Appropriately, this elegant affair of Eliot's was raising money for an even more elegant affair, the Fete, Eliot's upscale spring formal. The proceeds of Kirkland's auction, however, were going to benefit HAND functions. And while I'm sure Eliot's HAND is every bit as successful as Kirkland's, and Kirklanders would enjoy the refinement of the Fete as much or as little as Eliot residents, I am still amused by the persisting house character that was evident that Thursday night...
...felt the money could be used for a groupthat has a larger effect on campus rather than asa stipend for one undergrad," Davis said. Thecouncil voted to increase BYRE's grant by $100 andquickly approved the rest of the package. In othercouncil business, members of the Campus LifeCommittee (CLC) asked representatives to helppublicize this weekend's Springfest...
...another. That's because the hard truth of the city's voucher program is that the choice it offers parents is mainly a choice of religious schools. The problem is that Cleveland's vouchers are capped at $2,250--not unusual for a voucher, but far too little money to allow real choice in the private school market.

The $2,250 vouchers work for religious schools...
...what's wrong with this picture? Nothing, as far as it goes. Sending hundreds of disadvantaged kids to superior schools is better than building another mansion in Aspen. And throwing money at a problem, contrary to popular wisdom, generally does help solve it. As Forstmann strides into the room like the Master of the Universe he is (he has made a fortune buying up Gulfstream Aerospace, Dr Pepper and General Instrument, among others), I'm prepared to give the attention due a dealmaker bringing his can-do attitude to social problems. Remember the appeal of Ross Perot's tinkering under...
...must have been behind such a decision. Admittedly, the original Broadway and first national tour productions of Tommy were horrifically expensive--bright costumes, extensive audio-visual equipment (including a border of TVs that framed the set) and a pinball machine that whirled in mid-air before exploding all cost money. True, fancy props do not necessarily a great musical make (Disney's hackneyed and overpriced Beauty and The Beast: The Musical, for example.) But when combined with the already-dazzling score of Tommy, the effects of the original production truly were phenomal...
