There are signs of improvement, if not a quantum leap. Four years ago, the team lost by an average of 60 points, dropping games with scores like 108-16 and 127-32. This season Caltech lost by 29 points per game, took two league opponents into overtime and, for the second consecutive year, won a nonleague game (the team bounced Gallaudet in December). "We've had two straight winning seasons," brags Haussler, before correcting himself. "O.K., two seasons with a win." He laughs. "The paradigm is just different around here...
...Like leap years and the Summer Olympics, Ralph Nader’s presidential bids appear quadrennially with unfailing reliability. In every presidential election since 1992, Nader has thrown his hat into the ring, hoping his long-shot candidacy will reshape the American political landscape. Last Sunday, we found out that 2008 will be no exception, as that esteemed elder statesman of presidential politics (at 74 years of age he makes John McCain look youthful) announced that he would enter the fray once more...
...Brittan Smith has vastly improved from last year’s campaign. At the HYP meet—which pitted traditional Heptagonal rivals Harvard, Yale, and Princeton—the California native collected wins in the 60 meter dash, 200 meter dash, and long jump with a 5.74 meter leap, 24 centimeters longer than her Hep finish last year.

Freshmen Jessica Fronk and Dina Emde rounded out the Crimson effort with 5.12m and 4.44m jumps for eighth and 17th place finishes, respectively. Stanton and classmate Clara Blattler finished in a three-way tie with AirTime Athletic’s Ashley Nolet atop the pole vault finishers by clearing...
While these steps are laudable, it is time for Harvard to make the leap and commit to climate neutrality. Failure to do so will put us at risk of losing our position as a climate change leader to the hundreds of schools currently crafting comprehensive plans for climate neutrality. Such a commitment will not be easy, but it is possible and necessary. With green building, energy efficiency, conservation, and renewable energy development, Harvard can reduce its effective emissions to zero...
