...order to have visitors, students must obtain a three-day guest pass 24 hours ahead of time. Guests of the opposite sex must be signed in by a co-host of the same sex. Under the new policy proposed by Dean Kenneth Elmore, the process of registering an overnight guest visit will be quicker. A three-day guest pass will no longer be required except for the eight largest residences. Students will also gain access to dorms between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. the next day. Rose L. Weiner, a junior at BU who moved off campus her sophomore year...
...kind of courtesy that was apparently reserved for such overnight guests. A recent Washington Post exposé revealed that some wounded soldiers were placed in outpatient facilities plagued by mice, mildew and mismanagement. It's a shocking account, and not only for ordinary Americans who know Walter Reed by its spit-shine, high-tech image. An embedded TIME reporter who lost a hand in a grenade attack, I was treated at the hospital as a patient from Dec. 16, 2003, to Jan. 8, 2004. From my home in Washington, I returned regularly as an outpatient over the next 18 months...
Miraculous new communications technologies have suddenly appeared, transforming everyday life. Everything is moving discombobulatingly fast. Globalization accelerates. Wall Street booms.

Both major American political parties seem pathetically unable...
...changing those sort of attitudes may take more than just a fare increase. "You cannot expect these people to change overnight," concedes Rakesh Agarwal, a spokesman for NyayaBhoomi. "We realize that now. This behavior is ingrained into their DNA." Enforcing regulations might help, but the Delhi transport authority seems less than enthusiastic about policing faulty meters and following up complaints about rude drivers. According to the Hindustan Times newspaper there are currently more than 71,000 complaints pending against "errant auto drivers", more than the total number of auto rickshaws in all of Delhi. Last year authorities inspected fewer than...
...interested in using the space when my records of room reservations prove that student organizations are requesting rooms at the SOCH just as frequently as they are asking for bookings in Emerson or Harvard Hall. No one ever boasted that the SOCH would become a thriving student center overnight. But the space gets busier every day, and the Student Organization Center at Hilles is already an often and highly requested venue. If room requests for SOCH space continue at anything like their current rate, I predict that Dean McLoughlin may find his allotted three to four year growth period...
