Prichard ’03, his newly parched weekends are just the latest in a long list of grievances.

PEBBLES (Providing Education by Bringing Learning Environments to Students) have rolled into five U.S. pediatric centers --in Cleveland, Ohio; Baltimore, Md.; New Haven, Conn.; Miami; and Chicago.

Junior Timothy Jackson (of Toronto, Canada!) will play goal. I, sophomore Dave Weinfeld of Montreal, will play center every shift. Of course, with this scenario, the “Crimson” would probably lose just as badly as BU did to the real Harvard women’s hockey team, but for the sake of parity, it makes the most sense...
