With Eliot House's 143-35 vote last Sunday, all 12 House Committees have now voted to endorse the move to UKA. The council whisked through legislation expressing their approval of UKA last night and, most importantly, Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68--once lukewarm to the idea of UKA--is now one of its most ardent supporters...
...existing popular support. They should possess the necessary personal attributes to create such support during the brief duration of the council campaign. As the situation currently stands, and has often stood in the past, those few students who vote in two weeks will merely be expressing a lukewarm preference for one candidate over the others, and not an impassioned advocacy. Even if there were serious issues at stake--which admittedly there are not-the current offering of aspiring presidents would be sufficiently dull to drown the enthusiasm of even the most committed activists...
...election where public opinion is largely like a bowl of lukewarm cream of wheat, Buchanan has felt the ire and vitriol of countless columnists and commentators. While no one has risen to heights of indignation over Bush or Bradley, Buchanan has left a trail of incendiary and occasionally offensive comments from his previous two presidential runs and "off season" political columns.

...Superstar begins with a young, nerdy Mary Katherine Gallagher (Molly Shannon) saving the life of a young boy at the local public swimming pool. It is a bizarre, unfunny scene that sets the tone for this lukewarm comedy. The next scene shows the now familiar Mary Katherine in school, first being mocked by the class beauty, Evian (Elaine Hendrix), and then pining away for the most popular guy in school, Sky (Will Ferrel). Undaunted, Mary Katherine longs to be a Hollywood superstar so she can get her first movie-style kiss, preferably from Sky. Opportunity presents itself in the form...
