...that accompany it; an August 2006 study in the journal “Stress & Health” found, in college students, a significant negative relationship between physical activity and self-reported anxiety. Were club sports teams better funded, and by extension, less expensive for individual participants, more students would join and benefit from them. The Department of Athletics should address club sports’ funding problems both by enabling ties between club sports and the fundraising Varsity Club and by increasing club sports’ annual allowance.

Even as more Republican Senators, most notably John McCain, join the call for Gonzales to resign, many - some stunned, some frustrated, some simply resigned - say they think the White House has weathered the storm. "There's only two people who can make the decision," to remove Gonzales, says Texas Senator John Cornyn: Gonzales himself, and Bush...
