...Instead, House Committees and House members must innovate and brainstorm unconventional ways of uniting their diverse members. Ideas like the all-House Harvard-Yale tailgate, Kirkland's Incestfest and Dunster's Goat Roast are steps in the right direction. Going beyond the simple ideas of large social events, House Committees ought to find ways to organize and capitalize on the other interests and talents within their communities. Many Committees are only comprised of a social chair and administrative positions like a treasurer and a secretary. Yet it makes sense to unite, or in some Houses, create student government positions that...
...those of you who might have missed it, on Friday last week, a gentleman from the undergraduate community wrote a letter to the editor calling upon The Crimson, in the absence of "fair and equitable coverage of Undergraduate Council tickets," to cover "none of them," instead. His reasoning for this seemingly drastic action rests upon what he calls "the truth" that the "council...is simply not a factor in most students' lives." Thus, his reflections conclude, "doesn't it seem silly that The Crimson would devote so much valuable space and attention to a group that many undergrads consider--either...
Maybe academics is more the gentleman's style. The fact that the council saw that intercession to now be mandated at minimum of seven days, instead of as little as four days sometimes, doesn't seem to strike a chord with him.

He must have no need of departmental by-passes in the Core, nor the expanded number of offerings within each Core area. Nor does he care that the council lobbied...
...find a quicker route to page one of The Crimson than any benefit they may bring students, a fact which is borne out (I am guessing) by the surprise with which most of you have read the accomplishments of the council that have been listed. The difference is that, instead of infecting the pages of the Crimson with even more cynicism about the role of the council on this campus, they have undertaken the far harder task of working against this trend on behalf of the students. For these efforts, they should ultimately be thanked--or at least left alone...
...Laden is believed to work. Far from the tight vertical chain of command that media reports tend to imply when they tie diverse terror attacks to the alleged terrorist mastermind, observers and investigators believe that his networks may in fact be a lot more diffuse and autonomous, consisting instead of local Islamist underground armies - often linked by networks of Afghanistan vets - sharing resources and making common cause with Bin Laden's campaign against the U.S. Add to that the Yemeni haste to finish the investigation, and the suspects may once again be dead before we know where they got their...
