...Furthermore, intensive concentrations such as social studies enroll dozens of students who subsequently drop out; previous experience in the department would guide students to a better fit in their initial choice of concentration. Recognizing that students often change concentrations for good reason, departments should create a plausible way to switch intended concentration in the middle of sophomore year or later. In the case of social studies and concentrations with similar requirements, we are concerned that failure to take foundational courses in the fall of sophomore year could be perceived by the department as a lack of commitment. Social studies...
...common feature he saw in fast-growing tumors: unlike healthy cells, which generate energy by metabolizing sugar in their mitochondria, cancer cells appeared to fuel themselves exclusively through glycolysis, a less-efficient means of creating energy through the fermentation of sugar in the cytoplasm. Warburg believed that this metabolic switch was the primary cause of cancer, a theory that he strove, unsuccessfully, to establish until his death...
...therapeutically exploited. The theory is simple: If most aggressive cancers rely on the fermentation of sugar for growing and dividing, then take away the sugar and they should stop spreading. Meanwhile, normal body and brain cells should be able to handle the sugar starvation; they can switch to generating energy from fatty molecules called ketone bodies - the body's main source of energy on a fat-rich diet - an ability that some or most fast-growing and invasive cancers seem to lack...
Back in May, the Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences announced that it was replacing the long-standing Core Curriculum with a new General Education program, representing a major change in educational philosophy. While few people outside of the FAS and the Undergraduate Council seemed to notice, the switch will have a significant effect on the college experience of future Harvard students when it eventually does come into effect—really.The passing of the Core should not go unacknowledged, and after taking a summer to recover, I wanted to do my part in commemorating it.

The UC leader and former Quincy House resident, who stayed in the apartment while doing coursework and attending to UC business this summer, cited a desire to live with two of his best friends as the reason for making the switch. In an interview yesterday, he said that he did not believe the move would affect his work with the student government, and that he in no way felt he was distancing himself from the campus residents who elected him last fall. “I was aware that...
