ANALYSIS: UVM has a long way to go before it’ll be good enough to contend in either the ECAC or Hockey East, its future home, but a crop of young stars should have coach Kevin Sneddon ’92 beaming. Freshman goaltender Joe Fallon was electric in net last weekend, recording 69 saves to earn a win and a tie against then-No. 1 Minnesota-Duluth. He must continue his string of impressive performances, else the Catamounts, weak offensively, shouldn’t expect similar results in the future...

...divine is easy to spot, what's harder to make out is the banal. But it's there too--in the meetings the priests convene to schedule their planting dates and combat the problem of crop pests; in the plans they draw up to maintain aqueducts and police conduits; in the irrigation proposals they consider and approve, the dam proposals they reject or amend. "The religion has a temple at every node in the irrigation system," says David Sloan Wilson, professor of biology and anthropology at Binghamton University in Binghamton, N.Y.
