...downfall of much campus activism, and what makes it so infuriating and alienating to many, is that rather than appealing to rationality and logic, it appeals to emotions and volatility. A perfect example of this was HRL’s series of “Elena” posters last year. These posters began with a fertilized egg which proudly proclaimed to be Elena, excited to be “alive” and “unique;” but they did not provide real information to the readers other than pointing out that the zygote had chromosomes?...

But even with all those skeletons lurking below, the cemetery’s well-manicured lawns and gravestones make the place more sedate than scary. But it’s still the perfect destination for a late fall Halloween stroll. And if you’re so inclined, the online birding journal “Bird Observer” says that Mt. Auburn is a breeding ground for a startling variety of birds, including the white-breasted nuthatch and the brown-headed cowbird. Don?...
