There are four types of people who care about the Undergraduate Council (UC). First, there are friends of candidates who, during a week of presidential campaigning in December, strip down to nearly nothing and yell their friend’s name loudly while banging on a drum in front of the Science Center. Second, there are the venerable campus leaders themselves. Third, there are the reporters who for some reason cover them (comp The Crimson and this could be you!).

These represent increases of six and 4.5 years respectively on projections for the current crop of 50-year-olds. So how should we reconcile apparently being...
...Presidential Library & Museum opened in Springfield, Ill., last year with a talking Honest Abe hologram and a host of other educational parlor tricks. The Marine Corps museum, opening in Quantico, Va., near Washington in November, will use changes in temperature and humidity to immerse its visitors--and, it hopes, drum up recruits--in harrowing and heroic battlescapes ranging from the icy mountains of Korea to the sweltering jungles of Vietnam. Colonial Williamsburg is looking at supplementing the costumed re-creations that made it an early pioneer in that approach with Palm Pilots that visitors can point at various landmarks...
