Next year Frary Dining Hall will be closed. The kitchen and dining facilities will receive a much-needed renovation, and the finished facility should rival Malott Commons and Collins Dining Hall.

Meanwhile, Gore wants to associate himself with Bill Clinton, leader of America during its greatest prosperity ever. Go to Letter

I don't know much about Gloria Steinem. I do, however, know that she once said "if the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?" Last Thursday I watched her come to Scripps and endorse Al Gore for president of the United States.
