...Quad buildings have been replaced by wooden props.--Alexander R. Konrad ’11Associate editorial editor Having already opted to place random clusters of lawn chairs in the Yard rather than invest in real social space, Harvard will look into other creative half-measures to address its budget deficits, including lukewarm breakfasts, Quad libraries without books, and shuttles that travel halfway down Garden Street.--Jessica A. Sequeira ’11Associate editorial editor When confused PAFs and freshman advisors query University Hall, administrators will realize that they forgot to include a History category in the General Education requirements.

According to Associate Dean Robert G. Doyle, free access to Rosetta Stone had not previously been available to staff because funding only covered students. The LRC had been willing to pay full price for the second...
Every varsity athlete’s dream of receiving a free DHA sweat suit may become another victim of the stagnant economy and the Harvard Department of Athletics’ budget cuts. It was customary for varsity athletes to receive the complementary sweat suit every year as a testament to their athletic prowess, but this year there will be no handouts. Following recent trends, Harvard’s Department of Athletics has made considerable reductions to its budget, which in turn has affected how much each team can spend on equipment. The department asked all varsity coaches to budget only...
