A University senate with more than symbolic power would only be an impediment to progress, slowing down the implementation of important decisions so they can be discussed at length by faculty members with already busy schedules—and that is assuming that the faculty agree with administration decisions. Inevitable disagreement will stifle necessary change in some crucial areas as has been the case with the FAS-controlled College curricular review, which has proceeded for three and a half...

For the most part, the girls on the bus are conservatively dressed, hair prim and shoulder-length or tied up in ponytails. The accessories of choice are gossip rags, shopping bags, and Starbucks cups. The girls in the very back giggle over the child actors in the “The Pacifier.” Other riders chat softly or fiddle with their iPods. The scene could be mistaken for a ride...
