In the meantime, Yalies are planning events for this weekend’s game against Princeton.“A lot of colleges are really making a big deal out of [the Princeton game], which hasn’t happened in the past,” said Lissa X. Yu, the student activities chair of Pierson College. “It’s home, and it’s easier for us to go while juggling midterms and papers.”A chicken-wing eating event has been planned for this weekend, though there are usually...
Haugen's call was one of a flood received by DriveWise director Lissa Kapust and other driving-safety centers around the country following the Santa Monica horror.

...need to. On Nov. 15, a year after he was sworn in, a $20,000 ad ran in five California cities cheerfully urging residents to "help us amend for Arnold!" Who is behind this compassionate crusade? Not the Republican machine or the Austrian government but former college roommates Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones, a philanthropist in Woodside, Calif., and Mimi Chen, a stay-at-home mom in Los Angeles, who just cannot get enough of the Governator. The women graduated from Princeton in 1979 and went on to have careers well suited to championing a cause: Morgenthaler-Jones was a money manager...
