a tricky one, said Carol Cohen83, associate dean o the College.It creates the expectation, perhapsmore so than at other schools, that

Johnson said almost every stu-dent struggles with personal chal-lenges at some point. And in someways, that period o malcontent

Most o the conversationsWPCs had wth RsL ast yarwere unsuccessul because admin-

istrators did not understand thestudents perspective, McNab said.

In October 2010, McNab andSerrino put together a report thatincluded results rom a poll ad-ministered to WPCs rom two sep-

arate years and recommendationson how to improve the programas a whole, McNab said. Tey metwith Basil and various CommunityDirectors, but the meeting resulted

in no signicant changes to theprgram, sh sad.

Based on this and other in-teractions, the WPCs ormed asteering committee led by HaleyKossek 13 and Anna Quinn 13 tocome up with recommendationsor ResLie to implement and tostrengthen the programs mission,MNab sad.

Kossek and Quinn had a lot

o conversations with Basil andother ResLie administrators, butno changes were implemented lastyear, McNab said. McNab resigned

Part o it is just a general hap-piness with the program, eelinggood about the supervision theyre

urning both head tricks andbed tricks, Measure or Mea-sure is oering audiences a starknew look at the classic Shakespeare

play in Rebecca Maxelds 13production, running this Friday

through Monday in the CrystalRm Auma Ha.

As th pay tus, Agreveals himsel to be a cruel leader

and attempts to make an exampleo Claudio (also played by Ou),condemning him to die. Only hissister, the virtuous nun Isabella(Es rty 3), a sa hmby rg Ag hr rgty.

Te once virtuous judge An-gelo becomes a hypocrite, em-bodying a central theme o theplay the tension between inno-cence and corruption. Some riseby sin, and some by virtue all,says Escalus (Isabella Giancarlo14), underscoring the dramatict ag ah haratr.

Te cast members reveal them-

selves as true actors o the drama.Caught between integrity and vice,

hal the actors play more than onemajor role. With these multiple

parts, cast members portray char-

acters at either ends o this ten-sion, caught between virtue andhry.

Teres so much in Measureabout multiple capacities or mul-tiple personas, Maxeld wrote inan email to Te Herald. Because o

ths duaty, sh hs atrs kAlejandro Garcia Morales 15 to

begin in the role o Pompey, pimpand bartender, and nish as theexecutioner, Friar Peter, she wrote.

Maxeld also chose to explorethe character o the Duke to agreater extent than most produc-tions. In the story, the Duke neverreally leaves but stays on as themysterious puppet-master gurewho controls the major plotting o

th pay, sh wrt.Instead o the usual ending

where he proposes to the nun Isa-bella, Maxeld makes the Dukeoer her his worldly authority,baus hs s hr das abut justice develop they strike abalance between the Dukes previ-ous lax rule and Angelos severity,

T pay was prdud by thProgram in Renaissance and Early

Tough the plot may sound cli-h, Rk Ags ts ths as-sic story by inusing it with glam

the music o artists such as BonJovi, Styx, Whitesnake and Journey sung live by the actors, in show-stppg sty.

But Romo has the ourth-high-st quartrbak ratg a tm.Seriously, look it up. Hes well aheado Dan Marino, John Elway, Mi-ha Vk, Pyt Mag, mBrady and even legendary Cowboysroy Aikman and Roger Staubach.In this weeks loss to the Lions,Romo had 331 yards passing andthree touchdowns. Even during hisworst stretch in the Lions game, be-

ginning with his rst interception,Romo was 11-20 with an averagesix yards per completion. Certainlyt gd umbrs, but I wudta thm awu.

