	LENS Voices Dr Christopher Langton
		From his earliest successes with the creation of artificial self-reproducing structures to his more recent work on the origin and evolution of life, both artificial and natural, he has been a student of the role that information and information processing play in the natural world.
		Along the way, this pursuit has lead him as well to new insights and novel conclusions about the history of science and technology, the relationship between science and art, the nature of human culture and society, and even the future of life itself.
		In print, Langton has published numerous articles in the area of complex systems, and was the founding editor of the MIT Press journal Artificial Life.

	Big Sibling Program @ MIT
		The Big Sibling Program is new to MIT as of 2002-3, thanks to a collaboration between Adoptive Families at MIT (AFMIT), the Hosts to the International Students Program (HISP), and the Graduate Student Council.
		Ideally the Big Sibling will serve as a point of contact with the child's cultural heritage, will help the child in learning to navigate cultural issues that may arise in his or her life, and will be a resource in building a healthy identity.
		Big sibling relationships provide not only a cultural connection for an adopted child, but also an opportunity for the adoptee's family to learn more about the adoptee's culture of origin and to become more racially aware.

	Chalkboards Over Urinals
		The rest of us, however, who are not as talented, should not be surprised by the chalkboards over urinals when looking at them in the context of MIT’s culture.
		Using the chalkboard over urinals during exams is logistically difficult and thus not immediately obvious.
		It is not physically possible to utilize the chalkboards and urinals at the same time.
