During the spring before Walker's arrival on campus, five players were disciplined when a traditional team party turned rowdy, and a sixth, star Split End Lindsay Scott, lost his grant-in-aid after a shoving match with an academic adviser. The seniors served their penance by doing maintenance work at the school during the summer, and Scott, a junior, decided to pay his own way to play this fall. Sobered by their close call with oblivion, the seniors gathered two dozen players around them and, in the heat of a summer-long drought, ran laps and worked...

Robin Crutchfield, organist from DNA, is on his own, developing moody synthesizer compositions, a la Eno. Arto Lindsay continues to lead the greatly crippled and drastically redirected DNA. The agonizing edge to the music has been replaced by craftsmanship and care...
