...operation of [the cafe] will be entirely student-run,” said Crista Martin, HUDS’ assistant marketing director. “This is a great experience for students at running a business that’s devoted to their community.” Student reaction to the new cafe was almost overwhelmingly positive. With the new cafe, “people won’t have to sneak food in,” Jennifer Yan ’09 said. Ari R. Hoffman ’10 sat down to read a book almost immediately after...
...Papal Fallibility The extreme reaction of Muslims to an obscure 14th century quotation by Pope Benedict XVI serves only to demonstrate their fanatical bent [Sept. 25].

PROVIDENCE—As many Brown fans were seen straggling into Stevenson Field during the second half of Saturday’s soccer showdown with Harvard, several voiced the same reaction upon seeing the scoreboard: “Oh my God.”In the first 12 minutes of play during that second frame, the Harvard men’s soccer team scored three goals en route to a 6-2 rout of the favored No. 14 Bears (8-3-1, 2-1-1 Ivy). Saturday’s win put the Crimson...
