...return three starters and center Harrison Schaen, who took a year off last season, but for Princeton to be considered an upper division team, a lot of faith has to be placed in the “addition by subtraction” theory. (For the record, my preseason ballot had the Tigers second, so count me among the believers...
...programs we do have cannot make the best of the resources we have,” Rodriguez told the cabinet in response to a question. After an hour of discussion moderated by outgoing President Shaw Natsui ’05-’06, Rodriguez was chosen by secret ballot over Chimaobi O.

But perhaps because success came so easy, he stopped playing the role of consensus builder. After all, many of the ballot initiatives he pushed--as well as his failed effort earlier this year to bring the costly public pension system under control--made sense. California's redistricting virtually ensures that incumbents never lose, the state continues to spend beyond its means, and its schools need an upgrade. But by attacking nurses, teachers...
