Fairness revisited

By Jarrod Lowery · Wednesday, Nov. 18,2009 9:39 p.m.

Although there are a number of difficulties associated with the formulation of a truly fair method of financing government, and although I don’t propose to dispense with all of them here, I am nevertheless confident that the challenge is surmountable and worth tackling. At the very least, it should be possible to delineate a basic requirement such a method should fulfill.

A bear and its cubs

By Jacob Levin · Wednesday, Nov. 18,2009 9:20 p.m.

At 2:15 p.m., right as the bell ended, the class collectively decided they couldn’t take another minute of her lecture, and stormed out — probably planning the letters they’d write to the department chair. I admit, I spent some of that afternoon researching the various ways in which tenure can be lost, hoping that there’d be a vacant seat in the history department that would one day be filled with someone who didn’t actually proclaim that the Civil War was caused primarily by changing conceptions of manhood.

Don’t forget the dress(ing)

By Danielle Paquette · Wednesday, Nov. 18,2009 3:52 p.m.

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to force multi-patterned, turkey sweaters out of storage. Oftentimes, the dressing on our bodies is just as important as the dressing on our plates. Follow these simple guidelines to transform your dinner table apparel from pilgrim bleak to runway chic:

Raw turkey

What the pilgrims really ate

By Megan Clayton · Wednesday, Nov. 18,2009 3:09 p.m.

Everyone in America knows this historical reading of our legend of the “First Thanksgiving.” We find a connection to the past every fall when we gorge ourselves on the same foods the Pilgrims had in plenty during their feast nearly 400 years ago. But how congruent were the menus? For sure, there are similarities, but there are also many differences between what we eat now and what they ate then.

Vinyl record

An ode to vinyl

By Kelsey McArdle · Wednesday, Nov. 18,2009 2:56 p.m.

I stopped buying CDs about two years ago. Ever since, it has taken genuine consideration and something very special to make me even think about dropping the cash for one. New music is so accessible anymore that it just feels like a chore to shop for it. Now, don’t get me wrong – I’m all for supporting the bands who make the music we love. Buy their music, collect their merchandise, give them gas money when they’re in the middle of touring and have to drive to Florida by tomorrow afternoon.  It’s just that I have found a new love – the sweet sound of spinning vinyl.
