Harvard’s hopes of a well-thought out, well-implemented program to replace the Core—which was neither well-thought out nor well-implemented—will be dashed upon the rocks of mediocrity and befuddlement unless the committee develops clearer objectives. They have not decided on a lucid concept of the purpose of general education, and as a result, all further discussion seems to be moving in circles. Students and faculty must know what the principles underlying the proposed system of general education are—and they must buy into it?...
...contrasts between the candidates couldn’t be clearer. Matt and Clay have a history of fighting to improve student life on campus. As the head of the council’s Student Affairs Committee, Matt forced the administration to give us Universal Keycard Access, and successfully demanded that the administration and the City of Cambridge install bluelight phones in Cambridge Common to make you safer.

As the council’s Treasurer, he has cleaned up the mess of bounced checks written by his predecessor...

Cazalas, 58, an electrician from Corpus Christi, Texas, sitting...
...again and again. Perhaps if they would just sit content in their number two seat (well, it’s really more of a stool in the corner), we wouldn’t have to expend so much effort. But the Yalies are true masochists. Nothing makes this point clearer than last year’s 37-19 smackdown. After an 80-yard drive to put the Bulldogs on the 5-yard line—oh ever so close—they tried for the touchdown. And tried. And tried. And tried. If there weren’t a limit...
