Last fall, a group of undergraduates got together to discuss the possibility of starting an assembly to represent the student body better.

If you stay cool, you can actually enjoy the week, because you won't be frazzled or unnerved to fast. Pace yourself. You've got all week, and then four years -- eternity, practically, stretching out ahead of you. Keep the week in perspective and you're golden...
