...Crimson was looking for--namely, one willing to turn his back on other Jews. He claims that we are, however, and that while in office we have instituted a "new policy" at The Crimson, "a program designed to promote the most superficial kind of diversity--the diversity of skin color." He alleges that this policy cost him a position as columnist...
...sophomore, I haven't ever known a non-randomized housing system and I never really thought about what life would be like without one. Last week's open letter to the Harvard community concerning randomization (News, May 8), authored and signed by 27 present and past tutors of color, however, has set me wondering...
Drag performances, from the late Charles Ludlum to Lypsinka, have a long, honored tradition in Manhattan's downtown theater scene. But this is a wig of a different color.

True, Hedwig's stage patter has its share of double entendres ("I do love a warm hand on my entrance"), but the literate script is also a poignant meditation on loneliness, gender confusion and the Platonic notion that...
Weakening these residential communities without offering an alternative is problematic. We remind the University that life for students of color at Harvard can be qualitatively different than it is for their white counterparts.

The perception among many is that randomization places the burden of diversification firmly on the shoulders of individual minority students, who are now forcibly dispersed across the campus. By sprinkling a "manageable" number of minority students in each of the twelve houses one does not necessarily ensure increased students interaction. In fact, we contend that randomization has actually stifled student interaction in many houses. Through public...
