...reject the compartmentalization that goes on in the Harvard administration and faculty because it serves as a shell game to deny students a say in all the areas that concern us. At many other colleges in the nation, from Louisiana State University to the University of Minnesota, students have been accepted onto search committees for deans and faculty. At Harvard, we are denied any say in the tenure process. We mature tremendously from our first year to our last, but unfortunately the administration chooses to treat us as first-year students until we graduate...
...Virginia, there is a Harvard hockey team after all. Despite struggling to a 2-4-1 record through last Friday's 5-4 loss to Colgate, the Crimson busted out of its shell Sunday afternoon at Lynah Rink, crushing Cornell...
...about one in five Bay Area homes was covered by earthquake insurance, and generally for only 85% to 90% of its value. (Earthquake insurance can cost as much as $800 a year for a $200,000 house.)

They stand to recover perhaps two-thirds of that from international reinsurers -- Lloyd's of London is the biggest -- which protect insurers against catastrophic losses. Still, the earthquake claims, coming less than a month after the devastation caused by Hurricane Hugo, could...
...relics of Uganda's bloody past are everywhere. Tanks rust along the roads, and shell holes pockmark buildings. In the villages north of Kampala, the capital, big plastic bags bulge with bright white human skulls, femurs and tibias, the grisly remains of some of the estimated 1 million victims of two decades of government atrocity, tribal conflict and civil war. Now the nearly four-year-old regime of President Yoweri Museveni is talking about preserving these bones, perhaps in a museum, as a memorial to a time that everyone in Uganda hopes is over...
...that maxim. The Business School, blessed with an immensely rich pool of alumni and facilities to match, opened what many $18 million gym. It seems you have to have a golden parachute just to enter the place, though. No undergraduates are allowed, and even B-School students must shell out big bucks just to use some of the facilities. The certification required to use the fitness equipment area costs $50, the towel service $30 and a private locker for a year...
