...extol for you the virtues of a gmail account. Now, recent allegations of a Google-CIA link may have you worried about those revolutions you’ve been planning with your blockmates, but with a little caution, there’s no reason not to make the switch in perfect confidence that your civil liberties will remain intact. Not only will gmail provide you with the holy grail of internet communications—an absolutely spotless inbox, but its system of filters will allow you to divert those troublesome “academic” e-mails into...
...Hall, the freshman dining hall uses about eight gallons of eggs per day. Crista R. Martin, a spokeswoman for HUDS, said yesterday that she did not yet have enough information to comment on the cage-free eggs issue. Last spring, Dartmouth College became the first Ivy League institution to switch to cage-free eggs. Princeton University also began serving cage-free eggs in its dining halls this year.

"People struggled with it," says Silvia Peterson, director of store operations engineering. The new machine was at odds with the Starbuckian notion of a "handcrafted" beverage. An ice dispenser that would have eliminated time spent scooping was rejected as a step too far. "It was big and QSR-like," says...
...Stanford University’s Adventures of the Mind. But when spring rolled around, Harris soon found herself without any female colleagues. “Second semester, it was just me,” Harris says. Chung, now enrolled in Math 122, says she decided to switch to Math 25 on her own. “I was more capable of handling the work load in 25,” Chung says. “I was sad about leaving the class, but it was a better choice for me.” Despite the asymptotic decline in female students...
