Earlier this semester, Henry Louis “Skip” Gates came into the Locke Seminar Room of the Barker Center to do a little back-to-school redecorating. Gates, the Chair of the African-American and African Studies Department, was standing on crutches on account of a broken ankle, so he delegated the tasks that involved physical exertion to a few nearby students...
...back classes have time to get to their next meeting place. Thus the rule is clearly not in effect on weekends; neither is tardiness to an eight o’clock rehearsal acceptable.

...first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1985. He is widely believed to be harboring presidential aspirations for 2008.

This year, Associate Professor of Epidemiology Karen B. Michels’ new freshman seminar, “You Are What You Eat,” received 85 applications, and this high number shows that students are increasingly concerned about leading healthy lifestyle. The course itself provides an overview about nutrition, including what encompasses a healthy diet, why obesity exists among children, and how genetically engineered foods effect people worldwide.
