...Literature and Arts C. (Only two Lit and Arts C course will be offered in the fall, and only three will be offered in the spring.)It is disappointing that the Committee on General Education recommends that members of the class of 2012 continue under the Core. With the debut of a slate of Gen Ed offerings, this advice to freshman is essentially a vote of no confidence in the brand new program. Attempts to ease the transitional burden further highlight the lack of a substantive difference between the two programs. When every Gen Ed course either counts for Core...

...presented with the unfolding complexity of an ambitious woman, one prepared to be Spending Less Time with Her Family, to play by the boys' rules, to break the glass ceiling Clinton softened for her. I couldn't help thinking as I watched Palin's debut that she was the most macho candidate we've seen in years, the point guard turned sportscaster aiming her M-16, shooting her moose, taking on the good-old boys. And yes, balancing BlackBerry and breast pump, with a beautiful family that includes a son heading to Iraq, a pregnant teenage daughter...
