Since regaining our composure, we've decided to delve a bit more deeply into this minefield, and explore the whys and wherefores of the storm surrounding sex education. The original analysis grew out of two recent studies by the Alan Guttmacher Institute and the Kaiser Family Foundation, which reported that fully one third of American public school districts follow an abstinence-only curriculum in their sex education classes. We wondered if abstinence education was working, and suggested that perhaps such an approach was unrealistic in light of what we know about sexual behavior among teens. And people let us know...
First, in response to popular demand, some statistics: The Department of Health and Human Services reports that teen pregnancy rates have fallen significantly each year in the 1990s; in 1996 there were fewer teen pregnancies than at any time in two decades. Analysts at HHS attribute this decline to several factors, including decreased sexual activity, increases in condom use and the adoption of new (injectable or implant) contraceptive devices. In other words, the good news about teen pregnancy is traceable to a combination of abstinence and contraceptive education, or an inclusive curriculum. Not coincidentally, the vast majority of Americans favor...
...Student Labor Movement won't have to storm University Hall if they're already there, while the Undergraduate Council could salute the flag outside and then demonstrate their democratic fervor within. IGP could improvise in the basement and HRTV could broadcast on the roof. After a century as a two-thousand-pound prop for The Man, the John Harvard statue would finally stand for students, first and foremost...
...cost, the only remaining concern is how the deans would survive in Central Square. As far as I can tell, the duties of a dean are calling people and answering calls, reading and writing reports, eating at the Faculty Club and attending College fundraisers. All but the last two can be accomplished with ease in Central Square, and I'm sure that in exchange for a student center the Undergraduate Council would be more than happy to sponsor a special dean shuttle...
Everything is easier on the Internet, including the once-arduous sport of stock market speculation. Unfortunately for two cyber-hucksters who made a quick $370,000 by circulating false rumors of a corporate takeover, technology has also made it easier for law enforcement officials to catch criminals. Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged Arash Aziz-Golshani and Hootan Melamed, both 23, with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and the two face civil charges from the SEC as well. It was a stunningly simple plan: One Monday morning, investor chat rooms were abuzz with a tip that NEI, a down-and-out commercial...
