We've reached the end of the school year and finally the beginning of a resolution to the lacrosse scandal. I thought it only fitting to consider the lacrosse scandal from a religious perspective.
We throw around terms like "Ramadan" and know about the Muslim practice of praying five times a day-we assume that we're educated and aware of Islam.
Who decided to put Spring Break smack dab in the middle of Lent? Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, is a Christian tradition encouraging discipline and commitment under the guise of promoting self-denial as worship for Christ. The idea is to memorialize his suffering, most notably during the "Passion" (the last 12 hours of his life including his betrayal, trial and crucifixion), the climax of Lent.
Gender wasn't a simple matter of biology for ancient Greeks and Romans. They created an entire science-called physiognomy-to ascertain a person's sex. Gender was a continuum for them; the most "manly" men resided at the top of the ladder with more effeminate men filling in the middle rungs. Women, who could likewise be more or less manly, took up the bottom of the gender hierarchy.

April 2, 2005: The world mourns as Pope John Paul II passes away.
Our friends at Harvard are having quite the row over religion. A faculty committee assigned to review the curriculum recently recommended the addition of a "Reason and Faith" requirement, which could be fulfilled with courses such as "Religion and Democracy," "Religion and Science" and "Medicine, Spirituality and Religion in Modern America." Soon a degree from Harvard's College of Arts and Sciences may include this controversial course distribution requirement, though the recent brouhaha suggests that implementing the committee's recommendation will be far from easy.
At first blush, the words "interfaith dialogue" can seem a bit hokey-the kind of kumbaya session that often ends up preaching to the converted.
Some startling truths were revealed Sunday night on 60 Minutes.
Dan Brown, you've done it again. Set another record that is. Your reign over the New York Times best-seller list and spot on Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People pale in comparison to this accolade: facebook.com lists your Da Vinci Code as the highest-rated book among its users on its "Pulse" feature.
Center of campus life. Host of events. Heart of the campus. Mister of warm bodies. Much has been made of the West Campus Plaza. For the hefty price tag and year of discomfort, we shouldn't be all too surprised at the pomp and circumstance associated with the unveiling.
