...freshmen. “The drive behind it is not to influence decisions about blocking, but as you move into a diverse community in houses, to see how [blocking groups] relate to social networks at Harvard,” said Styles, who is a Foundation intern. After eating corn bread, pork, macaroni and cheese, and turkey sandwiches, freshmen were asked to break off into groups of seven to play a game called “Access.” Styles asked each of the three groups to choose a volunteer. The volunteers were taken outside and asked to start...
...Quakers struggled to a 12-27 record last season but finished second in the Gehrig Division. They have some talented players, including outfielder Joey Boaen and catcher Josh Corn, but desperately need starting pitching on a staff that had an absurd 8.26 combined ERA in 2006. Both Boaen and Corn batted above .345, and the pair combined for seven home runs...
...bison: doing so is good for the planet. Bison are leaner than cattle because they are still wild animals who range and eat grass; they do not tolerate confinement well, and so they cannot be fattened the way we do cattle, which we have bred to eat rich corn mixtures their entire adult lives. Growing corn to feed cattle costs the nation dearly in terms of pesticide and fertilizer runoff. The pollution and inhumanity of the confinement-feedlot beef system make it one of postwar America's biggest ecological blunders...
...Earning the non-GMO label, at least initially, requires nearly as much effort as getting certified organic. To root out the genetically modified corn, Straus spent several months and about $10,000 testing, re-testing and tracing back his products: from his own dairy's milk, to other dairies that supply some of his milk, to the brokers who sell them feed, to their mills that grind the corn, to farmers who grow it. To put the GM-free label on his ice cream, Straus will have to trace the chickens that provided the egg yolks, the grain used...
...Harvard Vegetarian Society maintains that HUDS is a strong ally to anyone who lives a meatless life. Even on days when vegan-friendly entrees don’t abound (for lunch on Friday Mar. 9, the only vegan dining options were miso soup and whole kennel corn), the salad bar is a perennial fallback. “You can’t really go wrong there,” says Wiggin. HUDS pulls out all the stops to keep the lentils and tofu inspired: Director for Marketing and Communications Crista Martin meets with a vegetarian committee regularly, and has worked...
