...first construction project of the present Undergraduate Council was to rebuild its currently dilapidated image, one wonders if the blueprints call for a wrecking crane. More than one month after allegations of campaign violations surfaced, newly elected council president Fentrice D. Driskell '01 and vice president John A.

In the best cases, like Chicago, where the mayor and superintendent present a unified front, the power-sharing arrangement has boosted school performance. Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in 1995 appointed Paul Vallas, a city budget director, to serve as CEO of Chicago schools. Under their leadership, the percentage of elementary school students reading at or above the national average has risen from...
