...president, Donna Shalala, are trying to clean things up. The recruiting standards of most major college football programs are a cynical joke when it comes to scholarship and character; UM football is known for being less scrutinizing than most 17th-century pirate vessels. But when former Hurricanes coach Larry Coker in 2004 recruited a Miami teen, linebacker Willie Williams, whose arrest record was longer than his high school transcript, Shalala intervened and demanded the high school All-American meet certain academic and behavioral standards before stepping on the field. Williams eventually transferred to another school. "All big-time football schools...
...computer science lecturer, writes in an email. “In theory, someone at MIT could simply ask someone at Harvard to execute that sort of command, [but] truth be told, it’s not that hard.” Pierre S.

...sixth piece, “Sets, Subsets, Systems,” is as organized in structure as the title implies, and choreographer Elizabeth Coker, a Columbia junior, proves deceptive in her simplicity. Three lone dancers each represent moderation, majesty, and passion in their musical forms. Molly M. Altenburg ’07 begins as Allegro Moderato—the warm colors of the lighting and her languid style emphasizes the moderation of the title. In one of the transitions whose ease marks the piece, Erin A. Straw ’07 enters as the epitome of majesty, Allegro Maestoso...
