We do not want the UC election process to devolve into a proposition-ridden ballot frenzy like in California. Opponents of the referendum argue that this issue is no different from any other campus movement, and, if allowed on the ballot, it would lead down a slippery-slope to countless other referenda...
...counties, and some of those, just barely. But it was apparently enough. So Montana, which overwhelmingly re-elected its lone G.O.P. Congressman, essentially remains a red state.

The game featured a penalty-ridden performance by both of the Crimson’s lines, with fourteen Harvard flags for 98 yards. Nine of those penalties came in the first half, as the Crimson entered the break with a 14-7 advantage. Columbia’s rushing game actually moved backwards in the first half...
...DIED. Eric Newby, 86, venerated, genial British travel writer who infused his accounts of trips to remote locales-which often proved disastrous-with wit and humanity; in Surrey, England. His signature work, A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, detailed his long, illness-ridden ascent of Afghanistan's 6,000-m peak Mir Samir...
