...signals a shift RUS has been undergoing over the last few years,” says RUS Co-President Jessica M. Rosenberg ’04. “On our posters it used to say ‘for women,’ but now they say ‘for feminism...

The No. 6 Saints’ delusion of parity with the No. 1 Crimson lasted just 24 seconds...

...cause of the accident: atmospheric turbulence. As the shuttle descends, air moves smoothly over the wings until, at about 150,000 ft., it begins to churn and swirl. As long as the shuttle is moving slowly enough, at about 6,000 m.p.h., it can handle the transition. If the shift happens higher in the atmosphere, when the ship is moving faster, the heat and stress increase dramatically. This can sometimes make a shuttle pull to one side--just as Columbia did.
