    PRESIDENT BETTY'S WISDOM:

    Live your life so that if someone says, "Be yourself", it's good advice.

    A little humor from your Ripples typist, Bill Fuller:
    The week following the "Chair Throw" I, as Chairperson of the University Senate proposed the introduction of a new sport. It would require limited facilities - any hallway would do, and only one participant. The sport would be called Churling (Chair hurling) and, naturally, the participant would be a Churl.
