At night they snuggle together in the same bed. One has a powerful urge to knock their identical ash blond heads together...
...already seems to be doing, the College could cut staff from the Advising Programs Office, which has grown considerably in just the past few years. Associate Dean of Advising Programs Monique Rinere, who was hired from Princeton and is leaving for Columbia, is responsible for much of this aimless expansion. The College is making the right decision in keeping her position vacant. Likewise, at least three of the remaining seven members of Rinere’s department can be laid...
