...someone who has been a conservative at Harvard for the past four years like Mr. Lacaria, I must contest his account of the state of conservatism on campus (“The Elephant in the Room,” Fifteen Minutes magazine, Oct. 8). More than ever before, Harvard conservatives and the Harvard Republican Club are making new inroads on campus—from inclusive events that challenge the status quo to activism that changes the course of our nation’s history. Being a conservative is absolutely not about “conserving what cannot be conserved?...
...talisman related to the club’s storied past. Grave robbing is encouraged. When conversation fails, take the initiative to start a Greco-Roman wrestling tournament. But bring your own oil, (Bilotti found that out the hard way). On the other hand, you could try a pie-eating contest. Only bring enough pies for yourself, so that the focus can be all on you.

Unfortunately, the improvement in play was not enough to secure the win, as Harvard took the loss 8-4. “The Brown team stepped up,” Green said. “They...
Absolutely not. The neutral defense of fundamental freedoms is at the core of the civil liberties agenda, which is looking beyond the immediate factual contest to understand that what is being fought for is a general principle that we have to defend every time it's threatened. As experience shows, if government ever has the power to violate one right for one person, then no right is safe for any other person...
