Thank goodness for folks like Shai M. Sachs '01. This past Sunday, Sachs, along with 23 other student representatives, voted to keep "Radcliffe" in the name of the Undergraduate Council.

One was a red-blooded American male, a guy who watches Smackdown each week and knows the wrestlers by name. The other? A girl reporter straight out of boarding school who worried about the possibility of getting soiled by wrestler sweat. We'll have full coverage for you in an upcoming issue....And for those of you not titillated by pop culture phenomena, we'll have you enraptured too: look...
