...Insider opens in theaters today, and it officially gets the Oscar race underway. After all, the Oscar race officially begins once three worthy Best Picture nominees have opened (that's totally an arbitrary definition, but who cares!).

Although the Advocate plays an active role in fostering Harvard's artistic community, text is still its primary focus. A special Black Arts issue, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the founding of Harvard's Afro-American Studies Department will supplement the usual four issues per year, which includes the popular Annual Contest Issue in the spring. For "The Last Issue," a look at beginnings, endings, new starts and redemption, to be published in December, submissions will still be considered based on quality, but with...
