It's a Snow Day for the kids as the predicted storm has dumped six inches or so of the white stuff on us so far. A weekend's worth of hustling to get the garage cleared out for the cars, the last of the outdoor furniture, etc., put away and the '84 VW camper put up was well worth it.

The publication Columbia College Today has an important story about former Columbia quarterback Archie Roberts '65, and the work he's doing screening retired football players for heart disease. From the story:

When Roberts was playing football, there were only a handful of 300-pounders in the NFL. By 1987, the number was up to 27 players who weighed 300 pounds or more. But as football has followed the trend to bigger, stronger athletes, that figure swelled to 240 by 1997; today the number is more than 350. “What doctors are learning is that size is a risk factor for heart disease, just like hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol are risk factors,” Roberts explains.

From the Daily Dartmouth: "Controversy over Trustee Todd Zywicki ‘88’s public October criticisms of the College administration has taken a new turn, as the Alumni Council voted to condemn Zywicki’s statements in a resolution passed this weekend at the council’s 195th meeting."
