...scheduling arrangement that the Office of the Registrar characterized as "absolutely typical," Harvard students were treated to a 1998 intersession spanning from Friday afternoon on Jan. 23 to Wednesday, Jan. 28. While the Registrar may boast that this constitutes a "five day break," a glance at a calendar reveals that any student with an exam on Jan. 23 can count the days off on two fingers. Those students lucky enough to finish exams early were rewarded with a vacation. But why should vacation time be a matter of luck...
...actors of the '60s can boast laudable accomplishments, both in the arena of political improvement and cultural development. Unfortunately, the legacy of the decade has been stripped of its socially nutritious content. We've elected another philandering playboy to the oval office, but rather than inspiring visions of Camelot, he plombs new depths of sleaze like Jacques Cousteau in an ocean of immorality.

Much can be done to attract professors of diverse races, genders, ages, academic backgrounds and educational attitudes without sacrificing quality...
Wondering how far the local lab goes in taking advantage of the Harvard name (Does it charge different rates for Ivy League and non-Ivy-League sperm?) I dial up the cryobank's Web page. Sure enough, it contains a small but noticeable boast: "The majority of our donors come from UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley, Stanford University, Harvard University and MIT." As of March 1, 1996, the Web site reads, the cost of a sample for fertilization starts at $142, for something called an intracervical insemination...
