...council as a whole also undertook many projects that vastly improved student life; shuttle buses to the airport, SpringFest, the Gala Ball, the First-Year Formal, bus trips to Yale for The Game and thousands of dollars in grants to student organizations.

"President Clinton's policy of virtually inviting Iran into Europe could have disastrous results for America," said Gingrich.
