...move that initially drew concern from his chief subordinate, Undergraduate Council President Ryan A. Petersen ’08 will be living off campus in a Story Street apartment less than half a mile from the Yard. The UC leader and former Quincy House resident, who stayed in the apartment while doing coursework and attending to UC business this summer, cited a desire to live with two of his best friends as the reason for making the switch. In an interview yesterday, he said that he did not believe the move would affect his work with the student government...
...founder of Sperling’s BestPlaces, the firm that conducted the study, said yesterday that he was a bit surprised that Ivy League institutions did not fare better in the study. “I’m familiar with the level of attention and care and concern they give their students, so I would have expected their health centers to rate a little bit higher than they did,” Sperling said in an interview.

That could be an encouraging sign, but spine experts have seen enough spinal cord injuries to know that every case is different, and early...
...better equipment the answer? Yes and no. Responding to the growing concern over concussions on the field, helmet manufacturers have added aid bladders to cushion the head as well as support to the cheek, jaw and facemask areas. But nothing has yet been developed that can protect the spine, especially during a spear tackle. "The newer helmets are not going to significantly change the stress the neck sees as a result of a top-of-the-head blow," Andrew Tucker, team doctor for the Baltimore Ravens, says. "Right now, the prevention of these types of injuries lies in proper tackling...
