...Harvard's next match against then-No. 23 B.C.-the same team that eliminated Harvard from the NCAA tournament last year-it was senior midfielder Meredith Stewart who rose to the occasion. Stewart, who registered more points this year than in her first three seasons combined, tallied both goals in the Crimson's thrilling 2-1 overtime victory...
...while the Faculty will probably find it easier to discuss details than to pontificate on the abstract goals of a liberal education-a topic that provoked almost endless discussion in Faculty meetings this past year-it is also likely that faculty members will begin to hear the sounds of a few toes being stepped on. "You can't have a basic core that includes everything," Rosovsky says, adding, in a moment of rather rare candor, "the heart [of the proposal] is that some things are more important to a basic liberal arts education than others...

No less generous with themselves, ALPA captains collect flight pay of around $40 per hour for time that they spend on association business; last year union officers managed to spend $1,100,000 on "meals, travel and lodging."
