People argue that Harvard's bureaucracy is big enough already and that creating another office would be a mistake. But the escort service could easily be handled by the Facilities and Maintenance Department--whose name is already on the sides of the cars. And, anyway, as long as there is a situation like this, Harvard's bureaucracy is not big enough to provide for its students needs.

...glasses and mugs instead of paper cups in all dining halls besides the Union Even in Adams and Quincy--which try hard to hide their reuseable cups--have mugs or glasses that you can use. Bring your own mug for take-out coffee--it's nicer than paper anyway. Save old handouts and notices and write your rough-drafts of papers, problem sets or letters on the back of them, instead if using fresh paper. Take lecture notes on both sides of each sheet of paper in notebooks or yellow pads. Use handkerchiefs instead of paper tissues--they are cheaper...

...impart top spin not only waste energy but also unnecessarily risk "tennis elbow." His high-speed film shows that the ball is in contact with the strings for only four milliseconds and is well on its way to the net before the player even begins rolling his racquet. "Anyway," says Braden, "if the player really hit over the ball, he would drive it into his foot." To impart top spin, he explains, the player needs only to swing from low to high, bringing the face of the racquet to a vertical position as it meets the ball...
