By Scott Ferrell The Times With two losses in their last three games, the LSU Tigers find themselves among the Southeastern Conference teams under consideration by the MainStay Independence Bowl. "I'd say they are in play," I-Bowl Executive Director Glen Krupica said Sunday. The bowl, which has a shared sixth selection of bowl-eligible SEC teams, will have representatives at the Ole Miss-LSU game Saturday in Baton Rouge. Both LSU (7-3) and Ole Miss (5-5) are among SEC teams the I-Bowl is considering for invitation to the Dec.
27 game at Independence Stadium. LSU is already bowl eligible while Ole Miss needs to win one of its final two 7-3 and have won four consecutive games. Krupica said the Razorbacks haven't played their way out of the I-Bowl picture yet. "Having the understanding of what some of the other guys' preferences are that choose in front of us, I think is still in the middle of it," Krupica said. On the Big 12 side of the Independence Bowl matchup, Nebraska remains the I-Bowl's favorite for selection despite a 49-13 loss to Kansas State on Saturday.
The I-Bowl has the fifth selection among bowl-eligible Big 12 teams. "I think we all wish they had played a little better and been more competitive," Krupica said. "After going up there and being around their fans and their people, I think they'll still show well to whatever bowl game they go to. We'd still like to have them." pa.

Effective Jan. 1, Caddo Animal and Mosquito Control will become Caddo Animal Services and Mosquito Control, according to an ordinance adopted this month by the Parish Commission. It's a minor change but one of many designed to improve community relations and overall operations of the shelter, parish officials said. "We felt the name would better suit what we do," said shelter Director Trey McMillan.
"We're not just doing control, but also adoptions, rescues, limited veterinarian care on some ani mals. The new name suits us better." Perhaps the most significant change in store is the appoi nt- McMillan ment of a seven-member Animal Services Board to address complaints and operational issues at the parish-run facility.

The 74-year-old Swedish diplomat said inspectors would be taking along much more sophisticated equipment than was available when the inspection program was suspended in December 1998. "We do of course expect to get tips from the (U.N.) member states," Blix said.
"We also have modern equipment that is superior to what we had in the past. But we would like the Iraqis to declare, and this is an opportunity for them to do so and we hope that they will seize that opportunity."
