...controversial service to its students is a sound one. RU-486 is not just a pill that can be distributed over the counter--rather, it involves several visits to internists for its administration. In the few cases where the pill has been ineffective, the practitioners have had to perform surgical abortion procedures; in others, surgery was needed as a result of heavy bleeding. UHS does not administer abortions on-site, and given the possibility of complications, it is wise to refer students elsewhere...
Heading into the season, everyone knew the top-line would be dominant. Senior winger Tammy Shewchuk, junior co-captain Jennifer Botterill and sophomore winger Kalen Ingram were expected to perform. They have...
...Obese humans, scientists speculate, gain weight because they consume too much fat. Let's say I eat french fries every day with lunch. That fat is tucked away in my body for safekeeping (hello, lovehandles), a survival instinct that leaves my body craving still more fat to perform its normal functions.

As lead singer and guitarist of Pavement--one of the most influential indie rock bands of the '90s--Malkmus was a hero to the college nerdoisie with his wry humor, obtuse lyrics and a string of critically lauded albums that failed nobly at the cash register. Pavement broke up last year, and Malkmus has wasted little time...
