Institute WRITing Awards honor four students at luncheon

Once upon a time, a remote control came between two people. "She leaped like a tiger; I roared like a lion, struggling, Þghting, biting, clawing," writes biology student Andy K. Tao, Creative Writing Grand Prize winner of the 1996 Student Writing Contest. "Who will win? She or I?. . . We would fight for eternity. Until, I realized, I missed my favorite show. Until, she realized, she missed her favorite show. Violence never solved anything."
