Before sweeping into power in both chambers of the U.S. Congress, the Democratic Party promised to improve access to higher education for all Americans. Once empowered to dictate the congressional docket, the House Dems swiftly and emphatically passed a bill that promises to cut the interest rate on federally-backed student loans to 3.4 percent from 6.8 percent. There are few things to which politicians pay more lip service than higher education, but as with most issues, when it actually comes down to choosing a course of action, consensus proves hard to reach. After years of lagging federal spending...
...House with the highest response rate, Harvard should rethink how to make the CUE most useful to students and use a stick to hold those accountable who do not participate. With that in mind, we propose that Harvard abandon the print edition model of the CUE and restrict access to the online edition only to those who had filled out their CUE forms the semester before (or pro-actively opted-out) and to new students. In addition, Harvard should post verbatim feedback of students—edited only for profanity and obscenity—directly on the online edition. Such...
...the lawyers of ancient Rome who came up with the modern definition of fatherhood: Mater semper certa est; pater est quem nuptiae demonstrant (rough translation: The mother is obvious; the father is the one she was married to when the child was born). The Romans, however, didn't have access to genetic testing. Dylan Davis did.

The negative test results...
That's the idea behind the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA). Launched in September with $100 million from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the atlas is the first Web-based, public-access database of all 20,000 or so genes expressed in the mouse brain. Want to know where in the brain a specific gene is active? The ABA has it, in vivid three-dimensional color. Curious about what types of brain cells are actively expressing a particular gene? The atlas provides molecular-level data that tell you. "Even though it's a mouse project, it really is a wonderful resource...
...houses will obviate these students’ sense of alienation from their classmates. If the reason for developing the houses near the athletic fields rather than in the second-phase location across Weeks footbridge (a location much nearer to the other river houses) is, as stated, easier shuttle access, then the future shuttle system must run regularly and reliably. Further, the University must make good on its plans to create a new student center. Kathy Spiegelman, Chief Planner for Harvard’s Allston development group, said that the master plan proposes that if the University decides affirmatively to relocate...
