Doak Walker Award winner

Jet, March 7, 2005

* DOAK WALKER AWARD WINNER: University of Texas (UT) running back Cedric Benson shows off his trophy after being honored with the 2004 Doak Walker Award at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas, TX. The award is given annually to the outstanding college running back. Benson is the second player in UT history to earn the honor, joining Ricky Williams, who won the award twice (1997-98).

"I'm really excited that everyone at the Doak Walker Award felt I was worthy of winning their great honor," Benson said. "It's a rewarding tribute to all of the hard work that I've put in during my career and is definitely something all of my teammates deserve just as much credit for. They have cleared the way for any success I've had and come together to help us have a great season." Last season, Benson, a senior, ran for 1,834 yards and 19 touchdowns on 326 carries, becoming just the fifth player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons during his college career.

    How to Win at Office Politics

    Like it or not, every workplace is a political environment. But operating effectively within it doesn’t have to mean sucking up, lying, or slinging dirt. In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
