...already pouring out of Sanders Theater, sizing up a Positive Psych lecture that’s not even over. Packing up before professors finish speaking is the norm in many of Harvard’s large lecture halls. Of course, a few of these early departures face a marathon dash to Vanserg and have earned the right to leave. Most, however, choose to loiter outside just moments after dashing out. These people have nowhere to go, yet they are eager to get there all the same. Big lectures lend themselves to anonymity, and no one can hold you accountable...
...Brittan Smith’s amazing day, raking in three wins. With a long jump distance of 5.74 meters, Smith was just two centimeters short of her personal best, but still claimed the top spot. On top of that, her 7.76 second first-place time in the 60 meter dash was a season best, as was her 200 meter first-place finish time of 25.29. “It was really encouraging to see everyone go out and do so well,” Christensen said. Senior Danielle Mirabal took second in the 60 meter with a 7.81 second finish...
...capital city N'Djamena is that it was so long in coming. Every Chadian political dispute in the last 40 years has been settled by force of arms, and the latest conflict is running true to form.

...continued her string of strong performances by tying her season-high height in winning the high jump, clearing 1.75 meters. She was joined by junior Brittan Smith, who won the long jump with a 5.76 meter leap. Smith pulled double duty on the day, finishing fifth in 60-meter dash by finishing in 7.92 seconds. Three more event winners came on the men’s side, where senior Brian Holmquest won the 3,000 meters in 8:16.93, a personal best. Captain Alex Lewis won the long jump with a 6.79 leap, and freshman Sean Gil rounded...
...Still, he continued to seek out challenges. In 1958, as leader of a support team to Vivian Fuchs' planned crossing of Antarctica, he made a controversial dash by tractor to the South Pole, becoming the first person ever to reach it in a motor vehicle. In 1962 he began working to better the lives of the Sherpas who had so often helped him. His Himalayan Trust built schools and clinics and restored monasteries. The numbers of people - many almost totally reliant on Sherpa guides - who flocked to Everest in his wake left him uneasy. "Everest, unfortunately, is largely becoming...
