...down to think through these questions, it dawned on me that doing so would be a remarkably dull process: There’s nothing to think through. Harvardian snootiness towards cable television and pop culture in general aside, they aren’t in the least bit controversial. What student would really oppose these things? Never mind that some of them seem antithetical to other promises made by the candidates—making printing free surely encourages much more wasted paper than would be saved by switching to recyclable cups in the dining hall. The real issue is, while these...
...Harvard-Yale tailgate this year opened the proverbial Pandora’s Box of Harvardian drinking woes. Despite the College’s keg ban, the Boston police were shocked to find out that students were imbibing extreme amounts of hard alcohol. While those of us who attended The Game last year at the Yale Bowl feel that our celebration, while enjoyable, was the Euro Disney of tailgates, the police feel differently.

...Jefferson had in mind when he stressed the importance of a robust press. More importantly, we have no recollection of any of this actually happening—and apparently neither does anyone else.

And us here at FM certainly didn’t see nothin’…but on the other hand, we were totally shitfaced...
...seems that some of these objectives have eluded me thus far. When the objectives include not offending the subjects of a piece, a slew of passionately displeased e-mails is a Harvardian indication of failure.

And why wouldn’t it? I did, after all, claim a decisive stance on a controversial issue in a confident tone. I put my opinion...
...make my position on this issue perfectly clear from the outset. For fear of being ravaged from all sides of the final club spectrum, I wish to remain apolitical; that is, I seek neither to deter nor defend partaking in these Harvardian rituals. That said, I will happily add that the chance to indulge in the offerings of complimentary alcoholic splendor presents an almost undeniable obligation to attend—for those amongst the chosen few. As you angrily cast away your hand-written invitation in the name of moral righteousness, just think of the worryingly large majority of people...
