...event still lies on CEB’s shoulders. They have made an important move in selecting upbeat contemporary artists. There is still a lot that remains to be seen though, and we hope that CEB puts a good deal of thought into preparations as we get closer to April...
...upcoming matches.” FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 6, HARVARD 1 After battling Florida International in 90-degree, humid weather, the Crimson fell at No. 1, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 singles in straight sets. “We had a slow start, but the match was much closer than the score,” sophomore Samantha Rosekrans said.

Brain break is consistently disappointing, with the same monotonous spread of peanut butter, bread, and cereal every. single. night. And even these spartan offerings are limited by an obnoxious policy of locking down brain break between midnight and 2 a.m. Not that there'd be any food left by then, but it'd be nice to be able to get a fucking soda after...
