...Murphy said, adding that “those games are really precious.”“I could see that up at the Columbia scrimmage,” he said. “Guys were just so excited to play. Part of it is you get so familiar with yourself that you tend to plateau at how much you can get out of a practice.”The rest of the team’s natural yearning for the return of football has undoubtedly been augmented by questions: questions about dealing with controversy.

The new Advising Programs Office (APO), which coordinates undergraduate advising and launched the new Peer Advising Fellows program, has added five new staff members since its formation last spring. But the new office will be staffed with some familiar faces, as former administrative standbys take on new posts. Assistant Dean of Advising Programs James N.
