...increasingly important job: to provide new activities for its members and to help organize existing College-wide activities on a House level. The College, of course, has numerous clubs and organizations, but many of them take so much talent and time that many students fail to join them. A fair-to-good violinist, for example, who does not meet standards of the Bach Society or Pierian Sodality, now finds few places to fiddle in an organized chamber music group.

In the first game, sophomore Shelly Madick pitched a complete-game shutout, out-pitching Ivy League Pitcher of the Year Erin Snyder. “That was an unbelievable game...

But the answer to this “eternal question of journalism,” as she calls it, is still not concrete for her.She admits, however, that she is not the one to ask for a definitive answer...
