...shortage of shuttles is an indirect effect of how well we hyped up Harvard-Yale this year,” said CLC Services Chair John F. Voith ’07. “We sold more tickets than ever this year and I attribute that to all the spirit around campus.” According to Voith, the success of the first pep rally in several years, attended by over 2,000 students last Thursday night, showed that undergrads had a strong desire to cheer on the Crimson at The Game.

Jack is more restless--a not very successful rodeo rider when the spirit moves him but also a man for other, upwardly mobile opportunities. He's the one who initiates their first sexual encounter, although in the act itself he plays the passive role while Ennis is the aggressor.
