...from concentrators and senior thesis writers. To address the need, Expos has committed more funds to the Center to add more tutorial hours; furthermore, the program has recruited and funded advanced graduate students as Departmental Writing Fellows to help students with discipline-specific writing in the concentrations. For this pilot year, the Fellows are currently in History and Psychology, and we hope to create two more Fellowships in two of the eight tracks in Life Sciences. Conceivably, many more departments could institute such Fellowships...
Last year, The Crimson briefly faced some extra competition. Thanks to a pilot project sponsored by the Undergraduate Council (UC), several copies of The New York Times were delivered to each dining hall every morning, allowing students to read America’s paper of record as they grabbed a bite on the way to class. These few newspapers pierced the proverbial “Harvard bubble” and sparked plenty of breakfast table discussions of issues of national and global concern. And undergraduates responded: the UC received more than 350 notes from students who enjoyed being able...
...electricity, and that would be rugged enough to function in often harsh conditions. Prototypes of the laptop (dubbed XO) - with built-in video and audio, a hand-crank and low wattage requirements - are getting high marks from technology reviewers. Some 8,000 units are up and running in pilot villages from Cambodia to Uruguay. But perhaps an even more difficult task was to generate enough mass interest in the project to allow the computer to be produced on such a vast scale that costs could be kept down. The program's chief education officer, Argentine neurology professor Antonio Battro...
...them snacks and cold drinks and answer questions about how an aircraft works. (One pupil recently asked if there was a horn to tell the other planes to get out of the way in traffic.) In a nod to a more innocent time, passengers are free to visit the pilots in the cockpit. "We are fulfilling life wishes," says Gupta. "We want people to have a good time, to inspire them, so that kids see that if they study hard they might become a pilot...
EVERYONE WAS EXPECTING him to sit and watch from the sidelines. But moments after the Green Bay Packers' first-string receiver separated a shoulder, Max McGee was forced to borrow a teammate's helmet before racing onto the field. The former Air Force pilot made history that day, catching the first touchdown pass in Super Bowl history--leading the Packers to a 35-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in 1967. After 12 seasons, McGee retired, refocusing his energy on Chi-Chi's, the Mexican-restaurant chain he co-founded, which operated throughout the U.S. until 2004. He died...
