| "AND WHAT DO YOU THINK?" .
. . |
Local television stations sent reporters to Professor John Murley's political
science class this month to find out student opinion on the investigation
of President Clinton. "It's important for students to understand about
both political and constitutional aspects of the Congressional investigation
into possible articles of impeachment," says Murley.

| A MEDAL WEEKEND
. . . |
Mother Nature cooperated with a perfect fall day for the 1998 Stonehurst
Capital Invitational Regatta, part of RIT's Brick City Festival. More then
6,000 spectators came to watch RIT's heavyweight men's eight come away
with a bronze medal in the collegiate division. Yale again won the George
Angle Cup for the men's heavyweight eights, with Northeastern winning the
Elaine Wilson Cup for the women's heavyweight eights. RIT came in sixth
in the women's heavyweight fours. The RIT alumni boat beat three alumni
crews from the University of Rochester and in a special exhibition, the
U.S. National team edged the Canadian National Crew by 54 seconds. And,
between races, nearly 1,000 visitors stopped by RIT's hospitality tent
throughout the afternoon.
