...survey of 4,500 captive elephants worldwide, a team of researchers from the U.K., Canada and Kenya found that once you lock up the giant, space-loving beasts, their health suffers, their median life span plummets, and they quit breeding - the last things you would want for a creature you're ostensibly trying to help survive. "Whether or not it's valid to say zoos keep species alive depends on which species you're talking about," says animal-welfare scientist Georgia Mason of the University of Guelph in Ontario.

Both campaigns discuss their unique and revolutionary plans to use the Cambridge Center for Adult Education on Brattle Street as a student space, bring back a revised party grant system, and instituting a “J-term.” The Web sites further address the different outlooks the frontrunners have on student input in changes the UC is striving to make.