Lst th stry Rms -lapse was the act that he playedwith a cracked rib and a puncturedlung. Te same cracked rib andpunctured lung he played on lastweek as he helped the Cowboysgrind out a win against the division-

leading Washington Redskins. Tesame cracked rib and puncturedug h sustad th mdd a urious game against the suddenlyimpressive San Fransisco 49ers. Te

gam that Rm dmadd t r-turn to when his team was down 10

in the ourth quarter. Te game that

Romo won nearly single-handedlywith a spectacular throw to a rookie

that previously had never caught aball in an NFL game. Te game that

Daas w rtm.Teres no denying that ony

Romo has been a part o more late-gam apss tha ay thr a-tive quarterback in the NFL, butthr s a ras y st sttgon the bench and eating Doritosyet. Hes actually been one o the 10best quarterbacks in the league thisyear. In act, Romo has been one othe top quarterbacks in the NFLsince he became a starter our years

ago. He has just had horrendousluck in terms o when he begins

t thrw trpts.Ts s th ra ras that th

relationship between Cowboysans and ony Romo is like thatcouple that just wont break upbecause they are too araid to bea. Rm w w a gam adcook the Cowboys ans a lovely, ro-

mantic dinner, then two days laterhes throwing our interceptions,

orgetting that its the ans anniver-sary and taking them out to Chilisor dinner. One minute, they arescreaming at each other about howmuch they hate the others parents.Te next, they are making out in thecorner o a party or a comicallyg prd tm.

onys become a tragic gure,a guy who honestly tries his bestad ds prtty w. T prbmis that all o his screw-ups are somuch bigger than the things hedoes right. Hes under the mostscrutiny o any quarterback, but wh h pays jurd t try

t hp hs tam, h gts ad ra loss that was also a by-product bad ds ad a trrb ru-g gam.

He might have once been thewmazg quttr that I patdin the beginning o this column.But the ony Romo I saw last Sun-day was not the same guy. Te manI saw was getting pain-numbingshots on the sideline because hewas playing injured. Tat same guythrew or over 250 yards and threetouchdowns in just over hal o thegame. Hes the guy whos quietlyb th bst quartrbak t-ball that everyone calls a loser. Hes

as th guy wh st th gam.Trs th ra tragdy y

Rm. Hs th guy whs wrkdhard to make himsel better. Hesthe quarterback who does all thethings you want him to do. Teprbm s that h at gt uto his own way and now he has be-come synonymous with the athletewho cannot win the big games. Buthe is not giving up, and the laws oprbabty w hm sm ars.

Coming o a resounding 35-21 victory over the Universityo Rhode Island to reclaim theGovernors Cup Saturday night,the ootball team will host HolyCross Saturday in its nal non-r gam th sas.

We know were acing another

really good team, said co-captainquarterback Kyle Newhall-Cabal-lero 11.5. Its a really good testor us beore we get into leaguepay.

Rt mathups btw thBears (2-1, 0-1 Ivy) and HolyCross (2-2) have been close. In2010, the Crusaders edged outBru 7-3 Wrstr, Mass.Te season beore, the Bears ekedout a 34-31 victory on a eld goal th gams a sds.

Tis years contest should beanother tight matchup. Despiteag 3-3 ast wkd t N.7 University o New Hampshire

(3-1), the Crusaders generatedover 500 yards o oense and hung

wth a tp-0 FCS tam.

Head Coach Phil Estes saidquarterback Ryan aggart is HolyCrss mst ptt wap. ag-gart thrw r 4 yards ad twtouchdowns and was the lead-g rushr wth 55 yards agastUNH. Ora, h s th sd-bst rushr th tam wth yards tta, bhd startg ru-g bak Rgg Wds.

(aggarts) oense does avery good job o keeping you o-

balance, Estes said. He does agood job o nding open receivers.

Wr gg t ha t d a way

to disguise coverages to conusethe quarterback, but also we haveto do a good job o breaking theirprtt.

But Browns Newhall-Caballero

has also been a orce on oensethis season. Against URI (1-3),he threw or 203 yards and hadour touchdowns, two in the airand two on the ground. He hasbeen named Ivy League OensivePlayer o the Week two o the past

thr wks.Every time Newhall-Caballero

has aced Holy Cross, it has been a

quartrbak batt, h sad.Most o them have been aerial

shootouts, he said. Tey execute.
