...status last week, exhibiting wax figures of him and his wife Victoria, a.k.a. Posh Spice, as Joseph and Mary. As pop singer Kylie Minogue hovers angelically, Hugh Grant and Samuel L. Jackson appear as shepherds while Tony Blair, George W. Bush and Prince Philip portray wise men in the display, which will stay up until January. The Vatican has called the scene blasphemous.

Additionally, some House representatives hold regular office hours before Sunday council meetings—as required by council bylaws—to gather student views about other issues. Yet this outreach is still spotty. Different House representatives display varying levels of commitment to collecting student input. Glazer and Nichols must pound it into the heads of all council representatives that their first job is to represent and respond to their constituents...
