Gomes gropes for the correct word to describe University President Lawrence H. Summers, finally choosing to call Summers the “tribune” of the students. This is a radical claim. Harvard, the large entity over which Summers presides, is not supposed to care about undergraduates. There are bottom lines and worldwide reputations and fundraising demands that traditionally have preceded chatting up undergrads on the president’s list of priorities. But Summers makes the Undergraduate Council meeting rounds, heads to House Masters’ open houses once in a while and talks consistently?...
...column “Violence and Valentine’s,” Stephen E. Sachs ’02 raises some important issues but ultimately misses the point of V-day and the Coalition Against Sexual Violence (CASV) poster campaign. To be fair, Sachs is correct about many things in his column. First, he is right to suggest that awareness about sexual assault should not be limited to Valentine’s Day.

Changing times required a change of pace, and Arnold gamely struggled to reinvent his image with films like Last Action Hero. This 1993 effort (read: it’s an effort to watch) was intended as a sort of film within a film; the dreadful result is more a film without a film. Subsequent comedies like Junior, in which he became the first man to give birth, miscarried at the box office. When the news leaked in 1997 that Arnold had undergone surgery...
