The first chapter received the Distinguished Artist Award from the New Jersey State Council. Paula is a graduate of Columbia Law and is a public defender in New York City.

Gridiron fans who attended the Holy Cross game tell me that the contest was far closer than indicated by the score. Hopefully, under the guidance of Buddy Teevens, the team will fare better when it returns to Ivy play. At least Columbia broke its streak against Princeton.
