Bial's exam, the Bial-Dale College Adaptability Index, has been nicknamed the Lego Test for a 10-minute portion that asks small groups of students to reproduce a relatively complicated Lego robot. One at a time, students are allowed to go and look at the structure, which is placed in another room, but they can't take notes. In another tested activity, students lead a group discussion on a topic drawn from an envelope. In both cases, observers are watching to see who takes initiative, who collaborates well and who is persistent...

Since race day was the 18th, she picked the 18th Proverb, and settled on verse 10: "The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." Stevie handed him the note. He read it, kissed her on the cheek...
