...accounts, Bok is already tackling the most urgent of those issues—the search for someone to fill Kirby’s post, which opens up on July 1. “He told us that he is starting right now to work on the search,” McCarthy said...
...selling point of the CEV is its versatility. If the spacecraft is ready by its 2011 starting point and the moon trips indeed don't start until 2018, that means seven years of downtime. Astronauts could fill part of that gap flying shakedown trips to the International Space Station. After the U.S.'s moon presence is re-established, the CEV could become a central player in eventual Mars missions. "The spacecraft would have to evolve for the different demands of a Mars flight, particularly the higher re-entry speed," admits Horowitz. The basic design, however, would remain the same...
...presumed that the benefits to advising from pre-assignment would consist of improved freshman access to the House tutor system—a wrong-headed argument if ever there was one.

By pre-assigning freshmen to Houses, Harvard would at last begin to take advantage of its existing geographic community building possibilities, in a way that would both improve the freshmen advising and residential experience and foster House community...
When freshmen arrive on campus, another upperclassman from their respective Houses should be assigned as a big brother or big sister to their entryways. This big sibling would fill the void left by the Prefect program in residential life by organizing social activities like study breaks and brunch outings and by working with the entryway’s proctor to ensure the well being of their shared charges. But unlike the Prefect Program, this big sibling would serve as a conduit for freshmen to the House they in which they would live after their freshman year. Brunches, for example, would...
...from just any university, mind you. This is, of course, Harvard.You see, the athletes here don’t have it so bad. Like the other members of the Ivy League, the university does not give out athletic scholarships. We see few programs scrambling to fill up their rosters, and with even with no scholarships to be revoked, few athletes are quitting teams. A recruited student-athlete at Big State U might not have as much pressure to perform in the classroom as does a student here, but, when his spot at that university hinges on his performance...
