...choosing which departments get to hire new faculty is much like a parent choosing a favorite child. While those lucky departments express their euphoria, everyone else is filled with jealousy and complains relentlessly. When making these decisions we hope his or her attention will be dominated by balancing two main concerns: the demand for teaching and the University’s research priorities...
...Mission Hill Program’s main costs are incurred in the transportation of members to the Roxbury, Mass. neighborhood where they act as counselors for children with limited educational opportunities. The problem was, again, the UC’s resistance towards funding transportation. The new guard of the Financial Committee was unwilling to make an exception for Mission Hill.

Could a charity organization possibly...

...which was created by Courtney E. Thompson ’09 and emphasizes the connections of the characters (most of whom are farmers) with the earth, is amazing. It consists of several rows of uprooted trees which hover behind the main part of the stage. Rows of dirt, which the characters use to imply burial, cross the stage. The overall effect manages to create both a sense of unreality and of day-to-day existence...
