase the sunken city, believed to have been toppled into the sea by earthquakes in the 4th century. Divers and underwater archaeologists used a giant crane and ropes to lift the 9- ton, 7.4-foot-tall pylon, covered with muck and seaweed, out of the murky waters. It was deposited ashore as Egypt's top archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, and other officials watched.

The pylon was part of a sprawling palace from which the Ptolemaic dynasty ruled Egypt and where first century B.C. Queen Cleopatra wooed the Roman general Marc Antony before they committed suicide after their defeat by Augustus Caesar. The temple dedicated to Isis, a pharaonic goddess of fertility and magic, is at least 2,050 years old, but archaeologists believe i it's likely much older. The pylon was cut from a single slab of red granite, quarried in Aswan, some 700 miles to the south, officials said. "The cult of Isis was so powerful, it's no wonder Cleopatra chose to make her the living quarters next to the temple," said coastal geoar- said, chaeologist Jean-Daniel placed Stanley of the Smithsonian's bor National Museum of Natural tant History.

They a are teased by "sconnies," the Wisconsin kids who make up a majority of the student body. The "Coastie Song," featuring students Quincy Harrison and Cliff Grefe rapping about the coastie girls wearing tights, Ugg boots and North Face jackets, quickly became an Internet hit this fall. Tens of thousands of people heard the song on MySpace and saw the video on YouTube, and it's even available on iTunes. While the song has launched their music career, it's done a great deal more on the student campus.

It's raised complaints of anti-Semitism, shed more light on a cultural divide among students and renewed complaints about a long-standing housing policy.

VISA Master Card MEMORIALS his- of For six said Michelle Langer, a sophomore from Milwaukee. Some Jewish students object to the song's references to a "Jewish American Princess" and "My East Coast Jewish honey" who wastes her father's money. Greg Steinberger, executive director of Hillel at UW-Madison, a Jewish group, said it was unseemly for Harrison and Grefe to profit from a song "made to purposely make fun of and hurt their neighbors." Harrison and Grefe, known on campus as Quincy and Beef, say the song was not meant to insult Jews. Harrison said in the song he is flirting with a good-looking coastie whom he wants to get to know better. "If anything, it's complimentary," said the 21-yearold from Bloomington, Ind.

Perla Bernstein, a 21-yearold senior from New York City, said the song is funny, but she worries the term "coastie" has morphed from a good-natured jab to an anti-Semitic slur. "There's so much xenophobia on campus that it's ridiculous," she said. "And it goes both ways." Sophie Bressler, an 18-yearold freshman from Chappaqua, N.Y., said students from Wisconsin unfairly believe she and other out-ofstate students are "spoiled and sheltered." She said some of her friends have been heckled for wearing what's considered coastie garb. As for the song, she said: "I think it's funny, but people get offended by it." Many blame a state law for fueling the divide by giving preference to Wisconsin residents for a limited number of university dorm rooms. That Fred Sales See or Hall.
