...Sundquist ’09 have taken a no-nonsense approach. Their slogan, “It’s about students, It’s about time,” urges their supporters to forget about the UC and all its bureaucracy, focusing instead on effecting change. In blatant opposition to the Hadfield-Goldenberg campaigners, their supporters chant “we’re not talking about the UC, we’re talking about real change.” Most infamously thus far, the Tim R. Hwang ’08 and Alexander S. Wong...
...rights trickles down to the children who are often under women's care. "I saw a nine-year-old girl, who had just tested HIV-positive two weeks ago," continues Kim. "I had never seen a CD4 count so low; I could not believe she was still walking without blatant evidence of infection. I tried to impress upon her father the urgency of the situation, the full import of such an immunocompromised state, the dire need for ARVS, urging him to return as soon as possible for adherence counseling with a second caregiver.

High-ranking Vatican sources say Benedict will avoid repeating the Islam-and-violence trope in any form as blatant as Regensburg's. Instead, suggests Father Thomas Reese, a senior research fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center in Washington, an independent nonprofit institute at Georgetown, the Pope may take a less broad-brush approach to the issue by repeating his sentiment from Cologne: "He could say, 'You, like me, are concerned about terrorism' and he would like to see Islamic clerics be more up front condemning it."

...Don’t succumb to a feud between libertarians who blame the midterm losses on social conservatives and social conservatives who feel overlooked and taken for granted. The episodes of blatant pandering to either side—e.g. Halliburton favoritism and Terri Schiavo interventionism—that were rightly condemned by liberals as well as by many conservatives were driven as much or more by a cynical leadership trying to buy support for upcoming elections as by the intended beneficiaries themselves. The Republican Party’s coalition of libertarians, social conservatives, and national defense voters is a winning...
...particularly valued because it leaves party-planning in the hands of eager students. The UC has a list of reasonable regulations that a party must meet to be funded, including that it must be advertised. But incidents like the Cabot N-33 fraud—a blatant example, but hardly the only one—demonstrate that the UC needs to tighten its oversight. Right now, 20 percent of party grant recipients are audited and required to produce receipts. These receipts are scrupulously checked for costs and dates of purchase, but the other 80 percent are never even seen. While...
