...massive welcome-to-school e-mail from Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71, an op-ed in The Crimson, and a small signboard outside Canaday. These opening weeks of school—although understandably hectic for the 10 student interns who monitor the center along with its professional staff—are essential in forging relationships with new, and newly returned, students. What the Women’s Center has provided in its initial days are enormous amounts of free goodies, some of which will continue throughout the year: free coffee, tea, snacks, lip balm...
...high would be more effective, but it would also over-punish students for their carelessness (even though it is a harmful and inconsiderate sort of carelessness). And a fee that is too low would not serve as an effective deterrent. In any case, UHS officials should continue to monitor the dinka rate and students’ responses to paying the fee, and they should adjust the charge accordingly. We do have a particular concern in the implementation of UHS’s billing students. UHS currently plans to tack the fee onto students’ termbills, which is a reasonable...

So why do I do it? For the satisfaction, silly—the satisfaction of knowing that I am a part of something larger than myself. Which really means that I’m in it for the money, just like all the other study subject whores who trek to the ninth floor of William James Hall...
...occupational therapist, Captain Kathleen Yancosek, focused on how to isolate those muscles. Using a tool called "Myo-boy," Captain Katie strapped electrodes onto each of my forearm muscles and plugged the other end of a cord into a laptop computer. The object was to generate a spike on the monitor by flexing the right muscle. I jerked, twitched and turned my stump. Nothing happened. I pumped again, hunting for the right spot, but the monitor stayed blank. When I grew frustrated, Katie had me close my eyes to map the muscle in my mind. I contracted...
...opened my eyes and saw a tiny streak on the monitor. I squeezed, again, sending the spike higher. Unfortunately, as I kept practicing, the computer indicated that I was firing both muscles at the same time. I finally managed to distinguish one muscle from the other. But manipulating those tiny muscles was exhausting. My hospital gown was soaked in sweat...
