Some students direct their energies into maintaining the appearance of an intense workout rather than actually exercising, Every time I go to the gym, I brace myself for the scrutiny. As soon as I get on my elliptical, an energetic, spandex-clad girl will inevitably take the one next to me, her high ponytail bouncing along with her quick pace and absent resistance. She is clearly more focused on her appearance than actually exercising, and the pleasure she derives from running at her quickened tempo is immediately apparent from her almost pitying glances in my direction...
...roughing the passer calls that ignited attitudes throughout Fitton Field.The first came early in the game when a Crusader was charged with using his head as a weapon.

The scantily-clad disco-diva then falls in love with the local duo of car wash clowns, who make “asses” of themselves while under the influence of Wheelgood’s special concoction. Similarly love-poisoned are Dmitri (Lucille Duncan) and Sander (Rebecca Whitehurst), who both fall for Helen...
...Toronto Film Festival leaves the door open for progress (even if the event was exceptional enough to merit a New York Times article). But it’s time for America to take up the slack, too. The writer Bill Bryson once compared Canada to a sophisticated, black-turtleneck-clad woman in her mid-30s and America to a chubby preteen boy. Though he was being flippant, there’s a kernel of truth to that generalization. In America, 90 percent of directors are male—not an inherent disqualification for trying to understand the mental processes...
