Editor's Note: Since the publication of this story in September 2006, new information has arisen regarding the case in question. The allegations were proven false, the arrest was expunged, and subsequent police investigations and inquiries by Harvard's Administrative Board concluded that the claims made by the alleged victim in the subsequent story had no basis. At the time of these developments, The Crimson was not notified of the exoneration and therefore did not report on those developments. As such, we provide this note as a way of fully documenting the situation to its eventual conclusion...
...such enterprises came up in 1993 alone. The Chinese who have occupied Tibet for almost half a century may have failed to destroy it with their bulldozers and guns, but the Lhasa of old has nonetheless been developed to the point of extinction. One strategy that has proven particularly potent has been to triple the salaries of Tibetans working for the Chinese government, and then watch them construct gaudy "New Tibetan" houses that reproduce the features of the traditional Tibetan style, but are deracinated within...
...Labor wants to introduce an income test, denying such families the handout that has proven so versatile and so costly to the Budget's bottom line.

On the government's own figuring, lowering the eligibility limit to annual incomes under $A125,000 would save "less than $100 million." Each year the FTB system...
...High School to Sweet Valley University? Other installment series feature girls who seem eternally trapped in ninth grade—there is no sense of linear time, but there are a whole lot of winter semi-formals. The success of McCafferty’s three Jessica Darling novels has proven that not all college-bound English majors are brushing up on Chaucer the summer before they leave for school. The author was among the first to acknowledge the unprecedented level of obsession many American high school students have with the college admissions process—the flaws of which were...
...some hours of timely relaxation and unwinding just before the beginning of reading period. We hope the new College Events Board keeps Yardfest and the fall’s Harvard State Fair in mind as they begin to set an agenda for next year. In particular, the Yard has proven a great venue for these sorts of events, successfully bringing social life back to the University’s historic center. The aftermath of the concert found many of us enjoying the sight of long lost freshman year roommates and Core course section friends from semesters past. And indeed that...
