...right to stake his claim as an EAS scholar. Lucky for you, despite the bevy of unavoidable but surmountable requirements, the East Asian Studies department is a pretty kick-ass place to spend three years if you are genuinely interested in anything related to Asia. History, Literature, Linguistics, Econ, Anthro, Religion, Sociology, or VES—EAS has a place for you. In fact, you can fulfill non-language and non-tutorial classes without ever taking a class in the department. Every single person in the EAS “office”—a yellow house hidden...
...Moral Reasoning.)For the guttiest gut this side of Nickelodeon’s much-missed “GUTS!”, turn to Professor James L. Watson’s awesomely bad survey, “Food and Culture.” It’s Anthro-lite, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. Pro: You talk about food, all the time.

A bio-anthro professor and—get this—a woman, Hooven’s support of Summer’s inflamatory comments about women in science stand in opposition to many of her colleagues in her outspoken department. And Hooven, whose class Anthropology 1365, “Sex Differences in Humans” couldn’t be timelier, is pretty well-educated on the subject...
Whether due to injury, exhaustion, or their interests in other academic or extracurricular pursuits, quite a few of the guys who sit next to you in Bio-Anthro lecture, in the dining hall, and in yes, the library, used to play Harvard football. I only talked to three of them in particular for this article, yet I believe they encompass a wide range of the ex-footballers on campus...
