...NOTEBOOK: Because of an error in the Ivy League program it was reported here that Brown's Cheryl Stahl was guilty of some unsportsmanlike play last weekend. The real culprit was Bruin Liza Knapp...Tuttle wished the Crimson booters good luck on the bus before they left Providence. Now that's class...
...banks that have extended Chrysler some $4.4 billion in private credit decided, each for its own reason, not to go along with the rescue plan.

Knapp, executive director of the Association of Physical Plant Administrators of Universities and Colleges: "Up East they cover it with ivy, so you can't see the buildings falling apart. People tend to think these places are too important to wear out." But in maintenance, a stitch in time means long-term salvation. Says William Massy, a vice president at Stanford University: "The trick is to put small amounts of money in early, before the sewer backs...
