...resurgent CBS and in some weeks ABC as well. On Sunday nights, NBC is even struggling to stay out of fourth place, behind the spunky Fox network. Reason: basement-level performance by four new shows, including two headed by big-name stars -- Robert Guillaume in Pacific Station and James Garner in the apparently inaptly named Man of the People. NBC's Friday-night offerings are doing so poorly that beginning this week the network is replacing two prime-time news programs with the well-worn Matlock mystery series...
...there is no point in bickering further. This is a new year, with a new Council and a new agenda. The UC will do its best to start the fall semester on a positive note, as we continue to garner more student input and be more assertive with resolutions...
Columbia's strongest position may be goalkeeper.

This season, Rosamilia has yielded just one goal, to Davidson College, while recording 18 saves...
...this bear finally staggers, then stretches out on the ice like a giant sheep dog. The helicopter sets down, and biologist Gerald Garner advances, kicking the bear in the behind to make sure it is immobilized. A swivel of its head and a flashing of teeth warn Garner that there is plenty of defiance left in this 272-kg (600-lb.) carnivore. With a syringe, he injects more drug. At last the head droops, and Garner can proceed. Around the bear's neck he fastens a vinyl collar containing a computer that will send data to a satellite, allowing scientists...
Those tense moments were all in a day's work for Garner, one of a handful of hearty scientists, pilots and technicians taking part in a ground-breaking and hazardous $700,000 annual U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service study of arctic polar bear populations. In an effort to follow the fate of more than 600 bears since the program's inception, the researchers have braved wind-chill factors of -59 degrees C (-75 degrees F), spartan living conditions, the constant threat of mechanical failures and the peril of being stranded on an ice pack. Last October two government biologists...
