In one fell swoop, it has solved a problem older than the dining hall sheet cake and tougher than the smoked duck. For years, Harvards social scene has been one of feast and famine. While upperclassmen gorged themselves on venues from Red Line to the occasional wildlife-themed, well-endowed social club, underclassmen were systematically denied their just deserts.
