...Still, no such program exists on a wide-scale basis for undergraduates. Regardless of the ultimate details of such a program, the need for a public service specific loan-repayment program is clear.

Perhaps more importantly, it may even encourage students to take two years off and do charitable work before entering the for-profit workforce. Ultimately, it would allow some of our most crucial social institutions to have intelligent, motivated and driven college-graduates in their ranks...
Moran, who spent sleepless nights going over this week's tips, agrees that the "ideal" way to chase suspects is through "proper, normal, investigative" channels. But he says eliciting leads from civilians is a "new front in the war" against sexual predators, one that he expects will continue to be effective because of a collective empathy for the well-being of children.

In a culture where “friend” has become a verb, the acquisition of another recognizable acquaintance translates to enhanced social capital. Or does it? The Penn State study found that, once someone had more than 800 friends, people started deeming him insecure. It’s unclear how 800 became...
...entered the series as South Division Champions and held the best record in the Ivy League. Princeton will continue on at the NCAA tournament. For three members of the Harvard softball team, Saturday’s games were their last. Although ending with a loss is never ideal, seniors Amanda Watkins, Danielle Kerper, and captain Shelly Madick finished their careers in a league championship series.“The seniors gave everything they had, and I think the team gave everything they had this year,” Harvard coach Jenny Allard said. “I think to finish...
