...homosexuality has changed dramatically over the past century. In 1920, the University, under the leadership of Abbott L. Lowell, Class of 1877, established a secret court to discover and expel homosexuals within the community. During the 1950s, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Wilbur J. Bender ’27, tried to improve the admission office’s “ability to detect homosexual tendencies and serious psychiatric problems.” Now, sexual orientation is again becoming a controversial subject for elite college admissions officers. The LGBT interest group Campus Pride has proposed...

A new modeling approach used in this week's study remedies that problem, he says, and suggests that Category 4 and 5 storms will become relatively more common by 2100 - with the important caveat that the change will not become clearly detectable until the second half of the century. The locus of the biggest increase, continues Bender...
...authors warn that their findings, while important, are not the final word and must be validated by others. Bender, Knutson and their colleagues ran the simulation using an average of 18 climate models at once, then reran it with four models individually. One of the models, Bender says, showed a decrease in the most powerful storms, demonstrating once again that the effects of climate change are complex and not easily predicted...
...Engineers came out hot to start the second half, as Billy Bender knocked down a long ball from the corner to cut the Crimson’s lead to six. Lin countered with a full-court layup and then forced a steal moments later. The star guard raced up the court and found sophomore Oliver McNally as he streaked to the basket for the easy layup, extending the lead...
