...what gives his work its unmistakable haunting atmosphere? Hopper himself wasn't much of a guide. He was somewhat reclusive, and discussed his work only in the most general way. He wrote in the catalog for his 1933 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan: "My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impressions of nature." Nor was he particularly illuminating when he told TIME in 1948: "You know how beautiful things are when you're traveling."

...risks of overcoaching apply to older players, too, Chappell argues. In 1988, Ian Frazer was 22 when he became one of the first inductees into the Adelaide-based Cricket Academy, where the aim was to prepare the country's most promising talent for international competition.

As the extremely close results of the referendum show, many students are not in favor of such an increase. While many may happily support the current $35 activities fee, increasing it to $75 will likely cause many...
