Edwards was empty

By Nathan Empsall | February 7, 2007

To the Editor: In his speech here Wednesday ("Edwards sketches 2008 platform," Feb. 1), presidential candidate John Edwards was very vague and, with exceptions for poverty and climate change, offered little real substance.

Published alum shares studying tips

By Amanda Cohen | February 7, 2007

Author of "How to Win at College" and "How to Become a Straight-A Student," Cal Newport '04 shared the insights presented in his books at a lecture in Moore Hall Tuesday evening.

"Maybe brilliant success is not necessarily the result of being a brilliant person, maybe it's an emergent property from a lot of small changes, a lot of small habits," Newport said of the inspiration for researching his first book. Newport's research proved successful during that academic year, when he achieved a flawless grade point average, which continued through sophomore summer, despite factors that seemed to make academic success during that term unlikely -- including a house off campus with friends and a backyard pong table, a constant stream of beer he said Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity unknowingly supplied and an ongoing battle with mononucleosis. During his second year of college, Newport began taking note of his study habits and experimented with them to learn what was successful.
