...whose phone number is listed on the flyer, the “literary society” part doesn’t mean anything—Alpha Delta Phi is just a regular fraternity. The nearby Brandeis chapter is responsible for the colonization effort. Alpha Delt, as it likes to call itself, already has a handful of members at Harvard among the junior and senior class, and now it’s looking for some sophomores to take up the mantle. It’s a little less personal than some other invitations going around this time of year, so most...
...overwhelmingly panned the plan championed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The volume of e-mail crashed the House's website. After Wall Street tumbled 778 points, voters are still mad - and now even more confused.

Companies should consider hiring more women or older men, he said, because lower testosterone levels may lead to less-risky investments. Apicella cautions, though, that the results...
...attitude, Harvard services, intended to keep us safe, remain far under-utilized. In Dean Hammonds’ response to the three robberies, she reminded us of the Harvard University Campus Escort Program (HUCEP). From 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. (and 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday), volunteers remain on call to walk home any Harvard affiliate who dials their hotline. According to HUPD spokesman Steven Catalano, on average only 10-12 people request an escort each month—about two to three per week...
