...Health Initiative (WHI) report suggested that calcium pills offer only modest, if any, protection. I believe that supplemental vitamin D is more important than supplemental calcium. If you are getting enough vitamin D, particularly in early life, you should absorb calcium from foods efficiently. What is enough?

College administrators have laudably promised significant funding for the new program. Now, we hope that the SAB will recommend, and that University Hall will agree, that freshman can benefit from peer academic advising, but that it should remain separate from the social functions of a slightly modified, but already largely successful, prefect program...
