...responsible for selecting the students serving on Dowling II. The resolution, which states that the Council should “recommend and/or appoint” the five students belonging to Dowling II, stands in firm contradiction of the idea of impartial review. No institution should be able to pick its own review board, and any institution that does so risks looking inept at best and corrupt at worst. The UC should be no exception. If the administration allows the UC to choose its own reviewers, then Dowling II will be hijacked by the UC’s personal interest...
...pole dancing, though, that really convinced me. Performance artist Erin Markey started out with comedy, talking about trying to support herself after college by becoming a stripper.

This is no wild plan; in the U.K. researchers offer women reduced rates on fertility treatment if they agree to donate half their harvested eggs for research...
...hasty peace deal and the nomination of one of the rebels as a presidential advisor have led to an uneasy peace. In Sam Ouandja, the rebels, like headmaster Patrice, are scrabbling to make ends meet. Temporarily downing their Kalashnikovs, they pick up shovels and head to the mines in search of diamonds, before retiring to the marketplace in the afternoon to strut their stuff and show who is really in charge...
