...Tandon ’07 that as of last night, Gadgil had not yet provided this additional information. “We really want to get the facts straight,” Vasan said. “The concerns she brought up, we wanted to make sure they were valid, not one-sided.” Vasan and Tandon also noted that while the student grants process—through which organizations like the SAA apply for funding from UC coffers—was one consideration in their discussion, the ultimate endorsement was based on a range of issues...
...school board changes the current policy, Dover's ninth-graders will no longer be given a statement asserting that "the theory [of evolution] is not a fact" and that i.d.--the notion that some sort of mind guided the origin and development of life--is a valid alternative. Virtually no scientist agrees with i.d. proponents, and a group of Dover parents sued the board on the basis that i.d. is a religious, not a scientific, idea. That trial ended earlier this month, and the federal judge hearing the case will rule by January...
...proper care.We also have to face the reality that many of our most desperately ill citizens have no chance of entering normal society again.

But despite the surge in homelessness that followed the shift away from government oversight...
...super-party funds. Students do not choose the House in which they live, and students assigned to certain Houses (especially in the Quad) have no control over the fact that they will most likely not have the opportunity to live in a large suite. While these potential concerns are valid, the campus-wide shortage of sufficient weekend social space outweighs this problem. After all, even if students do not have the opportunity to host their own super-parties, the implementation of this initiative with our suggested improvements will give all students far greater access to quality parties than they have...
...and—to be matter of fact—their exorbitant cost. One of the first things I have learned in Ec 10 is not to make normative statements. Is the consumption of drugs good for individuals? My notes and useful textbook tell me that is not a valid question. Rather, the astute student might ask: are drugs being distributed in the most efficient way possible? The answer, sadly, is no. Competition would drive down prices and, eventually, increase supply, if only drugs were legalized and operated in the free market system. Some of my friends would have thicker...
