The team's captain and quarterback, Jimmy Clausen, 22, of Thousand Oaks, Calif., had been the nation's top high school football player when he turned down all other offers to play at Notre Dame. Arriving on campus in a Hummer - a flashier entrance than the team was used to - he bragged that his goal was to win four national titles with the Irish. Now a junior, Clausen's single post-season win happened in something called the Hawaii Bowl...
Jackman has the flashier role: shirtsleeves rolled up, dark hair slicked back, he's a brash, bullying but well-meaning family man, who has become an expert at justifying the moral compromises demanded by the urban jungle where he works.

The two share an effortless rhythm and sharp comedic timing that help them pull off some of the more absurd one-liners...
...impressed by the experience and platform of UC Finance Committee Chair Andrea R. Flores ’10 and her running mate, Kia J. McLeod ’10. Flores has served admirably over the course of her UC tenure, choosing to serve on the Finance Committee over the flashier SAC—the traditional venue for aspiring politicos—and then working to generate the first UC budget surplus in years. She and McLeod have well thought-out policies—that in many cases are quite similar to those of Schwartz and Biggers—and would...
