Supporters of the bill used the potential plight of SAC Vice Chair Paul A. Gusmorino '02 to make their case. Because Gusmorino lives in Lowell House, where council elections are very competitive, it is possible that he will not be elected delegation chair next fall. As a result, he may not get to serve on SAC, his first choice committee...
...billion owed by the world's impoverished countries (a sum just one-third of the value lost on the NASDAQ over the past three months). Of these, many of the poorest, like Mozambique, Honduras and Myanmar, have little hope of making repayment. Drastic steps to relieve their plight have gained a spectrum of supporters, including Pope John Paul II; Bono, the U2 rock-band singer; and Jubilee 2000, an international faith-based coalition...

Kim's vibrancy is not to be missed; each of her humorous and irreverent facial expressions enhances her performance and draws the audience in to her plight as the one-time fiance of the now dead Sir Roderic Murgatroyd (Robert Hughes '01). Hannah is a feisty woman and Kim is wonderfully cast; it is with much relish and glee that she pulls a knife (from a glittering red garter) on Robin, in one of Ruddigore's many comic...
