Finally, the Harvard Concert Commission picked the right sort of artist. For all the complaining that we don’t get big names compared to peer institutions—Folds played Yale too, but as the opening act??we’re not really here because Harvard offers the best concerts. College-wide social events should build College community, and while you will never find an artist that everyone loves, you can pick acts who are enthusiastically college-friendly.

Although the renewal was delayed in the Senate for over two months by debate on the Patriot Act??s impact on civil liberties, Harvard officials said that the debate has not substantially changed the provisions of the act. “I think it was unfortunate that the tilt of the result is to leave the Patriot Act where it was, more or less...
