...publishing their dissertations has jeopardized the careers of a whole generation of scholars in many fields. It would be naïve to assume that a positive vote by the FAS on February 12 would force publishers to slash their prices. But by passing the motion we can begin to resist the trends that have created so much damage. Of course, we faculty members do not pay the high cost of journals ourselves. We expect our libraries to do it—with all the negative consequences that I have mentioned. The motion before the FAS provides...

The longer that anyone-but-McCain voters have an option in the primary voting booth, the less likely...
...parade ended at The New College Theater for the Woman of the Year roast. Sitting in the middle of the theater, Theron listened to hosts Evan W. Eachus ’08, president of the Pudding, and David J. Andersson ’09, vice president of the cast, begin their presentation. Theron held a pink stuffed animal, but she soon flung it at the duo when they began to recall her earliest work as an actress. Eachus and Andersson then called Theron to the stage and asked her to identify an alien among three Pudding actors?...
