...waded through that bureaucracy faster than we expected. That's probably why they made you President of Harvard and not those three other schmucks. It's time for your first section in Historical Studies A-69: Ancient Babylonian Folkways (attending lecture is neither required nor encouraged). You may be wondering why you can't take History 56: Ancient Babylonian Folkways, but the Core Office assures you that only one of these courses will teach you an approach to learning.

...reason should The Tasty, that cramped, grease-ridden snack shop, be allowed to remain in fair Harvard Square. In fact, the entire corner presents an architectural eyesore. Age alone does not justify continued existence; no one makes scenic monuments to bawdy Babylonian bordellos. True, Harvard Square needs a 24-hour restaurant, but the Tasty is not the answer...
