Plans to erect a gate at the Richmond Road entrance to campus near Zable Stadium were unveiled to the building and grounds committee of the Board of Visitors at the meeting last week. In addition to providing the College with an official entrance, the gate will honor donors who make $1 million contributions to the College by listing their names on a plaque.

College President Timothy Sullivan said that the project involved a number of private volunteers who wanted to celebrate the beginning of a new millennium at the College.

Freshman Vicki Pavlova doesn't schedule anything at 6:30 on Thursday evenings. This is the specific time when the entire family gets together at the house for dinner, just "one of those things where everybody comes."

Perhaps this doesn't seem so unusual to some people, but to Pavlova, a 17-year old exchange student originally from Russia, it still takes some getting used to. She is staying with Steve and Gilinda Rogers, whose extended family all live in the area. Therefore, Thursday nights are big events, when approximately 16 or 17 people reunite for dinner.

It's hard for a new comic book to stand out from the dozens released every week. Most are so crammed with ridiculous plots, cardboard characters and exaggerated biceps that reading them quickly becomes tedious; they're all the same.

However, the new series "Powers" from Image Comics is proof that the comic industry's inspiration hasn't completely run dry.

The Summer Olympics are a time of nostalgia for many, fierce national pride for others and celebration of the athletic tradition for most. Of the scores of talented young athletes who have trained their whole lives to do our nation proud, a precious few have been chosen to compete in the time-honored Games. From torch to finish line, this September's festivities in Sydney will undoubtedly produce a slew of memories, and with a little luck, some gold medals for the United States.

As the Games progress, the United States has quickly accumulated both medals and publicity for its individual athletes, particularly in swimming, in which the United States. currently leads the field for golds. However, with the constant flux of day-to-day competition, it is the team sports that really provide the sense of continuing excitement that makes the Olympics such a landmark event in the lives of people around the world.
