...economics and cooking to finance and accounting. These seminars would be a wonderful opportunity for students to dabble in new disciplines or subjects only of peripheral interests. Moreover, the intimate nature of such classes would encourage more student-faculty interaction and exchange. Most importantly, however, these myriad programs must remain optional. Students should not feel that they have to take a seminar, go abroad, or get a job. The J-term should not simply morph into yet another opportunity for students to compete with one another to bolster their transcripts and resumes. Seminars should not be given for academic credit...
...should instead mandate a four- or five-week break, during which students would be entirely free to decide what to do with their time—be it travel, get an internship, or just relax at home—except return to campus for class. Students who wish to remain on campus should, of course, be allowed to do so, just as they are presently permitted stay through winter break.

"I'm proud that we chose to remain positive," he told a sparse crowd of Orlando supporters after finishing a distant third behind John McCain and Mitt Romney. His use of the past tense made his status pretty clear. He said he's still heading to California tomorrow - "I've got my ticket!" But it's not a ticket to compete...
...While many have heeded the large red banners urging them to avoid traveling and instead cash in their tickets for refunds, several thousand remain around the station as their hopes diminish. They stand underneath umbrellas and in flimsy ponchos, seeking some shelter from the rain and temperatures in the mid-40s. Puddles grow to ankle depth, and staying dry is difficult. Thousands more gather beneath an elevated highway, some huddled under blankets, but most just mill aimlessly about and talk...
