...Crimson, its football following is constantly looking for easy, quick answers to a tough and perplexing season. Critics and comrades alike seem too eager to point accusing fingers at quarterback Larry Brown for the relative success and failure of this year's squad. That's wrong, if for no other reason than it drastically overlooks the injuries of Wayne Moore and Craig Beling, as well as the inspiring play of Ralph Polillio, Rich Horner, Matt Granger, Marco Coric and Bob Woolway.

However, they have so far been mollified by another distinct faction in the assembly--a group of left-leaning representatives who differ from the radicals in their belief that representation must come before ideology...
Riesman says students play a greater role than they realize in determining the fate of their curriculums. "Students vote with their feet and with their attention," he explains.
