...burden of balancing school and squash—intercollegiate and beyond— increased even more this year with her election as co-captain. But Hall is determined not to let her game slide any more, after her ranking slipped two spots since starting college and a poor showing at nationals last year...
...woman’s right to choose in the United States. The days of back-alley, illegal abortions have been history since 1973, but with an anti-choice president in the White House and an anti-choice Congress behind him, those past horrors could once again surround us.

Other factors affect the ice sheet's stability. One of the most important is the balance between the rate at which the ice sheet is growing (because of snowfall) and the rate at which it is shrinking. An ice sheet is, in essence, a viscous plateau, and under the burden of its own weight it is ever so slowly sliding downhill. Because of variations in underlying terrain, however, its slide is not uniform. In the Ross Sea sector, for example, ice is most efficiently conveyed out of the ice sheet's interior by ice streams, which spill onto the Ross...
Preregistration inherently works to limit the amount of classes that students will visit. The administrative burden of filing add/drop forms may limit students’ interest in enrolling in many classes.

Simultaneously, students may feel unspoken obligations...

Students already have intense mid-semester workloads; this proposal would further burden them with researching and choosing classes for a semester that is still two vacations away. Furthermore, success—or lack thereof—in the current semester commonly dictates the classes one takes in the next. For instance, first-years often decide their concentration based how well they enjoy their fall classes. Preregistration undermines the effectiveness of student decisions by providing insufficient information about their...
