...paper on campus. It is with a heavy heart that I support this program, which is informally called the “door-drop waste reduction program.” In short, this program assumes that, in many instances, paper use equals paper waste. Consider this comparison: Suppose the average student reads three articles a day in The Crimson, spending a total of 15 minutes doing so. Apply this assumption to the approximately 6400 students on campus over 200 weekdays per academic year. The result? 320,000 hours spent reading The Crimson per year. If all that reading were done...
...from the semen that is sprayed on their faces in a mocking and malicious spirit—one’s face is, after all, the place of personality, so what better thing to plaster over with ejaculate if the objective is degradation? Caldwell’s comparison to fast-food workers doesn’t quite hold up. Caldwell calls Dines’ anti-porn stance “a strange collision of puritanical morality and radical politics,” but Dines’ speech was far from puritanical. She said repeatedly that she is not anti...

It will be Ringo's first rooftop performance since the Beatles' final gig atop London's Apple Studios in January 1969. That day, enveloped in a scarlet coat and insulated by his thick mane...
...they may be, comedy is no laughing matter in much of the Middle East, where the censors of autocratic regimes keep watch for criticism disguised as satire. (A woman I once met in Syria was jailed for forwarding an e-mail joke about that country's President.) But by comparison, in Lebanon, which hardly has a government, almost anything goes. Indeed, the Axis of Evil arrived just in time to coincide with a season of political farce being performed in Lebanon's parliament, which - deadlocked between factions backed by Iran and by the U.S. - has been unable to replace...
...yesterday, 2,011 undergraduates had voted in the election—a figure paling in comparison to the 3,519 that had entered the polls by the end of the voting period last year. Final voting numbers for the UC presidential elections have only dipped below 3,000 twice since 1997, with the lowest turnout being the 2,462 that went to the polls...
