...They have been forced into a situation no one could expect to face. To further exacerbate its complexity and immensity, the Harvard administration and Ad Board harassed and deserted them when they needed them the most. Yet the survivors are still here. It tears at my heart to hear of their Ad-Board horror stories. I am ashamed to be associated with such a backward policy. I am saddened that Harvard abandons its students in their time of greatest need...
This solution is weak. By this half-hearted arrangement, it appears the council wants to claim it is listening to the student voice without having to bear the pesky inconvenience of a campus-wide debate on the various options the council's ad hoc committee proposed. Various plans would earmark the money for Springfest, student groups or a new sound system for the council to lend to student groups. Another proposal would have the council make a symbolic donation toward a new student center. Students deserve to participate in this debate and should have a direct say in which option...
...monthly, revealed that neither of two students who have admitted to and been convicted of indecent assault and battery has been expelled from the College. Both students, Joshua M. Elster, Class of 2000, and D. Drew Douglas, Class of 2000, sexually assaulted two Harvard women last year, and the Ad Board has recommended their dismissal.

...tend to think I am not the only one who finds this analogy illegitimate. It is true that expulsion, like the death penalty, is irrevocable, while dismissal, like life imprisonment, is not. The similarities, however, stop there. The Ad Board is not a court of law, and expulsion from Harvard, contrary to what some may like to believe, is not as bad as death. Furthermore, let us not forget that both Elster and Douglas are confessed and convicted sex offenders. There is no further evidence needed. These students should not now or ever have the possibility of being readmitted, period...
Think Hollywood is too corporate these days? It's just getting started. Last week publicity powerhouse PMK (which handles names like CRUISE, PFEIFFER, HANKS and DAMON) finally consented to marry McCann-Erickson (clients include GM, MasterCard and Coca-Cola). The New York ad giant was not so much interested in PMK's tidy profit margin--"We're just chump change to them," says LESLEE DART, one of PMK's three partners -as in its vast warehouse of stars. "Celebrity icons are brands," says JOHN DOONER, McCann-Erickson's CEO, "and there may be opportunities to work with like-minded brands...
