Then they tested the sutures in mice, and got 100% protection against infection for at least five days, even when the animals were...
Magraw has argued that students ought to be represented on Faculty Committees like the Committee on Houses and the CEP. He also feels that the HUC should absorb some of the activities of "a plethora of organizations [the CRIMSON, PBH, SDS] all fulfilling functions which are in the domain of student government." Glimp calls the first of these suggestions "unrealistic," and the second is impossible to legislate formally...
