Why elephants should keep their tusks
Article Abstract:
There is a campaign to lift the international ban on ivory trading. Wildlife specialists in Zimbabwe claim that its elephant numbers have increased so much that a cull is necessary. Africa would then benefit from the sale of the resulting ivory. The Douglas-Hamiltons, a couple of Kenyan-based elephant experts, disagree with this view. They point out that in spite of conservation, poaching and diseases still threaten elephant numbers. Both arguments will be forwarded at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in Japan.

Women only, and wanting to keep it that way
Article Abstract:
Somerville College, Oxford has decided to admit men. Three remaining women's Oxbridge colleges, Newnham and New Hall, Cambridge and St Hilda's, Oxford hope to continue to offer the single-sex choice. Newnham has always supported women's rights. Girls do better in single-sex schools and Newnham staff look for potential which may develop years later. Women's colleges are poor, unglamorous and have lower academic achievements.
