...practical matter, the Ad Board members are some of the most overworked officials at the College. Indeed, they truly do not have the time necessary to fully handle even the seven cases of sexual assault that it heard last year—a number that administrators have characterized as a “dramatic” increase over previous years. As far as qualifications, Assistant Dean of the College and Secretary of the Ad Board David B.

Cameron ’05, who read the Anastasia books, says she wanted to be just like the spunky heroine. “I remember in one book, Anastasia placed a personal ad looking for a perfect husband (even though she was 12) and I thought that was so cool, so I went on AOL and put one up, and all of these people started calling my house thinking I was 19 or 20 and then one day, my nanny picked up the phone...
