...build it, they will come--and all will be right with the world." So sayeth the Undergraduate Council regarding the construction of a new student center. In the past week, the council has mobilized with heightened intensity behind this perennial student cause, and while there is no reason to believe that this latest push will necessarily result in any greater success then past efforts, we are heartened by the zeal with which the council's new leadership has taken up the crusade. It goes without saying that this campus sorely needs a student center. Only 72 of 241 student groups...
...perfect place to live is no easy task. But here are seven places in the U.S. that you might not normally think of when you think of retirement. Our list avoids the obvious spots in Arizona and Florida, which continue to lure lots of retirees--and for good reason. But by 2001, when baby boomers will turn 50 at the rate of 1 every 6.8 seconds, you're probably going to be facing some stiffer competition as you scout for new territory.

One reason the Kurds may never get their state is that they covet pieces of four geostrategically important nations: Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Tibet is stuck as long as the world considers it folly to take on China...
Furthermore, as Mary Zeiss Stange points out in her 1997 book Woman the Hunter, there's no reason to rule out women's hunting with hard-edged weapons too, perhaps even of their own making. Among the Tiwi Aborigines of Australia, hunting is considered women's work, and until the introduction of steel implements, it was done with handmade stone axes the women fashioned for themselves. By putting women's work back into the record, the new female evolutionary scientists may have helped rewrite the biography of the human race. At least we should prepare to welcome our bold...
