That's a core goal of CSAS--to remind you that your food originates in some place other than a grocery store. There are now some 1,200 csa farms in the U.S., according to the Robyn Van En Center at Wilson College in Pennsylvania. Van En helped start the first American csa at her Massachusetts farm in 1985 after hearing about the idea of farm shares from a Swiss friend. (You can find a csa near you at sites like localharvest.org...

...they male, female, or transgender. In fact, some students of different genders already live together completely harmoniously either in contravention of official policy or by opening fire doors between rooms. Moreover, concerns that have been raised about sexual assault ring hollow—colleges, such as the University of Pennsylvania, that have already moved to gender-neutral housing have not experienced increases in sexual assaults. According to current rules, gender-neutral suites must have locks on each bedroom door. While we believe this rule is unnecessary, the College should take the necessary steps to provide gender-neutral housing to every...
