COLUMBIA An offensive line featuring four seniors and some experience at receiver are just a few of the things that first-year head coach Norries Wilson hopes will help Columbia avoid another last place finish in the Ivy League. Though the Lions’ 3-4 defense still has holes, depth at linebacker should help Columbia improve on its 0-7 Ivy campaign in 2005. The quick secondary should also keep teams from putting up 33.7 points per game, last in the league a year...
...sleep deprivation—the tongue-sagging, chin-dropping, drool-inducing sort that wells up after a good 30-hour stretch without sleep. Fortunately, there is rarely time in an undergraduate’s daily routine when another individual’s life is in his hands. But first-year medical residents—doctors-in-training who are in their first year out of medical school and working in hospitals—are not afforded that luxury. They traditionally work around-the-clock shifts each day and investment banking-worthy hours (without corresponding wages) over the course of each...
...need for intensive training for our next generation of doctors, it shouldn’t be so intensive that they injure their patients, or themselves, in the process. We echo Landrigan’s suggestions that hospitals must commit more resources and energy to reducing the load on their first-year residents, and if hospitals are unable to comply with the ACGME’s rules, then Congressional intervention may be necessary at some future date...
...physical expansion, planning a 250,000 square-foot building just north of Pound Hall. The new building, to be ready in three to four years, would contain a student center, classrooms, and space for clinical programs. Kagan also spoke about her efforts to review the curriculum, particularly the first-year program. Noting that nearly all law schools have had virtually the same first-year curriculum for the past 100 years—designed by Christopher C. Langdell, Class of 1850, who was Law School dean in the 1870s—Kagan said among that a greater emphasis on international...
...this point last year, the Harvard women’s volleyball team was preparing to defend its first-ever Ivy League title. Little did the Crimson expect the season that followed. After capturing the Harvard Invitational title to kick off the year, the young squad managed only one more victory the rest of the way, failing to win a single league match. The 2006 team retains the youthful tinge of last year, featuring five rookies and three sophomores. But having graduated only one player from last year’s roster, the Crimson (2-5) is more experienced and grittier...
