...applaud The Crimson’s Dec. 10 editorial, “Keeping Students Safe,” and Olamipe I. Okunseinde’s Dec. 8 op-ed, “The Walk Home,” for raising awareness about the issue of sexual assault on campus. The news of the now six sexual assaults this semester has been shocking and perhaps unprecedented in recent years. But I worry that these articles, and the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) community advisories are not addressing the prevalence of other types of sexual assault occurring with even greater regularity...
...applaud your choice of the iTunes Music Store.

Writers like Donna Tartt...
Though the club boasted a historian on its board, it didn’t get a chance to cultivate much history after the Undergraduate Council (UC) decided to turn down its request for funding. “We applaud the efforts of the HWSC, but have trouble justifying this expenditure, so for now our stance is, ‘Sorry, we don’t subsidize burritos,” says Teo P. Nicolais ’06, chair of the UC grant subcommittee...
