    A common characteristic of developing countries is an inadequate supply of food. Inadequate food supply is the leading cause of malnutrition. Malnutrition is the condition in which the immune system is weakened and resistance to disease is lowered. There are over 500 million children in developing countries who are malnourished. As a result, one is seven is dead before the age of five. Due to this high rate of infant mortality, in some societies naming of children is a ceremony that is not performed until the child has survived for some specified period of time.

    Last year it was recommended by the student government that a board of review be created so that students would be given a greater voice in campus governance.

College policies are reviewed by the board and, if they are determined to be inconsistent with the basic purpose of the college, must be revised unless the board’s decision is vetoed by the president.
