...next year. The three proposals range in estimated costs from $900,000 to $1,300,000, and each differs in how and when dinner would be offered. Two plans focus on “neighborhood” schemes, in which Annenberg and one dining hall in each of four upperclass neighborhoods—one in the Quad and three on the River—will have extended dinner hours. The third plan extends dinner one hour in Annenberg and all House dining halls. Although the latter plan is the most expensive, the extra cost is a necessary evil in order...
...dining halls if hours are extended, the average number of meals per week was estimated to increase from its current 13.6 to 14.1, requiring more food and staff. Mayer and Cross determined that the most expensive scenario would be to extend dinner by one hour in all upperclass houses and Annenberg from Monday to Thursday. Supposing that the participation rate—or meals eaten—rises by 4 percent, HUDS’ costs would increase by $1,298,341, according to their report. The least costly scenario considered by the subcommittee so far was to extend dinner...

The author’s senseless statement reflects a larger-scale obliviousness to the importance of minority representation, whether that minority be economic, racial, sexual, or, in this particular situation, geographic...
...advising in place, but all departments—especially the larger ones like Government and Economics—should strive to assemble effective peer advising services. The CUE Guide, after all, can only tell students so much about any class, and it can never replace personal communication with an upperclass concentrator. No single improvement can address all of the shortcomings of student advising at Harvard. The College must make a serious and concerted effort to introduce a series of changes that will provide practical and effective solutions to this perennial problem, and we fully expect that such a process will...
...seven-inch rubber-covered foam Nerf balls. Tempers rose and egos clashed—but for the second year in a row, athletic prowess and strategy won the day for Dunster House. The tournament, well on its way to becoming a beloved Harvard tradition, offered the chance for each upperclass House, as well as University Hall, to form teams and duke it out for the title of Dodgeball champion. The tournament made its debut last December as a joint effort between the Undergraduate Council, the Dean’s office, Harvard Christian Impact’s Athletes in Action...
