...banned. And in his latest, Praying Mantis, which appeared August, South Africa's leading writer in Afrikaans harks back to the 18th and 19th centuries for a conscience-stricken novel about Cupido Cockroach, a character who despite his colorful name is based on a real historical figure. After a hell-raising youth, Cupido converts to Christianity and becomes the first "Hottentot", or Khoi, missionary ordained in the Cape region. The passionate new recruit is sent to proselytize in a remote area - where the church cruelly forgets him, plunging him into near-fatal hardship. As in more than a dozen other...

Yet few other HoCos can satisfy their obligations to their House community, such as themed events, Stein clubs, and House formals, and still have the resources...
...well beyond the tolling of Memorial Church bells. The length of class will not be changed, just shifted. At this point, the question becomes how to get this noble idea off of paper and into practice. Good question. I certainly don’t trust the student body (or, hell, myself) to take on such a responsible initiative. That leaves the faculty. Let them, starting now, coordinate to start lectures on the hour on the dot. Students will gradually follow, and slowly if reluctantly shift their habits. It might be painful at first, but I think it?...
