...Charley and Jack have invited their respective girlfriends, Amy and Kitty, to lunch in their rooms with the intention of proposing to them. Their chaperone is supposed to be Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez, Charley's Brazilian aunt, who is due on the next train. Unfortunately, Donna Lucia sends a note saying that she won't be coming after all, and Jack decides that Charley should impersonate his aunt. Donna Lucia, however, happens to be a millionaire, and Charley soon finds himself being pursued by Jack's widowed father, Sir Francis, as well as Amy's overprotective uncle, Mr. Spettigue, making...
Recently, the Office of the Dean of Students released its "Handbook on Race Relations." When I first saw the title emblazoned on the glossy booklets, I recalled another "handbook" the College gives us--the "Handbook for Students."

Of the 3,500 inmates currently on death row nationwide, more than 450 are detained at Huntsville. It is interesting to note that Gurule was the first to escape from death row since the 1934 flight of Bonnie and Clyde gang member Raymond Hamilton--the man was clearly desperate. While he and his conspirators made meticulous plans to escape, they had no idea what they would do once they were outside...
