Rivalry

School rivalry goes beyond football. USC just lured away UCLA's top two neuroscientists! Promised more lab support etc. Dozens of grad students are following them.

Not a new story. In the 70s Utah State lured U of O's famed folklore professor over similar issue, more support for archive. My wife had just finished Ph. D. with him or would have followed, as a few grad students did.

We all thought it was shameful that Oregon lost a top prof to ... Utah State!
