Friends in odd places

The following is a clip from a June 1 Chicago Tribune article about close associates of House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert. I had no idea that my alma matter's Athletic Director was such a pal to Denny. Who knew?

Keep Our Majority Political Action Committee, or KOMPAC is directed by McGovern for an annual salary of $144,000. Longtime Hastert friend, Tom Jarman, the athletic director at Manchester College in Indiana, is on the payroll, as well, though Jarman serves mainly as a traveling companion to Hastert on campaign swings for other congressmen.
