...suicide rate of Harvard undergraduates is less than the statistical average for this age group, and Harvard students are far more sophisticated than the average college student in making use of counseling and other mental health services. We have what is probably the largest and most active mental health service of any university in this country, and it is fully utilized by all parts of the student population. Most of the time we work with individual students, helping them understand and cope with problems of relationships, careers and becoming individuals. We are also actively involved in working indirectly with peer...
Last spring, The Crimson published a series of articles which reported an alarming increase in the number of chlamydia cases treated at University Health Services (UHS) in the first three months of 1998. This prevalence rate exceeded the figure provided for the greater Boston area by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. With over 60 percent of students on campus reporting sexual activity (Aids Education & Outreach survey, Fall 1998), the response to this report was surprisingly muffled...
These incentives to expand help create cities that widen much faster than their populations grow. Between 1990 and 1996, metro Kansas City spread 70%, while its population, now 1.9 million, increased just 5%. In that period greater Portland, Ore., spread just 13%, the same growth rate as its population, now 1.7 million. For a long time Portland has been the laboratory city for smart growth. In 1979, as part of its compliance with a groundbreaking statewide land-use law, Portland imposed a "growth boundary," a ring enclosing the city proper and 23 surrounding towns...
Books by people seduced and betrayed by the President are coming out of Washington at the rate of one a week. Just as Monica's Story was hitting No. 1 on the best-seller list, George Stephanopoulos uncorked All Too Human: A Political Education, an account of his years at Clinton's side. While it is a good read--galloping through the 1992 campaign and Clinton's bumpy first term--it will be known as the latest example of disloyalty at the top, an attempt to cash in on trickle-down celebrity with an instant book...
...researchers who "discovered" dyssemia estimate about 10 percent of all children suffer from some form of it. (When I look around this campus, I'm forced to conclude that the rate here is much higher.) The treatment regimen involves teaching these children the social skills that they lack through the use of supervised play groups. A therapist will observe a group of kids interacting and gently encourage them to behave more in accordance with normal expectations. Essentially, the therapist tries to make the child more likable...
