Joe,

While I will write Chancellor Frenk an email, I also will send him a letter as it connotes a tad extra in the way of concern. (It's just a personal habit I got into: writing my congressperson when she began to irritate me by not acquiescing to my demands!) It'll probably go into the round file, but what the hell!

Oh, and of course I shall be courteous and polite.* In fact, just like Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption, who solicited library funds from the Maine state legislature, I can keep on writing until Dr Frank relents. We might not get a new AD and coach, but he'll probably have someone go back into storage and send along some old remaindered copies of Niswonger and Fess's Accounting Principles.

*Oh, and no threats, of course. "Nice University ya got here, Doc! Be a shame if.."

Chancellor Julio Frenk,

Office of the UCLA Chancellor

Personally, I think Utah, UNLV and New Mexico are all playoff teams. It’s really not that dire.

I was at the Langham luxury hotel in Pasadena yesterday before going to the Rose Bowl for the game. I was advised the team had stayed at the hotel (i saw massage tables still set up). Does anyone know if this is true? What in Joe Bruin's name are college kids staying at such a posh resort? Especially given the athletic department's debt, and the exceptionally poor product UCLA is putting on the turf
