...salvage the space, the University ended up giving students an ugly, poorly utilized embarrassment. While many colleges have built impressive student centers to dramatically enhance campus life and attract new students, for too long Harvard has managed to use its prestigious name to get away with below-par campus offerings. As the competition between universities for the top students inevitably increases, Harvard will soon be forced to reconcile its long inadequate approach to student life. A new student center in Allston, which has begun to seem increasingly possible, is by no means a gift to the student body...
...moccasins arriving on the fashion foot scene. These trendy little pairs have replaced loafers and Pumas on chic females. Although they’ve been around since early fall, mocs are still going strong, despite rain and light snow. Perhaps it is their Native American tradition of winter wear par excellence...
...everyone in Ann Arbor is enthusiastic about Fornero's approach to narrowing the achievement gap. Some white residents have complained that the efforts to bring black students up to par will divert resources from other students.

Printed with purple ink on off-white paper, artists who use softer mediums like pencil have had their details either not come through or else had their subtle shades turned into uniform, mushy blobs. The publisher assures me that a second, superior print will arrive in January but copies of the first have already arrived in chain stores (including Amazon) and will not be replaced. You are advised to wait a while before seeking the book out and to avoid getting...
...gimmicky as to name themselves after their gimmick would have a similar problem following up a disc like Give Up, and with the added pressure of licensing with the U.S. government, I could see how we might not see a release up to the debut’s par for a long time. More, though, there’s something that just strikes me as wrong when I imagine the Postal Service band performing corporate gigs for the USPS. It might be something about what they wear: uniformity has never been a praised attribute of the indie circles. Your laudation...
