...here and count the stupid hours and the days and mark them off a dumb calendar as to my last moment, my last hour, my last kiss." Roberta sits in the forest-green dining room, sipping herbal tea out of a mug decorated with little footprints, hearts and the words IT'S A GIRL. How is she holding herself together? "People can't understand," she says. "They think I'm falling to pieces nonstop in front of Jessi. But I would never do that." And then Robby DeBoer breaks down, heaving and weeping. The cries are not plaintive, not whimpers...
...early yet on the campaign calendar, and Republicans have hundreds of ads ahead of them. But the foundations of a Congressional drive will set the tone for the program to come. Highlighting errant Democrats is a one-sided strategy that will take the GOP only so far. If the party doesn't outline a Republican program--even a minimal, skeleton program--it's unlikely to be convincing.

Why aren't the major issues of the University--race relations, the place of athletics, and class diversity--on the list? Perhaps because these are conceptual issues, not the sort of pork that supposedly gets votes in Council elections...
...actually getting in touch with students, the Council has done little except for a dining hall poll about the academic calendar. At last Thursday's Council Re-evaluation Committee meeting. Fine explained that "it hasn't been done that much because the issues this semester weren't that issue-oriented," Hmm. One solution he offered was "if all the U.C. members asked their friends" about campus issues. Do you have a friend on the Council? You'd better if you want a say in what goes on there without having to drag yourself to a Sunday (home-work-day) meeting...
