...believe that Harvard admissions are based purely on academic merit, I would assign incredible naivety. The Harvard admissions process seeks to select a diverse group of interesting and talented people in a variety of areas: music, drama, public service, background, business, writing and, yes, sports. This broad emphasis is not at all a bad thing and it is a part of what makes Harvard the amazing place it is. Universities that accept students based on pure academic ability alone can never offer the environment that allows Harvard students to grow and develop the way they do outside of the classroom...
Choosing friends is one of the greatest—though scariest—things about college. So go out there and introduce yourself. Get some digits. See what you have in common (or not) with others around you, and don’t assign some false value to groups that seem impenetrable.

The temporary designation of the new moon, 1985 Ul, seems rather prosaic when compared with Uranus' five other satellites: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. But that should change this summer when the International Astronomical Union meets to assign permanent names to new discoveries. The I.A.U. might have its work cut out for it. Astronomers think Voyager may soon spot as many as 18 more Uranian moons...
