...shame that in arguing for a reduction in the size of the Undergraduate Council (a goal I fully support) prior to approving a term-bill increase, the editorial staff feels the need to put forth baseless assertions about the council's competence (Editorial, Nov. 18). In particular, I'm interested in what the editorial staff finds to be the council's "mediocre campus-wide events." Are these the Harvard-Yale weekend festivities?

To keep players fresh, Delaney-Smith will rotate often and get the most of her players' quality minutes...
...originally planned on remaining in the South to play college ball, but he had heard all too often from coaches that at 5'11 and 180 pounds, he lacked the size to play quarterback. Patterson had intended on enrolling at the University of Memphis, but Murphy caught wind of the athletic speedster, and soon enough, TP found his way to the Ivy League...
