...president of the Asian American Association, Eveleen S. Hsu ’07, said that groups need to keep their meetings close to freshman dorms—in order to woo new members. “I think the freshman social space is a good idea, but student groups need to stay close to the Yard,” she said...
...story is just silly. A curse requires anyone who carries the title of the Baronet of Ruddigore to commit a crime daily on pain of death. Robin Oakapple (Benjamin T.

Last Thursday, after repeated denials, Hwang admitted that two of his junior lab workers had donated their eggs?a critical component for embryonic-stem-cell studies?for his research, and that an associate had paid other women for their eggs in 2002 and 2003.
