...would like to ask Mr. Wrinn to explain the regulation on p. 309 of the Handbook for Students that states, "[n]o student shall be connected with any advertising medium, including the press or other public forum, or unrecognized publication that makes use of the name of Harvard or Radcliffe or implies, without permission of the University, through its title or otherwise, a connection with the University...
Electing Undergraduate Council executives directly thus makes it more difficult to cast a knowledgeable vote. Without a medium such as television or radio, candidates must struggle to make themselves and their platforms known. They are left to depend mostly on posters, e-mails and coverage in campus publications. But these means do not necessarily reach all members of the student body, nor do they adequately inform voters' decisions. The attempt to have popular elections for such a large student body without many effective channels to disseminate information presents a challenge to those running for president and vice president.

...1950s a new generation of media-savvy ministers--Bishop Fulton Sheen, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts--started directing their crusades at the TV audience. And if the subtext of the awesome Catholic liturgy had always been God's immutable power, the plot of these TV revivals was tailored for the medium of Father Knows Best.

Religion and TV became so indistinguishable that it took a neologism, televangelism, to fully capture what was going...
...contrast, Les Enfants Terribles (subtitled Children of the Game)--which premiered last spring at the Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston, South Carolina, and was staged last month at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City--uses the medium of dance to make its point. Cocteau's 1929 novel, which he transformed into a 1950 movie, was a typically neurasthenic tale of the unhealthy relationship of Paul and Lise, siblings whose excessive attachment to each other eventually destroys them. At once precious and oblique, the story could easily seem ridiculous today...
...final room is the climax of the exhibit. The color of the walls has been darkening with the progression of the photographs: the first room is light gray, the next room medium gray, and this final room dark gray, set with a few giant portraits like luminous beacons in the dimness. There is Frances Bean Cobain, almost frightening with her enormous eyes. Christopher Reeve, mounted on an elaborate wheelchair, somehow looks just as much like Superman as ever. The exhibition's final statement is a long, large strip of white upon which the figure of Bill T. Jones is repeated...
