The truth, that's about standard.  When 2 kids go to Ivy league schools in
one family, the financial aid departments have a way of not giving you
enough.  That Duffus had the same problem is evidential proof that he got
hit with the same system the rest of us hate.  That's all Jeff is trying to
say.
 
If Duffus couldn't afford it, why didn't they make up the difference?  You
try getting them to do so.  They are, shall we say, difficult to deal with.
 
Enough financial.
 
Let's drop the puck - I'm gettin' antsy here.  The weather's cooling (at
least in Ithaca it is), school is starting, I'm ready.

changed.  The Cornell fans brought a lot of their chants and their
tradition to this building.  From then on, our crowd has taken off"
