Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye recently finished a national recruiting tour with her counterparts from Harvard and the University of Virginia. The deans joined forces in the wake of their decisions to end early admissions programs and now aim to broaden their student applicant pools.When the University decided to end Early Decision last fall, admissions officials said they hoped to devote more time to student outreach.

An inexcusable failure

Enough ink has been spilled on these pages over the new residential college adviser alcohol policies and Public Safety dorm patrols to make me fear that entering those debates will induce reader nausea, that most heinous of columnist sins.

A somewhat twisted ode to the Butler quad

Once upon a time, we lived in a Butler double. There were waffle ceilings, and the rather cramped nature of the room inspired us to spend lots of time in bed, as there was no other surface on which to sit.

Other Princes

At a flea market many years ago, I paid 50 cents for a badly worn paperback copy of Niccolo Machiavelli's "The Prince," a book that I had often heard of but never managed to read.

A bizarre and unsupported argument

Norman Finkelstein, a former professor of political science at DePaul University gave a lecture earlier this month entitled "Israel and Palestine: Roots of Conflict, Prospects for Peace." In the bizarre talk, Finkelstein reduced the conflict to supposedly objective questions, of international legality and of historical fact, for which he naively claimed there was a simple answer.

The least among us

An insurmountable lead in the polls has done little to rally the masses of Democrats behind Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.). Many on the left complain about her in silence, but figure that there is not much they can do at this point.
