...immediately apparent on paper can be addressed. Problems with space allocation aside, Hilles’ transformation is an unquestionably positive development. It is commendable that the College and University are spending more than $6 million to renovate existing buildings in the first place, thereby allotting an unprecedented amount of extra space to the student body. That said, it was not the right decision to expel student groups from the basements of Yard dorms at all, and we are puzzled as to why increased space in Hilles must coincide with a reduction of space in the heart of the University.

Munro, the professor of Government 17 in 1928, suggests that the ample free time of reading period could damage the standing of already less competent students.

A starter kit, including one set of uppers, an insole and three sets of studs, costs $170, but the real revenue potential for Adidas, and retailers, lies in the add-ons: $80 for each extra upper and $40 for an additional insole. Adidas is about to launch 32 new uppers, with the colors and imprints of each World Cup nation--bright orange for the Netherlands, green and white for Iran--in the hope that they become collector's items. "There are endless opportunities for upsell," says...
