...think the ideal situation would be a scenario where women and men each had their own final clubs, all affiliated with the school," says Phoenix, S.K. Club President Simon S. Cheng '00. "If that were resolved we'd also be affiliated with Harvard, which would solve a lot of liability issues...
Laughter on the 23rd floor is the bittersweet tale of the office hijinks of a group of writers for a '50s variety show, starring the comedian Max Prince (Nicholas Meunier '02).
