I even enjoyed the few minutes I spent playing with a prerelease version of the BlackBerry Storm, which goes on sale Nov. 21 for $200 (after the $50 rebate from wireless carrier Verizon...

The UC’s constitution was adopted in 1982, following a proposal by a student-faculty commission chaired by Professor John E. Dowling ’57 for an advisory student government. It would be funded by a universal $10 termbill charge. During its first year, the UC began disbursing funds to student groups, while trying to define its larger mission: whether to advocate for political issues, or to push...
