...discretionary funds. Some can tap into giant trusts for the biggest events of the year. And some of the more entrepreneurial HoCos hold events to fund-raise. Reaffirmed by a new package passed by the UC last week, council funding plays a big role for many HoCos. Although the actual amount of the grant in this bill is the same from last year ($3500 per semester), it gives HoCos significantly greater flexibility in spending their money. Additionally, the new bill will set aside more of the HoCo money from the UC grants fund, meaning the UC will have more money...
...careful and precise research undertaken over a long period of time to get their degree. I personally became embroiled in a huge snafu with my concentration when they essentially demanded I stay over the summer to work on a research thesis in neurobiology. Meanwhile, let me give you some actual thesis projects actual VES concentrators have told me about. First, there was a study in which someone made a dress with a train as long as Harvard Yard and then walked across the Yard while filming it. End of thesis. Second, one concentrator redid the cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...
...further information was interrupted by the first glimpse of one done-up-doll. When exactly did “My Little Pony” become anorexic?Perhaps this was just an exaggerated effect, since these 18-inch ponies are for painting, not play, I thought.

Perhaps because of Berman’s strange proclivities, the Silver Jews have never achieved the (comparative) popularity of some of their alt-country contemporaries: Wilco and Ryan Adams especially. Berman savors the absurd, and his songs abound with bizarre characterizations and nonsensical turns of phrase. Berman’s genius is his ability...
...flow—abdicating control of our lives to the conventional prestige we pursue and to the technology that effectively keeps us too distracted to ask the uncomfortable questions about where we are really going and why. Between our work-hard/party-hard lifestyle, any time or energy for actual solitary reflection is lost—as is any moment for original thought and conscious direction of purpose. And thus many of us unsurprisingly head to posh post-graduation destinations. We are so busy thinking about the micro rather than the macro that we get to senior year without a clear...
