...Harvard received a top spot on the Princeton Review’s 2010 Green Rating Honor Roll, proving that the school is making good on its promise that green is the new crimson. Commendable measures that the University undertook this year involve installing solar trash compactors around campus, including compostable materials at the popular Fly-By eatery in the basement of Memorial Hall, and encouraging students to recycle, leading to a high 55 percent campus-wide recycling rate. We are also proud that Harvard instituted its new Green Building Guidelines for projects costing over $5 million. Such long-term commitments?...
...University operations. Overall, the administration did a good job making reasonable compromises and providing cheaper alternatives to some of its more expensive habits of old. Considering the highly publicized 27 percent plunge in the University’s endowment, student life suffered relatively little. Notably, Quadlings returned to campus to find that their weekend-morning shuttle service had been cut. Though disappointing, this seems to us a reasonable compromise in the face of the original plan to make much more extensive sacrifices—the administration did well to heed student uproar over shuttle cuts and backtrack...
...Although not as damaging to students as other cuts that were originally suggested, we still believe the College should listen to students’ requests to bring back eggs in the morning in the Houses, given that the lack of hot breakfast caused so much of an outcry on campus that it became nationally reported. We are glad that the Undergraduate Council in particular was involved in working with the administration to rectify what many students find to be a great injustice. Hot breakfast was a large part of the winning Bowman-Hysen ticket’s election platform...
...telling corollary, even with ever-stricter alcohol regulation on campus, significantly more students were admitted to Stillman Infirmary for alcohol-related illness than in any previous year. We argue that Harvard’s alcohol policies push students who want to drink, particularly freshmen, to unsafely binge before going to a party rather than drink socially at the party itself. The school’s relatively new amnesty policy, which protects ill students and those who escort them to Stillman from disciplinary action, is a good one. But even if it is only this newfound comfort that is pushing...
...charisma, and who even carried a Harvard degree. Cambridge hosted heated debates, partisan speakers, and plenty of student volunteers distributing leaflets and voter registration information. Issues ranging from the candidates’ stances on national security to levels of political experience were discussed in classrooms and common rooms across campus...
