...President, whose pursuit of Catholic and Hispanic voters in his two campaigns once helped reshape his party, could be grateful for his guest's sensitive political instincts. In his greeting, the Pontiff did not mention the war, though he did call for "patient efforts of international diplomacy to resolve conflicts." The Pope will need to draw on all of that sensitivity. His visit came as many American Catholics remain livid over the church's recent pedophilia scandals. Benedict agreed in remarks to U.S. bishops that the issue had been "sometimes very badly handled"--the first real admission of the church...
...Nobel Prize-winning chemists,” Everett says. “[Students] should be exposed to the best of American music.” The benefits for students might seem obvious. Michael L. Schachter ’09, a pianist for the Monday Jazz Band, says that guest artists offer an opportunity to look at the music he plays in a different light. “I think it’s the perspective and being able to hear from someone who, rather than going the educational route or someone you see every day, being able to have...

And by inviting all these people to MoMA, now if they ever get arrested, they can point to this video and say that of course they're artists, they've been featured...

Students or their friends can use cash, Board Plus, or Crimson Cash to pay $7.88 for breakfast, $11.03 for lunch, and $13.65 for dinner, as well as $5.57 for continental breakfast (the morning equivalent of Brain Break). $13.65 for dining hall provender? We would fare better...
However, there exists an even better solution, considering that students may still subvert a cheaper payment plan and sneak their guests in. Several other schools offer a system of guest meals on the meal plan. Simmons College across the river, as well as larger institutions like Villanova and Georgetown University, allot a number of guest swipes for their dining halls to their students...
