It's not the way the Drexel Dragons wanted to start the 2005 portion of the schedule. Starting off the Colonial Athletic Association with a record of 0-2 is not what a team with high conference expectations really wants. I've started 0-2 in this league before," men's basketball head coach Bruiser Flint said after the Dragons fell to Old Dominion Jan.
The Drexel women's basketball continued to exceed the league's expectations Dec. 29 when they defeated Rider by a blowout score of 70-51.

In an commentary titled "Democratic party lost luster in the past, now gradually gaining momentum, power" (The Triangle, 7 Jan. 05, p. 13), Brad Levinson takes pride in the court trials of the Washington state gubernatorial race when it produced a Democratic result.
