But the intermediate appellate court took Steven's side, rejecting the notion that the embryos are human life and emphasizing the consent form that both Kasses had signed...
...students thought up their own traditions and expanded upon others. Unsatisfied with the anonymity of streaking at night, Franklin W. Huang '99 proposes that students "streak through Cabot library," where the bravest must "stop at every cubicle." Matthew S. Trent '00 suggests prolonging one's exposure to the unflattering glare of fluorescent lights by "studying naked in Lamont...
