...sort of aspersion at our hallowed halls this past weekend, however: the neutrality of the article about Harvard was disputed. We aren’t by any means the first or the only article to be given this distinction. The ability to question the even-handedness of Wikipedia content is an important peer review mechanism built into the site as a check against would be ne’er-do-wells. But most of the disputed articles are about well-known hot topics: Creationism or the Palestinian National Liberation Movement or whatever. Harvard, one would think, might generate...

We are also worried by the candidates’ apparent carelessness in contacting the College administration, which they have not approached about the content and viability of their proposals. Their neglecting to do so, we feel, could well compromise their relationship with University Hall once elected. Since the administration was not included in the process of formulating these very ambitious proposals, we fear that they would be less inclined to work with Grimeland...

This loosely plotted form works well for the humorous aspects of the operetta—which are numerous, thanks to the content of the work, the stage direction of professional J. Jacob Krause with music direction by Aram N. Demirjian ’08, and the strong cast performances.

Also noteworthy is Mad Margaret, love interest of Robin’s brother, played by Jessica G. Peritz ’06 with a mixture giddiness, attention-deficit disorder...
