Though Harvard’s trial of female-only gym hours and a broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer in Harvard Yard earlier this year grabbed the attention of the national media, members of the Princeton community do not foresee similar developments on ...(back to the article)

Very poorly written. Unlike Princeton, harvard has SEVERAL gyms open to undergraduates (major gyms such as the MAC and Hemenway, and smaller ones in the individual houses) - limiting use of one of the smaller/lesser used ones is not big deal whatsoever.

so is the the Muslim article of the month? this article was poorly written, grouping all things pertaining to Muslims, however disconnect, into one because it is simple to do so. i agree with the two previous comments regarding women who might want women-only gym hours, why do you imply that only muslim women might feel this way? although church bells have come to this "time telling" meaning, they were (and also are to some) a call for followers to come worship in church; it would be wrong to forget this.

This article was confusing. First you talk about women-only hours in the gym, then you talk about the adhan... but in the transition you have this quote from the head of the Muslim Student Assn pertaining to Muslim females and women-only gym hours... which really threw me off. What do Muslim females on campus specifically have to do with women-only gym hours? Are they the only women around? And now I shall jump from topic to topic and comment on the adhan. Church bells seem to just be a notice of what time it is. According to wikipedia, the adhan says lots of things like "Allah is the Greatest", "I bear witness that there is no lord except Allah", and "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah". Pretty explicit right there.

Girls are pretty strange. But to call them another religion I think goes a bit far. Great job making zero sense in the beginning of your section on gender-segregated exercise. Most people put quotes about a topic...in the section about a topic, not in the middle of a different section. You certainly spiced it up by forgoing logical structuring.
