...give credit for travel or study in 15 countries with stronger State Department travel warnings. We join the Staff in applauding the College’s decision, but we do not believe that this loosening goes far enough; travel policies should be made even more liberal. The current blanket restrictions for the 15 countries in question should have an exception procedure whereby students can apply to get credit and funding for travel and programs in restricted areas on a case-by-case basis. Such procedures already exist at peer institutions like Yale, whose system of restriction waivers allows students...
...twice about dragging your sad, drunk self back home to the Quad after a late night at the Kong. Instead, book it over to Lamont, your new home away from home. A few tips for a successful night: 1. Subtlety is key. Pad your overcoat with a lightweight fleece blanket, because your fluffy Little Mermaid sleeping bag and pillow may attract some unwanted attention. 2. Bring a high-quality eye mask.

Italian newspapers, however, are now reporting that Pope Benedict XVI had signed a somewhat less extreme "instruction." (See accompanying story.) But while awaiting that edict, the psychologists like Plante, who (among other things) help determine whether prospective seminarians are gay, have been drawn into a debate about...
...memories I can retrieve of nursery school and kindergarten are of afternoon naps after milk (which I didn't like) and cookies (which I did), curled up on a blanket on the floor of a classroom, often in a patch of sunlight coming through a window. It was so easy then to nap and wake up refreshed. I've had to relearn that process in my 60s--without the cookies...
