If you have any ideas, feel free to drop your smiles and frowns in box 2700 and we'll print them next time the column appears.

8^) to former Chicago Hope star Mandy Potenkin for leaving the show. His reason? To be with his family. What a guy...

8^) to SocComm for putting on a really great show this week - Top Gun on the Quad. If you missed it, you get a 8^( ...
