While President Bush’s $3.1 trillion-budget increases funding for higher education with an eye toward financial aid, the proposal freezes funding for the areas of scientific research that matter most to Harvard. “This proposed increase in Pell Grant funding is welcome news,” said Kevin Casey, Harvard’s senior director of federal and state relations. “But I think the budget overall for higher education is a mixed bag.” Casey cited the zero-increase in funding for the National Institute of Health...
...implement it efficiently and without long lines. The present BoardPlus system could be easily extended into dining halls to make payment easy. Others might protest that the program would be biased against students with less money, but the College could simply include a meal allowance in its financial aid packages.

While the number of people eating in the dining halls would probably decrease if our unfair meal plan were eliminated, the increased quality of food and service should draw...
...confined to big cities and campuses, the famous study, Middletown, by Robert and Helen Lynd, found otherwise. By the middle of the decade, their typical American town (Muncie, Ind.) was in full sexual bloom.

The fellowship is aimed at fostering artistic projects that relate to a student’s course of study or aid his interdisciplinary work. Last year, the Office for the Arts (OFA) awarded the fellowship to a dozen students in concentrations ranging from VES and Music to Linguistics and Chemical and Physical Biology.Receiving the fellowship last year changed the academic and professional perspective for Madelyn...
Yelena S. Mironova ’10 thinks that if everyone always said what they thought, the world would be a huge New York subway station, and no one would like that. Polite half-statements are the kool-aid that keeps everyone’s tongues as bright as their spirits, and their minds blissfully unaware of their neighbor’s intentions to step on their head in the climb up the social/academic/banking ladder. Her cartoons will, hopefully, be a bit less confusing than the blurb you just read, and maybe a bit more uplifting. Judge for yourself...
