Tonight's debate marks a critical stage in the neck-and-neck presidential race, and students should follow the debate closely.

Those who follow the rules most dutifully are the winners. Good luck, and enjoy the debates.
Take a drink every time Vice President Al Gore '69:
--says he will "fight for you."
--praises "working families" rather than non-working families.
--rails against "HMO bean-counters."
--describes a corporate entity or industry as "Big."
--recalls the Clinton legacy forgetting to mention Bill Clinton.
--contrasts "the people" and "the powerful."
