...while political squabbles come and go like fashion, buildings tend to last an awfully long time. Accordingly, Summers is equally (if not more) dogmatic when it comes to the science-centric Allston expansion, his pet project and real-life Sim City. In February 2004, this editorial page hit the nail on the head, charging that “the [Allston] discussion between Mass. Hall and everyone else has indeed come to seem more and more like a monologue.” Faculty members have claimed repeatedly that they have not been kept au courant with the Allston initiative. Meanwhile, students...
...flux. Time was, a 30-second TV spot trumped all. But in today's world of fragmented media, commercial cutters like TiVo, and exponentially more goods and services vying for consumer attention, the old rules don't apply. Fudge's plan: to remake Y&R into a client-centric operation that acts as much like a business partner as it does a creative hired gun.

...with piquing outside interest, but this practice is by no means necessarily bad. The bottom line is selling more expensive tickets to non-Harvard concert-goers means cheaper tickets for undergraduates, and as long as the practice does not come at the cost of undermining the student-centric, community-building nature of the show, we see no problem. Provided that enough tickets are set aside for students at a discounted rate, the council and the HCC should sell tickets to whomever they want to make these events more profitable...
