...night, entrance fee = $60) might be out of the average college student's budget range, those whose bank accounts are still feeling the effects of a Spring Break-related splurge can partake in the wonder that is Spring Fashion Weekend. The majority of the events are, in fact, free. Makeup artist David Nicholas hosts an open house and high tea to introduce his spring/summer 2001 cosmetic line on Saturday, and Culture in the Courtyard (an open air group fashion show) takes place in the Boston Public Library’s courtyard on Saturday, featuring the styles of Alfred Fiandaca, Denise...
...binding, as Harvard would never cede its control over wages to an outside group, and the protesters may therefore worry that the committee’s conclusions will be determined in advance or, alternatively, ignored by the administration. The University can help allay this fear by discussing the makeup, agenda and timetable for the committee in advance; though the committee should be assembled within the next few weeks, the schedule of its meetings must accommodate the crucial student voice by waiting to start its work until the fall term begins. A properly constituted and well-designed committee process would offer...
...says Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford and a pioneer of mitochondrial DNA analysis. "There's now a much clearer sense that the genes we carry lived through the Ice Age, that our ancestors were hunting bison and reindeer with essentially the same genetic makeup we have today...
...mitochondria - cell organelles whose genetic makeup is determined by the mother alone - of all native Europeans except the Sami people of Northern Scandinavia reveal descent from one of what Sykes grandly calls "The Seven Daughters of Eve" (the title, incidentally, of his upcoming book to be published in June). He contends that these ancient matriarchs migrated to Europe from Africa via the Middle East or Asia as long as 50,000 years ago, and he has even assigned evocatively mythical names to each one: Ursula, Helena, Velda, Tara, Katrine, Xenia and Jasmine. He has also delineated rough population histories...
...Oxford Ancestors will be able to fill in the somewhat sketchier information for non-Europeans, for whom at least 30 further mitochondrial clans have been identified. In Africa, where human genetic variation is the highest, there are thought to be 14 of them. The noncombining elements of our genetic makeup strongly point to common ancestors there for all humans. Genealogy can't go any deeper than that...
