Another friend (not an undergraduate) sighs enviously at the notion of a "last chance dance," the kindness and foresight of an institution which would go to the effort to ensure that its members will leave with no regrets...

On race day she'll give him a verse from Scripture, and he'll tape it to his steering wheel...
