(He says that he still considers himself “a semester behind” in the field.)“I would like to go more into physics and get farther ahead,” he says. “But I consider that the price of [playing] music. Otherwise, I would be taking five courses.” “I don’t know how he does it,” says Daniel P. Gurney...

They’ve loped around campus in faded jeans, sporting stubble and shocks of long hair. Purely on image, it would be harder to get farther away from the student council Type-A suit. Chris was upbeat about his defeat, ever, he said, the “cock-eyed optimist.” “I’m not really surprised that I lost, I lost the first three elections of my high school...
