...Middle East, to allow its female citizens to participate in political life. Saudi Arabia is the only country in the Gulf that entirely excludes women from the political process, although full equality is still a long way off in most of the region. Opponents of the Kuwaiti reform lament that the country will soon lose its traditions. "This vote is against the will of the Kuwaiti people. It aims at changing the identity of the society," said Waleed al-Tabtabai, a parliamentarian strongly opposed to the law. Al-Sabah has indicated that he will appoint women to his cabinet...
...Others lament that they are lumped with fundamentalist Christian groups--whether or not they agree with them. Protesters from Old Paths Baptist Church in Campbellsburg, Ind., 50 miles from Indiana's Bloomington campus, have come to the school weekly, toting posters of aborted fetuses and shouting anti-gay slogans. A picketer spotted Greek InterVarsity member Samantha Schein wearing an Alpha Phi sorority sweat shirt and told her that she lived in a "house of sin."

Barnes’ newfound dance fever forces him to boil down “Forecast Fascist Future,” leaving a heady vocal lament and chugging guitars that amble and reverse but never outstay their welcome. Skipping vocal samples, hysterically-burbling keys, and glitchy drum tracks lend a thrilling dash of claustrophobia to “So Begins Our Alabee” and “The Party’s Crashing Us,” and rubbery...
...COFHE results show that beyond sorry social lives, Harvard students are dissatisfied with the lack of student-professor relations. As we often lament, Harvard places such an emphasis on the research side of academia that many professors neglect to engage their students. Given the existing expanded Faculty of Arts and Sciences of 672 professors and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences William C. Kirby’s intention to expand to 750 by 2010, it is critical that the administration recruits Faculty members that will be dedicated to both teaching and research. While the importance of the latter...
