...store. University Hall’s involvement will thus come none too soon. The CUE is in a far better position than students to request textbook information from professors; the weight of its position should expedite what has until now been an entirely student-based initiative. While the wider availability of textbook data will undoubtedly affect the Coop’s bottom line to some degree, this is not a reason to stifle the information. The Coop will still offer the convenience of having textbooks centralized in a single, nearby location, of which some students will continue to take advantage...
...whole campus was upset when the College put an end to party grants, especially because it coincided with a wider College plot to crack down on underage drinking. From the average student’s vantage point, it would be nice to see the UC return to those issues where they can expect to win, or at least be taken seriously. The last six weeks notwithstanding, UC President Ryan A. Petersen ’08 and Vice President Matthew L. Sundquist ’09 have scored some important victories, most notably calendar reform, which was the result of diplomatic...
When I boarded the Airbus for the flight to Singapore, I could see that the airline, renowned for its good service, has made some dramatic changes inside the cabin. It removed seats and even made the aisles wider to create an "executive economy" section (full fare, round trip: $1,665).

...seats to allow more room. There are 117 in coach in a 2-3-2 layout. Not only is each coach seat 5 in. farther than usual from the one in front of it, it is 20 in. wide vs. the typical 17 in. Even the aisles are wider: 20 in. vs. 19 in. If these differences seem minuscule, they're not: they gave me enough space to change positions, stretch (I'm 5 ft. 6 in.) and put my book and earphones down next to me on the seat. The seat has a pitch of 37 in., reclines...
...that support enough? The same Libération poll showed large majorities qualifying Sarkozy's economic action thus far "a failure" - notably on daily concerns like shrinking purchasing power and high unemployment. That may weaken public support on smaller reform pain if there's no sign of wider economic gain - especially if social divisions created by protests are considered too costly by voters. But even if that happens, the political price of backing down might well be too high for Sarkozy...
