...housing options to all upperclassmen. Yale freshmen, like Harvard freshmen, are placed in randomized housing arrangements, making gender-neutral arrangements much more difficult. Harvard already makes provisions for entering first-year transgender students, should they request special housing arrangements, as well as options for transferring rooms after arriving on campus. That being said, the Freshman Dean’s Office is justified in seeking to create diverse rooming assignments, and we hope that students are comfortable abiding by the FDO’s decisions...
Students at other universities—where living off campus is the norm and not the exception—already have complete control over whom they share living space with and are responsible for making smart decisions (such as choosing not to room with a significant other because a break-up would cause utter disaster). Colleges like Yale and Harvard, which pride themselves on having most of their students live on campus throughout their undergraduate experience, should also trust their students to use good judgment. Freeing up housing restrictions is a step in that direction, and will hopefully make living...
...though Zisiadis is known for his eager self-promotion, his message still rings true. Student DJs across campus emphasize the intense, empathic relationship that develops between themselves and an elated (or simply drunk) audience.

Moreover, they rarely find opportunities to play music beyond a repetitive and narrow...
...student DJ can range from the highly technical and complex to the facile, even the mundane. I visited Mark A. VanMiddlesworth ’10, a Crimson Arts Editor, in his dimly-lit off-campus lair on Trowbridge Street. Ballet flats, cans of beer and a bottle of Jim Bean Kentucky bourbon were strewn across the floors and tables; four guitars hung from the walls; and VanMiddlesworth and his girlfriend were disputing the location of the DJ’s rabbit Puck, which was last seen under his significant other’s desk. VanMiddlesworth was showing me his impressive...
Talented DJs like VanMiddlesworth and Zisiadis consider the obligation to pander a good reason to avoid Harvard’s conventional party scene. “I DJed at a bunch of places around campus at the end of sophomore year and just realized that to do that you have to stay on top of what music people are listening to. I wasn’t very good at that and didn’t want to spend so much time listening to T-Pain,” said VanMiddlesworth. Now, though, “I basically have retreated...
