...last fall, two Harvard freshmen left the Yale football game because of facial injuries caused by punches. Not exactly what T.A.D. Jones or Percy Haughton had in mind. The old spirit seems to have vanished.

"I'm a visual performer," she says. "I have to act, use facial expressions, get mood changes across. It's hard to share any of this with a microphone. I need an audience desperately...
