...course, I don't expect Stewart and Cohen to drop their campaign pledge--"Action, for a change"--and embrace the council's bully pulpit. But at the least, if they are going to set aside "political" causes, they could work for things that really do matter to all students--universal keycard access, Core reform, advising reform and meal-plan flexibility...
...long as we're on the subject of non-political issues that matter to everyone, let me bring one up that somehow did not make it onto this year's laundry lists of proposed quality-of-life improvements: two-ply toilet paper.

In homes, it could help regulate temperature and conserve energy, something even Mr. Sunshine would approve...

Neukom, Microsoft's senior vice president for law and corporate affairs said Monday. Jackson said no to that, and that was fine by Bill. But, Neukom adds, Jackson's court went too far when it ordered the unbundling of Internet Explorer from Windows 95 "on its own initiative" and "without giving Microsoft notice or an opportunity to defend itself." Graciously, Microsoft announced that it will comply with the disputed injunction while the appeal is heard...
