...hype was unprecedented for a Harvard pep rally. The College Events Board (CEB) had arranged for the hit DJ Girl Talk to perform. Students eagerly anticipated his live show, legendary among music fans, at the end of the pep rally, which was supposed to arouse excitement for the weekend’s football game against Yale. But even before Girl Talk began playing, things began to go wrong. From the flimsy and possibly dangerous stage setup, to the chaotic and unsafe conditions in the front rows, to the constant interruptions and ultimate cancellation of the concert by the Harvard University...
...very least, it means students shouldn’t look to assign blame for the Girl Talk incident of 2008 to the CEB, or the lack of barriers, or the Masonic ministrations of the Fly Club. No: For whatever reason, the cosmos themselves are aligned against any such rally held on Harvard’s grounds. No more than five have been pulled off in a half-century. And if 2005 was any indication, these rallies are pretty stupid, even when they succeed. If anything, we should be happy that, these days, Harvard spirit can only barely induce shoving. Everyone...

...concert barriers were in place during his performance, Pararas said. As throngs filled the Yard in front of the John Harvard statue, students bobbed to the music in parkas and sipped apple cider and hot chocolate. Those who braved the chill waved glow sticks and foam fingers as CEB members threw balloons into the crowd. Several police officers stood on stage, as Gillis, clad in a crimson CEB sweatshirt, sampled from songs that varied from Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” to UGK’s “International Player?...
...take their party inside. But tonight will be different. “It’s outside rain or shine,” says Vice-chair of the College Events Board Benjamin P. Schwartz ’10 confidently. Regardless of how wet or cold you may be, the CEB has ensured that Girl Talk, the popular DJ, will be covered by a tent. And if listening to Girl Talk’s mashes aren’t incentive enough, there will be glowsticks. Yes, you read right: Glowsticks! Tonight’s rally will feature appearances by the Harvard...
