Student offices and a coffeehouse or grill with a performance area are the facilities most in demand, said Jeffrey A. Camp '89, who founded SCSC with Yang. Other SCSC "wish list" items include lounges, a dance studio, stage and central information center, Camp said...
...most appropriate Election Night parable for the demoralized Democrats comes from the comic strips, even though for the Dukakis camp it is no laughing matter that the party has now lost five of the past six presidential elections.

Achieving all they had hoped for and more, Mech and Brandenburg managed to set up camp next to a wolf den and, most astonishingly, accompany the pack during hunts. Sponsored by the National Geographic Society, Mech and Brandenburg went back the next year with a film crew to give the world its first close-up view of life among the Arctic wolves...
