...intoxicated during their social events. Students were generally pleased to see sensible proposals get translated into sensible policies within a reasonable amount of time.The UC deserves credit for forging a better relationship with the Dean of the College this year, one that helped facilitate positive developments like the provisional return of a modified version of the Party Fund, which was unceremoniously terminated last year. The new “UC Weekend Fund,” created under the Social Grants act, does not allocate money for private room parties as the Party Fund did, but some form of social event...
...reality is that, for certain students with certain needs or relationships, there was reason to be upset about some of the budget cuts, or the way they were communicated to us. But the majority of those students who will return to Cambridge next fall when the budget cuts have taken place will go about their lives relatively unaffected, or in other cases, with minimal adjustments.

...Treasury officials believe that a tightening of credit-market spreads shows an improvement in confidence. "Risk premia are receding in response to signs of stabilization," says an official familiar with Treasury's thinking. And the recent slight rise in interest rates demonstrates nothing except a market beginning to return to normalcy, not one getting spooked by fears of inflation. Consider that so-called TIPS - inflation-protected bonds - yield 1.5% on the five-year bond and just 1.9% on the 10-year. No sign of incipient inflationary panic there. To China and to everyone else watching, the U.S. would cite that...
