...Dole does not win the Republican nomination, he will die a horrible political death. We will see him vainly thrashing around in his last strongholds--the Bible Belt and the isolated pockets of the country where fundamentalism and fanaticism still rear their low brow heads.

Most smokers begin their habits as teenagers; by eradicating the underage cigarette problem now, the city avoids the unnecessary costs...

If students decide that Loker's inconveniences mean a visit to Memorial Hall is not worth the walk, Loker will slowly die out. Future "new Dining Services concepts" like this one will be imperiled. Having a student center, and encouraging the University to try new types of services, is imperative...
