RECRUITING Running newspaper help-wanted ads and contacting employment agencies are nowhere near enough these days. More and more companies are turning to job fairs, where firms set up booths to tout opportunities to anyone who wanders by.

Perhaps it is time to go beyond the perfunctory erratum and re-evaluate some of The Crimson's editorial policies to see whether institutional changes can be made...
...This micro-park just behind the Peabody Museum is a lovely refuge. A grille, picnic tables and benches take care of summer needs for even the least natural naturalist. The biggest draw is the beautifully landscaped park itself. Its pretty foliage promises a quiet and restful haven for anyone who happens to wander...
