...Harvard first-year experience is not unlike a November afternoon: a little chilly, but not exactly frozen either. On paper, the youngest quartile is offered a slew of exceptional accommodations, ranging from an in-house proctor to provide around-the-clock counsel, to a Prefect Program that presents an upperclass perspective, to frosh-only dining designed to engender class cohesion. In reality, however, advising is wholly hit-or-miss, study breaks are largely unattended, and the charm of Annenberg wears thin long before it has ever been appreciated. But the Freshman Dean’s Office (FDO), under the leadership...

Often ridiculed for their stereotypical mass movements from one party to the next, and separated from upperclass housing by the gates of the Yard, freshmen are generally on the fringe of the Harvard social scene.

In that way, Lamont could solve longstanding freshman-upperclass integration problems...
...Undergraduate Council (UC) voted last night to provide double funding to parties thrown in the best-known party spaces in the upperclass Houses. These “Super Parties,” which are “thrown in large party suites and spaces or parties thrown in three or more normal living areas,” such as the Currier Ten Man suite, the Lowell Bell Tower, and Eliot’s Ground Zero, will receive $200 reimbursements for hosting a party instead of the typical $100 party grant The UC has compiled a list of these large-scale...
