Coach Hal Ulen's swimmers are also working now in the Blockhouse, but not in the pool. The varsity is spending most of its time on the boxing room mats, undergoing doses of Ulen's special muscle exercises for an hour daily.

He flirts occasionally with another studio to learn how much he is really worth, and does...

We would like to pool these letter grades to form a scale of scholastic achievement. Since the distribution of grades in the several courses are quite different, even more variable must be considered in the problem...
