Jesus is munching on popcorn chicken in Loker Commons. This isn't your Father's Jesus: he's clean-shaven, cherubic, a genial-looking guy in a comfortable sweater--J. Crew, the official sponsor of the Second Coming. Meet Jeffery E. Fowler '01, who will play Jesus in this fall's production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Not that the two are one and the same: Fowler is the first to admit that he is no celebrity (or divinity, for that matter), and it's clear that this whole Jesus thing has not gone to his head.

The women's coach, Susan Lindholn, has been pushing her regimen hard. She too does...
...Charles "to compete with the international rowers." The women's program, coached by Joe Wilhelm, are also a fairly young team with superb athletic talent. The champ eight has four returning varsity rowers, but Wilhelm feels wary about his young team: "inexperience can lead to inconsistency." However, the novice crew was 8 and 2 last year, with talent that bodes well for the future. "It's great to have a regatta this size in our own back yard," says Wilhelm.
