...camera might not be kind to her. Her strong jaw, aquiline nose, and high cheekbones are riveting, rather than cover-girl cute.

It is impossible, Colon says, to dismiss their judgement as easily as that of those who from the frequency of their complaints, you know are biased...
...riding the hot seat around the IAB these days is Kevin McCall '76, director of facilities in the Department of Athletics. And while McCall never has been an unfamiliar figure around the department--his play on the lacrosse field raised many an eyebrow a few years ago--his name is now being mentioned for very different reasons...
