Student refuses to give class gift
A student at Dartmouth College was
chastised for choosing not to donate
to her school's senior class gift fund,
according to an Oct. 28 Chronicle of
Higher Education article.
Laura DeLorenzo was the only
member of the 2010 graduating class
who chose not to donate to the fund.
DeLorenzo's decision put a prom-
ise from the class of 1960 to donate
$100,000 to the school if each gradu-
ating senior donated to the fund at
risk.
DeLorenzo was the subject of a
scathing column in the school's news-
paper, but her name was never men-
tioned. The next day, an anonymous
author posted an entry on a blog that
included her name and attacked her
decision.
According to the article, DeLoren-
zo said her decision not to donate was
personal and reflects her view that
"the negative aspects of Dartmouth
outweigh the positives, and nothing
more."

Areas with worst economy
may give lawmakers a pass
Few close Republican
House races in cities
with bad economies
(AP) - In a year when voters are
angry about the economy and ready
to oust incumbents, Democratic
Rep. Shelley Berkley would seem to
be in big trouble - her Las Vegas-
area district is the most economi-
cally stressed in the country, with
soaring unemployment, bankruptcy
and foreclosure rates.
But she and most other House
members who represent areas with
huge numbers of lost jobs appear
to be in little danger of losing their
own during this election cycle. Just
the opposite: Incumbents from the
nation's most economically resilient
regions are the ones in trouble.
An Associated Press analysis
of foreclosures, bankruptcies and
unemployment figures shows that
of the more than 100 races that will
determine whether Republicans
gain control of the House, only a few
are in areas with the most extreme
levels of economic stress.
In New Hampshire, for instance,
polls show Republican challenger
Frank Guinta ahead of Democratic
Rep. Carol Shea-Porter even though
the state's unemployment is 5.5 per-
cent, well below the national rate of
9.6 percent. The state's other House
race is tight despite New Hamp-
shire's relative prosperity.
Susan Terzakis, 45, of Bedford,
N.H., said she has voted for both
parties in the past but feels having
a Republican in the seat will help
mend the economy. She has been
frustrated by what she calls an exo-
dus of jobs from the state and said
Shea-Porter has been unrespon-
sive to local and national economic
problems.
"I don't think it's fair to lay it at
any one person's feet," Terzakis
said. "But I do think it's fair to say,
'Where have you been? What have
you been doing to stem that tide?'
All we get is crickets."
Across the country, California
has a bankruptcy rate twice as high
as New Hampshire's, along with
much higher unemployment. But
only a few of its 53 congressional
races are competitive.
Rep. Bob Filner, a Democrat who
has been in office since 1993 and
represents a California district that
runs Mexico's border from subur-
ban San Diego to the Arizona state
line, is heavily favored for re-elec-
tion, drawing much of his support
from hard-hit Imperial County,
which is saddled with the nation's
highest unemployment rate - 30.4
percent in August.
Democrats have a 52-to-27-per-
cent edge over the GOP in voter
registration in the county, a farm
region known for growing lettuce,
spinach and broccoli.
Many of the places where eco-
nomic stress is worst are urban or
other areas that are heavily Demo-
cratic to begin with. As downtrod-
den as those voters are, they are
unlikely to vote for Republican chal-
lengers.
Richard Flowers, a retired power
plant operator who was born and
raised in Imperial County, remem-
bers voting only once for a Republi-
can - Richard Nixon for president
in 1968. Filner hasn't impressed him
much, but Flowers voted absentee to
give the congressman a loth term,
arguing that Republicans may make
the economy worse.
"Obama's been in office two years
and he's being blamed for not say-
ing, 'Abracadabra, everything's
perfect,"' Flowers said at Burgers &
Beer in El Centro, the county seat.
"Sometimes the devil you don't
know is worse."

From Page 1A
the offense, the change has been
noticeable - when you have the
NCAA's leading rusher, there's
no reason why your offense
shouldn't be racking up ridicu-
lous amounts of points.
That's all fine and dandy. Is
Robinson a once-in-a-decade tal-
ent? Yeah, probably. But can you
really argue that the rest of the
offense has been better around
him?
The run game, outside of Rob-
inson, has stalled in almost every
game, including a 43-yard effort
against Penn State - a team that
was absolutely decimated by
injuries in the front seven and
ranks 68th in the nation in rush
defense. Oh, and sophomore Vin-
cent Smith and junior Mike Shaw,
Michigan's two main backs, are
averaging just 79 yards combined
per game.
Receivers have dropped balls
on several occasions, and even
the offensive line isn't opening up
holes for Robinson like they did
in the Wolverines' five-game win
streak to open the season.
There seems to be plenty of
capable pieces on the field, they
just can't by any means find their
place in the puzzle - and simply
said, that's Rodriguez's fault.
Ha! And I almost forgot the
defense! ButI don't need to reit-
erate how bad they are, doI?
Because the sheer embarrassment
of seeing Michigan's secondary
out of position or Michigan's
linebackers missing tackles or
Michigan's defensive line not get-
ting any penetration or holding
contain on a walk-on quarterback
had to have been enough.
Greg Robinson and his defense
have clearly regressed this season.
And as much as that may not be
Rodriguez's fault, someone has
to be held accountable for the
defense and for Robinson's poor
coaching - that guy is the head
coach.
Brandon said himself that this
team's progress or Rodriguez's
job security won't be defined by a
specific number of wins and loss-
es. But it's hard to imagine;with
Robinson (the quarterback) being
the only visible improvement on
this team, that Rodriguez will
keep his job without at least two
wins the rest of the season. He
needs to show something that
Michigan fans, alumni, boosters
and Brandon haven't seen since
he came over from Morgantown
- a reason, aside from Robinson,
to feel optimistic.
Because it's hard to ignore the
epic, seven-game Big Ten slide
last year as it repeats itself in
2010.
Wins and losses for the rest of
the season should probably have
something to do with Brandon's
choice on Rodriguez's future
because he sure hasn't given me
a reason to believe things are on
the upswing.
And if that doesn't happen,
Brandon's goingto be answer-
ing a lot more questions from the
media. This time though, it will
be about a new coach.
