...imposed bans on travel to Mexico, and some international flights carrying passengers who complained of flu symptoms have even made emergency landings at the nearby major cities. Yet, in the midst of the panic surrounding the outbreak of the disease, which has appeared in several probable cases on the campus of the School of Dental Health, Harvard’s reaction to swine flu addresses what is surely a major concern in a calm and rational...

Our fellow students are living every day on this campus in fear, and the DREAM Act is the only chance they have at freedom. Before the end of this semester, President Drew Faust should voice public support for the DREAM Act and pledge to use any means necessary to get the DREAM Act passed...
