Sophomore Trey Burns, University record holder in the 1000-yard run at 2:10.9, finished third in 2:10.4 Saturday for a personal best, though not quite equal to the record-breaking performances of Georgetown's Ricardo Urbina (2:08.8) and Seton Hall's Herb Germann...
...idea can be put across so well is nothing short of miraculous. With imaginative settings, excellent and often brilliant dialogue, and a beautiful theatrical symmetry, much of the play's success is due to Joel Schwartz, who both wrote and directed it. But the acting is not only equal to the play itself, it often surpasses it.

The French faction would not think of accepting it without being guaranteed equal facilities-an item estimated to cost a minimum of $500 million. Even if this were miraculously arranged, the massive international prestige of Louvain would be maimed.

Tarzan, a perennial favorite, still takes to the trees occasionally to fight for right, but with obsolete weapons. The Wild West gunfighter endures, though an hombre who traditionally hates kissin' and gets his kicks by digging spurs into horseflesh seems equally ill-adapted to the times. The exquisitely contemporary hero is girl-happy, gadget-minded James Bond, whose legend has already tempted a host of imitators to bland larceny...
