Over the last three months, the Undergraduate Council has worked hard to make the case for later dorm party hours, drawing primarily on a phone survey conducted in 2001 by former council representative Brian R. Smith ’02. The survey—which reached 300 undergraduates—found that an overwhelming 91 percent of students favored a one-hour extension, while 66 percent of students said that they did not go to bed before 3 a.m. on a typical Friday or Saturday night. This year, we issued a supplementary report revealing that all other Ivy League colleges...
...survey does not capture some important qualitative arguments for an extension. For the well-connected or those over 21, final clubs and local bars currently end up being the post-room party destinations of choice. These spaces are legal, enjoyable and safe for many students—but a challenge to their ascendancy in the Harvard social scene could only contribute to a more inclusive and safer community.

"We're seeing it more frequently than we did before, and women in particular are less likely to accept society's norms than they were before," says preventive-medicine physician Roger Landry, an expert on aging...
...terrible tumors he had documented in devils in Tasmania?s northeast. Then, in 1999, one of the world?s few devil experts, zoologist Menna Jones, reported similar tumors among animals she was studying on the east coast. But it wasn?t until late last year that a statewide snapshot survey revealed the full extent of the epidemic. Despite the Tasmanian devil?s iconic status and its key ecological role as a super-efficient scourer of the bush, requests for a program to monitor the species have been refused for more than a decade, says Mooney. ?If something isn?t endangered...
